don't know why the rltUalistic business should
suggest Ward Beecner. but it certainly does.
Perhaps 1t Is because they both suggest q con-
dition OF revolt. The RtuaIlsts arc in revolt
against the pure decencies OF Protestant wor-
Ship the clique with wbicd Ward Beecher has
allied himself are in revolt against the pure de-
cencles OF social life. don't say that the pastor
OF Plymouth cnurcn Is guilty oil all That mas been
alleged against him; it Is pretty obvious that to a
great cx ,ent he has been suffering under the I'M
lust aspersOns or unscrupulOus enemies. But
enough uas come to lighJ-cnOugh has been con-
ceded by the man hlmself-to prove that his con-
nectlon with Mrs. Tllton and the rest was not
according to tho prophecies. The doctrine OF
free love has made great way IN America under
the auspices of the woman Woodruff. The
luton Clique were and strongly infected
by IL; and Ward BeeCher has fallen victim TO Its
wilcs lie admits on mis- own part an amount OF
kissing ana embracing which ne possibly may re.
gard as Plarontc, or even Christian, but winch TO
ordinary humdrum people sounds decidedly 0Utye.
In fdct regard tne matter az enieDty as you can,
YOU cannot acqult Ward Beecner OF c0nGuct I'M
worthy OF a clerg Yman and fear that not even
a Congratulatory telegram rom the CITY Temple
will nave tno effect OF rehdbiitating his very
shattered Tcputau IA.

THE EARTH'S DISTANCE FROM THE
sun.

G. B. Airy, the Astronomer Royal,
has received from the French observers
Of the transit of Venus the first results
Of their calculation Of the angle Of
parallax, making it 1879 seconds.
This corresponds to a solar distance Of
100000 miles IN round numbers.
No particular dependence can beplaced
on this result (which is also carried
only to three decimal places; the OBJ.
ject Of so many posts of obervatiOn Of
the transit being to select the best cor
responding of independent observa-
lions, the variance Of which, it is hoped,
will be on this occasion very slight.
The calculations of Encke, based on
the transit of 1869, made the earth s
solar distance 95,360,0O0 miles, the
parallactic angle being S.577, ll6 sec
onds. That was the accepted distance
in the text books Of fifteen years ago.
Astronomers got to be dissatisfied with
1t, and with the help of later observa-
tons cut it down to 100000, against
which there has been within the last
two years some rebellion as yet too
high a figure. One Of the immediate
effects that a discovered inaccuracy of
a million miles or so would have upon
the general public would be some little
upsetting of other solar distances in
this particular planetary system, with
triiing alterations among the distances
of the fixed stars.

WAS THE BABY MIsINFOKnED2

What time is it," asked the mother.
'Half-past one" said the baby. There
was great astenishment in the house
hold when the infant spoke up so
promptly in answer to a demand for
the time of day, for he was only two
days old It was an humble resi-
den:e on Lafayette street, IN Detroit.
The family gathered around, and the
baby proceeded 70 speak further. He
said that in two years a great religious
war would come, between the Catho-
lies and the Protestants, and that
the Catholics would be victorious,
wiping their enemies from the face
Of the earth, and avenging the wrongs
of centuries. Then the baby stopped.
The inspiration ceased. His infantile
features lost their seraplic expression,
and he was 'only a baby after that. In
q few hours he was dead. There was
great excitement in the neighborhOod
Of Lafayette street, and much talk was
INDUCED in over the infants miracu.
lous speech and the bloody prophecy
which it contained. There is no doubt
ing the story, because It was told to a
Detroit newspaper reporter by a man
who was sober, and the man who told
him had a good reputation for truth
and veracity. We can only hope that
the baby himself was misinformed.
