B,sbo, Whltehouse Deiled by DIR. Tying.

CHICAGO, June 5.--Dr. 8. III. Tying, Jr.,
of New York, who preached yesterday for
Mr.. Cheney, had previously received a
note from Bishop Whitehouse, notifying
him of Mr., Cheney's disposition, and re-
minding him Of the canon forbidding par
ticipation in services with a deposed cler-
gyman. Mr.. Tying paid no heed to the
letter, but preached both sermons, Mr..
Cheney reading the morning and evening
service for him, and the two gentlemen
uniting in administering the eucharist.
The congregation was the largest ever as
sembled in Christ Church in the evening
even the chancel and vestry were crowded,
and hundreds of people were obliged to go
away, not being able to obtain even stand
ing-room. In the afternoon sessions no
illusions were made to the existing
troubles, but in the evening the sermon
bore directly upon them, being on the
text: Jesus heard that tney had cast him
out and when he had found him, he said
unto him, dost thou believe In the Son of
God ?'--John IN. 35v. Mr. Tying said,
among other things, when the church in
terferes with the rights and individual
conscences, illuminated by the Word of
God, and the liberty of the Christian in
his relation to-his lord, then the church
becomes .anti-Christ for it assumes the
functions of Christ, and substitutes itself
in Christ's stead. AT such time of apos-
tacy from Christ, and His Truth, it Is q
blessing to the communicated, for,
among cast-outs of the church are to be
found the ones of Christ. This passage
was received with applause, which Mr..
Tying Immediately checked, reminding his
auditors that they were in the church of
God, and not lecture room. Mr.. Tying
concluded by exhorting his hearers to hold
fast to the old Catholic doctrine, in the es-
sentials unity; in non-essentials liberty
and in all things charity

THAT GORGEOUS WEDDING.
How Democrats Prosper in New York.


A few wears ago, William VI. Tweed,
now known as BOSS" Tweed, the leader
of the Democracy Of New York city ana
State, was bankrupt cabinet maker. he
worked diligently as ward politician I'D
the great metropolis, and finally became
one of the leaders of Tammany. He is
now member of the State Senate and
controls the State Legislature as well as the
millions of revenue Of the great money
center of the continent. He has made
politics pay. He is head center of that
notorious Democratic ring, the most COR
rupt in the world, and is worth millions,
all of which Le is, charged with having
Numbered from the tax payers Of the city.
AT the recent wedding of his daughter, an
account of which We gave sunday, his ms
sociates in political plundering made dis
play of their rapacity by costly presents.
We give list of few of them as we find
I'm the Times
The presents were chief center of at
traction to the guests. They filled an en-
tire room when crowded close There were
forty silver sets, any one of which would
have attracted crowd If placed in jew
eler's window and one single one con-
tanned two hundred and forty separate
pieces. Mr.. James Fisk, jr., sent a frosted
silver COnITlNance representing All lCtDeIBf
evidently intended to hold ice cream or
some equally frigid substance. The assO-
citation was beautifully sustained by the
presence of Arctic bears reposing on the
icile handles of the bowl and climbing up
the spoons. Singularly enough, Mr.. Fisk
displayd the same taste as superintendent
Kelso, and their offerings were exact du-
plicates. Among the names on the silver
were STANDBY, Norton, Williams, Car
nochan, Miginnis and many others
There were forty pieces of jewelry, of
which fifteen were diamond sets. a single
one Of the latter is known to have cost
forty-five thousand dollars. 1t contained
diamonds, pea size, bore the name Of Mr..
and Mrs. II. w. Genet as donors. A pin
of sixty diamonds, representing a sickle
and sheaves of wheat, was the gift of J.
H. Ingersoll. Peter b. Sweeney's card APP
peared on diamond bracelets of fabulous
magnificence. Cornelius COrson gave q
ring with tiny watch as the seal.
Bronzes, thread lace, Cashmere shawls.
rare pictures, everything that could he
conceived of which is rich and costly filled
the room with splendor.

MEssRs. EDITORS The CHRONICLE
seems to be favorite journal among the
people generally of East Tennessee. They
like it because it works earnestly and dill
gently to develop the slumbering resources
OF our country. Although some of us
don't like your politics, yet take your pa
per, because you devote such liberal
space to local affairs-to common things
yes, to non-political "homespun truck, :"
which all the good people Of East Tennes-
see need and want.
OUR VISITORS FROM THE EAST.
Two gentlemen from the East, both rela-
tives and guests of our neighbor Colonel
Foster, of Caswell Station, have been for
several days past negotiating for the pur-
chase Of the land lying along the railroad
between this point and CaswelPs, a dis
lance Of four miles, which includes some
Of the finest farms in East Tennessee.
These gentlemen are the chosen represen-
tatives of twenty-five others who wish to
come here with their families and estab-
fish an agricultural and manufacturing
colony. They seem to be well pleased with
the country, and it is hoped that they and
their friends will soon be permanently To-
Gated among US but what is likely to be
the result, the writer, at present, is not in
formed.
LEA's SPRINGS.
This popular summer resort has been
opened for the reception of visitors for the
past two weeks. 4 hack line runs daily
between this point and the Springs, dis
lance or twelve miles. MessTs. Croft x
Smith, lessees have spared neither time
nor money to make Lea's just what it
should be, one of the best watering places
in the State, and visitors attending these
Springs may expect TO find good accom-
modatiOns on very reasonable terms. An
additional building will soon be completed,
in which will be a confectionery establish
ment, a barbeI-shop, a ten-pin alley and
billiard hall. There will be a picnic at
the Springs next Saturday, to which the
public generally are invited. y commit
tee of gentlemen l understand, have
already made Arrangements with the hotel
proprietors to prepare for the pic-nictr- a
sumptuou- repa-t.

Horace Greeley.

James Parton once said that Horace
Greeley's name appeared oftener i'm Ameri-
can newspapers than any other man, and
cited it as proof of his wide influence.
ROwells Reporter has published a lot of
nonsense about Horace Greeley as a farmer
some of which are good enough to repro
duce, which we do as follows:
Mr.. Greeley, on his farm, keeps a run
ming account with his hens, double entry.
When hen lays an egg she runs around
the bases, and when she strikes the home
base, where the bOok-ketper is located, she
sings out, tally one" or tally two as
the case may be, because some OF them are
repeaters, and the bOOk-keeper gives her
credit, and charges her for her meals. IN
this way Horace can tell what hens are
Sinking, and how much he makes on each
hen. He says his experience is thar rDD,t-
ers are glaring fraud putting on style
around, and never laying an egg once in
two weeks.
Grant gave liis bufIaio bulls away right
of. He says 10 was all owing 60 Greeley,
who insisted upon il that they mast be
undeT-dFaned and the duru things got
their humps up about H..
Some one wrote Horace Greeley iuguir-
ing Il guano was good to put on potatoes.
He said it might do for those whose tastes
had become Initiated with tobacco and rum,
but lac preferred gravy or butter
An anxious farmer having written to
that accomplished agricultuTist Horace
Greeley, complaining of the wet season,
and asking what can be done to insure a
crop, the great agrieultuTist responds in
his sweetest humOT, advising liberal use
of English red herrings or Dutch pretsels,
and ventures the assertion that they will
create dryness without fail.
An ElmiTa farmer wrote MT. Greeley for
his experience in raising geese for market.
Horace said there was no trouble at all
about it If the gOslings were not weaned
too young. He says they should be allow
ed to run with the old COW and suck until
their horns get out an inch or two when
they will be hardy enough to pack and salt
down for market
