The police broke up the Jewish ball Of
last sunday night In Jersey City, and arrested
tho ATTENDANTS TWENTY-FIVE OF whom were fined
Ave dollars apiece. Tho incident has caused
some excitement among the jewish residents
OF that locality. They say that they were In
their own establishment, and that It is unfair To
discriminate against them by SURPRISING their
festivities on the Christian Sunday which they
do not recognize, and when they observe their
own Sabbath with the rgor required by the Mo-
sale law. But tho laws OF New Jersey are
against them in this matter. and until these arc
altered, the police are upheld in ENFORCING them
upon all tho Inhabitants Of the State. We are
disposed to think that II this case were carried to
the Supreme Court of the United States and de-
cided according to tho Federal Constitution, the
Jewish portion OF the community would obtain
a moro satisfactory understanding than they
now have Of the restrictions upon their iestiy-
ties on the Christian Sunday

The Rev. HESRY WARD BEECHER will deliver
alecture in Boston on the goth inst Tribune.
The last time DEECHER was In Boston he was
drumming up members for his Advisory Coun-
ell. 1t was then that he introduced tho new
line OF defence, that Mrs. Triton destroyed tho
life Of her unborn child because she didn't like
her husband any longer. BEEcnER's sunerlngs,
from the ragged EDGE to the poison bottle. were
all due TO this, according to his Boston story.
Now, when he delivers his lecture, let him ex-
plain this startling theory OF defence moro at
length aud demonstrate what a manly fellow
he was throughout the whole shameful affair.
This he can do by throwing tho whole blame on
Mrs. TILToN, and declaring that his maenanm-
lty alone is the cause Of his trouble. II Is true
the bottom OF this new defence has been
knocked TO pieces by the publication OF Mrs.
TILTON's own letters, but II DEEChER acts With
bis usual skill and sheds the proper amount Of
tears, he will probably find some people to be-
lievo him or to pretend that they believe him.
III this fails, then be can f0tch out tho very
latest brandt new defence, namely, that Mrs. TIL
TON was crazy, and the whole thing was the n1-
ment OF disordered mind. This has no bottom
to II, since he testified to the clearness, purity,
and soundness Of her mind at the time OF her
confessions, and wrote to her to come to see him
because hts wife was away, asked her to write
MN letter OF trua inwardness, got her TO
retract her written confession to her husband,
and celebrated her virtues and his love for her
ia his letters to MoULTON, and got her TO make
a statement before bis Investigating committee
that she confessed, not from halluclnation, but
through the compulsion Of her husband. 1t Is
rotten and diseraceful defence, but perhaps
he will get some one to believe It. Besides It Ia
In line with his course from the start In throw
ing the blame on the woman; first, that she
thrust her love on him secondly, that she had
an abortion committed on her In order to suite
her husband thirdly, that she was crazy and
lied when she confessed The Boston people
have the reputation Of being intellectually sharp,
but they NAV not see through all this

The only way for an editor 10 get dead
head ticket to the Centennial Exhibition ia for
him TO have his photograph taken, to tie gummcd
on his ticket. This is In order to enable the
doorkeeper TO see that the editor who presents
the ticket Is the one to whom It was given, not
some friend 10 whom he has lent his privilege
Let all the editors Of the country at once rush
to the photographers to get a Or, t-class likeness
taken SO as 10 secure a deadhead season admis-
sion. But there are some editors from whom It Is
entirely Unnecessary 10 require such certificate OF
their personality. Fame has already photo
graphed them on the hearts as well as on the
retuas OF their countrymen. and no one but q
blind doorkeeper could fan to recognize their
intellectual faces as soon as they appeared at
tho gate, soliciting deadhead admission. We
refer particularly to q. WASHINGTON CHuDs

When ANDREW JOHNSON was impeached
for mere political differences between himself
and a majority Of the leaders Of the Republican
party, the most bitter and determined OF all bis
prosecutors BENJAMIs +. BUTLER, then "A
Representative In Congress from Massach usetts.
Mr.. JOHNSON met his accusers face to face,
boldly like a man, stood up to his trial, and was
acquitted and he has since carried with him to
his grave the sincere respect OF the nation.
Gen. BUTLER ives blessed with a beautiful
daughter, the object Of universal admiration.
She married ADELBERT AMEs, a military man,
with n euphonius and allterative name. But
that name, pretty IA It Ia, does not look well at
the end Of document to which 1t has recently
been signed. The document is a letter OF resig-
nation OF the onlce OF Governor OF Mississippi,
addressed TO the people OF that State. 1t was
written by Mr.. AMEs, after impeachment, to
avoid the danger of conviction. 1t Is most
humilating State paper for Governor to sign.
So the poisoned cbalice, intended for JOHNSON,
returns to the BUTLER family, to be drained to
its dregs.

parties are acting in this strange way, the Egyp-
tlan army OF. invasion is about to leave Abyssinia
and content itself with holding some fortified
positions among the mountains OF tho frontier.
1t looks at this distance, after studying the va
rlous reports from Egypt, as though the boastful
Egyptian expedition to Abyssnia had been a
total failure, had been repeatedly beaten in the
field, had been unable to reach the point which
II set out for, and had been compelled to retreat
under circumstances which encouraged the
Abyssinans to demand indemnity.

has established at Cummington, his native place.
The Rrandiloquence OF the legislative orator car
rled him into regions where few men would dare
to soar. His was the great honor to plead for
BRYANT, whose venerable form sinks In silent

And thus, still upward, rose the rhetoric of

not made a profitable study OF either the poetry
