The Imp OF the Leaf.

What an innocent thing am I. ha, ha,
Who suspects my power and skill,
While I'm fitting about from leaf to leaf,
And silently working my will, ha, la.
And silently working my will.
These broad. strong leaves, laugh to
think
OF the fat land they exhaust,
And tip my brothers u cunning wink,
For we know full we'll the cost, ha, ha,
We know full we'll the cost.
I love the growth of the noble plant,
1t cheers my very soul,
And chuckle to think of the mighty
host,
Who are waiting to pay the toll, ha. ha,
Who are waiting to pay the toll.
On, the precious weed! how it tempts
them all!
All alike, the young and the old,
While l sit and grin, in my fire-proof
skin,
To think how they all are sold, La, ha,
To think how they all are sold.
There's the lovely "plug." the sweet
''6ne cut, ="
And the .pig-tail," good and.strong,
The smell of the stuff is rank enough,
10 come from where L belong, La, la,
TO come from where belong.
Then the choice cigar! with wild
huzza,
dance in the curling smoke,
It doesn't hurt me. not bit, do You see?
SO have the best of the Joke. ha, ha,
So have the best OF the joke.
Oh, the delicate snuff one pinch is
enough
To make my nose ecstatic,
And IL you prefer to "dip," oh well,
The taste is little erratic, that's all,
The taste is little erratic.
It's all one 10 me. T don't care flea,
How you use the delectabe treasure,
For have the fun when the work is
done,
And you have-repentance at leisure,
ha, ha,
You have repentance at leisure.
Then grow, noble plaut; spread wide
your broad leaves,
And eat up the bountiful land,
For there will always be plenty Of
''softs, you know,
10 create steady demand, hn, la,
TO create steady demand.
And will prepare tho essence so rare,
That bewitches the young and the old.
For there isn't u doubt, they'll never
find out,
How sweetly they oil havo been sold,
ha, ha,
How aweetly they all have been sold.

Philadelphia, 4. Attorney Evans, lately
employed on the police and fire alarm tele-
graph in this city, met his wife last night
from whom he had been separated, and after
few words stabbed her in the side, inflicting
it is thought fatal injuries. He then inflicted
a slight wound on himself. lie was arrested.
No conference has been held between the
Pennsylvania railroad officials and the en-
gneers' committee. 1t is probable there will
be no strike.
Another criminal inmate of the Eastern
Penitentiary attempted to escape this morn
ing. He picked the lock of his cell and was
in the act of picking the lock of an adjoining
cell to free companion, when a Waterman
came upon him. and returned him to his old
place Of confinement. The blood hounds
first gave the alarm.
At Huntington, Pa, last night, the editor
of the Journal was attacked in the office by
a party of roughs. As it is alleged at the IN
stigation of the Globe, the attacking party
weresdsarmed and kicked out of the office.
The trouble grew out of publication in the
journal, attacking certain parties.

Washington, 8. The POSTMASTER General
to-day issued an order providing that section
%, chapter 3, Of the regulations of the post
office department after April 9TH, 1878, shall
be so construed so as to require postmasters
to forward all letters or packages received
from foreign country, to places Of their des-
tnation before permitting any interference by
officers of customs. This order confirms
and enforces the view heretofore taken of this
question by the post office department, but
opposed by the practice Of certain officers of
of the Treasury.
The Navy Department received telegram
from Key West to-day, announcing the ar
rival at that port of the steamer Wabash

themselves but will supply the wants of the
island. and other points in the Bohering sea,
and also greatly accommodate the coast sur
vey.

friend of President CASTELAR,, ther9upon occll.

gents, to form q new government. This Gen.
Paria declared was the only means for the
salvation of the country. He refused per-
sonally to become a member of the govern
ment.
The streets are filled with people and there
is great excitement, but no bloodshed.
LATER.
The majority in the Cortes against Caste.
lar was 1870.
CASTELAR, concluded his message in congrat.
ulating the Cortes that the condition of af-
fairs is greatly improved. The army is re-
covering from the effects of characterization
and the riotous outbreaks are ceasing. The
municipal authorities no longer seek to exer-
else dictatorship. The popular uprisings,
barricades and pronuncamentos have been
annihilated by universal suffrage. He ap-
peals to the Cortes to do their duty and re-
ceive the verdict of history as the conserva-
tive founders of the Spanish republic.
Naples, 8. An eruption of Vesuvius is be.
lieyed to be imminent.
Madrid, 4-MidRight. The final and deci-
sive vote by which CASTELAR, was beaten in the
Cortes stood l20 to 100. The majority
against him was 20, instead of 100, as first
reported.
As soon as the result wrs announced, Gen
Pavia sent an officer to the chamber with a
letter demanding the dissolution of the
Cortes.
Senior Salmeron and others urged CASTELAR,
to continue in power, but their prayer was
refused. Whereupon company of the mu-
nicipal guard entered the palace of the
Cortes land expelled the deputies. Gen. Pa
via with his staff held position outside witt
cannon pointed at the building. 1t is expect
ed that the new ministry will be composed Of

The Troubles In PlvmOuth Church.

The Plymouth Church school-rooms in
Brooklyn were crowded to excess Friday
evening by large audience. The usual
weekly prayer-meeting was conducted by the
Rev Henry Ward Beecher, after which was
held the stated business meeting for the ad-
mission of members. The adjourned annual
meeting was then called to order by T. NJ.
Edgerton. The Committee on Amended
Rules made their report, which was adopted.
Mr.. Sherman, the clerk of the church,
then read the communication which had been
received from the joint committees of the
Church of the Pilgrims (Rev. DR.. Storrs) and
the Clinton Avenue Church, after which MIR.
Beecher rose and said he deemed it not in
appropriate to take some steps for the pur-
pose of making reply to this letter. He
had asked some of the brethren to draw up
letter of reply, which he would request Prof.
Robert Raymond to read, and asked that il
be signed by the chairman of this meeting
AMI the members of the committee, and for
warded to the committees Of the two churches.
Professor Raymond then read reply to
the communications of the committees of the
Church of the Pilgrims and the Clinton Ave-
nue. Church. 1t admits a difference between
the Congregationalism of the Plymouth
Church and other Congregational Churches.
and claims that the foundation of the Ply
mouth Church was effected to protest against
the denomination Of Congregational ministers
which had excited profound indignation
among the members of the Congregational
Churches in the city of New York at the
time.
Plymouth Church has been governed by
majority of it's TeTbcrs, while 10 neither of
the other two churches has ever been heard
the voice of tie brotherhood in open or called
assembly. The attitude of the Clinton Ave-
nue. Church and the Church of the Pilgrim in
this controversy is characterized as unwar-
rantable, and Plymouth Church refuses
to receive any further documents which
are not accompanied by proof of the author
ity of the whole brotherhood of Congrega-
tional churches, regularly and deliberately
conferred, and the decline in any case to re-
ceive from any church letters containing
covert insinuations against the character Of
any of the members of Plymouth Church.
Plymouth Church does not decline to Join in
call for mutual council, but will await a
less dubious invitation. 1t claims that Ply.
mouth Church can make rules for its own
government and still remain Congregational.
| and declines to withdraw from Congre gational
Fellowship This reply was adopted and
ordered TO be signed by the Chairman aad
members Of the committee and forwarded to
the joint committees Of both churches. The
committee to whom was referred Mr.. Bowen s
protest reported adversely. The report was
ordered to be placed on file. The meeting
then adjourned.
