Mistakes Corrected.

A revival is progressing at the Lutheran
Church under the preaching Of the Rev. W. W..
denomination. The services commenced Mon
day of last week. continued through that week
and are still going on.
Messrs Edtors:-W find the above paragraph
in our judgment, needs correction. The afore-
said w. W. Smith Is not a nainisler of the Luth-
erdn Church, nor Is he a minister OF any church.
he claims to DO a member Of the Lutheran
Church, but he has never been made minis.
ter by ordination, nor has he been licensed to
preach the Gospel. The Lutheran Church,
therefore. does not recognize Mr.. Smith as a
minister. and consequently the large majority
of her ministers would not commit the gross
error OF wiling Mr.. Smith to preach from their
pulpits. The Lutheran Church recognizes none
other than q regularly ordained ministry and
''evangelists" are not sent out by the church.
For the defense Of the Gospel and theLuther-
an Church, the Spectator will, please correct its
stat ement. A MEMBER.
The position, taken in the foi egoing article
by "a Member" is sustained by the action Of
the late General Synod South. at It's session In
weeks ago in the Lutheran Tisitor and in last
wexk's issue OF QUE CHURCH PAPER.-EdifoT.
The above, including the extract from the
SPECTATOR OF the 10th ultlmo. is copied by re-
quest from the Lutheran Church paper of the
2nd instant published at New Market.
In referring to the religious services at the
Lutheran church in this city, it is obvious to
the reader that the SPECTATOR was only no.
ting local intelligence proper to be reported
With the church relations Of Mr.. Smith we
have nothing to do. He appeared in the church
conducting the services, as is the custom Of
ministers, and in the absence ofspecial inform
alton to the contrary, 1t was natural to speak OF
him as q minister. 49,

Astonishing n Bobby.


must conclude this account of the people
on hoard the Pennland with an amusing story
told me by DR.. Eddy, of Oswego, about Booth,
the famous FISHERMAN of Baltimore Booth
was born in England, but came to America
when small boy. BE feels great fascina-
ton for the life IN England which Dickens
painted with such Skill He visits country

born within the sound OF Bow Bells.
Not long since Mr.. Booth went to Ascot
races and WAS suddenly attracted by two
sights. One was a typical English policeman
standing with helmet firm on his head erect
chest extended, hands close by his aide. From
this grand spectacle. symbolical OF the mighty
majesty OF the British law and order, the
oysterman's eye fell upon a sixpenny squirt
which an old woman was selling.
An idea struck him. Perhaps should say
an irresistible desire.
"What would 1t COST" said he to a friend
near by, "to I'LL that squirt with water and
send it in that bobby's eye?"
about c 10 note" was the laconic repl r.
In moment the squirt was bought and
filled with wafer, and in less time than it has
taken TO tell it the policeman had it full in the
eye. Had the heavens fallen the policem an
could not have been more astounded. He was
completely broken up. Mr.. Booth expressed
his willingness to pay any fine and was taken
before magistrate and assessed f5, which
he paid with great pleasure.

Exclusiveness at Saratoga.
From a Saratoga Letter,

A fact worthy of attention is the growth of
the English fashion of exclusiyeness, which
is one Of the phases Of the Anglomania with
which so many of our rich people have been
carried of their base, as it were. This spirit
has long been rampant at Newport, with it's
horde OF shoddy sn0bS, who have worshiped
and aped the manners and fashions of the an
cient but now on their -last-legs aristocracy
of Great Britain. It's appearance at Saratoga
Saratoga summer life has always been demo-
cratic and gregarious. The swell visitors.
with their millions of money and billions of
style, have always been content to live in our
hotels, though to be sure the demand has
transformed the comfortable but unpreten-
tious wooden inns, whose size was the marvel
of the last generation, into the vast palaces
of brick and stone and iron, besides
which their predecessors were as
lodges in the wilderness. Then
the leading hostelries to accommodate
taste for more retired accommodations than
the regulation hotel style afforded, built sep
arate wings, divided off into suites of apart
ments, with parlor and other family rooms,
bedrooms etc. Meals were served here to
those who desired it, but the guests generally
preferred the public table The system has
proved very popular and profitable, and has
no doubt done great deal to restrain the
movement toward cottage life in independent
dwellings in Saratoga. The cottage system
has made progress, nevertheless, and never
so much before as during the last two years
Now the cottage colony has become so large
that its members have their regular rounds
of morning receptions, generally with light
refreshments, and their social entertain
ments, at which the lines are drawn as rigid
ly as in the great cities.

/ Cutting is free man again, aud what
/ ever danger there was of war between
this country and Mexico--and it wasn't
very great-has passed. The State De-
partment will busy Itself now, doubtless.
with trying to have Mexico give up her
claim TO Jurisdiction of offenses against
Mexican laws committed outside of Mexl-
can territory. AS long as Mexico main
tains that claim there is danger OF trouble
between the two countries. AS the coun-
try on either side of the Rio Grande be-
comes more thickly settled the occasions
for enforcing that claim will increase. II
she insists upon the claim and attempts
to punish American citizens for offenses
against her laws committed in this coun-
try Americans along the border will re-
taliate, and even if there should not be
war at once there would grow up condi-
ton OF affairs which would seriously in
terfere with the increasing trade relations
of the two countries and endanger the
large investments which Americans have
in Mexico.
1t is not easy to understand the reason
for Cuttings release by the Supreme
| Court of Chihuahua. There may be
something in the laws of that State, how
ever, which requires man who begins
a criminal prosecution against another
in cases Of libel to follow it up with a
| civil suit for damages. That, however,
hardly seems probable. Cutting had been
sentenced to prison, and the impression
was that he could escape his sentence
only through a pardon, or a decision of
the Supreme Court that the proceedings
of the lower court were not in accordance
with the law. 1t has been stated, how
ever, that the Supreme Court found the
proceedings of the lower court regular
and correct. 1t certainly looks as if the
Supreme Court seized upon the refusal of
Medina to bring civil suit as a preteXt
tor releasing Cutting, who was becoming
a rather bigger elephant than the Mexi-
can authorities cared to have on their
hands.
Doubtless the Mexican authorities
aimed to do two things-frst, to get rid
of Cutting; ana, second, to leave the i'm
preston upon the minds of the Mexican
people that the demand of the United
States for Cuttings release had been
treated with contempt, and that Cutting
had been released because Medina, the
prosecutor of Cutting, would not stoop
to seek money damages for an attack
upon his good name. The masses of the
Mexican people, it Is alleged, think they
whipped this countryin the last war they
had with it, and, according to recent dis
patches from Mexico, they have an idea
that Americans are shopkeepers and
won't fight. 1t is pretty safe to say,
however, that the tMexicans who have
had occasion to test the courage of
Texans along the RioGrande don't enter
tain that opinion. ilo
