RETIRING CONGRESSMAN. of the sig
nifcant signs of the times is the great number
of prominent members of the present Congress
who have announced their intention to retire
from public life. We refer of course to none
of those whose constituents wish to get rid Of
them, but only frst-cass men of both parties,
who have deliberately and voluntarily conclud-
ed that considering the various worriments of
the position it doesn't "pay'' to belong to the

clung. Mr.. Clarke, who had fortunately Sc
cured hold of rope attached to the yacht, and
who was doing his utmost to help the Others

and tried to save her, but getting her head
above the surgihg water discovered that life

A Social SENSATION.-The Son of an
admiral Weds a Ballet GTl.-Certain circles
of Washington are Just now agltated by the
marriage of young man of high social posi-
ton to one of the ballet girls of the Theatre
Comique. The young man alluded TO is
Presley j. Jenkins, son OF Admiral Jenkins
of the navy He is about twenty years of age
with dark hair, and is small and rather delicate
looking, not weighing over hundred pounds
He has been frequent visitor at the Theatre
Comique, and while witnessing the mazes of
the bewildering Can-Can, became interested in
one of the dancers who nightly treated the
boards at that place. She is blonde, about
ten years the senior of the young man, and has
been on the stage and in the variety business
for some time. She is about the medium
height, and is considered good looking. She
bears the name of frankie Christie, and has
recently taken the part of "Erailty," in the
Can, with infinite grace and spirit The
visits of young Jenkins to the theatre became
more frequent, and he sought his charmer
behind the scenes, and at the close of the per-
formance he was her most constant companion.
On Tuesday of last week he visited MIR. Meigs
at the city hall, and took out a license for
marriage, and on the same evening at St.
Johns p. E. Church, the assistant rector
officiating, he took her for better or worse. J"
Last Friday there was ripple of excitement at
the west end, which increased before night,
aud the friends of the young man becoming
satisfied of the truth of the rumor of marriage,
at once telegraphed to the admiral at Newport,
r. |. The young man, however, did not allow
this to interfere with his romance, and last
night he occupied a prominent seat at the
Theatre Comique, and appeared to greatly
enjoy the evolutions of his bride. AT the con-
clusion of the performance, in company with
her and the groomsman, he left the theatre for
the Continental Hotel where they are at
present domiciled = Washington Star.

Emanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, of
Louisville, Kentucky, as was stated in the
telegraphic dispatches of few days ago, has
joined the Bishop Cummins' or, as he calls it,
reform movement" The new church now
numbers, we believe, some dozen or more con-
gregatiOns, two of which are in Philadelphia,
two in Chicago, two in New York, one each in
Pittsburg, Peoria, Louisville, and Washington,
with perhaps one or two scattered in other
cities This sect, which came into existence
with the formal announcement by Bishop
Cummins of his withdrawal from the Church
on the 10th of November last, has grown surely
but slowly, but not with the rapidity nor the
enthusiasm anticipated by its sanguine projec-
tors. Although these gentlemen believed the
time was ripe for revolt, the ranks of the
secessiOnists have not yet swollen into more
than the proportions which any new religious
party might have expected to attain in the
same time, in these days of doubt snd dissen-
sion, or, as the extremely orthodox express it,
of seeking strange gods. " Its strength seems
to lie more with the clergy than with the laity.

REMARKABLE BALLOON AsCENsIoN-A
Thirteen Hours Aerial Voyage. tele-
graphic dispatch from Elkton or the 5th inst
stated thut balloon passed over that place on
Sunday which created no little excitement. 1t
appears by the Buffalo IN. Y.sDaily Courier,
of Monday, that it was the balloon Buffalo"
which started from that city on Saturday even
ing, the 4:h inst, under the direction of Prof.
King. The Courier says:
AT fifteen minutes past five the imitation
was complete. The basket was we'll supplied
with provisions, blankets and overcoats. The
gentlemen accompanying Professor King we're
Mr.. Luther i. Holden, of the Boston Journal,
MIR. W. L. Chester, and Mr.. James AlbrO
At four minutes past six the balloon started on
her voyage, with the wind, according to Oh
server Mitchells calculations, moving at the
rate of eight miles an hour.
A correspondent of the Courier, writing
from Salem. New jersey on the 5th, where
the balloon had safely arrived, gives some in
teresting particulars OF the voyage. He says
After leaving Buffalo and passing several
villages, the balloon rose to a height of 5000
feet, aud soon alter rose to greater altitude,
and for a time the earth was obscured. After
travelling until midnight range Of lofty
mountains began to appear, which Prof. King
decided to be the Allegheny range. In the
early morning the Buffalo found itself taking
a more eaSterly course than before, and flying
over scenes of unexamped beauty-the richly
cultivated fields of York county, Pennsylvania
and the northern corner of Maryland The
views over this garden spot OF the North beg
gars description. Our course became more
easterly and it was soon evident that we would
approach the Atlantic coast. We crossed the
Susquehanna river about four miles above
HaVre de Grace at twenty minutes past five
then sailing at height of nearly two miles
the splendid panorama Of this sinuous rive
was visible for hundred miles of its length
The Potomac river to the South and Chesa

little south, passed directly over Salem City
and at five minutes past seven Professor Kim
made a successful, though rather exciting
landing among lot of scrub oaks about tel
miles beyond this point. The balloon mus

thirteen hours, and the voyage is one of tn
longest and most interesting ON record"

THE PRESIDENT AND SOUTH CAROLINA A
Washington correspondent Of the New York

Judge T. J. Mackey, of South C1rolna, has
returned to his home from visit to Washing
ton, where he had conversation with the
President. He says General Grant asked him
sharply: Why don't you convict Noses, =
AMI when he REPLIED that he could not get him
into court, tn Pre- id snt den)unced the assump-
ton that President or Governor is above law
as mon ,trous. La the subsequent conversation
the ju lge represents the President as saying
that there must be true reform this fall, or
the republican p Irty would at once repudiate
the so-called republicans of South Carolina
The iu lge was convinced that the President is
much disguised with the present condition of
affairs 10 South Carolina, and that henceforth
he will pursue broader policy toward the
South. Judge Mackey hopes that by the aid
of the national administration and the labors of
honest men in the State, an honest candidate
for Governor will be nominated, who will rout

REV. Mn. INsKIP IN TROUBLE-The na.

insisted on laying on of hands as a means of
sanctlhcation. For this they were publicly de-

His dedication said to and of His disciples that
they should lay hands ON the sick and they

Miss Ward was thus healed of distressing
malady at Ocean Grove last summer. And VIII,

doctrine which Messrs. Inskip, Mcdonald anC
