"I elven have greet dfflicult in makin ends meet on to hundred and fifty," sat Mr. 44 ilby, sadly. "I never give more," Said the rector "It's anile for to yonng bechelor," "1 should like to thinle it over." "Very good," replied the rector. " have to vieit to pear woman, and you. me give me your answer when I return—i half an hour. Make yourself corrifortelel in that armointir," The rector withdrew, and Mr, Wilby sa down and considered whether it were were not worth his while to accept th ouracer. A hundred and fifty/ pounds era not much, and then he had no privete re sourceo, and he shifted uneasily in the arm chair. Something --a lump of some kind--eva pressing Mee the small of his back. H rose and reached his hand between th back of the chaiMand the leather cushion. Yes, there was something. He "drew ou a roll of paper ; it was a printed dooement. Further examination revealed the fee that it was to sermon, Mr. Wilby smiled when he saw the words "Sermon Supply Association" at, the foot of the outside wrapper. Inside followed the text, "Now, Bitrabbas was a robber," and then came an excellent discourse. "0, he does, does he? exelaimed Mr. Wilby. And he told me he was pertiaular about to high level of preaching being main- tainedin los pulpit." Putting the document back in Mt hiding place Mr. Wilby strolled over to the rector's writing table and began to look idly at the things on it. A very smart .sertnon case of bleak velvet, ornamented with a cross of gold, lay on the blotting pad. " To-merr' ow's sermon I suppose," ob- served Mr. Wilby, and he took it up. "Now, Barabbas was to robber." The words figured at the head of the rector's discourse. Mr. Wilby read them with a sad smile, and proceeded to read on. Presently he went and fetched the hid- den document from the armchair, and read that and the rector's discourse (which was very neatly written and tied together with a piece of blue ribbon) alternately. " Really, you know," said Mr. Wilber. "bit's copied it all out, word for weed, in his own handwriting." At this moment a step was heard out- side. Mr. Wilby hastily put down the rector's sermon and laid it where he had found it. The other document he slid into his coat tail pocket. The rector entered. " Well, Mr. Wilby, have you reached a decision ?" he said. - " I've,decided to accept the charge, sir. Money is not the only thing to be consid- ered." " Excellent. I preach in the morning. Perhaps you would take the Mission Hall service, then, and preach in the church in the evening ?" The parishioners always admired the rector's sermons very much, but he had seldom given more satisfaction than by his stirring discourse on the text, " Now, Bare.bbas was a robber." It was listened to with breathless in- terest, and on his way home the rector was forced to promise the loan of tho manu— script to no less than four ladies, each of whom was anxious to read and copy it. The congregation was larger than usual that evening, owing to the interest excited by the new curate's first appearance. The rector himself leaned forward with an ex- preszion of amiable though somewhat pat- ronizing attention. Mr. Wilby, whose bearing showed a self- possessed modesty, gave out his text, in to clear votce, repeating it twice lest any one should fail to catch itt. " Now, Baro.bbas was to robber." The rector started; so did his wife and many among the congregation. The coin- cldence was remarkable. However, as Mr. Wilby continued, the coincidence became very much more re- markable; so remarkable, indeed, as to be entirely incredible. Some tittered, some stared, some whis- pered. The rector's wife fixed a stony glare on the preacher; for Mr. Wilby preached the very same sermon, identically the same in the slightest word, which his 11 r e e ector had preached in the morning ! At last the ordeal—for the rector it was n ordeal --ended, and lie and Mr. Wilby toed together in the vestry. Silence was nbroken until Mr. Wilby observed in an nnocent voice. -- "I hope you are not dissatisfied with 1 ny first attempt, rector. I ought to tell ou-- " / The rector was gone!

" I will find him for myself," said Mr. Wilby. As he approached the door he heard voices. 1 " I will find Min for myself," 1. "I'll thank you to tell me, Algernon," said a voice. Mr. Wilby knocked loudly and opened the door. The rector's wife still in her bonnet, stood in the middle of 1 the room. l The rec or was etanding by the arm- , chair, withe ono hand resting on the top 0 ' of the cushion ; he looked aa if he were W ' prepared to defend the armchair with the , last drop of his blood.

"In fact, impossible," said the curate ; and he moved the sheet of paper toward the candle. " You'd be in luxury on a hundred and sixty," said the reoter reflectively.

Among the many valuable collectiont of coins and badges owned by New York mil- lionaires, there is said to be but one Victoria Cross. That was bought abroad some years ago by Mr. John Aspinwall Hadden to grace his eollectinn of original war medals. It now lies in a glass case in the Metropola tan Museum of Are, having been presented by Mrs. Redden something over two years ago. As to bit of red ribbon is still attach- ecl to it, those vented in the history of the Victoria uross know it formerly belonged to a soldier. The highest price ever paid for this decoration by any collector was £2,500, by Private William Griffiths, at a sale at the famous Christie's, in London. Strange to say,one was sold one (ley last week in Cork, Ireland. It was in a collection belonging to the late J.,T. Mahoney,Esq., and brought a fair price. The creee is made from cap- tured gun metal, and is supposed to be 'eery rare, although the London Gazette has published the names of 407 men who have been decorated with this cross. The late Prince Consort is credited with having created and designed the insignia for this new order for distinguished bravery - in 1856. All ranks of the British Army and Navy can aspire to this honor, regard- less of rank or social standing. It consists of a Maltese cross of brcrize, attached by the letter V to a bar �u which a sprig of laurel is embciesed. On the ob- verse, in the centre is the British Lion and Crown. Beneath ft is to scroll bearing the inscription, "For Valour." The reverse is plain, the name and corp e of the recipient being engraved on the bar to which the rib. ben is attached. The date of the act of bravery is in the centre of the cross. This decoration recognizes neither rank, long service, wounds, nor any other cir- cumstances tvhatever save the one of great: and conspicuous bravery. That is the Only claim to this honor, and it is, therefore, highly prized. The names of reeipieuts are published in the London Gezette and a registry carefully kept in the office of the Secretary of State. The cross is suspended from the leftbreast by a, blue ribbon for the navy and a red one for the army. The recipient receives a life pension of RIO, and an additional pension of £5 • for each additional act of bravery. Any per- son selected for this honor may be decent - ed on the field or at the spot where the aot of bravery took place in the presence of the naval or military force to which he belongs. This has often been done, and is still fond- ly spoken of by many of these brave men. A Brilliant and Woonaly Sootohwomatb Readers of English magazines mustebave toticed brilliant articles bearing the sig- nature of Madame Blaze de Bury. This remarkable woman died a few days ago, and was buried in Paris. She was of Scottish parentage and birth, having been born at Oban 80 years ago. Her father, also a Septchman, was an officer in the English army, and her mother an Edinburgh lady. She married a well-known critic of The Revue des Deux Mondee, who, however, predeceased her, but he brought her into association with all the cultivated Minds of France. Her correspondence extended to most of the great men of Europe, statesmen like Bismarck as well as savants. In her brilliant salon assembled from time to time all the genius of France. Her broad sym. pathies enabled her to agree with the most diverse mental and moral neeveraente, and her equal knowledge of the chief European latiguages was the merk of her interest in the intellectual phenomena of het tittle.

So great is Sir George's opinion as to hoporable seorecy in all matters between solicitor and client, that in sorae cases he al, ma knows the dona- tion of many a, magnificent gift as a. token of help rendered AT A ORIVIOAL MOMEST. 1 saw some of these gifts in his drawing- roem—though there is a cellar packed with them below. They are of the greatest value and most exquisite workmanship—grand vases, snuffeboxes, Oriental daggers, cigar - cases, silver.gilt cabiziets and many more. Ely piece has quite a little history of ite own. So 1 learned from Sir George as we drove through the gates, which are shut every night at 9 o'clock. It is a very old bit of London,and is governed by a separate act of Parliament. It is the only place in the metropolis where the old-time custom of crying out the hours of the night by the porter is still kept up, end Sir George,00nsiders it one of the best -guarded spots in London. , It would require a more than average en- terprising cracksman to successfullyply his jimmy and drilla upbn the bars and bolts of the door which leads to the strong room at Ely place. It was the first room I +went into as soon as we arrived at the lausiiiess house of the solicitor. While driving down Sir George said: "One branch of my profession is that which never becomes publio, that is, the secrets of -London. I have not kept a diary for over twenty years! When I found that my business was becoming so confidential I determined that I would never chronicle another thing —so when I die the confidences of London society die with tne. "At one time I thought the feet of my not keeping a diary — for reference sake — might lemi to some severe observations in court, di all lawyers are expected TO KEEP SUCH A BOOK "But a Lord Justice told me he was per- fectly certain that no judge, under such pecular circumstances as these, would ever blame me. Let me tell you," and Sir George spoke very calmly, without a tinge of egotism in his tone, "that no novel was ever written, or play ever produced, that has or could contain such incidents and situations as at the present moment• are securely locked up in the archives of my memory which no mao will ever discover. "What was your first case, Sir George?" I asked. "It occurred during the absence of my father. I was about nineteen at the time. A hansom drove up here, and a woman rushed into the office in a terrible state of mind. She told me that her son was in custody at Westminster police court on a charge of robbing a till ie a public: house. I rushed away with her in a cab„ fooght the case, and won it ; though 'I will admit to you that while I was questioning the wit- nesses I didn't k.BOW whether I was on my head or my heels. "The mother was a big muscular woman, and waited for me outside. I was made very , happy by the wonls which accom- panied her little too enthusiastic smack on the back: 'Well done, young 'ant But her enthusiasm hurt." At the termination of his articles he went ,into partnership with his father and uncle. "There was the 13alhani mystery," said Sir George, as he remembered some of these "sensations." " I represented the family of the late Mr. Bravo; Sir Henry James, Mrs. Bravo ; Sergeant Parry, Dr. Gully ; while Mr. Murphy was for Mrs. Cox. A verdict had beep obtained that. Mr. Bravo had committed suicide and . NOT BEEN POISONED, but the friends of Mr. Bravo not beide satisfied, the Court of Queen% Bench did a most unusual thing and ordered a fresh in- quest. The jury found a new verdict of wilful murder agratist some person or per- son2Ntionwknl °iswtenn.. It is much to be regretted that at an inquest the advocateris not allow- ed to ma,ke a, speech to the jury. Had I been able to do so, I could and should at once have relieved both Dr. Gully and Mrs. Bravo frometny suggestion that they in any way participated in the crime. You are at liberty to say—and I am publicly express- ing this for the first time --that I then and still do believe them—Not guilty "Then who poisoned Mr. Bravo ?" I ex- claimed. " Who ?" repeated Sir George—and be told me the name. The Hattori Gardeti diamond robbery." Sir George went on. "was certainly one of the most ingerdouo.

GOLD AT *RAINY arysit. Americans Who are Excited Over the Re cent Discoveries—Rainy Lake elty Likely to Room. A Port Arthur special says :—Thorries Weigand, of Fort William, has juat returned from the Rainy River distriale He went up with Surveyor Lougheed, to compiete some surveys for gold lands around hoal Leke, which is about 35 miles east of Fort Francis. He reports meeting a party of surveyors who mune in from Fort Francis end surveyed the laud all around the loca- tions his party had taken up. He has it bag cif gold rock with him, nearly every pieue of which show % native gold. The Americans have simply gone wild over the gold and coal They are flocking in, overland by teams, using the old McKenzie water etretches to get from Tower and the Duluth & Iron Range and Mesaba Railways into what they belieirl to be a new Eldorado. Gold has been peened out from dirt alongside of the gold reef,. The most important as yet is Black By, situated about six miles across country' from Fort Francis easterly, and 'about twelve miles by ice. This is on American territory. Here is where the gold was washed out. About five miles across the water boundary on the Canadian side, Charlie Moore, the well-known Eat Portage explorer, took up some gold lands, the samples of which are just as rich as irate the American gold reefs. Rainy Lake City, the American Fort Francis, already boasts of a saw -mill, brought in overland from Tower, through 63 miles of wilderneos. If the gold washings turn out as well next summer as the samples picked and thawed have done this winter it is expected that Rainy Lake City will have 15,000 inhabi- tantby fall. "News" From Honolulu. Next to Rio Janeiro, the last piece on earth at the present time from which the tenth is likely to be filtered through Am- erican newspaper despatches, is Houolulu. The agents of the Provisional Government there are busier than ever trying to pro- mote the came of annexation to the United States, and they have the press of that country largely with them. Under these circumstances no abuse is considered suf- ficient to heap upon the Queen and her adherents, and no canards, however ill - manufactured, are refused publication in America. The story which The New Yolk Tribune makes a sensation out of is certain- ly the silliest on record. The one fact which it makes plain enough is this'that Mr. Dole is keeping the military exclusive- ly engaged in protecting his own pre- cious person teem the possibility of dan- ger, whilst crime is increasing on all hands around him and. the residents are li‘ingin terror. Such a state of things cannot continue. Mr. Dole may be able to maintain his present position a little longer by drawing upon his ingenuity in other ways than by seeking allies in the United States. The action of Congress has left him to bear a load of responsibility upoa which he had not counted. He alreaely finds it too much for him. If he is President for the time being, he must protect the rights and interests of foreign residents. He reeds all his armed force for service as a body guard, or he thinks he does. If the people are so confiding as to take any stock in cock and bull dynamite stories they may permit him to keep his soldiers for another week or two. But then they will probably grow tired of it and demand some Govern- ment meter which they can carry on their business without fear or interruption onoe more. Mr. Dule is coming to the end of his tether. GILEWSORE WELSH SUPERSTITIO N A Red -Rot Pitchfork Plinosiell into ihe Corpse or a Supposed With. An old woman in a village near Snesbarg recently died, says the Cardiff (Wales) Mail., Her death gave great satisfaction to the other villagers, for she was leaked upon as a witch and feared accordingly. After the funeral severarof the chief inhabitants repaired to the Wirthelnat to celebrate suitably the relief experienced at getting this dangerous person safely underground; but while they were drinking pleasantly in mune a messenger to say that the cow of one of those presen t,a neighbor of the deceased, had died suddenly without any apparent cause. The meeting, horromstrieken, ad- journed in a body to exatnine the cow, and unanimously agreed Una the animal had been bewitched. No doubts were enter- tained as to the perpetrator of the deed. Evidently burying was not enough to stop this dangerous old lady, mid it was decided, atter earnest discussion, to adopt the old plan of making a horse jump over the witch's grave, and thus put an end to her powers. A horse was accordingly fetched, but, strange to say, nothing would induce him to jump over the grave. The incontets- able proof of the unholy influence emanating from the spot caused the public excitement taincrease. The mayor of the village de eided to use a somewhat drastic means, much in favor in the middle ages, viz., to stab the witch's body with a red-hot pitch fork. The body was exhumed, the fork heated, and the whole ceremony carried out. By the thee the cotnpomy bad finished their work and gone back to refresh them- selves at the WIrthchaft, the authorities of the town had heard of what evae going on. A party of :flaunted police were emit to the village, arid all those who had been concern, ed in the affair were taken into Custody.

Occasionally we also played "white man." Our kr owlecige of the pale -face was litnited but we had learned that he brought goods whenever he came, and that our people ex- nhanged furs for his merchandise. We alto knew, somehow, that his complexion was white, that he wore short hair on his head and long hair on his face, and that he had coat, trousers, and hat, and did not pat- ronize blankets in the daytime. This was the picture we had formed of the white man. So we painted two or three of our number with white clay, and put on them birchen hats, which we sewed up for ehe occasion, fastened a piece of fur to their chins for a beard, and altered their costume as much as lay within our power. The white of the biroh-bark was made to an- swer for their white shirts. Their mer- chandise consisted of sand for sugar, wild beans for coffee, dried leaves for tea, pul- verized earth for gunpowder, pebbles for bullets, and clear water for dangerous "fire- water." We traded for these goods with skits of squirrels, rabbit's, and small birds. --fDr. Charles A. Eastman, in St. Nicho- las. St. Bernard Dogs. As we stand around the window looking out, at the beautiful snow -clad earth, little Robert claps his hands and screams with delight as Menthou—a handsome St. Ber- nard dog—dashes around sniffing the snow and then rollizag over and over again, shak- ing his shaggy coat, only to bound or, mak- ing the suow fly in every direction. For a short time little Robert watches him with delight, and then with a, wise loot on his wee face says: "Mamma, why do they call him a St. Bernard?" So mamma told how the noble dogs de- rived their name from the Hospice of Se Bernard. The Hospice of St. Bernard is the highest habitation in Europe and is a famous mountain pass in the Pennine Alps, eetween Piedmont and the Valais. The pass attains an elevation of more than 8000 feet above the sea level, and almost on its very crest, on the edge of a small lake, which is frozen over nine months out of the twelve, stands the hosptce, founded in 962 by Bernard de Menthou, Savoyard noble- man, for the beneet of pilgrims to Rome, and now largely taken advantage of by travellers across the Alps. The hospice is occupied by St. Augustine monks who with their noble dogs of St. Bernard breed have rescued neany hundred travellers from death by exposure to cold or burial in the snow, which in winter ranges from 10 'to 40 feet in depth. The St. Bernard dog is remarkable for great size, strength a,nd sagacity. The dogs not only accompany the monks and servants of the hospice in the benevolent excursions which they regularly take through the most dangerous parts of the pass, but are sent out by themselves to search for travellers who may have wandered, and this their ex- tremely acute scent, enables them to do. They soon learn what places are most pro. per to be searched and when the weather assumes a threatening aspect some of them show great alertness, as if desirous to be at work. They carry a small flask of wine or brandy attached to their necks, of which the traveller may avail himself. When they find a traveller is too mneh exhausted to proceed by their guidance to the hospice, or if they cannot by their own efforts dig peaty the snow which has covered him, they run and give the alarm by signs that are at once un ierstood. One famous dog, Barry, was said to be instrumental in sav- ing the lives of forty human beings. His moot memorable achievement was the res- cue of a little boy whose mother had been destroyed by an avalanche, and whom be induced to mount his back, and so carried him safely to the hospice. The origin of this valuable race of dogs is not Well ascer- tained, although they are supposed to have sprung from a progeny of a Danish dog left at the hespice bya tremeller, and of the Alpine shepherds, dogs. Another account represents an English mastiff as one of their progenitors. There are two sub -varie- ties however, one with rough hair like that of the Newfoundland, the other with close short hair.
