BY DAVID KER. The quiet little village of Holzmengen, in Transylvania, was all in an uproar one bright manner afternoon long ago, for its Saxon inhabitents were fightiug for their Hies against terrible odds, as they had fought many a time before. The whole elope of the hill on the brow of which it stood was one great crowd of wild.looking .nen, with dark, fierce faces and white tur- bans and strangely fashioned armor—those dreaded Turkish soldiers the memory of whose fierceness is still preserved in our saying that any man of savage temper is "a regular Turk." And all this time, while the air was rent with the din of betas, and Death was gaping to devour the village and and all within it, a little girl barely ten years old, with long fair hair and eyea as blue and bright at the sky overhead, was at work in her little garden just behind the village church as quietly as if no enemy were within a hun- dred miles of her. But this was not so strange as it looked. Little Lizzie was the daughter of the sexton who had charge of the church, which, ea the largest and safest building in the place, was always used as a hospital in time of war ; and the work upon which the little woman was so busy was the preparing of bandages for the wounded, who were now being brought in thick and fest. But hi the midst 'of all this uproar and agony and death the sun shone as brightly as ever, and the trees of the tiny garden rustled in the evening breeze, and around the twelve neat hives that stood ranged in a row the bees were humming blithely as they hovered among the flowers; and any one who had shut his ears to the frightful din below might have thought this spot the moat peaceful in the whole world. And now L'ez:e, catching up a whole arm- ful of bandage., hurried away into the church, where she was soon so busy among the wounded men that she hardly noticed that the noise of the battle was growing louder, seeming to roll nearer and nearer evety moment. But auddenly a fearful cry hem without made her leek up, and through the nearest window she saw the Germans crowding wildly into the one small gate of the church. yard wall, while behind them the dark TarkAlt Luxe and slow -white turbans were eddying like a flood araong the houses. The Turks had taken the village, and were coming on to attack the church itself I Luckily it could only be attacked en one side, for on the other the rock was se steep and slippery that no man alive could have scaled it. So the brave village bailiff, though bleediag from several wounds rang- ed his raw along the side of the wt:ll that faced the enemy, and encouraged them to stand firm and tight it out to the laat. On came the Turks with hoarse yells of triumph, and in a moment the whole apace outside the churchyard wall was a sea of grim fames and flashing steeL And now the swarming assailants made a third charge, which brought them right up to th'e foot of the wall that sheltered all who were left of the defenders; and while some hunciered upon the gate with axes, others planted ladders againat the wall or tried to clamber up it On each other's shoulders. Another moment and all would have been over; ; but just then Lizzie, struck with a bright idea (which cams to her from an old' story that she had heard one winter. even- ing),; darted back into her little garden, seized two of the beehives, one in each' band, and springing upon the low wall, hurled them among the swarming assail. ants. Two more instantly followed, and then other two, until the whole dozen hives had been flung down upon the heads of the clambering Turks. ,, , The bees, enraged to Madness lie being sent whirling through the 'air so uncere moniously, fell like furies upon the shaven heills and bare arms of" the Turkish sold and geke 'them, such a pricking that the Saxon arrows which had been falling so thick assent there seemed a Mere nothing in comparison. Every man in the , front rankswas literally black with the infuriatas - ed insects, Which kept stinging the more fiercely the more the bewildered Turke tried to beet them off.

A German court has deolared the publica- tion of Dr. Mackenzie's book to be illegal. Dr. Mackerel° is an Englishman. He re- ceived immense sums for traveling to San Remo 'and Woking' wisely at the Emperor Frederick's throat. The German doctors said Mackenzie would kill the Raiser. The Kaiser died, and the German doctors ad- duced the event as the fulfillment of their courteous prophecy. Dr. Mackenzie's book teaches that the German doctors killed the pstient. The same Germans Who would give $100.000 for Mackenzie's opinion be- fore Frederick died would not give a fig for it now. , But Dr. Mackenzie has the hund- red thousand dollars, providing he has not spent,it in publishing the book. Ib seems that 300 veterinary surgeons in Great Britain have signed a paper oondemn- ing tight bearing reins, and well might the essayist conclude with the following apg peal -- " We wish that every woman, as well as man, who feels the slightest interest in heroes:- and where is the man, woman or child who is devoid of mesh interese?— would'think e the duties they owe to these faithful dumb servants. If any lady of fashion, instead of lying back against her carriage cushions, unernscious of the dis- tress she is permitting, will go in front of her horses, where she can look beneath the blinders, end see the apeaking gaze of their beautiful, impluring eyes, we know that her sympathy will give her no rest until she has secueed their rightful comfort." Yee, ladies, pity the poor horses, tortured to make it appear that you are of the creme de Is creme. "Old Hutch," or "Old Clutch' as he might more truthfully be called, the Chicago wheat -broker who worked the recent corner to his own gratifica.tion and Ike ruin of hun- reds, ought to have tingling ears in these ays if there is any captchy for blushing eft in him. But he is too old for that, and no haid-hearted. By the way, what a !lastly commentary the whole of that huge gamble" was on the hypocritical pretences tvith which the Chicago Board of Trade notified its persecutions of the bucket - hops Not that the bucket -shops were ight things, or aught but morel pestilances. us Satan never rebuked sin with a more cynical sense of being a humbug, than these igh-toned brokers must surely have felt in heir righteous indignationover small "deals' n corn and wheat. Why, that man made ore miaohief, was the direct cause of more emoralization, than perhaps all the bucket - hops in Chicago ever mused in a whole ear. A writer in the Chicago Interior, peaking on this subject, expreasea. himself boldly and unmistakably that a few lines are worth giving :— " I have seen scores of pictures of the roh energy of mankind, but ia not one of hem does tnere. seem to be so much that is eroe, Satanic, as in the man who can look pen the wreck and ruin he has made, with- ut one flickering of pity ascrossicis merciless yes.

The professed programme cf the Liberal party is confined to the one item of unrestricted reolproeity with the States. Per that, it is apparently ready to sacrifice everything. It sooffe at British connection. It argues that Canada would be stronger standing alone than•with Britain at its back, while it argues at thesame time, that Canada, in presence of any attempt. ed seulence on the part of the United States, ?could be perfectly powerless. It gives up all idea of free trade principles and throws its old contention for economical expendi- ture and a low revenue tariff to the winds. Nor is the other side much better or more consistent. In short things look pretty well mixed, but the great guiding prinei- ple shines pretty well through all, viz., filet the ins want to keep in and the outs want to take their placer. .1n the meantime, the sue of British connection or of annexation is being presented to the Canadian people with more and more distinctness. Free trade with the States and a prohibitory tariff against all the rest '•of the world is practically what is advocated in regions which used to be called liberal, and the eat mass of Canadians fail to tree either the lathe or the profit of such a course and are beginning more and more to feel that the prudent and safe course is for them to have the greatest friendliness and the freest 1:tensible commercial interoourses with all nations, but entangling, compromising bar. gains and arrarumments with horse There are mere people ruined by rthifting from one occupation to another in search of something they think they Will like better than anything they have yet tried than in any other way.

At the late Episcopal Conference held in Manchester, England, the wildest, or what till lately has been euppbsed to be the wild- est possible talk was indulged in, and was, instead of being rebuked, received with en- thusiastic cheers. For instance at one of the sittings of the Congrese, Archdeacon Ferrer repudiated, with all the force of his 'conviction, what was until a few years ago the general and orthodox idea of eternal pun- ishment, as being dishonorable to the view which God had given of Himself, subversive of the full blessed salvation, fundamentally opposed to their unsophisticated ideas of justice as well asof mercy, and abhorrent to the natural reason and consciousness of mankind. (Cheers.For himself the one text, "God is love," was sufficient to dis- prove the doctrine of endless torment. (Cbeers.) When he offered up a prayer that God might have mercer upon all men, he did not think that he was offering a hope- less and impossible petition inconsistent to God's justice, or beyond the power of the mercy which triumphed over justice. (Re- newed cheers.) The Rev. Sir George W. Cox, York, contributed a paper in which he said that half a century ago they would have told glibly and summarily that death was for man the limit of divine merest, and that all who died without repentance would be subjected after the judgment to ineen- ceivable and endless agonies. They had escaped from this evil dream. The beliefs now or lately prevalent with referenoe to -the so-called "last things" were plainly contradicted by the language of the greatest and most illustrious teachers of Christendom from the earliest ages. Rev. W T. Hobson maintained there was nothing in the Scrip- tures to teach that the soul of man was absolutely immortal. Mr J. R. Graham said the doctrine that some would be lost and not the many was free from the hideous Calvinism of Spurgeon, the gross material - Nth of certain Roman Catholics and the wild, reckless speculation of the Christ- ian World. (Hear, hear) Dr. Randall desired to make a solemn protest against the soil destroying heresies thet had that afternoon been spoken. Like the great mass of the people, he held the old faith rather than thee orude theories of modern. assurance. (Cheers and dissent.) If all these people can remain within the sante church fellowship there SeeMS little need for a variety of churches. Mr. Bright on. Public Speaking. The London Times says :—The Rev. G. E. Cheeseman has received the following letter from Mr. Bright. Mr. Cheeseman wrote to the righb hon. gentleman and sought his advice as to various methods of preparation for public speaking—namely (1) writing speeches ;and treading them; (2) writing and comraitting to memory ; (3) sketching the heads of the topic and trusting to the inspiration of the moment for the wordein which to clothe the thought. Mr Bright, in reply, said :—" As to modes of preparation for speaking, it seems to me that every nran would readily discover what suits him best. To write speeches and then to commit them th memory is, as you term it, a double slavery, whioh I could not bear. To speak without preparation, wipe- cielly on great and solemn topics, is rash - nes, And cannot be recommended. When I ntend to speak on anything that seems to me important, I oonsider what it is that I wish to impress upon my audience. I do not write my facts or my arguments, but make notes on two or three or four slips of note paper, giving the line of argument and the facts as they occur to my mind, and I leave the words to come at call while I am speaking. There are occasionally short pag- ing= which, for accuracy, I may write down, as sometimes also—almost invariably —the concluding words or sentences may be written. .This is very nearly all I can say on this question.

Slum° & Co .Portland Maine A Tropical Night at Sea. Night : steaming towards the equator, with Demerara Per a goal. A terrifio warm wind that compels the takiag in of every awning arid wind -sail. Driving tepid rain. Blaoknees intense, broken only by the phosphorescence ofthe sea whioh to -night displays extraordinary radence. Oar wake is a great broad seething river of fire, whiter than strong moonlight; the glow is bright encugh to read by. At its centre the trail is brightest ; at the edge it pales cloudily, ourliug like a =then of phosphorous. Great therp lights burst up momentarily through itlike meteors. Weir- der, however, than this' wake of strange light are the long slow fires that keep burn- ing about us, at a distance, out in the dark. Nebulous inoandeticences arise, change form and peas; serpentine flames wriggle bythen there are longbillowing crests of fire. These aeem to be formed of millions of tiny spars that Hein up all at the tame time, glow brightly au hile, disappear, reappear and whirl away in a prolonged smouldering. Morning: Steaming etill tionth, through a Mt blue day. Deep s zure heaven, with bluhih white glow in the horizon; in dig sea, Then again night, all luminous and very calm. The Southern cross burns whitely. We are nearing the enormous shallows of the South American coast. Morning. The light of en orange-ooloured min illuminates, not a blue, but a greenish - yellow, sickly ' sea—thick, foul, glaaay smcoth. We are in the shallows. The line - caster keeps calling, hour after hour, "And a half four, sir r Quarter less fivet sir 1" .Tnere is little variation in his soundings— always a quarter of a fathom or half a fath- om difference. The air has a sickly heavi- ness, like the sir above a. swamp. , And ablne sky 1 The water -green' shows olive and. brownish tones alternately; the foam looks viscous end yellow; our wake is ochre -coloured, very yellow and very shiny - looking. It seems unnatural that a blue sky should hang over so hideous' a waste of water; it seems to demand a gray blind sky, such gray and such green being the colours of a frestewater inundation. We are only five or six degrees north of the equator. Very low the laud lies before us ; a thin dark green line, suggesting marshiness, miasma, paludal odour; and always the natteeona lolour of the water deepens. Even this eisine ghastly flood washes the great penal colony ofCayenne, There when A convict dies, the body is borne to the sea, and a.great bell is tolled. And then is the viscous, glaucous eea surface furrowed mid- elenly by fina innumerable siert, sharp, triangular—the legions of the sharks rushing to the hideous funeral. They know the Bell. Two Husbands. A. rather sad case oame before Justice, Ouimet, of the Superior Court, to -day for. •judgment. It is alleged that Pierre Labbe, of Quebec, a.nd Adeleide Masse, of the same place, were united in marriage during the year 1863, but for some unexplained reasom the husband left his native province and was not seen in this country until about four years ago. La the meantime it was stated that the missing husband had been ship- wrecked and a fellow -seaman even came for- ward and testified ilea he had seen the un- fortunate Quebecker washed overboard. The supposed widow mourned the loss of her hue- bend.unti. 1876, when she married one Henri P. Labelle, of Montreal. The thou ele appeared to live hitppily together for eight years when in 1884, to the surprise of man and wife,' husband No. 1 tuned up and declared that. he had never been devl at ell. Being good Catholics Lsbelle toad his wife separated at once, and Mgr. Fabre having declared their the second retentive was null ahd void, thos. seoond husband =lied that this deolaion be ratified by the Civil court% This was done, but the singular pert of the businthe is that the first and real husband hed no desire to claim his wife and although the ecclesiasti- cal and civil law Luse° given him back his wife Lehbe vsill hsve nothing more to do with her, ana has again left for parts un- known. The widow In the meantime is stop- ping with her son. Dark Days Ahead. Stranger (to Arizona oitizen;—" Whateri wrong in this town? .As quiet es is graveyard." • • "A big calamity, pilgrim.
