Wars Of Humming Birds.

Whenever 1t happens that two of

WHATEVER degree of success
Henry Ward Bsecher may or may
not have achieved in interpreting
Boccaclo's Decameron, as in the
Mrs. Tilton and other episodes, he
has unquestionably scored a signal
reputation in the line of a eensa.
tioual innovator. To the alarm
and CONSERVATION of the orthodox
of all demon nations, within the
past twelvemonth the Plymouth
pastor came out and swore, by tho
blood and body Of Christ, that he
did not believe in hell. He &C.
quilted himself of this somewhat
agnostic achievement in the pulpit
at that, joining to heterodoxy
what would appear to most people
to be fat blasphemy. Lately the
Rev. Henry Ward has tackled the
temperance question, and intimat.
cd that 1t was hard to persuade
him that q man who, at seventy,
could lift o whisky barrel to his
mouth and drink out of the bung-
instances of which he had himself
known-had retrogradsd much or
was in danger of retrograding. He
supplenente these astonishing
statements by the declaration that,
while it might be true that spiritu'
GUS liquors did not create force,
they were remarkably good conser.
vators Of the vital powers, and he
thought that when man had
passed the grand climacteric OF life
he needed q little wine for the
stomach's sake. The educated ag-
nostics and esthetics Of the day are
fond of looking upon Paul as the
only cultured and intelligent man
amongst the Apostles, and of CIV
isg him exceptional recognition,
Ia consequence. Beecher seems to
warm up heartily to Paul's counsel
to Timothy. In addition, he has
ranged himself, between precspt
and practice, in line with the lux.
urious philosophy Of Luther, who,

ious era and the creator Of anoth or,

uttsrances, given the text for 4

James D. Ri!y nus was patient
in a private madlonse. Mrs. Bige.
low, wife of the physician In
charge, took deep interest in his
case. She believed that insanity
could best be cured by moral sua.
sion and generally mild treatment,
and she chose Rhymus as subject
on whom to test her system. He
steadily improved, until at last
sanity was re.establishsd. In the
meantime Mrs. Bigelow had be-
come a widow. She soon afterwald
married Rhymus, and he became a
physician. That was twenty years
ago. DR.. Rhymus made insanity a
specially in his practice, and had
charge excessively of many asy.
lums. He adhered to the theory Of
mild treatment which had proved
efi1cacious in his own case, and for
the purpose Of putting 1t into
thorough practice he leased, a few
weeks ago, the Grand View Hotel,
near Denver, turning 1t into an
Asylum. In order to train his
keepers bp degrees he at first nd.
mittsd only three patients, and
these were supposed to be only
slightly deranged. But he was
mistaken in one of these, and one
morning found himself attacked
by furious madman, who choked
him insensible, and would have
killed him il his wife had not
fought heroically to free him. Dur
ing the commotion caused by the
struggle the two other patients e.
capped, and one Of them drowned
herself. This bad beginning of
the enterprise drove DR.. Rhymus
insane again, and while out Of his
mind he slew his wife.
