MUEILATED CABBAGES.
aud a $40 Fraoas Resulting Therefl

And SIC Fracas Resulting Therefrom.
The climax of comedy in. one act was
reached in the municipal court on yesterday
afternoon which deserves to be entitled the
"Bloodthirsty bovine, or the mutilated cab
bage patch, . the plot being as follows: A
Sixth ward merchant named Michael Item
relieves the monotony of existence by Gull
tivating Kniokerbocker cabbage patch. AS
the summer waned the cabbage waxed into
large and wholesome heads, and the round
belly of the industrious Item was fain to
shake with Joy as he beheld the spreading
fairness of his cabbage. ~
But alas for the vanity of human expecta-
tons. A drove of irreverent COWS had
gazed longingly upon the patch, and one
night when the gate was down they walked
in and proceeded to demolish that lot of
cabages. On making the discovery the old
mans soul rose to arms and he painted for
revenge like the hind for running water
He laid trap for the horned intruders and
in the silent watches of the night he man
aged to lasso one of the intruders.
The COW belonged to Bridget Drea, and
upon claiming her property the next morn
ing she was told that the COW would be de-
livered upon the payment of $15 damages.
Not caring to pay for what the other COWS
had destroyed she refused, Offering to SUBJ
NIT the matter of damages to a referee.
Mr.. Item wanted his $15 or nothing, and
when Mrs. Drea went for that COW there
straightway arose fight.
The battle was waged with vigor, and
while she claims that she was pitchforked by
Mr.. Item, he asseverates that she spanked
him with shovel. The case was before
Judge Flint yesterday, on counter charges of
assault and battery, and they were each fined
SIS and costs.

converting sinners was secondary consider
alton to him if, indeed, it entered into his
thoughts at all. He crossed the ocean bent
on money-getting, advertised his olownish
tricks by all the means adopted by theatrical
and circus managers, made money, and is
satisfied. He did not make an effort to save
thel lost. That was subservient to the pre-
dominating idea of filling his pockets.
Such men are disgrace to the clerical
profession. They give the public tho i'm
preston that the clergy are actuated by no
higher motives than those that govern the
men of the world. He has sought to make
himself notorious for no other purpose than
to be able to command large salary in the
pulpit and on the lecture platform. The
means he has employed for the purpose are
the most reprehensible- of the char
latan, pure and simple. He breaches be-
cause it pays, not because by that means he
may be enabled to turn some from the evil
of their way into paths that are paths of
righteousness and peace. Such men do
more injury to the cause OF religion than
score of earnest Christians can repair, and
should receive no encouragement from those
who have the welfare of the church at heart

Charitable Work, But Horse That Wa,
Not Up in the Work.

Charitable Work, But a Horse That Was
Not Up in the Work.
This story has moral to it. Yesterday
two young ladies, Miss Birmingham and
Mollie Smith, having drawn their stipend
for September services in the public schools,
felt generously inclined, and started out on
begging tour for the Orphans fair. As
the rarity of charity alas ! is proverbial, the
young ladies knew their days Journey
would be for field, so they set out in
buggy to visit and solicit. In the course
of their Saturday airing, they pulled whoa
at the Capitol. Both jumped out and went
into the building to request the state officers
to come down. A wise procedure on the
part of the ladies, so near election you know,
and one wholly successful, IF. W1ich sif''
occurred out doors. When the young ladies
got out of their buggy, with the intention of
getting into the purses of the peoples
we'll paid servants, they carelessly left their
horse unhitched. When they came out
smilingly, why shouldn't they, for the Of
ficials had electioneered literally, their horse
and buggy attachment was gone. It was
soon found to be case of runaway, and re-
port was made at police headquarters.
About 2:3O o'clock young darkey brought
in the lost property, which he said he'd
caught on Tenth street about 11:30 o'clock.
During the interval he'd "jes bin riding
round" The ladies, however, didn't aban-
don their soliciting, which was continued on
foot.

HE cost of maintaining the public schools
all over the country has nearly doubled
within the past dozen years. The cause of
the increase is the introduction of many
branches of study that in no sense form a
part of the common school system, such as
instruction in German, music, drawing, and
other branches, that are purely ornamental.
The enemies of the common schools will
find their strongest arguments against it in
these extravagances, and unless something
is done to check them the opposition to the
system will continue to increase with time

It will be remembered that Mr.. Sherman
violently opposed the bill for the reason, as

TALMAGE'S RETURN.

Talmage, the great Brooklyn mountebank
preacher, has returned from four months
soiourn in Great Britain. He was, of course
promptly interviewed by reporter on his
arrival at New York, and tho recollections of
his trip have been spread before the public.
He declares that he had a most delightful
time, that he lectured ninety-six times while
there, made great deal of money, the ad-
mission fees to both his lectures and SER
mons bringing in plenty of shekels; that he
mingled freely with the aristocracy and
common people; and that he felt completely
at home. He seems to have pursued the
plan of peddling salvation at SO much a
head practiced at Minnetonka by Deacons
Gilmore, Keith and johnson, but with much
better financial success. One question put
to him by the Herald reporter. together
