With the Governor's signature it becomes a law. "Tue oldest Mason" in New York, Thomas B. Campbell, died oa March 1 at WestQeld, in that State, He was ninetj-six years old. Mn. Bezchzl's remark that "Heaven is a place ot restless activity," calls from the Presbyterian Interior the xejjinder, '3j is Hell." A Boston correspondent is responsible for thta story: William Ellery Cbaaning Invited Hawthorne to vhit him in Concord at one time, and added as an inducement, "Emerson is gone and nobody here to bore you." A roc3HKEirsiJt (N. Y.) gossip wa3 Sued $100 for circulating reports prfjadicial to a person in tbe place. This is a move in the riht dirctica.

A CULTIVATOR'S CIRCLE. It is announced that the Chautauqua Lit erary and "Scientific Circle has added to ita system of instruction by correspondence a branch devoted to agriculture, to be cilled j the Chautauqua Cultivator's Circle. Every young person who joins the C. C. C. will be expected to execute some prescribed task on the farm, in the garden, the green-hoie, tbe window garden, fish pond, kennel, tbe poultry yard, bird house, barn or dairy or home. There will also 'bs an examination of the readies, and at the end ot the second yeareverv one who has passed the examination, read tbe books, and performed ach year one of tbe prescribed works will be entitled to a diploma as a graduate to the C. C. C. Tbe headquarters of the new circle will be at Houghton Farm, Mountainvitle, Orange County, New York, where all the work designed for tbe members of the C. C. C. will be actually carried oa each year. The course of reading, programme of work, bureau of information and general ontrol of the C. C. C. will be under the management of Charles Barnard. For particulars, address Miss K, F. Kimball, Piainfield, N. J. Tbe Chautauqua Circle I143 become a potential agent in tho foruation of the tasks, habits and characters of tbe vouth in num- . erous communities, and if through this new movement it shall be succenfal in inducing restless boys to remain on the farm, and to find profitable exercise of brains and energies in developing tbe resources of the soil, it will do much toward advancing the science of agriculture and toward diminishing the number of discouraged men who tramp the city streets In search of employment. A REVOLUTION AT HARVARD. The educational heresies advocated by Charles Francis Adams in his famous Phi Beta Kappa oration in the summer of iSsZ have been partially aiopted by Harvard College. The fanulty have recently made a complete revision of tbe system of examinations for admission, and have made it poisible for a student to obtain the degree of A. B. from an old and powerful American College without even knowirg the Greek al phabet. This action is the outcome of a bitter fight in the faculty which has been going on for a year p&st, and is a victory for President Eliot and subordinates, who believe more oriels in the ideas advanced by Mr. Adams, Professor Youmans, of New York, and other enemies of the dead languages. The lib-rats of the faculty wanted the entrance examination in the classics male wholly optional. The conservatives resisted, and consequently the new tystem is a compromise between the classicists and the scientists. No student will be admitted without having studied at least one dead Ian snag-; neither ill tny studsat ba edraitted who has not ;cne tome practical work in science. All nzzl bsva learned tonsthing of the vital tzzZzrzx Jznsges English French and German ThU is practically the system detired t7 Hr. Adana, end is in tha direct cl clTce pursued by President Eliot

m

a rc be pave och wide scope to the elective tjiU m torce jein ao. Other significant cbaoges are tbe introduction of Eoglbh and American hlrtory, and of laboratory work, into pbys'.ca and chemistry. The candidate for admission will bs required to r.issa written and a laboratory examiLatlon, and to present the original note book in which he recorded the s eos and results of his experiments at school, an! this note book mu3t ba iadorsed by his teacher as n tine rccrd of the pupil's wirk. There can be no futtter "cramming'Mn physics and chemistry, and prepsra'cry schools will be compelled to provid-j laboratories aud suitable instruction. The final result of this step on the part of Harvard will probably be the elimination of Greek trom the preparatory schools. Taelr counesof study will fcae to ba revised at once, unless the parents and ions prefer the cid system and ctber colleges.

OUR RECENT LIBEL 8UIT. It falls to the lot of the newspaper now and then to answer as defendant in a suit for libel. The niost careful collector of ne ws may, on occasions, be led unwitting'.y inn incorrect statements of facts. But where such unintentional injustice is done, the party criticised, if really honorable, is satisfied with an explicit correction by tha pu:?r, and the latter, if cinvinccJ of error, is nut to make the amende honorable. But there h a class of adventnrers ia e7ery city with n j reputation to loj or to anipnd, who are on the lookout for the hazard cf a libel suit, hopirg, perchance, to coia a tew dollars f jr alleged damage to character. For over two weeks a suit bas ben 01 iial in the Circait Coutt in which 10,000 damages was demanded of tbe Santicel. The exse went to the jury on Friday afternoon, and on yesterday the jury having failed t agree, the Court declared a mistrial. The jnryisBaid to have stood eight for the defense. That the public may know of the merits ct the case, a review of the evideucs is given elsewhere. Oar readers will conclude alter reading it that the plaintiff was brezen to venture a libel suit fr-tm such a situation as he occupied. Kot tor $10000 would a man of any pride or senst ot honor have received the excoriation tbe plaintiff rtceivtd from Judge Turpie, one of the Santicei's coui.se! RESPECTFULLY, TO TOE CLERGY. "Jo! Did you ever know a prayer?" "Never knowd notutnk. ir." "Not to much as one bort orajer?" "No. sir; notüinlr aiaU. 2dr. Cnadbands he wos a prayin' wunt atilr.ssuagiby', aadl heerd aim, butbeionnded as if hs wosafpeattn' to hisselt and not to me. Ha prayed a Int. but couldn't make out noibiuk on it. Dif!rcnt time tüere won other KenTmen come down to Tom allAlont'a a prayin'. but they all mostly el as the t'oiher wun prayed wron. and alt motly founded to te a taiain' to theirselves, or a passiu' blame on the t'other, and not a talkin' to us. II V never knowd nothiuk. never knowd what It wos all about." D:eak House. There is no other pcfesiion 50 respected and loved by tnankir d at lare as the ministerial. No class of u:eu is so honored and revered as the clergy. And this ia right. The influence o( the coepel teachers, even outside of religious impressment, tends to morality, respectability, virtue. The occasional discovery of an unworthy wearer of the clota is no compromise of .tho profession cr of tbe thousands of truly good members of it. We are not, tben, deficient in respect for trie pulpit, even though venturing a word of criticism upon tbe irethodsof some of those who occupy it. The difference between preaching the Gospel of Christ and advocating the peculiar tenets of a sect is wc?th discussing. The one is all important is the other so? There is no question among Christians as to the necessity of embracing the Gospel is there absolute need of a man's bslieving in this or tbat denomicatlonal dogma? It Is essential that we bow in spirit to the King is it essential by what form or ceremony we man!fttt our reverence? And If any particular mule is requitite, which of all tbe various (cts have fallen upon it? Are the dividing linei between denominations promotive of Christian fellowship? Are tbe n.iniit?rs advancing charity and brotherly love vchen inspiring denominational zeal? When establishing in tne minds of his pari&honers a faith that certain formenuhi' of his sect is iadispensible to Christian perfection, is he not also manufacturing doubt, nncbaritablentss and intolerance against others? Is it rot trse that re any of the clergy spend more time in vain glorious esaaya at revealing the mjsterious and proclaiming their own interpretations, of uncertain linages of Scripture, than in expounding the beautiful and glorious story of the crots upon which ail Christian eLcmicatiocs can egite? Do not many pretend a deeper insight into the unfathom his mysteries of the Godhead than is accorded to human prescience? Ia it not true that actual animosities have often been engendered between neighboring congregations by belligerant doctrinal sermons? Are such animosities conductive to growth of Christian fellowship? Meantime, while these haughty discussions are stirring tbe brains of the learned churchman, what is becoming of the poor "Jo's," the less emdite, the unprofound, the humble of the spiritual fiocl ? Is it any wonder if one is heard how and tben to say, "He prayed a lot, but I couldn't maie out nothink on it?' Or, of others, tnat "tbey all mostly fed as the t'other wuns prajed wrong, and all mostly sounded to be a talkin' to theirselves or a passing blame on the t'others, and not a talkin' to us." With uncovered head in presuming to comment upon the methods of presenting the Gospel to mankind, vre suggest that less .doctrinal opinionativeness and more atten tion to the narrative of Christ's words and works, would do mere to win hearts to Him. The inquirer gees to one church t to-day and hears certain intricate , propositions asserted. Next Sabbath from j ancther pulpit he hears the same passage of i Scripture differently construed. The third j Sunday the learned divine of still another ; denomination seta at naught the other j theories, and the inquirer, reviewing the three, with his head between his hands, is ready to say with poor Jo, 'they all mostly sed as the t'other wuns prayed wrong," "or a passing blame on the t'others and not a talkin to us." Imagine an army in the field under a great leader who, though invisible, has issued his cemmand which his officers are to give to the hosts. Imagine the commanders of the various regiments passing over the important Uses that point out the march, the discipline to be observed and the arms to

be carried passing: over tbes linei and arguiug the Intent ot parssges of minor impcrl ance as to the nniforris, the dress parade, tbe martial mcsic, the drum major. Imagine the various regimental commanders disagreeing ana condemning one another's views until tbe troops ot each one speak disl a'seiDgly of all the other, until eich rein ent comes to think itself the only ons followirg the directions of the Commaader-in Chief, acd that all tbe rest are unworthy his aprroval. Would that army bs considered as corbbinicg the best elements o! ttrength fcr combatting a coaamoa foe? Frtnce has her Napoleon, England her "Wellington and Amurica her WasbiogtoD. For vbat do tbese nations honor their respf ctive heroes? Fcr abstruce t'octrines announced by either? No; for their glorisos achieuiEer.ta and their least ostentatious utterances. Tbe French point to Austerli:z, Jcta and Marengo; the Eaglish t3 Waterloo, and America to Valley Forge and Ycrktown. But the opportunities of the hero worshipers of Washington, Napoleon or Wellington p?Je before those of the worshipers cf the Gallilean for reconnt.ng the wonders and glories cf His achievement?. There is enough m the scheme of salvation and in the sacrificial offering upon tbe cress to enliit tbe most glowing eulogies cf all the tongues of all the clergy. WLbt is tbere in Ilia life, His works, H s ttscbires to authorize Cant from any pulpit? What is there in His precept or example upon which any follower cf His may presume to Dam a all putks but his own?" We plead fcr the gospel of charity, of gentleness, cf tolerance, which pulls down sectarian wa.b and makes Christiai fellowship undivided and universal.

Now Rev. FaTnEr. Lo.nef.gan-, a Montreal priest, h&3 from his pulpit denounced tobogganing as a moral ruin to the young men and women who engaged in that sport. If the reverecds who see perdition in every popu'ar amcsement would put their brains tegsther and invent for young people some attractive and enjojable recreation, minus tho element f jr evil, they would do mora toward discouraging the devil than they cm through all the!r pulj. it denunciations. PERSONALS Hehst Ikvisg has become a convert to American mince pie. Dr. Toxtck, the distingushed English surgeon, ate only one meal a day. The Umpresi of Austria has gone on a sea voyage on the Baltic for the benefit of her health. Eliahetii &TYAP.T PnELrs Is suffering serionsly from ineomnii at her home in An dove r, Mass. Mr. Letvcs, in his journal, says that it was tbroush Herbert Spencer that he learned to know and love Marian Evans. Mr..

Henry Bendss, aged ninety-two, died re centyin Ilacfcs County, Pennsylvania. Besides being a veteran of tha vrar of 1812, he waa known as the champion fife player of the State. Dr, iJiiAKciiAUD, who recently died at BloomingtOD, X. J.. had married twice and had thirty-seven children. His children and grandchildren and great grandchildren number about 700. Naval Cadet Tiiros, laie of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and now in the Cni nese service, commanded the on'y Chinese vessel tbat taptored a French vessel in tbe late conflict. Captain Tilton was thereupon made a commander in the Chinese navy. Ex-Navel Cadets Sparling and Tennait are goirg to China also to enter tue Caine?e navy.

Several new station houses will ba ballt, and several thousand dollars worth of nev rilling ?tork purob&ced. The impres?ion prevails h i this road will erantuaUy ba extended to this point. Toledo people , are of the opinion that it will soon become :i a I., B. and W. interest. A railroad man says there in no use denyiDgthe fact that timesarehard with the railroads), while expenses are heavy. Tb pat wider has been a hard one oa all rod. mid roaDy roads have found it dittlsult t.o weather it through. Tbe manascs have found it neceoeary to economize wherever it h poEsible.

In tha latisr ?art of 1890 the Richter family was occupying a seat residence on Prospect street, and about this time there raoved to the city and located oi the corner of 3nchr.nan street and Virsinia. avenue a German family named Ranmueiler. The faaiily consisted of Dr. Theodore U, Bumuellar, his wife Le:a.a:d a Utle dugher.

The partis to the trade wh remained ia this city, Ansuat Richter and Mrs. Daumueller, continued their Sisocistions, the former visiting the latter cu ite frequently at ber domicile, on the corner of Buchauan street and Tirginia avenue. The CDtlre öoutn bide, where live a lar?e nomber of our German prpulation. was a.xe with rumors concernir the jcandal, and. lndcd. it was the talk lor tose days in all parts of the city. Renter's two tens, very e&tfmable, hard workicff jouue men, cod suited an attcrney .Mh a view toflopping iie divorce proceedina of their fatntr ataicst their motner, when Richter became fearful of tbe consequences, and went to one of our' northern dues, where he had a sister rcsidlns, asd where he made arrangements for Mrs. Rumuclr to renain until hi divorce was cranted, tyinv to bia Msttr on tbat crakion tbat Lc "Cid not iare to know where Mrf.3aumt!ler was until his divorce should be granted." Returning here. Mrft Jiaumueiler was tent rway in pursuance of tfc? arran?cn:ent maae fcr ich ter. In order then to throw his f ons oil' their guard aDd prevent his divorce prccccdinzs Jrorr- being eonteftel, he trId 'his ton Auaust Uiat hs did not know wnere .Tr Bamveiier wa, and tha: he would have nothlsz more to do with her if bawere allowed to set a elircrce without hind;?n?2. About this ticie Richter was thrown from his bugjy and quite fericusly hurt, being rarrled to his brother's, Anton Richter s, where h3lay two or three weeks liom the result of his ln;cri?a. Whilo 6tlll at his fcro:her, Mrs. Baumuciler returnet from her plica of hidinz, but wa not permitted to stay wit.? August, or her "tree lovin?

Tne facts are. as developed in the evidence that she wasordered away from the residence et Richter' sister, ia the ci"7 referred to, his sister cnarzioz ber wita beinKina conspirhcy with iiaumueiler tozetco'itrol of Richter'8 lorttine. When fche rtacied Anton Kicbter's on her return to thin city, her ie??ption was by no means a corJ al odc, and early neir mrniar N.'ie left house and tok tu q'iarttrs at the rat!otal Hotel. On the 17th of Msy K chtr was granted a divorce froj bis wile, and within a few days he and Mr, iiaumueiler m jved to one hlahoufes o:i öhelty street, where she ciaincs to have acted iu the capacity of housekeeper. As stated before Banmuelle;-51ed a suit tor divorce from bis wife before leaving the -city on tbatcveutJsl tSaturda nijht, aud shortly thereafter Mrs. fiaumueller hied a cross bill, asfetns that she be livorced. and aücginc abaudonmont and adultery for cause. The -te was heard Rad the divorce- refused to beta parties, Mrs. R3muellcr not having been a residen: of the Ktate for the statutory period of two years, which residence is necessary in order ta obtain a d5vorce. The metier rested in tnis way uuiil April, 1HS2. whtn a divorca euit was filed under the title cf -Ler.rt R Mueller vs. Theodore II. B. Mueller. The cae came up in Judge Adams' Court, and a divorce vjas about to be granted, when, as stated in the a'lecel Iibellousarticle, the Court was informed that the proceedings were brought in pursur.nce o( tne trale of wives, and upon this information he refused to have the decree recorded. This was tome time in May, 1M. and in November Mrs. rUumuelicr appealed before the Court end represented, thirongh herattorney, that she wc goinz to tiernitiny, and wanted to be rcleasol from heir matrimonial bonds with Rau mjieller and restored to her maicen name ofloeppen?, Upon this rcprtsentation the Conrt gi kntcd the divorce, but Mrs, Lncraeher. instead of going to Germany again, went to Ulhier" in the capacity, as she Fays, of nous akceperi where she remained until the fprmg orJ when she married Richter and became tha mistress of his domicile. It is not overstating the matter 'o fay that the evidence duiinz theeizht dvs waich tbe case was on trial developed a large amount of fraud, not only in tho methods used in briDüln the divorce fuit of Mrs. Ranxnuciler, but well in the methods used in finally getting a decree. In the sentinel's answer to the complaint it was denlad that Eiumueller was in Indianapolis on tae4th day of April, ls2, at which time ihe tillered service c the summoae was bad on mm. Dr. t C Rcfcinon, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Düte and Jlrl -Annie Clark, whose depositions were taken in Milwrmfce in tbe latter part of Jauuarv, swore poiiively that Uaumueller wes in Milwaukee ou the 21th tieof April, I3S2, and Mrs. Christina Richter, who was with him at the time, testified on tbe stand that Baumuciler wis not ab eat from Milwaukee ann-jcti as a day or night durins the wholelm:cf their residence in tbat city. The Deputy- Sheriff testified that be euiered Phil .apf's t-aloon. oiTIrgtnia avenue. and served a man answerlne to the nameof Theodore II. B. Mueller: that he had no umid on s for a man named BanicueUer, nor lul he w;rve any man by tbat .name; that he was told b? one Bernbaacr where he wouli Sad the defeniautinthe euit. and that. the roan Bernhatner who, by the way. was Mrs. Bautnueller'a attorney -accompanied hira to thj door c( the saloja. Rni told him that he would find tha defendant therein. The Deputy Sheriff describes the man whom he served wlm the summons a tavinc a very dari Icflid, whereas Baumue.Ier was cleanly shaved excett a moustewlie and a small patch of whiskers on hin chin. One of the strongest circurc3lance3 poin?; tcsfcow that Baumcelicr wa- aofc in the city wm the attempt of Mrs. Banmucker, now Mrn. leichter, to bribe Mrs Rudolph Lzanst to swear In this

trial that 6te saw him here .n April, Ibe plaintill' Introauced a numtof witnesses to pove that Baumueller was here, bu. the most charitcble conclusion that can be re&ched on the hyrcthesis that he wa not) is, that ihe witnesses saw hint in Septemr-er. Ifcl. when ha came from 8t. .'cuis to collect the money on the notes civea by .Hieater in the wife trade, and tbat they wee hcconly mittaten as to the time. Od? of the airancxt and most mysterious taiux connectel ith the vhole aßair is the fact that the court records in f!r Raumueller'sdivorce sun were tampered vi:lxaad chanRed betweeu the time of toe puhliati n of the alleged libellous article aud the calling et the case for, trial. Whatever doubts may exist of the lepsin -o.'th proceedings of Mrs. Kaiimueller for a olor-. there can be none concerning the trade ci ..wves between Richter and linumucller, aud t' wuich Mrs, Baumueller was a willing par:y. Tl.
