It Wan at a Meeting In Indianapolie Tliat the Voice of the Great Singer Was First Heard by the Stirring Evangelist—Their First Work. It was at Indianapolis in 1870 that these two men first made each other's acquaintance. Mr. Moody was already displaying that zeal in evangelistic work which subsequently made him famous, though then his efforts and his reputa tion were confined largely to Chicago. Mr. Sankey’s home was in Newcastle, Pa., where he was then serving ok an in ternal revenue officer. His father was a banker and active in politics and held under Lincoln's appointment the impor tant position of collector of inland rev enue for four large couuties in western Pennsylvania. Young Houkey was then a Christian, having been converted s number of years before daring a Metlio (list revival, and his talent of song had already begun to bo used for his Master. Coming to Indianapolis to attend as a delegate from Newcastle the national convention of the Young Men's Christian association, Mr. Sankey attended one morning a 0 o'clock prayer meeting, held in the basement of the First Baptist chnrch, led by Mr. Moody. The singing dragged, and Mr. Sankey, at the sugges tion of a minister who was seated besidi hipi, started up the familiar hymn, “There is a fountain filled with blood.” It went well and was followed by other songs eqnally snccessfal, and Mr. Moody became so interested that he looked about to see whence the new impetus In tinging came. After the meeting closed, with eharucteristic quickness of deci sion, Mr. Moody, Imrdly waiting for an introduction, said to Mr. Sankey: “You’re the man I have been looking for for the last eight years. Come and lunch with me.” Tho invitation was accepted, and later in the day the two men got together, and the subject of a future combiuatiou of forces was talked over in downright earnest. Mr. Moody pressed upon Mr. Sankey the duty of at once joining him in Chicago, but in Sankey's mind there were some prac tical objections arising from his busi ness and family connections. “I am a government officer," he said to Mr. Moody, “and may find it difficult to get released.” “There is a better govern ment to serve than this,” was the re ply that flashed instantly out. Bnt, persuasive as Mr. Moody was, he did not carry his point then and there. Mr. Sankey took several mantha in which to consider the matter. That very afternoon, however, the first Moody and Sankey public meeting was held, with no advertisement except the singing as led by Mr. Moody’s newly found friend. It was an outdoor gather ing, and the moases were there. Mr. Moody bronght out a box from a store so a favorably located street comer, mounted it, and there a short but fer vent service of preaching and song was held. At the close of this open air meet ing the two evangelists headed a pro cession for the Academy of Music, where the convention meetings were held, sing ing as they marched with the crowd in- to the Academy of Music, the convention having adjourned , the discussion ot “How to Reach the Masses" and gone to supper. When the delegatee got back to the academy building, they found it nearly half full of the very "lapsed masse*” about whom they had been discussing. Mr. Moody cut short hit second address, dismissed the audi ence and went out with Mr. Sunkey to get something to eat. Mr. Sankey was greatly impressed with these two meet ings and said to Mr. Moody, "You are reaching the masses while other people are talking about them.” After the convention was over Mr. Sankey went back to Newcastle and talked the queation over with his wife and family. He did not see his duty clearly all at once, but Mr. Moody kept writing for him to come to Chicago and at laet persuaded him to go out for a week to look the ground over. Arriving in Chicago in the early morning, he went first to Mr. Moody’s house, reaching there just as family prayers were being held. Almost before Mr. Moody intro- dneed him to his family he asked him to sing a hymn and thus contribute his part toward the informal service of praise. Then the two men went out into the etreeta of the city visiting the sick and unfortunate. That day must have been a notable one in the personal history of the two men, who afterward commanded the eager attention of great audiences on both sides of the sea. On this occasion, as two ordinary missionaries, they went about from house to house, singing and reading the Bible and speaking the word of cheer and hope wherever it was needed. This waa their first day’s labor together. Evening meetings were held during the week in the Illinois street church, of which Mr. Moody was the head and leader. On Sunday a large meeting was held In Farwell hall, and as the organist hap pened to be absent Mr. Sankey had to sing without instrumental accompani ment, not having even a am all cabinet organ there. The effect of the service upon the people there was so marked that Mr. Moody turned to the singer and said, "You aee I waa right.” There were that night not leas than 100 inquiries. The earnest preaching and oonaecrated song had gone home to many a heart.

With International arbitration we confess to having comparatively little sympathy. If nations mean to fight, nothing will prevent their so doing, and agreements to arbitrate will be of very little service. The suggestion of an agreement between England and the United States to establish a permanent machinery for regulating their disputes is, however, quite different. Nations in whom the same racial characteristics are to be found, who are influenced by the same ideas, who talk the same lan guage, read the same books and possess the same political traditions, are capable of making an agreement to settle dis putes by arbitration a reality. Again, an agreement not to fight till the question in dispute has been referred to a body exercising the functions of a court of law is n step in the direction of that alliance between the United States and England which, we trust and be liove, is the destiny of the two countries. If w* begin by an acknowledgment that we are not in the position of foreign powers—i. e., liable to war at any mo ment—we may soon rise to a definite race alliance, and lastly to that declara tion of acommon citizenship which wonld prevent any Englishman from being an alien-in America or any American being an alien in England and wonld heal the breacli in the unity of the race caused by the folly of George III and his ministers. —London Spectator. San* Nnagestlona S'rum lb* lna*M. L’Anti-Alieniste is the title of a re markable and amusing little sheet writ ten and produced by the patients—they wonld, no doubt, strongly object to be ing called lunatici—of the great Bicetre asylum. Its editor in chief is one Charles Etlinger. Its circulation is limited, 40 copies being as large an edition as can be produced by the gelatine process. Politics and religion find no place in it, but it excels in satire, directed mainly against the doctors. Its prose is not one whit more incoher ent than that of the boulevards. Seriom- discussions are not tabooed. Apropos of a communication by Dr. Charles Fare to th* Society of Biology relative to the transmission of madness from men to animals, Etlinger in a recent nnrnber inveighs against the promiscuonsnees in asylnms which allows of the exchange of all sorts of madness between man and man. He demands to know what amount of reason it is necessary to pos sess to resist n long stay in an aaylnm like Bicetre, where the iron cages con verge toward a common center and where the raving madmen disturb their mors peaceful neighbors.—London Newt Uldeon* A tlv*rU*«meut*.

Then they may purchase a sample in despair, may like it and go on nsing it. This may be the theory of frantic and hideous advertisements, but on the whole it might seem more likely to work its own destruction. "Whatever I buy I will not buy that,” one can con ceive the citixcn remarking and looking out for a lees obstmsive article. But if advertising did not pay people would not advertise.—London Saturday Re view. Very Fine Handiwork. Dr. Heylin, in his “Life of King Charles," records that during the reign of Queen Elizabeth “there was one who wrote the Ten Commandments, thecreed, the pater noeter, the queeu's name, and the prayer of onr Lord within tho com pass of a penny and gave her majesty a pair of spectacle* of such an artificial making that by the help thereof she did plainly and distinctly discern every let ter." A somewhat similar feat was that “rare piece of work bronght to pass by Peter Bales, an Englishman, who also exhibited before her majesty the entire i Bible written In a book, containing as many leaves as a full sized edition, bnt fitting into a walnut.”—Boston Com monwealth.

Oecuyatlen Did Not Kutltl* Him to Free Seat* at the Theater. He was what Steve Rowan wonld call “a shRm bit av a tnr-rkey,” and be stood near the box office of the Columbia, first looking at hi* laat half dollar clutched in a grimy palm and then shooting an occasional glance at the main door, through which the strains of the opening overture could at times be heard. „ His clothea were loud enough to serve a* a World's fair hotel fire alarm, and the checks were too large to be honored by anything smaller than a first national They were of the latest Kerry cut and hadn't been long enough in this country to kill the smell of the bog. He wanted to see the performance, and be hated to part with hi* money, so be waited and got into an argument with himeelf. First he thought he would, and then he guessed he wouldn’t, and while bo thus hesitated a trim little woman tripped acrosa tbe foyer. She sailed along like a clipper ship with a free wind and port in sight There was a distinctive air of the "profeah” about her, and she carried her nerve in the outside pocket of an Eton jacket He watched her and lis tened with astonishment when she opened her face and addressed the man in the box office. "Hello, Harry r “Howdy, Mag.” “Gimme two seats, will yer, Hairy?” "Are you working?" “Bure. Me and Jess is doin a turn at the Olymp’.” The checks for seats were handed ont, and Ma^ calling Jess the two went in side, while the “shlim bit nva tnr-rkey" moved s peg or two closer to the box of fice. Another form appeared in the door way. Its hair was parted in the middle, and its huzzsasv hat reposed on the bock of its head. Its tronaers were freshly creased and sharp enough to pare corns It shuffled up to the box office much aft er the manner of a crawfish in a net. and the little Irishman could scarcely prevent himself from laying violent band on it and massing it up. In a low tragedian voice it r-.id: "Ah, there, Harry.” “Hello, Fulrtaff, old boy." “Favor me with two, old fellow?" “Are yon working?” “Well, 1 should say I am." “Where?” "Me’a Ed's doing a Henry Irving bur lesque at ther Park.” Again two pasteboard checks were handed out, and by thii time the “tur key" on tho outside was becoming fran tic. It was coming easy for everybody but himself, and he resolved to hazard a chance and keep his half dollar. He took » fresh bite of plug, gave his trousers an extra hitch and approached the window on tiptoe. He peered cautiously around the edge of the narrow opening. Harry was still there, checking up the house. He hesitated only for a moment, and then he blurted out: “Hilloo, Har-ry, ould bye." “How are you, sir?” “Oi’m wur-r-kin." "Are you, my friend?" “Yis.” “Where?” “Shtock yar-rds." And when the doorkeeper was through with him and tbe patrol wagon had gathered him in he sadly wondered at the eternal unfitness of things and wh) all men are not born equal.—Cbicagi Mail. ________ The Can.* of Waterspout.. A waterspout is a meteorological phi nomenon of peculiar character, which is occasionally observed on land, but usu ally occurs at sea. It consists of a cone shaped pillar of condensed vapor, wliicb descends, with the apex downward, from a dense cloud and at sea attracts a somewhat similar cone in a reversed tion from the surface of the water, two may not inaptly be compared to a gigantic hourglass. The cause of this phenomenon is supposed to be the gyratory movement of the air with sneb swiftness as to produce a vacuum in the axis of rotation, and the contact of the lower extremity of such an axis with water would effect the elevation of a column of tiie latter to a considerable height. The mast probable solution of the phenomenon is that waterspouts originate in adjacent strata of air of dif ferent temperatures, running in oppo site directions in the npper regions of the atmosphere They condense the vapor and give it a whirling motion, so that it descends tapering to the sea below and causes the surface of the water to ascend la a pointed spiral till it joios that from ibov*.—Brooklyn Eagle. InSI* For th* Indian.. A Madras native gentleman was once asked by Lord Robert* what he thought of “India for the Indians.” He replied: 'Go to the zoological garden* and open *11 the cages. You will then see what would be the end of India for the In- lians. There wonld be a grand fight among all the animals, with the result that the tiger wonld walk over the dead bodiea of the rest.” On being asked whom he meant by the tiger, he replied. "The Mohammedan from the north.” The moral of this allegory of my friend, who was certainly one of the most enlightened native gentlemen ( have ever 'met with, was that India could not bo left to herself, and that a supreme power was necessary to hold together the varied and various races.— London Spectator.
