A WELL FEATHERED MINIsTER.-The
clergy are getting a good deal like other
people-some of them a good deal more
SO. Such items as the following, given
by the St. Louis Union of the 10th are
becoming common:
The following is related of a man who
lives neal Lebanon, Illinois, (only a few
miles from this city,1 and who is said to
be, or to have been a preacher of the
Methodist Church. The scoundrel has
been given his walking papers ere now
without doubt.
He tempered with his own step-daugh-
ter, seduced her, and had issue by her.
Before the neighborhood were appraised
of the matter, the child, from some
cause or other, died, and was secretly
buried in some out of the way place by
him. Last week the whole matter came
to light. The citizens gathered, held a
hasty consultation, and proceeding to his
house, siezed, pinioned and tarred and
feathered him, advised him then to de-
camp. A serious proposition was enter
tanned at first to kill him outright, and
it was only at the earnest pleadings of
the more sober members of the party
that his life was spared. Being releas-
ed, the miserable scamp determined on
and caused the principal in
the lynching to be arrested, but he 1901

his own worthless carcass out of the

FASHIONABLE TIPPLING-A New IDEA.
"A lady friend of tours, in making some
calls upon the fashionable millinery es-
adjustments in Broadway, after making
her purchases. at one of them, was po-
litely invited into a back room, where
she was asked to take a glass of wine.
We did not ask her whether she refused
or not, but she informed us that the de-
partment seemed devoted exclusively
for the purpose of treating their custom
ers. This is another step in the march
Of civilization. We poor male bipeds
will have to keep a sharp look out for
our wives and daughters, lest they be
Induced, while in a state of semi-intoxi-
cation, to spend more money in fnery
than the law allows. Tipping is getting
to be a fashionable vice among the Ia
dies, and there are already several splen-
did saloons in Broadway, which they
visit exclusively for the purpose mat
tended by their lords-M Y atlas.
