The Cheenev Casa Again.

In the Circuit Court at Chicago, on
Monday, in the Cheney case, Judge
Williams overruled the demurrer fled
by the defendants, but refused to grant
Temporary injunction to: restrain the
vestrymen from diverting the funds of
the parish to the support of the depos
ed rector. The decision was upon q
bill filed by certain members Of thu,
Episcopal Church against Charles E.
Cheney, rector, and the vestrymen
and wardens of said church, praying
tor preliminary injunction restraining
Cheney from officiating as minisrer,
and the wardens and vestrymen from
permitting his ministration, and from
using the revenues of the parish for
his support. The defendants filed
their several demurrers to the bill of
complaint. The rector AMI the trea-
surer, in their demurrers, alleoe that
the bill il defective for want of equity.
and for want of proper parties. The
opinion of the court is q verv
lengthy and exhaustive review
of the entire case, together
with the arguments of the counsel. and.
while it overrules the demurrers of the
~CAo0ueSuVoS uCuAO0 WIG Hppl1C1t1Ou 1OT
q temporary injunction. The effect of
this intermediate decision is to contin-
no the Rev. Cheney in bis ministra-
tions in the parish of Christ Church
Tor the present, and pending the de-
cision upon the application for . per:
manent injunction, which case will
come up in its regular term on the
court docket. The main point in the
decision denying the temporary iniunc.
ton appears to be. that there can be no
pressing necessity for the immediate
serving of the bond because Cheney
and his parish are opposed to
such action. The court argues that
under such circumstances such action
could result only in pecuniary loss to
the parish, and that as the pecuniary
rights of the defendants and the church
majority they represent are not larger
than those represented by the COM
plainauts, the property interests of the
compliments can be but slightly pref
udiced by refusing to grant the motion
for preliminary Injunction, while
those of the defendants might be most
injuriously and perhaps permanently
affected by its allowance. The final
decision in this matter will not be
reached until the case comes up in
regular order on the motion for a per-
manent injunction.

Velocity OF Electricity.

The velocity of electric waves through
the Atlantic cable has been ascertained
to be from 1000 to $500 per second.
Telegraph wires upon poles in the air,
conduct the electric waves with q We.
locity more than double the rapidity,
the transmission increasing with the
height. Wires slightly elevated trans
init signals with q velocity of $4,000

BLOODSUCKERS,


Leeches are familiar things to those
who have been much under medical
treatment for acute diseases, within the
last thirty years. They seem to be CO.
ing out of fashion, even among fash
ionable doctors, it being pretty we'll e.
tablished that the punctures made by
their saw-teeth, by which piece of the
wall of a blool-vessel is taken ont,
sometimes produces an anomalous in
hammation as bad as the malady for
which they are prescribed.
MIR. Brickmore, scientific traveller,
passed through = section of country
near Sumatra where leeches were so ex-
cessively numerous as to be q terror.
They even dropped down from trees on
passing animals and men, depicting
them rapidly, and if not quickly re-
moved would drain out oil the blood in
the body.
His horsewas stripped with their own
blood. A dog looked az though he had
been run through pool of clotted
gore: OF all the pests in the tropics,
whether mosquitoes, black flies, ants,
snakes, or viler vermin, these leeches
are the most annoying and disgusting.
How they were ever introduced into
the practice of medicine is just as sur
prising as some other absurdities sane
toned by science in an age of common
sense and cultivated intelligence, and
by turning to books of authority it will
be found that pulverized skull bones
OF an executed criminal, and very much
later, even in modern times, miileoedes
acknowledged insects-were ia

In 1871 we tried it on q still larger

on chickens, not trying to get eggs :;
consequently, the average number OF

pure stocks, and q few ducks and tur-
keys. We Matched about 2,OOO chick
ems, and will probably raise about l, OO0

sitting on 767 eggs, and Is OF 80 hens
were covering several hundred chick
ems. The season was very poor for
raising poultry-so- many heavy
storms; in one storm We lost over 70
birds. We also find that crows are
very fond of chickens, over 800 being
charged to them a real man is the

color and quality, and enclosed in plain
cotton bags or sacks, weighing,.from five
to ten pounds each. These sacks are
placed in the barrel or firkin, fresh
and sweet, and as the brine completely
covers them they can be kept in this
condition for any length of time, it is
claimed, without any deterioration in
quality. One great advantage that is
claimed for this new style of packing
is, that dealers CON take ono or more
of the bags from the original package,
leaving the rest safe under cover of the
brine and excluded from the air. The
bags are suited to the retail trade, as
they are just about what is generally
needed for family use, but are at the
same time SO conveniently arranged
that any smaller amount can be cut

CuriOsities or Sciences.
INTERCOURSE WITH PLANETS.

In the wild flights of fancy the
thought has been excited in regard to
the possibility of knowing more Of
these great moving planetary bodies in
the armament than has already been
chronicled.
Certain it is there is a mighty gulf
between them and this world that can
never be crossed, as balloons cannet
rise enough to get beyond tho attrac-
ton OF the earth to pass into the sphere
of attraction of another, so as to fall to
it. Therefore, if anything more definite
is known respecting their physical as.
pect, composition, products, inhabit-
ants, or other particulars illustrative of
their character, it must be acquired
through telescopic explorations.
Since there is no really apparent linn
itation to the increase OF retroactive
power of those instruments, the larger
the object glass and the more perfect
the lenses, all Of which are constantly
improving and tending towards a degree
OF perfection not yet attained, It is
reasonable TO suppose, if there are large
structures, extensive forests, broad
rivers, or living beings in the planets,
future students of astronomy will dis
cover them. 1t is taking q very mar
row view of Creative Wisdom to settle
down with the contracted notion that
unnumbered planetary bodies, by the
side of which our earth is an insi0nifi.
cant speck, were only made to twinkle
in the sky for the qualification of q few
star-gazers, bats and owls.
BURROw1N0 ANIMALS AND 1NsRCrs.
An astonishing number and variety
OF solitary worms, slugs, beetles, etc.,
and moles, mice, squirrels, including
innumerable earth-diggers, have their
homes from few inches to foot or
two below the ground. Apparently, to
our short sighted comprehension of
natures grand system of economy,
they are useless, needless, and pesti-
ferrous annoyances.
A true philosopher, however, sees in
their habits, their instructive regulari-
ty OF action, instrumentalities for
bringing about important results on
which operations of the most compli-
Gated kind are essentially depending.
They are each in their own individual
sphere Of activity preparing the soil for
sustaining higher forms Of vegetable
and animal life. They pillow burrows,
make openings for the ingress of water
for fertilizing roots, and, in short, the
surface of the earth in temperate zones
would, without their incessant toll, be-
come SO hard, compact and impervi.
GUS, serious consequences would be
apparent, which civilized man, with all
his resources in art, could not accom-
plish so well and so perfectly as these
insignificant and quiet operators.
There is harmony, an adjustment
of means to ends, in the arrangement
of natures scheme of doing all for the
best, which challenges our admiration,
while it astonishes the profoundest
thinker.
