REV. HUHGH MILLER THOMPSON
has resigned the rectorship of Chriss's
(Episoopal Church, New York, and &C.
cepted call to Trinity Church, New
Orleans, because he believed it his
duty, and only for that reason. The
clergy of the Southern Church during
and since the war, have dropped of
until but a. handful remains. DR..
Thompson was urged to make this
change, because the South stands in
need of the presence OF strong men in
the church from the North, to remove
a feeling of strangeness" which has
grown up in the church in the South
since the war, quite at variance with
the doctrines Of brotherly love. An
other point urged. was his great e1-

THE Chicago Tribune Of the 9th

the Chicago Thanksgiving murder:
"The case Of Davis alias Turner, in

in the Criminal Court, upon the ground
of an affidavit by the defendant that be
relies upon the attendance Of wit
ness now absent to prove :hat he was
insane at the time he killed Whyland.
However gauzy this pretext may be
deemed by the impatient community,
it is certain that the course of justice
will be accelerated rather than retarded
by the granting of reasonable applica-
tons for delay, denial of which
would open the way for still greater
delay by means of a Supreme Court
saper.edeas issued on the ground Of
error. The Criminal Court does we'll

A PARIS. correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, in lengthy article
gives the whereabouts of some Of the
prominent characters of Tammany
Ring, and concludes that they are net
enjoying themselves very much with
their easily and questionably acquired
fortunes. Peter 3. Sweeney makes
Paris his winter residence, and in sum-
mer goes to a watering place, or to
Switzerland, but never to the same
place two seasons in succession.
When in Paris he spends most Of his
time at home, and never visits that
part of the city frequented by Ameri-
cans. Connolly, the associate of Tweed
and Sweeney in their great robbery,
leads a sort Of migratory life. Heand
his son are constantly together and
they huctuate between Italy and Swift
zerland, but never stay long in one
place. As soon as Connolly ascertains
that his identity is discovered. he movos
on. He travels in style and shuns So
ciety as much as possible. The cores
pendent says that it is rumored that
Harvey Genet is in America. Tom
Fields is "a Belgium. He does not
stay long in one place, and is equal to
Connolly in his aversion to recognition.
A STATE Convention was held at
Columbus, O., on the 9th inst, to con-

system of tramping had grown to such
an extent as to make it question Of
great Importance to the people. The
general tone of the speeches was that

Joint tenants of an opera box in London.
The occupant of the box opposite was
an elderly gentleman, who used to bore
them exceedingly by staring at them

Time rolled on, and they had long since
forgotten all about their old admlrer,
when one day a gentleman called at

to see his sister. When she entered the

SaratOga's Propriety.

Mr.. Samuel Bowles has been taking
notes at Saratoga, and these are among
the things that particularly impressed
him: While Saratoga does not seem to
be the last station on the straight and
narrow rosd to heaven by any means,
yet for SO large and so miscellaneous a
company there certainly is curious
lack of outward vice. The amount of
wine drank at the hotels is very small !;
at the dinner tables not more than
quarter or a fifth of European table
d'hote. You never see many people in
the bar--ooms while during the fort
night Mr.. Bowles was there he not only
did not see an intoxicated person any
where in the streets, at the hotels, on
the race grounds, at John Morrissey's
pOol-rooms, but not even a man under
the apparent influence of liquor. Nor.
while weak women and silly girls and
vulgar dressing do abound to degree
most discouraging for the future of
American society, is there apparent in
any quarter the slightest wantonness of
behavior on the part of either Sex. He
doesn't forget that John Morrissey is
sort of patron saint in this vicinage
but if his club house was the home of
the Young Mems Christian Association
it could not be more decorous outwardly,
nor more serene and silent within; while
the race grounds, which are under his
supervision, are the perfection of good
order and discipline and good admins
tration generally.

The DANES of Havana.

any other women than negresses are to

ton to youth and beauty would sooner

for their early mass and 80 uncommon is
the sight of decent women unattended
in the streets that foreign ladies unac-
ouainted with the custom, and saunter-
ing from shop to shop, become the
objects of a curiosity not unfrequently
dereneratine into impertinence. The
cause of this is that, besides the priests
and soldiers and sailors, the crowds OF
Spanish immigrants are attracted there
by high wages and do not of course take
their families. Among the upper classes

The Innocent Old Lady.
Detroit Free Press.

She lives down on Baker street, and
she has a daughter about eighteen years
old. The old lady retains all her sim
plicity and innocence, and doesn't go
two cents on style. The other evening
when a "splendid catch" called to es-
cort tho daughter to the opera the
mother wouldn't take the hint to keep
still, and wouldn't help carry out the
daughters idea that they had wealth.
While helping her daughter get ready
she asked:
"Mary, are you going to wear the
shoes with the heel off or the pair with
holes in 'em?
Mary didn't seem to hear, and the
mother inquired
care you going to wear that dollar
gold chain and that washed locket, or
will you wear the diamond father bought
at the hardware store? ?"
Mary winked ut her, and the youpg
man blushed, but the old lady went on !:
care you going to borrow Mrs.
Browns shawl, or will you wear mine p
Mary hustled around the room, and
the mother said
"Be careful of your dress, Mary; you
know it's the only one you've got, and
you can't have another until the mort
gage on this place is lifted"
Mary remarked to her escort that it
promised to be beautiful evening, and
as she buttoned her glove her mother
asked:
"Those are Mrs. Hardy's gloves,
amt they? She's been good neighbor
to us, and don't know how you'd man
age to go anywhere if she didn't live
near u.s."
Mary was hurrying to get out of the
room when the mother raised her voice
once more and asked !:
"Did You run into Mrs. Jewett's and
borrow her bracelet and fan =? Yes, I
see you did. Well, now, you look real
stylish, and hope you will have good
time
Mary sits by her window in the pale
moonlight and signs for the splendid
young man TO come and beau her around
some more, but he hasn't been seen up
that way since that night. The old
lady, too, says that he seemed like
nice young man, and she hopes that he
hasn't been killed by the street cars.

What is the aim of nine out OF ten OF
the young ladies who have sultors visit
ing them? Do they have any? Ger,
tainly, most of them do, only to forget
it. A little presence of mind Oh these
occasions would save future unhappl-
ness. The young gentleman, in many
instances, is agreeable, gay, and han l.
some; and this dazzles the eyes so
utterly, that the young lady refuses to
look further. She should satisfy her
self on such points as these Will
