Boston Advertiser: Ex-Governor Ding
ley vas yesterday elected member of Con-
gress for the second Maine district, by
very strong majority. The vote was light,
as was natural, considering that the contest
was purely local, and the canvass very quiet.
1t is reported that the Democratic vote prop
er was not brought out, and that some Of
the members of the party who did go to the
polls voted for Mr.. Dingley. The purpose
of the sell-out last week was not so much to
consolidate the opposition to Mr. Dingley as
it was toconceal the weakness of the Demo-
Gratis. That object has been accomplished,
but nobody is deceived, because nobody
supposed that the Democrats had any
strength TO display. 1t is always open to
the man who quietly submits to whipping,
to maintain that he could have given the
affair different aspect if he had tried.
But to find believers of such an assertion is
not so easy.

Gautier's Cat.

Theophile Gautier who has lately given the
world an account of what he calls his "Private
Menagerie." mentions one of the rare cases in
which pussy was most completely taken aback,
and lost all presence Of mind and self-reliance
at once. The cat was accustomed to live In
perfect intimacy with the writer, sleeping at
his feet on his bed; dreaming on the arm OF
his easy chair while he was writing; following
him in his garden as ne walked up and down
the long avenues; keeping him company at
meals, and as he adds, not unfrequently inter-
cepting the morsel on the road between the
plate and the lips. One fine day friend,
setting out on his travels, left his parrot in his
charge during his absence. The poor bird sat
disconsolate on the top of his stand, while the
cat stared at the strange sight, and tried to
gather up all the strays and waits Of natural
history which she might have picked up on
the roof, or in the yard aud the garden. The
writer followed her thoughts in her large green
eyes, and read there clearly the words, "It
must be green chickenl" Thereupon pussy
jumped down from his writing-table, and as
sumed, in a dark corner, the air of panther
in the jungle, lying in wait for delicate deer:
crouching flat down, the head low, the oack
stretched out at full length, the elbows out,
and The eyes fixed immovably on the bird.
The poor parrot had followed all her move
ments with nervous anxiety; he raised his
feathers, sharpened his bill, stretched out his
claws and evidently prepared for war.
The cat Law still, but the writer read again In
her eyes, "No doubt, though green, the chick
en- must be- good to eat" Suddenly her back
was arched like bow that is drawn, and with
one superb bound she was on the perch. The
parrot, seeing the great danger, lifted up his
sharp eager voice and screamed out, Have
you breakfasted, Jaok?'' The voice fright
ened pussy out of her wits. trumpet
sounded in her ears, pile of crockery break
ing near her, pistol fred close to her head,
could not have frightened her more terribly:
All her ideas were overthrown; her eyes said
clearly, "This is not chicken; this is gem
tleman." And the parrot rang out, louder
than ever:
Quand rai bu du vim clairet,
Tout tourne, tout tourEe au cabaret,
The cat cast an anxious glance at her master,
leaped down in sheer terror, and hid under the
bed from whence no threat and no caress
could bring her out for the day.

IMoIIpuIS AVPc0IsI
q Snake as a. TeethinC-R Ring.


Mr.. Robert James, who arrived in this city
from Chicot county, tells of horrifying incl
dent which, he stated, had just taken place
in that county. A farmer, returning at noon
from the field, discovered his little boy, about
one year old, sitting near the fence with one
end Of what seemed to be leather strap in his
mouth, while with both hands he held the
strap near the middle. Approaching, the
father was Mortified to find that the child held
a snake and the snake squirmed, but the little
fellow pulled and closed his mouth as tightly
as if he we're trying to bite off the serpent's
head The father seized the child and tore
the snake from his hands. The snake was OF
the black species, aud though not poisonous,
might have wound its body around the child
and choked him to DEATH This would seem
to settle the old dispute as to whether or not
human beings fear of snake is innate or the
result of education. 1t may have been that
the child was teething and wanted something
to bite, and in the absence of rubber or
painted stick, adopted the snake as a substi-
tute. Those who naturally feel an interest as
to the fate of the snake, may rest assured that
II was killed

BosToN Post: Ex-Gov. Dingley was yes
terday elected to Congress in the second
Maine district to fill the unexpired term of
Hon. William P. Frye. The attempt to
concentrate the Democratic vote on Gilbert,
the Greenback nominee, was a failure. 1t
will be good lesson for the Maine Demo-
Gratis, or rather for their leaders, who have
been altogether too anxious to have the
Democratic party serve as the tail for the
Greenback kite. The vote received by
Judge Gilbert shows that the Greenback
party in the second district is of very little
account, and it is plain enough that had Mr..
Reed remained in the field his vote would
have been double that received by the Green
back candidate

The Chicago Heresy Case.

The trial of the Rev. DIR. Thomas Of Chi
cago for heresy, and his conviction by
committee of his clerical brethren of the
Methodist denomination, have provoked
much unfavorable comment from the secu-
lar press and some severe and, to our mind,
unjust condemnation. A great deal of fool
ish talk about iliiberality, intolerance and
bigotry has been INDUCED in. Dr.. Thomas
is represented as a man prosecuted for opin-
IONS sake, suffering because he claimed
freedom of speech, a martyr to his love OF
right.
We do not understand that he suffers for
any of these things, or that his accusers
and judges have dealt harshly with him.
He is an able, an upright, conscientious
man. SO much is generally admitted. He
may be nearer right than his Methodist
brethren. His theological views may be
sounder. His preaching may be more eff
fective. Not assuming 0 be Judge in IS
rael we cannot pass upon these questions
But this much appears: He did not hold to
the Methodist creed as interpreted by its
authorities. He was not in sympathy, by
his own confession, with the doctrine
preached from its pulpits. He is not con
sidered by the ecclesiastical council whose
authority his denomination recognizes and
which be is bound to obey as long as he
retains his formal membership in the sect.
to be sound theologian and teacher. So
he is turned away.
There is no intolerance in this. He is at
liberty to speak bis opinions anywhere, to
join any sect whose views are his, or to
gather new audience if he can get people
to listen to him. His power for Christian
usefulness is not impaired. His honesty
and his ability are not impeached All the
verdict of The Chicago conference, OF consis-
tory, or synod, or conclave, or whatever it is
called, means is this: DR.. Thomas no long
er processes the creed or supports the polity
of the Methodist church as understood by
its constituted authorities; therefore they
decline to hold Reorganization responsible
for his utterances and to recognize him
hencefortb as Methodist minister.
He disagrees with the Methodist church as
to doctrines which they hold all-important
and to which he once subscribed. The
church declines to continue. his ministerial
appointment and debars him from member
ship in sect whose creed he rejects and
whose authority he defies. This, it seems
to US they have an entire right to do, and
cannot reasonably be charged with bigo.ry
or illiberality for so doing. He too, has an
entire right to his opinions and the pro-
claiming of them. He may be wiser, may
have better understanding OF divine truth
than they. But unquestionably they should
control their own church policy and be per-
mitted to set such restrictions as they see fit
on their membership, clerical or lay. TO
argue otherwise is to be guilty Of the very
intolerance of which their critics accuse
them

THE various sects of Methodists represent

are not generally divided by varying doc
trines or modes of worship, but generally by
alienated feelings growing out of petty quar-
rels years ago. These troubles have largely
passed away, and probably an indirect re
suit of the Congress will be to reunite most
of the followers of Wesley in one grand or
ganization, though no such object is among
the avowed purposes of the gathering. That
