though Solomon in all his glory, was
an old masher, and from what | have
seen of men being bossed around with
one wife, don't envy Solomon his

Imagine Solomon putting up for n few

glad you will sit down and reason with
me in rational way about some Of
these Bible stories that take my breath
away. The minister stands me off
when ! try TO talk with him about such
things and tells me to study the parable
of the Prodigal Son, and the deacons
tell me to go and soak my head. There
is darn little encouragement for n boy
to try and figure out things. How
would you like to have thousand red.

An increase in the number OF cases
Of typhoid fever in the city has caused
much activity in the sanitary bureau
DIR. Day, the sanitary superintendent,
gave orders in January that every re-
ported case OF typhoid fever should be
investigated carefully and made the
subject Of report by sanitary inspec-
tor. II was expected that the reports
would enable the Board Of Health to
explain some facts which have puzzled
physicians in regard to the disease
Many physicians hold that typhoid
fever should not originate IN the city,
because il is supposed to be communi-
Gated by impure water. Some physi-
clans declare that the fever is not
directly contagious. The reports re-
ceived up to the close Of last week in
dicate that most Of the persons who
were i'll with typhoid fever in this city
caught the disease in the country. II
is shown also that the fever is conta.
gious to degree not heretofore suspec-
ted by the sanitary officers. Some OF
the cases appear TO have been quite as
contagious as smallpox, although not
so fatal or repulsive. In some houses
several persons have caught the fever
from one patient by personal exposure.
One result Of this discovery has been
to increase the work Of the disinfecting
corps, as the sanitary inspectors now
consider il necessary to fumigate rooms
in which typhoid patients are found.

Senator Sharon, having been claimed
by Miss Aggie Hill as her true and
lawful husband, retorts by bringing a
suit against the latter for blackmail.
He denies that any marriage ever took
place to which he and Miss Hill were
parties and asserts that the alleged
contract of marriage which she claims
to have IN her possession is forgery.
He asks the Court to compel her to
produce the alleged contract, in order
that he may have an opportunity to
prove its falsity, and asserts that her
object in perpetrating the fraud is to
lay claim to his estate in case of his
death. Mr.. Sharon makes a good
many denials and counter-charges
which may all be true, but the public
will wait for the proof before accept
ing them at their full face value. 81
far it seems to be question of vera
city between the two parties.

A report of recent interview rep
resents Mr.. Beecher as suggesting
that the doctrine of retribution here
on earth is an excellent substitute for
hell fire. He says that when intelli-
gent persons find out for certain that
there is no chance of escaping from
wrong-doing in this world and that
mems sins do find them out society
will have found moral lever that will
control the violence of human nature
and make the old-fashioned bad place
unnecessary. In this matter the great
Brooklyn preacher does not speak as a
scribe or mere parson. He talks
right out of his own experience, and
his words have the force of conviction
based on fact. Wendell Phillips once
said chat with Plymouth Rock for a
fulcrum he could upheave the conti-
nent. So when the reformer of the
future grasps Beecher's lever and uses
Phillips fulcrum it may be expected
that the fondest dream of Archimides
will be more than realized and such
obsolete place as hell will be no more
dreaded than pair of dentists pincers.
But that's all in the good time coming.
For the present a bad man need not
feel too sure of escaping a touch of
genuine birthstone. At all events, it
is well enough to keep on the safe side.

NOT LEGALLY IN THE ARMY.

Immediately after Congress made an
appropriation for the army longevity
claim, officers of the army made inde-
cent haste to file their claims for set
tlement. Recent developments have
caused number of officers to regret
their haste. Accounting officers of
the Treasury have long been of the
opinion that some of the officers were
illegally in the army, because they had
been at one time dropped from the
rolls, and subsequently reinstated by
the President without confirmation by
the Senate. In settling these claims
an examination of the officers record
is made in order to find out if the Off
GERS are indebted to the government,
so that the amount due, if any, can be
checked against his account. The rec
ord Of ten officers, thus far discovered,
shows that they had been dropped and
afterwards reinstated without receiv-
ing rcappointment through the reg
ular channels. This being so the Sec
ond Auditor properly held that they
drew their salary when not entitled to
it. Their claims were accordingly
disallowed by the Second Comptrol-
H
ler's Office. Second Comptroller Up
ton recommended their reference to
the Court Of Claims, where they sent
and now await action.
The claims are those of Gen. Adam
Badeau, Col. Frank I. Bennett, Col.
Frances E. Lacey, Major B. P. Runkle,
Major w. P. Gould, Capt. Robert H.
Montgomery, Capt. J. A. Vanderslice,
Capt. Benjamin F. Pope, Lieut.. John
H. McBlair, Jr., Lieut.. Charles P. Mil.
ler, and Chaplain Vincent Palen.
Some of these officers are now max.
ing strong efforts to have their claims
withdrawn, being fully convinced that
the view of the accounting officers will
be sustained by the court. They state
that they would be willing to lose
their longevity pay rather than thei,
commissions. The Second Comptrolle,
has declined to withdraw the cases
and the officers are seeking through
higher channels to have the matte,
hushed up.
Secretary Lincoln approves the stel
taken by the Treasury officials. He il
of the opinion that these officers and {
number of others are not legally il
the service.

one subjects him to trial and dismissal

The PASTORAL letter Of the Catholic

der penalty of accommodation re.

The movers of the resolution which
came up from a Western diocese, to
drop the descriptive adjectives from
the official title of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church in the United States Of
America, are probably satisfied with
the number of votes cast in its favor.
They certainly did not expect to pass
it. But the proposal was really only
an expression of a general disposition
that has been especially manifest at
this time to assert more boldly and
distinctly tho historic claims of this
branch of the Church. 1t may be re-
garded by the outside world as evil
dence of broader and more catholic
spirit than can rest content under a
sectarian title. The character of a
church, however, no more than the
character of a man, is changed by its
name, and the General Convention
evidently thought that if the Protest
ant Episcopal Church had got along a
hundred years with its appended ad-
jectivcs it was not worth while to
worry about them now. 1t would not
make it any more a national church
to call it so, and the name will not
make it any less national church if
it can make good its claims not only
BY its past history, but by its future
life.

Counsel are again moving for the
release of Sergeant Mason, the person
who fired at Guiteau. The ground
taken is that the offense for which he
was condemned was not a military
one, and therefore not within the ju.
risdiction of a court martial. Judge
Advocate General Swain. in his report
on the case, made q recommendation
favorable to the prisoner, but it was
pigeon-holed, and no notice of il
taken.

The despatch General PRYOR to Lii

The despatch General Pryor to Liver
pool, for the purpose of defending
O'Donnell for the murder of Carey, is
a good specimen of the way in which
the money of the patriotic Irish in
this country is spent. A very large
amount of it goes in travelling ex-
penses of orators who want trip to
Europe. In this case the malversa-
ton really lies on the surface. The
only justification for the despatch of
American counsel to take part in
O'Donnell's defence would be the prob
ability that it would increase the
chances of an acquittal. But there is
and can be no such probability. 1t is
all but certain that the English courts
will not allow General Pryor to open
his mouth in court, because he is not
member of the English bar. If he
were PERMITTED to speak he would be
addressing an English jury, that is,
an audience of whose mental and
moral peculiarities he has no knowl-
edge, and whom his very appearance
and manner, and, above all, the cir
cumstances of his retainer would pre-
udice against him at the start. He
and his employees are probably both
we'll aware of this, and if he were al
lowed to appear, would expect nothing
from him but a stump speech about
the wrongs of Ireland, which would
ensure O'Donrells conviction. The
prisoners greatest misfortune just
now is his having friends on this side
Of the water.
