pr. Ever, the rector of Christ Church, In
Fifth avenue, New York, has had trouble for
some time with some Of his congregation on
account Of his advanced views upon ritual
ism. This eliminated last week by his with
drawal from that church, which was put under
charge of Bishop Potter. That portion of the
congregation which adheres to DR.. Ever will
&nceforth worship in the Church of the holy
Light, In Seventh avenue. The sermon which
was delivered at this church Sunday was upon
the Eucharist, and was very pronounced iu
its character. The little church was filed to
overnowing. itfa
.-Apropos of the recommencement OF the
Tichborne baronetcy trial in London, q cores
pondent writes that ''the costof taking and
printing notes Of the evidence has been $4,000
week, and this has been one Of the smallest
items. The lawyers fees are magnif" mt:
then hundrsdsof witnesses have been brought
from South America and Australia. !. This
week witness after witness comes up and
swears that he recognizes the claimant as the
real Sir Roger. The defence will try to prove
that they are all mereenary periured witnesses

The smallpox is still fearfully ravaging
Philadelphia. For the week ending last Sum
day, there were one hundred and 1fty-three
deaths. It Is estimated that there are now
fully five THOUSAND cases of this dreadful
malady under treatment, and the mortality Is
still increasing. During Sunday, ninety-tWo
new cases were reported. The board OF
health is acting vigorously In the effort TO
check the spread Of the disease. The city
provides for gratuitous vaccination, having
appointed eleven physicians, whose duty it Is
to vaccinate free all applicants who cannot
afford to pay. From this exhibit, 1t would ap-
pear that smallpox is taking firm hold in
Philadelphia, whence It may radiats in every
direction. Already we hear of It's tendency
to increased mortality in New York, Ciucin-
natl and elsewhere. A journal of the former
city states .:.at the citizens are becoming very
much alarmed, and that Ten new cases were
discovered since Saturday noon, of which four
had proved mortal in very short time. II Is
believed that the disease came from Philadel-
phia. In Cincinnati, last week, there were
sixteen fatal cases.
The new social movement" which made
something of a stir in London few weeks
ago. has been revealed at last by its origina-
tor and sponsor, Mr.. Scott Russell. The main
facts at first published were substantially cor.
rect, so far as the objects sought 10 be accom-
piished and the means employed were con-
cerned 1t Is certain, nevertheless, that
however strong were the verbal assurances Of
support to the famous seven propositions Of
Mr.. Russell by the ''peers and statesmen"
they signed no document whatever. What
they might have done If the plan had not been
pro o0hturely revealed is a question that admits
of considerable speculation, but that there can
nothing come OF the movement, now that
light has been let in upon 1t, Is certain, not
withstanding the ssnguine hopes Of Mr.. Rus
sell. The intermediary in this new movement
makes it clear that he had no thought of max
ING it political in an unpleasant sense, but his
associates on both sides evidently thought
hey saw in 1t the germ of new party. The
disclaimers published by the members OF the
council OF legislators haze discredlted the
movement with the upper classes, end the
council of workmen Is rent by interna disseu-
sion. We have, therefore, probably heard the
last of it, except when some orator or writer
wishes to cite conspicuous example of fail
ure to form novel political alliances.
The fact that Frankfort jury has refused
to find guilty an editor charged with commit
ting the great crime of critcising the action
Of the Emperor, is evidence that The German
people are beginning to doubt the divinity with
which the kingly office in Prussia is hedged
about. The case was that OF Hermann Voget,
editor of the Frankfort Zeitung, who had
criticised General. Manteuftl's ability, declar-
ing him no soldier but only courtier, who
obtained his promotion by favoritism. AS the
Emperor appointed Manteufel to his high po-
sition, the attorneyge neral discovered in the
