Editors of Register:
do not propose to inflict your read"
ers with an article sustaining or con-
demnipg the Rev. Mr. Latane for the
course he has taken or the manner oil
his resignation as Rector of St. Mat
thews church and his withdrawal from
the communion of the church in which
he has spent the better part OF his
life. These are matters with which the
congregation have nothing to do. /
d1ubt not tie sincerity of the man. .-
He chooses to sever his connection
with the church and deliberately presenti
his reasons for 30 doing. Thus uuex-
pectedly we are without minister.
We have often been in the
same situation before and no
commotion in the congregation.
Now, when Mr.. L. resigns some
people, both members OF the Church as
we'll as outsiders, GEEK to use the occa-
sion for the purpose OF disrapting and
forever, / fear, SCATTERING the congrega-
ton. $50
To me there seems to be no occasion
for alarm or trouble. Mr.. Lstane
alone is responsible to his God for what
he has done-let him depart in peace.
The question for us 10 discuss is bis
successor. The vestry should have at
once accepted his resignation, aud At
once called another minister. If they
do not act promptly they fail
to do their duty ss vestrymen,
and l fear from the character of some
of them they are not the men for the
present emergency; they do not seem to
appreciate the importance Of the trust
inn posed upon them. Let these men rise
above their own little personal prejudi-
ces and act for what they must know
ls the good Of old St. Matthews congte-
CATION, putting Mr.. Lstane out OF sight
as a person gone from among us, and
call at once good churchnau, 1 care
not from where, to fill the vacancy.
This is all they have to do, and their
plain duty. If they fail TO perform it LET
those who oppose resign at once, so men
of sense and christian spirit, having the
GOOD of the church at heart, may be
chosen to do what they have not got
the manly courage 10 perform.

IT seems to us that the friends OF the
several Normal Schools throughout
the State make very serious mistake
in denounciug as enemies OF free
schools and of our entire system OF
public instruction those who have not
been very favorably impressed with the
success OF the Normal Schools as here"
tofore conducted. 1t is quite possible
for q member Of the legislature or
private citizen to be 0 very sincere
friend Of our system OF free schools
without believing that sixty dollars per
pupil is cheap enough for Normal in-
struction at State expense or that Nor
NAL graduates should cost the State
Two Hundred and Forty.dollsrs each.
The friend Of Tree schools, while recog-
uizing the importance Of providing some
means Of giving professional instruction
to teachers, is apt to be startled by the
inadequate results Of the present system
and TO wonder whether there is mol .
cheaper way that will yield as much
good.
We don't think the legislature did
wisely 10 refusing the appropriation for
the Normal schools without providing
any other agency TO take their place.
but We do not think that sentiment Of
hostility to the free school system con-
trolled their action in this respect. The
agent of series of school-books would
have as good q right to accuse the
teacher or the Board who declined to
introduce his wares, Ct being
opposed to free schools, as the
men who are specially iu-
terested in or connected with the Nor
NAL schools have to bring auch an ac'
cusation against those who do not see
the merits Of their particular hobby.
Let the Normal school men exercise
little more charity in this regard and
bea little more sparing OF their denun-
Citations and they will do their cause
less harm.

TaR rumor now is that the House OF
Representatives will admit the caudi-
dates who received the largest popular
vote, without regard to the day on
which the election was held. Such a
course would be complete qualification,
and would set precedent which might
at some time return to plague it's inven-
tore. According to this rule. congress
sional elections may be held whenever
any candidate thinks he has "a good
show" and the man who gets the most
votes Is entitled to the eeat. A new
election might thus be held in this Disc
trict Tomorrow, and il the aspirant TOR
congressional houors should OBJ
tain q larger number OF
votes than was given tor
Mr.. DAVIS in August, 1872, he would be
entitled to admission as a representa-
tive. Certainly the House will not
commit itself to 80 absurd and danger
Gus doctrine,
However, the rule might be conven'
lent one in some respects, for, If the
time when an election is held does not
affect it's legality, it would be compare
lively easy to vote member out when
he had, by a salary grab" or some
other piece OF official wrong, outraged
and insulted his constituents. A new
election could thus be held at any time
and the guilty. member be brought
home whirling. But it is hardly likely
that the House contemplstes such an
application OF the rule.

MARK TWAIN DECEIVED,

You may remember that l lectured
lately for the young gentlemen of tie
Clayonian Society. During the afternoon
of that day, | was talking with one of the
young gentlemen referred to, and he said
he had an uncle who, from some cause or
other, seemed to have grown permanent
ly hereft of all emotion. And with tears
in his eyes this young man said
"Oh, if l could only see him laugh
once more. Oh, if could only see him
weep"
l was touched. / could never with
stand distress. ! said
Bring him to my lecture, L will start
him for YOU"
"Oh, you could but do it. If you
could but do it, our family would bless
you forevermore, for he is very dear to
US. Oh, my benefactor. can you make
him laugh? Can you bring those sooth-
ing tears to those parched orbs ?"
was profoundly moved. I said:
"My son, bring the old party round.
/ have got some jokes in my lecture that
will make him laugh, if there is any laugh
in him and, if they miss fire, have got
some others that will make him cry or
kill him, one or the other"
Then the young man wept on my neck,
and presently spread both hands on my
head, and looked toward heaven, numb
ling something roverently, and then he
went after his uncle.
He placed him in full view, in the Sec
ond row Of benches that night, and be-
gan on him. / tried him with mild jokes
then with severe ones dosed him
with bad jokes riddled him with good
ones fired old stale jokes into him and
peppered him with red hot new ones. l
warmed up to my work and assaulted
him on the right and left, in front and
behind; fumed, and charged, and rant
cd, till | was hoarse and sick, and frantic
and furious, but l never started smile
or tear-I never moved him once. New
or a ghost of smile, and never a suspi-
cion of moisture, l was astounded. l
closed the lecture at last with one des-
pairing shriek-with one W Id burst Of
humor-and hurled a joke of supernatur-
al atrocity full at him. 1t never phased
him. Then sat down bewildered and
exhausted.
The president of the society came up
and bathed my head in cold water, and
said
"What made you carry on so toward
the last ?"
& was trying to make that confound-
ed old idiot laugh, in the second row."
answered.
" Well, you were wasting your time +;
because he is deaf and dumb, and as
blind as badger" he said.
Now was that the way for the old mans
nephew to impose upon stranger and an
orphan like me ?

THE pretty playfulness with which
little children charm away the cares of
their parents, is illustrated by touching
occurrence in Indiana. A boy of six
years, after watching the laundry pro-
ceedings, and especially the way in which
the wrinkles in the linen disappeared be-
fore the fatiron, retired to mediate in
the room where his father was taking his
alter dinner nap. There gazing upon the
furrows which years of toll and struggle
had made upon the marble brow of his
parent he was seized with beautiful
idea. In less than a minute that devoted
little boy was smoothing out those marks
of time with very hot fatiron. Life
doesn't seem SO happy to his young heart
now as it used to.
