UnbnttOning q House.

The Paris residence of the late Duke
of Brunswick, now in the course of de-
molition, in the Avenue Friedland, was
most extraordinary house, as all dis
covered who attempted to enter it for,
like coat or waistcoat, it had to be I'M
buttoned in order to get in. At the
front gate was metal button, and a
visitor would have to press this. It in
stantly set number of bells ringing in
violent connection. Admitted into the
garden, you still found yourself exclud-
ed from the house. Another button
had to be touched, and that done you
found yourself in an unfinished hall.
There was no staircase communicating
with the upper rooms where the Duke
slept. More buttons had to be pressed,
and at last you found yourself sitting
in an arm chair and raised by hydraulic
lift apparently to the living rooms
which the Duke used to occupy. The
walls of the bedroom were armor-clad.
By an ingenious mechanism, and touch
ing button, panel in the wall was re-
moved, and entrance gained. The
strong box nearly killed the workmen
who endeavored to open it, for it sent
Oft a mitrailleuse-like discharge. The
Duke de Treviso has bought the house,
and has stipulated that all the treasure
discovered in it shall belong to him.

The " RetOrt Courteous"

Lord Chesterfield happened to be at a
ball in France where Voltaire was one
of the guests. The former was gazing
about the brilliant circle of ladies, when
Voltaire accosted him with, "My lord,
l know you are judge; which are the
most beautiful, the English or the
French ladies?" "Upon my word, -
replied his lordship, with his usual
presence of mind, az am no connois-
seur of painting" Some time after
this, Voltaire being in London, went to
a nobleman's ball with Lord Chester
field. A lady in the company, prodig-
iously painted, directed her whole dis
course to Voltaire, and entirely en-
crossed his conversation. Chesterfield
came up and tapped him on the
shoulder, saying, "Sir, take care you
are not captivated." envy lord, re-
piled the French wit, ct scorn to be

The Cheney Case

Judge Williams yesterday rendered
decision IN the case of Whitehouse US.
Cheney. It will be remembered that
Mr.. Cheney was Rector of Christ
Church; that, because of certain al
legged want OF observance of the liturgy,
he was first admonished and then formal
ly presented before a court of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church that by this
court he was found guilty. After
reasonable time, a second court was
convened, which rendered Judgment,
and the Bishop formally deposed him
from the ministry. A bill was then
filed IN the Circuit Court asking that
Mr.. Cheney be restrained from using or
holding the church, which was the
property of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, of which he was no longer
priest. This was in 1873. The case
has been deliberately argued since then.
Judge Williams holds that all
churches in the United States are re-
garded in law as voluntary societies,
having their own laws and regulations,
and that these laws and regulations are
the stipulations governing all the rela-
tons OF the members. That Mr.. Cheney
was Rector, and holding his office by
and subject to the canons of the Church,
he was bound by them and subject only
to them. That, under the canons of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, the
first court was constituted of five as
SCISSORS, but only four attended the
trial that such court more nearly re-
sembles an arbitration than a civil
court; and that, by the law governing
arbitrations, all the arbitrators must be
present at the hearing of the case. I'm
der these circumstances. Judge
Williams holds that, one of the essen
tial members of the court not being
present, it was not court at all, within
the meaning Of the Church canon, and
its action was void. The proceedings
upon the second trial, resting upon
what took place at the first, the Court
had no jurisdiction, and of course it's
action was also void. It follows that
the subsequent proceedings by the
Bishop, he having no power to pro-
nounce a sentence except on the finding
of a proper court, and there being no
valid court in this case, were all equal
ly illegal, and OF warranted by the
canons of the Church. Consequently
the sentence of deposition pronounced
by Bishop Whitehouse falls with the
discovery that there was no court ca
nonically held. The bill was, there
fore, dismissed for want of equity.
This decision leaves Mr.. Cheney
legally minister of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, from which body he
has since withdrawn to join the Re-
formed Episcopal Church, in which he
is now Bishop. Chicago Tribune.

PERECEPT AND PRACTICE.

IEhECEfI AND IRACIlCE.
The Independent Reformers of
Springfield, at meeting held by them
last Wednesday, adopted the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, Tho Independent Reformers
hold that "the Office should seek the man !,
aud not man the office" and, whereas, the
MODERN plan Of office seekers, procuring
instructions of delegates, packing convsn-
tions and buying or trading for nomin-
atoms, is the foul source OF the great cor
ruptons In parties; and, whereas, the ORR
ginal design of the Institution Of political
nominating conventions was to secure
honest and capable men, representing GER
tain principles, to serve the people, and
not for tho private benefit Of the office.
holder; therefore
Resolred, That the first important step
towards reform must be TO cease the NOM
ination OF ofiice-seekors,, and make nomin-
atoms from among the non-npirants to
otiico. 80
The doctrine of this resolution is,
that no man should seek any Office.
that no citizen should say to his neigh
Dor: 81 would like to be elected to
the office of sheriff, and would be pleased
to have your influence The indie
pendent Reformers believe that the
members of each Of the political par
ties Of the country should assemble in
the primaries aud there select delegates
to conventions, which conventions, after
having discussed the abilities Of all the
members of the party they represent,
should say: "Mr. Smith we have con-
cluded that you ought to be sheriff
the office is seeking you; you must
allow it to find you"
This is pretty theory, but is i'm
practicable even in this early day in
the history Of the Independent Reform
party, it is utterly dlsregarded by the
very men who are the most loudly in-
sisting upon it. Wherever there is
even a probability that the Independ-
ent Reformers may succeed at the polls
this fall, there you will fod Independ-
ent Reformers, who are leaders in tina,
party-its representative men-seek-
ing office. Take for instance, the
Nineteenth Congressional district.
There Gen. Anderson, the bright
particular star of the Independent Re
form movement, has been seeking q
nomination for congress with great
assiduity, and has secured the nomina-
ton. In this district there is another
striking illustration of the fact, that,
while Independent keformers proclaim
that no man is entitled to office who
seeks it, the leaders of the movement
are industrious seekers for office.
This should be reformed by the Re-
formers. They should practice what
they preach, and put behind them the
dcmagoguos who attempt to lead them
who profess sympathy for their
cause because the said demagoguos be-
lieye that in this way they can obtain
places Of honor and profit.
