A FREAK OF THE TRLreRAPH.-0f all
freaks of the telegraph, the following is
one ofthe most laughable. A young man
when about to start for his new parish,
was unexpectedly detained by the inca
pacity of his Presbytery to or1ain him.
In order to explain his non. arrival at the
appointed time, he sent the following tel
egram to the deacons of the church,
"Presbytery lacked quorum to ordain."
In the course ofits journey the message
got strangely metamorphosed, and it
reached the astonished deacons in this
shape:-"Presbytery tackled worm onto
Adam" The sober church officers were
sorely discomposed and mysti6ed, ,but,af-
ter grave consultation, concluded that it
was the minister's facetious way Of an
nouncing that he had been married, and
accordingly provided lodgings for two in
stead of one.

Naval officer Cornell of New York,
Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee, is not going to accommodate Mr..
Hayes,and the de factO appears disinclin-
ed to suspend him from the naval office,
as Cornel's is sure to be made test case
in the Senate. A prominent Republican
politician, in the New York Sun, says:
"Don't you be too certain that Hayes
will remove Cornell. 1t looks now as if
Ohio would give 10000 Democratic major
ity, and Pennsylvania 10000. Of course,
the Republicans don't stand any chance
of carrying New York. After the party
loses these three States through the weak
ness of the administration, there won't
be any more oficeholders removed for
the present-mark thatl Hayes will dis
cover that he can't run the political ma
chine without'the assistance of the poll
ticians, and he will be glad enough then
to make up with men whom he now
threatens to remove"

A QUESTION TO JOHN SHERMAN

John Sherman declared in his Ohio
speech that it was the policy of Hayes's
Administration to urge Congress to "pass
laws to establish and limit maximum
rates of freight" Consistency requires
that Congress shall establish and limit
the charges for carrying goods and pack
ages by express. There are six great
Companies In this business whose lines
run through all the States and Territories
and extend into Canada. They Consti.
tute National highways of commerce as
much as railroads do. Will the Repub-
lican Communists of Ohio require the
Federal Government to seize the express
lines and transact their businessP On
principles they are bound to do SON.

SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY

Johnson said of Goldsmith's "History
of Animated Nature" that he could make
it as charming as fairy tale; 80 in our
way of estimating things, we should say
of Cuveir's animated Kingdom" that it
was as fascinating as section of Saint
Thomas, and equally full of attractions
to God and disclosures of Him. Com
parative anatomy, as applied to fossils
of the earth's floor from outer fire or
from central heat, from the furrowing
pressure of water, the destructive and re-.
productive action of rivers, the gigantic
sledges of glaciers, and changes of eli
mate depending on astronomical laws
the creation, transmutation, and extinc-
ton ofspecies-all these are more or less
provinces of geology, which give rise to
many interesting and improving theolog-
ical speculations; while in the hot con-
troversy between the opposing geological
doctrines of Catastrophe and Uniformity
both are equally interesting and accept
able to theology, though our bias may
lean more to the former than to the lat
ter theory, even while the balance Of
proof may incline towards the doctrine
of uniformity.
Again, when we come to such sciences
as ethnolgy and glossology, we seem to
see God acting as the trainer and novice
master of his own human family. But
nowhere is God more manifest, nothing
in science, perhaps, is more religious than
the comparison of the two doctrines Of
Gravitation and Polarity. In Gravita-
ton we see nature, at once keeping her
self in motion, at the same tending to re-
pose. 1t is as if the huge ribs and beams
and framework of Omnipotence were be-
ing laid bare before us. 1t is as we saw
it now tremulous and vibrating with the
last touch of the creative hand lifted of
from it. While Polarity, that mysterious
secret, teaching that like repels like, and
unlike attracts unlike, represents to us
Opposite elements rushing together,
opposite motions reducing each other to
rest" Gods huge creation laboring in
every particle, like vessel at sea finding
concord in discord, reaching unity by
opposition, and so-mighty, complex, on
word Understanding into her rest.

Nothing is less sincere than our man
ner Of asking and giving advice He who
asks advice would seem to have a res
pectful Difference for the opinion of his
friend whilst yet he only aims at getting
his own approved OF, and bis friend re-
sponsible for his conduct. On the other
hand he who gives it, repaYs the conf
dence supposed to be placed in him, by a
seemingly disinterested zeal, whilst he

PENDLETON ON WEST.
baltimore Gazette. ]

lballluOTe uhleLVe'I
1t is Mr.. West, however who suffers
most at Mr.. Pendleton's hands, and the
old campaigner, meeting him with his
own weapons, literally doubles him up
into bundle of absurd contradictions.
When he branches out into his own
views he becomes eloquent, Such sen~
tences as these have the ring of true
craftsmanship. Labor should be free,
untrammeled, left to itself. Its con-
tracts should be speedily enforced. Its
injuries should be speedily redrcssed.'
1t is we'll that workingmen should heed
the admonition which Mr.. Pendleton
presses upon them. That if the Gov
ernment should undertake to establish
a partnership between labor and capiN
tai, it is capital which will inevitably
make and interpret the laws, select the
arbitrators and enforce their award.
We could wish from the bottom of our
heart that every workingman realized as
clearly as this far-seeing sage that "if
any interest should dread 'entangling
alliances, and demand fair field, it is
labor" We venture to say that this
speech will do much toward convinc-
ing the people of Ohio of the hollow
ness as we'll as the absurdity of the Re-
publican platform.
