Its with sorrow that | am COM
PEELED to chronicle the fall Of another
clergyman, and that, too, in Saratoga.
The unfortunate man is the Rev. DR..
Corey, who has been with DIR. Deems
for many years, the spiritualistics co
adviser of Commodore Vanderbilt
We all know that for many years DIR.
Corey has driven fast horses with the
Commodore, but his friends were not
prepared to hear of his fall like Mr..
Beecher through woman. The
scandalous story being told by Dr.
Coreys brother clergymen at The
States" to-day is as follows: For sew
eral weeks Dr. Corey has been noticed
at intervals to be engaged in talking
with a beautiful young lady on the
balcony. No other strange conduct
was noticed, and, and nothing serious
has been thought of the matter till to-
day, when the full particulars Of the
clergyman fall became known. 1t
seems that last evening about dusk
the Doctor was seen talking still more
earnestly with the same young lady,
when another young lady, friend of
the first, huriedly joined the two.
DotH yuuhS AaulCs dlC AlSHIy COAHcCt'
ed, but their names are withheld from
the public for the present. As The
second lady appeared words ensued,
and DIR. Corey seemed to be surprised
/ about something. Stepping back
moment toward the edge of the bal
conyl his foot slipped, and the unfortu-
nate clergyman fell over the edge and
down into water sprinkler, totally
running the sprinkler and tearing
fearful rent in in his dress. Before
the doctors fall became publicly
known he fled to New York, where he
is now keeping his room while his
family tailor is trying to patch up the
difficulty and mend the unfortunate
affair. stg
! Yesterday morning DIR. Corey sat
/ on THE States balcony talking the
ology with DIR. Tying and DR.. Robert
Collyer of Chicago. DR.. Collyer is
called the "Beecher Of the West" He
always considered it !; great compli-
ment to be called so. When Dr.. Tying
smilingly referred to him as the
''Beecher of the West" to day, DR..
Collyer held up his fore finger and
1 said:
Tut, tut, DIR. Tyngt [ ain not like
Mr.. Beecher I'm not notthe Beech
err of the Vest any more; that dis
tinction belongs to Florence McCar-
| thy" " 80.
4 & While DR.. Collyer sat talking and
moralizing over the sins Of this gay
and fashionable world, Dir. Corey, who
Eworships nice horse, kept one eye
on the minister and the other on the
Commodore s team of trotters.
Alas, DR.. Corey, remarked DR..
Collyer, as he drew a long sigh, I'VE
live In avery fast age. These are last,
T t S times"
(" Fast, Brother Coliyer? Do you call
them fast Well. they are fast for
Saratoga" mused DR.. Corey, as he
wiped his eye glasses, :" but if you
want to see really fast time you ought
to see the Commodore S team in New
York. Why. I'll bet ten dollars they
can dust anything ever seen in Sara
toga. %3a
Brother Tying only dropped his
head upon his hands and drew a sigh
which could only come from crush
,, ed and broken heart. sat ii.

former Sheriffs of "Old Wayne"
now & citizen of Minneapolis, and
engaged in the same business, Of
whom the st. Paul Pioneer, of July
2Sth, tells this incident, which will
convince all who know him that his
inventive faculties and fund of ex
pedients, are inexhaustible:
"Oflicer Jesse T. Williams, late on
Sunday afternoon, found couple
Of scantily dressed little girls, one
apparently three and tile other five
years of age, wandering about in
the vicinity Of the Court House,
and crying to so home He in

could not tell. Taking the children
by the hand Jesse started out upon
a tour of investigation, which
proved fruitless. All inquiries were
in vain-no one knew who the lost
ones were or where there home
was. A little dog was with the
children, and would remain with
them, moving only as they moved
Officer Williams finally took then
into the residence Of a good Sa

would take the dog to the door, anc

naturally run home, and as Jesse
don't pretend to run himself, he

the dog, at the top of their speed
while he came along with the chill

The dog, after being thrashed a lit

Jesse arrived with the lost children
and found that the little Foxe

Nevertheless, Jesse did well, an
his manner Of finding their HON

SIR: Until recently I had sup
posed the secular, and especially
the religious press would maintain
the sacred rule of justice. That
established character is full evidence
against improved attacks. I had
supposed that charges against such
a character would be treated as
SANDER until fhlly proved. am
the elder sister OF seven ministers
of Christ, Of whom I can say that
from their early childhood I never
knew of IN impure word or act of
them. And therefore when the one
who from early youth has proved a
model lover and husband, was &C
cused by . hapless woman, tortured
into self accusation in temporary
insanity, I supposed established
character was his sure protection,
and felt it nm insult to him, his
family, and his church, that IAN in
vestigation" was demanded to prove
his innocence. And it has been
with sense Of danger to every
delicate and pure woman that it is
so often claimed that in this case
there must be suspended judg
ment." 1 regard this treatment OF
my brother as declared war on
womanhood.A It is practically
saying: Let any vile woman OF
viler man accuse any lady of the
most disgusting crime, and she
shall be suspended before the pub
lie as guilty until she proves her
innocence. In the public papers
already, pure and distinguished
ladies' are being assailed as my
brother, and I ask every honorable
man who has q mother, wife, OF
sister he respects, to come to the
rescue by maintaining that all
persons shall be treated as SANDER
ers who circulate improved attacks
This is not written in aid OF ,
brother, who is sure to be still
more beloved and respected thar
ever. It is an appeal for protection
for my sex.

A young lady named Annie !

7sk ~ $ :
A young lady named Annie n.
johnson underwent an experience
few days ago, which, although
exciting and altogether novel, she
will not care to have repeated. She
attended . picnic at Welsh Nouns
tain, Pa ; and o swing having been
rugged to a limb of a tree more
than thirty feet from the ground,
the young lady seated herself in it,
and insisted upon being swung as
high as possible. At each success
i've sweep she rose higher, till she
had gained an altitude of at least
thirty feet. BY this time the other
ladies had become so terrified that
they could no longer look upon the
perilous performance. Suddenly,
as the swing with its living burden
was making forward sweep, the
head of the young lady was noticed
to droop, her nerveless hands un-
clasped from the rope, and she was
shot from her seat into the branch
es of tree which stood ninety feet
from the one to which the swing
was attached. She landed securely
between two branches, where they
forked from the tree, thirty FIVE
feet from the ground. The gentle
men of the party hastily undid the
rope, mounted the tree, and reach
ell Miss johnson just as she was
recovering consciousness. The rope
was secured about her body, under
the arms, and then passed around
limb, and she was safely lowered
to the ground. Strange as it may
appear, she was in no way injured.
though her body was SO tightly
wedged between the limbs of the
tree that it required no little force
TO extricate her.

About three weeks ago an elderly
man, Hodges, father Of George
Hodges. who was recently killed at
Copperopolis, was brought to this
city, examined by Drs. 'Thornedike
and Browne, before Judge Buckley,
and pronounced insane During
tile examination he declared that
unless his son George would repent
and preach the Gospel of Jesus
Christ he would be killed with a
knife within two weeks from that
time. Little notice was taken of
the remark, further than being con
sidered by the physician as one Of
8 diseased mind But, strange as
it may appear, the, prediction was
verified. Exactly two weeks from
the day on which the old man used
the singular expression, his son
George was stabbed and killed

TO THE PUBLIC.

! For the information Of the public, a few
words Of explanation is necessary for the
general use of the Balm, to show that one
medicine can be used beneficiallg for the
different diseases OF the human system. No
medicine cures fisease, but merely assists
nature, when judiciousiy administered.
The reason why the Balm acts successfully
upon various diseases, is, that it is entirely
vegetable, having neither mineral, narcotic.
nor deadly poison in its compounst; it is,
therefore, an antidote for al! poisons. and
upon the nerves and capillary system,
which gives immediate circulation of the
arterial blood through the diseased parts,
which is the true stiInulant and true puri-
fer of the system, and its free circulation
must produce health in any diseased organ
of the system.

Close by the basement doorstep,
A representative toad - 8 81
Has made, all the sultry summer,
His quiet and cool abode;
And the way he bumps and bounces
About on the area stones,
Would break every bone in his body,
Except that he has no bones.
When man is bringing and abject,
And fawns for a selfish end,
Why they should call him toady
What mortal can comprehend?
Since for resolute Independence,
Despising the courtier's code,
And freedom from mean ambitions,
There's noboy like the toad.

But the toad is never vicious, re
Nor silly, nor stupid nor slow.

Oh, but the mouth he carries!
To make Its dimensions clear,

AS reaching from ear to ear;
But that,no Professor OF reptiles
Is able $50 far as appears
In books upon kindred subjects)
To locate batrachian ears.
No matter how stern and solemn
The markings about his eyes,
The width Of his mouth preserves him
From wearing too grave n Cl,is.s.
Itgives him the look tho matter
How sad he may be the while
Or deep In profound abstracticn)
or smiling a chronic smile.
His ponderous locomotion,
Though brimful OF nerve and force,
And well enough here in the erea, Al.

Too modest to run for Congress,
Too honest for Wan streets strife, s

A hole fnahc ground contents him.,
SO little he asks Of fate;
Philosopher under q dock-leaf,
He sits like King in state. = fs 800
Shoulda needless footstep mash him,
In gravel absorbed and blent,
He never complains or grumbles,-
He knows it was accident.

For spring would be hack triumphant,
Before he was 1aff way there. - y
But what are his plans for the future,
Or where lie intends to go,
Or what he is weighing and planning,
Are things we shall never know.

For in fact, like the needy knife grinder,
Heihas never o story to tell!
