IN sADyING CONDITION.

A Wife Beaten helpless and the
Basbnna Upheld by . C1sristh~n
Cssamuaits-A Thorough Isyes-
tssssion Asked For. Is
The wife of tho man William Don
nelly who figured in the police record
on Sunday last for insulting the sane
tity Of the Sabbath and sacreiigously
polluting the precincts Of the Delaware
Avenue church bv knocking man
down under the shadow of its very
portals, is in a condition infinitely
worse that was at first supposed. There
are doubts whether she will recover
The full particulars Of the affair did
not crop out at the investigation but
recently there have been other revela
tons which place the man Donnelly in
an unsnviabls light.
Yesterday week was the time Of the
trouble. Upon the evening Of that day
Mrs. Donelly went to church and upon
returning was met by this man, her
husband who oanght her and dragging
her up stairs by the hair Of the head,
began in the most barbarous fashion to
vent his anger. He kicked and stamp
I'd the fallen woman into insensibility
and then when she had tainted deluged
her with q bucket Of water. She was
picked up and put to bed and siuce
that time has been unable to get up.
She is perfectly helpless. The physi.
sician is in constant attendance. The
left lung is so injured that trsm present
prospects the indications are that her
injuries will be fatal. There are four
children in the house Of ages, four,
nine, eleven and thirteen years respsc-
lively. ..
The unfortunate woman, in her agony,
is unable to supply hel own physical
wants and she has to be attended by
the neighbors. The residents Of the
Avenue have interested themselves in
behalf Of the poor woman, and take
turns in supplying her and her children
with the immediate necessities.
The strange side of the unusual oc-
currence is that the mans brutality
should be sanctioned by the congrega-
tion with which he hypocritically OBJ
serves communion. After the assault
was made the members of the Delaware
Avenue Church took the matter in hand
for the purpose of investigating it.
Whether the full facts were brought
before the body We cannot positively
say, but we are informed that they
were. To the surprise of many the
church body by vote declared the man
innocent, thus virtually upholding
brutal acts that were self evident and
condoning and apoloeising for the
very acts from which society demands
protection.
The condition of the lady ia such that
the utmost care is required and efforts
are being made to have her taken to
the hospital where she will be safe from
the maddened and dangerous attack
Of her husband. For the reputation Of
the congregation before whom the man
was tried and by them acquitted it is
necessary that the matter should be
more thoroughly investigated. Society
demand this.

A BIRD OF CUNNING USEs.-There

suppose, for the purpose Of lighting its

worm in the nest by the supposIiion that
the bird places them there for the pur-
pose Of lunchIng upon them at con-
venient opportunity. He. however.
grants to The little teathered "Indian"
various qualities, which are, ifaBything,
more v onderful than the above.

Hindoo women at Benares wear, accord
ing TO Sir William, very ihin plates Of
gold between their eyebrows, and when

THE ENGLISH LAHcUAGE.-Mr. John
Albee lectured in New York on the
English language. The translation Of
the Bible by King James transiatoFs
and the writings olthe Elizabethan dras
matists were most powerful influences.
Mr.. Albce thought, in moulding and
fixing the language. II was fortunate
the Bible had been translated when the
best style OF language--that Orihe great
dramatists-was IN vogue. The trans
lators, too, had been inspired, and in-
spiration found voice, beauty and vigor
in the simplest expressions. The BIZ
Bile, then, had met the necessities OF
those who objected to parts OF the dFa-
ma. "Note the difference" said the
lecturer, in conclusion, between the
unaffected simplicity and power OF the
writings of those times with the obscure,
affected style Of to-day. Now We do
not ask but inquire; a woman IL a fe-
male; father pateTnal relative; we
do not give but donated we never 20,
begin, eat, get, but proceed, commence,
partake, receive; when younger we bad
rooms, but now apartments; then there
were singers. now vocalIsts; and it is
pleasant 90 believe that nO one now
gets drunk but intoxicated. See the
contrast. In the Bible, the most thrill
ing and best written Of all books, nine
ty-six per cent. OF the wo-ds are An
gIo- Saxon; IN Shakespeare, eighty-six
per cent; and in Tennyson's Arthur
1000 Of the $500 words are monosyl-
labics. And so the rank OF all writer's
OF fame unquestioned is graded by the
proper use Of more or less OI the Saxon
language. The union ofpowerfDl thought
and perfect words is like the clearest
water IN the clearest glass; the water
and the glass seem but one substance.
