A TOUGH CASE.-In Arkansas, Elder Knapp, while baptizing converts at a re? vival meeting, advanced with a wiry, sharp eyed old chap, into tho water. He asked the usual question, whether there was any reason why the ordinance of baptism should not be administered. After a pause, a tall, -powerful looking chap, with an eyo liko a blaze, who was leaning on a long rifle and Suietly looking on, remarked: "Elder, I on't want to interfere in this yero busiuess any, but I want to say tbot is an old sin? ner you have got bold of, and I know that one dip won't do bim any good. If you want to get the sin out of bim you'll bave to anchor him ont in deep water over night" -o A VALUABLE DISOOVEHY.-According to the Spectator, a treasure of priceless val no has been found among the Btores of the India House. Oriental scholars all urer the world will find their blood quicken at tho news that the library of Timonr, collected in the course of hie conquests, has been discovered. "Among other treasures aro documents of extraordinary value connected j with the biography of Mohammed." Tho j discovery of this chest may probably cause a large part of Eastern history to be rewrit? ten. --o ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERY.-A party of the royal engineers, who have been working for | subterranean vaults and.dungeons in Guild? ford Castle, England, bavo succeeded in uncovering ono dungeon sixty by fifty-seven feet in extent, and niue to fifteen feet high capable of holding GOO persons. Six moro rooms are supposed to exist. The old re? cords of Guildford tell of horrible deeds committed there by cruel and barbarous kings. At one time, not less than GOO persons were tortured and killed in a day or two. An immense Fenian meeting was bold in New York on tho evening of tho 15th. Mayor Hall presided, and eminent orators delivered addresses. Prejudices aro like rats, and a man's mind like a trap; they get in easily, and then per? haps can't got out at all. jpABKER'S BREECH-LOADING DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOTGUN The latest, beet and cheapest made.
