A MOuthful Of Eggs.

An 1rishman has for some months kept
an egg stand in Court Street Market. He
was accommodating, courteous, polite, and
upon suitable occasions fond of Joke.
With his customers these qualities made
him grow in ia vor, and so his business
fiourished. Upon his shrewdness he in
dnlged in special pride, fattering him
self that it was an exceedingly difficult
matter to "take him ill.," Yesterday
morning he met his match-that is, accor-
ding to the Judgment of disinterested OBJ
servers. A huge Switzei, whose youthful
muscles had been hardened by toiling up
Alpine sleeps, clambering over mountain
rocks, and, with rasped heel and noun
taineer's crook, gliding at railroad speed
down glaciers, approached his market
stand. He was, indeed muscular, heavy
>.jawed customer. "Here is fifty cents will
give you for mouthful of eggs" said the
Alpine mountaineer, laying down the fifty
cents by the egg-dealer's cash box, and
looking his man straight in the eyes. Our
egg merchant surveyed his customers
mouth, took i'll its capacity at single glance
turned his eyesa moment 20 the sky, thcn
lifting them, looked right into the face of
his customer, answering: eyes, for one
mouthful of eggs, I'll take you at your
word" "Done," said the customer, 'take
your money, and III take my mouLhful."
The dealer whipped the half dollar into his
money box, and the brawny Switzer, seiz-
ing one board of a twenty-five dozen box,
full to its capacity, between his Teeth walk
ed off with it, his hands hanging free by his
side.
He had gone ABOUT twenty-five yards
when tine dealer saw the SELL" repented
him of his bargain, and started in pursuit
of his remarkable customer. The dealer
caught his man, and choked him until he
let his whole mouthful of eggs, box and all
drop on the pavement. The eggs turned
out and broke spontaneously into raw
custard. The bystanders laughed their
sides sore, shouted, and hunaed for the
Switzer. The lrishman said the terms of
the bargain had not been complied with.
Tho Switzer said that they had, and the
crowd took sides with him. "Pay me for
twenty-five dozen of my eggs" said the
dealer. "Give me back my half dollar and
take your eggs" said the customer. SO it
went. A policeman was called to arrest the
customer, and then, upon consideration, let
him go. Then the Irishman thought he
would fight it out but upon taking in the
dimensions of his customer, reconsidered
his determination. The Switzer left his
card, and the dealer intends to appeal to
the courts for decision of the question,
"What constitutes mouthful of eggs ?"

The Beggars, Bridge.

The Grand Duke of Florence, it is said,
once proclaimed that every beggar who
would appear in the grand plaza at GER
tain designated time, should be provided
with new suit of clothes, free of cost. At
the appointed hour the beggars of the city
assembled, whereupon the officers caused
each avenue of the public square to be clos
ed, and then compelled the beggers to
strip off their clothes, and gave to each
one, according to promise, new suit. In
the old clothes thus collected, enough
money was found concealed, to build
beautiful bridge over the Arno, still called
the Beggars' Bridget 7!uol

NO CUARTER.
among us,

Additional illustrations of the blunders OF
the Legislature which has just adjourned are
continually coming to the surface. The Gov
errors veto of the so-called Palmer Char
ter, whether sound in all its argu-
ments or not, nevertheless brings out the
imperfections of tho Charter and the Reg
istry law hastily passed by the Legislature
as they were about to adjourn. No action
was taken on either of these important meas
ures until the session had wasted to its close;
and it seems to have been expected that this
makeshift of a charter would be turned over
to us with all its shortcomings, coupled
with Registry law utterly incompati-
bic Herewith. We cannot have both,
since they will not work together
without working mischief so we are apparently
to have neither. The Charter would precip-
itate an important election upon us within
two weeks, and the Registry would disfran-
chise thousands of citizens who have changed
their places of abode within the year.
This is bad showing for a Legis
lature which calls itself one of Reform,
though, without any thanks to it, We
can manage to get along toleraby well
with the Ring broken and swept out, and
honest men occupying the chief Departments
of the City. These reforms we have accom-
plished for ourselves, not by Legislative as
sistance. But, when the Legislature was taken
possession of by Custom-house Ring,
who elected the Speaker, controlled the
management of affairs, and crowded
honest Reformers into back seats, it lost
its claim to the respect and confidence Of
the people. Then RefOrmers washed their
hands of the whole concern; and we are
to-day cheated of one-half the valuable fruits
of the great popular campaign of last Fall
because the management of the Legislature
merely passed from one Ring to another.

PL1TEORMH IND PARTIEN.

When parties cease to have principles to
fight for, they either divide on fresh issues,
coalesce or become cooperative societies for
the attainment of office, grow corrupt, and rot
away. What distinctive principles separate

Slavery is dead, the negroes have the

On all this the parties agree.

GENERAL PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.

The Presbyterian General Assembly met
Yesterday in Detroit, and organized. The SER
mon. preached by the retiring Moderator, u.
NJ. Humphreys ID. D., is especially noticeable
from the unconscious sharpness and accuracy
with which it defines the present position of the
great Presbyterian body in the religious world.
The Presbyterian, in all ages, more than any
other Christian, has founded his faith on hard
syllogisms. Other scots might be wooed into
true life here or blessed one hereafter by
means of their emotional natures; feeling,
passion, tears, joy; even music or color might
be called on to help them on their way but
the Calyinist built his path ont of inexorable
logic, and if inexorable logic led him down
among the condemned, instead of up with
the elect, he was grimly content, and gave
God the praise. Whether we agree
with him or not, The faith of the man
who would submit to his own damna-
ton rather than doubt or impugn his reading
Of one line of Holy Writ has in it much of
the sublime. "The genius of Presbyterianism,n
says DR.. Humphreys, dis always found hold
cling its lamp over the sacred page, and
"readng it, brOadsword laid over its leaves"
We all know how long its broadsword (both
real and spiritually has been unsheathed, and
how fercoly welded; its enemies may hint,
not to defend the sacred page SO much as its
own lamp.
But the warlike times for this Church, as
for most others, are over. PresbyteYianism is
now 10 longer in danger of suffering persecu-
ton or of being able to inflict it; which sim
pie facts may furnish plain and sufficient
reasonfOr the change in its speech and tenn
per noted by the good Doctor, its growth
in spirituality and in benevOlence, both
of action and feeling. Men flying across
the ocean for freedom to worship God, or in
tent on keeping out of their new-found sane
tuary the heresies which they deemed SO
damnable, may have been excused for occupy
ing themselves unreasonably with their own
doctrines and the salvation of their own
souls. But in these later days, when jew and
Gentle, Churchman aud Catholic, Mormon
and Baptist are suffered to build their tenn
pies peaceaby side by side, and look on
smilingly at each other, the Christian, of
whatever name, can afford to lose sight of
the care of his own immediate concerns
and essay TO help his brother. Hence
has come the new desire for unity In the
Presbyterian Church, and its quickened mis-
| sionary spirit. The junction between the
several bodies Of this peculiarly argumentatiyc
sect was in fact one of the most significant
signs for years of Christian progress among
us. DR.. Humphreys hopes that all dissensiOns
in his Church may be healed why not go a
step further and look forward to the breaking
down of doctrinal barriers between all ser
wants of Christ and Their cordial working to-
gether for the help of His children, with no
more probability of dissenSion because one

1--WE live in an age" he says, "when
Mechanics and Trade threaten to eclipse the
"Cross," which by no means proves that
Mechanics and Trade are out Of their place,
but that the religion of the Cross is out Of
hers. When Christianity is made as everyday
a matter in the actual world, as attractive TO
men mentally, os potent in its force on every
whit of their outside lives as business or
science, it will command the attention of the
same class of thinkers. and our churches will
be filed with the foremost and weightiest
men Of the community, instead of too largely
with children and women. 1t is high time
that Christ's truth should no longer be obscured
by technical verbiage, bgotry, and doctrinal
mists, until it has come to pass with too many
for mere mystical theory out of which dream
ers, the sick, and the aged cOntrive comfort
ably TO bridge over death; it should be known
in its real place as the spirit of life in all the
progress which man has ever made or can
make. The Presbyterian General Assembly
have their share of work to do with the
others in bringing it out Of their especial holy
place, and making it felt in every reform or
question of the day. 1t is not the spirit OF
