A Rare Case.

Rev. Campbell Fair, Rector of Ascension
Church, Lafayette Square, Baltimore, has
declined the very fattering call he recently
received to church in Philadelphia. This
is an exceptional case, and worthy of more
than passing notice. The usual course
pursued by the clergy, on receiving call
to more pretentious church with big
salary, is to make it matter of profound
meditation and prayer" and then side with
the church offering the big salary, Napo-
leon used to say that Providence was al
ways on the side of the heaviest battalions.
As in war, so in church affairs, if we may
judge from the course of the clergy, Prov
idence is always ON the side of the heaviest
salaries. Mr.. Fairs case is an exception.

from the Committee on Ways and Means,

the South had made revenues necessary,
and that they ought not to attempt to
have them cut down in this way. He
also attacked the bill on the ground that it
would do the manufacturers great injustice.
A spirited debate between him aud Hatch
followed. The House refused to take the
bill. In fact the Committee on Ways

favor OF this bill, but desire to incorporate
it in a bill reducing the revenue rather
than attempt any special legislation upon

court reversed the decision Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury, Mr.. Sherman, made in

Government under the Dutch standard

a certain grade were colored to
lower grades byartifcial means and brought
in under the lower rates Of duty. The use
OF an instrument called the polariscope was
then brought about, by which the actual
crystallizing quality Of the consequent
amount Of saccharine matter therein con.
tained was determined without regard to
color. Several decisions by the Secretary
OF the Treasury sustained the use Of this
instrument and the matter was carried to
the Supreme Court with the result above
stated to-day. Justice Stanley Matthews
