IT is reported that Bishop Armitage,
Of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese Of
Wisconsin, has advised young Episcopal
ministers who purpose to begin their Off
eial life in that State not to get married
if their gay is too small for the support
of family. He suggests that they shall
wait for connubial felicities until they
are properly established" This GER
tainly appears to be very sensible advice,
whether it is given to budding clergymen
or to young men who are about to engage
in secular occupations. ANY man who
marries while he has an insufficient in
come for the comfortable support Of a
wife and for the proper maintenance of q
prospective family of children, runs a
serious risk OF placing upon himself a
burden which will weigh heavier upon
him as life advances, until it becomes
nearly uncomfortable. In the case OF
clergymen they should receive sufficient
remuneration for their services, because
an organization which takes a mans
time and services should pay him fairly
for it, and particularly should religious
societies fulfill this duty, because. as
rule, they refuse TO permit their minis
ters to pursue secular avoeations in con-
junction with the duties Of their sacred
calling.

CHICAGO, July l9.-The trial OF M. r.
Sherwin in the Criminal Court for rape
on Bertha Kaninka, heretofore noted in
dispatches, resulted yesterday forenoon
in his sentence to the penitentiary for
five years. Every endeavor was made
to buy off the parties and hush the mat
ter up, but it was no 60.
DAVENPORT, Ia, July l9.-The long
contested suit Of the city VS.. b. F. Allen,
receiver, has been decided in favor Of
the city. The suit was brought to re-
cover share Of the railroad moneys in
the hands of the defendant in the origi-
nal subscription for building the Missis-
sippi aud Missouri railroad
GREEN BAY, Wis, July l9.-The two
men who robbed Dickerson & Co. s
store at the Bernsbeins House, a few
days ago at Milwaukee, were caught al
Shawano last night. As the Sheriff was
taking them to a place Of lodging in
New London at $3.50 pm. vigilance
committee of citizens Of New London,
numbering fifty or sixty men, seized the
prisoners and carried them into the
country, and putting a moose around
their necks and the rope over a limb,
choked them into a confession Of the
crime and made them tell where the
goods and money we're concealed. They
were returned TO the Sheriff aad COM
miited TO Jail to await their trial.
At Lombard, on the West Wisconsin
railroad, two men we're found beside the
track, one dead and the other lying

TORTURE IN VERMONT INSANE AsY-

Recently Legislative committee was
appointed in Vermont TO investigate the
condition Of the Vermont Asylum foI
the Insane at Brattleboro. The report
of the committee was filled with as
founding disclosures that have aroused
a feeling Of Indignation and disgust
wherever they have become known. The
reports show that barbarous punish
ments we're inflicted upon the helpless
inmates. many Of whom were confined
in underground apartments entirely I'M
ft for habitations Of human beings.
-Four hundred and eighty-6ve persons
were crowded together in buildings
which barely had accommodations fer
three hundred. Most startling Of all, it
has been proven beyond doubt that sane
people have been immured in this place
without hope of escape; but how many
such unfortunates have suffered will
probably never be known. The investi-
CATION was brought about and is due to
the discovery that the Rev. Peter b.
Shaw, an aged Presbyterian clergyman,
had been imprisoned in the asylum while
perfectly sane, through the influence OF
his son-in-law who had control of prop
erty belonging to him. In another case
when an unfortunate got out on a writ
of habeas corpus the superintendent
Of this lovely institution produced
what purported to be an original medl'
cal certificate certifying as TO the insan-
ity Of the patient, but it turned out some
time afterward that the certificate pro-
duced was forgery. Numerous other
instances were cited to show that per-
sons had been committed to this torture
house as insane persons merely for the
purpose Of putting them out of the way
to make room for their relatives and
heirs, or to wreak the vengeances and
revenges Of private enemies. Many Of
the unfortunates have been confined in
this place for years. These revelations
so black have aroused the indignation
of the press. Loud calls have been
made to arouse public attention to the
necessity for thorough reform in the
treatment of the insane and the manage
ment Of asylums.

New York Times Vienna Letter
They have not invented anything. |
sneak, certainly, without reference TO
the very old times when they may have
invented a great deal IL is incontesta-
BILE, however, that they exhibit extraor-
binary aptitude in utilizing the inven-
tons OF others. In some places in this
slow old Europe Of ours, they have run at
belle idee as pike rushes ut spin
ming minnow and carries il clear of to
gorge at discretion alone. The tele-
graph, for instance Baron Reuter- fur
nishes the news Of the world TO all the
English papers and to many of the
foreign journals. Wolf provides the
news of Central Europe. These are
quite OF Israel. Then there is the
Agence Havas, which may be consider
ed as much inspired, II not owned, by
the same great people. Europe is under
these thumbs. Aud in these days news
is money. And now money often means
news-in war it is indeed almost identi-
cal, aud no people understand that bet
ter than the parsimonious Prussiaus who
lavished gold for intelligence. Here in
Vienna, as in other places, the Press is
largely worked, owned, written and
largely influenced by Jews. They
have appreciated the importance of
helding the end of such lever in
their hands, and have not neglected its
use. Their general sympathies are OPP
posed TO Roman Catholicism, which is
aggressive, but they do not love the
Greek church. They are distracted
somewhat between their democratic and
liberal principles and the effect which
would be produced on ancient States by
n vigorous application Of them. Ger
tainly they have reason to be proud OF
their race, which, despite the heavenly
malediction and the hate of Christendom,
has now taken possession Of so much of
the goods of this world without striking
a blow in battle or sustaining the bur
dens Of national life In music, in
money-making, in politics, they play a
great part. A Jew owns the purest vim
tages, the best cigars and some OF the
finest horses in the world, not to speak
of paintings, statuary, jewels and china,
and as the civilization of the world adj
vanees so does the jew come TO the front,
not of the combat, but of the cleaners,
who gather the fruits of victory. la
Vienna there are more Jews than crossed
the Jordan with Joshua to smite the
tribes of Canaan. In the Austrian EN-
pire there are as many Jews as there
were in Judea in the time OF Titus-far
more than there were in the captivity.

WHEN Mr.. Theodore Tilton, OF the

article on Victoria Woodruff he had a
much higher opinion Of the fair sex
than he seems to have at present. In
reply to lady correspondent. who in
sisted that women we're no better than
men," Theodore editorially says: She
says that women are not better than men.
This is true But neither are they worse.
There is a good deal Of human nature
both in men and women. We all have
our common root and bloom in the aver
age morality Of our times. Society bears
a little harder on womanly than manly
derelictions, but this merely leads wo-
men to do covertly what men do openly
