which was III a very bad condition, evidently
having lain several weeks, was atgtirst supposed
to be that of E. A. Thormalin, the internal rev.
enue clerk who defaulted and disappeared
some time ago, but letters have been received
from Thormalin, who is in South America,
within three weeks, by some of his friends. The
deceased had evidently taken poison, after care

The disparity of the sexes III churches is
placed by Zion's Herald at two to one in favor
of the women, and the same paper also makes
the following rather startling statement: ''If
we we're to take the churches right through the
country, we should find that not more than
one-tenth of their number are men in the prime
of life. The other nine-tenths are women, men
who have passed their meridian, and youths
who have not yet reached their maturity. It is
also to be observed that in almost every other
community the majority of the energetic, en-
enterprising business men are not avowed and
active Christians; and if they are identified with
the church at all, it is usually in the most
superficial Way"

80 per cent, pure metal, and is easily worked
and converted into steel. Wood for fuel in
unlimited abundance is to be had near by, and
cool water is likewise accessible. Altogether,

. IT is significant" writes George Alfred
Townsend, that all the statuary now being put
up over the country is commemorative Of the
Union, and none of it monumental of the re-
beiion. South Carolina has put up two statues
since the war-one of Sergeant Jasper, on the
battery at Charleston; the other of Daniel Nor
gan near the field CT Cowpens. There is not a
public statue of Calhoun, nor is there likely to
be. In New Orleans monument to Robert E..
Lee was commenced some time ago, and is in an
unfinished state on apublic square. 1t was to
have been about ninety feet nigh. Efforts are
being made to finish it, but the respectable SEN
timent of the community discountenances it.

WHEN York, Pa, was invaded by the confed-
crates in 1868, Gen. Early, who commanded,
levied contribution of 100000 upon the city.
As nearly all the ready cash had been removed
before he arrived, he onlygot $50, 900. So con-
fdent was Early in the success of the campaign
in which he engaged that he took the bonds
of the corporational officers for the additional
$4,000. He was beaten at Gettysburg. and the
bonds were never presented. There is a story
now in York that Early still has the bonds and
contemplates bringing suit against the city to
recover the amount. This would certainly be a
novel suit at law and raise some interesting
questions.

Tho Land Court Besieged with
Applications.

DUBLIN, Nov. 14.-One of the
most remarkable scenes ever Wit
messed In connection with the ad-
ministration of law in this country
WAS presented at the Office OF the
Land Commission on Saturday,
which was the last day for receiv-
Ing applications for reductions of
rent for November. After this re-
auctions count from the next rent
day in March or May. Over $4,000
applica lions were made during the
day, and at night the Court SAT
until midnight, and applications
came from all parts. One lawyer
presented 1000 applications from
Ulster; another 1000 from Galway,
Tipperary and Cork. About 1000
came from Kerry and 200 from
Donegal. In fact there was not u
county In Ireland but sent applica.
tiops. There are now over 10000
applications before the Commits
sion. Batches of fresh cases come
in by almost every train. Curiously
enough, among the latest arrivals,
about IL O'Clock, was pile from
Parnelps own c0unty-Wfckiow
Yet it would be mistake to con-
slider the rush OF cases breakdown
of the influence of the leader.
Thousands are not paying, al
though all that the majority of the
latter class are asking for is lib.
eral reduction. 1t can only be a
question of time when they will
come into Court, after they find
the Court giving reductions on de-
mand. Meanwhile there may be
trouble with the most contuma-
ciOus tenants.
The experience of extensive land
agents is that rents are being paid
In Sligo, Roscommon, parts of
Galway, Limerick, Queens coun
ty, and Kilkenny; but in WEEK
ford, Clare, Kerry and parts of
Cork, and other counties, there is
q general determination not to
pay. The Kileen tenants of the
Earl of Cork repudiate and con-
denim the recent outrages on the
estates.

Ranch has been filed in the Su-

sells to B. d. Wilson that portion
