The Wall street operators are more famous
the world over for sharpness than strict hon
esty; and when, in their little games. one gets
the better of them, it is case of diamond cut
diamond sure. Mr.. John B. Tranor some
months since sold some 1900 shares of New
York Central aud Hudson River consolidated
stock at 96, the price it bore just before the
transfer books closed on the 18th ult., divi.
dend of four per cent having been declared.
DE had no stock, "going Short" in street par
lance, but gave due bills for the dividends, $500
per hundred shares. Then he bought enough
stock to cover his contracts, after the transfer
books closed, at 90, Tex dividend" Thus he
had the nice sum of $4,000, equal to the eutire
dividend on his 1900 shares; but instead of
paying it to his purchasers, he stepped out
with 1t; and as he had no stock entered on the
books in his name, the buyers found their due
bills not worth the paper they were written
on. 1t is alleged that Mr.. Trainor also carried
off $4,000 belonging to another OPERATOR
This due bill business is a fraud in itself and
the Stock Exchange forbids it, but the rule is
often violated

Unitari1uisu.

The phases of religious development in the
United States offer suggestive Spectacle
In this development there is something pecu-
liarly American and the striking growth of
denominationalism shows the reciprocal in
fiuence of our social and religious institutions
upon each other. We have had no religious
establishment to cramp religious thought, and
our condition as it is, results mainly from
spontaneous growth. There is much to be
learned by watching the utterances at the
great religious anniversaries Of the various
denominations and considering the various
aspects presented in the life of each. The
Methodists aud the Universalsts have been
attracting attention, and now the National
Unitarian Conference presents new theme
for contemplation. Notwithstanding the wide
diversity embraced in the Unitarian body
there is certain unity running through the
whole which though not easily defined is yet
real. As the characteristic of Methodism is
religious fervor so that of Untarianism is
philosophic inquisitiveness and practical phi
lanthropy. 1t is more Greek than Hebrew,
and its power has been manifested more in
its influence upon thought than in the exten-
sion of its organization. In this respect the
system has always retained the features
which the circumstances of its origin impress
ed upon it. A revolt against the binding
authority of creeds, the zeal for in
opposite extreme of latiludinarianism
and has always been but loosely organized
Hence it has manifested much less energy in
propagandism than most of the evangelical
sects. But as one ofthe great forces by whose
mutual antagOnisms religious thought has
been moulded, Uuitarianism has exercised a
marked influence. If it has not greatly ex-
tended its own organization it has done much
to liberalize the views of other denomna-
tions. Among its leaders it has counted some
of the first thinkers and writers that this
country ever produced. The writings of
Charming, Parker, Emerson and others
have left their impress upon society at large
and their influence cannot be limited by de-
nominationaI lines.
OF late there has been an influence at
work within the denomination to secure
greater compactness of organization and the
adoption of definite creed. The rem lof
Rev. DR.. Elliot Of st. Louis at the Confer
ence in New York is significant. "Greater
defniteness ..of belief is needed to hold our
own or attract Others. Every sepa-
rate church should have a statement of faith
sufficiently minute for the purposes of prac-
tical instruction" He thinks this might be
done without invading the sphere of individ-
ual rights A difference of opinion on this
point threatens to divide the denomination.
1t is obviously an important period in the his
tory of Untarianism, and its future will no
doubt be greatly Influenced by the policy it
shall adopt in regard to the pending issue

AN EARTHQUAKE AT SEA.-Capt, Preble
OF ship Ellen Goodspeed of Bath, writes
home from Hamburg as follows concerning an
earthquake at sea in July:
We were twenty-three days from the chan
mel to the line, and thirty-six from the line to
the Cape of Good Hope, having had light airs
and Gains all the way. We came south Of
Tasmania and up between that and New Zea-
land. On the 9th inst. made Macauly Island
and at 1-30 felt very severe shock of an
earthquake which caused the ship to tremble
violently. 1t lasted one and half minutes.
We were about eight miles from the Island at
the time, At midnight made Raoul Island
and saw an active Subterraneum Volcano
near the shore in the S. w. Bay of the Island.
1t hove up dense volume of steam and
smoke to the height of from 2Cco to 5000 feet,
with such force that the wind did not seem
to have any effect upon it till it was lost in
the clouds. The water assumed singular
appearance. 1t was almost as black an
ink, and looked more like ink than
like water. 1t was two days before it re-
sumed its usual color. The steam obscured
the Heavens for a distance of more than fif.
ty miles each way from the Island and seemed
to effect the wind so as 10 make it blow from
all points OF the compass toward the Island"

NARROW ESCAPE oFAN INNOCENT MAN
FROM LYNCH LAw.--About three months
ago the quiet little town of Planfeld, N. j.,
was much excited by the mysterious dsap-
pearance of William Foreman, one of its most
prominent citizens. His wife declared her
belief that he had been foully dealt with by a
neighbor named John Muliner, with whom
it was known he was not on friendly terms
and suspicion was directed so strongly against
Mulliner that vigilance club, numbering
about five hundred of the residents of the
place, secured the woods for miles around, in
expectation of finding some evidence of his
supposed crime. The search was fruitless
and as nothing could be proved against Null
liner, he was not personally molested. Last
week Mulliner gave out that on the following
Friday he would appear before bis neighbors
in public hall and demonstrate that the
suspicion against him was unfounded. AT
the appointed time he appeared and attempt.
ed to prove his innocence, but with such i'll
success that it is said he would have been
roughly handled by the audience if he had
not suddenly disappeared behind the scenes
and as suddenly reappeared with his living
witness, who, to the utter surprise of the au-
dance, was William Foreman in the flesh.
An immense excitement followed the de.
movement, and the suppose murdered man
admitted that the violent conduct of his wife
compelled him to leave her, and for the suspi-
cion that had fallen his neighbor, John Null
liner, he would probably have remained away.
