REV: Mr.. MURRAY CRITICIsED.-An organ
ization called the Lowell Preachers Evangeli-
cal Association hold frequent meetings for con-
ference and discussion. 1t has transpired that
at a late meeting it was decided to censure or
to publicly disapprove of some of the liberal
views taken by the Rev. w. H. II. hurry in
his recent lecture under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association of Boston,
also to disapprove of public theatricals given
for purposes of revenue by members of relig
ious society. The latter is supposed to refer to
the Charming Fraternity dramatic entertain
ments at Music Hail. connected with Rev. Mr..
Blanchard's Church (Unitarian) which have
been largely patronized by the elite of Boston.

The Late President Lincoln.

An article of Mr. Wells, Secretary Of tho
Navy under Mr. Lincoln has appeared in the
April number Of the Galaxy, aud will be read
with interest. According 10 Mr. Wells, when
the war ended, the objcct OF Mr. Lincoln was
to effect a reconciliation as soon as possible
Indeed it may be doubted whether, if left to
himself, there would have been any war; but
the same evil influences which prevailed then
over the dictates Of humanity aud true policy
sought to hamper and obstruct him when he
endeavorei to restore tie States 10 their former
position in the Union. TIE assassination of
Mr. Lincoln was as senseless and suicidal as it
was brutal and wicked The ultra-Rsdi-
Gals were the chief gamers by it, and their
leaders were no doubt in their hearts glad that
it happened. 1t is true that they found eat
afterwards that johnson was not more subser-
Went than Lincoln would have been, but this
they could not anticipate. Lincoln aud John
son, though Union men, were both natives of
the South, and could not extinguish all natural
sympathies, as well as justice and regard for
the constitution -Lyackb,ug Ners.

DEFERRED ARTICLES.
Political Preachers.

Don PiAtt, Of the Washington Capital,
hasn't very much faith in theprayers Of pOli;i-
cal preachers Hear him:
THE LoRD's STUMP ORATOR is an Ameri-
can product Other lands have produced hot
gospelcrs Of political turn, bu, It vas left for
the free people Of America 10 set up and sus-
tain the true, genuine, original specimen who
iujects political questions into prayers and
makes a petition to the Throne Of Grace a
means by which 10 lecture the Almighty and
abuse political opponents. lfthere is anything
in worse taste-Or, indeed, more blssphcmous
we DO not know of il. We do not object TO a
minister giving a stump speech from his pull
pit 10 his congregation. lie may pound Bis
Bible and perspire 70 any extent the congrega-
tion will put up with. That Is the business
Of the congregation But when 1t comes 70
prayer that Christ our Savior guarded 50 well
as 20 leave Us the exact words in which the
petition should be framed, we enter our solemn
protest to the stump orator.
The base uses to which this may be put had
a udicrous illustration once in our native
wilds. a little meck-eyed man, known as
" Old Choptanks," had his wife arrested for an
assault aud battery. He complained that
while at his evening deyotions, when lie was
calling upon the Lord TO bless their humble
household, she came at him with the fire shovel,
and the poor fellows broken bead aud batter
ed condition gave evidence beyond question Of
the lively manner in which the usually harm
less instrument had been used. However,
when the stout, healthy female was called up
on to state her case, she said that ChOptauks
was, as anybody knew, a shackess, worth
less feler, dependent on her for hving; he
didn't earn enough to feed a pewee, much as
she tried to make him work. Well, since he
jibed them Newlights, a. they call themselves,
he had taken 10 abusin' bis lawful wife in bis
prayers. This night he tells about he was on
his lazy marfow-boues a hollerin' out "Oh
Lord, look down on this black hearted woman,
(Meaniu' me,) this backslider aud slanderer,
and abuser, and lift her fact out Of the mire
and the clay onto the rock where ! stand. oh
Lord, thou knowest that she is wicked aud
mean, and full Of lies and deceit" Us then
come up on him with the fire shovel, an ef !
didn't knock all that religion out Of his lazy
carcass my name amt Sary. There now,
fetch on yer bears, for el be tries them prayers
again I'll try the shovel"
The place where tie Lords stamp orator
thrives the best is As chaplain Of some legisla-
tive body. How be does instruct the Almighty
in the doings Of the body Of which be said
chaplsinl is an official part. and how be does
lecture and abuse his political opponents

Z Strange Burglar.

About o'clock last night he attention of
Policeman Scheerer was attracted by the rap
ping at one Of the upper windows Of the ware
house, No. 2C5 West Baltimore street. He bad
but short time previously tried the door aud
found it sccuse, but when he again pressed
heavily asainsti it few open. The proprietor
Of the foor when the noise was heard, was
then sent for, and before he reached the place
a crowd Of several hundred persons had assem-
bled. Their appeared no doubt that burglar
was in the building, and to capture him was
the great object, and certainly there wcro
enough persons present to capture battalion
Of them had they been in the house. As soon
the upper floor was reached by the police q
search begun, butnoman could bofound. Finally
Policeman Scheerer discovered perched on the
window sash a woodpeeker, which had getinto
the room through a broken window, and was
trying to peck bis way out again. The bird
was captured ard taken to the Office Of the
Marshal whittier burglars are usually taken,
aud thus ended the cause Of the gathering Of
thing so great as to almost entirely obstruct
the passage Of the street cars.-BcH Gazette.
