The Clerical Villain of Baltimore.
From the Baltimore american, zen. %.


The apparent effort making by GER
tain parties to shield the Rev. L. D. Hus-
ton, late pastor of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church South, from the charge
of seducing several children connected
with the Sabbath School of st. Paul's
Church of the same denomination, has
induced US to thoroughly investigate
the matter. The result of this investi-
CATION has satisfied us that more base
and black hearted villain never dis
graced any walk of life than the Rev.
L. D. Huston has shown himself to be.
One of the victims whose young life
has been blighted by the touch OF the
seducer was pupil of the Western Fe-
male High School, the daughter of
lady well known to many of the people
of Baltimore as a lady of culture and
refinement. She was a fair scholar,
stood well in her classes, and, up to the
day of the melancholy discovery, there
never was anything in her conduct that
excited the least suspicion on the part
of her companions or her teachers.
Two years ago he took her out with
him nominally for the purpose of a
walk, bus really to an designation house
kept by colored woman whom he had
brought here from Virginia, where he
accomplished her ruin. Subsequently
he often took her to this and other as
signation houses, and taught her, in her
childish innocence, that there was
nothing wrong in it, at the same time
frequently making her swear, with her
hand upon the Bible, that she would
not divulge the matter to her mother or
any living soul.
But this is not all the villainy charged
against this monster. The girl ayers
that Dr. Huston had taught her to be-
lieve that such things were common.
He told her to pick out among her ac
quaintances any young man that she
thought would best serve the purpose,
and invite him to take her to one of the
houses to which he had so frequently
taken her. His object evidently was to
blast her character for reliability in case
any disclosures should at any time be
be made against him, and the letter
subsequently intercepted by hermother
was undoubtedly written by him and
signed by another name to throw doubt
on the mothers mind as to the truth of
the revelations her daughter had made
to her. No such person lived at the
house where the letter was dated from,
and no such person was known by the
daughter. 1t was forgery for the OBJ
ject of blasting the credibility of the
unfortunate child.
We have Intentionally alluded to but
one victim, and the sorrowing mother
and child beg us to mention none 9TH
ers, as they would shield his other vic
Tins from the sorrow which has almost
crushed their hearts. Suffice it to say
that there we're other children whom
he held in the same wicked snare, who
visited the same places with him, and
who were bound by like oaths not to
divulge the secret. They fortunately
have not been brought to the public
gaze, but outraged parents would have
taken the life of the villain if he had
not precipitately left the city.

A Field for Doctors.

A recent official reports that last year
there were 10000 doctors in Russia.
OF this number Glib held public APP
pointments, 1856 confined themselves
to private practice. This gives only
about one doctor to 1882 of the inhabi-
tants, basing the calculation Cd the
most recent returns of the population.
There are districts in Russia where
there is no doctor within less than a
days journey, and in some parts it is
probable that there is still greater diff

Hard Water VS.. Soft Water.

Every now and then scientific
opinion, upon which the world has long
acted, is attacked by somebody who
undertakes to show that it is not scien-
tific at all. An English physician now
declares that hard water is better than
soft, in proof of which he adduced the
fact that the best specimens of the Eng
lish race are to be found i'll hard water
districts, and shows that the general
death rate in England is lowest where
the water is hardest, and highest where
it is softest.

The Prince of Wales-Great Rejoicing
Over his Recovery.

The celebration at London on the
9th ult. in honor of the recovery of
the Prince of Wales was of the grand
est character. The streets were throng-
ed and the houses and public places
were gorgeously decorated. Spectators
were numbered by millions. The Royal
procession commenced to move from
Buckingham Palace at half-past IL
a. m. As the Queen left the courtyard
of the palace chorus of 10000 children
sang the national anthem, "God save
the Queen" The services at st. Paul's
consisted of singing, by grand chorus,
of Tie De,tna, written for the occasion,
from Psalm us; the reading of pray
ers, and sermon by the Archbishop of
Canterbury.
At the conclusion of the religious SER
vices, the procession formed again and
moved westward. The whole route to
and from the cathedral was seven miles
in length, and the procession was four
hours in motion. The best estimates
place the number of spectators who wit
messed its passage at 100000. There
were 1000 troops, besides the London
police, engaged in keeping the streets
clear, that there might be no Interrupt
tons or accidents. Along the entire
route strong fences were erected, and
behind these were double files of in
fantry and police to keep the eager
crowd from overthrowing the barriers,
and obstructing the passage Of the pro-
cession. Every shop and house along
the route brought a fabulous rental. Or
binary fourstory buildings were let for
9l00 for the day. One vacant space
brought e400
The decorations are said to have sur
passed anything ever before known. AT
the crossing of harrington street was
splendid triumphal arch erection, which
cost $4,000. Another, hardly less
splendid, spanned Oxford road. Flags,
festoons, tapestry, wreaths of every con-
ceivable character we're displayed from
housetops and windows, and across
streets, and perfect wilderness of scar
let, gold, and blue cloth, gold fringe,
and other gorgeous decorations waved
from balconies and porticos. The Amer
leans in the city were active in contrib
uting to the success of the day. Next
to the British, the American flags were
most numerous. Both were often inter

Union, the best settlement Of the Ala
bama question: etc. The offices of
London representative of American
newspapers, and the West End Office of
the Associated Press were finely deco
rated.
Batteries of artillery Numbered sa-
lutes from several points along the line
as the procession moved, and the bells
of all the churches in the metropolis
added their peals to the joyful din.
In spite of the great excitement
which existed among the enormous
masses of spectators, there was little or
no disorder. Several serious accidents
happened, owing to the pressure of
great masses of spectators on the line
of the procession. One man was crushed
to death in Trafalgar Square. and num-
bers Of people were more or less injured.
Two stands, each containing $50 per-
sons, fell and many were badly bruised.
