INTERNATIONAL CRICKET. If the professional
cricketers who have just been beaten at cricket
in England by the professional ball players
were playing to win their defeat is surprise all
the more agreeable for the fact that the Amer.
leans could not have been expected to ba
thorough experts at the English game, and
must, therefore, presumably have been better
men to prove superior with less knowledge
and trained skill. But if the Englishmen
were not playing to win other fancies OBJ
viousy present themselves; and it is just pos
sble they were at the old game of playing
soft match to inveigle the strangers and theil
friends into match for a good round sum Of
money.

The TROUBLE in the Bureau of DISTINCTIONS
grows out of the hatred cherished by Comp
troller Green against the head of the, Depart
ment of Public Works. The bureau is under
the latter department; SO the Comptroller
seeks a pretence for stopping its supplies.
Meanwhile the streets are obstructed and the
public suffer. When will the end of this
miserable administration be reached?

originated from carelessness and foul CHM

DIsRAELI ON THE EUROPEAN SITUATION
Premier Disraeh announced to the British
House of Commons yesterday his personal
conviction that, however tranquil the general
state of Europe may be, there are ''agencies at
work preparing period of great disturbance"
The famous English statesman has on more
than one occasion of late excited and alarmed
tho Old World peoples and governments by
the utterances of sentences of similar import;
bat, 80 far as we have seen, he has not conde-
scended to indicate the point of danger or the
causes which are more Immediately exciting
towards il. If he possesses such knowledge,
based upon facts, it is, we should say, his
plain duty to advise the Queen and Parlia-
ment of 1t. Or is the great novelist merely
prejudiced? Or has the sunset of life given
unto him the power of mystical lore?

The kidnapping Mystery.

Despair of the recovery of the lost boy.
Charley Ross, seems settling upon the minds
of the good people Of Philadelphia. The
police Of that city have apparently never
thought his rescue worthy an effort OF theirs
to accomplish. Our correspondent now
presents the case in new light, which seems
to invest his new solution with much prob
ability. The bitter abuse of the mother
which forms o large portion of the contents OF
the unpublished letters seems to hint that the
crime was inspired by some more deadly mo-
tive than that Of avarice, and the question
occurs to the romantic reader, "Is there love,
disappointment and revenge behind it all Z"
According to the theory now advanced the
offer Of restoration of the child for a ransom
was meant by the criminals to divert the atten-
ton of the father from their true object.
While he was endeavoring to meet
their demand the child was taken
farther and farther away from his
home, and the traces of his keepers
were growing fainter with the lapse of time.
By the artifce of the letters and personals the
fond parents were deluded into hope, while
the supposed revenge or other object was
rapidly being consummated.
Every good citizen must still ferventlS
cherish the hope that the kidnappers will not
escape punishment. The imbecility or the
criminality of the police, however, has rem.
dered this desirable result highly improbable.
The PosTAL-CAR CoNTRovERsY.-It SCENE
rather ridiculous that short railroad, ninety.
six miles only in length, should ferment and
distract the brains of the Post Office Depart
ment in so fearful q manner as has been done
recently. President Hinckley, representing the
owners of this iron thoroughfare, has declined
carrying the United States mails at the CONT
pensation heretofore paid him. This refusal
was not absolute. 1t was, however, couched
in plain English. It has been discussed
and reiterated and modified during
several days past, and still the relations
of the controversialists ara not very well de-
fined. The postal cars will be allowed to
move on until bill for increased compensa-
ton shall have been dishonored. Without all
this trouble the position of the Railroad
President might more easily have been tested
by Offering the mail contract to another com-
pany and preventing the possibility of
serious interruption in the transmission of the
mails at the will Of ON irresponsible corpora
ton. As the matter now stands the trouble
may be renewed at any time, until Congress
shall choose next winter, to settle it after ito
own fashion, by establishing new rates for the
carriage of the mails.

Modern Orthodoxy A Rational
View of He'll

From a Sermon by Prof. Swing of Chicago.l
1t is only human religion such as
that of Buddha, or Thor, or Jupiter, that
may fear the growth of intelligence, and
that may fade as the light of reason
dawns; but if a religion from God, given
| by inspiration, the first distinguishing
principle must he that it will reveal its
reasonableness as fast as man unfolds
his own intelligence, and still become
more glorious where there is the most
culture. The medieval Christianity
having been disfgured by ignorance and
superstition, the subsequent growth of
religion had to express itselfin infidelity.
When Dante describes hell to mankind,
and his frightful pictures become the the
ology of the church, sweeping through
Romanism over into Professionalism until
Edwards says God will dash the sinner
down on hell's floor and stamp upon him,
then in6delity must follow, not simply to
save a man from such horrors, but to
rescue Gods blessed name from such un-
speakable infamy. In such a hell as
Dante's, it is not man that is punished,
it is God that is destroyed. From such
ideas we must fly to a more reasonable
religion, carrying the cross and our molly
faith away from such degradation.
We must, indeed, separate forever the
righteous and the wicked; but, as the
drunkard is punished in this world, and
as the murderer accepts of his arrest
without blaming God, as the soul feels
its own wickedness, and does not re-
proach the Creator, so the lost world is
place, not where God is seen as cruel
monster, but where the human free will
stands. forth in all its divine powers,
and reveals q selfpunishment over
which we can almost imagine the
Heavenly Father Himself to shed tears.
Such is the perdition of reason-a place
not where the Savior and God become an
inquisition, but where the sinners own
will and own heart have woven them
selves garments of perpetual sack cloth,
and where the tears of sorrow fall not
from a malicious decree of God, passed
from eternity, but fall out OF the sinners
own wretched soul and misspent life.
Thus, over almost every idea Of the
Christian religion, there is lying
drapery of reason fresh from the God of
infinite wisdom, and beautiful to man,
the image of the rational God.

Sam Houston Reprimanded.

The solemn farce of reprimanding q
mar at the bar of the House as a pun
ishment for breach of the privileges of
the body was performed in the case of
Sam Houston, Andrew Stevenson being
Speaker. Houston had been charged by
Stanberry, a member from Ohio, with
defrauding the Government in some
transaction with an Indian tribe on the
Tennessee border. An investigation
was requested, but Houston could get
no satisfaction. and not willing to rest
under the imputation, he inflicted a Sc
we're chastisement with a cane in the
precincts of the Capital. Houston was
arrested by the sergeant-at-arms, and
there was long trial, resulting in the
resolution that the offender should be
reprimanded by the Speaker. 1t was a
curious spectacle. Houston was at
that time striking specimen of
manly beauty. He was in the
prime of life, with more personal
advantages than almost any man of
his time. He stood considerably
| above six feet, and every way finely
proportioned. He was dressed in
faultless style when the sergeant-at arms
led him up to the bar OF the House. De
was perfectly selfpossessed, easy and
graceful in manner, without swagger or
self.assertion, with the bearing of man
who came there to pay his respects to
the House, and specially to its presiding
officer. The galleries were crowded, and
the members, with the spectators, looked
curiously on. Speaker Stevenson was
the only embarrassed person in the hall.
He was a large, fine looking man of
commanding presence; but he was
fdgety and uncomfortable, looking as if
he expected Houston to read him lee
ture. In a hesitating and perturbed
manner he told Houston that the House
had ordered him to be reprimanded by
its presiding officer, and he, the Speaker,
begged him to consider himself repri-
manded. Houston bowed in a graceful,
dignifed and lordly way, broad grin
spread over the House, and there the
matter ended. The Democrats had a
clear majority in Congress, and Houston
belonged to that party, but the breach Of
privilege was too Aagrant to be over
looked. Still the dignity of the body
was not vindicated by the Speaker s
reprimand.- An Old Stager, in Har-
per' s Magazine for June.
