The Interesting Way* of a GorO* tnat
lives in Berlin.
Lo.^>^y2V877
a r n tmUhed u;<*onaSei whose ar
. A, ^s""oguis"?"^ awaited with con
witn Sr^? enemies, is just now receiving
Fne^35ble calls from his large circle of
in?J^?Tin Berlin. He is called Pongo,
J?T is the- most interesting result of a
^Prussian scientific. expedition into the
interior of Africa.
An account of his habits is furnished
by a correspondent in the Prussian capi
ital, who is on terms- of great intimacy
with him: "Pongo is now," the writer
believes, "nearly three years old, and he
is about three feet high; his skin is cov?
ered with soft, silky hair, mixed with
gray, and reddish on the head. He has
a powerful form, muscular arms, smooth,
polished. black' face, with well-shaped
ears, and a large, sharp and malicious
eye, which gives him a strikingly human
appearance. When one has the pleasure,
as I had this week, of spending a morn?
ing with him in his apartment, he strikes
you?after having got over the slight
feeling of disappointment which is pro?
duced by the absence of any bridge to
his nose?as being singularly like a very
amusing, playful, and good-natured negro
boy, rather awkward in some of his ges?
tures, and, in his mode of progression,
sometimes, distinctly ape-like. As he
sits, looking solemnly round him, he ap?
pears to be thinking of what the next
joke shall-, be, until presently something
in your gestures or voice pleases him,
and then suddenly he claps his. hands
together and nods with an air of great
delight.
"He is very sociable, and distinguishes
young from old and male from- female
visitors. He is exceedingly attached to
the society of children of two or three
years old, plays about with them as
though recognizing them as playfellows
of his own .''ge, chases them round the ;
cage, allows them to pull him about,
drag him by the legs and roll him over I
and over, swings with them on the tra?
peze, kisses them if they allow him, aud
permits them to take every kind of liber?
ty without making any unfair use of his
superior strength. With older children
he seems to understand that he may be
more rough, aud, when he is racing about
with them, he slyly upsets a chair, and
takes the opportunity of giving them
friendly boxes on the ear. When ladies
visit him in * his large cage, which -is
suitably furnished with sofas, chairs and
table, trapeze, and all kinds of gymnastic
appliances, they have- nothing to fear}
except , from his somewhat importunate
amiabilty. He is particularly delighted
if they take him up in their arms; he
embraces them and leans his head against
their shoulders with a grateful and grati?
fied air; he is by no means willing to be
set down again.
"The Berlin Aquarium, in which he
now holds court, is rich in varieties of
the larger monkeys, and when he goes
into the monkeys' cage ho rules there;
supreme. Even the chimpanzee, who
resembles very much in his clever human
ways, an old favorite of London at the
Zoological Gardens, treats him as dis?
tinctly his-superior. The gorilla, how?
ever, appears to recognize the chimpanzee
as nearly his equal, chooses him almost
exclusively for his playmate, and bestows
friendly but rather rough caresses on
him. He is fond of getting hold of the
chimpanzee, keeping him down and roll?
ing him over on the ground. Sometimes
the monkey manages to slip from under
him, and then Pongo sprawls awkwardly
on the floor on both hands, and looks up
with an expression of accepted defeat.
He walks on the soles of his feet, leaning
at the same time on the outside of his
hands, but he turns out his toes far more
than the chimpanzee, and he carries his
head more grandly erect, this seeming to
be the mark of high social standing.
When in high spirits he has a way of
showing the tip of his red tongue, which
makes his black face look all the ; more
like that of a negro boy.
"His mode of life is as human as are
all his ways. He sleeps on a matress
rolled in a rug, and at about S o'clock in
the morning he rises in his bed, sits up;
yawns, scratches himself, and remains in
a sleepy, listless condition till he has
taken nis milk, which he drinks out of a
tumbler. He is now wide awake, and
looks about the room for something to
play with, and perhaps, if he is allowed,
to destroy; for. he is as mischievous as
any child or as any monkey. Then he
looks out of the window, claps his hands,
and for want of some moire suitable com?
panionship, begins to play with hfe keep?
er. This "man must he continually "in
attendance on him; he does not allow
himself to be left alone, for a single mo?
ment. If he finds himself alone, he ut?
ters the shrillest cries until he regains
the society of man. At 9 o'clock the
gorilla is tubbed, an operation in which
he takes the greatest delight, expressing
his approval in bass notes, which, per?
haps, it will be impolite to call grunting.
"He takes his meals at the usual Ger?
man hours; for breakfast he has sausa?
ges, preserved meat, cheese and the fa?
vorite white Berlin beer. It is extremely
funny to . see him try to hold the glass
with his fat, short fingers) while he is as?
sisting himself with his feet. He is
fond of fruit, which he eats with the
most gentlemanly deliberation, carefully
removing the stone when eating cherries
or other fruit of the kind. At 1 o'clock
the keeper's wife brings him his lunch,
and he seems to possess so punctual an
internal monitor of the time that this
should be brought that' he is always ex?
tremely impatient if it is not there to the
minute, and always goes down to the
passage to look for it when he hears the
bell ring. He begins by looking into the
glasses, and tries to steal-something out
of them, whereupon he usually has his
ears boxed, and then the meal begins,
consisting of gravy, soup, rice or vegeta?
bles boilea with meat, &c. Sometimes it
finishes up by a most welcome slice of
roast chicken; this is his great treat.
"After nis meal he wants a siesta, like
all other inhabitants of tropical climates.
After a sleep of about an hour or an
hour and a half he is ready for more
play. In the afternoon he has some
fruits, and in the evening tea or milk,
and bread and butter. He goes to bed
at 9 o'clock, lying down on his mattress
to be wrapped up in the woolen -blanket.
He alwayB. insists, however, on his keeper ,
sitting by him till he is asleep, which
soon comes to him. He prefers, however,
being allowed to sleep with the keeper,
and then he puts his arm round his
keeper's neck and lenns his head against
him. He sleeps uninterruptedly all
night. In this, way of life he. has. lived
and thriven, until he has increased in
weight some thirty-seven pounds. A
short time ago be fell ill with bronchitis.
He was a very restless and impatient in?
valid, and seemed utterly wretched and
far from amiable in temper. Many doc?
tors assembled round him every day. He
was treated with quinine and Ems water,
and a uniform, moist temperature was.
kept up in the room. Now, however{ he
has completely recovered Great anxiety
was manifested by the people of Berlin
during his illness, and more than a hun?
dred cards a day were left upon him.
"He may be seen now in the highest
state of caprice and enjoyment. He is
very much attached to his keeper, and.
has a great respect for Dr. Hermes, the
doctor of the aquarium, whom he treats
always with marked consideration, and
whose boy is One of his favorite play?
fellows. I know nothing more human
than to see him hayingan elaborate romp
with this boy, running ronnd the table'
after him, skipping along the shelves,
hiding himself under the table, upsetting
chairs, and uj^aatejy allowing himself
to be caugn^^Bf^n^g through all His
performances of walking up a ladder,
?sliding down the sides of it, and tumbling
cover head-and-heels, lying on the floor
and rapping with delight, ultimately
jumping into the trapeze alongside of his
playfellow, putting his arms round his
neck, and sitting there with his cap on
his head and a pipe in his mouth, swing?
ing backward and forward in amicable
enjoyment with the son of his doctor."?

How Birds Improve in Nest-Building.
You often will meet with the statement
in books about birds and birds'-nests, that
each species goes on, year after year and
generation after generation, building its
nest in precisely the way which has al?
ways been followed by its ancestors. It
is said that birds build their nests entire?
ly by instinct, and that no improvement
ever takes place, but that each bird se?
lects a place for its nest, and gathers the
materials, and goes through the process
of building in exactly the way which has
been followed for thousands of genera?
tions. It is also stated that young birds
know how to do all this without any in?
struction, and make their first nest as
skilfully as those old birds which have
had experience, and have raised several
broods of young. These statements are
made so often by writers upon natural
history, that it would seem as if there,
must be a good reason for them, and yet
not one of them is true. Birds do not
always go on building their nests in sim?
ilar places to those in which their ances?
tors built, but whenever better places are
offered them, they soon learn to take ad?
vantage of them; neither do they stick
to the same material for one generation
after another, ?but .whenever more suita?
ble material is placed within their reach,
they often learn how to use it, so that
their nests are. much better than.' those
built by their ancestors; neither is it
.true that they never improve the shape
of their nests, nor that the young birds
are as skilful architects as the old.
You all know that only a few hundred
years ago there was not a barn or a chim?
ney within the United States, unless,
perhaps, those singular cliff-dwelling
people in New Mexico and Arizona, of
whom we know so little, had barns and
chimneys. At any rate, we know that
on the east side of the Mississippi, at the
time when the white men discovered and
settled the country, there were no people
who knew anything of architecture.?
The barn and chimuey swallows were to
be found here then as they are to-day,
but of course they were compelled to
build their nests in hollow trees and
caves, or any other suitable places which
they were able to find. As soon as white
men spread over the country and erected
buildings, these birds, which had never
before seen a barn or a chimney, soon
discovered that these places are much
more .w?rm and dry than rot ten. trees and
damp caves, as well as better protected
from storms; and' it probably did not
take many years for the swallows to dis?
cover that snakes and birds and beasts of
prey did not dare to approach such pla?
ces. These , wise birds, then, improved
upon the habits of their ancestors, and
gave up their old savage life in the woods,
in order to share the benefits of civiliza?
tion.
It seems as natural now for a barn
swallow to make its nest in a barn, as for
a cat-bird to build in a bush or a tree;
'but it is plain that this has not always
'been the case, and that these birds have
been wise enough to change their mode
of life.
It is very certain tbat a few hundred
years ago orioles could have known noth?
ing about string or carpet-ravelings, and
must have confined themselves to such
stringy fibres as can be found in a natu?
ral state; and those orioles which build
their nests at a distance from houses,
I still make use of grass, flax, the fibres of
silt-weed, and other things which they
are able to find; but of course a much
stronger and more durable -nest can be
woven from strb. & thread and string,
and the birds have' not been slow to dis?
cover this and to act accordingly.
A few years ago Pouchet, a French'
naturalist, who was then engaged in writ?
ing a book upon natural history, wished
to nave an engraving made of the nest
of the common European house-martin.
The nests in his collection were nearly
fifty- years old, and, thinking that the
artist would be able to make a much bet?
ter picture from a new and perfect nest
than from an old one, he employed a
man to collect a number from the walls
of the houses in Paris.
Upon comparing these with the old
nests in his collection, Pouchet found
that there-had been a very great improve?
ment in -the architecture of these birds
within the last fifty years. He says that
the old nests are globular, or forming a
segment of a sphere with a very small
rounded opening, just large enough to
allow the passage of the. birds inhabiting
it; and the accounts of all the ancient
writers agree in describing this as the
form' of the. nest in their day. The .new
nest is in the form of the quarter of a
hollow semi-oval, this giving three flat
surfaces for attachment instead of one,
and affording much more room on the
floor of the nest. The opening is no
longer a round hole, but a long trans?
verse slit, between the upper edge of the
nest and the wall of the building to
which it is attached, thus allowing the
young to put their heads out and enjoy
the fresh air, without interfering with
the entrance and exit of the parents.
M. Pouchet says that, besides the advan?
tages of more room inside the nest, in?
creased facilities for access and greater
strength, it is also more secure from the
invasion of enemies, and better protected
from the entrance of cold rain, and is
thus a decided improvement upon the
old form.
Many of the naturalists who have
studied the habits of birds with the
greatest care have satisfied themselves
that young birds are not as skilful as the
old. Nearly one hundred and fifty years
ago Lerory, a French naturalist who
spent his life in studying the habits of
the wild animate of Europe, published a
book, which has lately been translated
into English, on the "Intelligence and
Pe^ec?Dility*of'AHimals.,, In this book
be says that it is- impossible tbat a con?
stant and attentive observer shouldf fail
to remark that the nests of young birds
are almost invariably ill-made and badly
situated. He also shows tbat the best
and most complicated nests are made by
those species of birds whose y^ung re?
main ? long time in the nest, and thus
have more opportunity to see how it is
made. Wilson, the ornithologist, who
spent his life in studying the habits of
bur birds, reached the same conclusion?
that there is a very perceptible inferiori?
ty In the nests of young birds.?Prof. W.
K. Brooks, St. Nicholas for August. .

The Compost Heap.
In the first place let us have a clear
understanding of what a compost is. The
word literally signifies "a putting togeth?
er," and no word could better express the
idea. A compost is a compounding- of
such elements of plant food as will best
serve to render land fertile. A good cook
brings his food on to the table so com?
pounded with fat and lean, so seasoned
with salt and pepper, and so prepared for
easy assimilation that the very smell
stimulates the appetite and the stomach
finds no trouble in its digestion. What
the cook does for the food of man the
farmer should do for the food of his
plants. Compost such elements of nutri?
tion as will best nourish vegetation, and
let them lie together aud cook during the
warm weather, as they will by the heat gen?
erated internally by oxidation, favored by
the genial condition of the air. The com?
post heap may be likened to a loaf of bread,
in which a little leaven has leavened the
whole lump, converting by a chemical
process unpalatable dough into sweet
food.? ?-.
The simplest form of vegetation re?
quires at least a dozen elements for its
perfect development. Hence a compost
properly prepared is the true idea of
plant food. It is nonsense to suppose
that because the potato is a potash plant
it can live on potash alone. All plants
and animals must die unless furnished
with food compounded of a dozen or more
elements. Not that every fertilizer must
be such a compound, for many, generally
most, of the elements of plant food
abound in the soil and air, and it may
only be necessary to supply those that are
lacking in order to render a soil fertile.
This leads us to inquire of what the
compost heaps should be made. The
answer to this question must depend
somewhat on the condition of the soil
and the nature of the crop to which it is
applied. If the soil is naturally full of
vegetable matter and inclined to be cold,
it would be folly to make muck the basis
of the compost heap. Sand or sandy
foam would be much preferable. On
the other hand, if the compo.?t is to be
applied to sandy soil, muck is just the
thing for its basis. In like manner if the
compost is to be used for a nitrogenous
crop, cabbages for instance, ammonia in
some form should be a prominent com?
ponent part. In general it may be said
that phosphate of lime, ammonia and
potash are the constituents most likely
tobe found wanting in our long culti?
vated fields, and most essential to plant
growth. These therefore should enter
largely into the compost heap. Other
constituents should be added as the soil
demand,"or opportunity is furnished to
supply them. Among these we may
mention chloride of sodium, (common
salt) and sulphuric acid, which can most
economically be applied in the form of
sulphate of lime, (plaster.). All the in?
organic elements of vegetation may be
found in ashes. We therefore put upon
pur compost all the ashes, leached or
unleached, upon, which we can lay our
hands.
These constituents of the compost
placed in juxtaposition and being mixed
and covered with some absorbent, such
as muck, earth, or leaf mould, heat up by
chemical action, are-decomposed and re
composed?in other words are cooked,
forming new compounds which are read?
ily assimilated by plants. The muck
and leaf mould are also hastened in their
decomposition by the influences of the
decomposing mass, the whole forms a
food which plants devour greedily.
But 'where shall we get the phosphate
of lime, the ammonia, and other constit?
uents of the compost heap ?' is the next
very proper question of the farmer.?
Bones are the great resource for the phos?
phate of lime. These are lying around
every slaughter house, every tanyard and
almost every farm in the country, dried
by the sun and air, and consequently
slowly decaying. Let them be gathered
and broken up by a sledge hammer if
there is no mill ..convenient for grinding
them; or they be^put into large hogsheads
?with alternate layers of wood ashes and
kept constantly moist for a few months
during warm weather, when they will be
found sufficiently softened to be cut with
a sharp spade. In this condition put
into'a fermenting compost they will fur?
ther disintegrate and add greatly to the
value of the pile.
The next constituent of the compost
heap is ammonia, and this may be found
in barnyard manure, night soil, dead
leaves, and dead animals of all kinds,
the refuse of the tannery, the wooden or
paper mill, the slaughter house, the cess?
pool, and divers other places too numer?
ous to be mentioned. Precious as ammo?
nia is, there is probably no substance
which is more wasted. It is going off to
the sea in our sewers by thousands of
tons each day. The rivers which pass
our manufacturing establishments and
dense villages are full of it, so much so
as to be sources of miasma during the
warm and dry months. There is no lack
of ammonia, if farmers will only keep a
vigilant eye for it. In fact, they may
shut their eyes and their noses will tell
where ammonia abounds. - Ten chances
to one they can smell it ascending from
their horse-stables, barn-yards, privies,
and cesspools, to be wafted over others'
lands, upon which it will descend with
the dews and rains. Our advice to farm?
ers is to look sharp for ammonia on their
own places first, and when they have ex?
hausted this resource go to the village,
where night soil will be given them for
the hauling, or to the woollen factory,
where waste shoddy, or to the paper mill,
where the waste sizing,can be had; both
these articles abounding with ammonia,
and both well calculated to heat up the
compost heap and set the whole in fer?
mentation. Living near a village, as we
do, onr great resource for ammonia is
night soil, and there can be nothing bet?
ter. Dead animals is another great re?
source; and it is wonderful what an
amount of these a village will furnish if
the farmer will only let it be known that
he has a golgotha where they may be
buried. There is no trouble in finding
ammonia if we only search for it.
Potash is not so easily found. When
we could b-iy ?"ood ashes for ten cents a
bushel these furnished an abundant sup?
ply, but now they are scarce at twice and
.thrice the price. Wherever unleached
hashes can be obtained, for twenty-five
cents per bushel, and the leached at half
this sum, the farmer can j>ut no better
material in his compost. If placed, how?
ever, in direct contact with ammoniacal
compounds their tendency is to set the
ammonia free, and it must be absorbed
by soil or some other covering of the
compost or there is great waste. In the
Eresent dearth of wood ashes Providence
as furnished another resource for potash
in the mines of Germany.?Alexander

A Talk with Mr. Tilden.
To a reporter of the New York World
who interviewed Mr. Tilden on Monday
last, just before his departure for Europe,
the Ex-Governor talked very freely. In
regard to the Electoral Commission he
said that he had never had any real con?
fidence in the arbitration of a question
where there was so much at stake by a
body of that kind. That settlement, he
said, involved not only the Presidency
but all the patronage and power of the
Federal Administration, together with
all the schemes, plans and jobs connected
with it. The Republican party and the
men who had managed it in the past were
too anxious to retain the Administration
to yield any point in an arbitration. The
result of the Electoral Commission, there?
fore, was what might have been expected,
considering the power and influences
brought to bear upon the political major?
ity of that body as finally constituted.
He furthermore never liked the scheme
as a matter of principle, believing that
the true direction of a Democratic appeal
was not away from 369 representatives of
the people "towards fifteen individuals,
and still less from fifteen individuals to?
wards one to be selected necessarily with
a large element of chance, not to say of
trick and device. He thought there
should rather have been an appeal from
the 369 representatives to the 8,000,000
of voters through a new election, He
was distrustful of the secrecy, celerity
and improvidence with which the ar?
rangement was carried through and ush?
ered into being. But the proposition
appealed to the hopes of the business
classes, which were anxious above all
things for a settlement of almost any
kiud, at almost any price, and as it was
presented by the unanimous report of
the Joint Committee, it became the rep?
resentative, and the only representative
of the public desire for peace. The
events which are now attracting so much
public attention in New Orleans, and the
disclosures which, perhaps, may follow,
Mr. Tilden seemed: to consider only as
the logical outcome of the revolutionary
acts of last fall and winter. "In a gov?
ernment like burs," he said, "such fraud?
ulent practices as were reported from
New Orleans last November sooner or
later must come to the light, and the
guilty parties with their practices must
be made known. It was so with the
frauds in New York; it has been the
case to a certain extent in Washington,
and a like result will follow in New Or?
leans. It is against the natural course
of events that deeds of this kind should
ultimately fail of being brought to light
in all their enormities." All this was
said with philosophic calmness and with?
out any heat whatever. In regard to his
own political future Mr. Tilden had noth?
ing to say except that he could not see
any possible contingency which could
induce him to be a candidate for, or to
seek an election to, a seat in the United
States Senate.
Budding Fruit-Trecs.
There are two well-established methods
now in very geueral use among experts
in fruit culture, for changing or multi?
plying varieties of the same class on the
same tree, and both of these are simple
and inexpensive. The first of these is
known as grafting, and is only practiced
on larger trees, and always in the spring
before the foliage is developed. The
other method, which is much more rapid,
and quite as sure when properly done, is
budding, and the time for doing this ex?
tends from the middle of July until the
first of September. Whenever the bark
separates easily from the wood, the buds
may be set, with fair chances of success.
The outfit for budding consists of some
narrow strips of bass matting, such as
comes on the inside of coffee-bags, and a
pocket-knife with a single blade, with a
small piece of ivory fastened in the end
of the handle. When the incision is
made the ivory is used to raise the bark
up on either side, so that the bud may
be pressed into place. The buds to be
inserted should be cut from young,
healthy trees, and always of the present
year's growth, those that are most ma?
tured being selected. The leaves may
then be clipped off the branch of buds,
leaving say half an inch of the leaf stalk
attached to the bud. Then with a keen
edged knife cut off each bud separately
from a half to three-quarters of an inch
in length, leaving a thin slice of wood
back of the eye or bud. These should
be kept moist and protected from the sun
or air until set; exposure even for a short
time may prove fatal.
When the whole top or any part of it
is to be budded over, select the spot for
each bud in a smooth part of the branch,
not too large, say from one to two inches
I in diameter. On this part make an in?
cision through the bark in the form of
the capital letter T, and raise or separate
the bark from the wood with the ivory on
the handle of the knife. The bud may
then be pressed into place, cutting off
square the portion that goes above the
cross incision. Then with a strip of the
bass matting wrap firmly around the
branch above and below the eye. fasten?
ing the end of the strip by a slip knot.
This completes the operation, which can
be successfully done even by a novice in
less time than it takes to describe it.?

The Public Hcadsmau of Berlin.
One cf the humbler Paris quarters has
lately been deprived by death of an old
man whose life till now has always been
shrouded in deepest mystery to his sim?
ple neighbors. He passed under the
name of Hans Freich, and came from
Berlin years ago. His habits were regu?
lar and methodical, he lived well but iso?
lated, and took particular pains to avoid
any stray German that might cross his
path. When he died the old man's care?
fully guarded secret became public.
Hens Freich had been the public heads?
man of Berlin. Headsman in the true
significance of the word, not a mere me?
chanic puller of cords and toucher of
springs, like Sanson or Koch ; for during
the period he executed the hautes ceuvres
of the Prussian capital, ending in 1840,
the axe and not the guillotine was em?
ployed for the decapitation of criminals.
Hans Freich was an artist, for not only
could he remove bis subject's bead at a ei n- j
gle blow, but he knew and respected that
subject's rights and preferences. He did
not affect to Gothic masquerade of black
doublet and red hose; he wore long,
black silk stockings, short, close-fitting
pantaloons of black velvet, a black coat
and black gloves. He would not touch
the handle of his axe with his bare palm;
not all the gold in Prussia could have in?
duced him to such a flagrant breach of
scaffold etiquette. Friech had no friends
and too many acquaintances. People all
knew him and shrank from him. To
enable him to leave the hateful town he
worked busily till he had filled one of his
long, black silk stocking with crown
pieces, and on counting them found that
no bad enough money to assure his com?
fort for the remainder of his life. That
very day he resigned his office and set
out for Paris, where he found quiet and
unconcern, where the children did not
point him out with tiny fingers to each
other, or the women who came upon him
shrink back in speechless horror.
? A Frenchman, having heard the
word press made use of to signify persua?
sion, as "Press that gentleman to take
something to eat," took occasion at a
party to use a term which he thought
Bynonomous, and begged a friend to
squeeze a young lady to sing.
? They were sitting together aud he
was arduously thinking what to say when
finally he burst out in this manner: |'In
this land of noble achievement and un?
dying glory, why is it that women do not
come more to the front and climb the
ladder of fame ?" "I suppose," said she,
tying knots in her handkerchief, "it's on
account of their pull-backs."
The Presbyterians.
On Tuesday what is known as the Pan
Presbyterian Council closed its sessions
at Edinburgh. Doubtless, the fruitful
themes of religious education, the proper
training of the young, the means of re?
sisting the open and insidious assaults of
infidelity, and the true remedies for the
prevalent materialism of the time, re?
ceived due treatment from the repre?
sentatives of this conservative church.
Never before did these subjects deserve
more serious attention from the orthodox
than at present, for the church is now
called on to use all its abilities to main?
tain its hold on the consciences of men,
and to save from falling away the youth
who are surrounded by the seductions of
the infidelity of the day.
The Presbyterian communion is one of
the ablest bodies of protestantism. It is
planted in Calvinism, and, indeed, what
we know as modern Presbyterianism
dates from John Calvin, the severe stu?
dent and logical writer who left an im?
press on theology comparable only with,
that stamped upon it by St. Paul himself.
Almost a recluse, of weak bodily consti?
tution, but of a firm will and clear and
incisive intellect, John Calvin must
always hold a place among the great
moulders of the Christian faith. The
work he did had a powerful adjutant in
the person of John Knox, whose teach?
ings have indellibly colored the Scotch
character, and in Scotland now' we see
the fountain head of Presbyterianism,
while in Calvin's own country in Switz?
erland it presents a far less imposing
front. The doctrines of Calvin have
nowhere exerted more influence than in
this country. From the time of the Pur?
itan theocracy to the present, they have
governed the religious belief of millions
of our people. The standards adopted
by the famous Westminster Assembly in
1643 rrremld the faith of a large part of
Protestantism, and they have been little
affected by the theological turmoil of more
than two centuries.
The statistics of the Presbyterian de?
nomination in all its claimed branches
show a membership of over twenty-six
millions. From these figures we get
some conception of the importance of the
council which on Tuesday closed its ses?
sions at Edinburgh. That conference,
participated in by some of the most dis?
tinguished Presbyterian divines of this
country, succeeding the council held in
London two years ago, was intended to
consolidate the forces of the denomina?
tion, and to unite them in one great army
enlisted for the war against modern
skepticism.
The census of the Presbyterians of the
United States shows them to number
over a million, with 8,539 church edifices,
providing sittings for over three millions
of people. They come next to the Meth?
odists and Baptists jn the number of
their churches, and in the matter of ma?
terial wealth only the Methodists are
ahead of them ; while the Boman Catho?
lics who stand third in that order, are
behind them by over eight millions of
dollars.?N. Y. Sun.
A Man Survives the Breaking of His
Neck Sixteen Hours.
On Saturday forenoon a singular aud
fatal accident occurred in the second
.ward of this city, the particulars of which
arc as follow : Mr. John Miller, residing
on the corner of Park and John streets,
was engaged in picking cherries on the
premises of a neighbor named Pfohl.
While so engaged, and about 10 o'clock,
he accidentally fell from the tree to the
ground a fall not over ten feet. He
struck on his head and shoulders, and
was subsequently taken up in an insensi?
ble condition and conveyed to his resi?
dence, where Dr. Whedon was summoned
to attend him. Dr. Whedon found his
patient speechless and semi-unconscious.
An examination revealed the fact that
the man's neck was broken just at the
base of the skull. Securing assistance,
the patient's head, which was thrown
backward, was brought into its proper
position, when it was discovered that
Miller was able to talk. An apparatus
consisting of bands and weights was ar?
ranged and applied, to hold his head in
position. The singularity of the accident
and its results caused several physicians
to visit Miller during the afternoon.
Though everything was done that medi?
cal knowledge could devise, Miller con?
tinued to sink' until Sunday morning
about ^o'clock, when death ensued. The
accident occurred about 10 o'clock Sat?
urday forenoon. It will be seen that
Miller survived the breaking of his neck
sixteen hours. Previous to bis death
Miller's right side became paralyzed,
after which he sank rapidly. The de?
ceased was about fifty years of age. This
afternoon at 4 o'clock a post mortem ex?
amination of the body will be held by
several physicians, the majority of whom
are deeply interested in this singular case,
which demonstrated that the dislocation
of the human neck is not necessarily
immediately fatal.?Syracuse, N. Y.

A Bloody Honeymoon.
The following from the Bapides (La.)
Gazelte, gives an account of a shocking
tragedy, in which a young wife lost her
husband, father and brother in a day,
when all ought to have been joy and hap?
piness :
Calvin Bass, of Hinerton, Bapides Par?
ish, was enamored of the daughter of
Jacob Gunter, and persuaded her to elope
with him. The couple went straightway
to the residence of Parson Duff, a Baptist
minister residing in Calcasieu Parish,
who united them in the holy bond of
wedlock. With a sense of having done
what was honorable and right, Bass re?
turned with his wife to the neighborhood
of her home, and put up at the house of
Role Weatherford. Having learned the
whereabouts of the bride, Jacob Gunter,
her father, and David Gunter, her broth?
er, armed themselves, and started forth
on Saturday last. On arriving at the
spot where the honeymoon was to have
been passed, David Gunter, without a
word, shot his new made brother-in-law.
Bass staggered, but before falling, drew a
pistol and shot his father-in-law. There?
upon the brother-in-law who was stand?
ing set upon the brother-in-law who was
wounded, and ended his life at once and
for all with a knife. David Gunter man?
aged to get his wounded father home.
Constable Thomas Neal made the next
move by organizing a posse and starting
otfl to arrest David. When he saw them
coming David started to run, and the
posse to stop him fired upon him and
brought him down. Dr. W. Hobby, who
was called in, thinks the chances for his
father are slim. This is a very sad and
singular catastrophe, and the predica?
ment of the young lady is calculated to
excite the keenest sympathy.
? Drayton Strator, who shot a man in
Sumter about two years ago, and who has
ever since evaded justice, was captured
near Field's Bridge and lodged in jail at
Darlington on Monday, 9th inst.
? "Mother, why does pa call you
honey?" "Because, my dear, he loves
me.". "No, ma, that isn't it." "What is
it, then ?" "I know." "Well, what is
it?" "Why it's because you have so
much comb in your head, that's why."
? At a Parisian dinner party a charm?
ing hostess privately apologized for the
revelations of the low corsage worn by
one of the ladies present. The general
responded gayly: "Oh, never mind,
madame. We soldiers have often seen j
ladies dressed in that style?in Africa.''j

? A pastor delivering a sermon was
greatly disturbed by the "Amens," "Glo?
ry hallelujahs," etc., of an old man whose
piety was manifested to'the discomfort of
the pastor and people. The preacher
asked a brother deacon to request the
"old man" to discontinue, which he did,
and not another word was heard. "Tell
us how you managed to hush him up so'
completely," inquired the pastor; "what
did you say to him ?" "Oh, I only asked
him to subscribe a dollar for foreign mis?
sions?that's all," was the reply.

for preserv

\Fadedorgray
Sliair is soon
restored to its
original color, with the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always,
cored by its use. Nothing can re?
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed.. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
Free from those deleterious sub?
stances which make some prepara?
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir?
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cam?
bric, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
grateful perfume.
