DR.. Tudor, the pastor, both assert that
if this color line were not main
tanned the work of salvation would be
interfered with. This act of discrimination has
aroused good deal of discussion, and in the de-
bates in the public newspapers Messrs. Harrison
and Tudor have come out poor second best
The following paragraph from the letter of one
of the writers upon the subject shows the temper
in which the matter is treated: with God, at
least, the soul of black person is as valuable as
that of white one. To the statement of Rev.
Harrison that this discrimination is made in the
churches of Washington, can give the lie direct.
l have lived in that city continuously for many
years, and know to a certainty that no snch fool
sh, twenty years behind-theage prejudice exists
in any church in the District, let the denomina-
ton be what it may. The absurdty of this preju-
dice is so apparent and so out of date that, in
addition to the published opinlous OF Rev. Nef,
Wilson and Boyd, there is very little to be said
further on this subject. 1t is, however, very
gratifying fact that such unchristian sentiments
are entertained by few, and that Messrs. Tudor,
Harrison and others of their stamp are in hope
lessly small minority
THE St. Nicholas hotel 513 to SIG Broadway
New York city, is to be torn down to give space
for three large stores. No hotel in the United
States has been more widely known. 1t was
opened in 1851, and was the most luxuriously ap-
point ed hotel in New York or any other city,
and for many years stood in the front rank, and
during the war made more money than any other
house in the city. But soon after that period its
business diminished, the Fifth Avenue and one
two others crowded into its place, and the tide
of fashion has been against it, and but for heroic
management it would have succumbed to the
competition. Since 1872 the rent of the property
has been reduced from time to time in order to
allow the hotel to run without loss, though it has
always paid per cent. on the valuation of the
property. The property belongs to the estate OF
David H. Haight. The lease Of the hotel, held
by Uriah WEIGH, expires next May, when the re-
generations of the premises will begin.
OUT in Ohio when minister's notified by mis-
flock that he is not wanted, he says he wont go.
The case of G.. W. Wessilus, at Norwalk, is in
print When invited to retire he simply turned
about, and stayed the more, called the people
names, and did sundry unchristian things. So O
council was called and the unregenerate clergy,
man was turned out of the minis try for his indie
pendence. Doubtless he was serving church oil
the character described by one of its deacons. He
was coaching candidate forSthe pastorship, and
said: s'If the Lord will keep you humble, the
church will keep you poor" That is the skeleton
that produces seven-eighths Of the church mis-
cry The pastor is fed on husks, and is expected
to give in return the bread Of life.
AT the meeting of the Democratic national
committee the seal of secresy was removed from
the account kept of those who contributed to the
campaign funds of 1880. Among those who con.
tributed money the following appear: Samuel j
Tilden, S51, 500; William H. Barnum, $4,000;
William L. Scott, $4,000; Henry 3. Payne, $780,
600; Oliver H. Payne, $4,000; W. j. Gordon,
$4,000. These gentlemen contributed S190,50O
and are the closest personal and political friends
of Samuel J. Tilden. By this revelation an acl
of justice is done to Mr.. Tilden, who has been
charged with Indifference regarding the Hancock
campaign, and Withholding pecuniary support. Sc
another misrepresentation of the greatest OF
American citizens falls to the ground.
AS spokesman upon the presidential question in
the Woman's Suffrage Convention at Washington
Miss Sallie Devereaux Blake said Edmunds
would not do, Blaine was but little better, Conk
ling nobody wanted, Bayard was brave but un
certain, and the best man was the sterling Dem
ocrat, Joseph E. Mcdonald. But even Miss Sal
lies praise will not secure the prize for Indi-
ana's favorite son.

GEO. ALFRED TOWNSEND says Of William Fl.
Vanderbilt that he has no imagination at all, and
that he almost takes the fancy out of one of his

all things becoming new. The last frame build
