While Thad. Stevens was a young
lawyer, he once had case before a bad
tempered Judge of an obscure Pennsyl-
vania Court. Under what he considered
a very erroneous ruling, it was decided
against him; whereupon he threw down
his books, and picked up his hat in a
high state Of Indignation, and was about
to leave the court room, scattering i'm
precautions all around him. The Judge
Strengthened himself up to his full height,
assumed an air of offended majesty, and

Apropos Of the apocrypha difficulty
between Commodore Vanderbilt and Cor
nelius GARRISON, Mr.. Twain relates n
similar story of an unpleasantness be-
tween the former gentleman and Hon.
John Morrissey, which is to tho affect
that the Commodore owed Morrissey
forty cents. Morrissey went down to his
office, witch key of powder and a
match. He locked the door. He swal.
lowed the key. He lit his match. His
brow darkened. He said that both
should never leave the place alive again
unless one was corpse. He lit another
match. He placed it close to Wander
bits head. He said one or the other
must sit on the kee-take your choice
Mr.. V. Vanderbilt is not easily frigt-
tened, but he saw he was in close place
He paid the forty cents. Morrissey de-
parted with bis key. Since that time
both have been better friends to each
other than both of them put together
ever was before.

HYMEN IN A SHOWER BSrH--Cora
Mowatt, who is writing foreign letters for
the San Francisco Chronicle, tells story
of bridal pair, making the tour TO
Switzerland, who recently come to
crowded hotel, and were informed by the
landlord that there was one unoccuped
room in the house, bath room, and that
couple of beds might be made in the
two baths which it contained. The
youthful couple were well pleased to Sc
cure even this shelter, after a fatiguing
journey, and retired to rest. An hour
or two later the stiffness of the night was
suddenly broken by shrieks Of distress
ssuing from tue bath room. The lady
wishing to summon a servant, had pulled
what she presumed was a bell-rope sus
pended over her head in the bath, when,
suddenly, she was undated by shower
of cold water. The gentleman aroused
by her cries, and not comprehending the
position, pulled supposed bell rope
which he felt dangling over his bath bed /,
to bring him domestic, but brought, in
stead, shower of hot water over himself.
1t was quite dark, and neither bride nor
bridegroom; could grope their way to
the door. BY the time succor came they
were up to their knees in water.

insisting on the apostolic succession of the
bishops as an indispensable characteristic OF O
truly Christian Church.
All these views are earnestly opposed by the
Protestant or Low Church school. They claim
to be for themselves, and desire the whole
church to be substantially part of Protestant
Christianity in all the points which separate it
fom the Roman Catholic and tie Greek
Churches. They would, if they could, put
down by rigid legislation all kinds of monas-
ticism and ritualism, and would cheerfulIy CO.
operate with the Bible Tract and other reli-
glous societies OF the Protestant world MANY
OF them would even like to revise the liturgy of
the church. 80 as to remove from il all that
may seem to favor the views OF their oppo
nents, and to fix forever it's truly Protestant
character.
The latest notable event in the conflict was
the General Conference Ct Low Church MINIS
ters and 1aymsn at Chicago, q few davs ago.
ln England the organization OF the two ppr-
ties mas long been completed. The Chicaxo
conference nsurcs ,ts completion in the Uni
ted States. In England, the struggle is not
without q grave political Significance; for the
aTistocracy more and more casts it's entire in
nuence in favor of the High Church party, and
seeks O. political as we'll as ecclesiastical ALI
ance with the aristocratic and conservative
elements in the Catholic Church. In the
United States the political signi dcance of the
controversy consists only IN the probability
that, IN case Of disruption in the church, the
Catholic section would gravitate toward, at
least an alliance with the Roman Catholic civ
illzstion. while the Protestant section would

eStantism. gf'

The Aug gusta Chronicle says: '.1:
Through private sources We learned yester-
day that the examination Of n. M. Turner and
the TWO negro women who have been arrested
recently for passing bogus money. Is still pro-
gresslng before United States Commissioner
Smith, IN Atlanta. The proceedings are kept
secret, fo1 what reason we don't know, but
we are informed that Turner confessed his
guilt, but lmpIcates man in Washington City
as being the head of the affair. Efforts have
also been made to induce Lieutenant Murphy
to proceed TO WASHING ton to arrest this party
but he has refused to go until he sees what
disposition will be made Of Turner and his
associates. The extraordinary secrecy with
which the United States officials st Atlanta
are conducting what should be public exami-
nation, seems q little emlnous, and we are
afraid that some scheme is on foot by which
Turner will be enabled to escape from the pun-
ishment he should receive. 1t he be guilty of
the CRIME with which he is charged. It would
certainly be bitter modification to Presiden,

to Office in the face Of such strong opposition
for no other cause than that he scts negro

gla, should be convicted Of q felony so soon
