One Of those pathetic uagedie,
that touch the human mind deeper
than the most vivid pictures drawn by
tho pens of skiful novelis;a, has just
eliminated in Ohio. About fifteen
years ago there appeared a Shaker
settlement in that State, u young
mother with M infant daughter in her
arms. The mother had been deserted
by one Of those cold-blooded villains
who throw aside Il womans priceless
love as the playthipg Of day. The
Shakers adopted the mother and child.
The mother and daughter passed an
uneventlul life in their quiet Quaker
home until a few mooths ago, when
the daughter, budding into woman
hood, developed a buoyancy OF spirits
that disturbed the calm Shakers, and
caused a spirit of uneasiness in the
circles. This feeling grew, and the
young Shakeress cvinced determina-
tion to shun the society of the elder
members, and seek the company Of
younger and more agreeable com.
panions. The elders informed the
mother that she must send her daugh
ter into the world. This the mother
refused to do. They were then turn
ed adrift with a few dollars in their
pockets. After yainly looking for
situations where they could live to,
gether, mother and daughter engaged
room in hotel, where they partook
of a deadly drug, and both persisted. -

The trial Of the Rev. John Mil
Ter for heresy by Presbyterian Coun-
Gil at Princeton, N. j., is a matter
that can hardly help having a general
public interest. 1t is not as danger
GUS now to be q hereto as it was three
OF four centuries ago, but the stigma
is nevertheless one which a clergyman
in good and regular standing does not
care to incur if he can honestly help
it, The book which has got the Rev.
John Miller into trouble with his do
nomination bears strong internal evi-
dence of being the honest conviction
conscientious, balanced, intelll-
Gent man. He has made no effort to
break away from the doctrines in
which he was educated and which he
so long trusted, but he found certain
questions forced upon him by Il care
full study of the Bible that he was m-
able 20 answer in the usual way. lie
became convinced that the soul and
body of a man were equally mortai,
and that man was like The beasts that
perish, except that the promise OF God
had been given that the former shou!o
rise again. He also lost his belief in q
trinity, though believing in the divin
ity of Christ. These are truly import
art and serious lapses from the orisi'
nal faith, and, judged by the Presby
rian standard, we hardly see how Mr.
Miller can be regarded other than &
! hereto. 1t would not be consistent
in him TO remain with the denomina
ton, even if he could, for the name O
Presbyterianism implies doctrines thai
he does not hold to. The denonina
iion and the man should dissolve part
uership, for both can do more GOOD b!
themselves.

practical difference in the end, since

The decision of the Supreme
Court that the eight hour law which
was enacted by Congress two Or three
years since is merely direction by
the Government to it's agents, and no.
4 contract with laborers, is a very
great ''set.back" TO the communistic
agitators who have worked so persist
emily for years to encourage idieness
among workingmen. As we under
stand the decision by which the law
is interpreted, the Government allows
the officials who have charge Of Gov
ernment works TO employ men who
have conscientious seruples against do
ing a fair average days work, but 1t
does Iot ALLOW them to be paid for a
full days work unless they have per
formed it. This decision seems to be
perfectly sound, for there is neither
justice nor reason in compelling The

whose necessities oblige them 10 worE;

C. WILEY Wells, the Mississip]

&C. Wiley Wells, the Mississippi
carpet-bag ex,congressman, has been
appointed solicitor of the L. S. Treas
ury, in place of Hon. George f. Tai
bot of Maine, removed. The reason
for the change is that Sherman want
ed an appointee of his own in the Of
flee and took one from Mississippi for
the reason that while she is entitled
to more appointments than Maine in
the Treasury department, she now has
only 16, while Maine has 78, though
only entitled to S2. 1t is said 10 be
the purpose of the department. to cut
down the list of officers from the New
England and middle states and sup
ply their places with men from the
south and west, SO as to conform to
the law OF Congress which requires
appointments in the Treasury depart,
mcnt to be made equally from al
