On last Friday evening, just pre cediug the storm. Station Agent Fos ter, of the S. C. & P- R. R , witnesM'd the falling of a meteor in the railroad park near the freight depot, and marked tlie ppot where it fell so exact ly that on goiug lo the place the next morning he found it iu the shape of a stony substance, as large as a man's head, which had (he appearance of having been burned in a furuace and resembling coke in appearance though heavier but not as heavy as a piece of stone. The outside in places was burned till it was glazed over like stoneware, while it was filled with particles of white matter, resembling lime or chalk, and so soft that it could be cut with a knife. It struck a tree in its descent and peeled the bark off from it. A couple of tramps, who were in the park, said it burned brightly for some time after reaching the ground. Fragments of it were found near by having probably been broken off by striking the tree. George broke pieces of it off and gave to his friends. Blair Pilot. Moht horrible were the atrocities committed by the Apache Indians re cently npon the Phillips family, in Arizona. The family consisted of Mr. Phillips, aged fifty-six, bis son, twonty-Bix years old, daughter-in-law and three children, the latter being one, three aud five years of age. A New York special says that both General Phillips and his father were horribly mutilated. One little girl had been taken up by the heels and her brains dashed out against the trees. A little boy was bruised aud mutilated, and the four-year-old girl had been hung on a meat-book, and was found some hours afterward by the rccuing party still hanging and alive. She was unconscious, and died a few hours after being rescued. One of the rescuing posse says he never beheld such fright and agon' in a human face as was shown by the little girl. Mrs. Phillips was horribly mangled. Oniafia Herald. Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, so widely known for her charities, and now living in Stamford, Ct., is con templating an original scheme for doing good. On the theory that the old and stirring religious hymns which were familiar in childhood, and from which many people in later years drill so far away that barely an echo of them remains in the memory, would, if heard again, stir old recol lections and re-awaken religious sen timents, she proposes to send musical organizations through the country which will render the religious music not only iu concert halls, but in pub lic places where masses of people congregate. Mrs. Thompson intends to organize bands of sacred minstrels to travel from place to place, and de sires to get together local companies of young people, iiudir good musical direction, who will give sacred con certs. Woman's Journal. While the legislature of New Hampshire re-elected Senator Blair for another term of six years, they also censured him by a joint resolu tion for his failure to obey the legis lative instruction to vote lor bills to restore unearned land-grauts to the public domain. The United States Senate needs considerable purging, and if there were three or four more Vau Wicks there, it would be a lively institution. One man, speaking stiongly what the people have been thinking, lias done a world of good, and senators may rest assured that, on this subject, the peoplo arc watch ing the record made by their repre sentatives. Apropos of the notorious Mackin's issuing a call in Chicago for a pri mary election, the Times remarks that it is perhaps not practicable for even a respectable church congrega tion to prevent pickpockets from sneaking in at their open doors, but members are certainly not required to recognize the thieves as deacons. Which reminds of a remark made by the celebrated preacher Lorenzo Dow, to a man who said that evil thoughts could not well be avoided, that no man can keep the birds of heaven from flying over his head, but he might prevent them from building nests in his hair.

Hexry Coyer, a stranger at Heb ron, Neb., the other day, who said he hailed from Salina, Kansas, was sus pected of being a horse-thief, because ho offered for sale so low, a good sorrel horse which he was driving.
