In A telegram from Washington pub
lished yesterday about the little dispute
between Gen. Sherman and Represen-
tative Spear, there appeared a very sig
nifcant fact. Gen. Sher man threaten
edto have the garrison of United States
troops at Atlanta, Ga, removed II
Spear insisted upon the passage of the
bill prohibiting military bands from
playing on the Sabbath. Sherman's
threat reached Atlanta. and many citi-
zens Immediately wrote to Spear on the
subject. Did they urge the removal of
the troops because of free institutions
being endangered? Did they wish to
be rid of the hated bayonet rule? Not
much. They protested against the re-
moval of the troops and urged Spear to
forego his bill. This is really the first
expression of opinion on the subject OF
troops in the south we have received
since the days when they were put to
good use.

THERE was al extraordinary scene
in the United states supreme court the
other day which is thus detailed MI.
Sol. Henkle, of the District bar, made
the motion for the admission of ex-Gov.
Joel Parker, of New Jersey, to be adj
mitted to practice before the United
States supreme court, and was followed
by Mrs Belva a. Lockwood, who made
the motion for the admission Of SamSel
r. Low1ey, of Huntsville, Ala. Elk
Governor Parker and Mr.. Lowrey
stepped to the clerks desk and were
both sworn in at the same time, when
it was plain that Mr.. Lowrey was not
only Of African descent, but had not
lost any Of the original color. Since
the day during the war when Senator
Sumner appeared in the court and
made the motion for the admission of
Mr.. John S. Rock, the first colored
member of the bar ever admitted to the
roll of attorneys p%racticing before the
supreme court, there has not been such
a sensation in that solemn chamber as
to-day, when an aspirant for the honor
of the democratic nomination for the
presidency joined hands with his color
ed brother in taking the oath upon the
holy ~evangelists. The fact, too,
that Mr.. Lowrey was youched for by a
woman was also an event in the history
of the court, it being the first motion
of the kind that Mrs. Lockwood has
made since congress passed the act re-
q%uiring the supreme court and court of
claims to recognize her rights to prac-
tice before them.

science and Religion.

The effort to place the friends Of re-
ligion and the friends ofscience at strife
is to be an utter failure, and evidence
is rapidly accruing to show that the
Christian church is prepared to move
forward with the discoveries which
scientific investigation is continually
making. Ignoramuses there are in the
churches, both in the pulpit and in the
pews, and the constitutional bigotry of
some leads them into a mistaken de-
nunciation of the undertakings of in
vestigators who, however prejudiced
they may be against religious truth,
are undoubtedly lovers of true science.
But bigotry and ignorance do not, for
tunately, master the Christian church,
and among the most intelligent and
Jealous Investigators of scientific truth
are found the mightiest defenders of
the Christian faith. The vitality of
Christianity has perhaps its most con-
s%picuous index in the spirit of progress
which has characterized its leaders in
all its history-in the reaching forth of
the hands of the great body of its fol-
lowers to welcome every discovery in
every department of knowledge. No
two truths can ever be a~ntagonistic,
and, assured of the verify of the essen
tials of their faith, Christian people
may well have confidence that every
scientific discovery will in the end do
honor to religion. If the gospel is di-
vine truth at all it will shine with great
est splendor in the greatest possible
light, and the changes in the nones-
sentials of religious belief which scien-
tific revelations may effect will be but
the removal of the roughness and crud-
ity which obscure the brilliancy of the
diamond within.
In fact, we find eminent ministers of
the gospel among the most attentive
listeners to the teachers of science,
Christian scholars among its foremost
Investigators, and Christian institu-
tions of learning not the places where
the development theory is refused a
hearing and treated with derision. The
assertion of a religious contemporary,
evolution Is taught at such institutions,
US Yale and Princeton has drawn forth
statements which prove that Christian
scholars of these and other colleges are
willing to give n verdict according to
the evidence, ven if they are yet fully
convinced hat evolution is the theory
which explains the hammer of the crea-
ton. The lecture of Prof. Gray, of
Harvard university before the theologi-
cal students of Yale, yesterday after
noon, in which he affirmed that a ''be-
lief in the uniformity of nature is in no
way inconsistent with a belief in super
natural interference, and that ''science
in taking away the theory of creation,
leaves only the assurance that the idea
of God in nature may be found wholly
compatible with nature" is u notable
illustration of the cordial welcome
Christianity is prepared to extend to
scientific discoveries. Science can do
nc harm to a true Christianity, and the
greatest triumphs of science are likely
to be to no small extent the result of
the labors of Christian men.-N. Y.

A Child With Feathers.

At last the rara avis has been found:
"The most marvellous phenomenon which
has ever been seen since tho world existed
has been discovered" We quote from the
Vigie de CterJOuTy, which is responsible for
the authenticity of the following details
concerning the living infant wonder at
present domiciled at Cherbourg, but shortly
to be dispatched to Paris in order to be
presented to the French academy of medi.
cine. The phenomenon is a baby, six
months of age, named Augustin Lavir, the
nape Of whose neck has the very singular
gift of producing an uninterrupted success.
sion of feathers. Twenty-three have already
sprouted, reached maturity and fallen off,
to be carefully stored up by the infants
father, q workman, whose fortune may be
considered made if the amazing story
turns out correct. The manner in which
these feathers grow is thus described: A
pimple forms on the nape of the neck,
quite close to the roots of the hair. At the
expiration of certain time the pimpls
blossoms into feather, the child, at the
moment when it appears seeming to exper.
fence a slight uneasiness. The feather,
which is curved aud gilded, attains, when
full grown, from ten TO twelve ceRtimeters
in length. When it falls a few drops of q
whittish color issue from the pimple, which
then heals, leaving no trace of its existence
for while until another appears, inclosing
the germ of another feather. A curious
circumstance, says the Vigic is that the
feather remains six days on the infants
neck when fully grown before falling, and
that its successor takes as many days to
Sprout as tspredeceasors to reach maturity.
The father of the phenomenal child intends
bringing it to Paris within few days in
order to ask science to investigate the
the cause of this freak of nature, which, if
it really exists, is certainly one of the
strangsst heard of recently.

Bennett and Barnum at Newport.

Benefits arrival was the event of last
week, on which he turned over the Casino
to its trustees. The cost of the institution
Is $l3O,OO0, tho greater part of which comes
from Benefits purse. A man, however,
who has an income of $1,000 per week can
stand such trines. Bennett is rather toady.
ing after foreign society and has two of tho
British gentry at his villa. This renders
him liable to criticism. One of Benefits
first feats on reaching Newport was game
of polo, which attracted large and fash
ionable crowd. lie made his appearance
in a stylish fourin-hand turnout, which
he left in the hands of his coachman in
order to take his place on the polo ground.
His party (the blues) won the day, making
five games out of nine.
Among the spectators was P. T. Barnum,
this being his first appearance at the
famous watering place as a mere guest.
His wife's i'll health is q sufficient explana.
ton of this waste of time when he natur.
ally should be out with his caravan and
circus. No doubt:as Barnum saw Bennett
it recalled the oldea time when the Herald
waged such war onEthe great Snowman
The senior Bennett indeed had o bitter
grudge against Barnum, one that lasted foI
years, and the worst point in the case was
that Benefits attacks were Barnum's ben
ehts. The Snowman considered the Herald.
lampoons merely as gratuitous advertising
and he was the only man whom Bennett
could not write down. To make the mat
ter still more aggraVating, after years o
attack Bennett was obliged to reoues
Barnum to sell him the American museum
plot for the new Herald building. Thi
was done through broker, but the fac
was no secret. Barnum, having moved
up town, named price fer the property
| ($45O,0O0) which gave him an enormou
profit. Bennett unwillingly paid it, anC
assailed Barnum more bitterly than ever a
retaliation for inflicting such terms upol
him. Barnum, however, only laughed a
these attacks, and when alluded to then
in conversation he replied, in a gooC
humored tone: "They never hurt me any.
Barnum was the most self.possesSed of o.
our managers and know how to turn every
thing to good account.
