APECULIAR RELIGION.
Strange Revelations Brought Out In
a niH0rce Shit.


Divorce Suit.
CHICAGO, Jan. ga divorce case coming
up in Judge Tuley's court to-day occasioned
some rather sensational developments. Mrs.
Laura NJ Wentworth, a pretty young woman
of twenty-five, sues for divorce from Sidney
7. Wentworth, aged forty-two, on the ground
Of cruelty and adultery She alleges Went
worth to be member of peculiar sect
styling themselves the 'Beekmanites' and
gave some highly sensational testimony
going to show that its expounders are free
lovers and entirely disregard the marriage
laws Several members of the sect were in
the court and denounced Mrs. Wentworth's
charge of free love in their creed. The full
ecclesiastical title of the Sect which num-
bers eighty-two, is ''The Church of the First
Born of the Redeemer in Heaven and Glo1i-
fed upon Earth According to Rev. Mr.
Schwainfurth their preacher, they believe
Christ came the second time in the person of
Mrs Dora Beekman, who died two years
ago at Byron, ILL.,, the headquarters of the
sect Mrs Wentworth said that in 1876
Mrs. Beekman. who was the wife of Con-
gregational minister, announced herself to
be enciente with the infant Jesus on his sec
ond coming. There being no birth she then
claimed to be Christ herself and her follow
ers believed it. Some weeks since, as Mrs.
Wentworth alleges, she attended one of their
gatherings at Byron and her suspicious
were then confirmed. The meeting was held
in a private house. The preacher wore no
robes, much less the congregation, who all
appeared to each other clothed in natures
raiment only. At nightfall they gathered
into one room for repose. She charges Went
worth with infdelity with several of the
sisters on this occasion and also with threat
ening her with revolver for refusing to
join the sect. Wentworth is printer for a
firm on Monroe street and will testify in his
own behalf tomorrow

Eflerf Rea1ing.
Astonished Burglars.

\ Cleveland paper tells ihe story
Mr.. Spatford heard some one moving
in the kitchen, and opening the door
asked who was there. Immediately
two revolvers were presented at his
head with the command, "1our money
or your life!'
"What ~ asked Mr.. SpafarL, who
cannot hear very we'll.
"Your money or your life" repeated
the burglar.
so come now said Mr.. Spafford :;
"that'll do. | think you'd better go
away from here. Get out. | want
nothing to do with you"'
With this he gave the burglars a
shove, closed the door. and returned
to bed. This strange conduct so puz-
zled the knights of the jimmy that,
after consultation in the kitchen,
they left without disturbing anything.
AS memento of their visit, they
scribbled on the wall, "Well done, old
hoss.''

The Man of Genius.

Wordsworth's saving has often been
repeated, that many men of his aye had
done wonderful things, but that Cole
ridge was the only wonderful man he
had ever known. SoutheV, no ienient
critic, considered lis mind ''intinitely
and ten thousand fold the might
lest OF his generation" De Quincy
speaks OF him as 'the largest and
most spacious intellect, the subtlest
and most comprehensive, in my julg
ment, that has yet existed among
men, He answered to Hazlitt's idea,
of man of genius" Sir Humphrey
Davy ''looked to his efforts as to the
efforts of a creating being.' Charld
Lamb saw in him "an archahgel-
little damaged" Scott, Byron, Irving
Christie her North and even Carlvle3
acknowledged the magic Of his intlu-|
.ence. Arnold considered him the
greatest intellect that England had
produced within his memory. Hare
speakes Of him as "the true sovereign
of modern English thought" Sterl-
ing and Maurice and Cardinal New
man are agreed that he breathed a
new life into spiritual IDEAS, and deep
ened and freshened the current of re-
Iigious thought. Lastly, may be quoted
the striking testimony of Mill: NO
Englishman, Bentham excepted, has
left his impress SO deeply in the opin-
ions and mental tendencies of those
among us who attempt to enlighten
practice by philosophical medltation.'

Dang You.

EX- Congressman Gunter wao. during
tie war, proud and impressive officer.
He was not afraid of The enemy and
never sought chance of keeping out
of harms way, but it was wei! known
fact that the clanking pannply y and
turkey y-gobbler strut of var was to
him quite as interesting as the g 'ea'n
of the bayonet or the 'cannon's open
ing roar" In January, 1863, Gunter
marched his men from the northwest
down to the capital city. While the
men were halted on the opposite bank
of the river, Gunter went over into
the town, and while there, became
acquainted with several young ladies.
In the presence of these ladies he de-
cided TO make an impressive show;
and he told them they would be
cheered by his troops as they passed.
"Now, boys" said Gunter when he
had gone back to his men, "when we
cross over | want you to march Just
as gracefully as possibly can. \ party
of ladies will be standing on the hotel
balcony When | take off my hat and
shout Three cheers for the ladies Of
Little Rock, jeff Davis and the south

The men were not in a cheering
humor. They had marched through
many miles Of SLOW The peacock
feather to item, while it might have
been picturesque, possessed not that
great charm which turks around a
loaf Of bread and u place to sit down.
Just before arriving opposite the hotel
on the balcony of which the ladies
stood, one Of the officers said
"Boys. we've got enough of this
foolishness. Don't open your mouth
Pass it along the line
The word was passed along Gun
took off his hat, waved it and exS
ed "Three cheers for the |
Little Rock, Jeff Davis.and the
ern confederacy."
The men were marching.1
most zig-zag and slatternly
No one cheered Gunter q
his head and breathed an oath as
as a glow-line. Shortly after the sol>
iers pa >sed the hotel, yellow dog ram
into the street. Then the men yelled.
Gunter raved. Standing upon b
stirrups he exclaimed: "Oh, yes, dl1
you you can't cheer party Of lal>
but you can cheer a dang yal'ar d
dang you :"
Never afterwards did Gunter placd
so much confidence in his mer.

that the teachers are more overworhed
