Jtev. Lydia SexiOD died ai the age of I
95 at the home of her son in Seattle, j
Wash., a week^ago. Mrs. Sexton was
born on April 12, 1799, in Sussex
county, New Jersey, and preached for
fifty years of her long life. She was a
cousin of Bishop Matthew Simpson
Her grandfather was Marquis Antbouy
Cozat, famous io the early history of the
colonies. He got a grant of land which j
included the whole Mississippi vailey j
from the Gulf to its source. When the j
territory was ceded to the United j
States in 1803, the marquis, who was j

The church built of coral is one of the
curiosities of the Isle of Mahe, one of
the Seyschellen Islands in the Indian
ocean. The Scyschelles Islands, which
are supposed by many to be the site of
the Eden of the Old Testament, form
an archipeligo of 114 Islands and are
situated about 1,400 miles east of Aden
and 1,000 miles from Zanzibar. They
rise steeply out of the sea, culminating j
in the Isle Ma*be, which is about 3,000 ;
feet above the level of the ocean, and is I
nearly the center of the group. Ail j
these islands are of coral growth. The !
houses are built of a species of massive |
coral hewn into square blocks, which j
glisten like white marble and show
themselves to the utmost advantage in i
the various tinted green of the thick ;
tropical palms, whose immense fern- j
like leaves give pleasant and much ;
needed shade. These palms grow as I
high as 100 feet and more, overtopping j
both the houses and the coral built
church. They line the seashore aud
cover the mountains/forming in many j
places extensive forests.

For Contempt of Court.
Tbe stories of early Australian judges
are numerous and incredible, say? the
Pittsburg Dispatch- The following inci?
dent, which is vouched as a fact, is cf
a judge who had a very lofty idea of
his own legal capacity, and was, at the ??.
same time, anxious to sustain the dignity j
of his court. A"shooliog case'' came!
before bim. There was no direct;
evidence as to the perpetrator of the
murder, but the individual arrested was |
well known and indeed, confessed the
deed.
Whe-? brought into court the judge j
cautioned the prisoner that he must
remember his rights as a free citizen,
and that, above all things he must not
interrupt the proceedings of the court.
After tbis friendly warning the judge
proceeded to state that he, the prisoner
was accused of having, on such a date
shot the deceased.
Upon this tbe prisoner broke in, "well,
and so I did."
The judge was aoDoyed at the inter?
ruption.
"Hold your tongue sir!" he exclaimed
"Haven't I told you not to commit
yourself nor interrupt me? I shall com
mit you for contempt of court if you do
so again!" he added sternly.
He then repeated the accusation, upon
which the prisoner broke io.
"I have told ye afore thrt I
killed-"
The judge's indignation was intense
at this second interruption and deman?
ded : "Mr. Sheiff what is your evid?
ence V
"? have nothing but circumstantial
evidence, your honor, and the piisonor's
own confession *'
"Then," said the jud?re "I discharge
rhe prisoner on this accusation, bu*
commit, him for contempt, of court."
