THE ACTOns' CLERaYMAN.-The Rev.
DR.. Houghton has gained the hearty
good. will of actors, first, by his readi-
ness to officiato at the funeral services of
George Holland, after another clergyman
had refused. and afterward by marrying
and burying many Of their number. He
may, without improperly, be called the
chaplain Of the New York theatres, al
though they say he never goes into one.
However, he has now shown that he has
conscientious scruples. He refused to
marry Kate Claxton, the actress, to Mr..
Stevenson, because she was divorced
woman. But he did not send the pair to
any Church "around the corner" for his
nephew and assistant in the pastorate
was willing to officiate, provided the di-
vorce papers we're all right.

FRIGnTFUL SHRINKAGE.-An idea of
the tremendous fall of real estate in New
York is furnished by the following item
from the Tribune:
1.-THE Industrial Exhibition Company
in 1871 purchased lot Of land lying be-
tween Ninety-ninth and One Hundred
and Third streets and Third and Fourth
avenues, for the purpose of establishing
an industrial exhibition. The price paid
was $1,7O0,O00. The scheme was not
successful, and the land, which had been
divided into lots, has been sold under
foreclosure by several insurance compa-
mics holding mortgages upon it. The
sum realized was t400. 900. The former
manager Of the Exhibition Company
states that, soon after the purchase Ut the
property, the company ~ss oe-sed e.

that such drain oa the resources az the
home Government should le sioppeI.
Egen the people id the western port
# the island had lost interest in paitiag
an end To the civil war.
The announcement on the day of the
marriage If Alphonso aud Mercedes that
the war vas at an end took every one by
surprise. Indeed, many persons were in
cre1ulous in regard to the truth of the
statement. Their doubts were only re-
moved by the voluntary surrender of the
insurgent chiefs few days afterward.
The most surprising thing of all was the
mildness of the terms OF peace. Spain
has always had the reputation of being
vain, naughty, vindictive and unrelent-
ing. No one expected to see the recent
rebels so kindly dealt with. But it ap-
pears that complete amnesty is to be &C.
corded to all who took part in the insur-
rection, directly or indirectly. Fugitive
slaves who fled to the camps of the rebels
are granted liberty Property. holders
who aided the rebellion are to enjoy their
old estates. Even the desertcrs from the
national army are to be granted full par
don and returned to their old homes in
Spain. In the matter of magnanimity,
his "most Christian Majesty" has per-
formed an act that does credit to his title.
There would seem to be no further
cause for discussions in Cuba. The is
land is hereafter to send representatives
to the Spanish Cortes, who will have an
equal voice with the representatives of
the home provinces in making laws tor
the kingdom. The local government is
to be placed chiefly in the hands of resi-
dents, and slavery will be gradually
abolished. With these reforms, Cuba
could gain little by being independent.

Cor WHAT He CALLED FoR.-Len
Smiths tavern at Waltham used to be, in
days gone by, a favorite stopping place
for the farmers who from further up the
road we're accustomed toe bring their
truck to Boston for market. Some of
the knowing ones who were a"little near"
would manage to get around just about
the time breakfast or dinner was nearly
over, and calling for "cold bite" would
be seated at the table and for half the
price of dinner would get as square"
a meal as those who came early and paid
full price. One old chap, who had got
his dinners in this manner for several
months, and who WAS never known to
was marked by the jolly landlord for a
victim. Ga . certain day in winter,
when he MAS known to he coming, O
boiled dinner vas prepared and set out

A Great MANS Conscience.

1t was rather mcaty incident from
the life of the Father of His Country
that was related in Que of our local
churches the other Sunday morning
TO enforce one of the preachers points.
1t happened on one occasion during
the first Presidency that an appoint
ment was to be made for which thel e
were two conspicuous candidates.
One of them was long time and in
innate personal friend of President
Washington, the other bitter polit-
ical opponent. Naturally it wss ex-
pected that the President would be
Governed by his personal preference
and appoint the friend. The contrary
proved the case, however, and the op-
ponent was selected. Asked for an
explanation of his unusual course, this
was Washington's reply: "The posi-
tion in question requires for its ad-
ministration great business capacity.
This my friend does not possess. The
other candidate has it. My friend |
welcome to my home, cherish him in
heart; anything that George Wash
ington can do for him will be gladly
done. But this appointment is to be
made by the President of the United
States, and l am bound to disregard
every personal consideration and re-
only my duty to my Office
and the highest good Of the public
service. -[Springfeld MASS. Re-
publican.
