CoNGREvE says: "Religions die but re-
ligion lives"
JUSTICE CHITTY, of London, was recently
trying case when large piece OF plaster
fell from the ceiling upon the canopy under
which he was sitting. " Fiat iuStitia, ruat
cnelum,' he exclaimed; and went on with
the trial.
REV. A. p. JONES, the preacher at Frank
fort, Sphinx county, Dakota, being absent on
a recent Sunday, his wife preached a sermon,
and the congregation now want the male
Jones TO stay away all the time or let his wife
do the preaching.
SAM JONES, the Georgia revvalist, says
he doesn't want to die for year after max
ing horse trade. He wants that length ot
time for solid prayer. Mr.. Jones says he
has been there. II would be interesting to
hear from the man he sWapped with.
BISHOP KEAN, of Richmond, Va, who is

De Witt Talmags said not long ago that
GOyn was the best preacher in the Talmage
family. Dr. Goyn's parishioners agree with
him.
REV. EDWARD EVERETT HALE SAYS "my
experience with schools and with the college
teaches me TO distrust all the mechanisms of
education. One comes back to Mr. Emerson :

There is nothing in the circumstances OF
the case to show that, If the crime was
murder, it was of any lesser degree than
the capital offense Ifcommitted by sane
man IL was done in cold blood or in the
commission of q felony, in either Of which
cases IL was murder in the first degree;
and the mere eventof no attempt to rob is
not sufficient to change the degree.
But it would be very like jury not to be
satisfied to hang johnson and yet to be
afraid to acquit him; and the judges
charge as quoted looks like an invitation to
them to take the illogical course and hand in
an equivalent of the Scotch judgment not
proved" 1t may be good thing to provide
for such an escape, but our law has no
such phase. The man must be either
proved guilty or 60 free, even though a
conviction of his criminality is general
and the minds of the jury so inclined. The
evidence must prove it beyond doubt, and
| neither court nor jury has right TO hedge.
The news comes of Johnson's con-
| yiction. 1t seems to have been effected on
| at least doubtful sort of evidence, which
would hardly have convicted defendant
| of greater influence, and though the public
will incline to think the prisoner guilty
in the absence of any other substantiated
theory to explain the crime, legal analysis
of the evidence hardly proves it of the
clear and convincing character that ought
to be required to hang men.

But while every literary man has his own
methods, that in which all are alike, is this,
that all alike must work, and work hard and
long, to accomplish anything lasting or

obtains in literature as everywhere else. No
work no worth. That is the universal, mex

The Blair Bill.

The unconstitutional educational bill,
fathered by Blair, has passed the Senate,
and the project of dumping T7,O0, 600 of
Uncle Sans money into the laps of states
for educational purposes, whether they
want it or not, is put fairly on its way.
The bill provides that the money is to be
given to the several states and territories
in that proportion which the whole num-
Der of persons ia zach, who being of the
age of ten years and over cannot write,
bears to the whole number of such persons
in the United States, according to the cen
sus of 1850 until the census of $3.50 shall be
obtained. There is a special appropriation
of %, 600, coo to aid in the erection of school
houses in sparsely settled districts, making
the total amount of the gift $4,000 GOO.
The scheme is TO last eight years, the sums
appropriated each year varying from Sl5,-
900 600 the third year to S5,000,0 900 the
eighth year.
On what ground senators can justify
their vote for this preposterous scheme II
would be difficult to say. If it is hung up
on the peg that Congress may provide for
the general welfare, the same argument
would apply to making good roads through
states.
The Southern states do not ask this costly
act of paternalsm on the part of the gov
ernment. Statistics show that they are

ties, and it is better that they should cling

IT has leaked out in the literary circles of
New York that the long-hidden author of
the " Bunting Ball " is Edgar Fawcett the
well-known society novelist of that city,
though the secret is still kept by publishers
and author as well as they can. IT will be
remembered that the publishers offered
$1,000 for correct guess of the authors
name, the money to be divided if more than
one hit upon it. The purchaser of every vol
ume had guess. Thousands seem to have
tried their judgment and there were 25s
guessed tho right person, so that each Of
them gets S3.S1. OF these one took twelve
guesses five had five one had four and
five took two chances. Some other names
than Fawcett's received nearly a. many
votes, notably Robert Grants. Most of the
successful guessers were from New York
state, though one of them-only one--was

Judge Clayton, OF Delaware county, is
reported to have said in his charge to the
jury in the case of the negro Johnson, on
trial for the Sharpless murder: "If you
flnd that when the blow was struck john
son was intending to rob Mr.. Sharpless,
then he is guilty of murder in the first de-
Gree. III you find that the man was killed,
that the defendant killed him, and that the
ducsndalt did not attempt to rob him, then
~ y guilty of murder in the second de-
ssoe.n
Certainly this passage as reported must
~ torn from its context. 1t is not reason
~ 70 suppose the judge would charge in
1hh manner without further qualification.

Washington society has been all in Iiutter
recently about the action of Mrs James
Brown Potter in reading George r. Sims
poem, 'Ostler Joe,' at a private entertain
ment given at the house of Secretary Whit
ney. Mrs Potter is an amateur actress and
one OF the leaders of society both in New
York and Washington. The poem which
she read undoubtedly teaches a great moral
lesson, although the taste which prompted its
reading before an audience composed largely
of unmarried girls is to say the least ques-
tionable. The poem has frequently been re-
cited in public, however, and Mrs. Potter
herself gave it before large audience in a
private house in New York, the reading
passing without criticism.
