The following paragraph from the Hart
ford Times is lamentably true, not only IN
the East, but in every other section. And
there is no one thing that does the church
more harm, in the estimation OF good men,
than to wink at sin yeneered with money.
The Times says:
a great deal OF the money that goes to sup
port some high-toned churches comes origi-
nally from sharp practice OF one SOFT or an
other. Ii will not do, in such a case rs this,
to mention names, but if propriety permitted,
it would be an easy matter 10 give here a
list of men, prominent in uptown churches,
who pay high pew rents and contribute to
church subscriptions out of the money that
they made by actual frauI-fraud at the Gus
tom house, fraud in Wall street, fraud IN saw
ings banks and insurance companies, fraud
in business, and fraud in scores OF ways not
necessaryto specify. Some of these men are
known 10 have committed fraud and Others
are under such suspicion as nothing but
the clearest evidence could remove, but are
they obliged TO take back seats in the
churches ON this account? Not at ALI. On
the contrary, they occupy the very best
pews, and are frequently more prominent in
church consultations than their brethren
who are neither known TO be dishonest nor
suspected of being So The churches need
money, OF course-Inore, in fact, than they
can get-and some of them not only tolerate
the rich men who make money by means
not strictly honest, but they give them sort
of negative encouragement to go on making
money dishonesty by treating them with
special consideration. This may not be the
ease in DIR. Halls church, but il certainly is
the case in some Others. No one in New
York has ever heard of a rich man being de-
MED church membership because he had
shown more cunning than conscience in
growing rich.

MANSsLL,S ALMANAC.

Rock Island, Illinois, has a formidable
competitor to Prof. Tice-or rather, gen.
tleman in the same line of business who
eclipses lice. Prof Mansill claims to be
the inventor, or discoverer of theory by
which to foretelI the weather, floods,
drou;hs, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
epidemics, and natural commissions of all
kinds. The base of his theory is stated as
follows:
That the planets are governed by a UNI
yERSAL RECIPRoCATING (electricl force, or
currents that undulate between all bodies of
matter, regulating their densities, volumes,
motions and distances from each other; and
that they go through a change of volume,
density and motion at about the times of
their perihelion and aphelion passages-and
through these electric currents the sun and
planets are agitated and convulsed at those
times Earthquakes, tornados, etc., are pro
duced at these peri ods-also at the times of
the occurrence of Interruptions of these cleo
tric currents by planetary conjunctions, etc.
The reciprocation OF electric currents, exist
ing between the earth, sun, planets and
moon, producing earthquakes, volcanic erup-
tions, violent hurricanes, tornados, auroral
displays, etc, was discovered in 1856, and the
first notice Of the discovery was published in
the winter of 1855 8.
Manselrs planetary Almanac" arranged
upon this theory-for sale by the bookshelf
ers-contains large fund of curious and
interesting information. His forecasts for
January, February and March, are as fol-
lows:
January The temperature for the last
twenty days of this month should average
mild over large areas Of country.
Fcbruuy-There will be apt TO occur great
and sudden elevations and depressions of
temperature and severe agitations from the
18th to the 10Th. The temperature will prob
ably average above the mean for the season,
during the first half OF the month, over great
areas Of country.
Mdrch-The temperature for the month over
above the mean for the season. With an ele-
walton of temperature above the mean for the
season, during January and February, March
must necessarily give an earlier spring
than We have had for several years-at least
two TO four weeks earlier.
The predictions for January hit the
weather very closely, and if those for the
rest OF the season come as near to the mark,
We shall conclude that the Mansill theory
is founded upon scientific principles.

sent Tor a man 10 help him clean ont the
well, and the first OF ject brought up
by the grab-hook was the body of Fisher, /
the murderer, There were 10 marks Of vIo- !.
lence upon the body, except one or two
bruises upon the head, evidently received
in falling against the wall OF the well
Nobody supposes that he committed sui
eide. Tor it isnot supposeable that fend WHO
could commit such crime o be had b,en
guilty OF, would have anv qualms OF con-
science. Everybody believes that his death
was the result OF an accident, or one Of those
mysterious dispepsations OF Providence or
fate, administering justice, swift and terri
bic. The theory accepted by the people is
substantially this: The well is about sixty
feet deep, the water is drawn by a rope
with bucket at each end, and running ov-
er pulley above; one Of the buckets had
come off short time before, and the other
was probably standing at the curb empty. 1t
is supposed that when the man came out OF
VIC sitei tSA4Ab-N WI n iis-'- ~
accomplished, he had blood upon his hands
and face. and being anxious TO wash away
the evidences OF his guilt, he ran 10 the
well, and forgetting in his excitement that
the end Of the rope down the well had moth
ing attached to it, he gave the rope a violent
pull, to bring up the bucket, as he supposed,
but there being no bucket there, and the
rope Offering little or no resistance, the ef-
fort which he had put forth caused him to
lose his balance. and the curb being very
low he tumbIed head-foremos; into the well.
Thus the swift vengeance Of outraged justice
made him his own executioner, and hurled
him TO his account with the Likelihood OF
his mutilated victim vet waEm upon his
| hands

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, January 30-Mr. Hayes
introduced bill prohibiting any further
destruction OF legal tender notes, and max
ing such notes Il legal tender for custom
duties. Referred.
The House went into committee on the
whole to consider the bill extending the
time for the withdrawal of distilled spirits
now in bond until July LIST, ISIS
MIR. BUFFERS amendment, providing
that when spirits are Withdrawn from bond
the tax shall be collected at the rate re-
quired by law and the time OF It's entry into
bond, was adopted.
Mr.. Eos ER'S substitute for the origin
al proposition declaring that r, ductisu Of
the tax on whisky was inexpedient, was
adopted by vote of l3i to -.
After discussion the House sustained the
action of the committee in adopting the
substitute by a vote Of yeas lI6, nays H.,
and the bill was changed accordingly.
Adjourned.
WASHINGTON, d. C, January 3l.-The
resolution to investigate the charges of Of
heial misconduct in the United States
Western District Court, of North Carolina,
was referred also the bill reported from
the committee Oh Post-ofiices fixing the pay
Of the higher class of letter carriers in large
cities at 81 900 and OF the lower class at
$500 per annum.
The House then resolved itself into
committee OF the whole upon the military
academy appropriation bill
Mr. DURHAM proceeded to explain the
bill. 1t appropriated So, l53, being less
than that last yerr. The present bill appro-
priated SljOOOO for the pay Of cadets,
which would not in The least lessen the paw
of each cadet, although it was Sl7 900 |, -
than was appropriated last year. The
committee on appropriations had avoided
making any unnecessary appropriations, and
in this, lis first bill, it has endeavored TO
keep down the expenditures for the milf
itary academy to what was actually re
quired for the needs of the institution.
The committee has recommended a section
providing that when once cadet has been
appointed and has matriculated no other
appointment from the same district shall
be made during the term, for which the
said cadet was appointed. If 4 vacancy
should occur therein for any cause other
than death or physical disability, that
would make members more careful as TO
the character Of the young men they select
ed to go there The Secretary Of War and
General Schoheld, principal Of the academy,
approve OF that provision.
After debate, but without action, the COM
mitfee rose.

mittee on elections, reported in the Califor-

TERMS OF PEACE.

The terms Of peace between Russia and
Turkey cannot be hastily arranged. The
Sultan, as the defeated party, had to adj
nit his inability to proceed with the war.
The Gar, as the conqueror, may dictate the
terms. Whatever they may be, Turkey has
to accept them. But victor and vanquish-
ed do not stand alone IN the settlement Of
affairs The other Great Powers of Europe
have right Tor, at any rate, will claim 10
have right to supervise the conditions Of
peace, with due regard, severally andcollec-
lively, to their own interests in particular
and the interests Of Europe in general.
But for this Russia might be able to crush
Turkey, whose geographical position, fortu-
nateiy for herself, makes it important that
she is not treated too harshly.

Ar THE PAINS EXPOSITION.

We learn from the Washington Ua;on
tha, Governor Mccormick, commissioner
general to ;he Paris Exposition. states that
he has got the most laborious OF his work
in connection with the American exhibit
we'll worked up, and is how able TO grasp
he details with confidence and clearness.
Hehas succeeded in disposing of The Ameri-
can space in the exhibition building to the
four hundred applicants for room there, and
has rejected about twenty-five per cent CT
al the applications presented, using his
best discretion as TO the quality and style
of the articles or industries to be exhib-
tied and rejecting the least deserving. He
has his engineer in Paris allotting the
space to the lucky ones, and now feels as
sured that the American exhibit is not GO
ing TO be failure, while sensible that it
viii not be nearly up to the standard it
vou.d have reached, on account of the brief
time between this and the opening. Many
Il The nost prominent representatives of
Auericuu industries have declined to COM
