A shocking scandal has been re-
vealed in the pious little village OF
Oberlu, Ohio, which shows that pu-
ri,anism is not always purify. Ober.
lin is really too coed To live. 1t will
not onlv not tolerate no vice of any
kind. no little weakness of poor hu-
manity, but it is bitterly opposed to
anyspcrson enjoying themselves in any
way. Not long ago ruliau from
some neigbboring town came TO Oher-
lin and opened billiard saloon there.
The pious people of the town were so
shocked at this outrage, this insult to
their piety, and swore that they would
not calmly endure it. After much de-
liberation it was determined to get up
crusade against this sink Of infamy,
similar to The crusade in Ohio
last year against the liquor saloons of
that State. Two women were ac-
cordingly appointed as sentinels at
the door of the billiard room. TO warn
away all those who sought to enter
its sinful interior, and take down the
names of those who persisted in risk
ing their souls by playing billiards.
The watch was continually kept up.
the sen,inels being relieved every few
hours, and finally met with success,
the unfortunate billiard man being ac-
tua!lv frozen out of town.
The same association has recently
begun war on croguet with every
prospect of success. Croquet is de-
basing and sinful game. these dear
religions folks assert, identical with
: billiards and fully as demoralizing.
The man who plays croquet will ulti.
ma,ely take to billiards, and will thus
gradually sink lower and lower until
be reaches the lowest depths of in
fanny.
In this pious little town stands

religious as Oberin itself The stu

the very strictest discipline. Care

Ridicule of Sacred Things

One of the most detestable prac-
tees of the day is that of sneering at
things once est, emed sacred, which
finds constant expression in ordinary
conversation, and TOO often in the pub.
lie journals. There are some human
relations that involve solemn mySter-
les, that ought always 10 be held en-
empt from leviry and ridicule. Reli-
gion, marriage, and the family are some
of them. The first involves interests
that overshadow all othcrS-interests
that are UNNECESSARILY superior TO all
other things in life, and to life Itself
that there is, perhaps, no single hu-
man being living possessed OF earnest
and intelligent religious convictions
who would not die rather than sur
render them. The other relations Of
marriage and the family seem like
parts Of the Otbcr-Solemn parts OF
the greater mystery If there is any
thing sacred under the sun, all these
things are entitled to respect. But all
pant ridicule. From being critical, the
age has become scep'ical 1t has be-
come irrcvercnt. 1t stands in awe OF
nothing; it mocks at all things. Mar
riage is, particularly. a subject of sat-
ire, and when 1t i, unhappy, phases
are brough, before the public by suits
of divorce in the courts. they are
treated with merciless levi,y ahd ridi-
cule. The piliable Weaknesses of hn-
man nature that unfortunate marriages
develop are Knocked at, aud held up to
the popular gaze, as if the ineXpreSsl-
bile misery they involve were lii sub
iect of sport, instead of being causes
for sympathy and grief. A "rich di-

The Washington Capital advocates
Court costume for those who dance
attendance at the White House, aud
saws: "IIowerer, Court costume
ought to be suggestive. There is
nothing peculiarly American in gold
lace and grape-vines, and what is
more gorgeous than the full rig of an
Indian Chief! The gentlitv could
appear at Court in red aud blue and
white blankets only. To avoid ex-
posure and the danger of coughs,
colds, catarrhs and consumptions, q
reasonable amount of underwear
might be allowed
TO the nobility the full war rig Of
the Indian Chief should be reserved.
AS we have enough stolen from the
red meh every year to furnish Court,
the cost ought not to be great.
Some families of course could ap-
pear in their own costumes. Senator
Blaine, and that sweet.tempercd lady,
Gail Hamilton. could appear in the
bloody shirt turned up with wool

both men of letters, the dress might
be ornamented with old postage
stamps. That, as the girls say, would

The aristocracy of Pennsylvania
might come in the Highland dress o

without breeches. it would be all th'

are unmis,akabiv Jewish, but their
language is not Hebrew, nor anything
