Mr.. LINCOLN was slain in days when
excitement ran high and war experience
had made men unmindful of deeds ui
blood, when the sky was clouded and
gusty but yesterdays dread deed was 2
bolt from clear sky.

ALrHoNsE CARR somewhat savagely
says: GA woman who writes commits
two Sins-she increases the number of

Col, MCCLURE's address at Bethlehem
manifestly has had no popular influence.
In congregating around the bulletin boards
to-day to hear news of the presidential
shooting, nobody takes the sunny side'
but all hunt the shady newspaper boards.
WHILE the presbytery at Emlenton, this
state, by vote of twenty-five to one, was
expelling from the church Mr.. Donald.
| son, for only trying to dance, the wife OF
DR.. McCosh, Of Princeton, the intellectual
| and theological head centre of Prcsby
tcrianism in this country, was acting as
one of the patronesses of the University
ball.
THE wurthlessness Of Garfield's civil
service views is seen in the removal OF
Mr.. Smith, collector of the port Of Ban
gor, Maine, and the appointment Of ex-
Governor Davis in his place. Mr.. Smiths
administration Of the Office has been emil
nently satisfactory to the business men Of
Bangor, who were, without exception, op
posed to his removal. But Blaine's ''bub, -
Senator Eugene Hale, demanded it, in or
der that he might complete the bargain he
made with Ex-Governor Davis during the
senatorial contest in that state, by which
Davis, who was candidate, withdrew and
gave his influence to Hale.

THESE dreadful scientists will be the
death Of us all. Their figures outrun the
comprehension of man or the track of
comets. In the case of tho lunatic now
trying to starvc himself in Chicago they
have found that the number of corpus
cles is increasing. Where four days ago
they numbered 2, 100, 600 to tho cubic mil
limctrc, now they number 3, 900, 900. The
experts have no theory to account for this
phenomenon. The corpuscles in the
faster's blood had previously decreased
from over G,OO0,0O0, and $4,000 is
the average number for healthy blood.
IT has become almost fashion in Eng.
land for clergymen to read now and then
from their pu'pits sermon by some pop
ular preacher. In such cases, however, it
is considered point of honor to give the
autho's name. A Presbyterian clergy
man at Leith for eleven Sundays preached
the sermons Of others without complying
with this requirement. BY way of pun
ishment he has been suspended for three
months by the authorities. He is not sus
pended from his salary, and tho congreg a.
ton besides paying him, are obliged to
hire a substitute; SO that they are prob
ably sorry by this time that their pastor
was found out.
In response to inquiries from some Of
the clergy Of his diocese as to the use of
the revised New Testament, Bishop Ste-
vens, of Philadelphia, states that as the
general convention Of tho church in 1928
adopted the King James version of tho Bible
as published by Eyre and Straher as the
standard edition and Incorporated their
action into what is now Canon 1s, Title 1,
Of the Digest, no clergyman is at liberty
to use any other version in his public min
istrations. The church having taken care.
full and deliberate action, and that action
having been the law of the church for
over fifty years, no clergyman will lightly
violate the canon to which lc has prom
scd obedience.
