Tilton writes in the Golden Aoe:
Amherst College, the training school
Tor orthodox ministers, Is to have its pro-
fessional corps increased by the addition Of
dancing master. Why not Dancing
is rot only graceful thing in itself and
an innocent and delightful amusement, but
was one of the religious exercises of the
hebrews, whose customs are looked upon
as sacred. The old Puritans never took
kindly to dancing, and prohibited as a sin
whattheir Jewish grandfathcrs regarded
as an act of praise. Scores of tracts hare
been issued against it, and the hardest pull
pit denunciations have been hurled at it.
Only two or three weeks ago a minister
grayely asked his hearers if they could i'm
agines Jesus Christ tripping it Cd the light
fantastic toe through the siddy macs of a
cotilhon, as though the difficulty of con-
ceiving such thing settled the whole
thing forever. And now fe-e is Am
herst, the staunch defender of the orthodox
faith, admitting the dancing master within
its sacred precincts, and encouraging its
students to become disciples of Terpischore
" no can tell where such a thing may lead
to? Think of having a race of dancing
ministers. And try to imagine q council
of elderly dlvines examining candidate
for ordinance in the creed, and then askin-
him to take the step and 60 through the
hgutes OF the Lancers or the Gprmauia
We are not SO much alarmed as plcaset
with the innovation, and are quite certail
that the dancing will improve the div unity

A Good One.

At political meeting the speaker and
audience were very much disturbed by a
man who constantly called for Mr. Henry
Whenever a new speaker came on, this
man bawled out, "Mr. Henry. Henry, Hen
ry! called for Mr.. Henry
After several Interruptions of this kind at
each speech, young man assembled the
platform, and was soon airing his elo-
quence in a magnificent style, striking out
powerfully in his gestures, when the old
cry was heard for Mr.. Henry.
Putting his hand to his mouth like a
speaking trumpet, this man was bawlng
out at top of his voice, .'Mr Henry, Hen
~! Henry. l call for Mr. Henry to make
a speech
The chairman now rose, and remarked
that it would oblige the audience, if the
gentleman would refrain from any farther
calling for Mr.IIenry, as the gentleman was
now speaking.
sis that Mr.. Henry!" said the disturber
Of the meeting. Thunder! that can't be
Mr.. Henry. Why, that's the little cuss
that told me to hollcr."

The Sparta Herald says winter wheat
crop looks splendidly in that section of the
country, also early spring wheat. Grass
and all kinds of vegetation improves rapid
ly under the long spell of cool rainy wea-
Their.
The present prospect for fruitful season
in Green Lake county, although not as fiat
tering as last year, is considerably better
than an average one. Apple, pear, and
cherry trees are in full bloom and give
promise of bountiful harvest. There is
a POOR show for the better kinds of plums,
but wild plums and all the small fruits are
doing finely.
According to the Tomah Journal, wheat
is doing finely under the influence of the
cool, moist weather, and at present the
prospects of a large crop are good.
The Elkhorn Independent says notwith-
standing the late spring the growing crops
are coming on gloriously. There never
was better prospect for fine crop than
there is at present.
We learn from the Green Bay Gaze tie
that wheat and other grains look remark
ably well in that section just now: small
fruits bid fair to be plenty, but the yield of
apples will probably be small.
The Mansion .StGr says that wheat is
thickenlng and roofing for large crop.
This cool, cloudy weather is just the thing
for wheat.
In Fond du Lac county some of the
corn, planted week before last, is coming
up, but most Of it is not Farmers whose
corn has not come up say that it is sprout-
ing all right. A week or two of warm
weather would set the corn forward
nicely.
The Brandon Times says that prospect
for large fruit crop is good.
In Shcboygan county the prospects for
an abundant yield of all kinds of fruits and
berries never looked better.
From all parts Of Crawford county comes
the report that winter wheat never looked
better at this season of the year, and that
spring wheat and oats are now looking
splendidly.

The English Anti-Tobacco Society,
wanting evidences Of the evil effects of the
weed, took into their service Prof. New
man. He had never used the stuff in any
form, and the arrangement was that he
should take good smoke, get sick, and
then describe the horrible sensations in a
course of lectures. The Professor got his
pipe and smoked about half an hour, and
singularly enough he did not get sick at
all; and, so far from being utterly disgust
cd, he just keeps on smoking, aud the
Society folks are little discouraged.

For the first time in eleven years, bot h
houses of Congress have now their COM
plement of members, this result having
been attained by the admission on vester-
day, of MIR. Rogers, representative of
North Carolina, whose disabilities were re-
moved by the recent amnesty bill. The
eonsummaton is a gratifying one, but it is
one OF the greatest outrages in the history
of this or any other country, that it has
not been realized at least six year. ago
What this delay has cost the nation and

is beyond human calculation.
