Zion's Herald has the following tonio criticism upon a criticism of "A huge experiment" Is tho New York Churchman's very courteous way of putting the Methodist problem.

To a sect dealing so largely in historic perspective and boasting of apostolic snccession, while yet remaining as the conservative fly on the coach wheel of modern religious progress, the sizo of tne experiment Is not a little annoying. The grapes are despised only because tliey grow so Llgh as to be out of tho roach of p9ople busying themselves with a ritual copiod largely from heathen and papal Rome and attitudinizing in tho Pope's old clothes. The Watchman emphasizes the failure of the agnostic Ingersoll to Impress tho late Republican convention and the party: Of course the convention, as such, had nothing to do with lngersoll's fiasco. Those who were responsible for this thing must have hung their heads in mortification at what their folly had enacted yet it was too lato repair the deed. Now we may hope that ono Impression certainly will go over this brond land as the result of this scene and that impression in the luterest of decency and truth.

It is Bafe to say at least that Colonel Ingersoll will not soon be called on for another speech at a great nomluatlon gathering. A PECULIAR PEOPLE. The Inhabitants of Salonika Jews at Heart, bat Tarliu to the World. In these days it is somewhat difficult to find anywhere peculiar people who are not public property: about tho Mormons of America and the savagos of Central Africa wo know as much, if not more, than we know about oursolvos; so that it was with considerable satisfaction that I came across a peculiar people who in many respects out Mormon MorinanB and have customs as quaint as any to bo fouud In Central Africa. Moreover, they live In Europe, lu the ancient City of Salonika, and come of the most ancient stock iu the world, namely tho Hebrew; they aro bound together by ties that none darebroak: they are a double faced race, a race with two distinct rollglous, a race whloh leads two distinct lives, professing openly to be followers of Mahomed, whllo In private they profess a religion of their own, accepting the old Hebrew traditions, yet believing In the first advent of their own Messiah and living in daily expectation of his second coming.

The Turks call them Dunmees, or renegades, their Jewish brethren call them hypocrites, whllo they call thomselves Malmoenlm, or true believers. For tho sake of simplicity we will call them Dun mehs, and we may take it for granted that they are disliked by both their would be coreligionists and in consequence they have been compelled to exercise a secrecy In their acts and deeds, a fact which has rendered them a mysterious people in the midst of a busy mercantile world. During a recent stay at Salonika I sot myself tho task of Investigating this people. Salouika may bo termed a Now Jerusalem, as thero are no less than 70,000 of the seed of Abraham within its walls, almo3t all the business of the place Is carried on by thom; tho quaysjare gay with the In their quaint costumes, the men with their long robes lined with fur over a tuula of stripped cotton or silk, while the women are decked iu the gayest color possible, and adorn their heads with caps of greon or red, closely bound over their foreheads and hanging down behind In a thick trail embroidered with gold Inroad and terminating in a fringe of gold, whllo around their necks hangs strings of pearls aud other Jewels. Theso Jews of Salonika are perhaps the most fervid adherents of the quaint rabbinical' doctrine to bo found any whore nowadays.

During the days before tho Passover you may see Jewish women at the tombs outsldo the walls in their long red cloaks and white mantloB around tholr shoulders, wailing ovor their dead turbaned rabbis stand at the gate of Kora nitlla to conduct faintles, for a consideration to the graves of thoir relatives, thore to excite them to frenzy by reading portions of scriptures, and finally to drive them home again like shsep wheu the ceremony is over, with lacerated arms ami faces. uttering bitter walls. Their cemetery the Jews call tho house of the living; for the dead thoy look upon as alive, aud passing the first eleven months after their departure in Gehenna, where thoy can in tercedo for the living; consequently during this period the death walls aro continued, which are in point fact in many cases more Intercessory than the outcome of genuino grief. If a rabbi of dis tinction dies, you see Jewish women rush forward to thrust letters into his hand for delivery to deported friends as he Is carried on tho bier to the house of the living. On the Sabbath day no Jew of Salonika may carry any burden in his pocket no money, no tobacco, no scrip so that a Jow with a cold has to wear a hankorchief around his walsL At a spot where the walls have beeu pulled down, of lato years tho rabbis havo stretched a wire, so that the idea of the city beint; surrounded by walls may be kept up, and tho computation of a Sabbath day's Journey not interfered with.

Such are among tho doctrines of the orthodox Jews, from theso their renegade brethren are happily exempt; and, though despising them as they do, an orthordox Jew will not scruple to make use of the Duumeh, who may eat such portions of flesh as his own law forbids who may como in and light his flro for film on the Sabbath and cook his food, for it is unlawful for a rlghtmlndod Jew even so much as to light a brazier to warm himself withal If the weather be cold on a Sabbath day.

In a mst admirable compilation by Mr. Tewpole Prime, of Huntington, Long Island, entitled, "Descent of John Nelson and his children, with notes ou the families sf Taller and Stoughton," are theso details of the portrait: The painting 86x44f inohes, nearly full face, inclined to the right, dress of a magistrate, wig, the left hand holds lolds of the gown, the right hand leans on a couple of books, which are supported by a pediment, ou which Is "Act 78, 1732," at the top of the portrait, in the corner to the left In yellow, the Nelson arms, (or, a cross patowe sable) surmounted by helmet and cre3t; to the right, in background, landscape with view In the distance.

From Parkman's "Frontenao" I make tbo following extracts, which, In a brlet space, sheds much light on the subject. At this time (1092) a gentleman of Boston, John Nelson, captured by Vlllebon the year before, was a prisoner at Quebec. Nelson was uephow and heir of Sir Thomas Temple, In whose right he claimed the proprietorship of Acadia now Nova Scotia H. L. under an old grant of Oliver Crom vtelL He was familiar both with that country aud with Canadu, which he had visited several times before the war.

As he was a man of birth and breeding, and a declared euemy of Phlps, aud as he had befriended French prisoners and shown especial kindness to Meneval, the captive Governor of Acadia, he was treated with distinction by Frontepac, who, though he know him to be a determined enemy of the French, lodged him at tho chateau and entertained him at his own table. Mitdocliawattdo, tho father in law of Saint Castln, made a visit to Fronteuao, and Nelson, who spoke both B'ronch and Indian, contrived to gain from him and othor sources a partial knowledge of the Intended oxpedlllou. He was not in favor at Bof ton, for though one of tho foremost in the overthrow ot Andross, his creed and his character savored more of the Cavalier than the Puritan. This did not prevent him from risking his life for the colony. He wrote a letter to the authorities of Massachusetts and then bribed two soldiers to desert aud carry it to them.

The deserters were hotly pursued, but reached their destination and delivered their letter. An episode succeeding this is thus described by Hutchinson, in his History ot the Colony of Massachusetts Bay." The Frenchmen tho two deserters above alluded to. H. L. not long after, by some means or other, were retaken and carried to Canada, where they wwere punished as deserters.

Before their execu tion tnoy coutesseu tne wnoie. jr. neiuuu carried out with tliem lu expectation of the snme fate. They wore shot before Ids eyos. He was as being of more value to rot in French dungeons thnu to be mado food for powder.

II. L. sent back to prison, and soon after to France, but on his passage prevailed upon a fellow passenger to convoy intelligence of a second design of twelve men of war and 2,000 troops, which were every day expected at Canada to make a descent upou the English coloules from Plscaiaqua to Carolina. It will be observed that Mr. Nelson, under the most trying emergencies, never hesitated in making porsonal sacrifices that would benaflt his own Government.

Some othor events of general iutor esls are so agreeably relatod iu a manuscript letter (In the writer's possession) of the late Senator Lloyd, of Massachusetts, that 1 shall in connection with the already promised Nelson lotter, give It entire in my next communication. It will well repay the labor of perusal. Henry Lloyd. A SKKIOUS HUHOBIST. My story is a sad ono aud won't tako long to tell.

To any sort of moire I cnu suit it Just us well. You'll understand my misery before my tale is done. It all began one hapless day the day I made a pun; And ever since that fatal hour the people do declare That I became a humorist, alas! right then and there: Though to be considered serious give a lot of money, Whatever I may say or do, they will insist its funny. I might perhaps have since escaped the direful con sequeuces Had I not penned a feeble Joko when hardly in my senses, 'Twas printed in a paper of tremendous circulation, And I was dabbed a humorist by all the laughing nation. In vain 1 tried to prove myself a libelled individual, The fatal truth confronted mo the Joke was quite original.

Where'er I wont thero followed me that dreadful reputation, And every word I spoko aroused uproarious, cachi natlon. If I remarked in casual tones upon the gloomy 1 weather, The people laughed until they cried, aud laughed and cried together; When I gave information of some accident distressing. They roared with mighty merriment exceedingly depressing; And wheu I failed in business and despairing told my wife, She, laughing, vowed I'd never been so funny in my life! I dressed in somber black, assumed a grim, funereal air, And spoke in woe enveloped tones, my face dis i trnught with care. I wept a littlo when I could, all steep'd in melancholy, But people only laughed again, and whispered, "Ain't ho Jolly In fact, the more that I became a sacrifice to sadness, Tho moro I met tho wretched glee that drove me near to madness. Full half my time spent declining pressing invitations To humorous banquots and to write for comic Dubllcatious, And scented notes and letters couohod in words as sweet aa honey "Now won't you send you autograph? and please to make it funny." If I should sink beneath ray trials and leave this mortal sphere, The world would glvo me credit for the best Joke of the 5'ear; And doubtless folks who came to gazo upon my monument Would find it quite impossible to keep tholr laughter penL 'Tls unless to deny it now, alack! tho mlachlof's done, And I must be a humorist, tho' an unconscious one.

I've only thi3 request to make, which no one cou resist: Please call me in my epitaph the Serious Humorist. Herbert Hall Winslow, Harper's. WILD WHITE CATTLE. Those Thai Aro in JJhariley Park, Staffordshire, EuclantU Chartley Park is in Staffordshire, overlooking the Trent, belonging to Earl Ferris and is likewise au estate of great antiquity. Elizabeth was there once as a guest and Mary of Scots ai a prisoner.

The park Is part of Needwood Forest and a large tract of It Is wild moorland; "tho turf is in a primitive state." Tho cattle have fine pointed horns tipped with black, black muzzles and ears; and the inference is that there are occasional departures even from this typo, for legend runs in the Ferris family that if a black calf is born a member of their race dies; therefore, says the story, the keeper Immediately puts to death any such 111 omened new comer perhaps averting the calamity by concealing evidence of the event. Thero is a curious bit In a quaint Salural Hulory of Staffordshire, by Robert Plat, Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, to the effect that if oattlo eat the grass that grows in certain localities in that county "they will surely turn out whiltish dun." He got fact and fiction confused. Chartley was visited by Ellhu Burrltt, who wrote of the cattle as "a Kind ot white buffaloes, which doubtless In their day and generation supplied the Druids with raw beefsteak." He goes on to say that they aro quite untamable, and "the keepers must keep at a respectable distance;" "the touch of a human hand is an abomination to them." When the calves aro born far out in the wilderness and need care, the keepers run two fork handles under them and so carry them, as on a litter, to the shod. The mothers would desert them if a hand touched them. Bewlek, who went to see the cattle and made an engrp.ving of a cow, with great, limpid eyes having a startled look llko a hind, tells about the same story, and that if one goes near calves, "they olap their heads close to tho ground and lie like a hare in form, to hide themselves," and if one should cry out, the whole hord would come bellowing to the rescue.

Wide Awake, RAILROADING IS THR AIB. In some mountain locations galleries have been cut directly Into the rock, the clifX overhanging the roadway and tho line being carried in a horizontal cut or nlobe in the solid wall. The Oroya and the Chlmbote railways in South America demanded constant locations of this oharacter. At many points it was necessary to suspend the persons making the preliminary measurements from the olitf above. The engineer who mode those locations tells the writer that on tho Oroya line the galleries wero of teri from 100 to 400 feet above tho base of the cliff and were reached generally from above.

Rope laddersvvero used to great advantage. One 61 feet long and one 105 foot ions covored the usual practice, and wero sometimes spliced to. gether. These ladders could be rollod up and carried about on donkeys or mules. Wheu swung over the Bide of a ollff ana secured at tho top, aud when practicable at the bottom, they formed a very useful instrument in lcation and construction.

The wny the gourds climb is by means of spiral, curled tendrils, which are in reality small abortive stipules or loaf appondages the work of clingiug to the external object, be It bough or stom of some other plant, ovor which tho beautiful parasite rapidly spreads Itself. The tendrils push themselves out on every revolving aa they go, till they reach some slender twig or leaf stalk to which they can attach themselves It 1b curious and Interesting to watch them aB thoy grow, and to see how closely their movements simulate intelligent action. Tho little curled whorls go feeling about on every side for a suitable foothold, groping blindly, as It wero, la search of a support and revolving slowly in wide sweeping curves, uutti at last they happen to lay hold wish tnolr growing end of a proper object Onco found, they seem to seize it eagerly with tholr Uttlo flngors (for In the gourd tho tendrils ore branched, not slraplo), and to wrap it round at once many times over in their tight embraco.

It is wonderful how far they will go up out ot their way in their groping quest of a proper foothold, and how, when at length they stumble upon it, they will look tor all the world as if they had known beforehand exactly when and whore to search for it. These actions come far closer to intelligence than most people imagine; they are deliberately performed in responsive answer to external stimuli, and only take place when the right conditions combine to oxoite them.

Before I saw one I always imagined the St. Bernard to bo as large as a lion and strong as a bull. The picture In my youthful geography had mado theso Impressions. When a dog that I supposed to be an overgrown setter was pointed out as ono of tho celebrated Alpine breed, my cherished imaginative ssructurea wont cluttering to the ground.

Wheu some poor wretcli half perishing in the snow was found, his froozlng blood would be thawed by the dog's warm body and the braudy flask; so conveniently attached to tho collar. After regaining strength I supposed the traveler would mount the dog's back and annimal trot off with him to the monastery. But It was plain that this SL Bernard (ho was a crack ono too), had he been Iatgo ououEh to carry a man, could not trot; ho was entirely too straight in the stifles. It is doubtful if ho could have even walked fast enough to keep himself from freezing to death on a real cold night. Forest and Stream Atlanta rivals Chicago in the number of its divorce suits.

A few days ago the new Bishop of "VVaitzen, In Hungary, wos sitting at dinner in bis own bouse with seven frionds, when, all at once, a small dog belonging to him ran up to him, and, seizing the tall of his coat, tried to pull him toward his bed room door, which opened Into the dining room.

The Christian Advocate thus shows its tol eratlon of spirit: The Spanish and Portugese Synagogue recently dedlcatod Its new house of worship In this city, it is named the Congregation of the Moses Moutoflore and no ecclesiastical society, Protestant, Greok or Roman, named aftor any modern philanthropist has a more honorable appellation than this Hebrew society. The Boston Pilot has the following broth erly tap of the shillalah for the London Tablet: The London Tablet rairly gnahos Its teeth at tho Home Rule cause, smarting under tho recent shame of exposure. The falsehood of the Tablet has been made apparent so tne Vatican; uiu maso. ui yiviy is dropped and tho barod teeth of the landlord wolf are shown. xnis mendacious paper, polluting tho name of tho Church, refers In this way to tho bishops and priosts of Irolaud, who have assured the Pope of the profound devotion of the Irish peopld and the false information on which the rescript was based.

The Presbyterian reiterates the mission of the two churches, the North and the South, which havo still the samo work to do as though they had united again: There is one field of Christian effort which lies open to both churches, and in which both churches are already at work, to wit, the evangelization of tlio African race in tho Southern States. This is a work which must be done by the dwellers in this land a work iu which we will receive no help from other lands a work which presses upon us, because the race multiplies rapidly and has had groat responsibility thrust upon it. It constitutes a homo mission of unexampled extent, to which wo must glvo attention, and which urges its claims upon us by the great need of the dark masses who dwell upon our soil and are our lellow citizens in tho state. The Observer would have Jersey Sunday law applied to Long Island The citizens of Hobokon are to be congratulated on tholr successful resistance to the playing of base ball matches iu tho Elysiau Fields on Sunday. Four thousand people nsombled to witness a match last sunaay niternoon, dui Deiore tne gainu was openod the police warnod tho Intending participants that It must not bo played, aud their warning was effectual.

This action was brought about by a vigorous appeal to tho authorities, made by a number of ministers and other citizens. Iu view of this illustration of tho power of public sentiment when energetically expressed, cannot the citizens of Queens County, Long Island, do somo ming to abate tne disgrace nnu nuisance ot tne Ridgewood Park Suuday games The laws ot New York State are explicit, the penalty is sufficient and it needs but proper action on the part of the authorities of tho county to put an end to this fla erant defiance of law, which is attracting wide attention. The Christian Union notices an important gathering in London which has been otherwise strangely little noticed in this country, tho International Missionary Conference: There were 2,000 persons coming together from all parts of the world 160 delegates from America, 22 from the Continent of Europe, 27 from Canada, otc. 150 missionary organizations, at, told, represented. They wero inspired In their work, at least they wero drawn together la this conference, by no spiri; of denominational propagandlsm for this was a wholly undenominational gatuerlug but simply and purely by a love for Christ and bis cause, a zeal to promote the kingdom of God on the earth aud a strong desire to got light out of mutual conference bow better to accomplish this great re sulL Such a gathering rises at once in spiritual dignity above auy church council, however Imposing, because it is froe from that talntod selfishness which mars all purely ecclesiastical gatherings.

The Christian, ai Work says of the African slavo trade: The evjl mast be attacked at the sources of the trade and in the regions whose demand for slaves the Arab dealer are willing to gratify at any peril. Somo day, when Christendom wakes up to tho fact that the export African slave trade is again in full blast, much needed pressure may be brought to bear upon Turkey to prevent the importation of slaves. The Churchman remarks upon the alleged confession by Dr. Mackenzie of his concealment ot tho opinion that the lato Emperor's disease was cancer: If there is anything that a man has a right to kuow it Is tho fact, when it is a fact, that his life is drawing to a closo; and unless a physician has quite made up his mind that there i3 no life to be thought of but the life that now is. he will be slow to conclude that it is his prorossional duty to deceive thBtlvinir.

If he should como to that conclusion, why should he not also, like Dr, Mackenzie, further conclude that it may bo his duty for a sufficient consideration to deceive the living? The Christian Itegisterhaa found something latitudltiarian in the preaching of an Episcopal clergyman: The sermon on "Jesus" which wo publish this week would bo interesting and suggenive whorevor delivered. But It Is rendered additionally Interesting from the fact that it was written by an Episcopalian rector and delivered In his owa pulpit. It Is soldom that the life of Jesus is treated Iu so perfectly natural a maunor as it Is hero. His humanity Is obscured by no logeudary or mythical elo ment; it stands out in all Its richness, seronlty and dignity. The only point iu which Mr.

Bartlett gives Jesus an advantage ovor othor men is his ancestry. The conception of the character of Jesus hero given Is as beautiful and inspiring as it is natural. To make him more human is not to make him less divluo; lor Hie divinity ho illustrated was that which belongs to humanity, and whloh every son of God shares with him. The Christian at Work comments on the disciplining by an ecclesiastical court of a minister who solemnlzod tho marriage of a couple oie of whom had been previously divorced, not according to tho scriptural rule. A minister cannot always find out the truth of the matter; people who divorce themselves ou au Impulse and marry again as a whim will be apt to tell such lies to the minister a's may suit their convenience.

Tho whole matter can bo remedied In but one way by a national uniform marriage and divorce law. Then all marriages outside of the legal requirements will bo uniformly null and void and the present easy dlvorce oasy marrylng ngain method of to day will be done away with. In this matter we are going from bad to worse every year. It is time to do something, even if doing it the next proaldeut question should be lost sight of for a few minutes. The Freeman's Journal rejoices at the prospect of a medical college attached to SL Mary's Hospital, Brooklyn, for theological reasons: The need of a Catholic medical school in or near New York Is becoming more and more understood.

Catholic students of medicluo come into this city In increasing numbers. As rule, they have had littlo opportunity for getting the right views on those subjects in the theory and practico of medicine where theology comes in wish a peremptory non nofiamtu. The falsest views ou craniotomy and kindred topics are taught in tho present colleges. It all depends on the bent of the rolgning professor whether his class is to hold heterodox opinions aud follow criminal practices or not. Unity remarks upon the almost simultaneous occurrence of two beneflcont events: Very difficult It is for us to Imagine any other country passing through so important a crisis as that of 1861 la tho United States.

Aud yet with what a thrill of satisfaction, close upou the nows of the manumission of 600,000 slaves by tho Brazilian Senate, do wo read of the speody abolition of Russian oxile to Siberia. Every such act of emancipation effects a double liberty. With tho chains of tho captive fall the more terrlblo spiritual bonds of the captor. Mercy is tho great regenerating force. The Catholic Review speaks thus of the coming silver Jubilee of the Archbishop of New York: Already the prletts of his dlocoio havo taken suitable preliminary steps to show their reverence and love for this distinguished momber of thejr order, aud also their homago for tho high office which makes him their fathor aud chief, as well as their brother and friend.

Wo aro sure that the laity of this great metropolis will not need any stimulus to repeat on that suitable occasion the manifestations of esteem and affection by which they have already shown how they appreciate the gentleness, energy and Justice of the Archbishop's rule since he came among them. The Independent expresses the following opinion of tho fitness of the late selection of a successor to Dr. McCosh, at Princeton: He has all of Dr. MoCosh'3 love for truth, whatever it may bo, and, like Dr. McCosh again, his taste runs to the defense of Christianity in iu great fundamental principles rather than in tho minor ramifications of its theology; so ho has come to be ooe of the defenders of tho faith rather than a hammerer of horotlcs, as in his youth he threatened to become.

His inaugural address was noblo in its utterances and gave proof of the greatness of the man. Under him we expoct Princeton University to crow in lufiuonco and to graduate a well instructed, well balanced aud well lusplred body, of students. The Christian Inquirer exhorts ngainst a vacation from rollglous duty thus: Thoughtlessness, Indulgence iu the spirit of gos Bip. Indifference to God's day aud to tho services of his house for the three months spent away will do moro, often, to dwarf and to destroy the life of Christ iu the soul than tho upright walk and godly conversation of tho other nine months can do to promote the spiritual advancement and growth ot Farewell Reception to the Rev.

The house and grounds wore beautifully decorated with flowers and Chlnose lanterns, aud during the evening the choir of the church rondorod some floe selections of music appropriate to the occasion.

Mr. Washbourne, in accepting these tributes of affection and esteem, responded with some very touching and appropriate romarks, and altogether this occasion, though sad, was a very pleasant a social one and will long be remembered by those participating in it. After refreshments were served the following lotter was presented Mr. Washbourne by the vestry of the church Brooklyn, June 23, 1888.

On Wednesday the members of the Cranks Bowling Club, of this city, and their friends wont on their annual excursion to RufUo Btr. Tne day was all that could be desired. The oxcursionisw took the steam tug G. C. Dean at the Cannrsio landing at 10 o'clock, reaching tho grove in loss than ono hour, after a pleasant sail through Jamaica Bay, and ou their arrival all sat down to breakfast, and the festivities of the day thou began when the sprightly Jim West introduced the president and boss crank of the company, Mr.

James Ross, who addressed the erotvd at some length, counseling them to bo as agreoable as possible, if they wore crauka. Ho was loudly applauded. A game of ball was then Indulgod in between teams captained by A. Noden and John Trevor. After five innings had beea played the game was called, tho former's nine winning by a score of 22 to 10.

The feature of tho gamo of bail' was the troublo experienced in prevailing ou Borne person to act as umpire. Mr. West was the first to act. Ho finished one inning and then withdrew, saying, sadly: "You are a lot ot cranks." When the ball game was completed quoit games were indulgod the following teams Kylo and Lawson against Boweu and Farou, the former winning by a score of 20 to 21. Lore and West made a show of Harden and Van Wicklen by a scoro of 21 to 11.

Love and West were not so successful in tholr next adventure, as thoy wore defeated by a score ot 21 to 19 by Noden and Rois. Tho other amusements of the day Included loot ball, swimming, fishing, dancing, jumping and other pleasures. The Crauk3 then sat down to ono of Ruffle Bar's famous dinners, which the boys thoroughly enjoyed. Aftor dinner three whistles were sounded as a signal for departure for homo aud in a few miuuies ono of tho happiest parties ever afloat left Ruffle Bar for home. The feature of the homo trip was tho singing by Mr.

Henry Goldmaclur and the othor members ot tho old melody "Home, Sweet Home." At 0 o'clock a landing was made at Cauarsie.

Everyone who happonod to have the good luck to be a member of the Gretna was a happy being last Friday ulght, wheu tho club brought its third soason to a close with an excursion up tho Oudssn for tho members and a few of their friends. A party of about fifty, with a collation for double that num bor, boarded Mr. Hopkins' crack steam launch Crystal, at tho bridge dock, and sailed away on a trip to Yonkora and return.

Tho musical portion of the club had their Instruments with them and rendered selections at various times.

Murphy, Miss Julia A Century of Depredations on the North Shore. Lawless People of Connecticut Who Have Invaded Lonjr Island A Case of Trespass in 1778 Tho Lncas Family. Even to the present day the 'north shore and adjacent uplands of Long Island are subject to trespass and depredation by lawless and piratical hordes from the residents of Connecticut, and moro particularly by those who reside upou or near Long Island Sound. The frequency and boldnoss of this sort of pillaging has arisen largely from the fact that tho Long Island territories fronting on the Sound are remote from the patrol and protection of the police, the easy avoidance of capture through escape by boats kept noar at hand, and from the circumstauce that the invading parties are strong In numbers and well instructed in predatory habits. Only a few days since a gang ot these outlaws lauded on tho northwest portion ot the manor of Queen' Village (Lloyd's Neck) on the estate of the late J.

C. Brandegeo, and after toaring down fence3 and building fires, which, but for great exertions by the resident tenant, would have resulted in serious loss, were drlveu oft by the plucky guardian at the point of a Winchester rifle, obliging them to leave in their hurried retreat partly cooked viands. This appropriating fence rails for building fires, thereby oudaugering large areas of forest lands and other valuable properly, has boon a favorite method of not only of freebooters from the main shore, but of thoso commanding small craft engaged In the oystor trade or In transporting graVol, sand, eta Cordwood piled on exposed landings has also found favor with those migratory thieves. When tho manor was grazed by thousands of aheon, tho robbBrs would pounce upon them durlug tho hours of night and with tarred strings bind the legi, that In duo time were to furnish prime mutton. Some of these villains wore evidently experts, for when they found some of tho animals selected by green hauds ot unfit condition, they would cut the cord, but failed to remove the tell tale remnant of tarred string.

The nutmeg State has beeu to the last degree tenacious in asserting and maintaining her rights to hor own lands under water, and woe be to those who even attempt interference with tho clam or oyster interests. That they havo disregarded this principle in respect to the rights of Long Island is almost daily demonstrated. Tho occupation of lauds soourod by tho amplest and strongest colonial grants by oystor squuttor3 has become so frequent, so glaring and so impudent, that we are happy to learn that it has finally been placed on tho criminal dockeL Thus the matter will be doflnltoly decided by the highest court. This Is as It should be, for any tompor iziug only brings delay, increases exponse and leads to embarraslug complications. While we believo that tho easiost way is quite frequently the best policy, we quostlon the advisability of its application in this case.

Among the family papers of the writer are found accounts of soveral depredations on Queens Village in old times by tho toughs from Greenwich, Conn. The owner of tho premises (now possessed by Mrs. P. Lloyd Stevens), though at the time and for many years previous a resident of Stamford, proceeded to make It hot for a lot of Jolly marauders. Oral or written remonstrances wouldn't have been worth a pinch of pollen dust, but a lien effected upon the pockets of evil doers was as efficacious then as now, aud as it ever will be.

I proceed to copy ono out of several casos occurring ISO years ago. It may be remarked In passing that during the Revolutionary War no locality on the Sound was moro contin uously and viciously raided by the guerilla element on both sides than that now generally known as Lloyd's Neck. There is no doubt that now a great deal of ill gotten treasure 1103 burled in its soil. How much has already been resurrected by the arts ot clairvoyance aud doviuiug rods is hard to say, but that there is quite a field for sanguine soekera of "treasure trove" thoro can be no doubt. At some future time we may treat the readers of the Eagle to an account of two fat finds, of the oxlst ouce of which there was pretty positive evidence.
