An English Reclorr.

The rectory of Falmouth, n town in
Cornwall, England, about fourteen miles
from Lizard Point, was recently put up
for sale. Many Of the livings Of tho
Church Of England, MS by law establish
ed, are in the gift OF the landed pro.
prietors, and they have the right to up.
point any ministers OF that church whom
they choose to become pastors Of the
Christian flock. When pastor becomes
stricken in years, and the owner OF n
living wants to raise money, he can sell
to the highest bidder the right to mp.
point n successor. The living-that is
the spiritual charge OF tho people in the
parish-is put up ut auction Just like n
horse or IN easy-chair.
The rcctory of Falmouth is worth
about Ct, ZOO or nearly $40, n year.
The incumbent is in his sevcnty-seventh
year, and the income OF the church
property is constantly increasing.
Charles II. gave tho "pnrson of the
parish and his successors forever" the
right to portion Of the earnings OF the
inhabitants of the town, in the shape Of
tax of about thirty.fvc cents year
on oil houses, shops, warehouses, cellars
and outhouses then in existence or
thereafter to be built. Besides this,
there are tithcs and surplicc fees, and
what's known us the Black Rock Beacon
dues, consisting Of fifty cents on every
coasting vessel, and over sixty cents on
every other vessel which shall pass the
beacon. The town thought of buying
the rectory, and thus free itself in part
from these imposts; but high legal
authorities have decided that they never
can be got rid Of.
At the recent auction the sale was
started at about $4,000, and rose by
slow bids to $4,000. The nuctioncer
urged tho value Of the income and the
extreme age Of the incumb cnt, dwelling
on the probability OF his soon dying,
but all in vain. "vCry well, then, Z"

Bad Bill Casey.

The heroism of "Bad Bill Casey" is
told by q Pittsburgh correspondent.
Casey was killed in the recent railroad
accident at Scrubgrass. He is describ-
ed as 80 character who richly deserves
to be done up in verse to have his
name written in characters Of living
light in that book where the good and
evil OF mans thoughts, words and deeds
arc recorded" Casey and number
Of others were confined in n car which
was hurled over the embankment.
The fierce flame OF petroleum sur
rounded the car on every side /; but the
occupants, Casey among the number,
kicked ont the windows, crawled out,
andperched themselves upon the trucks.
At this moment the pitiful cries of
Jimmy Scott, newsboy, was heard, too
small to help himself from the wreck
that entangled his legs. Casey made
his way through the smoke and flame
and water to where the little fellow was.
He entered the wreck in n moment
afterward there was n crash. The
weight OF the trucks Ind caused the
bottom of the car to give way, and all
within, three in number, persisted.
After the fire had been extinguished,
the boy and Classy were found near each
other, the latter fastened in such a
manner'in the wreck that he could not
extricate himself. The fire Ind not
touched hair of his exquisitely.ar.
ranged moustache, and he appeared
so natural Us to be easily recognized by
his acQuaintances, His neatly kidded
hands were firmly clenched, and hi.
arms were perfectly rigid and extended
rs in the act Of clasping the child to
his breast.
His countenance wore look OF stern
determination, us II the stubborn spirit
Ind yielded to the relentless destroyer
not without n fierce struggle. Casey
was about SO years Of nge, q handsome,
reckless, dGvil.may-care fellow, Of
splendid physique, and had tho carriage

liz, he drubbed n man soundly in re-
sentiment for m insult that had been
offered him, and tho editor Of n rurnl
newspaper who commented on the deed
was threatened with having his ears
split. Casey was dcvotcdly attached tc
his aged mother, and though tho years
Of his fast, fierce existence were spent
with associations that cared little fol-

provided for her with every comfort

A 100000 prIze TIcket Stolen.

A curious case in which is involved
the larceny OF Havana lottery ticket
that drew a $4,000 prize, came up Mt
the Jefferson Market Police Court. The
complainant and the defendent are
Greeks. Kietro Thomas is tho not very
Grecinn pntronymic OF the former, while
the latter rejoices in the name OF Men
assas Barscsc. Thomas charges that
fifteen months ago, in Chicago, while
living in the same room with Barsesc,
the latter stole from his pocket q Hav-
nna lottery ticket that had drawn $780,
600 prize. Barsese, who is in business
in New York, admits that he was in
Chicago about the time Of the larceny
but denies ever having any acquaintance
with Thomas. Tho latter stoutly asserts
that BarScse is an old friend OF his. AS
both men speak English very imper-
fectly, the above statements were
elected with great difficulty. Counsel
for the prisoner argued that the theft Of
alottery tickets not larceny, and even If
it were, the ofIense being committed in
Illinois, New York magistrate had no
Jurisdiction. Thomas, after he discov-
cred the larceny, tclegrapled to Havana
and had payment OF the ticket stopped.
The Greek Consul was requested TO
send M interpreter, but refused.

A Singers Troubles.

The most extraordinary divorce case
that has ever occupied the attention Of
the courts in Minnesota, has developed
new phrase to-day, which has created
no little excitement in st. Paul. Some
time ago Mrs. Dodge, the wife Of ossian
E. Dodge, who is extensively known in
NIL parts Of the United States, brought
suit of divorce against her husband
based on alleged infdelity and bad
treatment generally. Mr.. Dodge was
formerly concert singer, and many
years ago gained considerable notoriety
by paying 5000 or more for ticket to
one Of the Jenny Lind concerts. He
aitcrward edited and published week.
" newspaper in Boston, called the
Museum, and finally, after yariousvicis-
STUDIES in Cleveland, Ohio, and else
where, made his way out here, where
he has prospered financially, and at
tanned prominent position among our
business mon. Dodge is q shrewd,
energetic Yankee, is full Of fun, tells q
good story, and sings good song, and
has hosts Of friends in this region.
It may well be imagined that the suit
brought by Mrs. Dodge caused great
deal OF excitement in this community,
forming n general topic of discussion
among all classes. The interest excited
by these proceedings was greatly
heightened when Dodge commenced n
cross action, placing Mrs. Dodge in the
position Of defendant, and introduced
evidence Of the most damaging charac-
ter to the lady's reputation for morality.
But the full mersure OF popular excite
ment was only revealed to-day, when
Mrs. Dodge put in an affidavit in which
she confessed plot to entrap her hus'
band into unfaithfulness; denied oil the
other charges she had heretofore made
against him, and specifically declared
that the counsel, one Finley, who repre-
scented her in tho divorce suit, was the
author OF all her troubles, and the chiei
conspirator against her husband. She
further alleged that sho had been under
the complete control OF Finley, until he
proposed to her to poison her husband,
when she lost all confidence in him and
determined to repair the wrong she had
done.
Tho affidavit made before the Judge
Of the court in which Mrs. Dodge had
brought her suit was presented to Mr.
Dodge's counsel MS they were preparing
to argue against motion for continu
ancc, and was complete surprise t.
them. Finley not being in court the
Judge declined to hear my motion
until he appeared; but Of course thii
affidavit is regarded rs an ond to tht
proceedings in which Dodge occupies
tho position OF defendant. What he
will do now remains to be seen.-iS

Obscene Literature.

which appear in few journals. 1t mp.

Comstock, Of New York, has been work.

tons OF the most loathsomc printed
