To my own mind there had never been in the whole of Great Britain, a spot in re ality co obscure, of so treat and scandalous renown, and yet about which, when one really desired to be informed concerning it, there had always seemed to exist such igno rance, mystery and delusion, its the little border hamlet of Gretna Green. I deter mined, therelore, that while afoot in Scot land I would, at the exercise of any personal inconvenience, know the place; delve until there could be a clear understanding of the causes behind its olden notoriety; and, if possible, bring to light, in some plain and reliable fashion, true, if brief, an acconnt ot its extraordinary relations to British so ciety, in its world-famous yet very dim and ' unsatisfactorily accounted-for "Gretna mar riages." The parish of Gretna, or Graitney, com prises a tiny reach of land in the southwest ern portion of Dumfries shire, in the form of an irregular paralellogram, extending in a northeast and southwest direction, about seven miles long, and from two to three miles in width. In its whole length it is borderland; about one-half of its south western exposure lies along the head of the Solway Firth; and the remainder is bounded by the little, though rapid and tumultuous, river Sart. The strip of land between the two rivers, though incontestably English Boil, as the Sark is the real boundary be tween the two countries, has always been debatable ground; nntil the union it was the haunt of smugglers and petty villainy of extraordinary varieties, and in the olden times was a scene of incessant fends between the adherents of Scottish chieftains and En glish border lords. THE DEBATABLE LAND. Topographically the parasb of Gretna is without special interest. It is neither of Annansdale nor Eksdale, and forms a wide hollow or twail, principally of moss-land, with a gradual depression toward the Sol way. Old Gretna, on the east bank of the Kirtle water, in jts old Anglo-Saxon name of Gretan-hol, isnSted only for giviug the name to the parish anddescriblng its topog raphy. Gretan-hol or Gretan-how, mean ing "the great hollow." Here and there traces exist of ancient square towers and keeps, necessary for defense against, and for gathering-places for, foray, in ancient times; and on the farm of Gretna-Mains, the re mains of an oval Druidic temple are found, one stone of which measures 118 cubic feet. Tradition makes this spot famous as the acne of the formation of ancient alliances between England and Scotland. There are altogether but four villages in the parish. These are Old Gretna, Bigg of Gretna, BrewhouBess, a mouldy and sleepy half score of houses on Solway-side, and Gretna Green or Springfield. It is the lat ter two, which are practically one village, iwhich for 136 years or from 1754 until 3.690, for, as I shall show, the practice is in Tvogue to this day "Scotch border marriag es" have made famous or infamous. The two villages comprise one long, straggling having perhaps a score of ancient dwellings, an old Kirk, kirk-yard ana manse, ana tne Sprincneld or southwestern extension may 100 houses of the most doleful and forlorn character. The latter terminate abruptly on the brow of a sunny brae or bank, below vhich winds the impetuous Sark. It should be borne in mind that tne center !f this stream, which is not 40 rods from the abrupt and clumped village end, is the actual boundary line Detween tne 'uune- Im" of Scotland and England; and that latever legal or moral vexations might in s olden times, or now, lnrk in the "De table Land" between the Sark and the ;k, whenever debtors or lovers, flying from b inexorable harassment ot English .tute, once crossed the middle of the Sark, :y were instantly safe from their pursuers neath the ever-welcoming aegis -of Scot h law. Added to this fact was the almost sally important one that the great coach ite, from London itself, and indeed from parts of central and western England, to asgow and all western Scotlond, travers l the fortified English border city of Car le, not ten miles distant, led over the Sark which is here spanned by a great stone bridge, and thence on to Glasgow, passed di rectly through Springfield and Gretna Green, forming the long, broad village street; while down to the here quite recent era of railways an old inn, first at Gretna Green, and later the King's Arms, which is still an inn at Springfield, was in turn headquarters on this ancient post-route for the first change of horses out of Carlisle on the way to the North. E1GOEOUS MAEBIAGE LAWS. The direct causes leading to Gretna Green becoming a far-famed court ot Hymen are traceable to the rigors of English marital law and its interpretation. Tne ancient law of England held that any marriage was legal by civil contract in the presence of two witnesses, without the intervention of a priest. Decisions based on this law en tangled matters in an extraordinary man tier. Marriage by civil contract was valid; but for some purpose such as the descent pf real property to the heirs of snch mar riage the same was invalid. The common notion also prevailed and this principle has always met with unceasing though i utile opposition in England that marriage by priest, or other cleric in holy orders, Rendered the marriage tie absolutely indis soluble: a principle whose universal adop tion would nerve no end save to place a rnos: dangerous power at the disposal of the I ays-human creatures of the church of hour; precluding superior and ever-safe icial discrimination under the safe rdi of wise law and intelligent courts, esnltant upon this inexorability ot law the natural revolution of feeling under :b a century and a quarter since, were tared the Fleet and other scandalous idon marriages, and to end which was ied the English marriage act of Lord ncellor Hardwicke, in 1754. This act lished clandestine and so-called "irregu ' marriages, and made it compulsory on English subjects, save Quakers and He rs, to be married "according to the irch of England;" a restriction as inta tnons in its nature as were the abuses to which, as im all similar cases, it legitimately ted. The opportunity for erasiom of this enormity was soon discovered in the rule of the English courts that any marriage valid ly performed in the country in which it had peen contracted must be held valid in En gland. EAST TO SLATE VS SCOTIA. The law of marriage in Scotland has al ways been practically the samets was an cient English law. Scotland, as well as En gland, at the time of the Beformation re fused to accept the provision of the Council ot Trent rendering the solemnization of marriage by a priest necessary. The Scot tish law always prescribed, and now pre scribes, certain ceremonials for observation iu the regular celebration of marriage, which included the publication of banns;end the officiating by a clergyman. Though any marriage contracted without these ceremoni als is "irregular" it may still be absolutely valid. Scottish people, including a large proportion of the clergv themselves, ever sturdily withstood the enactment of laws by Scottish Parliament, and, subsequent to the Union, by the British Parliament, for Scotland, which sfllcht aloud a K-allea ;'irrf tilw" Birrlagc or heirship of prop j erty crowing out of such marriage with any legal quibbles ofbarassments. Public sentiment has always been the sole bar to this form pf marriage; they have ever been rare and infrequent among the Scotch themselves; and innocent progeny have never been permitted to suffer from conditions resultant from that which, while propriety might question its exercise, jus tice and law regarded as an inalienable hu man right. Prom time immemorial all that has been requisite for a valid marriage in Scotland has been an interchange of real and actual consent, constituting at the time given an undeniable intention and determi nation to enter the relation of husband and wife, with either incontestable written evi dence of that fact, -or evidences of witnesses before whom the same is declared. This was Scottish law 200 years ago, 100 years ago, and it is Scottish law to-day. It has never been modified in effect in the slightest degree. The strictest conditions of registra tion have been imposed, as in all other civ ilized countries; and about the middle of the present century not because a necessary restriction upon regular or irregular mar riages among Scottish people, but wholly in deference to English clamor for a check upon the "Gretna" and "Coldstream" mar riages of English people an additional requisite was provided to the effect that at least one of the contracting parties must have been ac actual resident of any parish of Scotland tor 21 days preceding marriage. HAPPY MAEEIAOES THE BULK In other words, any marriage in Scotland always has been, and now is, a valid mar riage by civil contract, and the requisites for marriages here to-day are precisely the same as they always have been, with the ex ception of the safeguard of subsequent reg istration, and the trifling condition of brief residence of one of the contracting parties. That the Scotch marriage laws have been liberal, wise and humane, and that the best social results in Scotland are directly attrib utable to the same, admit of no denial in the face of the incontestable fact that in no other known country is the marital relation held more sacred, and when statistics also show, as they do, that social scandals arising out of unbappy marriages, and appeals to courts for severance ot the marriage bond, are practically unknown. The proposition, therefore, can be safely advanced that the Toryocracy of the English law inspired by the church autocracy in England, and not any inherent unwisdom of Scottish law, was solely responsible for the unenviable notoriety of famous and infamous Gretna Green. There seems to be no way of ascertaining the exact date of the first irregularinarriage at Gretna, or of discovering the degrees through which its humble priest of Hymen reached his zenith of fame. But by dint of perseverance and good fortune I at last set eyes on the record of the first marriage of which any record is preserved at Gretna. The date is 1771, or but 17 years subsequent to the passage of Lord Chancellor Hard wicke's English marriage act, and it is not unlikely that this one was the first; the heralding of the ludicrous adventures of the parties to the same being quite sufficient for directing attention to a new way of escape from the rigors of English marriage laws. The young man and woman who at this date attained bliss by the Gretna route we're John Edgar, St. Mary's parish, and Jean Scott, of the parish of Hetherel, both in the adjoining English county of Cumber land. These two, tradition hath it, instead of coming by coaeh-and-four over the old post route from Carlisle, escaped their rela tives by boat across the Solway; were upset by storm and an incoming tide, whose vio lence drowned one oi their pursuers and caused the others to abandon the chase; the couple themselves barely escaping with their lives; and, bedracgled in brine and sand, finally made their way on foot from Brew houses, where they reached shore on the Scottish side, to the safe haven of Gretna Green. OEETNA'S TIBST BISHOP. This marriage, as well as thousands fol lowing, was performed by Joseph Paisley, who from this date until the time of his death, in 1814, a period of 43 years, was the most notorious, it not noted, man in Scot land, as well as the most execrated single individual known to the annals of English social anathema. Prom all accounts this Joseph Paisley was an odd character. He was of unusual height and frame, and was accorded one of the strongest men in Scot land. He was a tobacconist not a black smith, as according to general literary tra ditionand presided over the destinies of an insignificant licensed depot for tea, to bacco and snuff, where also smuggled whisky was to be had by the "muckle right sort" who could be trusted. Gretna Green then, as now while the western end of Springfield village, consisted of not more than a half-dozen houses: a little cluster of buildings about the olden farmstead of Meg's hill. There was the res dence of Colonel Maxwell, an extensive land owner, the old straw-thatched kirk with its little kirkyard in which I now find headstones in memory of Paisley and his successors as "Bishop of Gretna," as they were each styled, the parish manse behind the kirk, a carpenter's shop, a cottage or two, and the vile little shop of Paisley. The man was so grossly ignorant that he could scarcely write his name, but was still possessed of much canny shrewdness and cunning. He is credited with tremendous feats of strength, and with his two hands he could straigthena horse shoe in its cold state. He was also the possessor ot such stentorian lnngs that his helloa could be heard further than any post horn in use be tween Carlisle and Glasgow; while he was the most capable drinker then known jn Scotland no little tribute at any time to bibulous prowess. As his fame and income increased, he became a tremendous mass of fat, and, while ' never known to be drunk, consumed two English quarts of brandy daily. The fact is of record that on one oc casion he sat down with a bottle companion on Monday morning to an anker of cognac, and without aid in its drinking, or at any time being, intoxicated, they kicked' the empty cask out of the door on the succeed ing Saturday. SOON BECAME rAEMERS. The outcry throughout England over the Edgar-Scott marriage in 1791 simply re sulted in turning the attention of countless other couples to Gretna, and the insignifi cant hamlet instantly became famous. Paisley was threatened with all manner of harm, upon which he set Scotland and En gland at defiance, all of which gave him added importance and dignity. He was canny enough to secure the highest Scotch legal advice, and immediately settled the form of procedure according to law, by at testing marriages simply as a witness. The absolute- legality of these Gretna marriages thus established and advertised, their renown ana that of the man Paisley completed the essentials for acquainting every soul in England with the extraordi nary opportunities offered for evading En glish law; Paisley gave up the selling of tea, tobacco, and snuff for the more lucra tive vocation of self-constituted "Bishop of Gretna;" the Maxwell residence was trans formed into a commodious inn; extra relays of horses and chaises for use of pursued and pursuers were noon in requisition at con venient points for an hundred miles' dis tance south of Carlisle, in England; and a fioodtide set in toward this little Scottish hamlet which, in its aggregate of throbbing hearted humans, far exceeded the mightiest army that Scottish or Saxon king ever hurled against enemy across this weird old Scottish border.

WHITE KID SHOESON SHALL BARB FEET rCOBBXSFOSSIHCS OT TUX DISPATCH. 1 La T?az, Bolivia, July,, 1890. There is a Spanish proverb which says: "Musics, met y la ventana, Noesbuenaen la manana," meaning that music, honey and standing in the window are indulgences not good for the early part of the day. Notwithstanding the injunction, let us step out on our hotel balcony, which overlooks the central plaza of this queer old town, to enjoy the street scenes and morning sunshine. The "City of Peacel'.' Gazing at the stupendous mountains which stretch away to the horizon on every side, one ceases to wonder at its strange title, remembering that when those early Spaniards explored these barren heights in search of gold and vnconquered Indians and found this green and cup-like hollow, they were glad to rest here awhile from their journeying. This led to the establishment of a military post, which afterwards grew into a city, and in 1548 Don Alonzo de Mendozo, who seems to have had a streak of poetry in his sordid soul,' solemnly christened it Nuestro Sen ora de la Paz, ''Our Lady of the Peace." The name was changed some 65 years ago, just after tbe decisive battle of Ayacucho, by means of which Bolivia gained her in independence from Spain, the final treaty of peace being celebrated here, to La Paz de Ayacucho. And certainly the very spirit of peace, or rather of idleness, seems brood ing over the scene. Because ot tbe great elevation, about 13,000 feet above sea level, everybody moves about slowly who moves at all, for that distressing complaint known as sirrocbenor difficulty of breathing, is sure to follow active exerecise. NEITHER "WTXTEB HOB 8UMMEB. Away up here winter and summer are much alike, for though completely sheltered by mountain walls from all the winds that blow, the air has in it the chill of tbe near by snowfields. Out of doors in the middle of the day it is tolerably comfortable, but the houses, not one of which has any sort of apparatus for warming purposes, are damp, and cold as so many tomDs, except in rooms which are thoroughly penetrated by the mid-day sun. Imagine a civilized commu nity where water freezes at night and frosts are frequent depending solely upon the sun for heat, especially as in this altitude that orb is more inconsistent than the moon, sometimes refusing to show its face for days together! "Summer clothes" are never re quired in Xa Paz. Everybody wears his overcoat at all seasons, and needs it much more indoors than out. But there are compensations everywhere for most of the ills of life, and one with an eye to tbe picturesque may find them even in La Paz. Directly opposite our window sky-piercing Illimani, the giant sentinel of the Andes, looms up like a sheeted ghost, white as unsullied snow can make it; while on every hand, stretching far as the eye can reach, are lines of mountains rising tier above tier to the horizon golden-green on tbe snnny foot-hills, amethyst and brown be yond them and the distant heights a misty blue. On a narrow street rises the President's palacio three-storied, the lower story of hewn stone left in its natural color, the up- Eer part painted pale' blue. Its windows ave neither outer nor inner shutters, but each is guarded bv an iron-rail balcony. Bed-tronsered soldiers are lolling all day before its entrance.-and above them floats tbe flag of Bolivia, three equal stripes, red, yellow and green, with the national escutch eon stamped in the middle. There are few hours in the 24 when some military com pany is not parading, or band playing be fore the President's casa. Tbe Plaza Mayor of La Paz, likethat of other Spanish-American cities, is its principal feature, from which all things radiate. Its entire surface is paved with small stones set in a regular pattern of diagonal bars, as are the streets immediately surrounding it, the figures rendered more pronounced by alternating black and white stones, the former brought from an island in Lake Titicaca. Bows of little trees, most of them dead or dying, lan guish between the stones, and tbe whole is surrounded by a high adobe wall. PICTURESQUE STEEET SCENES. The street of La Paz, winding up and down the hills, are remarkably steep and irregular, all paved with small, sharp stones, many of them having sidewalks so narrow that two pedestrians can hardly walk abreast. Looking down at the one which passes immediately below us we see that it descends a sharp hill, at tbe foot of which are crowds of people. Should you brave tbe danger of sirroche and venture down there, you will find all manner of commod ities spread out for sale on both sides of the walk for several squares, up and down the four streets that diverge from the market house. Sunday morning early is the best time to go, for in these countries everything is seen at its best on that day of the week. There are fish from Lake Titicaca, mutton and bee'f from tbe Andean plateau, fruits and vegetables from the Yungas and other distant valleys. Tb'ere is Indian work of many kinds, notably knitted cap of brilliant color, mittens that draw on over hands and arms to the shoulders and 1 1 are fastened together at the back, ponchos that rival the rainbow in hues, and ready-made garments of every de scription, from ox-eyed sandals to tbe ' big sleeved, splendidly embroidered velvet jackets of the festive cholos. Searching among the smaller booths one may pick up veritable curios, in tbe way of tiny idols from the Inca ruins, stuffed armadillos, musical instruments made by the Indians, which it would be no sin to worship they being not in the likeness of anything in the heavens above ortbeearthbelow, the strange ornaments of macaw feathers which, they wear at the annual religious fiestas of Co pacabana, and tiny still-born vicunas for use in some of their superstitious ceremonies. There are handsome straw baskets, too, most of them bearing in blood-red letters the words: Viva ml amor "Long live my love;" trunks of black or white rawhide, the hair side turned outward and lined with soft snowy kid: tiger and vicuna skins, and the fleeces of alpaca and llamas. Tne vicuna furs are especially desirable for rugs or carriage robes. They sell here for from 510 to $20, according to size and quality, but bring in New York and other places from $50 to JlOO each. The river Chiqulapo runs through the" middle of La Paz a noble stream fed from the surrounding mountains and spanned by a number of fine old bridges. Most of the houses are built of stone, instead of the .usual adobe, the facades of many being or namented witn carving or stucco work. There are 15 churches of considerable size, some of them picturesque in the extreme, and a number of old monasteries and con vents, most of the latter being now used for schools, military barracks and similar pur poses. There is a free school system here and a rather celebrated university sustained by the Government. Tbe big cathedral, built entirely of stone, has a beautifully carved front, and in a niche over its main entrance stands a figure of the Virgin, which was presented to the city by Carlos V. of Spain, and was transported thither from the seaboard over the mountains at enormous cost. It is said that more than 40 years were required to build the church, several hundred men being con stantly employed. We do not wonder at that if the account -of a recent historian is true, Hs says: "No derricks or other ma chinery were used in its construction, but the walls were constructed in a curious way. As fast as a tier oC stone was laid the earth iwsibanktd up against it, inside and out tide, tad upon tbU Ucllitd plans tha ifcai 34 HTTSBUEG DISPATCH, for the next tier wererolled Into their places. Then more earth was thrown on and the process repeated, until, when the walls were finished, the whole building was immersed in a mountain of dirt This was allowed to remain until the roof was laid, when the earth was carried away on tbe backs of llamas and men. It is said to have taken 13 years to clear out the inside of the build ing, as the earth could only be taken awav through the narrow window doors." SUNDAY FOB PLEASTJEE. Although one sees so many ragged and wretched specimens of the genus homo upon the streets, and business, education and everything else are at so low an ebb, there is considerable wealth in,La Paz, among the numerically small "upper cjassl" Upper tendom cannot drive around in carriages on account of the steep and stony streets, but one may see its representatives out on horse back in the morning, or sauntering in the beautiful Alameda about 4 o'olock ,P. NM. On Sunday afternoons that fashionable re sort is crowded with all classes, sitting on adobe benches under its rows of fine trees, listening to the music of military bands, or drinking'cervasa (native beer) from a near by fondiu. There is a beantiful alabaster fountain in tbe Alameda, a big stone idol from tbe region of Lake Titicaca and other objects of interest; but nothing more inter esting than tbe ever-changing panorama of human beings and the view from its walls of the crooked streets, tiled roofs and queer towers of the old city. A group of Indians from over the Sierras have just come to town with their tronp of llamas and seated themselves to rest on the stones of the street with their weary backs against the plaza wall. Poor things! More than halt naked, dirty, frowzy, utterly hopeless ot anything better in this world, nobody knows how many miles those bare feet hare trotted. Most of- the llamas are laden with snow-ice from the upper Andes, which is in great demand at the saloons and restaurants. The ice is tied up in blankets, and although there is nothing between the chilly bundle and the back of the animal but a folded sheepskin, we notice that they seem more uncomfortable without the ac customed burden than with it. Indians abound this morning, if possible, in greater number and variety of costume than usual; and every one is driving a heavily'ladea mule or llama, or carries a load on his or her back. There goes one staggering under a load of planks; another has four sacks on his back; another trots off with a big trunk that weighs him nearly to the ground; and there is a woman in total eclipse, so to speak, nothing but her bare feet and ankles being visible beneath the bundle of alfalfa heaped upon her head. PEETTT WOMEN THESE. In strong contrast to the patient and hard-working Indians, who are imposed upon by everybody and iu ,every way, are the Cholos, or half-breeds a class nearly as numerous, but very different in manner and appearance, being noisy, sauey and inde pendent; by no means a desirable class of citizens. Of course'there are notable excep tions; but, as a rule, they lie, cheat, steal 'like magpies, and can never be depended upon to carry out a bargain. Some of the young women are very handsome while young, in a coarse way, lint most of them are thoroughly bad. They are generally short in stature, inclined to stoutness, with bold, black eyes, perfect teeth and very heavy hair. All are excessively fond of bright colors, and possess the secret of dye ing them. Their dress is peculiar. Here comes one who Is a fair sample, out for a paseo, or promenade. She wears such a number of skirts as to give them a bell-shaped outline, as though worn over a hoop. Tbe outer one is canton flannel, made wooly side out,- a gorgeous yellow of indescribable tint, between Balnion and orange. Below it the white lace of the next skirt hangs down about an eighth of a yard. All the skirts are made short enough to show an inch or two of bare brown leg (she wears no hose) above the tops oi her white kid boots. Sbe always wears two shawls never by any chance, whatever the weather, appearing in one only. The lower one, a delicate rose pink, is put on somehow so that the point comes directly iu front, like an apron, extending nearly to the hem of her skirt; while the outer shawl, a roval puiple with green flowers iu the border, has the point behind, and is fastened together at the bosom with a cluster of silver pins, hitched together at the ends with white strings. Her enormously long ear-rings, reaching almost to the shoulders, are set with, imitation pearls; and on her head is jauntily perched a white straw hat of the "sailor" shape, much too small, with a blue ribbon tied around it, Just behind her saunters another woman oi the same class, but probably 20 years older. Her hat is precisely the same in shape and size as that of her predecessor; her ear-rings are the hoops of filigree silver, as large as the rim of a trade dollar; her outer skirt is rose color, with some wide hand-embroidery in a sprawling pattern hanging down below it. Her shawls are respectively magenta and green, and her ex tremely high-heeled boots are satin, once white, but now much the worse for wear and J icar. juviv urcssca ivt uaua auu ucati uu- cations are very gay and often costly. The Zamacueca is their favorite dance, and one can seldom pass a Chicha shop without hearing the strumming of guitars or mando lins within, and the clatter of heels iu time to the "hi-diddle-diddle" music, of that na tional measure. SUBE OP A "SVEDDIKO PEAST. "When a Cholo girl marries, her god mother, who is usually a lady ot the upper class for whom her mother or herself has been a servant, pays for the first day's feast ing and first night's ball. The groom's father then feels called upon to iurnish en tertainment for the next 24 hours; followed by the bride's father for the third day and night, after which the two mothers-in-law chip in together and keep it up as long as their means will allow; thus making sure of food and'fun for at least a week. HarkI strange music is heard at a dis-' tance, the most weird and gruesome that can be imagined, coming nearer and nearer. "We recognize it as that which accompanies the Holy Host procession on its way to ad minister the last sacrament to some dying Eerson. Presently the tinkling of a bell is eard, and every one drops upon his knees, wherever he may be or what doing. In the streets, the shops, the horse-cars, the bal conies, everybody is kneeling the red trousered soldiers, in front of the execntive mansion, ladies on their way to church, school children, men of business, tbe sau ciest Cholo and most ignorant Indian, all with reverent miem and uncovered heads. Around the corner comes a wonderful pa-, geant, enveloped in clouds of incense, headed by a boy ringing a bell, and followed by a military band with brass instruments. In the center, nnder a splendid canopy of cloth and gold, walks the bishop, attended by blacK-gowned priests, acolytes in scarlet and lace, white-robbed monks of San Mer ced, and gray-cowled Franciscan friars. These processions are matters of every day in all South American cities! but for us they possess a Singular fascination, and we are willing to kneel with the multitude, earnestly hoping that the mysterious sacra ment may carry consolation to some poor soul in its last extremity, or at least to those who have loved its eartblv tenement.

Fastors Returning From Summer Vacations Prepared to PUT FORTH SOME EXTRA EFFORTS. The Great Drain of Tltal Force quent Upon Falpit Labors. Consa- GLEANINGS FROM OQUE0H FIELDS The preachers are already returning from their summer vacations, and by another week no donbt all will be at their posts, re freshed and fully equipped for the fall and winter campaign against the enemy of souls. The preaching ot September should be the best of the year. Ministers who have en joyed, the pure mountain air, the Atlantio surf or travels in the old world, and escaped the sweltering dog days, which ordinary mortals were compelled to endure in this latitude, will certainly be able to furnish their congregations something above the ordinary fare for a month or two to come. There is no calling in life that makes stronger demands on vital forces than that of the minister. In pulpit work there is as much need of vigorous physical powers as vigorous mental powers. The preacher of low vitality and weak constitu tion is of all men to be pited. The drain on .vital force In the ordinary Sunday work of a minister is great and only the most robust are able lo do the work successfully. THE PASTOR'S BLUE MOKDAT. A pastor who has been in tha harness for a quarter of a century or more, said recent ly: "The people have little conception of the exhaustion which follows the Sunday's work of an earnest preacher. Blue Monday is a subject of ridicule and the majority of people imagine that- the preacher has a soft snap. The fact is, I do not get over the ex haustion from Sunday's work before "Wednesday. A man stimulated up to the highest pitch of nervous excitement every week as I am finds it hurts to get down to the common level of being. I was once at a ministers' meeting on a Monday when a general experience wasi given. One brother said he always felt just as well on Monday as any day of the week, as he took care to keep cool and quiet in his Sabbath work. He was the exception, and if his congrega tion had been interviewed it would have been discovered that flock as well as shep herd were very little stirred by the preach ing. Easy preaching generally proves hard hearing. A BTCH CHURCH. The Church of England is certainly not lacking in the sinews of war.

De Witt Talmage, of Brooklyn, is to enter Union Theological Seminary at the next term. Bishop Elite, of Jerusalem, says that the return of Jews to the Holy Land is remark able. In 1841 there were only 8,000 Jews in Palestine. In 1883 they numbered 23,000, but now, nearly 70.000, nearly double the numDer that returned from the Babylonish captivity. According to the Boston Herald a steamer bound for the west coast of Africa bad on board 14 missionaries, 460 tons of gunpowder 11 cases of gin and 10,000 casks of rum. This is an apt representation of the proportion of tbe civilizing and uncivillzing agencies which Christian nations are sending to tbe dark conti nent.

Louie Has a Hard Time Trying to Find One. Where have all the canteens gone to? asks Captain William McClelland, not the Pittsburg veteran, in the St. Louis Globe Democrat. I mean the round, flat old friend that fought on both sides of the war, and which carried water when we couldn't get whisky. I wanted one the other day to present to my friend im Bannerman, to carry with him to the Confederate Beunion at Nevada. For two days I hunted high and low. Guns, sabers and bayonets I could find by the hundred, but no canteens. At last I met an old German veteran down in South St. Louis who, by mere acci dent, had preserved his and a cloth-covered battered old affair it was. He had found it convenient to carry his wet gro ceries in while on fishing excursions, and I only got him to part with it after much per suasion. I have been told that the battered old canteen created more enthusiasm among the old soldiers than the bnllet-ridden flags, or wallets filled with Missouri defense war rants, which were exhibited at Nevada.

"When I first made up my mind to consult Dr. By ers." says Mr. Learzaf. who is a tinner bv occupation and lives at 485 Forbes avenue, "I said to myself, if I am so fortunate as to get relief I will never permit my name to appear in the papers; but wben a few weeks ago Dr. Byers told me I needn't continue the treat ments any longer, as my nose and throat were entirely well, and suggested that I allow him to publish my case as encouragementto others, I remembered that it was through the testi monials of others that induced me to take treatment, and I felt so grateful for tbe bene fit derived tbat 1 said: '60 ahead. If It will point tbe way to some other fellow-sufferer afflicted as I was.' Mr. Geo. J. Learzaf, l&S Forbes Ave. "My principal trouble was my stomacb. I was continually rifting, had pains and cramps, tongue always coated, and a foul taste in my mouth, especially in moraine 1 also bad pains over my eyes, ringing In the ears, nostrils clogged up nrsi on one side then the other, and a hawking and spitting up of a tough mucus. I had tried almost everything I could tblnk of myself and was suggested by friends, till I was discouraged. When Dr. Byers examined my nose and throat he said that all tbe trouble was caused by catarrh, and that I might swallow enough medicine to float a ship and would never get better without tbe aid of local treat ments. I put myself under bis treatment and soon learned by experience tbat bis theory was correct, as I noticed a decided change from tha first, and continued to improve, till now I am entirely well and glad to mako this statement in favor of bis treatment."

A lady patient from Beaver Falls writes: '1 have observed instructions in regard to treat ment faithfully as possible and must say I bave revelveu benetlt beyond my most sanguine ex pectations. Tbe noises tbat troubled me so long bave almost entirely ceased through tha day onlv while eating or drinking: but they are still bad at night, but bave so diminished that they are not so worrying. I bare hopes that your treatment, if persistently followed, will have the desired effect." TREATMENT $5 A XONTXT, MEDICEIE nr CLUDED. Almost every day I hear of persons who would like to take treatment of me. but they fear my terms are too low to permit of good' work. To sucb patient I wish to say this: In terview any person who was ever treated a month or more by me and by other physicians the same length nf time, and I will cheerfully abide by the result. My early training as a druggist taught me how to compouna medi cines at the least possible cost, and as I nny at wholesale. I get tbe lowest obtainable price. My monthly drug bills amount toasmnchas that ot some retail drug stores. In conclusion, my treatment Is for tbat class of people who earn their money by bard work and appreciate the value of a dollar. I am doing work equal tbat wblcb some physicians charge from $20 to $50 per month lor. as will be vouched for by scores of patient'. Office of Dr. Byers. successor to Drs.
