A Sacred Hen. AN EGG WITH HOLY HIEROGLYPHICS—VILLAG- ERS SCARED INTO PIETY——THE EXPOSE,
Last Tuesday Mrs. Whitnal, the estima- ble wife of a harness-maker of Erieville, county, heard her favourite hen cackling in the barn in a strange and unprecedented manner. Upon reaching the nest she found an egg of ordinary size, but em- blazoned with raised characters, which nearly caused her to faint. Staggering
from the barn into the house, she dis-)
played the hen’s miraculous product to her sons and daughters, some of whom rushed
out and spread the alarm among the popu-,
lace. All further work on that day was suspended. Men working in the fields put
up their horses and tools in the barns, after which they congregated in Griflin’s hotel and gazed anxiously at the Whitnal residence diagonally across the road. The
excitement was intensified when the report, was confirmed that Samuel Curtis, an hon- |
oured shoemaker and a brother of Mra. Whitnal, had become so unnerved at the sight of the egg that he had tuken to his bed in alarm and refused to be comforted. Meanwhile Mrs. Whitnal went from house to house telling the inhabitants to com- mence immediate preparations for the coming of the Lord in 1884. One Metho-
dist sister suggested the expediency of '
‘assembling all the people in the church for ‘an all-night service of prayer. Another sister said she had known it all the while, as the Lord had told her so a few nights before ina dream. Other women got out their Bibles and hymn-books 2nd called ‘upon the passers-by to repent of their sins and be saved. The news spread rapidly into the country and for miles round excited farmers hitched up their horses and drove to town. | The most skeptical were convinced of the sacred egg's genuineness when it was taken ‘to the hotel and exhibited by two of Mr, , Whitnal’s sons. It was clear that the characters had been traced upon the egg by ‘no pen or pencil. No coloring matter had ‘been used. The characters were simply raised upon the shell as if they had been ‘made on the inside and puffed out by some ‘interior agency. On one side stood out boldly the figures ‘1884.” On another ‘side was a cross, and on a third side was a strange symbol, which some thought was a letter ‘‘O,” while others held that it was a The latter theory was more

‘held to the light, something which re- “sembled a face was discernible in the con- cavity of the character. This was inferred to represent the man in the moon. The universal interpretation put upon the egy in its entirety was that it foretold the advent of Christ in the year designated.
i . Orville Whitnal, one of the sons, brought
‘out two other eggs, the shells of which were wrinkled. He said that they had been laid by the same sacred hen. The sacred hen had always been a strange and super- natural creature. Frequently her life had been miraculously spared whee a wagon had come upon her when she was burrowing in the sand of the road. When the horses arrived at the spot where she was lying she would arise and coolly step on one side. She had been observed to take the rooster around the corner of the barn and lecture him on the bad end to which he would some if he persisted in pursuing his bold, bad course. Altogether she was a strange hen. Qn that night the morals and manners of the village of Erieville were excellent beyond parallel. New resolutions were formed and bad habits were sworn off. Husbands and wives no longer exchanged doubtful com- pliments and flat-irons, but tenderly em- braced each othes and agreed to await the coming of the Lord in a commendable manner. Mrs. Whitnal’s household were too excited to sleep. Her daughter, Safah, was very ill. and it was feared that the sacred egg would tend greatly to shorten her life. Alarmed at this, Frank Richard- son, a Clerk in the post office, acknowledged that the ,miracle had been performed through his instrumentality. He explained that to get even with one of Mr. Whitnal’s sons he traced the characters on the egg with tallow, and then placed it in vinegar, After the acid had sufficiently eaten the shell as to allow the parts traced with tallow to become prominent, he visited the Whitnal barn, deposited the egg in a nest, scared an innocent hen, and decamped. Mr. Richardson's expose hgs had the un- fortunate effect of dispelling the moral in- fluence exerted by the egg. The villagers have returned to their former ways.

Seven Miles, Overhead.
In 1862 Messrs Glaisher and Coxwell made eight ascents on behalf of the British Association, in one of which, from Wolver- hampton, they appear to have reached the prodigious altitude of 37,000 feet. Up to 29,000 feet Mr. Glashier took his many observations in comparative comfort; but shortly afterwards, trying to move his arms he found that they had lost all power.
‘“‘T then,” says he, “tried to shake my- self, and succeeded in shaking my body. I seemed to have no limbs. I then locked at the barometer, and whilst doing so my head fell on my left shoulder. 1 struggled and shook my body again, but could not move my arms. I got my head upright, but for an instant only, when it fell on my right shoulder, and then I fell backwards, my back resting against the side of the car, and my head on its edge. In this position my eyes were directed towards Mr. Coxwell in the ring. When I shook my body I seemed to have full power over the muscles of the back, and considerable power over those of the neck, but none over either my arms or my ‘legs;.in fact I seemed to have none. As in

with as active a brainas at the present moment whilst writing this. I thought I had been seized with asphyxia, and that I should experience no more, as death would come unless we speedily descended. Other thoughis were actively entering my mind when I suddenly became unconscious as in geing to sleep. I cannot tell anything of the sense of hearing—-the perfect stillness and silence of the region six miles from the earth (and at this time we were betwen si> and seven miles high) is such that m ‘sound reaches the ears ' Whilst powerless 1 heard the words “temperature” and ‘“‘observation,”’ and | knew Mr. Coxwell was speaking to me, and endeavoring to arouse me: therefore consciousness and hearing hadreturned. I then heard him speak more emphatically; ‘but I could not see, speak, or move. heard him again say, ‘Do try—now do!’ 'Then I saw the instruments éimly, then Mr. Coxwell, and very shortly saw clearly. I rose in my seat and looked round, as though waking from sleep, though not re- freshed by sleep, and said to Mr. Coxwell, ‘I have been insepsible;’ he said, ‘You have; and I too, very nearly.’ I then drew up my legs, which had been extended before me, and took a pencil ia my hand to begin observation. Mr. Coxwell told me that he had lost the use of his hands, which were black, and I poured brandy over them.”
Water in a vessel required for the experi- ments was now solidly frozen. While Cox- well was up in the rivg he found that his hands were frozen, and had to drop down into the car by using his arms. He wished ‘to approach Mr. Glaisher, but could not, ‘and felt insensibility gradually stealing over ‘him. Then he thought of the valve, but {eould not work it with his frozen hands; ultimately he suceeded, by seizing the cord with his teeth anid dipping his head till the balloon showed evident signs of descending. —‘‘Adventuves above the Cloud,” by Fre- derick Whymper, in Good Words,
Consumption.
THE SOOTHING INFLUENCE OF ROT WATER.
A Canadian correspondent writes:--Ne- ticing an extract from the World of Science in which a physician strongly recommends hot water in place of tea or coffee, as a éti- mulent for the use of those requiring te study late at night, I would like to yive my experience of it as a beneficial agent in con- sumption. Mrs. H , one of # family a number of whose members had died of con- sumption, was, after severe exposure to a snowstorm, seized with a serious cough and expectoration, acoompanied with jicss of flesh. Examination by a physician showed that one lung was seriously affected. She was wholly confined to her room, and every- thing that medical attendance and loving care could do to miugate her suffering was done, but ineffectually, The depressing night-sweats continued, together with loss of rest from repeated fits of coughing. Los- ing all faith in medicine, sure six or eight months ago, its use was wholly aban- doned, and the use of novrishing diet only continued. About ten wieks ego the patient’s attention was directed to a news- paper paragraph recommending hot water as aremedy for consumption. Finding that no harm could ensue from its use, she deter- mined to test it. At the moment of retir- ing; alarge tumbler of hot water, in which the juice of a Jemon was mixed to free it from nausea,was taken, {n a few moments a glow of warmth would pervade the lungs, chest, etc., quickly followed by the most refreshing sleep, which would be anbroken by any cough, and the patient would awake in the morning rested and strengthened. A few days ago she was seized with a fit of conghing, during which was coughed up in her mouth, a small stone about the size of a pea—formed of a sul- phate of lime, I believe, and usually con- sidered a symptom of the healing of a cavity in the lung. Whether this marked im- ‘provement was due to the use of the hot water, 1 cannot venture to say; but its beneficial influence in securing sweet sleep and exemption from coughing at night was so marked that I would like some of your readers to test it with their consumptive friends, and give, through your Notes, the results of their experience. — Chambers Jounal.
Bishop Riordan, the New Brunswicker who has recently been nominated coadjutor to and successor of the Archbishop of San Francisco, was born in in 1841, He went west while young, and entered the Univer- sity of Notre Dame, Ind., where he distin- guished himself by the brilliancy of his talents and progress in studies. Bishop Duggan, recognizing the young student's intellectual worth advised him to go to Rome for the completion of his studies. He did so, and entered the American College in the Eternal City, where he re- mained until he had completed his philo- | aophical course. Thence he repaired to the | university of Louvaine, in Holland, where | he studied theology for three years, at the 'end of which time he was ordaived a priest in the year 1865. He then returned ‘te Chicago immediately after his ordina- | tioa, and was assigned to his first mission- ary labor as aesistant to his uncle, the late reverend Dr. Dunne, pastor cf St. Pat- 'rick’s. Subsequently he wes Loncred by the bishop with the appointment to the chair of theology in St. Mary’s seminary, of that city, which position he held until the closing of that institution. Thence he was transferred to St. Mary's church, | Joilet, where he remained until 1571, when ‘he succeeded Father P. J. Conway, presi- ‘dent vicar general of the arch Ciocese, as |pastor of St. James’ church. During his ‘pastorate he built one of the finest ‘churches in the archdiocese, a handsome parish residence, and a parish tchool. Be- sides this he has kept a close watch over the
