A .New Religious Sect.
Futon county, Michigan, is the birth
1 place of a new religious sect which is
mainly composed of dissenters from all
other denominations. Tho services em
ployed are similar to those of tho Epis-'
copal service. The name of the new
denomination is "The Living Church
of God," and tho members are called
" the chosen." A correspondent of the
Chicago / rttrr-Ocf'in , at Battle Creek,
** "writes as follows of the new sect: The
members are admitted to the society
with great form and a prescribed order
of exercises, much like some of the '
secret societies. They claim to be pos
sessed of some very grave secrets re
_ garding the near approach of tbe world
which have been imparted to them by
divine inspiration. A delegation of
twelve of their members, as chosen
apostles, have been selected to prepare
a proper Bible for their nse, and which
will not be given to any outside of the
families of the chosen. It will contain
the articles of faith, and is supposed to
be mainly composed of extracts from
tho Old Testament, as they discard the
new version. In rome respects they
are communists, as all members who
are worth over $.1,000 pnt their property
together and divide the profits pro rats.
They take many customs from the Jews,
and liavo a large nnml>er of holy days,
which they keep very strictly, besides
and Sunday of each week,
which afro observed as days of rest.
They do not have anything to with out
siders any more than is strictly neces
sary. They never marry bnt once, and
in the event of death of husband or
wife, remain single the remainder of
their life. Divorce and separation are
not allowed, and any difficulties which
oome up in the family or chnreh ate
bronght befoTo the twelve elders, from
whom there is no appeal. In their
dress and mode of living they are very
simple, tho men wearing their hair cat
short and faces smoothly shaven, and
tho women wearing only their natural
hair hanging loosely down their backs.
They are industrious and frugal, and
arc accumulating much property. Much
interest is manifested in them in the
communities where they reside, and
their numbers are increasing very fast.
Their preacher* literally obey the
Scripture injunction, and go about
preaching withont pay or compensation,
expecting to get their board, clothes
and necessaries of life from their con
verts. Altogether they are a moat

A RACE FOR A lilt IDE.
A Krniorkr l.orlilnvni-'a Thirty-Mil* lt*< *
fmr a Faurlriu-Viiir-lllil HrUr.
A recent isnuo of the Louis villo (Ky.)
Courier-Journal tells this etory of a run
away eouplo and a battled pursuer:
A gentleman from Allen eonnty, wlio
chanced to bo in tho city tells an in
teresting story of n romantic runaway
match which is now being extensively
canvassed in that part of the Htate.
Scotta villo, a pretty village situated in
tho county mentioned, about fifteen
miles from the Tennessee line, is tho
homo of somo of tho most aristocratic
peoplo in Kentucky. It is a place noted
for pretty girls and gallant young men,
and among ull theso the sweetest belle
was Mi.;s Ollio Brown, and tho hand
somest beau Mr. Joseph Carpenter.
They loved each other unto desperation.
Theirs was the sort of love that always
loads to marriage, and months ago they
determined to link their destines. In
this case, as in many others, the only
obstacle was parental objection. Miss
Brown's mother positively doclared that
she was not old enongh to get married,
being only fourteen, and her sweet
heart's entreaties were in vain. The
young conplo made one or two ineffect
ual attempts at elopement, but they
were never once balked in their deter
mination to carry out tho scheme in the
sweet by-and-bye. On last Thursday
young Mr. Carpenter drove in a buggy to
the residence of his sweetheart,and once
moro besought her mother to consent
to an early wedding. Mrs. Brown was
inexorable, Miss Brown was tearful, and
Mr. Carpenter excited. At last, when
every prayer had been denied, the young
man boldly put tho question to his
sweetheart:
" Will you go with mo, or mind your
mother and remain at home?"
The girl looked np through her
tears, first at ber mother and then at her
lover.
" I'll go with von," she said, at
length.
"Then come;'* and with the#io words
young Carpenter caught his lady lovo in
his arms, and, hurrying out of the house,
leaped into the buggy that was standing
in front of the door. The horse re
ceived a smart blow with the whip and
jumped away in a dead run. As soon a*
Mrs. Drown realized tlio situation she
screamed for assistance at the top of her
voice. In a few moments the little
town WHS wild with excitement, but the
volume of sympathy seemed to l>o with
the young people, who hail just whirled
through the streets at a terrific rato of
speed, taking the road that led to flal- '
latin, Tcnn. The mother whoso daugh
ter had been stolen wildly b sought
somebody to go in pursuit of the fugi
tive#l, and, if possible, stop the wed- j
ding. At length Mr. Manion, a young
lawyer, and judge of the police court, |
consented. In a few moments he was
mounted upon a horse of speed and
bottom, rattling out of town in the di- I
rection taken by the buggy, at a pace
that would have captured the "gentle
man's cup*' at any fair in the fltatc.
From tho very start it was a race of whip
and spnr. The fugitives were evidently
making for 'Squire Fikc's office, which
is just across the Tennessee line, and
Jndge Manion was hot upon their trail.
It was a chase long to be remembered
by the people who witnessed it. In
front a horse flecked with foam, go~g
at top speed, and drawing a light buggy,
in which a gallant youth sat, with rcso
lntion upon his face, and a beautiful
girl nestled trustingly by his aide.
Perhaps a mile in the rear a solitary
horseman, applying whip and spnr,
thundered along over the level turnpike.
The buggy had the best of tho race,
and pulled up in front of 'Squire
Fikes' office fifteen minutes in the lead
of the man on horseback. The clever
'Squire promptly adjusted his spectacles
and read the marriage license. It was
all right, and tho ceremony would be
performed, so the 'Squiro said, and ho
was on the point of pronouncing the
words so feverishly awaited by the
young people, when Jndge Manion,
riding like a professional jockey, bore
down upon the party and signaled the
officer of the law to stop. " I object to
this wedding," he said, flinging himself
off his panting horse.
" Upon what gTounda f asked the
'Bqnire.
"It is tho wish of the lady's mother
that she shall not marry. I have come
I at her bidding."
"You'll have to show something in
I writing," oaid the 'Squire, bluntly.
; Jndgo Manion promptly took his sest
j at a table and dashed off an affidavit,
reciting the facts. 'Squire Fikes read
it, and mnoh to the discomfiture of the
runaways, refused to proceed further
with the ceremony. The young people
pleaded, but all to no purpose, jftt
length Mr. ('arpenter said in very simple
j language:
"We will go farther. Get in the
buggy, my dear. Jndge Manion, yon
may prepare for another race. We are
off for Gallatin."
The young man meant exactly what
he said, and in a few minutes the raoe
1 was renewed. The diataneo to Gallatin
was eighteen miles, but the buggy
horn • wee stanch and ae true a *he lore
of the young couple he was drawing.
L-. &.
Ho leaped nimbly away from the string,
and once more got tho best of tho start.
Judge Manion, nothing daunted, again
took tho Huddle and put tho spurs to
his faithful courser. For four miles the
race was ucok and neck, neither entry
for the grand prise flagging; but at the
finish of that dislanco the horse under
saddle east a shoe and stumbled to the
ground completely exhausted. Judge
Munion picked himself up, determined
to carry out his mission, and walked
along the road for throe miles, when he
procured another horse, this time n
sorry plug, and started out once more
on a run. In the meantime, however,
our young people had arrived at Galla
tin. A preacher was secured and the
wedding was performed at tho principal
hotel in the prevenco of a dozen spe
cially invited guests. Judge Manion
galloped into towu on his worn out
hack juflt in time to congratulate Mr,
and Mrs. Carpenter, which ho did with
the best grace possible.

Mustard.
Before tho year 172 M mustard was
little known, according to tho firooert'
Journal, at English tables. About this
time an old woman of tho name of
Clements, residing in Durham, began
to grind tho seed in a mill, and to |M
the flour through several pro*-esses
necessary to free it from its husks. Bhe
kept her secret to herself for many
▼ears, during which she sold large quan
tities of mustard throughout tho coun
try, but especially in London. Here it
was introduced to the royal table,
whero it received the approval of George
I. From the circumstances of Mrs.
Clements being a resident at Durham,
it obtained the name of Durban, mus
tard. The manufacture of mustard con
sisted in airnply grinding the seed into
a very fine flour, a bushel of seed,
weighing sixty pounds, yielding twonty
eight pounds to thirty pounds of flonr
of mustard. A false taste, however,
arose for having an improved color, and
the flour of mustard was introduced
from which the oil had been abstracted.
Hence other material!*, such as capsicum
powder, turmeric, terra alba, wheaten
flour, etc., are added to bring up the
flavor and increase the bulk.

The alleged mendicant retired, and
in a short time was hack again, saying
that he could change that bill.

A Sharper** Trick.

" Ten year* ago one of the boss card

' lied Shirt.' Ho was fmrn Ho ran ton.
He was the ne who invented the tissue
latent rack' t with cards. His plan was
to get np a quiet game of euchre with a
party of follows in a smoking car. After
they'd played along a while Red Shirt
would ray:
"'Well, blamed if 1 ain't got jnst
at>out the lssst little poker hand you
ever saw.'
" Whenever he'd ray that, you could
make up your mind that some one else
a playing had about as good a poker
band ' you ever saw. It was always
fonr aces. Tho man that held the fonr
a**es wouldn't fail to speak out, and
reckon he had a hand it wasn't easy to
leat. Then Ked Khirt wonbl asy:
"' H'ponn we make a little bet, jnst
for the fun o' the thing.'
"A man that holds fonr a*-ea ain't
going to throw away a chance of that
kind. They bet. They raise one another,
and Red Hhirt knows about when it wil|
be a good time to quit, and then be calls.
" • I've got four aces,' says t'other
man.

" The cards are shown up. ltcd Bhirt

"' Aw, here now,' he says, as be puts

one o' the cards a rub with his thnmb
and shores a little piece of paper off

The Carrier Pigeon.
Before the days of steam navigation,
m!road communication and the electric
' t'-b graph, the carrier pigeon was an iai-
P'-riaiit agent in the rapid delivery of
iiupor tint messages. Its nse in peace
and war, diplomacy and intrigue, busi -
ness and finance, speculation and trade,
in the gathering of news or in the
1 securing of private advance information
gave the carrier pigeon a usefalness in
former times far beyond its service at
the present day. Now the electric cur
rent far outstrips the wings of the bird,
distancing even the light of the sun in
1 its speed. The carrier pigeon is now
rarely used for the purpose for which it
was formerly required. The lost im
, portant event of which we are advised,
in which this bird was engaged in it*
regular legitimate work, was at the time
of the siege of Pari", by the Germans.
The most common ue of this bird to
day is in trials of speed l*etweei given
points, affording those persons inter
ested in the sport an opportunity to I*-t
or gamble upon the results.
Its instinctive aptitude for domes
ticity has always marked the carrier
pigeon, and it is this love of home,
added to its attachment to its offspring,
which has imparted the capability o
training the birds as carriers. On long
, distances such birds are selected, if
possible, as have young onew in their
nests. Their rate of flight is speeded
at about thirty miles per hour, though
some have even better records These
pigeon* are a little better than the com
mon breed, though they are surpassed
in beauts by many otter varieties.
They are noted for their extreme
that their wings
) their
jtr pigeon is fiften
inches in an l weighs one and
one-half {rounds. Th neck is long,
and the pectoral muscles very large
indicating a power of vigorous and
long-continued flight. An' appendage
| of naked skin hangs across its bill, con
, tinuing down on either side of tho
I lower mandible, from the site nnd
j shspe of which the value of the bin! is
■ i estimated. Those with wide circlets
J destitute of feathers around the eyes
J are considered among the le*t.
I As soon as tho birds have acquired
< their full strength of wing the training
may commence. The bird is taken in
a covered basket to tho distance of a
mile or so at first, the distances increas
ing as the training progressea. Flights of
immense distanced ami surprising speed
are record*-*!, but many such stories
. have an air of romance about them
j which suggest a flight of thought rather
I than the journey of a bird.
An ingenious method of taking th e
passenger pigeon is practised in Italy,
particularly in those romantic defile
which separate the rooky heights through
which the T*st flights of these birds di
rect their course in their migration.
Nets an- spread in some mountain pass
under the course of the flight of the
pigeons, extending from tree to tree or
from one abutting rocky point to an
other; but as the bird* would fly much
above the net worn not some contrivance
resorted to by the wily natives to force
them to descend, they practice the fol
, lowing expedient: Masses of stone are
( here and there raised, on which the
, slingers station themselves with a qtian
. tity of small-aixed stones. Other per
, sons also concerned being placed on the
; summit of these mountain passes, give
r notice of the approach of the pigeon
, flights by aonnding a horn, hearing
t which those stationed on the piles com
. tnence slinging their wl jte atones among
> the birds, which so attracts their atten
I tion that they descend in pnranit of tU*
, stones, and in doing so numbers of them
, become cnsnaml. —.dmar-feym CuSmttor.
