Ritualism continues to spread in New
York. The congregation at st. Adams
Church is steadily increasing. and the SER
vices at Christ Church, Fifth avenue, are
said to be becoming even more Ritualistic
than those at St. Adams. The infection
is reported to have reached the Rev. DR..
Dix, Rector of Trinity Chapel, and there
are indications that some other Episcopal
Ministers are not entirely free from it.
Whether the spread of Ritualism is good
sign OF bad one, is a question with
which people may deal as their own judg>
ment directs them. 1t is quite certain,
however, that the new form of service is
favored by some Of the most influential
Episcopalians in New York; and the fact
that the Episcopal Convention adjourned
without committing itself on the subject Of
Ritualism, though the subject was discus
sed with great earnestness, indicates that
the Bishops are not disposed to interfere
with it,

offered evenly dollars to any one who
would 60 up stairs after his clothes. A

The N. Y. Times is urging Gen. Grant
to make War Secretary of w. Sherman,
"the most brilliant, but least understood
of our Generals" 1t says:
In these days when the official atmos-
phere at Washington is reeking with
corruption; when no one dare say how
far or how highthe power of the "whis-
ky ring" the Indian ring" or the ''gold
ring" may extend, it will be something to
have as a confidential adviser of President
Grant man like Sherman, who so thor
oughly loathes and intensely hates all
forms of official corruption. The shaking
Of a red flag before spirited bull is
hardly more certain to excite his frenzy
than the presentation of more clear case
of Official dishonesty to Gen. Sherman is
to rouse all the latent wrath of his nature.

of his peal Of belts, and his choir, and

which he used to steal into the vestrey

1t is not quite safe for clerk in any Of
the departments in Washington to testify
against his superiors when they are ac-
cused Of corruption. No clerk who has a
proper regard for his salary would do such
a thing. OF the batch of clerks discharged
from the Second Auditors department at
the beginning of this month, about twenty
were witnesses in the investigation Of the
colored bounty frauds, of which some per-
sons connected with that department. were
accused some months ago. Somehow the
frauds were hushed up, and the clerks who
testified before the Congressional Commits
tee are cleared out. This is just what
they might have expected for going back
on their superiors. The idea of depart
ment clerk letting anybody know that the
men above him are thieves and swindlers
is simply preposterous.

A DEAD MAN BEFORE AN ARKANSAS
CouRT.-An Arkansas correspondent Of
the New Orleans Pieay,,ne tells the follow
ing story Of the rigid manner in which
justice is melted out to men in that region.
Some years ago o man without family or
relative lived in county in that State,
coo. He went to New Orleans, and was
absent for year without being heard
from. The Probate Judge granted admin.
istration upon his estate, wound it up, and
discharged the administrator. The man 1t
length returned. lie had been to Mexico.
He applied to the Judge for his property,
when in open court the following dialogue
took place: Dead man-''If your Honor
pleases, want my effects returned to me,
as you see l am not dead yet" The
Court-'I know, that is, /, as man,
know you are alive and in court; But as
O Court know you are dead, for the rec
ords Of this court say so, and against
their verify there can be no averment. So
says Lord Coke, and good many other
books l never read.' Dead man-'But
want my property, and it's no matter to
me whether your records lie or pot. l am
alive, have not transferred my property,
and to deprive me of it without my con
sent is againat the law" The Court-"If
you insinuate that the records of this
court lie, the Court will send you to Jail.
Dead man-"Send dead man to Jail 2"
The Conrt-"Be thou ghost or goblin
damned, I'll speak to thee. Come on, let's
20 take something to drink" The Judge
stuck to it taat, so far as his court was
concerned he was dead, and he should
stay dead. The poor fellow went into
chancery and spent all he made in Mexico.
