CLERGr AND LAITT.-For some time past
there has been a difficulty brewing between
the clergy and laity Of Cincinnati, in regard to
the latter assuming what the former claim to be-
the prerogatiyes Of the ministry The fuss has
at last taken the phase of an open rupture, some
Of the ministry openly denouncing the work
of the laity in prayer and public meetings.
The clergy might possibly be justified IN their
position could they show that the laity were
actuated by improper motives, and that their
labors are productive of hPrm; but they do moi
make any such claim. They simply sny that
the laity are Infringing upon the episcopal Of
feel They dislike to see souls saved by tie
exertions of any save they are ordained to
preach. The position is untenable; the spirit
is anti Christian; and the sooner they are abnn
dcned the better for The clergy.

THE New SENSATION PREACHER ONLY
EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD.-The people of the
Union Baptist Church on Sixth street, near
Franklin avenue are remarkable for getting up
sensations. Their church was organized by
the great sensationist of this country-Jacob
Knapp. After a successful season with them
during which he succeeded in gathering in
many scores of souls, Mr.. Knapp left them.
He was succeeded by other celebrities, among
them Morgan Edwards the eccentric sailor
preacher. Now the gospel trumpet is blown
to us by the lips Of another apostle-a Tim.
othy in age and appearance, but Paul in zeal
and eloquence. Rev j. B. Fuller, who preach
ed yesterday, has been in the ministry only
two years having commenced when only six
teen years of age, and consequently being at
the present time but eighteen. He is English
by birth, we believe, yet received his education
in this country-in the state of Missouri. AL
though but youth he has won quite repu-
tation as a sound theologian and eloquent pull
pit orator His voice is rich and manly, his
manners modest, and his style of oratory far
above mediocrity. We had the pleasure Of
listening to this pulpit progidy twice yester-
day and can but express ourselves as highly
pleased with his discourses. His arguments
are well based and his conclusions well drawn

BIRD SINGING.-Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er, in one of his Letters from the Country"
spoke of woman and birds, and said among
other things Ut is only in maidenhood and
marriage that birds sing" "Thereupon,
correspondent of the Boston Transcript said =
at would thus seem that the rural cores
pondent of the New York Independent has not
yet learned the ornithic fact that the females
OF the bird family never sing, the power of sing
ing being possessed exclusively by the males.
The male birds usually arrive several days
earlier in the spring than the females, delight
ing us with their songs until towards the close
of the breeding season, when they generally
become nearly silent During the season of
incubation, the male seems to exert himself
with redoubled energy, as if to delight his
mate during her solitary sitting. Hence the
comparison instituted by the divine, though
seeming very pretty, betrays a want of careful
observation which would have taught him
the well known fact that maiden birds are
mute, and when mated, remain silent, unless
greatly annoyed or yexed; then they will
scold with hardly less JUNCTION than do some
others who are not married but not mated"
The Brooklyn On. " Transcript replied:
"The writer for the Boston Transcript may
be wise man, but he is mistaken about the
Dlrds. temale birds often sing, and most OF
them sing more or less. The writer must
have confined his observations to two canaries
and a night owl. AT the season spoken of by
Mr., Beecher, many of the females sing very
MUCH but when they commence building their
nests they leave it to the males"
In the last number of the Independent, Mr..
Beecher copies all this and says =
"We shall not express an opinion on this
subject until Boston and Brooklyn Transcripts
have had their say out. But it is only by
remote implication that we could be made to
say that the singing of birds was common to
female birds. The point of the article was
that birds generally do not sing when rearing
their broods, and that human birds are just
like them. There can be no doubt that men
birds do the principal part Of the singing, ex-
cept in the case of the hen. viii the Tran
script say that hen never sings in her own
way and quite as much as a rooster? Or,
perhaps, he will go so far as to deny that a
hen is a Song-bird %

TOBACCO CROP OF MAssACHUsETTs.-We
think it is not generally known how large a
portion of the Connecticut Valley is devoted
to the culture of tobacco. The towns of Hat
field and Whately have each $50 acres under
cultivation, Hadley from 175 to 200 acres, and
Northampton about 125 acres. Other towns
cultivate it on a smaller scale. The Hamp-
shire Gazette says that in the tobacco coun-
try" almost every farmer has field of greater
or less size appropriated to this plant. 1t is
estimated that the 800 acres planted this year
in the four towns first named, will produce an
average of 1000 lbs. per acre, which some pro-
ducers will consider a low estimate. This
would give total of $40 tons. The average
ruling price, it is thought, will not fall below
$3.50 per ton, which would give 100000 as
the total value of the crop in those four towns.
The raising of tobacco requires great skill, in
all its stages, to protect it from the ravages of
the frost and many other destructive agencies
to which the crop is exposed in the green leaf
as well as in the dry. Cattle, sheep and pigs,
contrary to the popular belief, eat the plant
with avidity They probably never saw Rev.
Mr.. Trask's little books on the evils of such a
habit.

tic wtii sHSh egeEghfe ftarIy uniform with the
western horizon. 1t resembed cloud of
highly illuminated vapor, or belt of bright
unburnished silver. The whole arch, ripping
and undulating, moved gradually to the south,
and disappeared before eleven o'clock. APP
pearances of this kind are rare, and may be
considered the wonder of the age. Tie Salem
Register says that DIR. Hoyoke, now in his
Tooth year, has seen similar belts twice before
in his life, neither of which were equal in
splendOr to this.
AT that time there were no magnetic tele-
graph lines to assist observation of such phe-
nomena, and most observers believed the
lights were as far away from the earth as the
fixed stars. On the evening of Nov. H. 1885,
there was very brilliant auroral display
which attracted general attention; and Profes.
sor Olmstead, of Yale College, in giving an
account of it, states that on its first appearance
"the magnetic needle began to show unusual
agitation" and he noticed that "the thermome-
tor Immediately fell to 81 degrees and so re-
manned through the night" The New York
Daily Advertiser described the appearance
cat 7 o'clock p NJ, the northern sky was
Illuminated by an unusual light. AT IL o'clock
the whole horizon presented an extraordinary
appearance, like the glare of an extensive con-
tiagration the lights radiated from the
zenith having that appearance of the sun
meant when it is said the sun draws water :"
the hues of the radii were principally of a
pink, transparent as ether. So much did it
resemble a conhagration that many of the
bells Of the city sounded an alarm of fire."
The Boston Courier likened the spectacle to
can immense umbrella" as big as half the visi-
Bile horizon, and beautifully colored, now
flame-like, now golden, and now "bright scar
let deepening to the hue of blood" The same
paper described its Iightas equal to that of the
full moon.
In these descriptions we recognize some OF
the appearances which have recently drawn
attention. The auroral lights were brilliant
again last evening, but not with such many
colorcd splendor as before. Is it possible to
have complete science of magnetism to ex-
plain such phenomena? Such science
would unfold and explain mysteries of the un-
iverse and Of being, which none of US have
yet dreamed of comprehending
