FARCE OF


A very ridiculous thing it is to the
average American to know Of the folly
of the British house of commons respect
ing its treatment OF Charles Bradlaugh.
When he was first elected he declined to
take the oath on the bible and was af-
frmed with up.lifted hand. Be it re-
membered that Mr.. Bradlangh is the
leading inidel of England, a sort of Bob
Ingersoll. Very soon some pious per-
son discovered a law providing that any
person who sat in parliament without
taking the prescribed oath, should be
subject to the pay ment of a penalty OF
five hundred pounds. Bradlaugh was
proceeded against and judgment given
for the full amount of the penalty.
Meanwhile Bradlaugh was brought to
the bar of the house and commanded
to take the proper oath. He refused'
saying it would not be binding upon his
conscience, but that anafirmation was.
He was then ordered to withdraw from
the house. He refused to do SC and he
was forcibly elected and then expelled as
a member. But he was at once ~re-elect-
ed by his constituency, by larger ma
jority than before. He presented him
self in due time for admission to his
seat, but refused to take the prescribed
oath, preferring 10 be affirmed. He
was again forcibly elected, so violently,
indeed, that his arm was broken by the
police in the scunle. Several times af-
forwards when Mr.. Bradlaugh demand
ed admission to his seat he was remov-
ed from the floor of the house to the
gallery.
However, he repented, at last, and
concluded "'Twas useless to strive
against fate" so he procured a tesla
ment, went into the house and demand
ed TO be sworn in. But the house
wouldn't have it that way. Although
Bradlaugh had come down to their de-
mands they refused to accept, him, and
he has been several times denied admis-
sion, and as often led out by the ser.
geant.at-arms.
The whole thing strikes the average
Englishman as a matter of gross unfair.

Mrs. Topnoody was much agitated
over the reports of smallpox, and the
other evening when Mr.. Topnoody came
in she said:
"Mr. Topnoody, are there any new
cases of smallpox"
"Yes, dear, he replied serenely.
ooh, where are they?"
"In Pittsburgh, dear"
"Indeed? Have you been vaccinat-
ed?"
Eyes, dear, but I'm not afraid any
way. The smallpox has too much sense
to take a big strong mar like me-"
"Oh it has, has it? Well, Topnoody,

was young"

A CASE that promised to develop a
great amount of scandal has been prac-
tically ended. We refer to the cross
proceedings in divorce between Mrs.
Kate Chase Sprague and husband. His
bill has been withdrawn, while all the
charges of adultery have been eliminat-
ed from her bill, and the complaint sets
forth merely, non-suppoTt. Upon this
the court has granted a divorce but the
decree has not yet been entered. OF the
children, the three girls remain with
their mother, while the boy goes to his
father. Thank fortune that the vultures
of society have been cheated of their
prospective feast on the carrion OF
scandal which these suits promised q

pose that is the first occasion upon
which national banks cash has been
actually examined and counted by the
examiner. As a rule they do nothing
of the kind. / have often thought
over the carelessness with which ex-
amina,ions were conducted and l have
made it a point to question tellers and
cashiers of national banks and as to
the modes of examination. In each
instance they have assured ME that
the cash was never actually counted.
The bundles alleged to contain 81 900
or So, 900 were checked OFT on sheet
of paper but each of them was not
opened to see if it really contained
81 900 or s., 900. The cash is taken
for granted, and the examiner does

NAV be in some banks, the man or

no connection with the men who re-

A Sudden Change.

In certain church there was a
prominent young brother. His con-
version was clear and every way salts
factory. Nothing could be sail
against him ~ a man. When he ell
tered the church every one was hope
full. His start of was cheerful. From
the beginning he was an earnest stu
dent Of the scriptures. and a regular
attendant upon all the services of the
church. In due time he became a
teacher in the Sunday school. He
PRAYED fervently and accep'ably in
the prayer meeting, and would lead
the meeting when called upon. In
his conversation he was devout, in all
his department orderly. In the church
at G. there was no more pro-
missing young member. After awhile
this Baptist married an excellent
Christian woman. Everybody was
pleased, and the older ones said his
pious wife would be great help to
him in his christian life. They start
ed together afresh, hand in hand, To
run the christian race. Ii was lovely
10 see them walking in the ways of
God, each cheering the other on.
Thus sped the happy years. Great
peace was i'm that house, and the two
were like trees planted by the rivers
of waters. Whatsoever they did pro-
spered.
Then came a change. The rosy
hue of piety began to pale. Now and
then he was not in his place at church.
He grew languid religiously. More
aud more he dropped off his duties
until it became painfully apparent
that he was no longer spiritual
power in the community. His wife
sometimes went to church by herself,
and would half alphabetically and
half sorrowfully say, II don't know
why he acts as he does he used to be
so good to 60 to meeting, but now it
is different. Well, he works hard
and he SAYS he needs rest on Sunday"
Now what was the matter? 1t could
not be that there was no time to 60 to
church, for he went many other
places farther off, and at hours equal
ly incOnvenient. There was nothing
against his moral character, still he
was utterly worthless to the church
and to religion,
