"very Much of An ASS"
New York Sun,

Mr.. Beecher is said to have made
a remark to Brother Sherman, as
to his having been not very bad,
but very much of an ass in this
adultery matter. He is reported to
have further remarked to some one
who gently rebuked him for con.
sulting with his lawyers on Sunday,
that it was lawful for a man to get
his ass out of the pit on the Sab
bath. We do not believe, however,
that any donkey could have been SO
stupid as Mr.. Beecher wishes us to
believe him. Taking asinity in its
ordinarily received sense, it will
strike some people that the ass may
be, not Mr.. Beecher, but the man
who swallows such q tale. Some
people find it harder to do that than
it would be to eat thistles, as the
actual donkey does. .sa. ...

WE are delighted to observe

We are delighted to observe the
unanimity among the papers on the
subject of the quality Of men to be
elected to the constitutional con,
vention. Every paper which has
spoken on the subject demands that
the best men be detailed for that
service, and it seems that the gen
eral idea is to give the politicians
the go-by in the matter. We think
due care ought to be exercised that
no one profession or business be
allowed to preponderate in the ranks
of the delegates. The propriety Of
this suggestion will be apparent tc

Hair whitencd In % Night.

Tho Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle OF
recent date says: Father Leck-
ner visited Ike Hooper, the con.
dcmned murderer, early yesterday
morning, and informed him Of the
refusal of Governor Smith to grant
executive clemency. Hooper was
at first much agitated, and trembled
like leaf shaken by the wind, but
soon became more composed, and
duing the day seemed to have be-
come more reconcilcd to his fate.
A remarkable fact in connection
with the case is an exempifcation
Of the oit-told story that mems hair
some times turns white in q single
night. When Hooper was sentenced
by Judge Pottle, last month, his hair
was perfectly black. The morning
after the sentence was imposed, Mr.
Bridges, keeper of the Jail, noticed,
on entering the condemned mans
cell, that a portion of his head was
perfectly white. He Immediately
asked him where he obtained -four
TO put on his head. Hooper was
surprised and said he knew nothing
about it, Mr.. Bridges then went
up to him and discovered that q
large part of his hair Immediately
on the crown of tho head had actu-
ally changed from q deep black to
snowy white during the night.
The agony of n few hours had done
what years generally accomplish"

Swearing at the BEGINNING of the
Revolution

heNOIutIon.
AT least two men swore at the be.
ginning of tho revolution. One Of
these was Captain Brown, who said
when his comrade, Captain Davis,
was killed at Concord by the British
cd d-n them, they are firing
balls. Fire l-men, fire r The other
was General Putnam, who led the
Connecticut troops at Bunker Hill
and INDUCED in SO much profanity
when the old Continentals retreated
under the fire of the enemy's artil.
lery at the end of the fight, that he
apologized to his church at the end
of the war, on the ground that ait
was almost enough to make an argel
swear to see the towards refuse to
secure a victory SO nearly won.
He did the brave men injustice, but
the recording angel, we have no
doubt, blotted out bis oaths with a
flood of tears, as it did in the case
of Uncle Toby. These two instances
are the only ones known Of profan-
ity in the early days of the revolu-
ton. As the war progressed, pro-
family became more frequent, as
with General Ethan Allen, when he
summoned the astounded British
general 10 surrender it the name Of
Almighty God and the continental
congress.

Using the Same Towel.

Health follows neatness, and dis.
ease the departure from il. The use
of the same towel by many, COM
mon in a public place, though more
allowable than the use of the same
toothbrush, is nevertheless not
much healthier practice. A prom
inent occulist says that the conta-
gious Egyptian or granular infam-
alton of the eyes is spreading rapidly
through the country, and adds: 81
have in many, and | may say in the
majority of cases, been able to trace
the disease to the use of the SO, called
rolling towels. Such towels are
generally found in our country
hotels, and the sleeping apartments
of the working classes, and, being
thus used by every one, are made
the carriers Of the most dangerous,
and, as regards its symptoms, most
troublesome diseases of the eye. l
therefore would strongly recon-
mend that the use of the rolling
towel be abolished, for thereby we
will discard one of the great instru-
ments for the spread of such dan
gerous disease of the eye, by which
thousands of working mon are annu
ally deprived Of their means of sup
port"

A PILGRIMAGE of English Baptists

A PILGRIMAGE of English Baptists
has recently been made to Rome,
Hitherto Baptists and Unitarians
have been specially singled out
among Protestant heretics by the
Catholics at Rome as unworthy of
visiting the Catacombs. But this
has been broken through, and, on
the occasion referred to, the Bap
fists were allowed to view with be.
coming awe the reputed tombs OF
the apostles, Peter and Paul. The
guardian, however, before according
his gracious permission, had applied
to his superiors to leaven this mass
of heterodoxy by sending number
of the faithful to enter at the same
time as the strangers.

YOUNG AMERICA is rampant in
New York. Samuel Sprott boxed
the ears of his son, Thomas, aged
nine years, a week or two ago. The
youngster is said to have deserved
punishment, as he had been disobe-
dent. He did not think so, how
ever, but marched off to a police
Justice and entered a complaint of
brutal treatment against his father
A warrant was issued, Sprott, sr.,
was arrested, and confessed to strik-
ing his son with his open hand
not his fst-and added that the
blow was not a hard one. He was
sentenced to the city prison for FIVE
days. Unless the circumstances are
very different from the above state
ment, which we gather from the
New York Star, Judge Yandeli
must rank among the most remark
able expounders of the law Of any
age. The ear is not the safest place
for a blow, yet no injury seems to
have been alleged. If this decision
holds, the position of father is very
dangerous one.

The Pulpit Yell.
THE Evangelist

hc
The habit of shouting so loud as
to offend the ear is perhaps equally
Objectionable, while sudden tran
sition from one extreme to the other
is sufficiently artificial to compre,
bend the evils of both. But there
is another ard growing fashion,
so vicious, so offensive to good
taste, 80 destructive to spiritual
emotions, and so repellant to serious
contemplation, that public speaker
has only to hear himself as others
hear him, to feel conscience-smitten
for disturbing public worship. 1t
is the abrupt transition from low to
high-not mere hallooing-that ex-
preston is quite to tame, but an in
Simultaneous, startling yell, which
would drown the sound of a savage
warwhoOp. Let no one think this
is q caricature of what is sometimes
witnessed in public speakers. 1t
would be difficult to select language
strong enough to make the descrip-
ton byperbolical. If there be any
who, not having witnessed an in
stance of this miscalled oratory, are
unable to recognize this photograph,
let him imagine himself seated in a
house of worship in devout frame
of mind, listening with absorbed
attention to an instructive discourse,
in harmony with his serious con-
temptations, delivered in tone of
voice adapted to the sentiment and
to the awakened feelings of the con-
gregation, when, instantly, as with
an electric shock, the speaker sud-
denly utters yell that falls pain
fully on the dullest car. The rupture
of watcrspout would not more
surely discharge its contents than
such an explosion would empty the
mind of all serious thoughts.
