Catching a Clerical Sharper.

Not long ago a mild, clerical look
ing gentleman, dressed in black and
decorated with white necktie and
spectaclcs, arrived at the city Of Brook
lyn. To several theologians he repre-
sented himself n a minister from one
of the Southern States, aud in his ar
guments and controversies upon the
Gospel displayed talent and tact that
nonplussed his opponents. On several
occasions he filled the pulpits Of the
local brethren, aud preached with an
eloquence aud force that almost woke
up the deacons. Invitations TO tea
poured 10 upon him. aud in his social
relations he was pronounced perfect.
One noticeable thing about him was
the availability Of his ready cash.
lie gave literally to the church aud
10 charitable societies and never re-
fused the beggar his pittance when
there was anybody around. Suddenly
bestoppcd disbursing, and when chided
by the ministers, who had noted his
almsgiying with pleasure, he frankly
announced that his money had given
out aud that he would be compelled TO
wait for remittance. unless he could
get his check on his home bank cash
ed in this city. As a matter Of course,
the clerical fraternity saw through his
scheme in a moment, and they deter
mined to put the swindler where he
would do the most good. Not being
of the worlds people, they did not ex-
actly know how to put secular job,
and so they employed the services Of
a detective TO aid them in sending the
brother to State prison. The detect
i've advised them to single some one
pastor as victim, who should indorse
the check and take the culprit TO a
certain bank, where he would be
promptly arrested with the money in
his pocket. There was difficulty at
first, as all the ministers engaged in
the enterprise vehemently volunteered
TO be the victim. This was finally
overcome by casting lots, and one was
chosen. Tie notified the sharper that
he would indorse his check for auy
amount and the document was drawn
for sl 900. Together they went to the
bank, the money was paid, and the de-
tective sprang upon his quarry. In
order TO make assurance sure, n tele-
gram was sent to the bank, and in an
hour the answer came, Check good.
Let the drawer have anything up to
sl50.000. lie owns this bank and IL
bishon of this diocese"

PROPHETS or EVIL.

In response to the subject Of absorb
ing interest now under discussion By
scientists rs to the simultaneous arrival
Of all the major planets to their peri
hella, inhictiDg dire results and bring
ing about the most fearful calamities
known to history, and resulting in the
most devastating disasters TO men and
beasts, Professor Lewis Smith has writ
ten letter to the Rochester HeraH,
in which he says:
For the last two years the popular
mind has been excited to an unusual
degree over the statements made by a
few visionary enthusiasts, who, with a
great flourish Of apparent wisdom,
have spread before the world the pre-
dlctlon that, owing 10 the simultaneous
arrival of the major planets to their
perlheIla during the present year, the
most dreadful calamitics ever record
ed III history are 10 occur, such as
earthquakes on vast and dcstruct-
i've scale, devastating t0rnadoes. wide.
spread Pestilence, great loss Of life bv
shipwrecks, famine aud wars. and a
thousand other things too dreadful
to contemplate. In all communities
there Is a certain class who will give
Il listening ear TO anything, no mat
ter how absurd, that partakes largely
Of marvclOusness hence this belief.
which has not a particle Of evidence
TO support it, Is widespread in all civ
illzed countries.
/ am constantly Y receiving letters
asking when the planets will severally
be ia perihelion, nearest the sun, and
when we are to look for fulfillment
oI these predictions that will make the
wear 1881 famous for all coming time.
These questions convince me that the
deluslon still exists, and has sunk deep
in the minds of men, aud that perhaps
it would be advisable to prepare a
statement setting forth the facts a.
they exist, and, with slight variations,
will continue to exist a. long as time
lasts
All planets move in orbits or paths
more Of les, ellipiical, the sun occupy
ing the common focus OF them all.
IL therefore necessarily follows that a
planet is sometimes nearer the sun
than at Others. In our age but it
will not always be 20 the earth is
about three million miles nearer the
sun on the lst Of January than on the
ID day Of July. On January !, there
fore, the earth is in perihelion, and Of
course is in that situation once a year.
Every planet is in perihelion once dur
ing its year.
Mercury, the planet nearest the sun,
has a smaller orbit than ours. and hence
its year il correspondingly shorter, be-
ing only lightweight Of our days, aud
must, therefore, be in perihelion every
eighiy-eight days. On the contrary,
Neptune. the most distant planet
known, has a year equal in length to
one hundred and sixiy-four and one
half of ours, and is consequently only
once in perihelion during that time.
II follows that the time must come
when all the eight planets will be in
perihelion at once. 1t Is only qucs-
tion in simple arithmetic how often
this will happen.
1t has been stated, and insisted upon.
that this rare event, which probably
has not occurred since the Mosaic crea-
ton, would take place during the pres
cnt year That this is not the case the
