Leo Taxil, who has been one of the chief
organizers of atheistc societies in France, the
author of many anti-Christian text books and
the champion of the anti-clercal movement,
recently published recantation. His fol-
lowers were furious and summoned him TO
appear for judgment before the Free Thought
societies. His recantatiOn was denounced as
an infamy and a crime, the hall rang with
cries of "traitOr ~ and ''coward ~ and
he was expelled by aunanimous vote, leaving
the platform amid tumultuous uproar and
displays OF passionate resentment. The free
thinkers denied him the privilege of think
ing soberly on religious questions and revis-
ing his opinions when he found himself in
the wrong. They affirmed their own lnialli-
billty, and refused to allow him a minority of
one, the privilege of freedom of thought

From the Boston Courier.
When President Cleveland was asked to
appoint Judge Tree to a foreign mission, he
replied
"l'd just as leaf as not"
This gracious answer to the application was
received with profound bough,
"In making this appointment however,
continued the chief magistrate, lit is not to
considered by any branches of the judges
family that they have only to apply for a
position to be appointed"
Certainly knot" was the response.
"Then, guess, you can tell Judge Tree to
pack his trunk" said the president "You
expected me, of course, to appoint him." he
added.
"We knew you would" was the reply.
"Well," said the president was aware
that Judge Tree did not pine for the office,
nevertheless in such a position / am anxious
to see as our English friends would say, a
good man at the elm, and while I'm maple

Then the president retired to his desk with

It Might be Wen to reconcile Them.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Now that the Grant funeral Is over, it
would be well for the New York newspapers
to hold convention, and facilitate the labors
OF historians III the future by settling some
of the points upon which their reports were
at variance. For instance, was General Han
cocks horse bay, black or brown, and which
noble animal was taken sick on the road
the hero or his horse, that the general was
compelled to drive up TO the tomb in a hack?
Did General Sickles bestride a fiery charger,
with his crutches strapped to the ofl-side OF
the saddle, or did he ride i'm a carriage Was
General Sherman in barouche or coupe
Did Secretary Bayard wear a white hat un-
adorned, or did he mollify its incongruity
with a Grape band These are only few of
the minor points that we should like to see
settled In the interests of historical accuracy.
