EPISCOPAL CONGRESS-

The tenth annual Episcopal Con.
gress began its session in New Haven
on tn esday last. There were several
hundred clergymen present and two
thousand people. This Congress is
comparatively new feature in the
Episcopal church. 1t is not dele
gated body, but voluntary gathering
of members of the Episcopal church
Ten years ago, when this Congress was
first projected, it was regarded with
much distrustf by perhaps majority
of Episcopalians. for the reason it was
believed an innovation, and uHauthor-
lied by the standards of the Episcopal
church. But the Congress has been
growing steadily in favor, and all OPP
position has nearly, if not quite, ceas-
ed. 1t does not presume to legislate
or interfere with the legitimate BUSH
ness of the church; tits only intended
for an interchange of views OH the
leading questions of the times. What
the Congress does in session is not
learned from resolutions adopted. but
from the tenor of the addresses de-
livered ard the papers read. There
are some topics of much interest an
nounced for consideration the present
Congress.

1t may not be out of place after
brief mention of the early lawyers of
Ken0sha to notice the first suit tried
in the demolished old court house.
The first trial in the old, but then new
court house, was the Spring term of
the Circuit Court 1850, Judge E. V.
Wilton presiding. The court house
had been but just completed, and the
citizens were generally proud of the
edifice in fact they had the best of
reasons so to be, for it was probably
then the best court house in the state.
1t had four stately columns in front,
built of brick and mortar, which were
pl onounced of the Corinthian order Of
architecture the balance of the ex-
terror was combination of several
orders of architecture. The court room
was peculiarly arranged. The south
west corner was appropriated to the
jury the judges desk was at the
south end, in front of which was
small platform, elevated eight inches
above the floor, on which the lawyers
were seated. On two sides of the plat
form were semi.circular counters. for
the convenience of the attorneys when
taking notes these counters were so
arranged the attorneys on one side sat
facing the court, and on the other side,
when writing, with their backs toward
the court. The many eloquent adj
dresses to the court and jury on this
classic platform have never been
given to the world in print, and the
memory of them must necessarily
perish in the lapse of time, if not al
ready. At the northern end of the
room, at an elevation of ten feet above
the floor, was a narrow gallery. incon-
venient of access, which the pnnsters
used to say was best fitted for a chick
Ell roost. But it would be the height
of unkindness to speak disrespectfully
of The oldest court house, for it was
built in early times, when the county
was new. by few public-spirited citiz-
ems, without tax on the county. It's
here described for the curiosity of hun
dreds of residents in the county who
probably never saw the interior of the
building.
The first suit tried in the court house
was an appeal case from Justices
court. The case was John Bullen VS..
Champion |. Hutchinson and others.
There was a formidable array of law
yers; for the plaintiff, Towslee and
| Webster; for the defendants Evans,
Sharpstein, Lowell, Schoff. Stodard and
Head. This suit, although not involv-
ing very large sum, naturally drew
a crowd, it being the opening scene Of
the Circuit Court in the new temple of
justice. Each of the eight lawyers
managed to get off Il speech; each do
ing his best in giving evidence of his
skill in expounding the law to the court
and jury, as well as to. gain the favor
able opinion of the crowd in the court
room. 1t was in these several respects

THE DANCER OF CONTd G1ON IN
THROAT TROUBLES

The medical editor of Ba6yhood writes !:
A recent case within our knowledge. in
which fatal diphtheria developed upon
what had been believed ebe simple
quinsy, suggests few words regarding
the duty of isolating any case of sore
throat where there are other children
in the house. Without entering upon
any disputed points regarding diphtheria,
it is generally agreed that the distinctive
visible sign of it is its peculiar men,
branous deposit. A case may present
clearly the conditions of a common
sore throat" and subsequently diph-
iberia be Enthusiastically present. For
our purpose it is unnecessary to discuss
whether such cases are diphtheritic from
the first or become so. The point for
parents to know is that the sequence
of dangerous symptoms upon those ap-
parently slight is not uncommon, and
that it is better for them to isolate a
child fifty times unnecessarily than to be
neglectful once.
We would urge, then, that. if at all
possible, every child suffering from sore
throat be isolated until it is distinctly
convalescent. Physicians are. often en-
barrassed, in urging the isolation of
patients, by the timidity or suspicious
ness of parents. If iii such a case as
has been described the physician re-
comments the precautlon of : isolation,
the family, if of the timid type, is at once
thrown into a panic, assuming that the
physician really considers that the case
is diphtheria or that he expects it will
prove to be and that he is concealing
the facts, while really he is only taking
proper sanitary precautions.
Other persons, on the other hand, i'm
mediately interpret the physicians
frank statement of his reasons for iso-,
lating supposed simple case as an evil
dence of want Of knowledge on his
part. They apparently think that to the
properly educated physician diseases
are as distinct and as easily discriminat-
ed as coins of different denominations.
With such people the only course is to
strongly advise isolation, and to give the
reason for it, and to let them take the
responsibility of neglecting the sugges.
ton if they choose to do so. Intelligent
people usually are grateful for. the warn
ing, even if it prove to have been un-
necessary, and although they sometimes
chaff the physician as " fussy."

SPELLING SCHOOLS.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Spell-
ng schools, after the manner of those
of olden time, are likely to be fashion
able this winter, and already they have
been organized in many places" A
half dozen years ago these useful and
inexpensive schools, i'm some parts of
the country, were established in almost
every town and neighborhood. Not
only the younger people, but very many
of the middle-aged, greatly improved
their photography during those spelling
seasons, but have since lost much
which they then acquired. The SPELL
ing schools now come in OPPORTUNITY to
refresh the memory of those whose
business does not call for frequent
exercise of writing letters or docu-
ments of some kind. 1t is great
accomplishment for any young man or
woman to be good speiler. Many a
young man has sent written applica-
ton for Il clerkship, book-keeper or
situation of some kind, requiring writ
ing; the mis-spelling of a few words,
or perhaps single word. has defeated
his application for position. Many
young women for the same reason have
been unfortunate in the attempt to
secure desirable positions, which are
every year opening wider fields for the
employment of their sex. If the facts
were known, it would be found that
many young man who dresses well
and passes for genteel in society has
been rejected by the young woman of
his choice for having written her
letter expressed in unobjectionable
language, but having few badly SPELL
ed words. A young man who has had
the advantages of a public school edu-
cation and spells poorly, whatever his
other endowments may be, runs the
hazard of being rejected by a young
woman of taste and refinement. pcorI
spelling in such cases is an in
dication of carelessness and slovenly
habits. There can be no excuse for
these faults in a community where
education is offered free to all, without
money or price. and where all may OBJ
tain suficiency of learning for all
practical purposes, who are not too in
dolent to make the effort. Now that
the spelling schools, so common few
years ago, were suspended. it is pleas
ing TO hear they are being resumed in
many places. with prospect t, being
popular again.

One of the most severe wind ard
rain storms that has occurred here
this season prevailed during the entire
day ON Monday last. The raiT. came
down powerfully. and umbrellas were
of little use, for the fierce blasts of
wind turned them inside out, unless
great caution was observed. Lake
Michigan was furious; the waves roll
ed high and dashed the shore with great
violence. If any one had never seen
an ocean storm, when the waves,
fguratively speaking, ran mountain
high, or as the poet Thompson describes
lit:
I" The waves behind impel the waves before,
Wide rolling, fOaming high. and tumbling to the
ShOre.'
A scene of like grandeur might have
been witnessed by any one standing on
the shore of lake Michigan OH Monday.
OF course the action of the waves. as
usual, carried away considerable terri
tory at different points on the lake
shore.

Justice Taylor says:
1--WE are constrained to say, however,
that law which makes a misdemeanor

ordinarily punished a felony, if the
person guilty of the misdemeanor steps
beyond the line of the town, city or vii
lage of which he is an inhabitant for any
purpose, and infiicts punishment by i'm
prisonment In the state prison, or If i'm
prisone0 in the county jail, restricts his
diet to bread and water only, is a harsh
restriction upon the right of even vag-
rant to travel beyond the limits of the
place of his actual residence, and it is
not certain by any means that the pun
ishment by imprisonment in the county
jail for fifteen days, on a diet of bread
and water alone, is not a violation OF
section 6, article /, of the constitution Of
this state, which prohibits the infection Of
cruel and unusual punishment. The
punishment is certainly unusual, if not
cruel. The act is also subject to criti-
cism for its attempt to confer upon the
several county courts of the state, which
have only probate jurisdiction, the power
to try persons charged with this peculiar
ofense, such courts having no power
to summon and empanel jury for the
trial of criminal actions, as other courts
having criminal jurisdiction, ard
as consequence, in every trial of such
action in the county court, the jury
would necessarily be summoned by the
sheriff upon his own selection from the
county at large. **** We do moi
think the constitutionality of the act is
fairly before us in this case, and do not
therefore, decide that question. -.

AN ELECTION OF INTEREST

Probably the election soon to occur
in England excites more interest in
civilized Europe than any expression
of the people through tho ballot for the
last quarter of a century. Nor is that
election by any means regarded with
indifference In this country. By the
reform bills adopted the right of suf-
frage has been extended 10 over 1000, :
600 new voters. This new voting
element will constitute the majority
of the country; they are largely
landless people, and are not likely to
be long content with their situation
while the enormous extent of the deer
parks and lands. reserved for keeping
game, which might be brought under
cultivation and uti lized for the susten-
ance of many thousands OF the popula-
ton exist. There are 500 English lords
who have an average income of $780,
900 each. It may not be so easy to
dispossess these, for the reason their
estates have come down through a
line of ancestry. The statistics show
that the land titles have been gradual
ly falling into fewer hands. II there
be any remedy short of revolution, the
100000 enfranchised new voters
will find it out and apply the proper
legislation. There is not the danger to
be apprehended from this sudden adj
dition to the voting population of Eng
land which some have predicted. It is
not the letting loose of a mass of IL
literacy, but of voters, among whom
there are likely but few who cannot
read and write. Quite different will
be the new English voters from the
enfranchised colored people of the
South, or the illiterate white p0pula-
ton of the South. There is too much
good sense among the common classes
in England to apprehend they will do
anything rash. There are many
wrongs that need to be righted, but
moderation will probably characterize
the incoming legislative power.
