ing and as they preach against polygamy
their doctrines prove not unattractive to
the people among whom they are promul-
gated.
THERE are symptoms of a revival of the
name of Don Carlos Buell. as a presidential
candidate. 1t can be said to his credit
that since tho war he has been engaged in
more useful employment than fighting over
the battles of the war or running for
Office.
A VETERINARY DENTIST out at
Bortzum, Ohio, proved such fascinator
that the wife of the postmaster, wealthy
landowner and merchant, the mother of
three children, handsome and forty,
cloped with him. Had he been known as
a doctor of horse teeth mayhap he had
proved less seductive.
SOME of the most illustrious patriots in
Mexicc's modern struggles for freedom
and progress have sprung from Indian
stock. and many of tho leading men in
the republic are Of that race. Nearly all
the eloquent speakers in the Mexican Con-
gress are Indians. The Mexicans arc the
best horseback riders since the Centaurs.
The Army of the Potomac reunion in
Washington proves not to have been an
altogether satisfactory affair and as the
glamour Of the occasion, evolved from it
by newspaper correspondence, wears off it
appears that the attcDl..n-r WAS 70
meagre as to mako the proprrisn ,:r presi-
dential candidates entirely too large for
the comfort of all of them.
The exports of merchandise during the
present year will'probably exceed those OF
last year by from s6O, 600, 600 to s75, ,OOO,-

against about $500, OOO,O 900 in the cores
ponding time of last year.
THE New York World lays it down rs a
matter of newspaper propriety that ''the
private, social affairs of club concern the
members only and the outside public has
no business with them.'' Obviously tho
new World has moro respect for the priva-
cy of club affairs than for those of the
family, inasmuch as the other day it gave
its readers highly sensational account of
the incompatibility of Oliver Perry Bel
mont aud his bride, without even the JUS
tification of divorce proceedings begun.
The man who makes the new New York
World should make his paper consist.
Two of the particularly devilish kind of
murderers which French civilization alone
can produce, after strangling jeweller' 8
servant girl in Paris in broad daylight,
robbed his store, made their way with
their booty into Belgium, and might have
entirely evaded detection had they not in
their abandonment begun to sell fifty dol
lar chains to the Brussels courtesans for
ten francs and exchange diamond bracelets
for kisses. Tho particulars of the affair,
making column and a half, have been
cabled to the Herald to illustrate that
there are worse criminals and stupider
police on that side of the water than on
this.
IT is seldom indeed that tho close of a
twenty tive year pastOrate finds the con-
gregation stronger and better satisfied
with their pastor, the preacher more Wig
orous and contented with his lot, and the
material and spiritual condition of their
relations challenging the respect of tho
outside world with more confidence than
at any previous time within such a quarter
of century's experience. Yet this is the
fortune of the Union Presbyterian church,
Of Coleraine township, which is arranging
to celebrate in a becoming manner the
twenty-fifth anniversary OF the pastorate
of Rev. c. w. Stewart, D. D., its widely.
known pastor, the record of whose useful
activity for this length of time is an i'm.
portant part of the history of the religious
and social development of the lower end.
THERE seems to be some rivalry among
the Philadelphia newspapers for the cor
respondence of such we'll known writer's
as ''Ramsdell," ''Gath'' and "Jo. How
ard" The patronage they receive has
spoiled them. As result tho readers of
the newspapers which pay for their letters
by the column, and apparently print them
without editing, have to put up with a
great deal of slop. Ramsdell pads out his
Press letter of last Sunday with Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech. 10. Howard relates
ad nauseana the tiresome and disgusting
details of the hangings he has seen and
reported, and Geo. Alfred warns up the
domestic scandals of the Conklings. If
these illustrious gentlemen would read the
Records Sunday New York letter, and
study the daily letter from New York to
the Ledger, they might improve their
style.
JOE MULHATTAN's yarn about a meteor
olite an acre in extent in Texas and the
still worse story of the fall of an aerolite,
in New York state, with two edged
sword sticking in it, are discounted by
some of the "actual facts'' related in con-
nection with the awful ravages of the
late Western cyclone. For example, at
