Tie news comes by telegraph of a jeaIou,
lover breaking the head of a clergyman at
cincinnati because the latter had taken the
liberty OF kissing his betrothed 1t is strange
IL vi. W of all the scandal that has come upon
the cloth through such occurrences that clerpv-
men should not be more guarded in their deport-
ment They are flesh and blood, like other men
ard there is no reason why they should permi
themselves freedoms that would be considered
improper in other men. Yet i is not an infre
quent thing to see minister indulging in little
caresses.o of the females of his flock in, what he
doubtless considers an innocent paternal sort of
way, but way TO which fathers, husbands
brothers and lovers sometimes seriously object
though they do not always enforce that objec-
ton 18th Ratchet, as did the young man of
Cincinnati. Another thing; in view of the Hus-
ton affair and similar scandals, ministers should
under 10 circumstances allow themselves to
hold private Interviews with women or girls
BY following this rule they will save them
selves, on the one side from temptation, and on
the other from the devices of blackmailers.

The New York Tribune has an app reel alive
article upon the vast improvement operations
gong on IN Washington, and says that "by the
means or them the distances of the city are be-
coming absolutely, as well as metaphoricaIly,
magnificent the carriage wheels roll over con-
crete or wooden pavement as if they rolled on
velvet, and the width OF the streets is broken
by the turf which has been sodded ON a space
wider than the old sidewalk, by rows oftrees,
or by the beds Of dowers and the tiny fountains
with which more enterprising citizens have or
namented the plots before their own doors,
In conclusion the Tribune writer says: at will
not need the half OF a decade to make US think
that Washington wants nothing but q hundred
tossing fountains among her marble palaces i'm
order to eclipse all the cities OF the world" By
the way, we must Ask Mr.. whitelaw Reid, who
marriages both the Tribune, and the canvass for
his Chief with unmstakeable tact and ability,
70 see to it that Greeley drops his crotchety cap
tal-moving projects when 90 be is elected.
After spending so much labor and money in
beautifyi ing the capital we don't want Horace
to come along and tell US to "Go west, d-n
you
