THE dodge of stealing the livery of
heaven to serve the devil in is an old one,
but Baltimore sharp is to be credited
with slight improvement on the original
racket, made by stealing the livery of Un-
Gle Sam, and warbling the songs of Zion
to accomplish his nefarious ends. james
Lee, with dozen aliases, made very
comfortable living until his arrest the
other day, by calling on the ladies of Bal
timore, representing himself as custom
house officer, and presenting bills of lad
ing for goods purporting to have arrived
from Europe. He just procured list of
names of ladies who made European
trip last season, and who would be in
clined to believe that friends now residents
there had sent them presents. In several
instances when the ladies would leave
their parlors to procure the money for
him, Lee would seat himself at the piano
and sing Nearer My God to Thee" in a
beautiful tenor voice. At last he struck
a house where there was sharp woman
and no piano. Sacred songs were at dis
count, and the jig was up. A policeman
happened to be within hail, and Lee got
Nearer My God to Thee" than he had
been for q long time, on the mourners
bench in the city jail.

THE democrats of the Sixth congress
sional district held their convention in
Freeport on Thursday. Great interest
centered in the proceedings as there was
spirited contest for the nomination
Jim Mcnamara, of Freeport a political
crank, had been working for the nomina,
ton for the past year, and he resorted to
every trick to gam his purpose, and was
defeated only after q persistent fight by
the respectable democrats Of the district.
1t took fifty-six ballots to decide the con-
test, when Hon. Thos. Butterworth, Of
Rockford, received the majority of votes
and was then unanimously nominated
Mr. Butterworth is known far and wide al
an excellent man who could represent the
Sixth district in an able manner. Hi!
close adherence to the principles of hon
esty and integrity in public affairs has
won for him the appe!lation of Honest
Tom" By selecting him as their standard
bearer, the democrats of the district car
go into the fight with the satisfaction al
least of knowing that their candidate is {
man every way worthy of the honor con.
ferred upon him, and if elected woulo
represent the district in congress well
By sitting down on Mcnamara cantine
ignoramus has probably been silenced, but
If not the process should be repeated il
heavier doses until he is completely sub
dued.

Condensed Longhand .

This is the title of 16mo volume pubs
lished at SO cents by Eugene BENEFIT, 1877
Broadway, New York. Ii is practical
work of value TO almost every one, as it
presents in concise form the theory of
rapid writing. The first chapter-the key
to those which follows devoted TO an
explanation of the principles upon which
the system is based. They are the practi-
cal result of continuous labor with the
pen, and seem to be simple and easily
learned, hearing a near resemblance to
those of Photography. The average
speed is said to be 100 words per minute.
This rate is less than that reached in Pho.
biography, but it is sufficient for all prac
tical purposes, and is as fast as most pro
fessional stenographers write. The ad
vantage secured is legihility, which ena>
bles Il writer to read his notes without
hesitation. The system is the embodi-
ment of the principles which are rccog,
nized by members both of the old school
and the new as the basis of the SWifteSt

mission as secretary of the treasury, and il
was important for him to qualify before
midnight. Gen Gresham had retired
but arose and accompanied Judge Adet
and Secretary Chandler to Judge Wylies
residence, where the oath was administered
Announcements Of the appointment were
received at the treasury department and

from New York
Gen. Gresham reached the department
shortly before 10 a. m. Wednesday, and after
a brief conference with Acting Secretary
Coon, entered upon the discharge Of hi,
duties. Being in bad health, however, he de
termined to leave the city as early as possible
and join the president at Secretary Freling
hysen's residence at Raritan N J. Witt
this object in view he called the assistant
secretaries into consultation and designated
Mr. Coon TO act as secretary during his alb
sence The presidents approval Of thu
designation was obtained by telegraph
The heads OF bureaus of the treas
ury were formally presented to the
new secretary 1t is predicted with the great
est positiveness that he will remain in the
cabinet but very short time before accept
ing the judgeship vacated by Judge Drum
mond, and that his appointment as secretary
of the treasury is merely a temporary one to
relieve the president of his embarrassment
With reference to the resignation of Mr.
Coon as acting secretary it is said tina
Assistant Secretary French has always here
tofore acted i'll that capacity. Mr.. Coon wa
also authorized by the secretary to sign ii
his stead all warrants for the payment int,

for disbursement from the public treasury
of money certified by the proper accounting
officers of the treasury. Similar authority
to sign warrants during the absence or sick
ness of Assistant Secretary Coon was dele

The Matter of Illinois Marriages.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Sept. rs The valid
ity in this state of certain section Of the
Illinois marriage law is about to be tested by
the supreme court in the case of Northamp-
ton woman named Allen, who sues for di-
vorce. She has proved drunkenness, deser-
ton, etc. but is unable TO satisfy the court
that legal marriage was ever performed
between the parties, The libelee, Henry B.
Allen is a weil-known spiritualist medium.
The iibeilant claims to have been married to
him by one of the Spiritualist lecturers, having
authority to marry under the laws of Hi
nois, which confers no authority to solsmnize
marriages in this state, our laws granting
authority TO marry only to justices of the
peace and elergymen of religious organiza-
tons Whether the woman lecturer, who
as this libellant claims, performed the mar
riage ceremony in this city, was a minister
of religious organization in being Il Spir-
itualist lecturer is the question. The de-
cision will lie looked for with not a little in
terest by many who are so unfortunate as to
have been married, or supposed they were
married, by n Spiritualist lecturer, whether
man or woman.
