This word has been brought to my at
tention by more than one correspondent.
1t has attained a certain degree of usage
among those who it would seem are dis
satisfied with scientific man and
IMAM of SCIENCE" and who doubtless,
with like displeasure of literary man "
and Imam of letters" viii. soon con-
trive some dreadful combination in list to
use in their stead. Scientist appears to
me, as it does to many others, intoler-
able both as being unlovely in itself and
improper in its formation. Sample
Room" language gives us drinkist,
shootist, walkist, and the like, with en-
undisguised iRcongruity which has a
ridiculous egect, partly at least inten-
tional, If not wholly so. Those words
are regarded as the creations of exquis-
lite humor by the persons who use them;
nay, their very use is looked upon as an
indication of latent powers which would
place the user, if he would but let him
self out, foremost in the ranks of the
noble army of American humorists. "
If after that remark my bones should be
found bleaching upon the ensanguined
plain, let the Chief of Police Immediately
arrest Mr.. Lowell, Mr. Bret Harte, and
Colonel John Hay, without detailing Off.
Ger A or office B to work up the case. "

that to-day the'most popular Christmas
story writer in England is Jew. True,

there is no reason for self.congratula.
ton, for if there has been dedication OF
Jew, there has also been the bitterest
persecution Of the creed to whose OBJ.
servances he was so strict conformiss.
That Mr.. Farjeon has contrived by mere
force of talents ty acquire his present
proud position, and that his stories sink
deeply into the popular heart from their
winning grace, kindly sentiment, and
freedom from cant-this indicates how
prejudice is dissipated by knowledge.
The prejudice, perhaps, has been on
both sides 1t does not render a jew
less Jewish if he employs the aid OF
Christmas stories to hasten the era OF
peace and good will on earth.

Tweed's Case.
New YORK,

New YORK, Nov. g.
In the Tweed trial Owen G. Owens, ex-
amined last evening as before on challenge
TO principal cause, was re-examined this
morning on challenge to favor. The de-
tense then raised an objection to the court
acting as trier on challenge to favor, after
deciding ON the first challenge that the Juror
was unbiased The court overruled the
objection, pointing out that the decision
was on matters of fact in one case, and on
rules of law in the other. Owens was cx-
cused. Edward NJ. Ducr was then called
to the stand, and the defense asked that
trers be appointed and that the witness
be sworn to give evidence to them, both of
which were refused, and exceptions were
taken. 1t was arranged that these re-
quests be understood as made and refused.
and exceptions were taken in the case of
each juror examined. Mr.. Duer was dis
qualified Other men were examined and
excused on account of previously formed
opinions.

Roswell a. Parmcntcr, of Troy, who
has been elected to the Senate from the
sixteenth New York district, is gentle
man formerly well known in Vermont,
having received his education at the Troy
Conference, Poultney. He is man Of
considerable ability, and an opportunity is
now offered him of being true rcpresen-
tative of the people, and advancing the
rights and interests Of the masses.
The GLOBE is indebted to Hon Horatio
Seymour of Utica, n. Y, for valuable
documents.
Samuel Slower. at one time a prominent
minister of the Troy Conference, died at
his residence, in West Troy, on Tuesday
last. He subsequently abandoned the min
istry and entered upon the practice of the
law at Troy. He defended Henrietta Rob
inson, the yelled murdcress, with distin-
guished ability. He will be remembered
by many in this section, while in the
ministry, he had several appointments in
Vermont. His life had its lights and shad-
ows, and all should be charitable over his
grave.
Seven thousand and eight hundred bar
rels of potatoes were shipped from Troyon

of the society was that of supporting or
partially supporting young men who were
studying for the ministry otherwise, the
men could not give their time to it, but
must seek business which paid them. His
especial appeal was toward helping those
who, having been at work in other chris
tian bodies, now transferred their allegiance
to the Church. They were becoming more
numerous, and their sacrifices were very
great. They had spent all and been spent
already in the service of the Master, and
now, seeking the better way, tley must be
sustained during the probation necessary
before entering upon the new ministry.
When the entirely impromptu character
of these addresses is taken into account,
none OF the men having been notified until
an hour or two before assembling, and
then in the midst of pressing occupations,
these speeches were worthy of note as
marking high average of abiityand train
ing, and thorough appreciation and study
of the work in hand.
