PRoF. SWING, of Chicago, remarks that
Il will be a great mistake and great
misfortune il the return OF good times
shall bring back the old fervor for pro-
;perty and and adventures which made
mortgages among the most popular
b things of the day. Mortgages, he
aids, "are Pestilsnce, and debts are a
regular cholera. Estates die under
them. Churches sicken and have to be
sal up with at night; individuals pine
away, wives and children become us
heartenel in the mortgage season, and
the financial graye-digger is busy both
aay ami night. Swamps and dirty
houses were the black death Of Europe
debts are the plague Of America.

vARoN THE BACHELoRs.

Since France has become Republic
it is developing. democratic notions to
in extent that will put America in the
background. II has Just now taken
hold of the idea that a man who won't
marry and multiply and repleniSh the
earth" ought to be taxed for what he
might and ought TO DO in this direction
In other words, it is an attempt to tax
bachelors Sout OF existence, and make
Mem more thrifty and generally use
fol.
A resolution has lately been intro
dtced and passed in what is termed.
: THE General Council OF the Depart
ment of the Rhone," which re-
cites substantially that mas
niue as "celibacy is contrary 10
nature and the ends Of Providence,
sud as mature celibates are a class OF
men "who fiIl all the States with cor
rupt opinions and evil morals all
bachelous in the department Of the
-RhOne, from the most modest employee
mp to the highest official who belongs,
or has belonged, 10 the army, magis-
tracy, OF any public administration
whatsoever, should be taxed to the
amount oI one-quarter of his pay or pen
sion for the support of abandoned chill
dren, And il is so decreed. Some cav
Tiers, it is said, question the justice OF
condemning the eelibates to support
abandoned children as an unmerited re-
flestion on the order, but the Council
disavow any such intention, and declare,
with good reason, that the children
sh6md be maintained by the baehe-
SIors rather than by men who have
families dependant upon them. The
Paris papers are disposed TO make hight
of the proceedings, charaeterizing the
resolution as ridiculous and eNtraor-
binary. One journal speaks OF 1t as an
absr~<hty. But nevertheless II Is noted
fhat the bachelors of Lyons and other
places in the district are alarmed and
begin to show evidences of matrimonial
desires, and that single ladies OF mature
Yeas are exceedingly well pleased with
the resolution and the consequent ex-
element among single gentlemen.

Sunday in Germany.
A strict observance of Sunday is be-
ing urged in Germany, and is looked
upon with favor even by those who are
not church-goers. tits a social and eco
nomical and not a religious movement,
and the end desired is not Sunday
like that Of England or America, but
one on which there shall be rest and
recreation for all, and particularly for
the artisan and so-called laboring class
es, employers not to be permitted to ex-
act work on that day, except in cases OF
absolute necessity. Sunday in Germa-
nv has not been invested with much Of
sacred character. In the Catholic
parts Of the country all classes go to
church, but they spend the rest OF the
dav i'm dancing, beer drinking and other
vigorous amusements. In the Protest
ant section they do not even gOisto
church. The houses of worship are
lew-often not more than one TO a dozen
villages, and an equally small proper
ton in the cities-and the small number
there are, are Unattended. At the same
time there are fewer ollenses against the
public peace than in church-going Eng
land.
The Sandemanians.
The Sandemanian Church in Dan
bury, CT, was organized in l765 by Mr..
Robert Sandeman, Of Scotland. His
distinguishing tenet was, shat faith is
a mere intellectual belief" his favorite
expression was, "a bare belief of bare
truth" lie maintained that his church
was the only true church, then arisen
from the ruins of Antichrist, his reign
being near a close. They meet on the
Sabbath, and the Thursday afternoon ol
each week, to exhOrt, and To explain the
sacred word Their church is provided
with large circular table which Occu-
pies nearly half the area of the building,
at which the several members seat
themselves, each one provided with a
copy Of the scriptures, and as they indi.
vidually feel disposed, they read and
comment thereon, the females not par
taking therein, being but Indifferent
spectators of the proceedings. They
also add To their former exercises prayer
and singing; and after which they assem-,
bile at one or the other of the brothers
or sisters houses, where they partake OF
feast. There are only about 400 San
demanians in the world, and of these
about 40 in the United States. The
church in Danbury is very small, but
regular services are kept mp.

An Arson Case.

Chief Justice Comegys heard an i'm.
portant hdbeds corpus case in Dover on
Monday last, in which Phoebe Brown
and Margaret Boyer were brought be-
fore him to be relieved of the charge
of incendiarism and attempted al son,
by burning the barn and trying to burn
the house of James Wright in Kenton
on Nov. 25. Attorney General Gray
represented the State and Geo. IL. z.
Fisher, Esq, the prisoners.
The gfound upon which their dis.
charge was asked was the threat OF
Wright to Phoebe Brown, that unless
she did confess he would not let her 60
home but if she did confess she might
take her things and 60. She confessed,
but she afterwards told the same thing
to other persons. The ouly thing that
connects Margaret Boyer with the trans
action was the alleged confession OF
Phoebe Brown. The Chief Justice re-
leased Margaret Boyer, but recommltted
Phoebe Brown, and taxed the cost of the
case on the county.

THOSE WHO PAID THE MUNICIPAL FID"
DLER LAsT NIGHT.
Margaret Dever, white woman whose
familiar features often adorn the dock at
police court, was the first prisoner tried
by his Honor, the Mayor, last night.
The charge was the larceny of piecs of
red wooden flannel, containing twenty
six yards from the store of Mrs. Holt at
100 West Second street.
Frank Holt testified that he was the
son of the lady who Kept the store. Yes
terday afternoon Charles Alexander
called his attention to the fact that a
woman had taken something from the
front of the store and concealed 1t under
her shawl. He followed the woman and
asked her about the theft, to which she
replied that she would give back the
goods If he would allow her to go her
way, She then gave him the goods and
he handed her over to policeman.
Charles Alexander testified that he
saw the prisoner take the flannel, and at
once informed the preceding witness.
The Mayor then held Mrs. Dever for
was led back to her cell she remarked :
"Thank you sir, I'm glad to go over to
see my old friends anyhow it'll save me
a little board anyhow"
The woman has often been tried by the
Mayor and each. time it has been for
shophftlng. She appears ike one who
has seen better days. 1t is generally
thought that she is victim OF klepto-
mania.
A lad named Duff was then tried for
drunkenness and fined as usual.
William Graham, a participant in the
Christmas fight at Lord and Church
streets, was next put IN the dock, strong.
ly insisting that he was innocent and
asking to have the case postponed. The
evidence showed that the trouble began
about young mans hat and finally "the
boys got playful and there was Donny-
brook fair on a small SCALE" One of the
witnesses named Patrick Crumlish testi-
fed that he was used unusually rough
being set upon by a crowd of eight
drunken men, of whom the prisoner was
the most violent.
"Didn't you hit my small brother ??
asked Graham of Crumlish, when he had
conc aded his testimony.
"Maybe 1 did ; l couldn't help hitting
some one when eight were around me
pasting away" was the reply.
A penalty of $40 and costs was imposed
in order that the prisoner could appea
the case, which he said he would do.

Three years ago son of John Shorts,
who lives near Brentord, sent homo from
Virginia deer. Two days after Its ar
rival the animal succeeded in breaking
the rope which confined it and ran
away. Since then it ha. been roaming
through the upper part of Kent county,
and has often afforded exciting sport to
fox hunters. Samuel Johns, . colored
man. living not far from Dover, csueht
the animal by strategy day or two ago,
and pat in pen. Before he got it un-

off. The rope that was around its neck

turn. About half q mile from here my
morse got fOundered in the snow, and 1
ieit him With an honest peasant, and
cheI started to make the rest of my way
on foot; but reckoned wildly. The
drlving storm blinded me, and the piling

ed 10 such work. Ha, ha ha But saw
your light, and l determined to seek
shelter here for the night. By St. Mich
ael, but tais is most severe storm! yet
you are comfortable here"
AYE, father, we try to be comforta-
BILE" said Ruric. "My mother could
nafdiy survive winter in some of the
dwellings which stand hereabouts."
The monk made no answer to this
save sort Of commendatory nod; and
shortly afterwards the youth asked:
"Do you belong here in the city, good
father ?"
"Aye-at present l do" the monk re-
piied. And then. with smile, he add
ed: 81 suppose you would like to know
whom you have thus received? My name
is Naldimir,and my hom1 is wherever
may chance to be on Gods heritage. Al
present am residing here in Moscow.
There-could you ask me to be more
frank?"
Ruric smiled, but he made no direct
reply. He was too deeply interested in
The ia e of the monk to enter with much
eagerness into conversation. AT length
the guest asked if he could be accommo-
dated with some sleeping-place, and be-
ing answered in the affirmative, the youth
lighted another candle and conducted
him to chamber which was located di-
reclly over the kitchen, and which was
very we'll warmed by means of several
iron tubes that connected with the fur
mace below.
"Mother," said Ruric, as soon as he
had returned to the kitchen, "who is that
man?"
GLOW should know ?"
"But have you never seen him be-
fore ?" Ruric asked, IN an earnest, eager
| tone.
81 cannot tell, my son. His face most
surely calls up some strange emotions in
my mind, but think l never saw him
BEFORE"
Sand vet he seems familiar to me,
the son resumed. "Those eyes surely
have seen before, but to save my soul
cannot remember when or where"
And so Rurc pondered and pondered
but to no avail. After he had retired tC
his bed he lay awake and thought OF The
strange face; and all through the NIGH
his dreams were but startling visions ol
