"Simony," says Judge Blackstone, is the
corrupt presentation of any one to an eccle-
siastical benefice for money, gift or reward
1t is so called from its resemblance to the
sin of Simon Magus 1t was by the canon
law a very grievous crime. Such saerilegious
culprits are punishable under the statute of
81, Elizabeth, c. 6, by forfeiture of two
years. value of the office, and incapacity to
hold office for seven years. (Blackstone's
Commentaries Book H., page 27S; Book ".
page 62) In the Book of Acts C. VIII. v. 8.
we read that there was certain man called
Simon, which beforetime in the same city
used sorcery, and bewitched the people OF
samaria, gtrinqg, out that himself ,cds some
on to state that as soon as the Apostle Phil
ip made his appearance in that city and be-
gan to work miracles, the pretentiouS and
willy lmposter pretended to be converted to
The Christian faith and followed the ApOs-
acles himself in order to be able to intro
duce the latest modern Improvement into his
own hunlbug. At last, falling to get salts
factory insight into the mystery, he had the
impudence to offer st. Philip money if he
would sell him the secret, expecting to make
it up cut Of his own customers. He did not
succeed IN making trade with the Apostle,
but he did get his name before the public.
Ii We are 10 credit current reports from
most reliable Democratic sources it would
seem that certain politician and State COM
mitteeman, in modest New England State,
has been manifesting himself in Washington
in the spirit and power of the ancient ssh
mon, by applying that old reprobate's re-
ligious methods to postoffice appointments;
for 1t is said that his recommendations cost
all the way from $40 to $780, 1t now remains
to be seen whether President Cleveland will
complete the parallel by repeating the Apos-
ties benedicti0n; "Simon, thy money per

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.

The plan of electing deputies by depart
ments instead of by districts was an idea of
Gambetta's, and the purpose he had in view
was the strengthening of the Moderate Re-
publicans. The first election under the new
system has been followed by very differ
ent state of things than he anticipated
The Moderate Republicans have met with Sc
rious losses and the Radicals and Conserva-
tives have made corresponding gains. Some
two hundred second ballots will be necessa-
ry, but it is certain that the Moderate Repub-
licans will be in a minority in the next cham
Der. 1t would not be correct, however, to
attribute this result to the change in the
system of elections. The real cause of it is
undoubtedly dissatisfaction with Ferry's
colonial schemes. The war in Tonquin re-
fiected very little glory on the French arms
and heavily burdened the treasury. This is
the first opportunity the French people have
had to express their opinion in regard to that
affair. What their view is is shown very
clearly by the fact that the party of the min
istry that instigated it has been sent to the
rear and with it NJ Ferry and his cabinet.
The change probable indicates no radical
change of sentiment on the part of the
4lOhSn PoopAo' ~ 10 w w lHuclPIctcu hIIu-
ply as cha tisement of the party which pos
sesses their confidence inflicted for its good
and theirs.
II is going to lead however, to some per-
picking complications The new chamber of
deputies will be composed Of the represen-
tatives of three distinct parties, each radical
ly differing from the other and no one of
them having majority. Under these cir
cumstances it can readily be seen that the
tenure of any ministry that can be formed
is destined to be exceedingly precarious.

Senator plumb and the Smallpox.


Washington Despatch to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial-Gazette.1
Coming into Washington, about the first
man CHANGED to meet was Senator Plumb,
Of Kansas. The Senator's face is pitted
from the effect of smallpox, though not to
the extent of disfgurment will tell you
how he came by these marks, and in doing so
| will tell tale of rare heroisn as it was
tod me by an old Kansas man who was per-
s0nally cognizant of the facts.
Many years ago, when Plumb had just
come to Kansas from Ohio and settled at En-
poria, he was poor and struggling for liv-
ing, as were most of the pioneers about him.
One day he drove to Lawrence with a load of
produce On his way he stopped at a little
town to feed his team, and while there he
heard that some Chic people had been there
looking for place to locate. and had passed
on, leaving one of their number behind, who
had been stricken down with smallpox.
Some OF the people had carried the sick man
out of town to shed and left him there
alone.
Plumb sent his load of produce on and
went to work to find some one to take care of
the man If it was found that he was still
alive He found at last man and his wife
living some distance from there who had had
the disease, and agreed to take the Invalid
for good pay. Plumb then could get no team
with Which to transfer the sick man, and
finally, in desperation, seized one that was
htched in front of store. He got away
short distance when he was Oyertaken and
the team taken away. Finally, after persis-
tent effort and pleading, and bitter denuncia-
ton of the people, he obtained a team and
drove to the shed and took the poor plague
stricken creature, dying alone of his disgust
ing disease in his arms, and drove with him
to the home selected. He left all the money
he had and promised more when he could get
it-for the care of the man if he lived and his
burial if he died
Then lie went on down to Emporia, had
the smallpox himself, and came very near
giving his own life as the sacrifice for that
of the poor stranger whose life he saved.
That is the story of how Senator Plumb's
face came to be poek-marked.

The New York Mugwumps who have beef

The New York Mugwumps who have been
making their campaign against Gov. Hill on
the theory that the New York admirers of
the President could in no way render him
better service than by defeating the Demo-
cratic ticket at the State election, are some
what staggered by the official declaration of
the President that he is Democrat and
desires the success of his party in New York
as elsewhere, and that reports to the con-
trary are maliciously false. The success OF
the party necessarily implies the election Of
Gov. Hill. The Mugwumps ought to have
anticipated that the President would not be
SO foolish as to break with his party the first
year after his election, as he would certainly
have done had he allowed the Mugwump
representations to go uncorrected.

Attorney General Garland is now thinking
of disposing of his stock in the Pan Electric
Company. He should have disposed of it be

The Democratic Cabinet is united in its OPP
position to American commerce and ship
building. Secretary Whitney delays the
construction Of the new navy and compels
the greatest American shipbuilder to surren-
der. Secretary Garland supports him in a
decision which viii etfectual1y put an end to
the building of government vessels by con-
tractors. Postmaster Villas arrays himself in
hostility to the steamship corporations and
steadily promotes the interests of foreign
lines. Secretary Manning invites proposals
for the revision of the tariff and paralyzes
the productive energies of the country. The
secretaries are all pulling together against
American industry.
