To the Editor of the Press.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Those of our citizens who have contributed
in any way to keep the doors Of the Mission
open must feel reioioed at the results of this
work, carried on for the purpose Of reaching
those whom our churches do not reach Last
evening many could not find standing room,
and the services were of the usual interesting
character:
Our benevolent people should see that this
institution should receive the financial support
necessary to carry on this purely missionary
work, which is doing so much good in our city
among the poor and ungodly, both in the
canse OF Christ and temperance. 1t is unaided
except by such help as is voluntarily contri-
buted. By so doing they will enable Mr.. Pear
son to commence his labors on the new year
uutrammeled by any debt. X. IL.

SOMERSET, Penn, Dec. 15.-Considerable
mored killing of Frank Polman, by moonshin-
ers, in the mountains where Collector Case
last week made his raid. The story goes that
Polman was wandering around thesmountains
and by accident stumbled on moonshiner's
distillery. The parties operating it, scared by
his threat to give information, shot him and
burned his body in log heap. A girl living
in the neighborhood saw the man shot and the
body burned, and said that the perpetrators OF
the crime threatened to snoot her if she ever
divulged the secret. She afterwards told some
of the neighbors, and, in order to convince
them, she pointed out a stone pile. in which
the charred bones of the murdered man had
been hid. A search was made by two reputa-
BILE men, and the skull, finger bones and a
number of the larger bones of a body were dis.
covered. Polman was last heard of at the
house of Mr. Barrone, where he took dinner.

Court.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10. = The Common
Pleas Court, No 2, to-day, with Judges Hare,
Mitchell and Fell on the bench, refused the
application for the admission to practice in
that court of Mrs Carrie b. Kelgore, wife of
Damon Y Kelgore, Esq. Mrs. Kelgore had
previously been admitted to practice in the
Orphans Court. She had passed satisfacto-
ry examination before the proper boards, but
Judge Hare, in refusing the application, said
the uniform rule and practice of the courts of
Pennsylvania was against the admission of
women lawyers, and he was not disposed to
take upon himself the responsibility of intro
ducing the innovation. Ii the people of the
State desired that women should be admitted,
it would be an easy matter to have q law to
that effect passed by the legislature. More
over, he considered that there are special OBJ
iections to the admission of married women
under the existing laws of the State, which
permitted them to carry on unpunished the
most glaring frauds. If the legislature passed
an act admitting them to the bar. he appre-
hended that the statute would be accompanied
by provision that they should be liable to tho
same extent as men.

First Importation of wheat.



New YORK, Dec. 15.-The Tribune's Lon
don dispatch says: Parnell's speech at the
banquet last Tuesday, considerably simplifed
the political situation. All parties, the ex-
treme radicals perhaps excepted agree in say
ing that party differences must sink in the
presence of danger Of Irish dictation. The
Standard offers on behalf of the Tories to
leave the Irish parliamentary vote out of ac-
count in any question of confidence involving
the fate of the ministry. The Times say the
constituencies themselves probably battle Mr.
Parnell's calculations by giving working
majority to either party over all sections, the
Irish included.
Mr.. Forester in great speech at Bradford,
Thursday, predicted the same thing, and even
the Daily News. Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, being
in Dublin, drinking health with Michael
Davitt, declares Mr. Parnell has effectually if
not permanently alienated the sympathies of
Englishmen and describes such leader as
never possessing any principle which he would
not in an emergency sacrifice to political expe-
diency.
The Spectator representing whatever is best
and genuine in advanced liberalism says If the
liberals are expelled from Office by Mr.. Parnell
that would be the last victory OF his malice.
1t deplores the enthusiasm of the Irish people
for statesman capable of deliberately sitting
this mean, vendicative i'd cal OF a nation before
his countrymen.
All journals comment regretfully upon Mr..
Parnell's vul gar abuse of Lord Spencer, Mr..
Trevelyan and Mr.. Foster considering, this
proves that the time may come when, in his
opinion, he will be obliged tosdescend to the lev
ell of Mr.. Healy and Mr.. Biggar in order TO re-
tain the leadership of the Irish masses.

cratic side until Tuesday when caucus of
Democratic Senators will doubtless be held to
decide on their action in respect to reorganiza-
ticn. The most trustworthy opinions expressed
are that the Democrats will not delay election
of the caucus nominees of the Republicans be-
yond the time necessary to deliver a few
speeches upon civil service reform as exempli-
fed by the proposition to eject Democratic
officials.

 There is the same grand view of Mont Blanc. Indeed, one feels how unchangeable are these larger. majesties of nature, and, in- deed, how imperishable that in the mind which responds to them.

The oalmnsss, the serenity. the purity, the everlastingness, seem to belong to something more than gross matter. And, indeed, they cannot help suggesting that, and become figures of such qualities as belonging to somewhat more spiritual than these masses of mountains or more eternal. To want to go up and see how life seems in such unbreathed and awful golitude is perhaps not so strange.
