A "MIRACLE" IN HUNGARY.
During a recent thunderstorm lightning playod havoc in a wayside calvary in O-Buda, a suburb of Budapest. Tho station representing Christ on the cross between tho two thieves was struck. Although tho figure of tho unrepentant thief was smaslied to fragments, the figure of Christ was unharmed, and the lamp burning perpetually beneath it remained alight. Tho incident, which is regarded as little short of a miracle, attracted crowds to the spot to search in the bushes for fragments of the smashed figure. The finders expressed confidence that they would be preserved from being struck by lightning —a commoner form of death in Hungary than in countries farther west.
