DISGRACEFUL

Tie WfcfeliEZ Soldier' Reunion 831? by Eepntlicmr. Tie President cf the United State. FtSgmil? H.ay Old 8oldters Solemnly Declare that ' Tkr mrm Don with tit O. A. K, ForTtr, , IWheeling Register, August 27. The "non-partisan" G. A. R. orgtnuitions taking part in the dem jnstratian of yesterday noon, with some honorsole ez ception, rxade an exhibition of malignity and bitterness of heart which may well bring a blusn of shame to the cheek of every patriotic man, and cause mlng'ed feelings of indignation and sorrow to (1 the breast ot every citizan of this community. Toe scenes enacted ia front of the Register office, beneath the portrait of the -Commander-ia-Chief of the army and nary of the United States, were so disgraceful in their nature, and so totally unexpected by the general public, that even those who witnessed them were for a time surprised into silence and humiliated beyond expression by what took place; bat vben there could be no longer any doubt of the studied purpose cf the men pasfirg before them when it became evident that the whole proceeding had been p-emeditated and carried into execution with a deliberate purpose of not only mirxirg the splendor of lie Reunion, bat of imultiixp o the teeth a majority of the people of Wheeling tbe indignation knew bo ttuncB, a? for a time it seemed that a week of cordial and fraternal greeting and an era of unabounded hospitality, without s parallel in the history of the State, was to be ended in a conflict bet treen the stressors and those upon whom the indignity nad been pat between guest and host between the soldiers of Pennsylvania and Ohio and West Virginia and the citizens of a town who at so much cost to themselves had extended their hands in greeting and had entertained with a hospitality oaiy limited by their ability and opportunity. Bo cowardly, so shameful, so atrocious was this cnslacjrht upon good taste this outrage upon common decency that language fails to famish titling terms wherewith to denonuce Its instigators; or in which to characterize tbote who carried it out. For It there can be eo exmte, no palliation, no condonexoent, for the testimony of a thousand witnesses show that tbe officers of the various posts of this non-partisan" order nrgf d their men from the straight path which lay unobstructed before them iaro tbe crowded gutters, that they might make their insnlt the more prominent, and ia many instances Post Commanders and their aids grasped the staffs of fl tgs which had been carried through the smoke of honorable war and dragged them down to a level with their disgraced selves. Men who would otherwise have shown their manliness and sense of justness and brains were thus led by their officers into takin? part in a public mark of disrespect to the President, and unwittingly, perhaps became covered with the disgrace, and ma je their pretensions to patriotism and love Cf country seem the sham it is. From the best Information which can be gathered from a carefal study cf the facts, and manifold inquiries made of many persons, it seems tbe outrsge of yesterday had its origin in a sersational, malicious and untruthful telegram sent out from this cit Thursday night to the Pittsburg Dispiuih. . The telegram was sent by II. & Green, a member of the Dispatch taff, who hal been sent here to liport the reunion for that paper, ei tDB material and pertinent portion was as follows: " 'God bless our President, Grover Cleveland, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy.1 "This inscription In big black letters around a crayon portrait of the President on a banner 10x14 feet, and gaily floating over Market street, is the one grain of sand in the eyes ot the reunion of the Army of West Virginia, and even this is only in one eye. The banner is swung across from the office ot the Register, of which James B Taxey is the editor. The latter has tttver had to make affidavit te his politics to show that he is a Democrat. "As a feature of tbe trades' display, the phiz cf this Executive, with its affectionate inscription, was considered appropriate, but as a greeting to the old soldiers of the G. A. II , there are some who object to it. Tbere was considerable talk here last sight by some of the hotel heads. They claim teat it wes only flung as an insnlt to tbem. and that unlets it was taken down to-night tbey would either TEAR IT P0W5 TO MORROW or march aronndit. Captain J. E. Hart, of Marshall County, a typical mountaineer, and a bad man when he feels ugly, said to-night: 'If the blank rag isn't taken down by to-morrow I'm blanked if I don't charge on it.' 'This is only the talk of the smaller portion ot tbe more bot-blooded veta, bat there is liable to be trouble. Taney ia a fighter himself and wouldn't take the banner down if his oflice waa raided. That ia about the only political incident of tbe day." Tbe Ideas here set forth, conceived and put into type through the medium of Mr. Green, and against the advice ot some of his brother members of the prrsi, who had an Inkling of what he waa up to, was the origin of the trouble. The telegram was yead by the G. A. K. men of Pittsburg, acd there it was they conceived o' the gross insult to our people and the President, which was after wird carried oat. The Pittsburg men seemed to have ha I no trouble in enlisting their bretkren. w ion they found in line on our streets w ien they arrived, in the noble cause of sinking manhood to gratify animosity and sotte. aid thus it came that when tbe bead of tbe marchlDg footmen arrived near the Tiegister oflice signs of approaching trouble began to be discernable. Ma like Tom Sample, of Pittsburg, could bj seen going along the advancing troops, pointing out the banner, and urging the consummation of the insulting plans, while other gave commands to left oblique int the gutter on the west side of the streetPjst No. 3, cf Pittabur. which followed Immeliately after the Opera House baud of this city, formed from single column into columns of fours right under the swaying banner, avnd marched steadiJy ahead, bat soon after they had passed the Posts following began to dip their colors and to edge off to the left. Aa Post after Post came up their actions became more marked and were accompanied with insulting gestnrei, Ti'e and obscene epithets, hisses and other viöencea of outlawry and indecency. Citlieni aJorg the street who saw what was going on bent their heads in shame at the sight; but as yet no counter demonstration was made, But the G. A. Ii. men grew more and more bitter aa the column moved ahead, and soon the scene put on a troubled look and matters began to wear a serious aspect. Evidently having a purpose to do all in their power to add to the Tepidly growing disposition on the part of the O. A. IL, to make the Reunion end up in the wrong way. a half-dozen Intelligencer reporters took their stand in the center of ;the street, in advance ot the crowd which had been gradually edging over from tbe east sidewalk, and being supported by number of Republicans in this crowd, the reporters were soon at the apex of a sharp angle in the mass of men which jutted out beyond the car track toward the Begister office. This forced the O. A. R. Poets, as they filed by, to come TiUl cc:;r to ha carb, pad q fey crowd-

ed over farther and farther tint ringleaders in the crowd hailed each drooping color witii cheers, and encouraged at the top of their voice the leaders in bine suits who were so officious m pointing oat the banner and giving instructions as to how to bot show their disrespect for tbe high office of President of our common country. B the time probably e.'ght hundred or a thousand men had passed the column came to a halt with some Pittsburg Posts stretching out below the bannar. The men belonging to these Posta broke rat is and crowded over to the curb stone, where many showed in every possible way the venom with which they were filled One Post, whose commander had halted it directly in r front of the Eegutcr office, moved op the street-away from the banner which so annoyed them. Tbia halt was of ba!f tn bout's duration, and all this time

the Pittsburg men continued to make themselves obnoxious, not only to our citi zens, but to many members of Posts from other States. Abe nt a quarter to one General Duval and stau rune uown the line, when the Peenstlvamas fell into line and salcted, but no sooner bad the officers gone by than the trouble broke out arresb. Sxm the staff came back, and following them came Drnmmond Post No. 212, of St. Claimille, on horse oack, which, led by Col. Charlesworth, as gallant a soldier aa ever wore blue clothes, went squarely under the ban ner, amid the cheers ot a number ot Democrats, who baJ by this time gathered on the east tide of the street. The example set by Drummond Post was not gaaerally followed, however. The ringleaders who had so far made most of the trouble, redoubled their efforts. The hubbub soon became tremendous, the street was one mass of excited men, and so disgusted did many members of the G. A. II become at the disgrace brought upon the organiza tion that they stripped off their badges, left the column, and solemnly declared that they were done with the order forever. Tha second and third divisions continued to march past, tome going under the banner with drooped or trailing flags, and others making a detour almost on the side walk to avoid it, until Encampment No. .1, of the Union Veteran Legion, of Pittsburg, came up with the big Cathedral band at its bead. It was universally expected that this command would do as tbe G. A. Ii. Fusts had done, but they were made of different stuff. The drum major cf the band swung his long Staff to the right and left, opening a lane through the crowd right under the banner and cutting off the Intelligencer crowd and the Pittsburg politicians behind them from tte main part of the spectators, and the Legion, with colors upright and compact ranis, marched right under the portrait of tbe President. For a momeatthe great crowd was silent, and then a wild cheer burst from hnndreusof citizens and G. A. R. men who. ashamed of their co Tirades, bad dropped oat of the line in disgust. Tbe Republicans responded nit a hisses, and for a few moments trouble seemed near. But on marched the Lgion, wi h Commacder-ln Chief Geo. P. Coainiers at the head, over 303 strong. Tais mady action, coming in sach marke I cjntrast to the G. A. R , met with the wildest enthusiasm, and the Legion was everywhere commended in the most hearty manner. News of the action of the G. A. R , hal by this time spread over a goodly portion of the town, and prominent citizens of both parties soon hurried to the vicinity of the Register office, full of indignation at the indignity so gratuitously offered. The excitement wes intense, and expressions of resentment were bitter and innumerable. Men ordinarily among the nioit quiet in the city, were white with anger, and expressed themselves in words which showed the outrase tad struck home. Others, bo less incensed, were almost ii tears as they thonght of how utterly an event, in which all, up to noon, had had a part, had been dragged from its seemingly secure foundation, and made to serve the end of bitter partlsanlsm. Democrats who had been most active In making the reunion a success, threw away their badges and went home in disgust, and, where an hour before, all had been of one mind and ot one purpose, there, was a community divided, a great event marred beyond repair, and above all, the deep conviction that the city of Wheeling had been robbed in a moment of much of the benefit and profit arising from any like occasion in the future. It is certain that never again will many Democrats lend their aid or encouragement to a re-union of the Army of West Virginia, No more will Wheeling people, with the unanimity, so pleasing a feature ot the present meeting, haag oat their banners and expend their money and time as they have done this week. THE SIGHT MEETING. Gov. Wilson had left the platform but was eent after and introduced again. He said it is with a feeling of gratitude that the South realizes that it is back in the Union to day, and it does not make that feeling any stronger to be continually talking about rebels and rebellion. Do you expect to feed this country on a dish of rebellion for the next 100 years to come? The true American soldier did not go to war for the purpose of coming back cere asd commence talking about rebels. Let me tell the Governor who has told what he did in the war, that it is not such a grand thing to be continually talking about your own exploits. I consider myself as much a patriot as any man here this evening, whether he baa twolega, one leg, or no leg. Loud cries. The conduct of the crowd at this point was simply disgracefaL Foraker swaggered around and said that he would answer anything that was stated, and the confusion subsided. After some minutes the crowd yelled itself down, aad Gov. Wilson was allowed to proceed. You hsd better bear in mind that the soldiers wbo wnt into the war were not all Republican?. Hancock and scores ot other officers, and thousands and tsnsofthous ads of the rank and file were g0)d Democrats and aa good patriots aa any here this evening. 1 did not come here to talk politics, but I am not going to see the record of the Democratic eoldier swallowed up in the vortex of partisan hatred without iiftirg my yoke in protest. Erery Americsn citizen should have his politics. He should study the questions of the day and pass upon them by the testa of reason. I bp.lieve in the reason of the people, and ia the reason alone and not in any partisan prejudice or sectional hatred Oar Constitution was founded in reason and was made for tbe benefit of no section. Whatever may have been a man's actions twenty years ago. ran it be for any good to be continually telling him he was wronz and that he must get down in the da-.t and beg pardon on bis knees. Governor Wilfon was frequently interrupted by the crowd, who seemed determined to bowl him down. Cat-call, cries, hisses, and even threads were used by the cowards in order to prevent him from defending himself against the malicious asaeitions of the speakers who had commented upon his speech. Foraker began to reply by Elating that political questions had never been discussed at the reunions of the societies. Where is the sectional party? Is it in Ohio? All we want ia that the results of the war may be made secure that the rights of suffrage may be guaranteed to all. The Governor proceeded and waved the'bloody shirt infold time regulation style. John Sherman would have turned pale with envy could he have heard his youthful disciple roll campaign rot under his lips as sweet morsels and at a "non-partisan" reunion. He characterised the veto of the Dependent Pension bill aa a robbery of the people, and called Ileary Watterson an infernal whelp. The characteristic modesty (?) of the man led him to speak of the battle fisgs, remarking that the North would keep them aa insignia of the bravery of the Union soldiers; and the South could not have them until it recovered them like they were taken by fighting for them. Another Very modest thing the bashful young man , cade mentica ol w j (ho woii: done by

"my own State" and Palsy Fairchild when the Charleston earthquake ocenrred. II ad it cot been for tbe gallant and self-sacri-fcirg efforts of the.e "non-partisan" vetersns Charleston would have ooen swallowed up and the country would have been raind. Joseph further prophesied that the 8onth would be swung into tbe Republican column in a few years and that West Virginia would be carried for the republican nominee ia 1S3S. Tie eminent "non-parti8an"inished his tirade, aid Got. Wilson was on his feet in a raiment. The crowd began to howl. Fina'ly a semblahce oi order was restored. From wl at yon have heard here one wonM think that Gen. Lre had come to life and was thiea'ening th a city with a great army, and that Gov. Foraker waa here making you a speech preparatory to leading you against him. I can tell Gov. Foraker he is not acquainted with West Virginia politics, lie talks about the ballot box. Gov. Foraker does not know that thousands of Democrats were disenfranchised by the Republican party in this State, and by that dieenfrancbisement ' they controlled the State. Some more about the purity of the ballot The Republican party comes here and talks. Has it forgotten the fraud of '76. Has It forgotten tbe men it sent South to steal the electoral votes of three States? Has it forgotten Eliza Pinkston? When it has forgotten these things then it will be time to talk. Gov. Foraker is the political bloody shirt conundrum. Bat I tell him that no President, or Vice President will ever go into the White House wrapped in a bloody shirt. He talks about the stare and stripes. Thank God there are thirtyeight stars on that flag, one for each State, and the one that represents South Carolina burns as brightly as the one that represents Ohio. Now in conclusion I may say if yon men of the G. A. R. thfnk you can stand such scenes acd demonstrations as have occurred here this evening, the Democrats of this State can stand them. The counter spat otthis interesting exhibition of truly "n on-partisan" feeling was ehort. Gov. Foraker confined his remarks to the discussion of President Cleveland. Among other things he said, referring to the motto on the Register flag: I hope God will bless him and give a just appreciation cf the boys in blue, aad which hs is entirely lacking, and at the first opportunity the people will relegate him to private life. Eefcre the crowd dispersed our oth ßeary, leary little Hart, with the Pompa dour hair, attempted to explain matters, but he had lost his notes end the crowd did not want any explanations, and yelled him dewn in about a minute and a hilf. The Register vry much regrets that in the interests of good literature it can not sivi

a full account of this undoubtedly inter- I esticg address, but S3 it could not be heard on account of the noise, wa are com p&IIed to deny oar readers the pleasare of perusing this gem of oratory. The meeting was the most disgraceful affair of the kind ever seen ia this city. Tbere is general commendation of Governor Wilson's course in defending himself against the cowardly attacks of the poltrcons who took that opportunity to insult the town and the invited guests of to. 3 siciety. üanv G A. R. Democrats tore off thnr G. A R. badges yesterdiy declaring af car the scenes in front of the Ragis'.er" offi :e that they were done with that organizition. Some Republicans wsr8 heard to express a like sentiment end many condemn the disloyal action ot the piraders It is not only unfair to ask Democrats to remain parts of an organization to be nasi as a Republican political machine, a manifest anomaly, but it is an insult to their intelligence. ROOSTING HIGH. A Family of Hooaier ttopubllcaas Fixed In Fat Ottices at Washington. Washington Bpeclal to Courier-Journal Four of the Woods family are snugly tucked away in nice little positions in the departments here, while the father, Jim Woods, who will be remembered as the renegade Democrat who stumped Indiana for Garneld, has a good place in the Rspublican Senate (thank the Lord, it will not last long), and a relative of Woods is occupying a place in the railway mail service all the reward of treachery to theDamocratic party. These facts have been heretofore noticed, bat they have never ceased to be a thorn in the flesh of the Democratic party of Warrick county, Ind., and for this reason the Democrats of that county do not propose to rest until they have ousted every mother's son of them, and put good Democrats in their places. With this object in view there has recently been forwarded from that county an indignant protest signed by Hon. Benoni 8. Fuller, ex-member of Congress from tnat district, ana tne unairman and oincersof the Warrick County Democratic Central Committee, and other Democrats of that county of good standing and influence. The protest Btates that the Woods family are provided for as follows: James Woods, in the Senate: John Woods, ia the Pension Oiflce; Robert Woods, in the Treasury; Lily Woods, in the Treasary, and Robert Slaughter, a relative, in the railway mail service. The protest states that after Jim Woods had apostatized from the Democratic faith, that he canvassed the State for Porter, the Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana, and then went to flew York, where he continued his lang learned in the mines, making speeches of the worst and most foul mouthed partisanism ever uttered 'egainst Democratic principles. It further states that every member of tha lemily have been bitter haters of the Dernocretic causa la Warrick County; that they own the Standard, a bitter Republican sheet, published at Boonvilie, which teems with denunciations ot the Administration, using such expressions as "Galvanized reDel" in speaking of the President; end that the paper Is edited by James Woods, Ir. During the last election Jim Woods went over tbe county scattering boodle for the election of the Republican ticket. John and Robert Woods, with the exception of the lfut election, have been at boonvilie acting aa challengers, and by their rude end boisterous ways disguitea all good people. The Democrats of Warrick County made a gallant fight in ISSt, and carried the county by 4'X majority, and the county has alwavs been solidly Democratic, bat at the fact election the Democrats were so d???usted with the continuance of this family in office as areward fcr thir treachery to the Democratic psrty, that the Republicans carried everything from CoEgretsman down, lhe Democrats refold to vote, and many of them voted the Republican ticket. The petition adds, that unless SDmethhig is done to restore confidence, this demoralized etate of affairs in the party will continue, and they demand that the Woods family shall et. The protest is In tbe bands of Col. K. B Hetderpon, the Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and be has hal a copy made and filed in each department where any of the Woods family are put awav drawing a Government Balary. The cry is that they mast go, and the offensive partisans here Intend to keep on their track until they walk the plank. He. was Looking for toe Hew Comet. ' You need'nt trouble yourself to tell me that you have been out until two o'clock In the morning looking for the new comet." said a 8outh Side woman to her husband as he carelessly pitched his bat under the bed, and placed his shoes carefully on the manteL "Yoa need'nt go forth at unseemly hours to gaze heavenward for stray comets, for unless you promise me you'll not be out again later than ten o'clock. In less than three minutes, I'll accomodate you to a view from this post of observation of the entire heavens painted vermilllon with stars, meteors, aerolites and comets. I want you to distinctly uoderstand that the storm aJgnd is waving over this residence." It is recorded that b raised his right hand aaa mtllj yotea wilä tu majority,

"More Crookedness Dicovered la the Insane Hospital Contrftct ßysteia." 'State Auditor farr finds Vouchers 8howlng that the Trustee Paid 2 "2 a Gallon for Strawberries Worth Only S2 cents." The above startliog headlines revealed the character of- another sensational article on the Insane Hospital management which appeared in yesterday's Journal. Like the series of allfged disclosures proceeding tnisone, there is absolutely no thin it. The gist of the Journal's charge this time was, that John Pierson, a farmer living near tbe Hospital, hal in June last been paid Sj"6.5i for strawberries worth but $01 20. In aa attempt' to prove that Pierson had been paid nine times more than the contract price for berries based on a statement by Trustee Gapin that tbe price was "about 32 cents per gallon" the Journat published what purported to be a copy of a voucher on file in tbe State Auditor's office, showing that $2.72 per gallon had been paid for 285 gallons. If this were true, it would, indeed, bs "a big gouge on the State," and would also indicate clearly that Auditor Carr had been guilty of tbe grossest carelessness In drawing a warrant upon the treasury on each a voucher. Bat as a matter of fact, the price paid for the strawberries was $2.72 per bushel, and not $2 72 per gallon, as is shown by the voucher on file at the Institution, a copy of which is here given: Tjke State of Indiana, on account of the Hospital for the Insane, To JOHN FiERSOX, Dr. 1867.

Altogether tbere are in England and Wales no less than 230 religious sects. One! thing that the drug business seems to lack is some kind ot ealve that will stick a minister to his text or a politician to his party. A placard in a Philadelphia dry goods store reads; ''The Lord helps the man who helps himself, but the Lord help the man found helping himself here." At St. Petersburg the government has ordered the building of eight Greek orthodox churches in the Baltic provinces to assist in Russianizing the people. A Texas actress has had the following from Matthew ii, 10, placed at the head of her announcement bills: ''And behold! when they Eaw the star they rejoiced greatly." The annual meeting of the American Missionary association will be held at Portland, Me., Oct. 25 to 27. Rev. A. J. F. Behrends, D. D., of Brooklyn, will preach the sermon. Pastor Thomas, don't yon think your parents would feel sore if they knew you werefishirgon the Sabbath? Thomas Yes, sir; but not half as sore as I'd feel if they found it out. "Dees your husband talk In his sleep?" "Every night, reg'lir!" "Isn't ltanavfal trial?" "Sates, not I set up sometimes to listen to him..

Old gentleman (asking a few questions): "Now, boys, can jou tell me what commandment Adam broke when he took the forbidden fruit?" Small scholar (like a flash): "Plesse, sir, th' worn't no commandments then, sir." The morey given by the women of the Presbyterian church in the United States during the past sixteen years is $2,150,000 representing the entire support of more tban 200 women missionaries. 200 native bible-readers, and more than 150 schools. A German psper states that "at Vienna last year no lets than 36 i Jews became Christians," and another j aurnal says that 'at eo period sicci the first century have conversions from Judaism to Christianity been so frequent as they are at the present." A Kingston orator in a debating club said: 'An honest man is the noblest work cf God, as tbe bible says." "It isn't In the bible," called out one of the opposition. "Well, it ought to be," triumphantly exclaimed the orator aa he continued his addre&f. The opposition of the Turkish government to mission schools in Palestine, 10 far as the education in then of Mohammedan children is concerned, has culminated in an order from Constantinople forbidding the attendance of Moslems altogether. "Come, Bobby," said the old gentleman, "you must go to church this morning. When I was a bay, your age, I had to go to church twice every Sunday." "I s'poe I'd go to church twice every 8unday, to?," Bald Bobby, beginning to get ready, "if I had to." . Bishop Huntington, of central New York, says he has received Into the mintstry of the church during his episcopate four Methodists, one Presbyterian, one Congregational!, three Baptists, five Universal 1st s and Unitarians, and two Roman Catholics. Among the prisoners in the workhonse On Blackwell's Island a little society called the "Friends of Jesus" has been formed. Its object is to encourage) the inmates to try to help each other and to make the best of each day in improving all the little chances to grow stronger and wiser and better.

longed to the Primitive Baptists a sect eoncerniBg which The St. Louis GlobeDemocrat says that "its feeble light is little more tban a travesty of religion and civilisation." When four-year-old Johnny Perry said his prayers one night, and had asked God to bless papa and mamma and to bless Johnny and make him a good boy, he surprised his mamma by ,'saying: "And please God, bless Mr. Perry and make him a good man." "What do joa mean by that? "Why," said Johnny, "yoa don't.e'pose I wsgit to be a little boy all my life, do you?" ' Tbe Episcopal convention of the diocese of California unanimously passed the followlDgTrepolution in regard to "church entertainments:" "Resolved, That this convention reiterates and emphasieea the condemnatory resolution of the convention of 16S1 egainst 'all schemes for raising mcney for church or religious purposes which savor directly or Indirectly of gambling, the lottery, raffling, and other games of chance, or of the public ball." Intelligence comes from Canton, China, in a recent 1 euer from Rev. B. C. Henry, one of the Presbyterian missionaries in that country, that in his recent travels through the interior he met with a sact of religionists entirely new to him and called the Mam-tab, or Golden Elixir, by those who originated it, and by its adherents. Tbe members of this sect profess to select and combine whatever is best in the three great religions of China Confacianism, Taoism and Buddhism and they are reported to be persons of high aims and pure lives. They are chiefly scholars highly advanced, and their chief seat is in the southern part of the province of Hunan. Bishop Coxe, while maintaining his own distinctive position, has some interesting ideas on the possibilities of Christian unity. The Methodists, in his opinion, are next of kin to the Episcopal chnrch. "I have always felt," he says, "that God, who for wise purposes permitted the separation, will, Is bis own time and way, heal the division cf Jndah and Ephriam." And then he reminds his own church that unity does not mean absorption. The Moravians are alto near the Episcopal church and even the Cougregationalists might, in tbe opinion of the good bishop, be ' reconstructed." As for the Baptists, he reminds them that immersion is the preferred form of baptism in the Episcopal prayer book. He diseases also the possibility of a unioa of the Episcopal chnrch with the Tresbyterians and Roman Catholics. In the judgment of The Independent, tbe Andover hypothesis of the possibility of a postmortem probation .for anybody, ho matter whether living or dying,wbether simply under the ligM cf nature or under that with the added light cf revelation, is simply a foolish speculation, without the slightest warrant in the scriptures, and contrary to the plain tenor and clear implication of those ecrlptures that make human destiny hereafter dependent, not upon what men do hereafter, but upon what they do while here, and hence, treat this life as the time in which to serve the Lord, .and by doing so secure the great reward. The eooner this hypothesis is dropped, as worthy of no standing ia Christian thought, the better for the church and the world.

APPETIZERS, "Oh, how was the game?" was the anxious cry To a couple oi meu aa they passed by. One turned and smiled a? he said "Oh, fine! 'Twas as good as a glas of the mellowest wine."
