THE ORIGIN OF THE TITLE As APPLIED TO CLERGY
MEN.
An interesting contribution to the history of
the title OF Reverend" as applied to clergymen
is made by the Rev. Brooke Lambert in let
ter to the London Times. Mr. Lambert says -
The registers of the parish of Tamgorth con-
tain some interesting particulars as to local
usage. These registers date back from the
reign of Philip and Mary, 1856 The first title is
Sir" with which Shakespeare has made us la
miliar. In May, 1867, sc have an entry ''Sir Pc
ter Stringar, curate." The clergymen who sue
ceeded him is called 'Sir Richard Walker" but
there are other contemporaneous entries, such
as 'sacerdes, "cericus." preacher and ''ver-
bi minister" These latter seem to have OBJ
tanned till, in King James reign, we have the
prefix master" which, as we know, was ap-
piled to the great divine, Master Hooker, and
this practice seems by our registers to have been
continued through the Commonwealth, though
"lIinisters of the Gospel is sometimes added.
We have however, in 1857 the first use Of the
word ''reverend, evidently in this case as a
special mark of respect not as for
NAL title. On al June, 1867, was buried our
Reverend Pastor Master Thomas Blake Minis
ter of Tamworth." In 1903 We have clergyman
by name Samuel Collins. 1 had noticed with
curiosity an erasure before his name in each of
the casualties, baptismal or funeral, recorded in
our register.
AT lhhl, III lfUl, WIS luctN enough 10 ulu an
unerased entry, and 1t appears that the obnox-
ous word was the title "Ievd.n $50 written)
prefxed to his Mr.. However, he seems not to
have been able to hold this title. One of his
children, baptized in 1906, is baptized as the
child of plan Samuel Collins, minister and
when he died, i'll l706, he was buried without
the title "reyerepdn-as Mr. (i. e. Master) Sam
ue Collins, minister of Tamworth. Hencefor-
ward the eame address is used till November,
1927, when we have the baptism of Anne, daugh-
ter OF ''yo Rev. MIR. Robert Wilson, minister of
Tamworth, and after that date the prefix ''rev-
erend' never seems to have been omitted.
am thankful, for the honor Of my parish. to
say that it was not withheld even in case which
reminds one OF the matter discussed ut the
Camborne Conference. 1t fell to the lot of one
| of my predecessors to bury Nonconfornlst.
| The entry Of the burial is as follows, 173G-3S
40 March, buried ye Rev. Thomas Worthing
ton, non-juror of Tamworth." In this he only
followed tile example of an earlier vicar, who
'rhomas Flayell, Presbyterian teacher of Tam,
WORTH" died, allowed him the prefix of Mr.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

Two officers to assess and collect the city taxes
and eleven members of the City Council were
elected yesterday, the details Of which we fully
report elsewhere. Comment is perhaps super
fuous, since the result will be already thoro lghly
discussed throughout the city before this reaches
our readers.
Whatever we may forbear to say, however
some remarks are clearly in order. The first is
that the result of yesterday is in no sense par
tisan one, and must not be so claimed. The
determination to give attention to municipal
affairs distinct and separate from party politics,
was the ground upon which hundreds of Repub-
ican voters acted. They proceeded indepen-
IDENTIFY, honestly, and according to the dictates
of their own judgment as citizens. 1t would not
only be folly but most short-sightei policy fol-
any party to undertake to discipline or complain
of them. No party can afford to lose large
body of its intelligent, Independent and influen.
tial members
While the result has no party significance, il
is vigorous and impressive warning to all par
ties that they must not disregard the public in
terests, or attempt to defy and override public
sentiment. The history of the Tammany Ring
is sufficient example that such course can
only end in ruin. and all sensible men should sure.
ly be able to read and comprehend Its record
The government of the city of Wilmington must
be for the general good, and not simply for per.
sonal aggrandizement, and whoever attempts
systematically and insoently to make it the i'll
strument of private advantage will surely CONT
to grief

rhe seyenth yyard Con,e.,,

The reelection of William NJ Candy in the
Seventh Ward is one of the most hopeful signs
in our municipal affairs. No one denied his fit
hess for election, yet most determined effort
was made to defeat him. He had the support Of
large body of independent citizens who knew
his worth as man, and his efficiency as a mem
Der of Council.
With the closeness of the vote, and the ex-
tensive ''cutting of tickets, Mr.. Canby's col
league on the Citizens Reform ticket suffered a
nominal defeat. Colonel Grimshaw's energy
and determination are well known, and he an
nounces his purpose to contest the announced
result If he is able to prove that fraudulent
votes were cast against him, in excess of the
majority by which he is returned defeated. the
seat must be given him, OF course.

THE PERILs OF BALLOoNING

AS ballooning promises to become an institu-
ton, it is only proper the pursuit should be sur
rounded with reasonable precautions. If men
can be found ready to take the risks involved in
such ascensions, that part of the case is closed,
but when these parties endanger the security and
property of persons in no wise concerned in air
navigation, the matter takes on different COM
plexion. There are such dangers, and the growth
Of ballooning renders them constantly more i'm
minent.
The risks to outsiders centre about the descent
of the balloon. The danger from articles thrown
out of the basket is perhaps real, but it is with
the means employed to make landing that OBJ
lection is principally made. and it seems to be
with good reason. The 'tral rope which is in
constant use is all injurious agency of destruc-
ton. Hundreds of feet in length, very heavy,
and moving often with frightful rspidity it it
easy to see how it may be the cause of much ant
great disaster. Sweeping over roads, buildings
gardens; it is liable to catch up or crush var
ious matters in its way 1t may become tangled
about men OF animals. in which case the conse
quences can be imagined. Such nuisance at
tached to railway trains, or even to road wagons
would not be tolerated Why should it be al
lowed in the case of vehicle which is far les
under control than any other ? Distances can
not be calculated to a nicely from positio
above the ground, and the continual shifting O
the balloon in its eccentric orbit renders it in
possible to 30 manage the trail that it shall b
always or generally safe.
An even greater nuisance is tile 'Anchor
which is used to arrest the speed of the balloo
and effect landing This implement, with ii
sharp points reaching in different directions, all
when swept radidly along the surface of til
earth at the end OF rope, is as dangerous
thing as can well be conceived The aeronar
has very little control over it, and men, animal
and many sorts of property are quite helpless,
exposed to its perilous swoop. Not seldom haS
fences been demolished garden stocks all
crops injured, and houses been partially unroo
ed by these couSeniences of parties who choo.
to amuse themselves by sailing through the al
Reconstruction is needed. People in variol
sections are rightly indignant, and if the Offer
ses continue we may expect to hear of collision
between balloonsts and those whose lives Al
property have been put in jeopardy

Mr. Beechcr's Plea for Eating with

ayow myself as an advocate for the rights Of
the knife. Now, custom has reduced it to tile
mere function of cutting up ones food. That
done,i it s laid down and a fork serves every 9TH
er purpose. by practice one gains unexpected
dexterity in using fork for purposes to
which it Is i'll adapted. The Chinese, in like
manner, make awkward chop sticks rarely SER
viceable, by practice little short OF legerdeman;
but is that a good reason for the
use OF chop sticks! 4 fork. as
now made, Is untitled to pierce any morsel
upon its tines, and yet they are sharp enough to
aillict the tongue ii carelessly used. They are
spit so as to be useless for liquids and YET they
are used as it the were spoons. The fork COM
pels the manipulation to poke and push and pile
up the food material, which teJds to fall back
and apart. 1t is made to pursue the dainty tld-
bit, in which often the very core Of flavor re-
sides, around tile plate in hopeless chase. and

some reason for avoidance. Bat table
knives are blunt edged. 1t is even difficult

are properly used the back Of the blade will be
turned to the mouth. We do not object to the
fork, but demand restoration OF the knife
from banishment. We do not desire to enforce
its use, but such liberation az shall leave eacl
