A Clergyman's Strategy.

The Brooklyn Eagle tells the follow
| ing good story: The. Rev.-S. Miller
Hageman happened to be late yester-j
day morning in making his appearancel
at Apollo Hall, where his, congrega-
ton have stated services, and the rea-
son therefor he explained privately to
one or more of his deacons as narrated
His lodging place was at the VIII
House, which was. Inst week sofa out
and cleared of its occupants, excepting
the dominic. By arrangement hA con,
tinued to occupy his room as OF Old yits
being his intention to stop on with the
incoming proprietor, Mr.. j. n. Tren6r.
A watchman was Mr.. Hageman's only
companion in the house beside New
foundland dog, and, unfortunately for
the dominic, the man left yesterday
without awakening his guest. It was
not until the various church bells
sounded their call about 10 O'Clock that
the senses Of the preacher were.relieved
from the custody of Morpheus, and he
realized the necessity for an instant and
hurried toilet. At breakneck speed, he
descended two steps, and was max
ing for the front door when nabbed
from behind by the mastif on guard.
In attempting to leave by q side door,
the perplexed dominic had no better
success, as the faithful l-tiogwUuf8nuss-
permit it, and vieiouslyr showed his
fangs in close proximity to Mr.. Hage-
mans neither extremities. Strategy was 6
then resorted to, and sort of truce +
patched up between the man and canine,
with the aid OF a handkerchief made
into ball. Tossing the object; across
the floor, the dog was induced to 90
after it, and by that means an oppOr!.
tunity was afforded the imprisoned clcr-
gyman to raise window sash, from
whence the yard was easily accessible. !.
At the second toss~ef- the improvised
ball, Mr.. Hageman vaulted to the VIM
dow sill, and, carefully, though quickly,
lowering the sash, was rid OF his jailefo
and in fair way to make his exit from
the premises 9t'
With the best assumptioniofs graeeat.
his command he scaled the fence, but j.
Mt that time another trouble fnenaced
the anxious pastor. e Al man Of al sus- {,
picious turn of mind, who did not know
the reverend gentleman, yet was aware
the Wall House was. vacant, made it his
business to pry into the why and where
fore, and would not. be satisfied of Mfr. 4
Hageman's identity, though the latter,
produced pocket Bible ii PROOF Of His
character. That being the case, and to 4
convince this s'doubting Thomas, the
gent was invited by MFR. Hageman to
accompany him to the place of worship.
The result was in every way satisfacto-
ry, and an apology rendered the srev=
erend gentleman for the trouble he had
been put to, was the closing feature of
this ludicrous occurrence. i : sfetx -.
Mr.. Hageman appears to enjoy the
joke quite as much as any who have
heard the particulars.

PROF. BALDWIN.
A Few Questions From AN Indignant
SpirituaIist for Him 10 Answer.
To the city Editor of The Herald !:

To the City Editor of The Herald:
see by the accounts in the paper
and glazing posters all over the city
that one Prof. Baldwin Is to appear
here, at Fields Theatre, Monday even
ing for the purpose of exposing spir-
itualism.
Now have a few questions to ask of
him, his managers or agents, concern.
ing his brassy declarations, for | con-
slider them such when he asgerts that
he can prove spiritualism u humbug,
especially the manifestations declared
genuine by Robert Dale Owen, Prof.
Crookes, of London, and other Of our
prOminet scientists.
|. Will he perform the slate writing
the same as DIR. Slade, of New York,
does ? Will he tell us the names of
our dead frieds as Charles Foster, the
noted medium, does?
An interesting separation case is
about to be decided in Paris, the par
ties in the case being M. Ferrand, sub
leader of the orchestra of the Opera
Comique, and his wife, who was a rich
widow. The lady, finding fault with
the way in which the musician locked
up her money, one day broke open her
husbands strong box, and SHIT herself
up In her room with her servant. M.
Ferrand, on returning home and find
ing that he had been robbed, demand
ed an explanation, but his wife refused
to answer, and remained barricaded
in her room. The husband after hav-
ing in vain summoned the garrison to
surrender, invested the place in the
most eiiectual manner, and had the
doorway built up. The next day
sortie was attempted, but without sue
cess. After passing several hours In
great anguish, Nine. Ferrand at last
determined to make known her posi-
ton, and enveloped some sous in
piece of paper upon which she had
written statement of the case. I'M
fortunately this took place on the first
of April, and 1t was some time before
any one ventured to give notice to the
authorities, considering the whole al
fair hoax. At last, however relief
arrived, and now the besieged demands
u separation.
9. Can he materialize human bodies,
faces and hands under the same con-
ditions that are imposed upon Annie
Stewart. of Terre Haute, and Mrs.
Holmes, of Philadelphia Does he
mean to say that they are trckery?
4. Will he allow himself to be hand
cutied by anybody, with their own

To CONE within one vote of success
and still likely to be left out, makes
Democratic politicians feel desperate and
they are hunting up that one vote. At
first they thought they had it in one Of
the New England States where one Of
the Republican electors was . postmaster,
and consequently ineligible, but when
they came TO investigate they found his
resignation had been rendered and &C.
cepted. Next they thought they had it
in Wisconsin, where by . blunder in
printing the electoral ticket they claimed
that only nine out of ten of the Repub-
lican electors were elected, thus letting
in one Democrat; but this also proves to
be Q mistake. II the three doubtful
Southern States be found for Hayes with

THERE is considerable complaint
throughout the State about having
to vote for National, State, County and
Township officers at the same time. It
is claimed that 40 much interest was
taken at some precincts over minor
Offices that important ones we're either
neglected or traded of. The time of
holding township elections was passed
with a view to reduce the lumber and
expense of elections but after giving it
one trial it is doubtful whether or no the
people are satisfied with it.
