All that is said of Morrison r.
Waite, the Presidents third nomina-
tion for Chief-Justiee, it is so far
SAYS the Chicago Tribune, to his cred
it. He comes Of iIlustrious Judicial
parentage, his father having been
Chief-J Justice of Connecticut, and
one of the most eminent Jurists of
New England. He is graduate of
Yale, and is So years of age. His as
siduous devotion to the practice of
law has prevented him from aehiev-
ing a cheap popularity, but placed
him years ago at the head of the Bar
of Northwestern Ohio. He has COM
manded respectful public attention
in the last two years for his services
at Geneva as counsel for the United
States, and at Columbus, Ohio, as
President of the Constitutional Con-
vention, over which he was presid-
ing when he and the country were
surprised by his nomination. II is
singular that his nomination for
Chief f-Justiceship of the Supreme
Court should come just year to a
day after his admission to practice
in that Court. He has been a Re-
publican since the organization of
that party. Before that time he
was a Henry Clay Whig.

SIMEsE TWINS DEAD.-Probably
no one ever looked upon the Simese
twins without a painful speculation
as to how they would die. That
event occurred last Saturday morn
ing, at Mount viry, North Carolina,
and was horrible, as might have been
anticipated. Chang had been un-
well for several months, and died
Saturday morning after sudden i'll
ness of few hours. Eng followed
him after two hours, most of which
was spent in an agony of raving.
They were united bYp a moderate
sized connecting process in the CEN
tire of which was a single umbilicus.
They were born in 1911, and both
leave wives and children. Their
long life has been physiological
anomaly, as members of the peculiar
group to which they belong almost
invariably die at birth.

The OHIO GAME LAWS. At the
meeting of the Ohio State Agricul-
tural Con vention, held in Columbus
last week, composed of delegates
representing nearly all of the county
Agricultural Societies, the commit
tee on business submitted the follow
ing resolution as part of their re-
port, which was adopted without dis
sent, except that at the end of the
resolutions proviso was attached
providing that the prosecutor was
to be the owner of the land trespass-
ed upon. The resolution reads:
ResoEoed That the Legislature of
Ohio be respectfully urged to amend
the game laws of Ohio, so as to se-
cure to the owner or occupier of
lands all game thereon; to make all
persons who shall catch or kill the
same upon the premises of another
liable to the owner or occupier of
said land for the value of said game,
and for all other damages resulting
from said catching or killing by said
trespassers; and that it be a penal Of
fense, punishable by fine and impris-
onment, for any person to go upon
the premises of another for the pur-
pose OF hunting or killing as afore-
said.

Two months ago, Terry Island, off
the Connecticut coast, was the gath
ering-place of the maddest of mad
companies. The Second Adventists
waited here for the coming of the
Lord, which was sure to take place
on New Years day. The interven-
ing time was devoted to preparation,
to publication of spirit and body.
Enthusiasts, sane and insane, focked
to the meetings as the day drew
near. Many left their worldly goods
without a guardian. Their belief
was absolute. To doubt was sin.
They watched and prayed till the
day came, and the Lord did not. A
few days grace was given, but the
last trump remained unblown. The
gathering broke up. The Second
Advent organ, the WatchmGpa's Cry,
of Meriden, cries aloud once more.
1t can see no mistakes in its figures;
they show that the world ought now
to be nowhere. There is something
pathetic in the odd question it puts:
CATER all, may it not be true that
we are the simple-minded, foolish peo-
pie the world at large esteem us to
be, and our hopes mere dream, an
haIlucination?"

LEGIsLATURE.-A Bill was intro
duced in the Senate at Columbus on
Wednesday last by Mr.. Paul-to so
amend the act for the encourage
ment of agriculture as to require
county commissioners to contribute
for the purchase or improvement of
fair grounds an amount equal to
that contributed by individuals, or
at least six thousand dollars, and
leaves the appropriation of any fur
ther sum to the discretion of the
commissioners.
Mr.. Butterworth offered a resolu-
ton to appoint a select committee
of five to investigate as to what ad-
ditional legislation is necessary to
protect citizens against unjust
charges by telegraph and railroad
companies. Referred to the Com
mittee on Railroads and Telegraphs.
In our State Constitutional Con-
vention a new plan of county and
township organization has been pro-
posed, involving five officers with
six years terms, chosen by the sys-
tenn of proportional representation.

Alexis on America.

A correspondent who has seen the ad-
vanced sheets of the Grand Dukes first
volume of his account of his voyage
around the world, says: "This Is certainly
very curious work. To Judge of what
have read of it-whether his imperial
highness wrote it himself or whether an
ahler pen did it for him-the book is in
tensely interesting. The grand duke says

A Shakereas RefnrnS-

Nine years ago the wife of Friend
Daniel Pratt, at Davis's Mills, in
EaSSalborough, left her husbands
bed and board and removed to New
Gloucester, joining the fraternity of
Shakers. Whatever the cause of
this proceeeding-su proba-
bly,, in her mind-it was kept to her
self. She packed up her furniture
and quietly left for her new home and
associations. For nine long years
she has lived in her strangely chosen
home. In the meantime her devoted
husband lived alone at the old home
stead, keeping alive the fire on the
hearthstOne, and moving along ap-
Parently contented and happy, as
though nothing unusual had happen
ed. But the strangest part is the Sc
quel. The other day, the spirit
moved the old lady to leave Shaker
dom, and return to the scenes of her
former home. This she does, and is
cordially received by the long de-
serted but still faithful husband. He
goes more than half way to meet the
returning prodigal wife. The veal
season having passed, the old gen.
tleman slaughtered turkey, fatted
for the Christmas holidays, and
there is joy in that house, undisturb-
ed ed by the complainings of any elder
brother. The neighbors got togeth-
er and gave public reception and
supper in honor of the event. And
SO the aged couple, who have passed
the three-quarter milestone of a CEN
tury, are living together again, con-
tented and happy, and hand in hand
they step gently down the western
declivity of life toward its setting
sun. Kem'ae6eck, (Me.) Journal.

DRESS IN CHURCH.-The EUa,aqel-
ist says: Nowhere, we are ashamed
to say, is the bad taste of ostentation
in dress more conspicuous than here.
1t seems as if, with many, the Sab
bath was the grand occasion for
display, and the church the place for
self-exhibition. In no other country
have we seen so much show and tin
selry in the churches as in our own
cities. In Europe, not only, but on
the continent-such display is rigid
ly forbidden, not by law but by the
recognized canOns of good taste.
Nothing is considered more vulgar
a more certain mark of low breeding
than this kind of ostentation in a
place of worship. 1t is only the "new
rich'-what we should call the "shod-
dy" people-that try to exhibit them
selves in the house of God But rs
that class is larger in this country
than anywhere else, we have more of
these wretched exhibitions. We
trust our American ladies will not
be above taking a lesson from the
Queen of England.

Ex-senator DOolittle was installed
on Monday as President, pro tena.,
of the University of Chicago. In
introducing President Doolittle, ex-
President Burroughs alluded to the
time, thirty years ago, when he,
then a theological student, first met
Mr.. Doolittle in Warsaw, n. Y,
where he was known as "the eloquent
young Doolittle of the Genessee Bar. ="
There was no one in the nation, he
said, to whom he would sooner COM
NIT the interests of the University
than to Judge Doolittle. In accept
ing his new duties, President DoOlit-
tie stated that his other engagements
would not allow him to give up his
residence at Racine, Wis, and he
will, therefore, give but one evening
and one morning of each week to
the administration of his Office.
