custody Of the Democratic City SOlici-

has succeeded in spending the most Of
his time al Dover this winter and has

Auditor who only holds his office at the
pleasure of the City Council, has spent
the winter also at Dover, lobbying in
favor OF police commission, water

that will create offices for ancient and
broken down Democratic politicians.

Two Church Quarrels.

Two very bitter church quarrels arc
raging now in Philadelphia, confined
TO two denominations. The Episcopal
church of the Evangelist is torn and
rent asunder by war between the
High Church ritualistlc rector and the
Low Church parishioners. The High
chu rchmen claim to have elected the
vrstrymen at the Easter election, and
HE Low Church party say that ifthey
did 50, they did it by fraud The
quarrel rag d so fiercely between the
contending parties last Sunday when
they assembled to worship God in the
beauty Of humility and holiness, that
the police had to be called in to pre-
serve order. What a miserable farce
such IL service was, what a glazing in
suit TO the Almighty. Verify the lips
OF such persons may move in praise
but their hearts are far from God.
The other trouble is in the West Park
Avenue NJ. f. church. The Off cial
Board usurping the appointing power
Of the Bishop, asked, rather demand
ed that Rev. II. A. Cleveland of Read
ing be sent TO that church as pastor.
Bishop Bowman in his wise discretion
saw proper to reject the application and
in his place sent Rev. Mr.. Carson of
West Chester, to be the pastor. This
has caused trouble and the official Board
has resi- gned in body and one half Of
die members have asked for withdraw
Al certificates from the church. Unless
Bishop Bowman reConsiders his action,
.he church seems in a fair way to be
broken up.
Such exhibitions of belligerancy on The
)art Of protesting christians set
bad example to those who are
'a!led worldly, and show that pro-
esSion of christianity is all tina, they
AN boast of. 1t would be burlr,uue
70 call such actions christianity.

Horse Sense.
New York Tribune. !

lNeW IrlDunel
A remarkable exhibition may be seen daily
at various points on several of the Brooklyn
car routes. 1t is never witnessed for the
first time without eliciting EXPLANATIONS of
surprise and explanations from the car con-
ductors that the animal has been doing the
same thing regularly for years. He is a
small gray horse-nearly white in fact
about 10 years old, and is driven to butch
RS wagon. Many of the car routes in
Brooklyn run double tracks through streets
too narrow to admit the pas age of the cars
when an ordinary wagon is drawn up at the
sidewalk: and it happens that this butchers
delivery route is through several of these
narrow thoroughfares near the ferries
When standing in a broad street this horse
pays no attention to passing cars; but when
IN the narrow ones he hears car approach
ing he waits until it is within few feet of
him, then deliberately looks around bows or
mods his head twice, turns in wide circle,
drawing his wagon after him, and after al
lowing the car to pass returns to his place to
await his masters coming. He never fails
to do this in the narrow streets, and never
does it in those broad enough to admit the
passage of the car. That he moves on when
he hears the car approach is perhaps not so
remarkable as that be makes a circle of so
great radius as not to upset he wagon he
draws. His driver pays no attention to him
when he is thus employed. This singular
performance may be seen many times re-
peated any morning Sunday religiously ex-
ceptedl in Main street, Brooklyn.

The Death of Robin Hood.
[st. Nicholas for June.l


All accounts affirm that Robin Hood lived
to very old age, and at last died by treach-
cry. He had a cousin who was the prioress
of a nunnery called Kirklees, and when he
was aged and infrm, and suffering from an
attack of disease, he went to her to be bled.
Robin was very sick when he reached the
gate of the nunnery, where he was met by
his cousin. Little thinking of treachery, he
suffered her to conduct him to room and
open vein in his arm. There he was left
bleeding. The door of the room was locked
and the window was too high above the
ground 10 admit of jumping out. He re-
NAMED in this state till the next day at
noon, when he thought to blow a blast on
his horn. 1t was a quiveriug and feeble
sound Little John was lingering about
waltz G to see his beloved master When
he heard the mournful blast he sprang up
and hurried TO the nunnerv He broke
locks and dashed open doors until he reached
the d or where Robin lay dying. He fell ON
his knees and begged TO be allowed to bnrn
Kirklees hall and all the nunnery; but Rob-
in said. mo, never hurt woman in my
life, nor man in company with woman,
and | will not allow such a thing to be done
now. But string my bow for me, and give
me it and broad arrow, which l will shoot
from the window, and where that arrow
falls there let my grave be dug Laya green
sod under my head and another at my feet,
and lay my bent bow at my side. for 1t has
always made sweet music for me-" This
request was complied with by Little John.
Te arrow that Robin shot fell under tree,
and there the bold chief was buried His
death was probably near the year 1900.

A Goo Story.

The Boston Globes "Young Man About
Town" tells very pretty little story of an
amateur dramatic performance by son.e
children at the Hub not long ago. A little
miss wrote the pla. presented, aud herself
acted he principal female part. The prepa-
rations went on ssimmingly, the Ii tie ones
keeping all kno owledge of the plot and char
acter of the piece from their elders. The
night of the performance came, and an audi
ence of parents and friends of a goodly num-
ber were pres ,nt. Unlike most dramas,
this opened with a marriage; the groom i'm
mediately upon the conclusion of the we'd
ding festivities started off "to seek his for
tune" leaving his bride behinds Act 2
opens ten years later, with the return of the
husband, who has been moderately success
full in his struggles for fortune. The wife
presides at the table with stately dignity,
and listens with well-bred attention to her
husbands story. "You have done well, -
she says; II will show you too that | have
not been idle" And tapping little bell,
the door opens, and French nurse, with
an infant In her arms, followed by nine
children, one for each year of married life,
enters. To this day the little ones are un-
able to account for the shout of laughter
with which this scene was greeted by their
parents and friends. But they all aver the
play was great success. It was certainly
most original in plot.

College Graduates and Journalism.

Providence Journal.l
1t has happened that the majority of the
best journalists in this country. if not in
England, have been the graduates of the
printing Office rather than the college. But
this has been from the fact that the avoca-
tion has heretofore not ranked in popular
esteem or reward with those which are
called the learned professions, and that few
er of the educated young men have devoted
themselves to it. In the change that is TAX
ing place, there is no reason why The advan-
tages of education and mental discipline
should not count, provided those who pos
sess them are content to serve the same prac-
tical apprenticeship that the graduates of the
printing office have been through, and they
cannot succeed in the profession or even find
a place in it unless they do. The prejudice
>agaiEst college -JUufnaIists will vanish as
soon as they recognize the conditions of sue
cess, and the profession is regarded like that
of medicine or law. as one TO be carefully and
laboriously learned. Those who have made it
the serious choice of their future life will be
apt TO do SO, and under these circumstances
we may welcome the increasing number of
intelligent and educated young men who pro-
pose to devote themselves to the honorable,
valuable and influential profession of jour
nalsm, assuring them that no part of their
culture will be lost in the general equipment
demanded, or the myriad special require
ments for its successful performance.
