The Nuptials of a Veteran Editor.

The recent marriage Of William E
Cramer, the veteran editor of the
Milwaukee Wisconsin, is touched
with spice of romance. As he is of
TO Europe with his young, pretty
and accomplished bride, the outlines
of the story may be told. A few
years ago, he employed Miss Baker
in his editorial rooms as amanuensis,
the infrmities of his eyesight and
hearing demanding that he should
receive this assistance. He soon
learned by daily association that she
was handsome, amiable, possessed of
a good mind, and the germ of all
womanly graces and virtues. as they
are in process Of development through
the attractive years of the latter
teens. Two years ago he determin>
ed to make her an offer of his hand
and heart, and of a share of his
fortune, which is immense. The
dowerless beauty smiled upon his
spectacles Cripple convex and his
ear trumpet -four feet long,) and
consented. He Immediately sent
her to the best finishing school in
the land, where she has since re-
manned, and from which she gradual
ted a few weeks since to order her
bridal wardrobe, and assume the
name of Cramer. May the choicest
blessings crown the well-omencd-
nuptials Of the singularly mated
pair.

SEDUCTION AND MURDER The
Quincy Wig cites the recent acquit.
tai of Bailey, accused Of the murder
at Naperville, a few months ago, of
James S. Laird, the alleged paramount
of his wife, as another instance go>
ing to show that it is useless to ex-
pect conviction for the murder of
man who is proven to have been
guilty of tri1ing with theIinyiolabili~
ty Of the marriage vow. 1t says:
"The character Of the wife has but
little to do with the case, In this
instance it was shown pretty con-
clusively that Mrs. Bailey's previous
reputation did not come up to The
standard which Caesar would have
set for his wife. Neither was there
any denial of the killing on the part
Of Bailey. The question seemed to be,
was Laird guilty of violating Bailey's
bed. There was strong presumptiye
evidence of this fact, on this the kill
ing was declared not to be murder
or rather was pronounced justifable
homicide.

All friends of popular education
will be pleased to learn that the Elf,

Santa Clara Academy, at Sinsinawa
Mound, on Thursday, the 9Th inst,
was. very numerously attended. This
fact, viewed as evidence attesting the

The public exercises were held ia

commenced about 9 o'clock A. NJ,
with "Grand Entrance March, " in
which all the pupils appeared, cloth
ed in black dresses with white Swiss
waist. During the entertainment,
which continued without any inter-
mission until 3 o'clock p. M., and
which consisted of q number Of high

interviewer with a rich variety ofvo-
cal aud instrumental music, diplomas
were awarded to Misses ). O'NeilI

part of the exercises, was entrusted
to the hands Of Rev. L. Il. Power,

had just triumphantly passed.

were presented to Miss l.. Walker, |.

DEMOCRACY IN A STATE OF CHAos.
The New York Citizen, an acknowl-

mocracy, has the subioined remark
able paragraph:
"We hear nothing as to what are
democratic principles at present.
Copperheadism was a failure, and

were examined last Saturday, not
more than two were considered ca

The Greek Church and the Ecumenical
Council.

1t IS announced that the Gear of
Russia has forbidden the attendance
Of the Bishops of the Greek Church
in his Empire at the coming Ecumen,
ical Council at Rome. This is very
natural. The hostility between the
two branches Of the primitive eccleo
slasticism is even more bitter than
that between Papists and Protest
| ants. The Greek Church is q great
stlckler for doetrlnes-it is orthodox
in the extreme. 1t has been defined
as "that part of the Christian Church
which adheres only to the doctrines
of the first seven Ecumenicol Coun-
ellis, or the orthodox Church" 70 q
Greek christian the Roman Sec is the
harlot Of Bobylon, because it holds
some dogmas less than a thousand
years old. The Greeks have never
attempted to encroach upon the Ro~
mans, while they have been content
to hold their own, but the Roman
Catholic Church has never ceased in
its endeavors to bring about re-
union, or proselyte individual church
es and Christians. Considerable
Roadway had at one time been made
by the aggressive Papists but Cath
arine IL. and Nicholas set themselves
to weed out Romanism. The Greek
United Church, as the Romish branch
was called, was won back to the
common Greek fold for the most
part.
In 1913 Plus Y iss ued an encyo-
lical letter, inviting the entire Ori-
entail Church, the Greek in particular,
to a corporate union with Rome.
The proposition was met with scorn.
While the Professionals have their
high churchmen, party leaning
thoroughly toward Rome, the Greeks
have no further hopings and labor
lngs for future reunion with the
Roman Church. Rome can count
few Russian Grandees, a very few
among its converts, but they are
poweriess, in religious point of
view.
While the Greek Church is the
most conservative in point of doc,
trine in Christendom, it is also in
practical matters. The Roman
Church of to-day is very great i'm
provement upon the Church which
Luther protested against. Indeed it
is in .some respects in advance of
Luther. But the Greeks remain in
statu quo, from whatever point of
view considered. The number of
in Russia is about
100000. The whole population
of the Greek Church, wherever
found, would not vary materially
from 100000

Reasons for the Study of Political
Economy

Philanthropy without knowledge
is not the least dangerous of errors.
Society has not seldom had 10 lament
the effects of Jealous, but uninteli-
gent benevOlence. 1t is almost as
easy to injure as to benefit the poor
by measures which have their origin
IN the purest desires to prom ote
their welfare.
Evils which are invisible in sim
gle cottage, often reveal themselves
with calamitous power amidst num-
hers: and the clergyman whose
sphere Of action is limited to the
area Of parish in u country Of such
nobility az modern England, needs to
understand the laws Of social aggre-

Political Economy, therefore, for

He must, as ! have said already, be a
Political Economist of some kind );
1t Is no light matter whether he adopts
his principles without reflection, or
whether he learns to distinguish be-
tween the false and true. At this
very moment we hear the cry often
raised that the wealth of the nation
is the exclusive product of those who
work with manual labor, and invests
them with claims for consideration
and reward to which no other class
in the community has a title. 1t is
not difficult to imagine the feelings
which such language is calculated to
suggest, when addressed to large
and excited masses, what pretcn-
tlons it may raise to new distribu.
ton of the fruits of industry. Who
have such fair opportunities for cons
batting this unjust and unfounded as
sumption as the parochial clergy

The NATIONS WITHOUT FIRE.-
According to Pliny fire was long
time unknown to the ancient Egyp-
tians, and when Exodus (tbe celebra-
ted astronomer) showed it them,
they were absolutely in rapture
The Persians, Phenicians, Greeks,
and several other nations, auknowl-
edged that their ancestors were once
without the use of fire, and the
Chinese confess the same of their
progenitors. Pompanion, Molar,
Plutarch, and other nations, speak
of nations who, at the time they
wrote, knew not the use of fire, or
had just learned it. Facts of the
same kind are also attested by sev~
eral modern nations. The inhabi>
tants of the Marian Islands, which
were discovered in 1851, had no idea
Of fire. Never was astonishment
greater than theirs when they saw ii
on the desert of Magella, in one oil
their islands. At first they believed
it was somo kind of animal that fixed
to and fed upon wood. The inhabc
itants of PHILIPPINE and Canary Is
lands were formerly equally igno>

A Curiosity.

The Augusta (Me.) journal has
the following Twenty years ago,
or IL the spring of 1849, the super
intendent Of the burial ground in
Hailowell-Capt. John Beeman, who
is still one of the business men of
that city-purchased a number of
silver poplar trees, averaging about
two inches in diameter at the ground,
and five feet in heigh, and trans
planted them in the cemetery
They fourirhed finely, and have be-
como large trees, adding very much
TO the beauty of the cemetery. A
few days ago one of these trees was
cut down by direction of the present
perintendent, Colonel w. S. Haines,
for the reason that its branches were
broken off by the great ice-storm of
last winter, and the tree ruined
The fallen tree measured 81 inches
IN diameter at the stump, and was
about 40 feet in length.
Embedded in the centre Of the
trunk was found the original tree, of

AlLthe growth OF the tree had been

ty, and worthy of a place in the

denying the allegation made recently
in that city's Board of Education,
that Jews objected to a recital of the

says: "When you consider the
Lords Prayer is a purely Hebrew
composition that it teaches belief
and dependence upon the one God,
free from all sectarianism, and that
it was taught by Christ and His dis
ciples, themselves Jews, you must
conclude the director, not the Jews
