Union Signal- A True Story. ' A pastor of a church in Dayton, Ohio, related this tale to his people at tho close . of the morning services, a few , weeks since: " "One week ago last Friday a man in this church hired to work for a certain firm in this city, Saturday evening the proprietor said, 'You must come and work to-morrow.' " 'I cannot do that, I go to church on Sabbath " 'If you do not come Sabbath you need not come Monday.' " 'Well, just consider. 1 have been out of work. My wife and three chil dren are hungry. We have had sick ness and a doctor bill is to pay. . I waut work.' ' " 'You must work Sabbatlt or not at all.' ' 'Then, I will not work at all.' "He came to church last Sabbath and told me. I went Monday to the man who had discharged him and said: 'You must come here and work next Sabbath or else stay away altogether.' Well, who own this establishment?' Why, you do J I am not speaking for myself; I am pleading for a man whose wife and children are hungry.' 'I know who you mean; say nothing more. Go tell him to come and I will take him back.' "I went to hunt him. He was wheel in coal from tho street. The work was too heavy for him. He had no break fast and was hungry. He was trying to get bread for his children. He fell be fore I reached him, and soon ho died. I went back to the works and said to the proprietor: 'I came to tell yon that man will not be back.' 'Why?r 'There is a trial on hand and he has been sum moned as a witness.' 'What is the trial for?' 'Murder.' 'Murder! Who is tho murderer?' 'You are the roan. He died of hunger and a broken heart. He hits gone to give his testimony before the Judge above. You will be summoned , presently to answer to the charge of murder.' v 1 , . v Cheap Religion. It is the wretched mistake of many people that theVkSeek for cheap religion. I have heard well-meaning ministers declare that it is "just the easiest thing in the world to become a Christian. They talk as if a gracious God had pro vided a free gospel-train, by which ev erybody who chose to como aboard could be transported on comfortable cushions as "dead-heads" to the Celes tial City! Such cologne-water preach ers utterly ignore that solemn declara tion of our Lord, "Whosoever will not take up hh cross and, follow nie, cannot be my diciple." They make no allowance either far tne stubborn ueuravitv of the human heart, or for the temptations of the devil, or the sin poisoued atmos phere through which every Christian must light his way to the prize of his high calling. "Strut to enter into the straight Tgatfl," is the invitation of our Master, lie knows what it costs, run gently but truly did prand old Samuel Kutherford sav: "Manv Deonle oulv play with Christianity, and take Christ for almost nothing. I pray you to make thoseekingof salvation yourditily work. ye never nan a sick nigtit ana a painod soul for sin, ye have not yet lighted upou Christ. Look to the right marks; if ye love our Saviour boiler than the world, and would quit all for mm, men tiittt provew tiiat the icork is sound" Cheap religion will not stand the pinch of self-denial.

Mr. (iough used to tell tho story of the glib exhorter who boat ed that "his religion cost him only twenty-five cents a year." "The Lord have mercy on your stingy soulf ex claimed the minister. Cheap religion is scrimping the salaries of hard working pastors, i starving mission boards and all Christian charities, and is turning oil the claims of Christ with the candle ends and the cheese-paring. It kills the fatted calf for its own table, and offers the poor "crow bait" for the Load's altar. The punishment of all such petty larbenlos is that their pt'rjM'tra tors boeome mere "crow-baits" them selbes, and never taste the Jov by which liberal souls are made tut. Selected. ONE Of LINCOLN'S EARLY CASES. The Great Ma WhlUUri Utile Win aalll Caavlaoa the Jury. Jo the year 1848 there was a mem rable lawsuit in Chicago between Parker and Jloyt ever the infringe went of a patent right of a water wheel. Adams, Butteitleld aud others were attorneys for the plaintiff and Abraham Lincoln appeared for the defendant. During the progress of the suit John Drink, Kq., now of Crystal Lake, III., chanced to be in the city, and the following Is his account of it: The trial lasted thirteen days aud excited an unusual amount of Interest. When Mr. Brink reached the city he found every one talkiog about the suit aad the great Supreme court lawyer Abraham Lincoln. Judge Drummood of the United States District court pre sided at the trial. He sustained Lin coln In all of his, propositions to the coort, and in all of his objections to the poilllons taken by, the opposing; counsel. In tho course of the trial a flume was made aud water applied to the wheels for the purpose of demonstrat ing to the jurors tne exact facts lu the case. ludinn meal woe thrown into the water to show the jury more clear ly the effect of the water on the wheels. Soon after this experiment bad been made Lawyer Adams said to Mr. lirink: , "Don't you think we have the best of tho case?" Mr. Brink replied: "I do not know that I am a suitable judge, as I did not arrlre here until the suit had been in progress two or threo days. But this man Lincoln seems to hold you live fellows pretty snug." Then Adams said: "I would rather fight every lawyer in the state of Illi nois than Abu Llocoln, because be is a natural man, a natural lawyer, a nat ural mechanic, in fact a uatural any thing, and he knows more about that waterwheel than the man who made it, and I dou't know anything about it." While the attorneys for the plaintiff were making their pleas Lincoln sat there, and, although listening atten tively, whittled out a pine stick about half an inch square and a foot long. From that he cut off two pieces about three inches in length, and with these two pieces he made the wings of a windmill. He fastened them together by running a pin through the center of the two wings aud that pin into the end of the other nd longer stick. After having put It together he blew upon it, and when it worked to his sat isfaction ho took it apart and placed it In his pocket. There were eighty-four witnesses on the two sides, and Mr. Brink thinks that Lincoln took no notes, but trusted wholly to memory. He requested the witnesses to be E resent tluring' his plea, and said it e made any mUtakes in regard to their testimony he wished them to cor rect him. While presenting his side of the case lie took out the above-mentioned windmill from his pocket and. putting it together, blew upon it aud explained it to the Jury. He assure i them that if any infringement had been made Parker had infringed upon the old-time windmill, and that Iloyt had not infringed upon Parker. Ad ams was to make the closing plea, and in Lincoln's speech he anticipated what Adams would say, and by this means weakened the force of his plea. Lincoln won his cuso, nud the jury were out only a little over two hour Curious 1'roaUf. ol' Hteol, The finest grades of razors are so delicate that eve, the famous Damas cus sword blades cau not equal them in texture. It is not generally known that tho crain of a Swedish russor is so sensitive that its general direction is changed after a short service. When you buy a lino razor the grain runs from the upper end of tho outer point in a diagonal direction toward the haudle. Constant strapping will twist the steel until tho gram appears to be straight up and dowu. Subsequent use will drag the graiu outward from the edge, so that after a steady use lor several months the liber of tho steel occupies a position exactly the reverse of that which it did on the day of its purchase. Ihe process also affects tho temper of the blade, nud when the grain sets from the lower outer point toward the buck you have a razor which cun not bo kept in condition even bv the most conscientious barber. Bui here's another curious freak that will take place in the same tool; Leave the razor alone for a month or two and when vou take it up you will find tho irruln has assumed its llrst position The operation cau b'j repealed until tho steel is worn through to ti.o uacii. X Sunken J'Wcat. There is a sunken forest of white cellar in New Jersey which has been continuously "mlued" for its valuable timber for over eighty years. The curious Industry of digging for the sunken logs is carried on by the poo pie of DennlsvllK Uapo May county, a villains which was brought into exist ence solely through the wealth of the buried timber in Its vicinity. Over tho sunken forest trees of largo size are growing, and In many iiiMaucc (Iicno are cut nwav lu order to get nt the mora valuable timber, which lb s only three or four foot below lht surface. All the suukon trees are or enormous si.o. two to five times larger than those now grmtirg on the surface. The exact age In which they lived it a mutter of curious eon jorums, it Is probable that they worn burled many tout unci ago by tho auilon of an eurth iuake. .,!... STANLEY ON ELEPHANTS.

Oh, yrt, i bare killed a good inauy of them." trolled the great explorer, erldently somewhat amused at the question, for it was plumpest at mm as soon as he bad reseated himself after giving the reporter a very cordial greeting nt the Burnet House, lid evidently had expected to be Inter viewed aoout itartieiot ana tna rear guard, or the mystery of Kmln l'silia, aud was pleasantly disappointed, proved to bo the case subsequently. "How have you killed them and how would yen go about It were you going to kill one now?" "Well. I would shoot blui, and as to how I would ge almut It would depend upon the kind of Meishnnt ho was." "Uuildyou kill him Willi one bin letr "I have done It." "It took twruty-three bullets to kill our Zoo elephant. 'Chief," rereullv." "I read something of that.

Then I would huvo shot blm In the forehead, for there In only a short distance to Ihe brain, while with an African elephant on enormous amount of muselo and tissue It piled upon the forehead, and you might shoot Into It all day and never kill him. But a well directed shot In the center of the forehead of Chief, If yon are sure he was an Indian elephant, should have settled blm. And if not, the heart cau always be reached. Yes, behind the ear, too: they are readily killed txt way. ' Why, there is no particular difficulty about killing au elephant if one kuows how to go about "Do you Imagine that Chief suffered much pain wilU all of these bullets in! blmP" J ' Undoubtedly he did. And you mention the fact of his reaching out his trunk in au affectionate or appeal ing way to Hatnee, his mate, who stood near that shows, more than any other way, that ho was suffering, and It shows, too, an affection and sympa thy between the two that one would scarcely imagine they possess. That reaching out hie trunk, and her res ponse, at though a farewell, It cer tainly a very touching thing. , "You ask me if I haven't hunted the elephant in Africa. Well, you know I did oot go there for that purpose, of course 1 had too much else to do and no time to wasttf; but. us I say, I have killed eiephauts and didn't think very much of it, cither. One can't help but run on them, whether he will or no. Why, the natives there will kill them with a spear, or even with a sword. Yes. sir, they will run at them and slash them across the legs and ham string them, aud then pierce them be hind the ear with their swords. A man will get off In front of au elephant aud brandish a shining sword, it Hash es in the elephnnl't eyes and Instantly makes him mad and ho will charge. "As he charges, other natives will rush out of the copse, in flank move meuts, nnd dash at him, and even the mao ahead with the sword will spring aside far enough to get out of the reach of his trunk, nnd as the big fel low goes charging by he will give hliu a sweeping slash ucross the front of the legs and tho elephant it rendered helpless and falls. The natives get wonderfully skillful, sonieiliing after the matador, who lets Hits bull rush nt him full tilt, nnd . then lightly springs aside and thrusts his sharp sword into him. Wheu an elephant charges, ho Is so bulky, you know, that UU mo mentuni carries him directly ahead, and a nimble and practiced mmi cau spring out of his way. But at) ele phiint will overtake a horse, and I have seen them jerk the rider from a horse's back, all going full tilt. "Oh, yes, an elephant is very swift. I have yet to the horse that can get away from on a dead, straight run. And the ...h swim, too. Why, nn elephant will cross a river with only his trunk out of the water three or four inches. All ho has to have Is air, yon know, nnd ho gels it through his trunk. And he will not swim until he has to. But I have seen tho trunk, several of them, just sticking out of the water of a river they were fording. "Then, again, we have floated clown tho Congo in our boats, quietly and without moving a muscle, and we could get within twenty feet of them without attracting their attention or alarm, and then I hare shot them, filled them with one shot that is. one bullet. Sometimes in going through it jungle 1 have come upon them. I remember coming upon one suddenly one day and 1 only had a small Winchester rifle with me, and you can depend upou it 1 backed out as quickly as I could.

"A little of that will go a good ways,' said a gentleman nt dinner at the Paluce Hotel as his teeth carromed n a piece of the Hon of Chief, and he remarked that be wished you were here to cat It." Mr, Stanley smiled and continued talking, for ho was talking lu a strain that was evidently restful m him, "O, now, elephant instl Is not so bad, my boy. It is a litllo course and grainy, but we saw tins time that we thought it thf? sweetest inoi sol wo ever tasted," "Bui the foot, the foot Is really line meat, choice, a delicacy, 'I 'ho tool Is cut off. and you know It is about so round (drawing a clrchi on the table ( loth), say sUlccn Inches, A hole is dug In the ground, it tire set going un til It Is a dHjs bed of coals, Then the foot I put tight diwii !u that holts on the coals, nnd lh wholn Is coveted over with earth, nnd )hi bt It slay them foi lhnty-lt bum, and whtui it couits out j '"in have a choke dellescy indued.

With tho lost of the nntlert Ihe stag will change bit disposition entirely nnd become as d nolle and tractable nt a Jamb, He will show an Inclination In court publlo petting rather than avoid It. He will remain In this condition of temper until the beginning of Miirch, when ho will show a dlspoiltlou lo lin k In sequestered spots of the glen and timidly avoid the presenile of all, even of his kind. During this period, on the spot where the Into millers were, n pair of protuberances will tniike their appunr anee, covered with it soft, dark, vtd vety skin. These will attain a con-Id-erablo growth In a few dsvt. The carotid arteries of these protuberances will enlarge with them In order to sup (ily a tultlclency of nourishment, Vhen the new antlers have attained their full growth, which will bo I ten weeks after the old onet huve been hod, the bony rings at tho base through which the unllert past will begin to thicken, and gradually tilling up will compress the blood vessels aud ultimately obliterate them, The vel vety skin thut surrounds the bone, be lug thut deprived of nourishment, will lose its vitality nud will be rubbed off In shreds by the stag on tho edges of rocks or other hard substances. At toon as the full size of the antlers Is attained the doolie disposition of the elk will disappear and he will become once more for the year the tierce and unfriendly king of the glen. Tho age of the elk, according to wrlteii un natural history, It com puted by tho number of polntt on tho antlers. At tho present time there are six. The next set will bear seven, showing that seven summers have passed since the date of hit birth. m t'rancittio (Jhronklt. A Prlnoe'e Adventnree In Thibet.
