The great baldacchino case is settled. Baldacchino. we may inform the uneccle- siastical reader, is not a new brand of ci- gars, new variety of faro, or work by one of the "old masters It is, on the contrary, the canopy over the holy table in certain formalities of the Catholic ser vice, and IS contemptuously referred to by the British low church party as ''four-post bedstead' in Our churches. l" St. Barnabas church, Pimlico, London, haxing attempted to use baldacchino in the Episcopal service, Dr. Tristram, chan cellor of the diocese, decides that it does not come within the rubrics, and is not necessary or subsidiary to the services of the church.-SprinGfetd Rcpubltcon.

When it was discovered, recently, that certain Massachusetts liquor sellers who were supposed to be serving the State in penal capacity, were in fact thriving at their old business and undergoing pun ishment merely by substitute. people thought the criminal instinct had hit on an entirely new device. A reference to the article on our first page will show that this dodge is as old as the landing of the Pilgrims. It also shows that the mod ern selectman has come honestly by his views on the pauper question. If the troublesome savages of our day could be quieted in that easy way, and, instead of appropriating eight million dollars, Con- gress could make everything lovely by appropriating few thousand persons now " burdensome to keep alive" how quickly town officials would fill up the s.quotow" of New England.

BEAUTIFUL WonEN.-The hair is the cro~ning glory of woman. There are few moderate defects which cannot be re- medied by the proper disposition of the tresses. But when the hair begins to fall out, or turn gray, in young people, or with those in the prime of life, there is cause for real regret. When this is the case, Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair Re- newer will be found to be first class re- medy, far superior, as a sound medical medium, to anything else before the public.

Attorney Gen. Williams has shown his sense in requesting the President to with draw his nomination as Chief Justice. But now comes the sumner for some, in the nomination of Caleb Cushing. He is a splendid lawyer, admirably fitted by talent and education for the position; but then he Is very old and extraordinarily cross. He quarrelled with Chief Justice Cockburn at Geneva, and wrote a very abusive book about him on his return: he sued q Congressman because his dog howled under his window at Washington; and he says Williams. and Sickles. and Fish, know nothing about international law. Moreover, his political record is crochety as his temper, He was an old Whig and Tylerized; an old Copper head, and voted for Grant; and the New York Times, and the N. Y. Tribune, and the N. Y. World, are for once unanimous in disliking his appointment. A formida- ble opposition is expected in the Senate, and good deal of the 'tfat is still in the 
 fire" Our individual notion is, however, that he ought to be confirmed. He, is honest, able, and eminently qualified for the position. His age only shortens his term of usefulness. His temper will, we trust, improve the manners of the bar. His politics may be defective, but it is law, not politics, that we expect from the 1 Supreme bench.
