CHURCH OF TIE xED1AToR.

The Rev. DR.. Thomas p. Cornell ON
Fsith-Extrcme Ritualism Denounced
az Gsoundicss and without Faith.
Yesterday was dreary day without, but not.
wtthstanding this the interior OF she Church OF
the Mediator, corner OF Jenerson street and Or.
mond place, Brooklyn, looked a. bright and
cheerful as ever. The church was well nled, and
the music, as 1t usually ts very nne. The sermon
was preached by Dr.. Thomas F. oornell tho lately
appointed rector, and was able and eloquent.
His text was taken from the Eptstle Of Ss.
James, Il, 30--"But wilt thou know, vain
man, that faith without works ts dead 2"
The Doctor proceeded to show that the
text was looked upon in two lights, yet showing
the same Light a. spoken OF by 81. James and st.
Paul. st. James says . man Is not Justified by
faith only $50 the body without the spirit is dead
30 faith without works is dead" st. Paul also
says. ITO him that worketh is the rcward-not
recAoned OF grace, but OF debt" Many discuss re-
ltgion from the heart rather than from the under

Tnere is religion that lies more In the stee pie of

more OF banners, altar cloths ana outer vestments

Is only one side. As there we're some that be-

belong not to Him. Wilt thou. vain man, know
that without taith work is vains The followers Of
this creed can converse OF God, give faithful

Yesterday morning service was held In Rev. DR..

Came TO Grief.

Mrs. Hooper in one of her recent
Paris letters gives the following Incl
dent, showing how an ill-mannered En-
glishwoman came to grief in Rome
" Her abuse was leveled at Americans,
and one particular one who happened
TO be standing in front of her and OBJ
structing her view in the Sistine
Chapel. At last the Englishwoman
was so wrought up as to pull the dress
of the supposed American to make her
sit down, when she turned round and
dealt her tormentor a smart slap IL the
face, pouring forth at the same time
volley of abuse in purest French, much
to the amusement of the quiet Aneri-
can spectator of the scene, who, when
rarrating the story to me, added, 1t
was very wrong of the Frenchwoman
thus to assault her adversary, but was
very glad that she did. ,"

Our Representatives.

In the race for seats at Washington
the legal profession has generally the
inside track, but the home legislative
bodies contain a better proportion of
other classes of the community. The
honest farmer, the village doctor, or
an occasional clergyman, in his rural
simplicity, deems it an honor to be per-
mitted to write Honorable" before
his name, and is allowed the privilege.
In some remote districts where the
caucus is as exemplary in its delibera-
tions, as a prayer meeting, they rotate
in Legislative duty, and when they say,
" It's Squire So-and-so's turn this
year." that settles it as effectually as if
all the known devices of politics had
been brought into play in securing the
nomination. In Delaware, which has
the reputation of being quiet and So
Der little commonwealth, the newly
elected Legislature, it is said, does not
contain a single lawyer, and we dare say
that the State will not go to ruin In the
next year or two because of that fact.
After all, the Senate of the United
States is the paradise where lawyers go.
Out of less than four-score members
about fifty belong to that honored class,
and very curious lawyers some OF them
are. These last evidently got in there
because they had nothing to do-and
they understand perfectly the art O. DO

The Great Fire at CrOnstadt, Russia.

a st. Petersburg letter, dated Novem-
Der ), Gays: "The great fire at Cron-
stadt is still the universal topic of con-
versation here. Cronstadt, as every
body knows, is on an island at the very
mouth of the River Neva. How, there
fore, frein such place can be allowed
to spread so as to destroy the dwelling
places of from 10000 to $4,000 people
puzzles many wise men here. The local
paper, the Cronstadt BOter, of to-day,
gives The following details: Nine
squares or blocks of houses, including
the .Gostinni Dwor, or Bazaar, have
been completely destroyed. The mass
of houses thus laid in ashes was in
habited 10y 5000 people. The build
ings consisted of 101 wooden and IS
stone houses, church, 2 chapels, 80
shops in the Gostinni Dwor, and rs
shops attached to the marine barracks.
IT will, perhaps, not appear so extraor-
binary thai considerable part of Cron-
stadt has been destroyed by fire, when
it is remembered that it has not yet
been supplied with any civilized system
of water works. People who require
water in Cronstadt have to fetch it from
the river which washes its shores, and
as such en- operation can hardly keep
pace with the demand in case of a con-
fagration, it is only astonishing that
the result has not been more disas-
trous."

Wednesday morning last stranger
entered dry goods store on Woodward
avenue and inquired for the proprietor,
whose feelings are herewith respected
and his name suppressed. The stranger
introduced himself as Fiske, and said
that man who lay dying at a certain
clearinghouse on Larned street west
had something to say to the merchant
before he passed away. Thinking it
very singular, the merchant put on his
overcoat and went down to the house in
company with the stranger. On a bed
up stairs he found the dying man. The
merchant expected to find q pale,
emaciated patient, but instead he found
a pretty healthy looking fellow, who
was, however, snugly covered up in
bed, and whose voice was away down in
his throat.
"You wished to see me, did you ?"
asked the merchant as he sat down.
81 did," answered the patient.
4" The doctor says that [ will not live
twenty-four hours, and want to con-
TESS a crime and ask your forgiveness.

eyes," answered the merchant.
"Well," continued the man, hap
pened to be in St. Joseph that year, and
one day while you were at dinner and
your clerk busy stole pair of boots
and a cap, amounting in value to per-
haps six dollars. 1t is the only theft [
ever committed, and it has caused me
endless anxiety. Now, before l die, |
wish TO ask your forgiveness and to re-
store the value of the goods"
The merchant could not remember
anything about the affair, nor of the
man, who said his name was Jefferson,
and he replied that it was all right, and
that he didn't care fo1 compensation.
But both men pressed him to take at
least fifteen dollars for the amount
stolen so long ago. and he reluctantly
consented. The dying man pulled out
a roll of bills, ali of the denomination
of 500, and the merchant handed back
ffty-four dollars, all the money he had,
and told the well man to come to the
store after the rest. He shook hands
with the patient, hoped that death
might he arrested and returned TO the
store alone having the 500 bill in his
vest pocket. The stranger had not
called up to- p. M, and the merchant
finally took a closer look at the bill.
His hair began to raise up, and he
started for bank.
g Best counterfeit I've seen fer a
year." remarked the cashier as he
handed the bill back.
The merchant then secured the SER
vices of detective and they FASTENED
to the clearinghouse to find that the
men had departed before noon. They
came there the evening previous, paid
for two days board, and the landlady
did not know anything about them, but
supposed the merchant knew them
both. One at least must have known
something of the merchants former
history, as he referred to facts, and al
though they did not get the stake they
played for, they nevertheless made a
good enough thing of it. Ever since
Wednesday detective has been looking
for the men, and the greatest care has
been taken that the reporters shouldn't
get hold of the item. Detroit Free

4 Bone for the Baby.

Almost every one who eyer had a
bright dog can tell curious stories
about dog behavior. A gentleman in
Erie, Pa, furnishes the Observer with
this funny anecdote: Mrs. j. has for
some time past been the owner of fine
Esquimaux dog. A few weeks ago Mrs.
j. became the mother CT beautiful
little girl, of whom the dog at first was
very jealous. His better nature, how
ever, soon asserted itself, and he be-
came very fond of the child A few
weeks ago baby was crying loud and
long. Doggie came mp stairs in evident
distress Of spirit, whined in answer to
the child's cry; but, finally, as if sud
den thought had startled him, trotted
down stairs. He presently retired with
bone, well picked, of course, in his
mouth, which, standing on his hind
legs, he gravely presented to the baby.

A. Ohild MurdereSs.

The most diabolical act in the crimi-
nal records of this county was per-
petrated day before yesterday on Maj.
Wooley's plantation, about mile west
of Kingston. A negro girl, Cass Arp,
twelve years of age, stole some pota-
toes. No one save herself was cognizant
of the theft bat little negro boy, aged
two years, a son of Tom Wooley. This
boy told on the girl. The girl after
ward strayed of with the little boy, and
shortly returned alone. The child being
missed for some time, there was some
uneasiness concerning its whereabouts,
and search was made, but nowhere
could it be found. Suspicious were
awakened that the child had been foully
dealt with. Capt. Ben Roper discover
ed some tracks on the river bank. The
tracks indicated that two children had
gone down TO the river, and but one of
them, the larger, had returned. On
comparing the larger track with one
made by the girl, Cass Arp, the two
tracks were identical The girl was ar
rested, and aftervard confessed to
having thrown the child into the Etc.

Surg cal Freezing.

The successful employment of an an
aesthetic which prevents pain without
destroying consciousness, is matter of
interest and importance to medical
people everywhere. DE-. w. b. Rich
ardson, in the London Lancet, de-
scribes two operations of this kind, by
him performed, for removal of cancer
GUS tumors of the breast. both patients
being ladies. A spray of common ether
was directed upon the tumor until
thoroughly chilled. The lighter fluid,
a compound of ether with hydride eff
amyl, specific gravity 700, was then
applied until the whole of the breast was
frozen like SNOWFALL. Instead of
with a scalpel, the incisions and remov-
al were effected by means of small,
strong, sharp and curved scissors. The
operations were successful, the healing
speedy, without discharge or trouble of
any kind.

A Lovers Revenge.

Some i've or six weeks ago a young
man, named Charles Perrin, % years
old, a carpenter by trade, fell in love
with good-loeking girl whose parents
reside on Orchard street Charles had
red hair and freckled face, and al
though the young lady treated him
ceurteously when he called at the
house, she had her mind made up that
she could never wed a red-headed man.
After an acquaintance of three weeks
he asked her to become Mrs. Perrin,
and was greatly taken down when she
told him that she couldn't think of such
thing. Charles then sought to have
the old folks put in good word for
him, but they declined to interfere.
He continued his visits, perhaps hoping
to soften the young girls heart, but
Thursday evening the crisis came. lie
went to the house with bottle of
acid in his pocket, prepared to spoil
her beauty if she did not give him a

walk with him. She refused to go, and
he asked to see her alone. She also re-

just got ready to draw the bottle from
his pocket when something bit him.
He thought it was dog, but it wasn't.
The cork had worked out of the bottle,
and his coat-talls were turning brick
color at the rate of a yard a minute.
The acid wasn't content with
the coat-tails, but struck out
for flesh, and in about a minute the
young man was dancing around the
house as if to escape bullet. Shout
ing and whooping he got out of doors
and threw off most of his clothing and
rolled in the mud, and it was some time
before any one could find out whether
he had snakes in his boots or had sat
down on a brad-awl. He was so badly
burned that two men had TO help him
to his boarding house on Fifth street,
where a physician dressed the burns.
There is good deal Of laughing at his
expense, and if he makes his appear

rested, as he told one of his friends in
advance that he meant the acid for the
girl. Detroit Free Press.

Printers and Preachers.

gone to New Jersey and is to engage in

business outlook being poor there,
thought he would return further East
and assume the clerical robes. 1t may
be that the story is but an idle rumor,
and that George hasn't come to that /;
but if true, it shows that newspaper
