Formerly, minister was apt to be dam aged by prevalent belief that he was a ssddoer. That time has gone by, it seems:
 Rev. Mfr. Glendenning preached on Sun- day at his Jersey City church, for the first time since his famous trial for improper intimacy with Mary PomeroY, last fall, and had big congregation; his church has paid all his lawyers bills and given him his salary right along.
 One of the worst things about such mat ters as this Glendenning affair is the con- fsssed inadequacy of the law to afford any suitable redress; yet, had a brother of Miss Pomeroy shot Glendenning no iary would have convicted the murderer. Can ws wonder then that the pistol plays e important part in the scandal busi- nessf

Bridgeport is queer place. P. T.Bar- num is its Mayor; life is insecure; liberty, uncertain; and the pursuit of happiness, there, is attended with considerable risk, ve judge from the following recent incl dent:
 Early on Tuesday morning of last week, the Rev. 0. T. Coer. an Episcopal clergy man. formerly of Waterbury. but recently ef c parish in central New York, was rob- bed of his watch and about $l00 in money and pushed of the dock near the bark Bridgeport. He came near drowning, but kept himself above the water by clinging to the piles till his cries attracted police. man- It seems that Mir. Coer had been Co an evening party and got intoxicated for the first time in his. life, he says. His condition was taken advantage of by two scoundrels named Tracy and Donovan who were afterwards arrested and the stolen property found on them. Mir. Coer refus. sd to appear as prosecutor, hoping to es. aape publicity, and the rascals got of with light punishment for the assault This affair shows pretty conclusively the danger of msddling with strong drink eRsn in circumstances where no danger ii ordimarily anticipated.

We received from that place, short time siaos. poem parodying the triple rhyme style of verse.

A SUDDEN DEPARTURE.
Miss nelson's shabby rreatment Of a
New Orleans Manager.

Miss nelson's shabby Treatment OF a
New Orleans Manager.
New Orleans Picayune, Dec 81.
Adelaide Lee Nelson, or Mrs. Lee, as
she would be known if she were not an
actress, has been in our city for some time
awaiting the opening Of an engagement at
the st. Charles Theatre.
This engagement, which was TO COM
mence on the All prox., and to continue
for two weeks, had been regularly entered
into between manager DeBar and Miss
Nelson, through her agent, Mr.. Max
StrakoSch, and every arrangement made by
the manager to render IL a success in every
respect, as it doubtless would have been.
Yesterday gossips were very busy dis
cuSsing Miss Nelson's sudden departure
for New York, she having left on the s
O'Clock train of the New Orleans, Mobile
and Texas Railroad, accompanied by the
gentleman who was to support her IN the
leading roles. Her agent and maid re
manned behind, but win follow her to-day.
The only explanation given by Miss
Nelson for this singular freak is Cleaned
from a note which she LEFT behind, adj
dressed to Manager DeBar, in which she
says that she is too sick to act, and that her
physician had ordered Der 70 take rest
and go to a colder climfse.
She also stated that she wished to 60 to
New York, where she could be under the
care of her own physician. Manager
DeBar finds it difficult to understand how
a { .T days trip in the cars could by any
possibility be construed into a rest-taking.
Any number of rum, rs are ahOat con-
corning the cause Of Miss Nelson's sudden
departure, but it seems to be pretty gener-
ally admitted that the plea Of sickness was
only put forward as a Fuse to enable her TO
escape an engagement that, for some rea-
son not explained, had become distasteful
to her.
Miss Nelson had quarters at the st.
Charles Hotel, and, from all we can gather,
seemed to be quite well up to the time of
her departure; but, Of course, we cannot
pretend to gainsay the certificate Of her
physician without proof more positive than
is at hand.
The breaking of her engagement by Miss
Nelson will, Of course, cause considerable
loss to Manager DeBar, and We shall not be
surprised if this most fascinating Juliet
does not have to pay in the end very dearly
for her indiscretioD.

BITTERNESS IN THE SENATORIAL
Brownsville States.

The Memphis AUal1nche truthfully
saws that the friends of Andrew John
son secured a Democratic victory last
November by their votes and influence.
The friends Of John G. Brown did the
same thing. 1t was a grand struggle
made BY the combined forces Of oppo-
sition to Radicalism Porter and the
other nominees were candidates Of the
johnson element as well as the Brown
element. But we make no war on An
drew johnson. His friends worked
nobIy for the success of the D Democracy
and their claims deserve the highest
consideration. The simple fact, how
ever, that they did not join the Radi-
Gals In November, does not Of
itself strengthen their claims
TO the right of naming the sue
cessor to Brownlow. If Andrew
johnson is better fitted to represent
Tennessee than any other man let him
have the position by all means. If not,
let his friends unite on some good and
true man and permit their favorite to
retire. There has been by far too much
bitterness manifested IN regard to this
contest, and we think 1t ought to be
checked before it grows any stOnger.
The bitterness Is not all on one side.
The fierce attacks made on Johnson by
the press in some portions Of the State
is ill-timed and can only tend to en-
bitter the feeding Of his adherents and
intensity their determination to follow
his fortunes to the bitter end. This
vindictive warfare is unworthy the
party and inconsistent with the teach
ings Of its leaders. We hope it may
cease.
