THE TRIAL OF REV. CHENEY.

The trial and condemnation of Rev.
Mr.. Che1eEzashA Chicago. before a Bis
hops &C. rise to some
e Rsaares our Establi Lit will be re-
n. t6eret - hs - before this court
was commenced when an appeal was
made to a civil court, and an injunction
granted. The case then went to the SUI
preme court of Illinois, which decided
that the Bishops court had Jurisdiction
in the case.
The sentence is that the accused "be
suspended from the ministry of the
gospel until he shall satisfy the Bishops
of his penitence." The crime which led
to this sentence was the omission of the
word "regenerate" from the baptismal
service, practice which is said to be
quite common among the more worthy
ministers of the episcopal church. II
Mr.. Cheney had been guilty of some OF
the most unworthy immoral practices
his sentence would not have been more
severe. But if he did violate an estab.
lished, and recognized rule of the church
of which he is minister, the public
have little right to interfere in the mat.

A rather interesting person is just
dead in Paris. 1t was a certain M. LAM
bert, who was secretary to Fonquier
Tinville, who conducted the prosecution
before the Revolutionary tribunal dur
ing the Reign of Terror. He was also
the recorder of that court of death, and
wrote down the doom of the swarm
ing victims of Robespierre and his as
SCISSORS. It is said of him that he was
haunted by images of the scenes he had
witnessed, and could not speak of them
without evident emotios of fear and hor-
ror. But his feelings did not have the
effect of shortening his life, as he lived
| to the age of ninety-five years. When
the revolution of Thermidor common
ded to the lips of Robespierre the bloody
chalice which he had made so many 9TH
ere crink 10 the dregs, Lambert fed to
England, and became clerk to q brew
er, keeping the records of beer, instead
| of blood. At the Restoration he re-
turned to Paris, and his passion was the
cultivation of flowers. He always lived
in great retirement; but was finally
broken down in mind and body by the
siege, and so died. What deal of life
as well as of death this veteran had
seen! As lad, he must have full recol-
lection of the state of things before the
Revolution; for he was grown up be-
| fore Bonaparte had been heard of. Then
the revolution, the consulate, the +
pire, the Restoration, the Dynast
ly, the Revolution of '4S, the
Etat, the Second Empire, the CO
of France by Prussia, and the sies,e q.

time for him to die

LEGISLATION IN BEHALF OF IDIOTS

A petition has been received by the
legislature of Wisconsin asking for the
enactment of q law providing for the
erection and maintenance of q State
institution for the gratuitous education
of idiotic and feeble minded persons.
1t has been suggested that institutions
for the reformation of drunkards ought
to precede these, as filing a wider place,
and calculated to supercede the necessi-
ty for the former, wherever their bene-
fits are fully realized, and thus confer
ring greater benefits upon individuals
and communities And with regard to
the latter, it is obvious that the greatest
benefits may be conferred by such pub
lie sentiment, and such legislation as
will diminish their necessity for the
class for which they are provided. Ii
does not seem to be quite in accordance
with sound discretion to legislate in a
way that will foster an evil, and then
legislate with reference to the remedy
retaining both upon the statute book:
at the same time.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE CONVENTION IN
CHICAGO.

a woman's rights, and female suffrage
convention was held in Chicago the
early part of the present month.
Among the ladies in attendance were
Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Swisshelm, Annie
Dickinson and Olive Logan. The sem
timents put forth by the different speak
ers did not indicate the utmost harmony
of sentiment, for some advocated the
right of female suffrage from a bible
standpoint; while others were inclined
to discard its teachings, and favored
the idea that infidelity has always been
the guiding influence in great reforms.
One of the takers advocated greater
facility of divorce, a rather strange idea
TO be put forth in a city where the knot
is severed with such remarkable facility.
The query was made by reporter of
the proceedings whether "time, trouble
and money would not be saved by abol-
ishing divorce altogethsr-and that if
they were permitted to make their
temporary arrangements without in
voking the sanction of the church or
the State, the practical results would be
mnch the same. and the courts would
be saved great deal of trouble"
We do not suppose, however, that all
advocates for woman's rights and fe-
male Suffrage are of this class. It is
our belief that many of the good ladies
of our country are among the advocates
for these $50 called) reforms, and we
believe it just to trust the issue TO their
own choice whenever fair expression
from their own ranks can be obtained.

A capital of 81 900 in the East is very
triiing either to purchase a farm or
start a mercantile business. But on the
fertile fields of the great West it will
purchase and stock 2 farm of 100 acres
in good neighborhood, where it will
constantly increase, and often in less
than ten or fifteen years it becomes
worth 5000 or 10000; while there is
an independence, a freedom, a cordial
ity in Western life sadly deficient in
Eastern civilization, where society
seems to young man to grow more
selfish. 1t is true, to some extent, that
there must be privation for the first few
years. Who, in starting a new bust
ness, did not first have to go through
some sad experiences, proportionately
no harder and no worse than are en-.
countered in farming at the West? All
must expect them; but they will wear
away gradually, and at last cease to ex-
list at all. We believe there is no grand
er field to develop ones ability and gain
good name than in the wide opening
fields of Kansas.

We clip the following from the OF
tawa journal:
1t is rumored that propositions have
been made by Mr.. Peter, managing
owner of the A. T. Il S. F., r. r. to Mr.
Stevens, manager of the M. Z. & T. r
R., and of the branch interest known as
the Holden railroad, in substance as
follows: That Peter will sell the
Santa Fe road to the interest Mr.. Stev-
ems represents, or that Mr.. Stevens dis
pose ofthe Holden route to him (Peters).
What the proposition resulted in we are
not at liberty to state, but Mr. Lord,
chief engineer of the A. T. s. s. f. r. R.,
has been ordered to make survey OF
the line from Usage City to Ottawa, via
Lyndon and Pomona, as soon as the
weather permits, and it is further stated
it is probable that the cars will be run
ming between Usage City and Ottawa
before the line is completed from Paola
to Ottawa.
Be this as it may, it is evident the
work of building this road is to be push
ed vigorously the coming season, and
that by the ides of November we may
expect to have an additional outlet to
st. Louis by way Of Paola and Holden,
and to the west and southwest by way
of the Holden, A. T. & s. F., railroads,
Ottawa being the diverging point for

A SAD PICTURE.

The Glen's Falls Republican draws
the following sad picture of the death
of a poor outcast on the peak of Luzerne
Mountain:
Away up on bleak Luzerne Noun
tain died, on Wednesday last, Elizabeth,
wife of Solomon Pease. Alone, or near
ly so, with no man of God to speak
words of cheer, with no friends to
weep for her departure, with no kind
hand to smooth her dying pillow, she
the dark river. Friendless, homeless,
an outcast, with no care for earth nor
hope of heaven, hers was pitiful lot in
deed. Some say she persisted with cold !;
others that starvation ended her miser-
able life. Exposure, neglect, the cruel
frost and want of that care which in O
Christian country is supposed to be Civ
en- the most humble or unworthy, has
tened her disease. Up on the noun
tain top, in a shanty scarce good enough
for swine, where naught was heard but
the bitter moaning of the wind, and the
leafess trees stood like gaunt sentinels
watching the feeble glimmer of the life
lamp, she died. But there was another
watcher! Gods sky looked down, and
perhaps the poor spirit found cheering
asylum above. There are those among
us, no doubt, who knew the poor heart
broken woman when she was guileless
child and had a mothers love. She is
at rest now. The poormaster placed her
with her dead infant, in a deal coffin,
and carried them to the silent cemetery.
There were no mourners to follow the
remains, but they dug grave and in it
softly laid their burden. A mound of
newmade earth is the only monument
ment reared to the sorroWful, suffering,
cherries life
