A New Kink in Scotch Law.

ON Sunday an extraordinary scene
took place in Irvine Parish Church.
During the singing of a hymn, previous
to the commencement of the sermon, an
elderly man of singular appearance en-
tered the church and attracted general
notice by his strange demeanor. Clutch
ing by the middle an old umbrella, he
walked with determined aspect up
the area of the church. claiming audi
bly, that he intended to occupy the min
ister's seat. This pew, which is stu
ated we'll to the front in the area of the
church, was completely filed, but new
ertheless he crushed himself into it,
compelling one of the occupants to seek
another seat. Having hustled himself
into this position, he waited patiently
until the conclusion of the hymn, but
no sooner had the minister risen to an
nounce his text than the man arose and.
taking from his pocket paper, he adj
dressed the minister by name and COM
menced to read long statement pur-
porting to be an interdict fOrbidding
certain lawyers and others in Irvine
from proceeding with the sale of GER
tain property. The document occupied
about five minutes in reading, and mi
nutely described the situation of the
property down to the square yards it
measured; but as he apparently did not
consider the statement sufficiently ex-
planatory, he took an extremely long
handkerchief from his pocket and be-
gan a practical demonstration of the
measurement. When the man had fin
ished, the minister quietly asked some
of the ofiice-bearers to remove him,
which was accordingly done without
any disturbance taking place. He stated
that what he had done was in pursuance
of an old ecclesiastic law, emitting peo-
pie to claim publicly in church any
property of which they were threatened
to be dispossessed by legal action. The
police afterward conveyed him home. =

Women as Methodist Preachers.

Some time ago the leaders and stew
ards of Hamline Methodist Episcopal
Church (the Rev. w. /. McKenny, pas
tory recommended Mrs. Clara Roach
for license to preach, she having been
an exhorter for some time. At recent
meeting of the Quarterly Conference Of
the Church this recommendation was
brought forward, and the Presiding FL
der, the Rev. B. Peyton Brown. declined
to entertain the recommendation on the
ground that there is no law of the
Church justifying the license of women
to preach. An appeal was made by
Mrs. ROach's friends, and the question
will now goto that Bishop who may be
assigned to hold the next session of the
Baltimore Conference. Mrs. Roach
formerly Miss CUTTER has been prom
inent in church work and has held an
exhortef 3 license for about two year,
and hassbeek successful, especially 1t 8
meeting she held some time since in
Delaware. The final decision. ot,this
question is looked for with interest,"

A Handsome Pulpit.

A BRASS pulpit has recently been
completed in Philadelphia for ST.
Johns Protestant Episcopal Church,
Troy, N. Y. It will be erected as q
memorial by William Stone Smith, q
very wealthy gentleman of that city,
to his deceased wife. The pulpit is
about seven feet high by three feet
square, and is made entirely of
polished brass. except the floor, treads
and handrail, which are of solid ma
hOgany. The ornamentation consists
of rosettes, intersected with twisted
rods, after the style of 1850. The
eight posts or columns are intersected
at given spaces with square grooved
blocks, and the balusters are round
and twisted in the center. There is q
scallOped apron below the floor, hand
somely ornamented, which greatly adds
to the appearance of the pulpit. The
whole is heavily braced and counter
braced. and is exceedingly strong and
massive, though it has light and
graceful appearance. The reading
desk Is of brass, and will be covered
inside with scarlet velvet. There are
four small gas-jets, and the light will
be hidden by nickel-plated reflector
from the audience and the speaker.
This is not the least ingenious part Of
this beautiful piece Of art. It is In
scribed in old English letters, cathedral
style, in colors: sIn Memoriam. Fam
ME Burdett Smith. From Faith unto
Fruition. March 2, 1880" The cost
of the memorial to Mr.. Smith, which
includes handsome marble steps, al
coves, ETC., will be ten thousand dol
lars.--M =. Tribune.

Marriage Fees In Russia.

If we may Judge from an anecdote in
the Sn,olensker Bote, there are parts OF
the Russian Empire in which it is no
easy matter to get married, owing to
the autocratic wiIfullness of the Russian
clergy. A schoolmaster in the district
of lucknow was engaged to wed the
daughter of . landowner in the neigh
bor6ood. whose wealth was not at all
proportionate to his acres. The BRIDE
groom, bride and the parents of the lat
ter called on the priest of the lady's
village, in order to settle the amount
of the wedding fee. The clergyman
fixed it at twenty-five roubles. Unhap-
PLY, the brides father was determined
to make a show more in accordance
with his ancestral dignity than with his
impoverished condition, and invited all
his kinsfolk and acquaintance from far
and near to attend the ceremony. The
result was that the procession to the
church included no fewer than eleven
carriages, all full of wedding guests.
When the priest saw this magnificent
preparation, he hurried to the BRIDE
groom, and informed him that the fee
for q marriage of such pretenti0ns
would not be twenty-five but one hum
dred roubles. When the man pleaded
his poverty as a schoolmaster, the pas
tor replied by pointing to the signs of
of his father-in-law's wealth. The we'd
ding party held consultation, and, in
dignant at the priests conduct, re-
solved that the whole procession
should drive off to the next village.
The priest outwitted them, however;
his messenger arrived at his brother
cleric's door long before the numbering
coaches, so that when they reached the
church, and asked the price of the
sacerdotal function, the parish priest
was ready with the reply, Zone hum
dred roubles." The procession started
again for further village, but the
messenger had been there before them;
the priest of the place could not marry
them for less than one hundred roubles.
They experienced a similar discomfit-
ure. according to the reports, at no
less than four village churches, and it
was only after long drive across the
country that they succeeded in finding
''little father,'' who readily consent
ed to bestow the sacramental benediction
of matrimony for the fee which the
lady's own pastor had originally asked.

from pic mic near Lowell, Mass, on the
evening of the 18th, by secreting themselves
on the top Of a passenger coach OF the Lowell
and Lawrence Railroad. The train passed
under low stone bridge, three miles from
Lowell, which swept them from the car. All
the bodies were horribly mangled
when found, and it is supposed that death
was instantaneous, except in the case OF
Shinnick, who fell upon the car platform
and lived about twenty minutes. The space
between the top of the car and the bridge is
twenty-five inches, and it is therefore con-
jectured that all of the lads were sitting up
right when struck, unconscious of their dam
