An exchange says that bad boy
recently pasted lightning bug on a
lens of the great telescope in Wash
ington city. That night the operator
discovered a bright star in Orion,
but horrors! it had legs. In a few
hours the new planet seemed to have
moved several billions of miles.
The operator, it is said, spent some
two thousand dollars in telegraph
ing his discovery around the world !;
but next day, having occasion to get
outside of the observatory, he saw
the lightniDg-bug that he had mis-
taken for the new planet. During the
next week many thousand telescopes
were directed with unusual interest
towards Orion, but as the astron-
omers could see nothing remarkable
there, they began to accuse the Wash
ingtor observer of bad faith. He is
out, it is said, with a long switch,
looking for the bad boy who pasted
the lightning-bug on the lens of his
telescope.

lein Spitzeder won the adhesion Of the
clericals by her ardent championship
of the Pope. She never appeared in
public without a heavy gold cross on her
bosom, and she aided by liberal subventions
the ultramontane organ of Munich, the Votks-
bote She gained the name among the Ia TIL
full of a piOus churchwoman, and this was OF
great advantage among the rural population.
Her business attained unheard-of dimensions.
She sometimes received az much as S2O,0OO OF
deposits in q day. But of course business
conducted upon such principles as these
cannot last long. The establishment fell
under suspicion last Autumn, and the
first breath of suspicion is fatal to so frail an
organization. Friiulein Spitzeder struggled man
fully for while against the repeated runs
which were made upon the Bank. but was
forced to succumb at last, when 1T was found
that she had no assets and owed over three
millions of dollars About fortnight ago her
trial was concluded and resulted, as we have
said, in q sentence of three years imprison-
ment.
No punishment can well be too severe for
one who thus pOsons the very sources OF
confidence, and scatters through thousands OF
families not only pinching material want, but
disgust for the show of liberality which at
tracted them and the semblance of religion
which gained their confidence. "Do Right
" and Fear Nobody was the motto which the
Spitzeder engraved upon her note paper and
painted in letters of gold over her door. 1t
is an excellent motto, but it will not be
quoted for years to come in Bavaria with
out exciting the disgust of the supplemented
and the sneers of the skeptical. But how
much better is the organized system OF
swindling among our spectators, who cheat
their friends with gay good humor and with
no pretense of religion or conscience about
it Is the hypocrite, after all. so much worse
than the reprobatei Is society in a worse
condition where one must feign in order to
succeed in rascally way of life, than it is in
a country where an essentially dishonest trade
is allowed to give its own tone of morals to
widely extended business circles' In short,

Mr.. Dooley was put into the sacred edifce
precisely as Oliver Twist was put into the

it will be remembered, was to go down and

Rev. Mr.. Dooley did. In marched the Bishop
and having reinstated the rector in his pulpit,
his Right Reverence retreated in good order

Up came the vestrymen, thrsting for battle.
They reoceupied the church they thrust out
the Rev. Mr.. Dooley; and then, to prevent
further trouble, they nailed up the doors and
the windows. There was now but one thing
for the Rev. Mr.. Dooey to do, and he did it.
He accommodated the vestrymen, and sent
them each notice of what he had done

CAMP LIFE ON THE PLAINS.

We print to-day another installment of our
correspondence from the Yellowstone Expe-
dition. 1t was mailed upon the arrival of the
force at the Yellowstone River. 1t describes
journey through wild region, of which q
portion is desolate beyond all comparison /;
but the cheeriness of camp life and the fresh
winds Of those highland plains breathe
through the sentences. To the difficulties
which usually attend a march in dis
tant and unsettled regions, red tape at
Washington has added special embarrassments.
The country traversed had the reputation of
not being subject to rains, and therefore pom
ICONS were not provided. A swollen river
spreads to width too great for the longest
timbers brought by the engineering corps, and
carries their bridge away. There is no grow
ing timber of useful length. Here was a
dilemma where the man of precedents would
have come to stand; and here was just the
exigency where the American soldier rose
superior to circumstances and oyercame them.
OF the skilIful ingenuity that was brought to
bear, We leave our correspondent to tell the
story; suffice it that since the Revolutionary
Battle of the Kegs" there has been no more
interesting episode in the use OF those
receptacles when empty.
For miles and miles the pathway of the Ex-
petition led literally through roses. Of all
tints from pink to crimson, roses redeemed
the ground and perfumed the air. Out of this
land of flowers they stepped into q realm of
desOlatiOn known as the "Bad Lands" Here
if anywhere was danger to DO apprehended
from Indians; for in the narrow
and tortuous ravnes through which
the forces picked their way, ambuscade
would have been easy, since cavalry could not
deploy nor infantry concentrate. There was a
chance for another lava-bed experience, with
a handful of redskins setting an army at de-
fiance. But no trace of hostile savages has
yet been seen by the Expedition. Some
scientific observations have been made of
noteworthy Importance, especially az to the
geological history of the Bad Lands; and with
these tidings, and the announcement that the
survey of 1871 can be utilized so that this one
may be mate rally shortened, ends the history
of the first stage of the Expedition.

CHURCH. BREAKING IND ENTE!

CHURCH. BREAKING AND ENTERING.
Democratic influences, as the least careful
observer knows, are not too favorable to rigid
ecclesiastical discipline. III spite of the simple
duties suggested by the etymOlOgy of his
name a Bishop in these as in most past
times, and in every Episcopal connection, in
theory and often in practice is good deal
more than an Oyerseer. He occupies the
highest pastoral relation; he is supposed to
keep the keepers, and, within his province,
the sheep are also supposed to obey his COM
mands. In many countries this is not only the
law, but it is law to which the congregations
do not refuse a ready and even a cheerful
obedience. In the United States it is differ
ent. Reverence for the great Office is not
sufficient to save the Bishops from frequent
collisions, not only with the laity but with the
priesthood, and so difficult have Episcopal
duties become that many comfortably situated
priests could hardly be persuaded to accept
the dignity. Bishops may carry the crook but
not the sword. They may not deliver even
the most contumacious over to the secular
arm. If they are defied by their own spiritual
children, they must submit as meekly' as pos
sible to the defiance.
There is trouble, the latest which we hear
of, in the Trinity Episcopal Church in ST..
Clair, Michigan, of which the Rev. Mr.. Dooley
is was, or wishes to be rector, for it is not
easy precisely to state his present predicament.
For some reason the vestrymen of Trinity are
not tenderly attached TO the Rev. Mr. Dooley.
1t may be his preaching or his method of
praying or his personal character or appear
ance which is distasteful to the vestrymen,
but, under the influence of some strong emo
ton, they locked the doors of the church, so
that the Rev. Mr.. Dooley could not get in.
Some men would have gone quietly away
under such circumstances. Some men would
have prayed and preached upon the sidewalk
The Rev. Mr.. Dooley fed for succor to Bishop
MeCrosky, in Detroit. That right reverend
gentleman, by no means admiring the eccen-
tricities of this early closing movement, went
to st. Clair, demanded the keys of the church,
and did not get what he demanded. His first
impulse, doubtless, was TO construct battering
ram and bring it to bear upon the gates
of the sheepfold but upon reflection he took
a auieIer course. According " the report be-

One of the saddest cases of poetry of which we
have ever heard is that of young lady in Missouri
A short time ago she found it impossible either to
eat OF sleep, and for ten days remained in that
unpleasant state Strange to say, the moment she
was attacked she began to speak in rhyme. Every
sentence uttered by those afflicted lips was rich with
sweetest melody and measure. Ordinary affairs she
turned into extraordinary verse-for instance:
Dearest Ma. list to your daughter, Give her, o
give, drink of waughter;' and 80 on. These
charming rhymes were made with no sort of effort
at ALL but just tumbled out it were with start
ling rapidity and precision. Some of them, we are
told were extremely beautiful. Alarmed by so
dreadful an illness, all the nearest physicians were
summoned by her heartbroken parents; each pre-
scribed a different opate, and by this means poetry
was conquered; she slept-her life was saved Less
serious cases of this fearful disease have been
known-none before so persistent and absorbing as
this.
