TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH.-A New York
writer for the press, under date ofDcc A, says:
The religious world just now is in great
fcrment-and all caused by the too playful
gambolings Of couple of the Lords sheep.
Did YOU ever hear of the late Rev DR.. Rooney
OF Pittsburg? DR.. Rooney went up to Ueav-
en- some years ago, leaving disconsolate re-
markably luscious widow, well known in
literary circles as the editress of the Reform
ed Presbyterian. Mrs. Rooney has removed
to New York, and has continued to flourish
ever since her husbands death, but never
again perpetrated matrimony, although
lovers flocked about like fat Irishmen around
brewery. Among these was another sheen
of the fold, Prof James Christy, of the Sulh.
van street Presbyterian Church. The Pro-
fessor went in for the widow, and in a short
time got so wound up in her affections as to
forget that he was the husband of another
woman. The Professor smashed up the sew
enth commandment, and event it blind"
The consequence was that he was discover
ed, hauled up before the church on a charge
Of adultery, and on last Wednesday the Re,
formed Presbytcry cut the Professor adrift.
This makes great deal Of scandal in the re-
ligioUs world, as the Professor and his chere
ami were both looked up to as models of
piety and the very incarnation of all the
Christian graces. Whether the Professor
will now order up suit Of sack cloth and
bushcl of ashcs-or continue his amatorY
career, remains to be seen.

FEMALE LoBBYlsTs.-The ladies complain
that they have no influence in the enactment
of the laws under which they live because
they cannot vote and hold office But that
IS nonsense. Letter writers from Washing
ton declare that women make the most sue
cessiul lobby agents for managing members
OF Congress. The fact is, there is no resist
lnga beautiful and accomplished woman, and
the poor fellows who are obliged to sit in
Congress and do all the hard work in voting
only fulfill the promises they have made to
their wives or some other of the fair sex who
have laid siege to them with such winning
and persuasive arts that they could not help
agreeing to vote rs the dear creatures wanted
them to. Do we not hear that this and that
member of Congress was put up to do this,
that or the other thing by smart wife and
that the Little Giants" course last winter is
attributable to the influence of his young and
lovly bride? But if further evidence on this
point is necessary, we have it in the revela-
tions of an ex-legislator communicated to the
Now York Post, and from one of whose epis-
ties we quoted some sententous advice to
Legislators the other day. lie says:
81 may as well here mention that there Is
no lobby at Albany comparable in its infiu.
enee to one composed Of pretty women
Most of the appropriations for charities are
obtained in this way remember one very
plain, but very business-like directress in
benevolent institution, who always brought
up very handsome married lady, another
directress. They would take seats in the Ii.
brary, or in the parlor of the hotel the pref
ty one drew the members, the plain one did
the talking. They always carried away an
appropriation, which was, l have no doubt,
well applied. For years we had been trying
to get fre-proof building for a State Libra
~, but never succeeded until the ladies Of
Albany agreed to meet the members and
their families at the old library room for the
purpose of looking at the books and engrav-
ings presented by foreign powers. The effect
was miraculous, and the bill passed next day."
So no more grumbling, ladies, about hav-
ing no voice in legislation. We look upon it
as a sad mistake in "Old Buck" that he did
not take unto himself wife when he was
elected to the Presidency. With smart,
sensible woman at his elbow, to brush away
the fog that interested politicians raise to
cover their selfish schemes, we have no doubt
the old gentleman would have behaved
much better than he has.-Boston Traveler.

some IL feet high, spanning raTlne, in

taken up from TIE track on the bridge and
removed inward some two feet. The engi-
reer uhistIsd down breaks, and reversed
lthe engine, and then prepared to make a

was upon the bridge, and he could not jump
without apparently jumping into the very
Jaws Of death. He hesitated a second. and
in that second the engine, tender, and three
freight trucks leaped the chasm BY the wheels
bounding over the timbers Of the bridge. i

did not. The passenger and baggage cars
