CHARGED WITH DANCING.
The sinful Performance Of n Good Chur cl

The sinful Performance Of a Good Cnut ch
MOmDer.
The case of II. Donaldson, esq.,, of Oil
city, which was squelchcd for the time by
the Clarion presbytery last May, will be
revived next week before the synod in Erie
Of the Presbyterian church which meets at
Erie on the Goth inst. Mr.. Donaldson was
suspended from the Presbyterian CON-
munion of Emlenton, Pa, last spring for
trying to dance at private party. MIR.
Donaldson was an active member of the
church for several years. While out with
\ sleigIing party in April, though be
didn't understand the art Of dancing, en-
deavo:cd to walk through quadrille,
thinking it to be an innocent amusement.
The elders of the church considered this
grave Offonse. and cited the erring one to
appear before them to answer the charge
of having danced. Mr.. Donaldson ap-
peared and admitted that he had tried to
dance; but his attempt had not been a
graceful success. The session suspended
him until he shonld repent. Donaldson
appealed to the presbytery of Clarion
That court seemed even tirmer against
dancing than the Emlenton session, and
sustained the session by a vote of 90 to 1.
Mr.. Donaldson now goes to synod and will
be defended before that reverend body by
Dr.. D. L. Carnahan, Of Oil City, Rev. T.
S. Loason, Of Brooklyn, and David Law.
son, esq, Of Clarion, Pa, will plead the
cause of tho Presbytery. Much interest is
felt in the case in many localities, not only
among church officers and members who
are anxious to know what will be the final
stand Of the church in regard to this fash
ionable amusement, but also among others
who look on disintercstcdly and watch the
progress Of liberty in ecclesiastical as well
as civil affairs.
A ncighborlood newspaper comments OH
the case in this vein
The case of Mr.. II. Donaldson, which
will be up before the Presbyterian synod
1T Erie, seems to indicate that some of the
rulers ofthe church will not allow church
member to be courteous SO long as the
courtesy has anything to do with dancing.
Our information on the subject is that Mr..
Donaldson, q member of the church at
EmIenton, was at 4 house one evening.
where thcre was i party he being an in-
vIted guest. He was not a dancer, prob
ably did not know how to dance, but dane
ing was the order Of the evening, and one
person was lacking to fill up set in
order that the enjoyment should MOI be
| stopped for want Of ono person MIR. Don
aldson took the place and straddled through
the cotillon as well as he knew how,
with we suppose, no "lascivious y
thoughts, and presumably with nc
particular pleasure to himself, the fact ol
his dancing being merely to accommodate
others, and he was actuated probably by
the same spirit as was the sailor who Went
into the church, under the impres
sion that it was thcater, and heard tho
minister speaking about the sheep and tlt
goats, and who propoanded the question
"Who will be the goat 2" The sailor
answered. Rather than not sec the fun &C
on TN be the goat"

The Land leagues Aim.

Our idea that the ultimate aim of tie
Irish Land League was agrarian has
been confirmed by the direction now
given TO Its members to pay no rents for
the lands they hold which means that
they shall appropriate them as their own
and deny their landlords ownership.
That is doctrine which we said would
not suit the American people, who be
lieye in the right OF property; and it is
not likely that our intelligent Irish fellow
citizens will give of their substance to
encourage their llOw-countrymen at
home to steal. They will approve of
he halt which Archbishop Croke
has called in ihe Land League s
progress, and affirm with him that
the Irish tenantry cannot justly
claim more than that the rental of the
lands they occupy, but do not own, shall
be fairly assessed. This was the origi-
nal programme of the Land League
leaders, as publicly announced, and un-
der it they have gained the sympathy
and material aid lin this country which
is their life. The ultimate purpose, as
now avowed, we do not believe will be
approved 10y the good sense of American
Irisllmen, rs it is not approved by the
strong head of the Archbishop OF
Clshcl. Without American support
and that of the Irish clergy, it
is certain that the League can do moth.
ing from the one source it gets the
money that enables its members to hold
out in their struggle, and from the other
the moral support which is just as neces
sary. The probable result will he the
cessation of agitation until the land
commission is given a Glance to fix fail
rentals and permanent quietude if they
are made what they should be

THE STRIKE OF THE GIRLS.
Refusing to Work Without Their Favorite
Foreman.

Refusing to Work Without Their Favorite
Foreman.
"iIarry or no work ~ was the cry of
400 girls in the stripping room at Loril-
lard's tobacco factory in Jersey City on
Monday, as they left their benches and
their work, and stood dcfiantly before
Foreman Quindlass. It was Mr.. Quind-
lass's first day as one of the foremen in
that room, and he had begun his work
with an energy and severity. according to
the stories Of the girls, which to them
was simply unbcarablc. The girls say
that his first official act was to fine them
forty five pounds of tobacco, which at
p cents pound, the price paid them for
stripping it, would be equivalent to $1.O1.
This penalty was imposed, they say, for no
just cause, but upon the pretext that their
work was not we'll and thoroughly done.
The reports are, however, entirely con-
Trajectory upon this point. In any case
the girls arose in the anger and their
might when they learned that Mr.. Quind-
lass had been sent to take charge over
them in place of their favorite foreman,
Harry Archibald. They declared stoutly
that they would not work unless Harry
was restored to his place, and, with the
cry Harry Or no work ~ they prepared
to desert their benches.
EIr. Hearn, the superintendent, came
upon the scene ut that moment, and the
girls went back to work for the remainder
of the day. At night they left the build
ing in chattering multitude. They re.
turned Tuesday morning. and gathered in
the street about the entrance to the fac
tory. Some few entered the building
The girls range in age from 13 to 35 years,
and some Of the elder ones declared for a
strike unless Archibald was restored. They
sent to the superintendent, Mr.. Hearn de-
claring their purpose. He refused to lis
ten to their terms, and the strike was be-
gun. The youger girls did as they were
told by their elders, and all remained out.
They gathered in groups in Bay and First
streets, opposite the factory, and made
merry.
They returned again early yesterday
morning and lay in wait for Billy Jones,
another foreman in the same room, upon
whose shoulders the girls placed the re-
sponsibility of their savOrite Harry's re-

eve are going to lick him. said one IF
the ringleaders.
However, as Mr.. Jones took good care
not to expose himself to their fury, the
girls contented themselves with-forming
in line and marching around the great
building singing songs. They were mar
shaled by Nellie Sullivan, discharged
employee, who had returned to the scenes

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. q, 1881.
A GrOundless Revolt.

The Erie Herald says that it is all
moOnshine to declare that g as yet not
Democrat has been found in Erie who
will not vote for him (Noble) and hum
dreds of Republicans will" That may
be so, but good way for the Herald to
show the misstatement would be to re-
spond to the invitation of its neighbor,
the Observer, which offers it dollar a
head for all the Democrats in Erie whose
names it will print as declaring that they
will not vote for Noble. And, by the
way, mconshine" is a very expressive
epithet to apply to this strange assault
upon Noble at his home by journal
protesting to be attached to the Demo-
cratic party. We like honest indepen-
dence, and if Mr.. Noble is not fit to be
state treasurer we should applaud
his home paper for being courageous
enough to so declare, though it should thus
assail its party candidate. But obvious
ly it must prove its position to justify
it; and the Herald has so far not shown
good grounds for its rebellion. 1t gives
its opinion very warmly, but does not
sustain itby facts. 1t thus happens that
it has not produced much impression by
its opposition, and cannot gather more
than c0rporal's guard about it to sus-
tain it on its own dunghill. Ifit cannot
persuade the Democrats of Erie, it Ger.
tainly cannot expect bettersuccess among
those of the state. 1t makes a moon
sinners assault, inspired by secret rea-
sons not an attack upon whose inspira.
tion it can throw the sunlight. 1t is very
silly for it to say that Mr.. Noble was
fit to go to the Assembly, and it advo
Gated his election because almost any
man is competent to act rs an assembly
man; - but ''few men can administer thu
vast revenues of 4 state successfully,

remarkable position, seems to conced'
that Mr.. Noble is intelligent and incor

very strange denial, indeed, in view o

that Mr.. Noble has business capacit,

COLD FEET.--It is, as we have often labor
warmth IN clothes. Animal heat is the direct
result of changes going on within the body
of itself. Nutrition by food and the discharge
of energy by exercise are tho efficient cause Of
heat. Clothes " seem good and warm be-
cause they prevent the cold air and objects
with capacity for beat which surround the
body, from attracting the heat generated
within its organism. The clothing is simply
an insuator. 1t follows that it should be
light in weight, and above all things that it
should permit the free and full circulation of
blood through every part Of the systemic
the end of every finger and toe-and that the
muscular apparatus of the extremities should
be in perfect working order. If we will wear
foot-coverings, whether boots or stockings,
which compress the feet and render the sepa-
rate action of each toe impossible, it is simply
absurd to expect to be warm-footed. Heat is
the complement of work and nutrition, and If
part of the ORGANISMS is 50 bohhd that It
cannot work, and its supply Of food is limited,
it must be cold. The resort to stonter ard
heavier clothing under such circumstances is
simply ridiculous. Generally it is the stock
ings that compress the feet. The garter acts
as a ligature, and diminishes the blood
supply, while the stocking itself acts as a
bandage, and impedes the circulation through
the extremi ties.-- London Lancet.
