| THE neurology of 1881 contains the names
of some Of the most notable men of the world
and age. Two foremost men in America and
England head that solemn list-Garfeld and
Disraeli-- unlike personally, yet alike in this,
that their deaths left great vacancies in the
ranks of political leadership. Two other men,
on either side of the ocean, might fifty repre-.
sent the English and American pulpit--Dean
Stanley and Leonard Bacon. Thomas Carlyle
has no fitting subject for comparison in Amer
lea. His was a place peculiar to himself
alone. DR.. J. G. Holland, poet, philosopher,
and journalist, passed. away, with none to
mark his parallel.
A CERTAIN young mother of Kingstown, N.
Y, had been reared in luxury and was lacking
in practical knowledge. The other day she
undertook to give the child a bath in
small foot tub. The lady's mother, who lives
with her, passing through the room, dipped
her finger in the water and told her daughter
|
would have to warm it. Instead of adding a
little warm water she placed the bath-tub with
the baby in it on a small gas stove and waited
for further developments. The developments
came as soon as the bottom of the tub began
to get extra warm. The offspring gave one
yell, when the fond mother, grandmother and
| two servants rushed to the rescue. In the
| future grandmother will look after the child
| while the mother reads up on the cares OF a
mother and how to bring up children.
REV WESLEY r. DAVIS has kicked, like DR..
Newman, against the itinerancy of the M. E.
church, and left that church, and become pas
tor of the late Mr.. Hepworth's church
| in New York city, known as "ChUrch
of the disciples" It had not much of the
element of cohesion, being drawn together
by the personality and charm of Mr.. Hep
worth's eloquence. Mr.. Davis remained pas
tor about the length of time of the Methodist
itinerancy, and left, and it is now said ne will
90 to reformed Dutch church in Albany. He
did not like the regular Methodist itineracy,
and so has taken up an irregular itineracy Of
his own. It often, and indeed, generally hap
pens, that in changing pastoral denomina-
| tional relations, the minister's work is unsta-
BILE, unequal and comparatively non-utile.
| Henry Ward Beecher, in his new Years SER
mon, insinuated that there were men in the
Brooklyn board of education, who made the
loss of virtue on the part of females the con-
dition of obtaining positions In the schools as
teachers. The board made stir about such
insinuations, and Mr.. Beecher in his pulpit
was made to eat goodly quantity of very
humble pie. Mr.. Beecher admitted that his
utterances were fairly liable to the construc-
ton put upon them, but he "disavo wed any
such intent and annulled the SEN
tences.'' Was the cratic gentleman
sincere in disavowing any such "intent?"
What did he mean by the acknowledged in
situations? All, Mr.. Beecher has waned, and
his usefulness of to-day is believed to be about
on par with his known unreliabllity in secu-
lar and theological affairs.
The Indian Territory, which is now the
home of $4,000 Indians, contains about co. 900
square miles, and is about as large as Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland combined. The territory
contains some twenty reservations. The five
leading tribes are the Cherokees, Choctaws,
Creeks, Chickasaws, and Seminoles. The pop
ulation of these five tribes amounts to about
| IS, 900, and their property, real and personal,
! is valued at about S25,000,0O0. They have
churches, schools, legislatures and self-gov-
eminent, and show themselves capable of civ
| ilization. The great drawback has been the
ale IF froo ioc ho in
by which they hold their property and homes.
These things have stifed their ambition and
destroyed their aspirations. Everything the
| Indians hold sacred has been at the mercy of
the white mans greed and rapacity, and
yet they have made advancement.
| Rev. DR.. j. P. Newman, pastor of the Met
ropolitan M. E. church in Washington dur
| ing Gen. Grants presidency, which church
the president and family attended, not liking
the Methodist itinerancy, has left that COM
munion, and become pastor of the Madison
Avenue Congregational church in New York
City, into which church Gen. Grant and fam
lily have followed him, with many other prom
inent and wealthy citizens, merchants and
lawyers. Gen. Grant, when president, appointed
DR.. Newman inspector of consulates
which gave that favored gentleman an agree
able trip around the world at the public ex-
pense, but whether the trip was equal in value
to its cost to the government has never been
ciphered out. 1t was, nevertheless, sample
of that personal favoritism, at the public ex-
pense, for which the renowned ex-President
was greatly noted.
A BosroN actor wished to hear Patti sing
without paying for it, and so he wrote to her
ienclosing ticket of lecture by somebody on
John Howard Payne, author of Home,
Sweet Home,'' stating that he was an intimate
friend of Payne. having been present at his
death BID in Tunis. He added that it was
his sincere wish to hear her sing the beloved
song of his old comrade. Patti sent in re-
Spouse ticket for one of the best seats in the
house. But it struck the trickster that there
might be an after clap of some kind. There
