The case Of the minister in Hebron, Conn,
who preached vigorous sermon against
legalized polygamy not long ago 10 the great
offence of wealthy member of his church
who sat in his pew with his fourth wife,
having been divorced from the three who
preceded her as the mistress of his heart. Will
be remembered. 1t was reported soon af-
forwards that the community sustained
the pastor and that the offended member.
one of the chief supporters of the church,
would sell his property and leave the place.
But the latest reports show that the much
married church member is likely to be vic
torious. At a recent meeting Of the church
report declaring the pastors conduct in
discreet, improper and deserving a repri-
mand was adopted. Then The man of many
divorces rose and informed the brethren
thai if they would pass a vote pronouncing
him member of the church in good and
regular standing, he would return to the
town, take his place again among them and
withdraw the suit for SANDER instituted
against the pastor. The vote was promptly
passed. The pastor was not present, but it
is improbable that he will remain as the
shepherd of the flock 1t is too much like
being goatherd.

Governor Butler is very fond Of referring
10 certain once prominent Republicans in
MASSACHUSETTS who have gone wrong and
are in disgrace. He excuses his mistake in
alluding to Stickney as one pardoned by his
predecessor in Office on the ground that he
is unable to keep clearly in his mind the
cases of the several Republican office hold
ers who have sinned. Butler ought not to
be too severe on them, for some, and we
think all. of them were of the class of Re
publicans known as Butler men. Winslow,
for example, was strong Butler man al
ways. This was one of the earliest indica-
tions that their notions of right and wrong
we're rather loose.

Agitation in favor of the purchase of The
Adirondack wilderness by the State of
New York has sent up the price of land in
that region from nearly nothing to 500 an
acres. The committee of the Legislature
wplch has been examining tie subject think
this is altogether too high and will recon-
mend that the State abandon the idea Of
purchasing. The greedy holdders have APP
parently overreached themselves, for the
land is of so little value to its owners that
hundreds of acres are annually sold for

Important to all who use Betting,
We have Just patented a new article In RDbber
Betting which is sold under the name OF
GIANT TING.

rnis Beltiug is made up with the usual plies Of
Duck and Rubber, and, before putting On the out
side cover, it is stitched ID sears exc inch apart
wi h cotton cord, which has cnling strength Of
fifty pounds. 1t is then stretched in its plastic
state, drawing the plies so close together, that
with the strong cord with which it is stitched mate.
rial strength Is added to tho belt and the stitches
are SO drswn into the plastic rubber that they can
not wear of On the outside. The outside cover lie
then put on seamless. so that 1t cannot OPEN as is
the case of Rubber Betting made in the ordinary
way, and the plies being so firmly stitched, rs well
as rctioned together that the belt cannot separate
as many belts made in the old way will after being
used for tilae, especially when run at great
speed or in damp places.
We particularly call the attention of all Mill own
ers to this Belt being in the end the cheapest belt
they car buy, Nhie the first cost is only about ten
per cent mogs than betting made in the ordinary
way. We believe it viii wear more than double the
length of time. For heavy main belts you will find
It superior to anything made also superior for
Endless Ese;fs, as we stitch the splice in such a
way that it cIanEaOs separate.

Satisfaction.

ter resigning the Office of Secretary Of

He says: There was no act Of mine
in respect TO the management Of the
Presidential campaign, either as to its
general scope Or as to any OF ITS num-
berless details, that was not known to
our candidates for President and Vice
President, and by them and each of
them fully approved before and after
the election. In the very nature of
circumstances | was forced to do many
things upon my own responsibility,
but in that entire campaign nothing
was done by me that was not hea lily
sanctioned by General Garfield and
General Arthur. The only regret on
their part seemed to be that there was
limit to my physical endurance.

What difference there is in men
and women in wearing new clothes.
When woman arrays herself in all
her glory she parades the street a.
proud and as happy a. peacock She
wants everybody to see her and notice
her new clothes When a man pnts a
new suit on for the first time he starts
out in fear and trembling He as
sumes the air Of sheep thief, or wants
to wait until after dark before going
ont. He knows that all the smarties
in town are going TO say something
about his snlt; ask where the fire was,
pull and haul him around. and paw
him other distasteful, disagreeabe at
ttntions. He tries to look calm and
nnconcerned. and iaughingly receives
every thrust made at him, but within
he is a boiling furnace, roaring lion
and his hands convulsively clutch to
get hold of somebody's throat and
choke the wind out of>h;m.

The Carpenter.

Inc carpenter Is one of the strang-
est subjects that you ever saw. It'll
grows In interest the mortise studied.
When hungry. the carpenter can
dine If one of his j,ints, take rab-
o'1 plane for entree, and his plumb for
desert.
but the carpenter never deserts his
friends. He does everything on the
square
Though strong nan, the carpenter
cannot raise his frame without assis-
lance.
Here is another funny thing about
the carpenter-his finest work is his
iplane work.
he carpenter does everything by
rule 1t is rule or ruin with him.
With some men If you give them an
inch they will take an ell. The car
Ipenter, on the contrary, will not give
you an L until he has taken a great
many inches.
The carpenter never deals in fiction.
His stories have always a foundation.
! When a carpenter sells house he
sells cellar with it. The buyer is
also frequently sold.
/ The most celebrated carpenter I ev
er heard Of was the carpenter of Rou-
en-. You never saw hin but you have
seen the ruin of the carpenter, per.
haps.
J The carpenter is not much of FISH
] erman, but is fond of the angle.
) The carpenters voice is not frs
t rate TOR singing. He wants timber
However, he is accurate in his meas
ure, aud, if a boss, is careful to kee,
good time.
1t is a mistake to suppose that
carpenter ties his frame together wit
the knots in the timber.
E Let US hope that the carpenter ma
continue to build up in good charac
tier, and, if at last he should fall fror
his scaffold, may rope prevent hi
!. falling to- far.-[Carpentry and builo
