 The Whitney, Emerson and Lowell calen- dars for 1886 have appeared and are unusual ly attractive, both for the fact that the writ ings of these popular authors are used for them and for the beauty of the calendars themselves. The Lowell calendar has DOT trait of the poet and view of his house in Cambridge. The Whitney calendar is print ed in gold and light tints. The design is em- blematical of the four seasons, represented by figures of little girls dressed 'sKate Greenaway" style bearing garland of spring and summer flowers. The color printing is excellent and shows marked advance over recent work of this kind. The Emerson cal endar is very attractive. The design is neat, comprising portrait of the author surround ed with the foliage of trees and flowers. The selections have been newly arranged and will be found valuable, each in its place, every day in the year. Houghton, Mifflin & Co.,, publishers, Boston. For sale in this city by H. H. Peck.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Since reading the reports of the proceed stall the Rev. Dr. Munger, as published i4 the local papers, have been greatly s3s loss to decide whether they have desired to exalt the individual or lower the standard of the ministerial profession. In the columns of these papers find myself honored with the title of '8Rev. ;" and am accredited with be- ing the ''pastor of the church in West Ha- ven, and also of having been rejected from the council. While being duly grateful for these undeserved honors, I will say that was elected delegate to that council by the church in West Haven, and so far from be- ing rejected was present during the entire session. I have never before borne the title of ''Rev." nor been given the place of one of the best and most be- loved pastors of Connecticut. Moreover, my ministerial experience has not been so extensive that 1 can say with President Porter that have been rejected from an ec- clesiastical council the ground of non installation. It is surprising that all the To- cal papers, with one exception, have made me prematurely gentleman of cloth, and I hasten to relieve the mind of the commu- nity at large, and especially of the good peo- pie of West Haven.

She Gave Him Time.
From the Rochester Herald.

 Just before the arrival of the flyer" last evening an elegantly clad young lady, who was also quite pretty, was noticed sitting near window in the station. She occasion ally cast her eyes in a modest way at trav- cling man who strolled past with noticeable regularity. The travelling man also gazed and his glances were full of admiration. He finally stopped and they entered into con versation. As they chatted the young mans hand unconsciously stole under the wrap and clasped in tender embrace the shapely fin gers it concealed. The young lady turned her head leisurely towards the captivating young drummer, and said in dignified man ner: ''I am surprised at your action, sir, and presume I shall call an officer. But live in Syraeuse-I have been absorbing it's culture for years and hate a scene. So l shall give you just twenty minutes to move your hand from under that wrap"

accept it, and the bellicose parties met in place outside Warsaw. Both fired at the same time, but missed their aim. The dauntless Bradamente proposed second shot immediately, but the seconds declared "honor satisfied" according 10 the formula, and of course she had to defer to their rul- ing. Although it is not stated, I hope her adversary fired in the air. However this may be, he appears to have been moved by the lady's masculine courage and he rendered her formal and ample apology on the spot. She accepted it and the combatants parted.
 The trial of MT. Stead, editor of the Pal Mall Gazette, and his assistants for the al- legged abduction of the now famous Eliza Armstrong will probably be concluded to- morrow. The result is awaited with consid- erable interest. The greater part of yester- days proceedings taken up with Mr. Stead's speech to the jury. At the close of his long and able address, delivered with great animation and force, there was loud burst of applause throughout the court. The winding up of this speech was particu- larly eloquent. "Gentlemen of the jury" he said, eff in the exercise of your judg nent you come to the conclusion that you can take no note of motive, no note of char aeter, no note of intent, no note of the scope of the operations, all I have to say, gentle men, is that when you return your verdict I shall make no appeal to any other tribunal My lord has told me that the question of mo tive can be considered afterwards, if so be you return me guilty. Gentlemen, by your verdict I will stand or fall, and if in the opinion of twelve men, twelve Englishmen, born of English mothers, with English fath- CTS, and possibly fathers of English girls, if they say to me I guilty, I take my pun ishment and do not fiinch.n If the jury re- turn a verdict of guilty the punishment will be very light, but we all hope MT. Stead will be acquitted. A seat in Parliament will then be safe for him.
 The calling of ''worm-eater," or one who makes supposed worm holes in various ob jeets of furniture in order to give them an appearance of antiquity, was humorously re- ferred to the other day by Sir Charles Dilke, the late president of the government board. This does not, however, appear to be by any means solitary example of an unintelligi- ble- designation of a mans vocation.

The Priests and the Cholera in Spain.


 London Times Grenada Correspondence.l
 In no town are the disastrous effects of the epidemic more easily diseerned than at Gran ada. Estimating the population of London at only 5000, 900, an epidemic equally fatal must have produced in the metropolis no less than 10000 deaths per day. Would our burying grounds have borne the strain any better than the cemetery of Granada, where at one moment some 800 unburied and un- cofined corpses were accumulated in ghastly heaps? Entering Granada in the evening, the streets seemed remarkably deserted. Nearly every person bore some sign of mourning, and many of the wealthiest class es were dressed in the deepest black. On the morrow of my arrival the Te Deum was sung, and grand procession of the patron virgin elfcited an enthusiastic display of wild fanaticism. An image of the virgin, which is supposed by the ignorant to be endowed with supernatural power, was carefully con- siaasslSsi .i tarzkss were implored to bring out the image, for it's presence in the streets would assuredly suf flee to dispel the cholera. They, however, allowed the death-rate to reach it's maximum, and waited patiently until the number of new cases was so small that they did not  previous attacks. When it thus became evi- dent that the epidemic had reached it's last stages, Ia Patrona de Granada taken in solemn procession up to the cathedral In this manner the cessation of the cholera is associated in the popular mind with the ap pearance of the image. To render the con nection all the more clear, the statue was brought back to it's church in the Carrera del Genil after the Te Deum had been sung in the cathedral, and public thanks thus rem dered for the termination of the epidemic To make this lesson all the more effective, the procession, which might have been con cluded ill half an hour, was prolonged for four or five hours and late into the night. This supplied the pretext for the display of illuminations, fireworks, and the firing of rockets along the whole route followed by tEe statue. The people, many of whom i'm agined that they had been saved from the cholera by this very image, cheered wildly, uncovered themselves, knelt in the mud, and otherwise displayed the most fanatical frenzy. Among the educated classes this semi-barba- rous manifestation was viewed with feelings akin to sorrow and shame. This sentiment was clearly indicated by the nature of the questions I was asked concerning my own impressions, and became more accentuated when the local papers published an account of the archbishop's sermon

That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conceded question. To re- store it is an imp0ssibility, as long as people persist in immOr- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws.

 One of the fair maids of Rose Valley drove in single wagon and pulled up in front of a store occupied by well-known oat specula- tor. She gracefully alighted from the vehicle and inquired the price of flour. The pro- prietor was standing in front of the store in conversation with number of friends. He pointed to barrel of four on the platform aud said: "Miss-,if you put that barrel of flour in your wagon you can have it for nothing" It is known that the gentleman who made this reply is rot given to charity or liberal with his fair share of the world goods, and his astonishment and disgust may be more easily imagined than described when the fair maid of Rose Valley gripped the bar rel and landed it clean over the front wheel into the body of the wagon, took her seat upon it, and, thanking the merchant for his kindness, drove on amid cheers.

MT. Edward Atkinson wants the people of this country to eat more cheese. The ground that he takes is that the consumers of cheese obtain, at very small price, the nutriment which in other forms c n only be secured by the payment of a considerable sum of money; that is to say, one cents worth of skinned milk cheese is equal in it's nutritive qualities to about seventeen cents worth of sirloin of beef While the use of cheese article of food is much less common in this country than it is in Europe, decided change for the better has been made in this respect dur ing the last fifteen or twenty years.
 At it's last session the Pennsylvania legisla- ture re-enacted, with important amendments, personal property tax law that had long been dead letter on the statute books, and the effort to enforce it is meeting with much opposition. The law levies taxes on house. hold furniture, which the owner is required to appraise and return for all it is worth over $30O All evidences of debt are taxed each year three mills on the dollar, even though the holder may have slight hopes of being even able to collect penny on them. Money loaned or invested in any other State is taxed, although it may be subjected to tax in such States. The people are rebelling against the law.
