Iowa has a case of heresy. Rev.
w. E. Ijams, of Iowa City, is accused
by a Presbyterian organ, the Occi-
dent, of being unsound on original
sin, infant damnation, and other
essential doctrines, and Brother
Ijams is diligently engaged in set
ting himself right through the
papers.
A German saloon-keeper in Mil
lersburg says: Ven l goes to mine
bet 1 sleeps not goot. I dreams in
mine head dat 1 hears dem vimens
brayin' and singing in my ears dot
Jesus loves me. Dot bothers me, so
/ get right straight up and walk on
the floor and take anudder glass of

A Baptist clergyman relates as
his early experience that he engaged
to preach for a society for $50 a year.
Upon a settlement at the end of the
year he found that the committee
had an item of 500 charged to him
for the use of the pulpit to practice
in. One of the deacOns, however,
by way of sympathy for the paster,
presented him a pair of boot-tOps.
4 The strangest description of hell
is that of Heinrich Heine. "Hell,"
he says, appeared to me like q
great town kitchen with an endless
long stove, on which were placed
three rows of iron pots, and in these
sat the damned and were cooked.
In the third row sat the heather
who, like the Jews, could take no
part in salvation, and must burn
forever. l heard one of the latter,
as a square-built, burly devil put
fresh Goals under his kettle, cry out
from his pot: "Spare me! 1 was
once Socrates, the wisest of mortals.
/ taught truth and justice, and sac
rificed my life for virtue.' But the
clumsy, stupid devil went on with
his work and grumbled, ooh, shut
up there! All heather must burn,
and we can't make an exception for
the sake of a single man."

first explorations and surveys OF the
trans-continental route conducted
by military officers? Were not
these explorations fully as accurate,
in a scientific point of view, as those
made by the volunteer corps OF po-
litical explorers?
Were not the most valuable bo-
tanical neurological and Zoologi-
cal contributions i'm the Smithsonian
cabinet collected by army officers?
Are West Point graduates less COM
petent to handle the chain compass
and barometer than are the gradu-
ates of third rate Colleges?
Are the army officers of the pres
ent day to degenerate into mere
horse jockeys and drill-masters?
Twenty years ago it was not con-
sidered improper for the navy or
wal departments to organize ex-
ploring expeditions to the Rocky
Mountains, up the Amazon River
and over the snow-capped Andes of
South America. To-day an explor-
ing expedition of American officers
is i'm the. heart of Palestine en-
deavoring to discover the missing
links between ancient and modern
history. And still the Republican
praises General Logan for his stupid
opposition to ameasure which would
render life i'm our regular army
tolerable for an ambitious and ener-
getic man even in times of peace.
As it is now there is no opportu-
nifty for honorable distinction in the
army, excepting in inglorious Skin
mishes with treacherous Indian
scalpers on the frontier and bloody
rioters in the South.
Inasmuch these officers were ed
ucated at the expense of the people,
and are now maintained by public
taxation, why shall the people pay
outsiders for services which these
officers are capable, and We have
good reasons to believe, anxious
to perform?

THE Arkansas rebellion has cul-
minated In anothsr bloody engage
ment between the Bakeries and
Brookesites. Both factions are max
ing extensive preparations for a
war of determination, and unless
the National Government shall in
terpose its strong arm between the
b~eiigersnts, Little Rock will, within
the next forty-eight hours,
become the scene of the most horrid
butcheries and pillage. Our tele-
graphic advices from Washington
indicate that the President has
under advice from the Attorney
General, decided to recognize
Brooks As the legally elected Gov
ernor, and will, If necessary, aid
him in restoring peace. 1t is hardly
probable, however, that Baxter
would attempt forcible resistance in
such an event. Although he has
announced his determination
not to yield until the
Legislature shall determine the
validity of his claims, the prospect
for assembling a quorum o. that
body Is even now very dubious.
In fact members of the Arkansas
Legislature are not disposed to risk
their necks in a military camp as
long Is they can safely remain at
home.
Whatever may be the upshot of
this disgraceful Arkansas muddle
1t Is to be hoped that the National
Government will assert its authori-
ty to protect and defend the citizens
Of that State against anarchy and
usurpation.

WHY MOTT

Gen. Logan did q good thing
when he opposed the bill to ''aid
geological and other surveys i'm the
several States" The object of
which was to turn over the work
which has been done by scientific
men who have devoted their lives
to this object, to the army. Let
these two branches of the service
be kept distinct only as far as each
may give aid to the other i'm the
progress of the work. Men whose
lives are devoted to the defense of
the country, are, except i'm rare in
stances, as in the case of Gen. AL
word, too busy to give much time to
scientific research. The country
will be with the common sense view
Of Gen. Logan in his decision.-
Republican.
The Republican exhibits insxcu-
sable ignorance about the object of
this bill, unless, indeed, its COM
mendations Of General Logan's
course are intended to cover the
tracks Of certain scientific grabbers
upon the public treasury.
The bill in question simply
provides that the geological and
other surveys in the Territories shall
hereafter be conducted partly
or wholly by army officers. Now
why shall the Government expend
vast sums annually for establishing
the reputation Of obscure political
biologists who devote half of their
time to lobbying? Why shall the
people Of the United States be taxed
for their especial benefit as long as
they have q competent corps of
army officers under pay whose
present chief occupation is billiards,
draw poker OF seven-up?
Why shall these wards of the ma
ton lounge in idleness around the
pompOus and useless military quar-
ten in Washington, New York and
Chicago, when their time could be
more profitably employed in explor-
Ing the mountains and canyons of
Idaho, Colorado, New
Mexico or Arizona. Were no, the

THE value of church property not
taxed In this country Is estimated
at over seven hundred millions. A
large portion of this property is
yielding q profitable income to the

there any good resson why the peo-

A Plea for Old Christ Church.

In the Common of Boston stands an OLD
Oak, endeared by its peculiar associations with
Washington and the revolution. The people
of that ancient ciry,as year after year, time and
tempest have encroached upon the once attrac
tive proportions of this venerable tree, have
epdeavored to preserve it by careful pruning
and baudagiug its limbs, and in other ways.
To them aud to all who know 1t this tree Is all
object of sacred regard. ,..
Aud so 10 the heart Of the same city stands
what is known as the old South Church,
built before the Revolution. There 1t Is DOW,
unless destroyed by the recent great hra. Uo-
doubtedly it is 10 the way OF the grabd march
of Improvement But there Is barrier, even
10 Boston, to the tide Of progress. The people
will not surrender that ancient Church, with
its old pulpit and furniture. 1t Is sacred TO
them. as it has been to their fathers, and will
be to their children. No one who visits Boston
would think Of leaving. il be could AVOID 1t,

FATAL ACCIDENT Tho Washington Chron

FATAL AccIDENT.-Tho Washington Chron.
icle of this moruiog has the following:
One Of the most shocking accidents which it
has been our province TO relate for the past few
years occurred last night on the Metropolitan
branch railroad half mile beyond the District
limits. 1t appears that when local passenger
train returning from Rockville last night was
slowly passing at 10 o'clock what is known rs
the first water tank, located in the northern part
of the Gales Wood farm, the lookout man dis
covered ahead what he thought to be human
; body on the track, and had the train stopped at
once. 1t WAS then too plainly seen that nu-
man being had been within few hours previous
suddenly hurried into eternity. On one side of
the track lay mans head, rs clearly cut from
the body as surgeons knife could do it. while
on the opposite side, on the surface of the snow,
was the remaining portion of the form, perfectly
nude. with the exception of the lower portion OF
the right leg, on which was the remnant Of y
pair of soldier pants The remains were gather
ed up, aud after being carefully placed on the
platform in front of the engine, We're brought to
the Baltimore and Ohio depot, where they still
remain awaiting the action to day of the Coron-
er. There seemed to be no clue whatever to the
name or residence of the deceased beyond the
fact that the remnant of the army pants found
on him might lead to the belief that he was prob
ably an inmate Of the Soldiers Home, or Mex.
lean veteran on his way to attend the convention
in this city to-day. The employees of the train
bringing the body to this city think that deceas-
ed might have been walking on the track, and
been run over by the Western train, which lett
here at o clock last night
