CLERICAL FUN.-Plymouth church went on

CLERICAL FUN.-Plym0uth church went on
an excursion to Iona Island last week. Going
down on the steamer Mr.. Beecher was taken
into custody and arraigned before a crowded
court, held on one Of the pretty glades of the
island. The judge was the Rsv. NJ Galliger,
and the jul y was made up of ladies and gen
tiemen, Mr.. Camp acting as foreman. Mr..
beecher, who was utterly unconscious of hav-
ing committed any offense, was charged by the
prosecuting attorney, Mr.. Sherman, with hay
Ing gone over to the Church of Rome. A long
.h was read, but in substance this was
tne charge, and in proof of it number of wit
nesses' prominent members of his own congre-
gat'on, testlned to this fact. The strongestev.
ldence was, however, the production Of a nRo-
tograph of Mr.. Beecher, officiating at the altar
of Romish church arrayed in the fn,l connni.
Gals of Roman Catholic priest. M o1 Roch'
wood, the photographer of Brooklyn. who had
produced the photograph, gave evidence as to
the identity of the portrait. Mr.. King appear.
ed as counsel for the distinguished defendant.
and did the best he could for his client. The
lnry, however, without leaving the box, found
the defendant guilty, and the Judge passed the
very capital punishment of ordering the six
n lazy Jurors to kiss the pastor of Plymouth
church, punishment that was so highly es-
teemed by the delinquent that he astonished
other jury. o'""s VI "A-

aback at first, land looked somewhat embarrass-
ed at the showing made by the letters and Mr.
RandalPs brief remarks. He recovered him
self pretty soon, however, and OF course was
ready with an answer, which was that he did
not hear the retort, and cut it out because he
believed it must be mistake, and then made
note which he thought would induce the Globe
folks to see Mr.. Randall about the matter.
Mr.. Randall very plainly showed that he did
not believe this story, and in response to an
insinuation from Mr.. Butler that he was not
in possession of all his faculties last week,
stood up in white wrath and denounced
Butler dishonest man, slanderer and libel
ler To this Mr.. Butler made no response and
the matter then went TO the committee on
rules to report what shall be done about max
ing changes in speeches.

A Cuban Envoy Extraordinary from Cespe-
DIES is in Washington asking help for the in
surgents, in view of establishing confedera-
cy including Cuba, Hayti and San Domingo,
under the moral protectorate OF the United
States, which will be free of expense to the U.
States Government.
The Spanish government in Cuba, it is said,
gets information of insurgent movements on
the island by telegraph from New York, and
this causes the failure of nearly every expedi-
ton. Thus the landing of the Upton's cargo
was known in N. York before it was known
in Havana. There is a screw loose some
where and somebody has either played the
spy or else talked more than was convenient.

The Conventions md the Common
Schools.

The growing interest which is excited by
the question whether the Bible shall DE reao
in the schools is indicated by the introduc-
ton of something relating to the subject INTO
many of the late religious gatherings. OF
the prevailing sentiment among these reli-
gious bodies generally, that manifested in the
recent Congregational Convention in Var
mouth is fair illustration. While the more
deep and comprehensive thinkers cons'oei
the question an open one as III 'he '"'. VI
President Harris of Bowdoin College, OF, IKE
DR.. Joseph P. Thompson OF New 1ork, ana
Henry Ward Beecher, regard the compulsory
reading or hearing of the Bible as a violation
of individual rights, the majority sare strong
" the other way. But majorities are not in
fallible, and on any new question like this,
appealing as it does so strongly to popular
prejudices the minority are quite as likely to
be in the right. In such a case opinions
need to be weighed as well as counted.
1t is urged and few deny it, that the Cath
olics will not be satisfied with the expulsion
of the Bible from the schools. This however
makes no difference. The question is not
what will please the Catholics, but what
ought Americans to do to carry out to all its
logical consequences the doctrine of separat-
Ing church and state. 1t is violatio nof this
doctrine to uge the agency of government TOR
the purpose of forcing religious instruction
in any shape or manner upon an unwilling
minority. The Catholics no doubt hate our
common schools and would gladly destroy
