One T. W. Upton resides in Nebras-
ks. In years past from a rip-roaring
Methodist preacher, he went into pol
itics. and after while became Uni
ted States Senator. His talents are
immense in the same way that very
big brass kettle is immense: the re-
cults OF his talents are the same as
those OF a prairie wind mill, minus all
but the wind. He will be recollected
as the fellow always caricatured by
Mast in the last Presidential campaign
among the Liberal Senators - hang
ing upon the outskirts, cavorting and
jumping abont like the Irishman's pig
with his mouth aud cheeks distended,
bellows fashion. Nsst's hit was most
npropos as everybody knowing tho
subject recognized, but the insignif-
canoe of the man occasioned only n
passing notice Of his figure which al
ways brought mp the rear.
We never before used this much
space in mentioning this individual,
but his having lntterly become obso-
:lete in the public mind, leads us to
brief HE history this much in order to
speak Of little feat of his in the
United States Senate last week, char
actcristic Of small bored men. The
occasion was a motion to adjourn the
Senate for few hours in order that
Senators might attend the marriage OF
Miss Nellie Grant. Upton spied q
text for his wind work, and wanted
ayes and noes on the question. The
Senate quietly snnbbed him in which
al parties united. The school houses
Of Nebraska, and the quiet four.cor-
ner's blacksmith shops will witness
startling scenic tests Of melo- dramatic
tragedy this fall as he swells his hide to
thunder forth his pent up virtue at this
terrible outrage Of the American Sem
ate upon tue American people. That
asses ears have, however, 90 often been
exposed to the people, that his exhibi.
ton no longer pays.

forms Of faith and polity Presbyterian
ism is . fact not to be ignored. Her
fundamental principles should be nm.
derstood before they are ssssiled.-
Their influence upon individual char.
acter should be noted their connec-
ton with the assertion and maintain.
ance Of civil and religious liberty
should be taken into account; and
their relation historically aud casually
with the Intelligence and general Id
vancement Of tho 10Th century should
not be overlooked.
Whether Prof. Swing was charged.
BILE with any material departure from
the doctrines which he has protested
to hold and vowed to maintain is not
entirely clear. His acquittal by the
Presbytery would indicate that
he VISA not. The Presbyterian
Discipline however gives an accused
person every rightful advantage
He is to be presumed innocent until
proved guilty. Every doubt IL to be
construed In his favor, and the ac-
cused or any other interested party has
the right Of appeal to higher church
court. On the other hand, the fact
that Prof. Swing has Withdrawn from
the Presby terrain Church since his &C.
quittal, which he had o perfect right to
do, and which he could have done at
any previous time, will, along with
facts developed In the trial, convince
many that the charges were well foun-
ded. From the writer's standpoint It
seems 10 him that Prot. Patton not only
had : perfect right to bring charges
Against Swing, but that unless he man-
Tested An upkind spirit III the matter
which I believe he did not, he should
be presumed to have acted conscieBtl-
6usly and consistently. He did what
any member of the Presbytery had .
right TO do. On the other hand Meth !
or Prof. Swing norhis personal friends
have any right to complain that his
views were inquired into. Neither in

mand Oliver stated that he hated to kill the man
bat was sworn to obey his superior officers, AMI
when Tucker told him to kill Gray, he raised his

Oliver aays that lie heard this stated by the lead

interesting and instructive we have listened to for
many years. His subject, "The Science of Sue
cess" or "Bourd to VIM" was fruitful in Illus
trative characters adapted to bring out the full
scope of his argument; and with his fuency and
even eoquence of speech and thorough under
standing Of his theme, he could not fail of
securing the most absorbing atten-
ton OF his large and intelligent audience. His
analyzaton Of the characters and histories of such
