Rev, Sir Hinman Wants Damages :

Rev. Samuel D. Hinman began recently
suit in the supreme court of New York against
Rev. VIM. 81. Hare, missionary bishop of Mo
brara, to recover So, 500 damages for an al
legged libel. Bishop Hare, in March, 1878, sus-
pended him, and he demanded trial. The
court was appointed, but no /, trial was had.
Hinman sfterward published pamphlet in
published reply, He declared that Hinman
had the reputation in the Indian country of
being sn abandoned profigate This state
ment constitutes the libel for which suit is
brought Bishop Hare alleges that he made
the statement in order to protect his official
and private character against charg rought

Reduction OF Petty Taxes

Assistant Secretary Upton, of the treasury
department, says: would recommend certain
reductions in our custom duties, or rather I
would advocate that certain articles be placed
upon the free list purely as matter of accom-
mediation to the government in collections
There are number of taxes that are relics of
war times that should be abolished Take for
instance the tsx on matches. 1t is only cent,
and it takes an enormous number of clerks and
employees to manufacture gum, count and mail
these stamps. There is no demand for a tax
upon matches, and the government would be
better off if it were removed. There is the
same objection to the tax on patent medicines
These things are generally paid for by poor
people, and as we don't absolutely need the
money, this reduction might be made.

Greater Banking Security Required

), The ruin of the Mechanics National bank at
Newark very naturally attracts attention to the
oft mooted question whether the national bank
ing laws shonld not be amended to give greater
security to the depositors and stockholders in
such institutions. If the laws are sufficiently
comprehensive, then it would seem that there
is necessity for q more rigid enforcement of
those laws by the subordinates OF the comp
troller of the currency. The security of share
holders and depositors alike depends upon the
rigidity with which the banks are examined by
the bank examiner

Old Man of the Mountain.

The "Old Man of the Mountain" the great stone face jutting out from one of the nearly perpendicular walls of Fran conia Notch, is apparently doomed to speedy destruction. A member of the Appalachian Club, who has made two visits to it, the second on the 17th inst, says the whole ledge is in crumbling condition. A large fragment of rock which forms the upper part of the fore head has become separated from the cliff, and is now poised on the outer edge of the mass of rock upon which the forehead rests. This gap has been slowly widening for years. Some fif- teen or twenty feet back is 8 large crevice. This is filled with loose gravel and water, and the action of the frost the coming winter, it is feared, will so jar the upper-forehead fragment, fifteen feet long and four to five feet in width and depth, that it will fall, and injure if not destroy the features below. To prevent this catastrophe means must be provided to carry off the water and gravel from the rear crevice, and it is thought that the small Assure may be prevented from widening by means oi iron clamps. The proprietors of the Profile House, who are naturally solic' itous to preserve this most attractive advertisement of the Notch, guarantee that everything which is feasible shal be done to save it before winter sets in Cementing the rocks solidly together was first suggested, but when the diff cult climb up the steep mountain side was fully considered, and the fac brought to mind that man could no carry more than pailful of cement tt the cliffs at time, the idea was aban doned at once. The scheme decided upon seems the only practical one, ant this will be but temporary salvation
 of the face in the opinion of engineer
 who have examined into the condition 0
 the rock.

A Knight of Pythias.

A woman of Bay City, Mich, disguised herself as man and clerked in store for year, and then applied for mem bership in the Knights of Pythias and was initiated. During the work of the third degree her sex was discovered. It seems that in the third degree they have an Indian rubber rat and celluloid snake, which run by clock work inside, and which were very natural indeed. The idea is to let them run at the can- didate for initiation to see if he will finch. When the snake ran at the girl she kept her nerve all right, but when the rat tried to run up her trousers legs she grabbed her imaginary skirts in both hands and jumped onto a refrigerator that was standing near, which is used in the work of the fourth degree, and screamed bloody murder. The girl is member of the order, however, an6 there is no help for it. This affair may open the eyes of members of secret so cieties and cause them to investigate It is probable that quite number O the Odd Fellows, Masons, Knights O Pythias, etc., are women, and no on' will ever know it. One lodge here, W, understand, takes precaution agains the admission of women by examining carefully the feet of applicants. If th
 feet are cold enough to freeze ice crear
 the can didate is blackballed. The tem
 perature of the feet is considered an il
 fallible test.-MilaO0attee Sun.

A Few Sun Statistics.

The sun is supposed to be 93, ,O00,OOO miles from the earth. Its surface is nearly 12,OOO times, and it's volume or bulk more than 1,3O0,000 times greater than that of the earth. If the earth is represented by three inch globe, the sun, on the same scale, will be more than twenty-seven feet in diameter. If the sun were hollow, and the earth at its centre, there would be room for the moon 24O,O0O miles away, and for an- other satellite 19O, ,OO0 miles beyond her. The mass of the sun, that is, the quantity of matter contained in it, is nearly 33O,0 times as great as that of the earth. This mass is about 75O times as great as the combined masses of all the planets and satellites of the solar system it is two octillions of tons. The attractive pull of this tremendous mass upon the earth, at distance of nearly 93,0O0,OO0 miles, again trans cends all conception. It is thirty-six quadrillions of tons in figures, 36 fol- lowed by seventeen ciphers. If gravi- tation were to cease, and steel wires were used to hold the earth i'll her orbit, each wire being as large as the heaviest telegraph wire (No. A, it would require nine to each square inch of the earth's surface, and the whole sunward hemi- sphere 'of our globe would have to be covered as thickly as blades of grass upon a lawn. A man who on earth would weigh 25O pounds, would at the sun weigh nearly two tons, and be un. able to stir. A planet as far away as the nearest fixed star, which is more thar 100000 times more remote than the SUI from the earth, if not disturbed by any other attractions, would still be gov. erned in it's motion by the sun, though if moving in circle, nearly 9O,OOO, OO|
 years would be required for singl
 revolution. If the motion seems slow 1t is because the distance is so vast bu
 the planet would still be so powerful held in it's orbit that it could only ire itself from solar attraction by dartin } away with velocity of more than 30 } feet per second.

The Choice of d Saddle Horse.

Midy Morgan, in an article Tn the Century Magozine for November, says: The selection of horse for the saddle is common source of trouble to those wishing to commence riding. In the United States, at the present time, there is no lack of horses that, with careful breaking, could be made first class saddle-horses. The racing stables of America furnish every year number of horses not good enough to keep on in training, yet excellent for park-hacks or for lightweight hunters. These ani- mals can always be bought at low rates, and when properly broken are safer and far more lasting than common-bred horses. Central America possesses a breed of ponies of rare beauty and do- cility-charming household pets for children. These little animals are not always to be found in the United States. and when here they are costly. Fo1 larger boys and girls, the mustang o1 the plains ought to be favorite mount. Their many good qualities are not as yet fully recognized. The mustang is be- lieved by many to be vicious, unruly and, in consequence, unsafe for children on the contrary, it is an intelligent sturdy little creature, full of affection for kind owner. Droves of mustang are from tune to time brought to Nev York by the great cattle-shippers, an' in their wild state they are snapped ul by city dealers at prices ranging iron eight to forty dollars per head.

Hereditary Crime.

The Biaghanaton Republican says: Is crime hereditary? There is much evidence to show that it is. A recent interview with MT. A. H. La Monte, the Superintendent of the Susquehanna Valley Home, who from his position has an excellent opportunity for observa- tion, strongly corroborates this propo- sition. Nearly year ago 8 boy who was considered one of the most honest and trusty in the Home was placed with good family, and for time his con- duct was in every way exemplary. Of late, however, he has developed so strong propensity for stealing that the family, who are earnestly solicitous for the boys welfare, are very anxious on his account. The boy that was sent this week from the Home to the House of Refuge has never, so far as can be learned, been so situated as to be edu- cated to thievery. He had been an inmate of the Home for nearly three years, and until recently no tendency to kleptomania was discovered. As he was interesting and bright, much pains was taken with him. Very few boys of his age or of any age had as much Bible knowledge as he, and he was noticeable for general intelligence. A few months since, to the great surprise of the Super intendent and all who knew the lad in- timately, suspicion strongly pointed to him as having been guilty of taking money from the room of the Assistant Superintendent. He confessed the crime, promised complete reformation, and the matter was dropped. After ward, however, occasionally little losses occurred at the Home, but nothing could be proved against this boy till last week, when considerable sums were taken from the rooms of three em- ployees of the Home, into which he gained access while they were at break fast. The boys case had now reached a point where it was thought that his welI-being required his removal to the House of Refuge, and he was accordingly sent there. Here was 8 boy who fol years had been under good instruction and careful discipline, with the whole Ten Commandments at the end of his tongue, and Christ's Sermon on the Mount in his memory, guilty of larceny
 and that, apparently, without any req motive, except suddenly developed dispositition to steal. The hereditar. seed of crime, long latent, at lengtl sprung up with the above results, wher' better fruits were looked for. Tn
 most difficult problem that educators o children and managers of boards o charities have to cope with is to eradi cate these inherited germs of crime.

An Explanation.

A strange explanation has been un- earthed of the manner in which certain freemen of the borough of Grimsby, in England, 800 of whom have just been struck of the roll, originally had the privilege granted to their ancestors. When Queen Elizabeth visited the place she was so struck by the excessive ugli. ness of the ladies of the borough that, out of compassion for the poor men who had to marry them, she put aside piece of land, to share of which each native born woman was entitled on marriage, thus giving to the bridegroom ''a DOT tion," and a consequent nght to vote at Parliamentary elections. The land still remains, and the freemen have voted for 300 years, but they have now become a thing of the past as far as voting is con Corned

THE FIRST IN AFRICA. Private reports from the French army in Tunis tell a tale which leaves the fearful losses on the march easily accounted for. In the Kroumir country, after hard days fight ing and marching the men had for two days nothing at all to eat but biscuit Aweek after there was no issue of food for twenty four hours, and on the follow ing day there was given to the men 9 third of ration of half mouldy bread. On the following two days there was no bread, and after an interval of two days of comparative comfort supplies were stopped for another two days.
