JOHN CoRw1N aged twenty-one, of Middle
town, N. Y. aided by one Isabella Green, went
through the farce of a marriage with twelve
year old child left in the care of the woman
Green. The mother has rescued the little girl
from the clutches of these scoundrels. They
should be sent to prison, and the justice Of the
peace that performed the ceremony should be de-
prived of his powers.

DIR. PARKER, pastor of the City Temple, Lon
don, is not man of infinite tact. Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher might travel this broad land from
end to end without finding brother minister
who would dream of making reference in his
presence to "the dark clouds which formerly how
cred over his (the Plymouth pastors) head"
Mr. Beecher made happy response; but if the
natural man in him didn't rise up and desire to
floor Dr. Parker, he is not the person he is COM
monty supposed to be.

THE members of the Third Presbyterian
Church, of Chicago, who s'called" Dr. Withrow
to occupy their pulpit, are represented as being
astounded that any Boston divine could decline
such an honor. There is nothing so difficult of

fact that people actually exist who live else
where as matter of choice
THE effete East is no amateur when it comes
to lying. An anecdote is told by the Providence
Journal of "a little four-yeardold miss who has
been in the habit of making q daily visit to her
music teacher" It would be even more inter
esting than the anecdote to know just how long
this little four year-old has been taking daily
music lessons.

SPEAKING of the Presidents marriage, the
New York Sun is moved to say:
This forms problem that is both attractive
and profound. Why should an event which is
both beautiful in itself and deeply influential in
politics not also tend to promote the imitation of
the example it sets to the whole celibate world?
Why don't more old bachelors and young women
go and follow this examplel Where is the phi
losopher who will answer this question?
The best explanation at hand is that every
man fifty years of age cannot find a girl of
twenty that will have him. And it is not every
man of that age that wishes to wed girl of
twenty The conundrum is not hard one.

within few weeks, be the scene OF events
which will be famous years to come in
the history of religion in Georgia. Upon
this same hill, more than a century ago.
the first religious service was held, and

congregation in Greene county. In addi-
tion to the centennial services, the Au-
gusta Presbytery will hold its session.
After the regular transaction of bust
ness, DR.. Woodrow's famous evolution
theory will come up before that body.
The religious services will be particularly
interesting. Many eminent preachers
from all parts of the South will be pres
emit, who will discourse on various sub
jects. On Sunday, Aug. -, Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage will deliver a sermon. DR..
Talmage mas been to Bethany before-his
uncle having been pastor OF the church
in It's infancy. His presence will, OF
course, draw large concourse of people.
Preparations for this meeting are going
on at present. An immense arbor will be
constructed capable OF seating several
thousand. Let all try and attend.

From, the Iadtan Ricer tF10.) Sun,
We have to give it up. The toughest
mosquito yarns come from down the
river. 1t is told OF one OF the crew of the
steamer Rockledge, that after they got
into the inlet, when night came he went
to sleep In a stateToom, the window TO
which was protected by screen. He
had scarcely fallen asleep when he was
awakened by sense of sufiocation-the
mosquitoes had thronged the screen and
stuck their heads into the meshes till
they had excluded every particle of air.
He frantically kicked out the screen and
now be does not know whether he would
rather die OF sutfocatiOn or mosquito
bites. Another veraciOus statement from
below is that young man went TO work
for the first time on mis- homestead, pro-
viding himself with good sandy net
ting bar. The first night out he pitched
mis- tent, hung his net and went TO bed.
For three days and nights he did not stir.
The mosquitoes had so thlckly covered
his net on the outside that II was perfectly
DARK inside--he did not know when day
light came.

had jumped most OF the fences for forty
minutes or so, and both our steeds were
pretty well beaten, for the running had
been continuous without q check.l We
came to an awful obstacle, o a
high, thick-set hedge, so inipene-
trable that there seemed r no
chance Of knowing what might be on the
other side. There was but one little
apology tor a gap, and at this the EN-
