THE LATEST SwISDLE.-Certain sanctimonlous
cnaratans would in persuade the world that difl'l-
sive stimulants have no medicinal value, and that
detcsLible slops, composed Of gripping acids and
drastic purgatvcs, better tonics than the finest
vegetable ingredients combined with the purcst and
mellowest products OF the still. But this sort OF

SUDDEN DEATH.-The obituary of Mrs
Kate Theimer, wife Of Mr.. Charles Theimer
appeared in the Dispatch of yesterday. The
circumstances attending the death of this
lady are so sad as to make some notice oi
them not inappropriate. With child OF
one week cid at her breast, she had sent hei
husband with the next youngest to st. Pc.
tcr's cathedral to be baptized. While they
were absent on the performance of this pious
duty the mother was taken with convulsions
and thefater and child returned to the happy
home they had but recently left, to find the
wifi. and mother corpse.

REV. J. A. CHAMBlIsS.-LaSt summer we
published the change Of views of Mr.. Cham
bliss on the communion question, and his
resignation of the waStolate Of the Second
Baptist church in consequence thereof. The
Religious Herald Of this week contains the
following letter from him:
Nessrs. Editors: Several letters have
reached nc from brethren who advocate I'M
restricted communion, asking for su@ges-
tions, arguments. papers, books, &c., TO assist
them in their efforts 10 overthrow the old and
establish new order in some Of our churches.
1t seems worth while, therefore, for Inc to state
distinctly and emphatically that l am not,
and have never been, an advocate of open
communion. Last summer ] expressed an
opinion quite too positively, as | have since
been convinced.) that it was lawful for the un-
baptized to commune. But ut the same time
avowed my purpose to adhere III my own
practice to communion only with RaptiStS,
and to counsel no otherwise, regarding All
other course as incXpedent. The only diff
ference between most other Baptists and
myself ut that time was q Theoretical one.
Now it is still less. A correspondence with
which two or three able brethren have fa-
vored me has shown me the weakness Of a
certain chain of reasoning as no published
|. treatise on the subject had done. Especially
would acknowledge myself greatly indebt-
ed TO Rev. a. j. Brown, Of this State, and to
my father, Rev. DR.. ChambliSs, of kentucky.
Upon the whole, I have only this to say:
It may not he displeasing to tue Saviour for
believers, baptized and unbaptized, to par.
take together of the Lords Supper; it would
scarcely become any one to speak dogmatl-
caily OH that point But 1,loeo no more
than that it is according to His will for Il com.
pany of his baptized followers to celebrate
the Supper 1t is safest, and am satisfied
to walk where the path is plain.

A REAL IMPRovEMENT.-The little boys
who for about two years past have ofiiciated
as conductors on the city railway cars have
at Inst been superseded by grown men, much
to the satisfaction of the patrons of the all
rail route from Rockets to Hollywood.
Ladies can now ride in any car without fear
of annoyance or insult from rude male pas
sengers, and we doubt not that the speed of
the horses will be accelerated by the drivers
having to attend to their teams alone. Colonel
Richardson, the superintendent of the rail-
way, is entitled to the thanks of the conf
ln,lnity for this most desirable change.
