The opposition to the production of the Passion Play is an example of in- creasing bigotry and vulgar prejudice not uncommon but, all the same, un- welcome in this advanced age and this cosmopolitan city. It is impossible to know that the Passion Play is obiec- tionable until it has been seen and it is, therefore, palpably unjust to con- demn it in advance of it's production. If the Mayor can prohibit the produc- ton of the Passion Play out of respect to the feelings of Mir. Howard Crosby, why should he not, at some future time, prohibit the production of Sam uel of Posen" or the Merchant of Venice" out of respect to the feelings of MT. Abraham Levy?--N. Y. F. < M News.

CITY. Minneapolis and St. Paul, which
were looked upon as growing cities,
were regarded with greater favor than
those in other parts of the country.
Boston and Philadelphia were losing
their coigne Of vantage in the mercantile
trade. This was particularly true Of
Boston.
The investigation of credits has al.
most become a part of the trade Many
houses send reports of their sales to
new concern to the recognized CONNER
cial agencies. The concern itself is
asked TO make statement. The re-
ports and the statement are compared,
and whatever other information can be
obtained is used in making a rating.
Afterward, if there is reason to suspect
that the concern is going beyond the
bounds of safety, reports are called for
from the houses with which it deals and
a written statement from itself, which
can, if necessary, be used in a legal
proceeding if asked for. Judgment
must be coupled with the facts at hand,
but the sources whence information
may be obtained-the business houses,
the legal records, the banks and the
ike-are SO many that the real standing
of the concern may be arrived at with
q reasonable degree of accuracy.
Many houses require customers, whose
standing they doubt, to make written
statement on the purchase of goods,
and sometimes to swear to it, A state
ment made to obtain general credit
holds good in the courts. Where mer-
chants go on after they have become in
solvent, it is oftener the case that credits
were too easy than that it was their in
tention to entail loss upon their credit
ors. There are jobbing-houses in New
York city that do business on $40, 900,
but they are compelled to keep within
bounds and content themselves with a
small trade. There Is one house in
the city with q capital of $4,000, 600
which is believed to do a business Of
SIS, O00, 900 year. and another with a
capital of 81, 000. 900 which is said to do
business Of $50. 600, 600. IN. Y. Times

A Spirited Race for ONCE.

Allen Coffin, Esq, bearing the petit
ton of his brother, Mr.. James b. Coffin,
for appointment to the Office of Clerk OF
the Courts, and John F. Brown, ESQ.,,
bearing similar petition in his own
behalf, both numerously signed. left
here Saturday evening, 18th instant, on
steamer Martha's Vineyard, each being
anxious to gain the first opportunity Of
presenting their claims before the au-
thorities empowered to make the APP
pointment to the Office. 1t was also
desirable to obtain certain signatures in
New Bedford. They both put up at the
same hotel in Edgartown. breakfasted
together. and to all outward appearance
were most amicable pair. Meantime
each was plotting to outwit the other,
and each knew the others intention.
After breakfast they separated. Mr..
Brown Immediately embarked for New
Bedford in the only available sailboat,
and Mr.. Coffin simultaneously set out
on drive to Vineyard Haven. At the
latter place he hired sailboat to take
him to New Bedford. On arriving at
Woods Holl, it was found that the
tide was running too strong to get
through. He accordingly chartered
the steamer Hunter, which happened
to be lying there, and while wait
ing for her to get up steam,
Mr.. Brown arrived, and he also was
unable to get through on account of the
tide. Totally unconscious that Mr..
Coffin had left the Vineyard, Mr.. Brown
and his boatmen got dinner at the res
turant, and after waiting until the tide
turned again embarked. Mr.. Coffin ar
rived at the wharf just in time to cast.
off their line and wish Mr. Brown bon
roydge The latter chuckled to himself
over the supposed discontinue of his
competitor, but his exultation was
turned to dismay little later when he
saw the Hunter, with Mr.. Coffin aboard,
following in his wake. The steamer
passed the sailboat off Clark's Point,
and Mr.. Coffin arrived in New Bedford
twenty minutes ahead and secured the
coveted names. Beaten in that direc-
ton, but not discouraged, Mr.. Brown
left New Bedford on freight train at
five O'Clock the extmorning and visited
successfully Taunton, Boston, Salem,
Lowell and Northampton, securing sig
natures, letters and influence in his be-
half. Mr.. Coffin left New Bedford at
nine a. M, visited Boston and North
ampton, and returned to Taunton. sat

the premises until the meeting of the
Judges in Boston next month, Chief
Justice Morton having SO informed him.
Unexpectedly to the Chief Justice, how
ever, majority were present at the
Court House in Boston last Saturday,
the petitions were considered, and Mr..
Brown received the appointment

the creature of Hon. Leonidas Cesar
Houk, the only veteran (?) in this broad
land who will shed tears when this
Brownlow goes into retirement.
