That oft-mooted question may then Le considered o jt of court for the 'present, comments a writer lu the Crit ic. j But there are to other words that seem to be coing the sunie road, and ilik In opposition to all authority, con cerning which I wish to make a few remarks. I meaii tle words evil and devil, which have a tlose relation to tach other in more ways than one. Many of our clergymen have adopted for these words tlie pronunciation of e-vil and dev-il. and I am sorry you say that the dev-il has so got the upper hand that the e-vil is on the Increase, until what was in the beginning only a clerical affectation now bids fair, like Vif Vtoa iba Race r Faar Hour. A rare across J.OfO miles of water for I husband ha Just ended at Ellis Is- and, says an exchange. The race was j oetween Mrs. Franz Molineaux. a de lerted wife, and a young girl. Bertha Veibling.the husband' swteLheart. The ife won the race by four hours, and, ncidentaily, theenlng husband. Mo lineaux had been wealthy In Berlin, tie had married the daughter of a rich train merchant. When he failed in justness he Quarreled with bis wife, for the made some remark about his po? irty which angered him. He left her, laying that he would go to America ind begin life over again. They were proud and she permitted him to go slone, although in her heart she loved :im. The man came over here and by Jard work established himself and wa n receipt of a good salary. He thought sometimes of the woman In Berlin. She was living with her wealthy father, ho was very fond of her. In a spirit jf pique the husband sent across the sea for another woman to share the jome he had made here at 1SG0 Lexing ton avenue.

The other one, Bertha NclD- A WONDERFUL WEDDINO. lallasl ti ling, was a steerage paesenger on me Venetia, from Hamburg. The Venetia sailed first, yet the fast steamer Lahn Deat her into port by four hours, with Mrs. Molineaux In the first cabin. She had little difficulty in Interesting the iuthorities in her case. Detective Pet er Groden found her husband and in formed him that a woman was at Ellis Island waiting to see him, Molineaux wae taken there and the commissioner of Immigration asked him some very searching questions. Then he dis missed him to another room and talked to Mrs. Molineaux. Neither husband nor wife knew of the presence of the other on the leland. They were brought Into the same room. The wife at the Tight of her husband threw her arms about his neck and then fainted. She recovered opportunely and told him how cruelly she had misunderstood him and that she would willingly share poverty and a crust of bread with him. No man could resist talk like that, aio Hneaux kissed her on the forehead and vowed he would be true to her to the end of time. So they went to 1860 Lex ington avenue together, where they will dwell. The other woman? The story is practically finished as far as she is concerned. The Immigration au thorities came to the conclusion that as she had no friends here now and was likely to become a public charge the best thing they could do would be to send her back to Germany. She will go hack In the steerage at once. portions of a popular fashion. Time was when the stage virtually set the standard In the pronunciation of the language, but In these latter days of dramatic degeneracy, when slipshod English and imperfect enunciation seem to be the rule behind the foot lights, the pulpit exerts an equal, if not the greater, influence. It behooves every clergyman, then, to look care fully to his rhetorical ways, lest he teach brtheopic heterodoxy while preaching the soundest of theological orthodoxy. Now, the words in ques tion have been pronounced ever since the English language came into being, simply e-vll and dev-il with the accent on the first syllable; and no amount of mispronunciation can make the one any worse or add any terrors to the other. If our clergymen will only bear In mind that "the e-vll that men do live after them," they will look more care fully In future to their orthoepy and hesitate ere they try to Improve on the good old-fashioned devil of our fathers. Ta Tfcoaaaad t'smpiaa War MtrrUt at Oaa Ttaaa. The largest and niont remarkable wedding since the world began look plaor at Susa. When the great Alex ander tiad conquered IVrnia, wishing to unite tlitors and vanquished by the strongest tlee possible, be decreed a weddine festival. Now. gue how many people he ordered to be married. You could never do It. Well. Alexander himself was to marry Statira. the daughter of Darius; 100 of his cbl?f offi cers were to be united to ladle from the noblest Persian and Median fami lies, and 10,000 of hla Greek soldiers were to marry 10.000 Asiatic women 22.202 people were married at once. I don't see how they managed to get up a feast for so many, but they did, and for a vast multitude of guests be sides. They bad the most splendid ar rangements. On a plain near the city a vast pavilion was erected on pillars sixty feet high. It was hung and SDread with the richest tissues, while the gold and precious stones orna mented It would have made your eyes blink. Adjoining this building were 100 gor- H ous chambers for the 100 brldegTom while for the remaining 10.000 an outer court was Inclosed and hung with costly tapestry, and tables were spread out side for the multitude, a separate seat was assigned each pair, and all were ar ranged' in a seml-clrcle on either hand of the royal throne. Each bridegroom had received a golden vessel for his 11 bation, and when the last of these had been announced by trumpets to the multitudes without, the brides entered the banquet hall and took their places. And now don't you think each bride groom stood up separately and vowed: "With this ring I now thee wed." and so on. No, the ceremony was very sim ple; the king gave his hand to Statira and kissed her as his wife, and the other bridegrooms followed bis exam ple. Cincinnati Tribune.

"There Is a reason for most every thing," cald a Cumberland county man, when he was asked how In the world they came to have such a crooked line between two towne in his country; "there's a reason for this crooked line. You see, some of our towns established In pioneer times, when land was abun dant and people were few, had a big territory which was afterward sliced off to make new towns. It waa so in the case you mention, and when the cut off was made, people along the line of division were of different minds as to which town they wanted to be In. So the legislature drew a straight line between the two parts, and then pro vided that persons dwelling on lands odlnlnlne either side of this line might be In one town or the other, as they should decide, within ninety days after passing the act. Some went one way and some the other, and the line was all skewed up to accommo date them." Lewlston Journal. Spider That Catrh Blrda. W. J. Rainbow, an Australian natur alist, gives a description of the large bird-entrapping spiders of his country. Representatives of this genus abound in tropical and subtropical regions. Their webs are composed of two kinds of silk one yellow, exceedingly viscid and elastic; the other white, dry and somewhat brittle. The latter is used for the framework of the web, the guys and radii, and the former for the con centric rings. These snares are at varied heights, sometimes within reach, again ten to twelve feet from the ground, but always la a position ex posed to the rays of the sun. The diam eter is also variable, from three feet upward. One seen by Graffe in the Fiji Islands constructs a web thirty feet in diameter. These snares are strong enough to entrap small "birds. In the author's opinion the web Is not set for such game, and the spider does not feed on her ornithological victim. In the case where she has been observed with her fangs in the body of the ensnared bird, it is probable that It is for the purpose of hastening the death of the bird in order to prevent its Injuring the web In its struggles to escape. Spiders of the genus Nephlla are easily tamed. Although exceedingly voracious, they can exist for many days without food or water. San Francisco Chronicle. An Original Cot-Off. The Washington gossips are telling a good story on Senator Marlon But ler of North Carolina. When he made his speech on his bond sale bill he in vited his wife up to the senate to watch his effort from the gallery. It was so long that she went to sleep, leaning on the front rail of the gal lery, not caring to go out, and in that way make folks think she was unin terested in what her better half was savine. Some senator went and told Butler that his speech had put his own wife to sleep. The senator saw the point, and wound up his brilliant re marks a good deal sooner than he ex pected to. The Corbln Buffalo. The son of the late Austin Corbln has notified the New York Park Com missioners that he will carry out the Intention of his father to send a herd of buffalo to Central Park.

These animals were captured in the southwest in their Infancy by a celebrated western buffalo hunter known as "Buffalo Jones," and are superior to those bred in captivity.

Wattenon'a Ureateat Dinner. The' greatest dinner that ever I sat down to consisted of a leg of mutton, dressed with mustard, a bit of hot wheat bread, and some fresh butter, with half a Jug of fine whisky to wash it down. It was in front of New Hope church in the summer of '64. Some one had sent Eustts a leg of mutton. Some one had sent Ycatman a large pill box of butter. Bragg. Gen. Tolk's cook, had some flour. Eustls and Yeat- man invited Gov. Harris and myseii. The governor happened to have a key which fitted Gen. Polk's medicine case. All of us united In making the rob bery of a vial of Irish whisky, the gen eral himself being absent, and that was the dinner! Glorious dinner! Please God, the quartet still survives to tell the tale, which they do when ever they meet and can get an au dience. Eustls is in Paris, ambassa dor: the same cool, self-possessed man in diplomacy he used to be under fire; able, brave and lazy. Harris toucn ing the eighties is the dashing, bril liant, impetuous boy he was thirty-two years ago and, silver or gold, or nelth t innir toward him as I write! vpntman. obtrusive only in his coup acta on the battlefield, lives the life of cultivated leisure and unambitious rus ticity which delighted him most when he was both younger and richer than he is, though he still has his ances tral acres.
