Rev. ID. L. X. Rine Under Arrest on
Charge OF Larceny.
The Rev. D. /. K. Rine who few
years ago blszored the fact OF his re-
lease from Jail in Chicago, by a public
lecture under the sulphuric title OF "Out
Of Hell" seems to have got in again.
He was last night taken in custody by
Detective Scott on the charge Of steal
ing $50 from the money drawer of Fau-
cett, Cooper & Co. Mr.. Rine's tribula-
tons at Chicago were widely published
at the time. 1. was alleged that he had
taken from q sleeping car on the
Northwestern Railroad pocket-book
containing $1,000 and squsndered the
money in various gambling saloons OF
the city. The case never came
to trial owing to the inter-
vention OF friends from this city, and
not long after his release he was restor-
ed 10 communion with the church OF
which he had formerly been q minis
ter. His lecture purported to be a re-
sumo Of the trials aud tribulations 10
which poor preachers were subjected,
with few of his personal experiences
worked in ogive spice Of sensational
ism. The lecture was not d success,
and the reverend gentlemen subsidized
from the public gaze, to his apparent
great annoyance. The whirligig OF
time, however, has once more brought
him forward. 1t is alleged that, being
lett alone in the counting houee OF the
firm for half an hour, be distracted the
money and cleared out. He denies
his guilt in most positive terms. When
arrested he had $40 on his person. Mr..
Rine has, at least. the satisfaction, un-
der his present trial. OF knowing he has
material for another lecture. Pits.

A DisnbItuE Disease.

No disease which does not conflne man

thought TO bear, without being tormented
by the miseries born of Indigestion, It is
highly desirable for the brain 5 sake, as well
as for the sake Of every other portion or the

The examination of the route Of the
James River and Kanawhs Canal now
being made by the Senate select COM
mittes on Transportation gives some
color to the hope that the national
government may yet be induced to
complete that great work Of INTERNAL
improvement. The enterprise has at
least one influential friend on the com-
mittee in the person Of Hon. HENRY q.
DAVIS, and we doubt not that with the
practical good sense and sound Judg-
mept for which he is noted as a busl,
ness man, he will be able to EXHIBIT
fairly the practicability and the adj
ysntages Of the work. Cheap transe
uortation between the west and the sea-
board is the CHIEF desideratum of the
day, and it is becoming more and more
important as the population and pro-
ducts of the West increase and the
railroad monopolies become more and
more exacting in their demands. The
establishment OF water communication
between the Atlantic coast and the
Mississippi valley seems to afford the
only practical solution OF the problem
Soon or late it must be accomplished.
The State Of Virginia having generous,
ly offered to donate 10 the genera
government the work already done on
the James River and Ksnavha
Canal, it must be apparent that the
canal can be completed upon the pro-
posed route at much less cost to the
National Treasury than would be
necessary for the construction OF a
canal upon any other route. 1t is to be
hoped that the Senate committee will
report in favor Of the project.

by which he was suspended, confirmed
the suspension. Since then Mr.. WHITE
asked OF the Presbytery OF Washington

fused. Mr.. WHITE complained and ap-
pealed to the Synod because of his re-
