Almut Churches ami Preacher. And Ml.-ceHiuieeus Matters Net Irrelevant te Solemn Thoughts. Frightened His Congregation. A Free Church minister ou the Isle of Skvc frightened hi congregation half out of their wits en a recent Sunday by an nouncing fiemthc pulpit that the Russians had invaded England and that Mr. Glad stone had been sent te the Tower. The consternation of the islandei s was increased when the minister bade them prepare at once te dclcud their firesides. Every weil of this dire announcement was accepted as "espel truth, and such the minister be lieved it te he until sonic one who knew better brought about an explanation, from which it appeared that a stray copy of an English comic paper, containing a jest about a Russian invasion and the impri sonment of the premier, had fallen into the clergyman's hands and been received by him in all faith. The Story Told by a Tramp. On Sunday e cuing an aged man called at a house in Kingsten, and a-ked shelter for the night. His clothes were seedy but neat, and hisgeneral appearance wassiien as te indicate that he was net an ordinary or professional tramp, lie was given sup per and a bed, and in the evening he told the following story of his life : ' Ui- namu is Samuel 15.

I de net seem te be at vest wherever I am, and suppose 1 will be a wanderer the remaining days of my life.' On Mendav morning he left the house be fore breakfast, and nothing has since been seen of him. He wan about five feet, eight inches high, and had iron-gray hair and moustache.

Among the papers arc copies of deeds te lands in Cook county, lib. Al Al beon, Mich., te lands in Mich., te lands in Missouri and ether western states and let tcrs relating te the same. Mr. Peel was also largely interested in patent lights, and only a short time previous te his death purchased the right of a patent for thick ening crape. He also owned a cottage at Sea Greve, N. J., building lets in Chicago and in Paterson, N. .1., coal lands in Penn sylvania and a geld mine in North Caro lina. At the time of his death he was en gaged in a Miit for lands estimated at $80, 000, and a suit in equity in which 50,000 aie involved. Mr. Peel was one of these exceedingly reticent men who would never speak of hfs family affairs, and there is an impression that Peel was an assumed name.

Frem a Speech of the Hen. Mahlen Oiekervm In the United States Senate in 110. Sir, the time may come when our coun try will be iillcd with an army of pension ers, always the lnenes 01 anutrary power. The time will come when when we shall have a numerous host of officers, civil and military, in every department of the gov ernment, spread ever our immense terri tory, looking up te the president as the source of power and emoluments. The time will come when luxury and extrava gance will banish from our country every species of republican virtue ; and the time will come, I fear, when this Senate will be no mere thau the shadow of what it was intended te be by these who framed our constitution; when it will ba no check upon the executive ; when it shall he as insignificant as the boasted Senate of Itemc in the"' time of Tiberius. The whole patronage of government will centre iu the president, aud that patronage, under our present system of cheesing electors, will become "a machine of Irresistible power.

Christmas Card Competition. The decision of the judges in the Christ mas card competition was rendered in New Yerk, after a full examiuatieu of the numerous designs. Mr. Leuis C. Tiffany was .prevented from elliciating and his place was supplied by Mr. Stanford White, the ether judges being Mr. Jehn LaFarge and Samuel Celeman. The first prize of $1,000 was awarded te Elihu Vedder, the painter of the " Cuintean Sibyl and the Yeung Marsyas" and ether well known pictures. The second prize of $300 was awarded te Miss Dera Wheeler, for he design of ' Angels Blowing Trumpets," with decerative border in imitation of stamped leather. The third prize of $300 was gained by Mr. C. C. Celeman with a bric-a-brac and plum blossoms against a geld giettud of singular richness and beauty. It introduced also a design of a Tiffany glass window, and was se exceed ingly decorative that the judges after con sultation with Mr. Prang, raised the ameut of the prize te $300. The fourth prize fell te Miss Resina Emmett, who wen the first prize last year Her design was a lady very much like Sarah Bern hardt raising a little child ie her arms, and giving ic a hearty hug under the mis tletoe. The border is an arrant; incut of mistletoe, with peculiar tones nf arsenic green and salmon pink. The World says that the public will no doubt, endorse the action of the judges for the first three de signs, but. for the fourth there will be considerable demur, as it will be easy te pick out twenty cards of superior merit. The 'Tribune, en this ether hand, is of opinion that the first prize should have been given te Miss Emmett. and it docs net think that Miss Wheeler and Messrs. Vedder and Celeman should have taken prizes at ail. This is the Tribune's descrip tien of the Vedder dcsinns : " Inclesed in a rectangular frame filled in en three sides .. .wU....n...... --- -" with a beayy conventional ornament aim at the bottom with a panel containing a motto, "lhv ew Wish wi.h I thee ... nvni - v ii!.up' is the kit-cat llifUre of a :':;' ""'.,.. ,.,..: ,,te..;,...

Dirtier-inn ill the .Je-iillsts. X. Y. Times. The breaking up of the numerous mo nastic anu religious houses in France necessarily causes the members of the vari i:s orders te lind a refuge in ether countries. At present the Jesuits are taking up new (Uiartcis in the Channel Islands, having purchased several valu able properties', and being in treaty te-day for a ''l-eat manv mere. As is their cus ... . 1 It n 1 1 At tem, they will undoubtedly open schools en the Island of Jersey, which will be at tended by net euly French but Engli.-h Catholics.

The Trappistines. a sisterhood somewhat resembling the Trap pists, new at Leval, will also find a re.-.t-wi place en the Island of Jersey in casj they arc removed from Fi:iec. As com plete isolation is one of the necessities of the Trappists' life. i:. would, pjrliapi, be dillieult for them te Ih d any portion of the Island of Jersey suitable for their peculiar aceticism. A great deal has been said as te the wealth of the followers of Ignatius Leyola. Theie can ha no doubt as te their being the pos sessors of a great deal of money. Apart from the real estate held by them in all parts of the world, they control immense n 1 - 1 . . ... amounts of ready cash. I hengn then- ac cumulatiens were swept away by the French revolution, their wealth lias from small beginnings made early in the pres ent cent ury again increased enormously. The .Jesuits have always commanded the b".st linancial ability in Eurepj. In France, it is said en geed authority, that as eanitalists thev excicise two or three 1 special callings. The;, advance money te the French merchant; marine, am: v.eie largely interested in maritime insurance. Anether business which they exercised almost exclusively in Paris was the lend ing of money te the jewelry and silver plate trade. Reliable persons known te the Jesuits, irrespective of religion, could always obtain all tlie money wanted at reasonable rales. Unpopular as the Jesuits may be, it is very certain that the large amounts of money th:-y possess is never expended ou them: elves, but ler their re ligious missions te all parts of the earth. In worldly matters the Jesuits have been always shrewd and circumspect, and in purchasing real estate they never held but the very best. Cntlyle'ft Poverty. : Pii-K-Ws lpni.h :ill soils of remi niscences and anecdotes of him have been coming out. Hut we have f-een almost nothing in regard te his earnings, which ought te be of interest, inasmuch as the pecuniary reward of authorship is a sub ject that has been much discussed lately both in this country ana aureau. vanyie has for half a century neon cenccueu te ec one of the most gifted, as he has certainly been ene of the most celebrated, of con temporaneous writers. It might naturally be supposed, therefore, that his pen must have secured him a modest fortune in all the years of its active employment. These in position te knew say that his entire property will net exceed $2.j, 000, and that if he had net had the simplest tastes, with habits of Spaitan .simplicity, iiu u' u"-" m- " f. J. ,oeo A nn (im a urna hi ttimnliRitv. he would often have been income from his labor, including c p ,. ,. . . 1 .... !,..: :.i.n right, mere than $3,000 per annum, and much of the time it was net half of this. When he married Jenny Welch he was thirty-one. aud had already translated "Wiilian Meistcr" and published the "Life of Schiller." But he was then se peer that he went te reside at Craigenpnt Craigenpnt techthc small property owned by his wife, and was enabled, euly through her pittance, te prepare the superb biographical and critical essays which introduced him te the mass of English-speaking readers. Everybody knows his struggles with "Sar tor Resartu.v'and even the"French Revo lution," before he could find a pub lisher, and that in a certain way his whole life was a struggle for mon etary independence. IIe. was the soufef prudence aud thrift ; he Had few wants beyond the mere necessities of na ture ; he was without children and a wid ower years before his death. He was ac customed te say that he had mere money than he could spend ; but this was ene of his grim satires en his continuous poverty, Hardly any man but himself could or would have kept out of debt ; but as debt te him was one of his many forms of dia bolism, he would have avoided it had he been compelled literally te subsist en a crust. Hi published volumes number net far from 30, se that his estate, te name it such, represents about $300 a vol ume. It is a striking commentary en the literary profession that a man of the highest genius and broadest culture could toil at inanusciipts, almost uninter ruptedly, for GO years, and leav.: at his death, after always practicing the rigidest economy, an amount of money that would net meet the expenses of many a modest family in New Yerk for a twelvemonth. Carlyle had enough, for his desires were infinitesimal, and he was an exception t Iiis fellows ; but his examplu is net en en ceuiaging surely te men who aspire te literature and have a piejitdice in behalf efhving. Had Carlyle bt en destitute of genius and scholarship, had he been a common mortal, and tinned his mind te shoe-making or the management of the humblest green-grocery, he Wi-uhl have died with less fame, te be sure, but with an ampler income. Writing is even new, ami it has greatly improved in 23 or :$0 years, one of the poorest of peer trades. Net a J)uiy Milter Hew an Knuilslunaii ItraWly wen His American Wile.
