The Rev. DR.. Leonard Bacon protests
against the refusal on the part of any
church OIL minister to be represented in the
Plymouth Church Council. Though the
number of churches ana individual minis
tiers invited seems to him to have been de-
termined by the consideration that in the
multitude of counsellorS there is safctv.''
he thinks that the selection has been made
with 4 commendablc intention not 70 have

made thoroughly partisan by the rejection
OF the invitation to attend by those who

A Centenary History.

Messrs. 4. S. Barnes & Co., the well
known book publishers of New York,
announce the publication Of Centenary
History, under the title of A Hundred
Years of American Independence" They
have aimed at giving 4 connected history
of the country, thoroughly prepared from
the latest and most reliable authorities,
and one which every statement made can
be relied on as historically correct. There
is to be a centennial calendar of all the
marked events Of the Revolution and n
chapter on the manners and customs Of
Ante Revolutionary times, which the pub
fishers claim is the only thing of the kind
in print.
The progress of the country is traced
from its settlement down to the present
time, giving special prominence to the
Revolutionary period. The dark side of
the war for Independece, usually passed
over with slight, if any ,attention,is clearly
and wildly delineated. The development
of the political parties, their rise and fall
and the votes in each presidential cam
paign. are given in full. Great prominence
is also given to the every day life of the
people; giving accounts of great inven-
tions and inventors, authors and their
writings. large undertakings. etc
The book will contain $50 pages, and
the royal octave size is made use of. 1t
will be printed on heavy tinted paper, full
ly illustrated with portraits, views, &C.,
and bound to suit taste and pockets of sub
scribers. The price in cloth, 5000;
sheep. s. 80; half calf or morocco, =. 90
full Turkey morocco $1,000.

Though Mr.. George Jones, the publish
ing partner, has been the manager of the
New York Times since Mr.. Raymond's
death. he has not, until now, owned n
majority interest. His recent purchases
have been at the rate of 81 SOC, 900 for the
whole property. but the real-estate is al
least a half 4 million of this. The paper is
high at 81 100000, as the new paper busi-
ness is now and is likely to be, and with
such competition rs presses upon the
Times from all quarters. But the politi-
cal power of the paper and the popular
fancy for newspaper property both add to
its salable value. There are but two 9th
er owners of the Times now; Mr.. Jen-
nings. the English editor, who had a few
shares, and Mr.. Morgan, a rich and retir.

PROSPERITY OF New YORK HorELs.-
Considering, the dullncss that everybody
has been complaining of since the Wall
street crash of 1873. it is remarkable that
the hotels of New York have prospered
so well. Only 4 few concerns have failed,
and these are all of the second or third
class. The Fifth Avenue, Hoffman,
Metropolitan, Clarendon, Gilsey, St. Mich
olas, and the other first class establish
ments, have, at leastf managed to pay cx-
penses, and probably laid up something
for 4 rainy day besides. The secret Of
their ability to keep things even may lie
in the fact that, while they have kept rates
up to the old figures. except in the case of
regular boarders. for whom most of
them have been obliged to make u reduc-
ton, they have been cutting down ex
perses in every manner possible. Pro-
visions Of all kinds are great.deal lower,
and certainly the wages of employees are
much lower than they were three years
ago. What has been saved in this way is
made an offset against the decline of bust
ness, and thus the accounts are kept pretty
well balanced. One reason for not reduc-
ing rates is an unwillingness to miss the
chances of the centennial year. As
the same sort of chances are not likely to
come along again in the lifetime of the
present hotel managers of Gotham, those
now on the card are to be turned to the
best account.-NeW York Letter.

MrEnEEEE ACpUIrTED.--I.and the
founder of Nincland. has been within 4
week acquitted by Il New Jersc, Jury Of
the murder of Carruth, the abusive editor.
on the ground Of insanity. Carruth wa,
shot about a year ago. and lived till with
in Il few weeks. 1t came out on trial that
Lands and his wife were eccentric. The
dead editor had abused them for wears. and
Lands finally a>sa>Sinatcd him. The in
sanity dodge was remarkably himSv in
this case, but the jury were bound to do
something that would free the man. Their
anxiety to do this grew apparently ont of
the fact that Landis couldn't get any rem
edy against Carruth by law. or stop his
abuse for the future. and that he thought
Carruth's >currilouS attacks bad made
Mrs. Landis crazy.
The New York Trijunc falls into a bit
# moralizing. or demoralzinr. over the
subject, and concludes an article that con
talns more human nature than reverence
for law, as follows
This murder of Carrulh WAS possible.
because the community allowed Carruths
paper to be possible. The people who
sustain wanton. brutal, and perpetual def
amation of private character, buy eagerly
the paper that prints it. and support the
editor who seeks to stab :, man he di>likes
through the quvering form of his half
insane wife. must expect an occasional
hunted victim to take matters in his own
hand. 1t is y relapse into barbarsm, can
not he justified. and cannot be concealed
behind transparent pleas of insanity. But
how much better is that state of society
and of law which seems to leave the man
no other mode of protecting himself and
his family
