IN his remarks, last sunday, Mr.. Beeoher gave
utterance to some views on the subject of infant
baptism. He said: '0.
"Any value which the baptism of children has,
mas come down to us as a Roman cerefnonE-a
ceremony of the Romish Catholic Church, and
through that utterly fictitious and cOndcmnable
notion that the whole human race fell in Adam;
that as consequence Of Adams federal head
ship all mankind guilty, and that gave rise
TO infant baptism, because it WAS supposed that
it washed away Adams guilt out of them. Why,
the water that YOU could put upon the point OF q
cambria needle would be enough to wash away
all the sin our children got from Adam.
so We don't baptize children for the sake OF
washing away any hereditary guilt, or because
they participate or receive any influence from 1t
whatever Why, then, do L baptize children
Why do most persons baptize themf 1t Is simply
in conformation with our church practice and to
the practices OF mankind everywhere, for the
parents TO stand sponsor for the children. 1t is
the original and natural ARRANGEMENT that the
child; that they should stand between the child
and mischief. They give to the child that las
not got it the substance of their best Judgment,
and they take their children and in the presence
of the whole congregation, they say: we
undertake to olothe this child with all we know
that is best, with all that is just and true, and
we will seal 1t in baptismal water And when
the child comes of age he can do just as he
pleases he can say: Il accept the agreement of
my father and mother; ratify it, Or he can
refuse to do so. 1t is just as though they exc
cuted legal document undertaking to give the
child certain property when he shall come OF
age, upon his executing certain conditions; and
when he is of age he executes the conditions and
claims the property

The Louisville Courier-Journal, in reproducing
dispatch from this city to the New York Times
with reference to the appointmenJ of Judge
Woods to the United States bench, makes one
paragraph read thus:
sit is regretted that the President did not fol-
low the Senator's recommendation in the APP
pointment OF judge, but appointed a man who
was an open and avowed political enemy OF Sen
atOr Morton"
AS it appeared in the Times the paragraph
was:
at is recalled that Grant did not follow the
Senator's recommendation in the appointment
of Judge, but appointed a man who was an
open and avowed political enemy of Norton"
This was simply a reminisoence, which had
been noted IN several quarters, in connection
with the failure of the Senator's recommended
ton in the present instance, and could not, and
does not apply to anything else. The attempt OF
the CD, or of any other person to foment par
ty disturbance over this appointment will not
be successful The Times special says "The
selection of Judge Woods is in no sense objec-
tionable, and IN itself can cause no feeling be-
tween Harrison and Gresham, or permanent
trouble in the party ranks"

DOWN in Arizona, Indians are allowed TO ride
free on the railroad trains. A Chinaman who
wanted transportation painted himself the re-

Though his ways and his face we're dark enough,
his trick was vain, and All Sin was set off in the

Two THOUSAND Boston suckers assembled the
other night to see materalized spirits, which had
been advertised to be present. The spirits APP
peared according to contract, and everything
would have passed off swimmingly, had not two
or three prying persons found a trap-door and
other very mundane machinery under the cab
met, by means Of which the heavenly visitors,
clothed in substantial flesh and blood, were ena-
bled TO come before the audience. And then the
crowd unkindly tried to blaoken the mediums

A WEALTHY citizen of Vermont died lately and
left 100000 for the benefit of the public
schools. He was regarded as a great man and
public benefactor, but since it has been learned
that the money is to be divided among all the

object he is spoken of as Scattering" and &C.

said 1t had been shown that Crone,

time he entered the place.
He conten,ied that Croney had no in
tention Of fghtpig Mcguire when h,
called him out the evidence had show
that Mcguire was much larger mar
than the prisoner, and he knew his in
ability to cope with him. He intended
10 get him outside and shoot him IN liz
tracks. There was no self.lefeilse In
the matter, and the counsel for the de-
tense had ~ well urge an alibi, ~ pre-
sent that plea. He concluded his re-
marks by saying if they believed the
testimony for the State, they would rem
der verdict Of guilty. At O'Clock
Court took Il recess.
Mr.. Gray objected, and Messrs
Whiteley and Bird cited authorities to
show that they had the right to show
the excited condition of the deceased
before he came in contact with the
prisoner.
After lengthy argument by counsel
on both sides, the Court decided that
the defense could not show what the
conduct of the deceased WAS previous
to meeting Croney, AZ the character of
the deceased was not at issue.
The witness, who during the discus
sion had left the stand and taken a
seat, was recalled and cross examined
by Mr., Gray all the conversation that
he heard was while he was standing
outside saw Croney approach Mcguire
and extend his hand, but could not

quainted with Croney; he is not IA man

EVIDENTLY An UNTRUTH.

That Girls at Telephones Lose Their
Voices and Speak in Whispers.
New York Paper.l
Twenty girls said 'fHelloa!" as a
reporter entered an upper room
at 1873 Broadway yesterday. They
were not addressing their remark to
the reporter, however, but to various
customers of the Metropolitan Tele-
phone Company that has there one of
their transfer stations. The object of
the reporters visit was to ascertain
whether there was any truth in re-
port which has been going the rounds
Of the press that girls attending to tel
ephones lose their voices, and are
sometimes compelled to speak in a
whisper.
Superintendent Cochrane said !:
"Some of the girls have been here
since we began work, about four years
ago, and l have never seen any indi.
cation Of loss of voice. On the con-
trary, they have too much voice, if
anything. The company employs
about 100 girls ut the various sta
tons, and l never heard of case
where girl lost her voice These 20
girls have handled 1871 messages in
one day, and they ordinarily handle
$500 messages, so that they are kept
talking pretty steadily. Yet they do
not get tired. They talk to one an
other during their Is minutes recess,
morning and afternoon, and they talk
to othe. operators IN the intervals Of
business, yet they are not tired. l
sometimes wish they were. l think
you may put down as certain that if
a girl does not get voiceless after four
years ofsteady talking she may be re-
lied upon to hold out. l have seen
the notice about the girl that lost her
voice, but judging from my own ex-
perience, ! should infer that che must
lave had some other cause than the
use of the telephone. Our girls begin
at 8, and keep it up all day."
evil you please tell me new tel.
ephonc joker" the reporter asked
mildly.
81 will tell YOU a JOKE" Mr.. Coch.
rane replied pleasantly. Every morn
ing we call up our customers to see
whether the lines are in working or

and the subscriber at the other end
was asked to give us a CALI We
waited, but got no answer. Then we

swered. lie Is not here; he has Just
started up to your Office because you

"Will you please tell me another

family.

is a very common thing. when sc call
up subscribers place of business, to
have the porter reply: "'There's no.

Prof. Schubeler, Norwegian
plant'geographer, called attention Il
short time ago to the remarkable fact
that most plants IN high ATTITUDES pro-
duce muchlarger and heavier seeds than
In warmer regions nearer the equator
AN effect which he ascribes to the
prolonged influence of sunlight during
the long summer days of the higher
ATTITUDES. In some cases tho differ
ence Of seed development is most as
tonishing. Dwarf beans taken from
Christiana to Drontheim- less than
four degrees farther north-gained
fhore than 60 per cent. in weight: and
thyme from Lyons when planted
at Drontheim showed a gain of u per
cent. The grain of northern fields is
heavier than when grown in more
southern Localities; and seed from
Norway planted at Breslau decreased
greatly in the first year Griseback
and Martins have noticed that the
leaves also Of most plants are larger
and more deeply colorcd in higher
attitudes: The same is true OF
aowers, and many which are white in
southern climates become violet IN the
far North.
