DOWN AND OUT!
From the Springfield Republican.


As 1t has been APPARENT for some time
that it must, the Congregational Coun.
Gil at Southampton on Tuesday-called
to investigate the charges of habitual
falsehood and immortality made
against the Rev. E. s. Fitz, pastor of
the local church--decided that the ten
denotes Of his mind are such as to un-
fit him for the Christian ministry, and
recommended that the pastoral rela-
ton be dissolved at the earliest possi-
BILE moment. The tribunal that has
taken this action was one of unusual
character and strength, composed of
Is churches and % delegates. The ex.
animation was the most remarkable
and revolving affair, showing the alb
normal sensual development of this
man. The Testimony, which was de.
tailed and overwhelming, was most of
it unfit for publication, and that in re-
bQttal, under the keen questionings of
the members of the council, who went
into the matter most thoroughly and
intelligently, served but to illuminate
it's blacknessD Fitz carried himself
through the trial with little visible
embarrassment.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

In a recent lecture on the ''Progress
Of Woman" very brief allusion was
made to female in this city who has
mastered the intricacies of patent law,
and is now employed by one of the
largest patent-right firms here to pre-.
pare cases and take dispositions for use
in the courts in such cases. Her name
is Miss Kate Newell, and she may be
found any day in business hours at her
desk in one Of the Park Row offices,
busy as a bee, and as industrious and
intelligent in her chosen profession as
any of the masculine gender. Her
briefs in patent-right cases a:e well
known in Washington, and are esteem.
ed models Of accuracy and neatness.
Her earliest efforts in patent-law bus.
mess came about in a singular way.
She was employed in making mechan.
ical drawing as exhibits in applica-
tions for patents and in interference
cases before the Departments. From
this she became familiar with some of
the legal requirements, and determin.
ed to master the details of the bust.
ness. After two years. hard study she
acquired sufficient knowledge to take
q responsible position in leading Of
fee, and already she has had the sub
stantial work TO do in several famous
cases. Her perseverance shows what
resolute woman can do.

The Impeachment Tortoise Kicks

The Belknap impeachment trial has
not been abandoned AS might be inferred by
those who are accustomed to turn around At
least once each day. The House managers have
made one more move, this time replying to
the replication Of Belknap. The house Of
representatives, in the name Of itself and Of
the people Of the United States, says that the
first replication to the plea of Belknap to the
articles Of impeachment, and that the senate,
as court Of impeachment, has jurisdiction
TO hear, try and determine the same, and
that as Belknap has not answered such ar
ticles Of impeachment or in any manner de-
MED the same, the house of representa-
tives prays judgment therein according to
law.

might take drink, and said they would
not take any cigars from us, but would
be much obliged if we would give them
few. When all was done, they made
the driver unhitch his leaders, and.
mounting them and allowing two of
the older passengers to remain in the
coach, marchedthe rest, with the driver,
off into the brush some distance, and
set us IN a row 'on log. Some were
sure this was to be the end, expecting
each robber to begin shooting at his
end, and pop away until they met in
the middle. As | sat on one end, when
my next neighbor whispered his fears
of this, it would not have increased my
peace of mind if | had believed him.
While one watched, the other secuted
about to see if all was clear, and when,
at length, it got dark enough to suit
them, they bade us good-by, and said
they would like to shake hands with us,
if we had no objection, and so we all
" shook" l told my man hoped it
would be a long time before we met
again, and he laughed, and rode away.
We then returned to the coach, made
our way out OF the bush, and, through
a chilling, biting "nOrther," reached
Austin about o'clock next morning,
without further mishap. One passen-
ger lived there, and went sorrOwfully
home; two had business there; two
were stranded, until they could tele-
graph for money, and myself and an
other borrowed enough to continue our
journey, more than ever convinced that
Texas is lively State.

AnnOyanees Of Rich Men.

Those California gentlemen who were
reported to have become immensely
and suddenly wealthy find the reputa-
ton uncomfortable. Mr.. Mackey, re-
ported to have an income of SlO,O0O,OOO,
received u thousand begging letters in
two months from all quarters of the
world. Girls write for his photograph,
widows claim him as their long lost son,
tramps allege relationship, and clergy
men shower down their cheap benedic-
tiOns and beseech him to come down.
In one week the amounts asked for
amounted to S5,0O0,000, and ran all the
way from 800 to 100000. A Balti
more pauper requests that his particular
$40, 900 be &c sent by express" Young
ladies tease the millionaire for birthday
presents, and old ladies express their
gratitude in advance, and all that that
implies. OF course none of the letters
are answered, but the most striking are
printed in a San Francisco paper that
has an eye to the comic. The world is
full of such social parasites as this re-
veals. Doubtless the daily mails Of
Stewart, Vanderbilt, or AstOr would, if
published, prove the disgrace Of the
race. All men who are at all in the
public eye know the terrible annoyance
which genteel beggars have the power
to inhict. OF course many are honest
and deserving, but the great mass are
worthless parasites--caricatures on hui
man nature, too proud to work and too
lazy to steal. But it is, perhaps, fortu-
nate that great wealth must feel the au-
noyance of importantly, else it might
become unconscious or Indifferent to the
sore struggle for life which makes the
earth a battlefield.

A Duel in Belgium.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph gives the particulars OF
a remarkable duel between two French
noblemen which recently took place on
the Belgian frontier. The quarrel ap-
pears to have originated in a fashiona-
bic drawing-roOm. A Count and
Duke were discussing politics and the
conversation became so hot that the
former lost his temper and so far forgot
himself as to strike his noble opponent
a blow on the face. The latter did not
reply, but sought his friends immedi-
ately afterwards, and swOTe to them
that he would never see his family
again until he had washed out the III
suit with the blood of his adversary.
No time was lost in arranging for the
meeting, which took place next day.
The combat was one of the bitterest
description. Before they had fought
long the Duke was wounded in two
places, in the arm and IN the chest.
With the blood streaming from his hurts
he continued the conflict, though hard
" able to maintain himself erect. When
about to succumb from weakness he
summoned all his strength for u final
attack, and succeeded IN striking his
adversary mortal blow, from the eff
fects of which he instantly fell dead.
The Duke then staggered forwards, and
bending over the dead man stepped his
handkerchief in the blood that had
flown from the fatal wounds. After
rubbing the CORY cloth on his face he
turned to his friends and said, q con-
fide this handkerchief to you, that You
may hand it to the Duchess, my wife.
Tell her to place it among the marriage
gifts of our daughter; it is the dowry
of her father-the purity of his name"
Scarcely had he uttered these words
when he, too, expired, going into eter-
nifty with a smile upon his face, pro-
duced by the sentiment that his honor
had been satisfied.

A First Experience.

Last evening young lady abruptly
turned the corner and very rudely ran
against boy, who was small and
ragged and freckled. Stopping as soon
as she could she turned to him and said:
g. beg your pardon. Indeed, l am very
sorry" The small, ragged, and freck-
led boy looked up in blank amazement
for an instant; then, taking of about
three-fourths of a cap, he bowed very
low, smiled till his face became lost in
the smile, and answered: "YOu can
hev my parding and welcome, miss;
and yer may run agin me and knock me
clean down and | won't say word. "
After the young lady passed on he turn
ed to a comrade and said, half apollo
getically: 81 never had any one ask
my parding, and it kind o. took me off
my feet. Indianapolis Herald.

The Silver Deposits in Texas.

Rich and extensive silver deposits
have been discovered on the right bank
of the Colorado River, which promises
to Texas an experience similar to that
of Nevada and Montana. The veins lie
in an undulating, well-wOoded and wa
tered country, the climate of which IS
described as perfect. More than 1000
600 acres of land have been located this
year, and many shafts have been sunk,
which yield from SIS a ton upward,
and grow richer as they descend. The
Galveston and Austin Railroad has
been surveyed through the region to
strike the projected Southern or Texas
road, and confirmation of the present
promise will lead to the exploration Of
all the great territory between the Col
orado, Peeos, and Rio Grande Rivers

A Little Too NeighbOrly.

When Mr.. Bounderby, of German
town, met our reporter this morning
the conversation began with a remark
about the New Hampshire election, but
Bounderby had grievance, and he
soon began to unburden his soul to the
listener. He said:
"I'm going to move. 1 can't stand
those ThOmpSOns next door to me any
longer. They're the awfulest people to
borrow things that L ever saw.
"Take chairs, for instance. She asks
us to lend her our chairs three times a
day, at every meal; and she borrOws
the rocking-ehair whenever she wants
to put the baby to sleep. A couple of
times she sent over for a sofa, and when
the boy came back with it he said Mrs.
Thompson was mad as thunder, and
kept growing around the house all day
because there were no casters on it.
Last Monday she borrowed our wash
boiler, and we had to put off our wash
ing till Tuesday. She did some pre-
serving in it, and the consequence was
all our clothes were full of preserves.
I've got on an undershirt now that I'm
mighty doubtful if I'll get off, it's stuck
to me so tight. Every now and then
she has company, and then she borrows
our hired girl and all the parlor furni-
ture; and once, because | wouldn't
carry the piano over for her and take
down the chandelier, she told our girl
that there were rumOrs about town that
| was reformed pirate.
"And then, ,on Thursday, Mrs. ThOmp-
son sent that boy over to know if Mrs
Bounderby wouldn't lend her our front
door. She said theirs was being paint
ed, and she was afraid that the baby
would catch cold. When | asked him
what he supposed we were going to do
to keep comfortable without any front
door, he said Mrs. Thompson said she
reckoned we might tack up a bed-quilt
or something.
''But they are the most extraordinary
people! Last Fourth of July, was it?
Yes-last Fourth of July the boy came
over and told Mrs. Bounderby that Mrs.
Thompson would be much obliged if
she'd lend her the twins for few min
utes. Said Mrs. Thompson wanted 'em
to suck off new bottle-top, because it
made her baby sick to taste fresh Indi-
an rubber. Cheeky, wasn't it? But
that's her way. Yes, sir; I'm going to
move. I'd rather live next door to a
lunatic asylum and have the maniacs
pouring red-hot shot over the fence
every hour of the day. 1 would indeed. :"
And Mr.. Bounderby walked away to
look for house. PHILADELPHIA Bulletin.

the moonlight. Fanny shuddered. She
had heard wild stories of that strange
place, stories that chill the blood and
haunt the Imagination. o, why did he
not speak? And with what a horrible
grip he held her handl What could she
say? What ought she to say? Her
face was hot with bushes of shame and
confusion. She trembled from head to
foot. -tt1
And still there continued that fright
full silence, although he had stopped,
still holding her hand. Should she call
for Flo? With what word might she
break the dread stiffness that seemed
creeping through and around her. At
last the spell was over. The man drew
himself up, let her hand fall, and in
strangely troubled voice, said
"Well, what neXtP"
1t was all she needed. One wild,
hurried glance-he had taken off the
brigand hat, and stood revealed in the
clear moonlight-her own father, 1t
was all she needed for cruelest punish
ment. She gave one appalling cry, and
sank to the earth, humiliated, crushed.
Her father-to know of this wild freak
o, if the ground would only open and
cover her from those terrible, searching
eyes!
81 would not have believed this of
you, Fanny. l could not. Do you
know you have been the laughing-stOck
of trio of fools? Through a kind
friend, your brother learned of this ap-
pointment in time to save your reputa-
ton, and | have taken this method to
show you your folly. Is this the way
you repay those to whom you owe
very thing g?-with falsehood, deception,
and blind confidence in any man who
chooses to trifle with youp'
go, mother, motherl'' walled poor
Fanny, sobbing as if her heart would
break, for she was only a child, after
all. .... H
"Be thankful that your mother is
spared the humiliation of knowing that
her child forgets honor and duty in this
clandestine business.
"Fanny, child, l trust this lesson is
enough" he added, in a gentler voice,
for he pitied the suffering girl. She
was his darling. "Come, rise up. Tell
me you will never commit such a folly
again, and will forgive you. 1t shall
never be mentioned. | have seen to it
that the matter shall be kept secret.
My poor child, many good girls repu-
tation has been blighted forever by such
a thoughtless, foolish act as you have
committed tonight
She lifted herself slowly from the
ground, and fell into his arms; but Ian
guage could not express the depth and
thoroughness of her humiliation. To-
gether they went to the place where
she had left Flora, but the girl, proba-
bly, guessing that the sequel was not
what she planned, had gone, leaving
Fanny's hat on the ground.
Flora Peterson remained at the semi
nary only during the term of five weeks,
and never came back to it again. Like
all false friends, she deserted her post
in the hour of trial, and Fanny gladly
spent the time until the vacation with
her grandmother in a neighboring city.
The two girls never met again, and
it is needless to say that the lesson was
one which needed never to be repeated.

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.

TRE walks in the Horticultural
grounds are two miles in extent.
THE estimated total cost of the Exhi-
bition viii be S7,500,000. In order to
realize this sum there must be 81, 900
visitors. daily, each paying fifty cents for
admission.
IT is proposed to have the largest
pyrotechnic display in Philadelphia on
the Fourth of July that was ever seen
in this country. The details are not
completed.
THE Centennial Commission has de-
clined the request of a number of bill
lard associations to cooperate with
them in arranging for an international
billiard tournament.
A PETITION twenty yards in length
and signed by over 2,l00 citizens has
been sent to the Commissioners asking
them not to grant permission to sell in
toxicating drinks on the grounds.
THE Department of Public Order will
comprise a force of 1920 men, who will
be paid S2 a day. About 500 have al
ready been selected. The force will
wear a blue uniform with scarlet trim
mings.
THE managers of the Exhibition have
issued request to the Fish Commits
sioners of the several States to take
such concerted action as will insure a
fine display of fish and the various ap-
pliances for fish culture.
AT meeting of the London School
Board, Sir Charles Reed, Chairman, an
nounced that he would sail, May 6, for
Philadelphia as English representative
in the educational section of the Cen
tennial Exhibition.
THE building of the Kansas, ColOra-
do and the Atchison, Topeka and San
ia Fe Railroad Company, in which will
be represented the principal resources
of the country through which the rail
road passes, will be 135 feet square and

by one competitor from Ning-PO, who
sends also six Chinese workmen to re-
pair damages. The value of the entire
Chinese contributions is estimated at
S160,000.
THE Welsh EisteddfOd to be held in

Georgia, with a cantata. Then comes
General Hawley with his official state
ment and his introduction of the Presi-
dent, who will close the ceremonies
by proclaiming the halls open to the
public.
