A DISTURBANCE IN CHURCH.
AN IUKEVFKEXT CLUCKER.
The have hal more trouble at our
Methodist meeting-house. Last Sunday
Rev. Mr. Moody was just beginning his
sermon, and had uttered the words,
"Brethren, I wish to direct your attention
this morning to the fourth verse of the
twentieth chapter of Saint " when a
hen emerged from the recess !eneath the
pulpit. As she bad just laid an og, she
interrupted Mr. Moody to announce the
fact to the congregation ; and he stopped
short as she walked out iuto the aisle,
sereaching : Kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-to-ko !
Kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-to-ko !" Mr. Moody
contemplated her for a moment, and then
concluded to go on ; but the sound of his
voice seemed to provoke her to rivalry,
and so she put on a pressure of five or six
pounds to the square inch, and made such
a racket that the preacher stopped again
and said :
"Will Deacon Grimes please remove
that disgraceful chicken from the meeting
house." The deacon rose and proceed with the
task, lie first tried to drive her toward
the door, but she dodged hint, and, still
clucking vigorously, got her under the
seat in the front pew. Then the deacon
seized his umbrella and scooped her out
into the aisle again, after which he tried
to "shoo" her toward the door ; but she
darted iuto a pew, hopped over the parti
tion, came down in the opposite pew and
iu the side aisle making a noise like a
steam planing mill. Tlie deacon didn't
like to climb over after her, so he went
round, and just as he got into the side
aisle the hen llew over into the middle
aisle again. Then the boys in the gallery
laughed, and the deacon began to grow
red in the face.
At last Mr. Binns came out of his pew
to help, and both he and the deacon made
a dash at the chicken from opposite direc
tions, and she flew up with a wild cluck
to the gallery and perched on the edge,
while she gave excited expression to her
views by emitting about five hundred
clucks a minute. The deacon flung a
hymnbook at her to scare her down again,
but he missed her and hit Billy Jones, a
Sunday-school scholar, in the eye. Then
another boy in the gallery made a dash
at her, aud reached so far over that he
tumbled and fell on Mrs. Miskcy's new
bonnet, whereupon she said that he was
predestined for the gallows. The crash
scared the hen, and she flew over and
roosted on the stovepipe that ran along
just under the ceiling, fairly howling with
lri'jrht. In order to bring her down the
deacon and Mr. Binns both beat on the
lower part of the pipe with their um
brellas, and at the fifth or sixth knock the
pipe separated and about forty feet of it
came down with a crash, emptying a par
rel or two of soot over the comrresration.
There were women in that congregation
who went home looking as if they had
been working in a coal mine, and wishing
they could stab Deacon Grimes without
being hung for murder. The hen came
down with the stovepipe, and, as she flew
by Mr. Binns, he made a dash at her with
his umbrella and knocked her through a
fifteen-dollar pane of glass, whereupon
she landed in the street, and hopped off
clucking insanely. Then Mr. Moody ad
journed the congregation. They arc going
to expel the owner of that hen from the
church when they discover his identity.

A Venerble Tree Toad.
At Lexington, Ky., a few days ago, a
remarkable discovery of a living frog in
the heart of a larirc tree was made. A
section of a sycamore tree, four feet in
diameter and three feet wide, iuteucd for
a butcher's block, was cut into two equal
sections with a cross-cut saw, thus mak
ing two blocks of the same size. Iu the
centre of the tree an irregular fissure, was
discovered which measured six inches in
length and three-eights of an inch wide,
and extended into each block, One of
the blocks was placed ujon its end, the
newly cut surface being uppermost. One
of the workmen happening to look into
the narrow crack, noticed the green and
slimy surface of what he supposed was a
snake. Having procured a small stick,
he thrust it into the orifice, when a green
frog jumped out, and fell, apparently life
less, upon the surface of the block. In u
few minutes it commenced to breathe.
The pulsations of the blood could be
plainly seen on the under surface of the
throat, and it soon revived. It was placed
in a glass jar half filled with water, when
it immediately climbed tip the slippery
surface and t-tuek to the side of the glass,
where it could be plainly observed. Its
back was bright green, and the uuder part
of the body was of a pale blue, like the
colorless appearance of vegetables which
have grown in a dark cellar. It was about
three inches in length, and was evidently a
tree frog (rana hyta.) At latest reports
it was still alive, and made the nights
melodious with its tinging. Lexington

Our National Future.
We give the following short extract from
Dan. Dougherty's new lecture :
"I may be asked the remedy. Direful con
clusion ; alas ! there is none If the people
cannot stand the pressure if they give way
this collossal republic, and every pillar
that props the mighty fabric, will sooner or
later crumble andlall with a crash that will
strike the loud earth breathless. Yet do you
expect to see all nature convulsed, warning
you of coming danger ? Do you expect to
see the heavens darkeued, as at your Sa
viour's death? No, trade may "flourish,
the marts be crowded with customers, the
sea white with ships, the valleys flaming
with verges, yet the spirit of your institu
tions may have fled forever. The sun
shines as brightly to-day over the ruined
Acropolis at Athens as over the dome of
the Capitol of Washington.
All history is ablaze with proof of the
mutability of nations. Do you need an ad
monition within the memory of a child ?
Eight years ago imperial France was the
arbitres of Europe, her monarch's nod made
peace or war, prosperity reigned through
out the realm, her cities were beautiful,
her splendid capital was crowded with
st rangers from the extremities of the earth,
kings were entertained with a magnificence
unparalleled, her boundless treasures were
displayed in the gorgeous Exposition, and
all the world wondered ! Where is she
now ? Her glories sunk in blood at Sedan,
her armies surrendered, her capitol cap
tured, the Emperor died in exile, and the
Empire passed away like an exhalation !
You will tell me this was the fully of her
people, the corruption of her officials, aud
the blunders of her men. If so, take heed,
the like causes may produce like results. I
take back what 1 have said. There is a
remedy. It is the people. You and you,
and you, and I, aud all of us. Under God
the people here are omniptcnt. They have
made the republic, they alone can preserve
it.
Think not less of me, my countrymen,
that I have purposely paintod the dark side
of the picture spots, if you will upon our
sun your pride of country may be equal
but cannot excel my own. Oh, when I
recall the countless glories of my native
land, my soul expands in ecstasy ! It is the
very intensity of my love that dread the
possibility of danger. 3Iy aim has been
not to weaken fairh in free institutions but
to incite a more ardent love of country to
show that our perils are not from without
less a sentiment but mere a duty, that its
highest expression is to be found not iu the
barbaric courage of the battle, but the en
lightened exercise of the ballot to show
that while the republic breathes aspira
tions the most noble its facilities embolden
the most depraved while capable of trans
cendent achievements for good, its simplest
functions may work gigantic evils that
while it fosters the genius that will immor
talize, it breaths the infamy that may de
stroy. The down lull of this republic would
be a calamity to mankind it would dim
the future of the world. We, the people
of all parties, are the custodians of Ameri
cans' liberty ; through us to be transmit
ted to postority if we be faithless to the
sublime trust future ages will groan for
this foul act. Let us own the past and
pledge the future.
A Reign of Terror.
HOW THE TOWN Ok' KEARNEY IS RUN BY
THE JAMES liOYS FIFTEEN TROMINENT
CITIZENS ORDERED TO LEAVE THE
PLACE BEFORE THE IItU OF JUNE.
The Atchison (Kan.) Champion of the
1 th, ult. says : To the unprejudiced ob
server it would look as though the old days
of lawlessness had returned to Western
Missouri. The law seems to have no pow
er to protect the citizens of that part of the
state, and especially in Clay County and
Kearney, which has the unpleasant notoriety
of being the home and habitation of those
precious villains, the James boys. The in
habitants of this small and peaceful village
stand, in perpetual fear oftheo despera
does, whose will is law in all things. When
they feci so disposed they act in the capa
city of may or, police, judge, jury and exe
cutioner. "Tis but short time ago since we chron
icled the fact of the murder of Mr, David
Askew, who was shot down in his own
dooryard without warning, his only crime
being that he was a Union man and a quiet
citizen. On the night of tho murder the
perpetrators of the deed called at the re
sidence of a neighbor, called him out, told
him what they had dono, saying, however
that it was the work of the detectives, and
gave him permission to bury the body, with
the provison that he would fipd it to his
interest to leave the town as soon as pos
sible. Since that bloody night, when the
house of the mother, Mrs. Samuels, was
fired and that lady wounded, tho boys have
been especially vindictive to warn all Union
men living in the town, and have uotified
fifteen of the more prominent citizens to
leave. One gentleman, whose name we
withhold by request, upon being so notified,
wished to sell his property there, and, find
ing a buyer, called upon a notary to get tho
necessary papers made out, at the same
time asking the latter to accompany him to
where the land lay, about six miles from
the place.
Although armed, the time broad day-
light, the notary positively refuted, saying
that he would not go there lor fdl tho land
in Clay county, becausa ho had n tome
way incurred the anger of the brothers,
and was in fear cf being put cut of the
way. He subsequently left Kearney, and
will in all probability" never return. A
Mr. Green, who was at one time attorney
f jr the detectives, was also forced to flee for
his life, and told that if he was ever seen
in those parts again, certain death would
be the result. The telegraph operator at
Kearney, Wheat, has also been unable to
retain his position there, and has resigned,
his only fault being that he was obnoxious
to the James. Also the conductor who had
charge of the caboose which brought the
detectives from Kearney, on the Hannibal
& St. Joe railroad, received the customary
note of warning, and being a prudent man.
obeyed it, and has noY been seen in that
vicinity.
TO AVOID CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
By contagious diseases are meant such
as may be propagated by touch, or by be
ing in the direct presence of the patient
himself, or from some material derived from
him. such as scarlet fever, small pox, etc.
Infectious diseases are produced by some
noxious matter in the atmosphere not pro
duced or augmented by the bod y itself; of
such are ague, typhoid fever, etc. In the
latter class of diseases the necessary pre
cautions are to try and change the charac
ter of the surrounding air by enforcing
strictly sanitary laws ; which is iu a great
measure different from the course to be
taken iu avoiding contagious diseases. This
consists chiefly in the shunning of all un
necessary contact with the sick and ia de
stroying all noxious materials thoy create.
Whenever we see a person sick with a con
tagious disease, no excessive fears should
be allowed to occupy the mind. It is
wholly needless, and more than this, it pre
diposes the system to the disease ;t so much
dreads, by diminishing its tone. A irood
plau is to eat or drink something before
entering the sick room, as it is supposed
that when the stomach is acting the catch
ing position is to a certain extent repelled,
heuce after meals would be the time to
choose.
Some think or believe that the virus of
a sick room is introduced into the system
through the spittle coming in contact, with
the poisonous air and then swallowed.
Therefore it would be well to eject and not
to swollow it. Cleanliness is a good pre
ventive to contagion, those exposed should
take a bath morning and evening ; also
change clothes daily.
After leaving the sick room, take a brisk
walk, as this will excite nerve force and
air the clothes. It is not avcII to sleep in
the room with a person having a contagious
disease. Therefore, when called upon to
watch a night with the sick which every
humane person is, and others ought to be,
willing to do it is well to take a book and
try and keep awake all night. For when
asleep the system is relaxed, thus offering
less resistance to contagion. Certain odors
arc also beneficial as preventative as cam
phor, hartshorn, vinegar and many other
substance?, although modern science has
branded them as popular delusion.
Science has introduced disinfectants
which deserve great merit. Of these the
carbolic acid is deemed best of all ; an ounce
may be put in a gallon of water, and then
used by sprinkling. Among others alwavs
at hand are wood charcoal, quicklime and
fresh earth.
A Wooden Hand Growing Out of a Grave.
On Monday our city was unusually ex
cited by the exhibition in the Conricr-Hcr-aid
office of a hand of wood which grew
out of a grave near Yorkville, Gibson coun
ty. It was brought into ourothee by Capt.
G. S. Andrew of that county, who gives
us its history. William Herron was out
walking with his wife one Sunday evening
not long ago, and in passing an old, neglec
ted graveyard near the public road she saw
a gum bush with a bunch of mistletoe on
iu top and requested her husband to get it
for her. He cut the tup off the buh and
commenced breaking oil tho mistletoe, when,
to his surprise and terror, he discovered
that the wood uuderneath presented the
pcrfeet form of a human hand. Capt . An
drews, hearing of the wonderful discovery,
went to the house of Mr. Herron, who,
feeling rather uncomfortable over the
thought that he cut it from a grave, aud
perhaps, some theory as to its supernatural
significance, very willingly let Capt. An
drews have it. The buh from which it was
cut was six feet high, and the hand was on the
top. pointing upwards, presenting the position
of the minister's hand when pronouncing a
benediction. It is about the size of a six-year-old
child's hand, with long, deader
fingers like those of a person vory much
emaciated by sickness. The wood has en
larged formations on each of the fingers
and the thumb, representing and corres
ponding with the joints of the human hand.
The most remarkable feature about it is
the natural appearance of the naiL, Thoy
had a kind of llckh color, and the rest of
tho hand, where the bark had been entire
ly removed, looks ghastly white. Mr. An
drews says the grave from which it was cut
is supposed to be the grave of a. very de
vout Methodist minister by the name of
Butcher, who was buried there many years
ago. Jackson Miss., Courier Herald.
A chicken hatched at Kcnuett Square,

bills, two combs, and three eyes, one of the
eyes being in the forehead. It lived but a

Haking Them Smart.
"Look here, Henry, do you kwow wlv.it
makes these piga look mj lean V" "Ye,
sir, I do. I made them look that way my
self, sir," "What 1 Do you mean to tell me
that you keep them from their feed, after
my giving you orders to be careful and feed
them well !" "No, not. exactly that ; but
you S'e I read in a book that the best way
to feed pigs aud make them smart was to
give them plenty to eat ono day. and noth
ing the next, as that is the "best way to
bring them up and it makes nicer meat."
"How does it make nicer meat, you voting
fool !" demanded the now exasperated far
mer, seeing that his pigs that he took prid
in raising, were being half starved. "We'd,
the book said to feed them one day that
makes a stroak of fat and give them noth
ing the next day that makes a .streak of
lean ; and that's the way like pork."
"What book did you learn that i:i ?"" asked
the farmer. "Why, in that old almanao
that hangs in the kitchen." ; ()h," said the
farmer, "that's so. There's a g..d many
things in that book ; but hereafter 1 want
3'ou to feed the pigs as I tell yi.ii. and I
will attend to the reading matter." Henry
was surprised to see 1 he la vie loaded that
day, and the farmer telling him to eat
plenty. lie did not know what to make
of it until the next morning, when he was
kept waiting for his breakfast until eleven
o'clock, aud could stand it n longer ; up
he went to his employer, and said, "1 ia'y
Mr. W., ain't we going to have any break
fast this morning?" "Well. no." I don't
think we will," replied Mr. W , "You see
it says in that almanac that a piir inwardly
;i the sam as a human being ; and I'm go
ing to try the same plan of getting a streak
of, fat and a streak of lean on my men so
a to ir.ako them half-way smart." If they
have all fat they will he to.) lazy. l on:l.
you think it U a good plan, Henry ?" The
next day that almanac was missing.
Almost a Cure for Consumption.
I will only tell what I know of a woman
who took a heavy cold that settled on her
lung.-. She is getting pretty well up iu
the forties aud inherits a tendency to con
sumption, and one of her children died of
it. Her cough was almost constant, and
that, with pains, lasted, as sdie said, "for
weeks and weeks." After trying many
remedies and getting no permanent relief,
some one told her of linseed oil, which she
took according to directions ; was much re
lieved in a few days and seemed entirely
well in j niQf.fh. That was six months
ago and she has had no return of it and
"feels as Well as ever." She took fifteen
drops of linseed oil on a little brown sugar
three times

stomachs may not be able to bear it, but it.
certainly sounds as palatable as cod liver

the taste out of her month.

ig-tte th? puffering of :my one

der this disease, or threatened with it, T

In conclusion I will say that this patient,
took the linseed oil straight along for a
month. I do not pretend to say that h
will cure a deeply seated ease r any kind
