At the liberty of conscience festival
arranged by Mr.. w. E. Baker at his
farm in Wellesley, Mass, on Wednesday
there were about one hundred clergy
men Of all denominations and large
number of ladies and laymen. These
guests were driven to the Riverside
Herd Barn." where they lunched amid
the fragrance of the new hay and the
lowing of the cattle ranged on either
host led the way to the bufaloes and
bears, the valley of Fancies, "Folies
and Frivolities, "Smuggler's Cave
and "Stalactite Grotto," the Union
Cha pel," the Monkeys House." and
the "Black and Gold Stable" One OF
the amusements Of the day was the
planting of three pine trees which were
to symbolic Faith, Hope and Charity
Each Of the guests was provided with a
miniature wooden shovel to throw earth
in the holes around the roots of the
trees. At dinner later; the clergymer
made informal speeches, which are sale
to have been marked by charity and hu
manity, and the hearty recognition o
the principle of liberty and conscience
Mr. Baker himself made a small speech
in which he commented upon the new
school Of cookery which he is establish
ing. Each guest, when he departed
carried with him tinny pot of bake
beans, porcineograph of the Unite
States, and a small wooden shovel.

Caught Him at 1t.

A lady, the wife of well-known
merchant, had occasion to ride in the
cara from the Grand Central Depot.
She was timid lady, and had a mortal
dread Of pickpockets. She knew she
would be robbed in riding through the
tunnel. The cars were crowded. There
was but one vacant seat, which must be
shared with a gentleman who wore
duster. A the train entered the tunnel
the woman put guard over her pocket
Oh, horrors! she caught the hand of her
associate, and held on to it, resolved to
bring his iniquity to light On emerg-
ing into the sunshine she found that she
had caught hold of the gentleman's
hand, but it was in his pocket She was
intensely mortified, and made ample
/ apology. The gentleman-who was a
I well known lawyer-llggbed the matter
off, but the woman would not be appeas.

The business OutIO0A-The New
York .'IIerald" on the Situation
Encouraging Prospects Every
where.

SEw YoRK, September 27.-The
Herald editorially discussing business
prospects expresses the beliefthat setting
aside the natural stir and increase in
purchases here and in other large cities,
and putting away all temporary causes,
there is not only in New York but all
over the country a real revival Of trade,
moderate in its proportions, and eau
tious, and promising TO last and to in
crease, and to have its effect upon gener-
al industry. The evidences of the bu-
siness revival attract attention, not only
here but in Boston, Chicago, st. Louis
and all the centers of trade. Both
Southern and Western trade is uncom-
monty brisk, and there can be no doubt
Of the present activity of trade.
The Herald believes that it is not a
spasmodic movement, but that unless
some Unforeseen cause intervenes it will
continue, and that we are, at last, on the
upward way. 1t asserts, as cause Of
the revival, the economy of the people
as a whole since 1873, ana the more
prudent conduct of Federal affairs, ant
says that with continued prudence or
the part Of business men, sonnd anf
staple currency to carry on busines
principles, and a revision of the laws af
fecting commerce and production, tn,
recovery Of prosperity will be lasting.

The Bishop of Durham refused to
preach at the reopening of the restored
Chester (Eng) Cathedral, on which
S400, 900 has lately been expended, be-
cause church funds were used on the

ings and parishes in the diocese. He
says the cathedral was in good condition
before this outlay, that two new church

The London Telegraph illustrated its
familiarity with this country, in a re-

United States "a railway train travels
along the line IN much the same leisure
ly manner ns mail coach proceeds
along an English highroad. The driver
knows perfectly we'll that there Is nc
train likely to meet him or to overtakC
him, and he consequently picks his way
along from station 10 station, taking
about AZ much care TO avoid collision
as the driver of one market cart does tC
avoid another. Between our EnglisI
lines Of railways and those of the Unit

difference there is between hIghroat
in Norfolk or Lincolnshire and Cheap

Tweed.


NEW YoRK, September 27.-A dis
patch from Vigo states that William
NJ Tweed was removed at half past 9
last evening from his fortress prison,
Castillo del Casio, where he had been
confined for twenty one days, to the
United States frigate franklin. Tweed
offered very little objection to his re-
moval' lie was treated with every con
sideration, and the quarters of Rear
Admiral Case were assigned him
Tweed's companion, William Hunt, was
on board the Franklin, bnt was almost
Immediately set at liberty. Hunt, after
hi- release, WAS very reticent, and still
maintains that his friend Secor was not
William VI. Tweed, Hunt, after leaving
Franklin, went Immediately to see an
American friend at the Hotel Europa,
registered there under the name of r
| Sands. Sands is considered to be- Tweed's
son. There was much opposition to the
surrender Of Tweed, and the action o.
the Government was almost universally
condemned. Hunt speaks well of the
treatment he and his companion receiv
ell at the hands Of the Spanish authorit
les. They were not allowed to commun
icate with each other, and were closely
guarded; but otherwise they received
every courtesy and attention.
The hour for the departure of til,
franklin is set for 2 o'clock this after
noon. IL is calculated that the voyag
TO New York will take about thirty days
as whenever possible sails instead q
steam will be used, in consequence q
the Franklin not having capacity to chi
ry coal enough for a long voyage.

were talking, gave the dog kick, and
exclaimed: "Hold your tongue, yon sill
