From Kate EOote~ Washington Letter.
Mr.. Matthew Arnold spent few days last
week at the Arlington with his WIFE and
his second daughter. The older one, II will
be remembered, married young American
MIR. Whittredge, about year ago. Mr.
Arnold likes this country very much,
two years ago, to I've entertained largely
by the " Philistines," namely, Mr.. f.. T.
Barnum, of Bridgeport MIR. David Clark
OF Hartford, MIR. and Mrs. Letter in this
city, ana Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who is an
English or ScOtChman, bat who has, like
the others, made his own fortune by his
own hands or head. Mr.. Arnold has all
philosophic Eugllshman's interest in
the varied elements of life in this country.
He went to Arlington to get an idea of a
southern planters home, and flsttered him
self on his return that he had seen it; but
he was mistaken. The ideal spot is Mount
Vernon. The Southern farmer owning
slaves, kept them around him, and built,
besides the houses which were the quar-
tiers, house for every separate thing that
was TO be done on his farm. At Mt Yer
non these buildings are numerous, because
General Washington loved his farm. And
al the back Of the house, skirtlug the lawn
and its noble trees, are the two kitchens, the
weu-house, the spring-house, the buffers
house, the gardeners house, the meat. house,
the wash-house, an ice-house ard the great
barn with a lean-to roof, and the poultry.
yard, with buildings appertaning to il. Ar.
llngton never had the perfection of appoint
ments which distinguish Mount Vernon, and
1t Is saddened now by the long lines of white
head-stones which mark the graves of those
who died TO save the Union.

Wolfe And the Democrats.

Some of the Republican newspapers and
politicians who are more apprehensive than
they are. willing to confess of Wolfes can
didacy, are trying to drive Republicans
away from his support by raising the cry
that he is candidate in the interest OF the
Democracy and that the latter are nursing
the Prohibition movement for their own
political purposes. There heed not be any
misunderstanding or Misrepresentation on
this subject. The Democrats OF Pennsyl-
vania are not Prohibitonists nor for prohi-
bition, and Mr.. Wolfe's candidacy-if he
become the Prohibition candidate-will be
clearly and Enthusiastically his own, upon an
issue with which the Democrats have not
and will not profess to have any sympathy.
There is no double-dealing nor deceit about
them they are for a proper regulation of
the liquor traffic by law and an honest en-
fOrcement of these laws.
With the Republicans of PENNSYLVANIA
it is different many of them profess to be
for prohibition and in many sections for
years they have kept the promise to
the ear and broken it to the hope
OF the anti-liquor people. Now that
they must face the issue they want to
dodge it; and they raise the cry that the
Prohibition party is Democratic ally. If
the Prohibition people are sincere and
honest in their purpose to force their prin,
ciple as political issue they will not be
deceived by the device of their Republican
friends. AT the same time the Democrat.
will not try to deceive them.

more damaging suspicion is created against

sumo they will he influenced in the sena-
torial action by their professional employ
ment and if their own sense of propriety
does not withhold them from this the law
ought to restrain them.
1t u-ed TO I've said that some of the Judges
of our supreme court took and used free
railroad passes, which are violation of the
constitution, because they held that to re-
fuse them wasa sort of acknowledgment
of the correctness of the popular suspicion
that even supreme judge could not he
entirely fair between parties litigant, if he
had favor of large money value in his
pocket from one side to the litigation. This
was not. however, a sufficient reason for a
judge to take n pass; and we believe they
have all quit it. We hope so, anyhow.

LORD BEACoNsFIELn, in "ConingsoN'
called attention 10 the precocity ofgreat men,
and now James Sully, in the NiHeteeeh Gem
tury, after showing that exceptional capacity
is almost always precocious, proceeds to eX-
plain that the man of genius possesses from
birth finer brain than his fellows, just as
another man may possess finer constitution
or a higher capacity for seeing or hearing AT
a distance. Men are certainly born not only
with special vitality which keeps them alive
beyond the average duration of life, but with
a special freedom from weak places which
gives them an otherwise iuexplicable capacity
for endurance. A fine brain is as natural q
circumstance as a fine physique, and it is
quite possible that such possession may be
a condition OF precocity.
The commonly received theory is that
precocity arises from disease, or from abnor-
NAL development of brain at the expense oi
the physical powers or of some o:.e part o'
the brain at the expense OF the rest. That
some OF our most able men narrowly escape
being cranks appears a self-evident fact.

LANCASTER, JUNE "a. 1885
Lost on This Subject.

The moral which most of the news
papers find and point out in the recent
nasty Messaros case in Philadelphia is that
women should be very circumspect in their
relations with clergymen, and clergymen
should keep themselves above suspicion in
relations with women. This particular
moral is lost on the subject involved in this
particular case. Messaros is used to this
kind of scandals; he is the subject of them
about once year and seems to rather en-
JOY being advertised by some fresh sensation.
If he were man of ordinary delicacy of
feeling, or had congregation with proper
appreciation of his own character and
of the sacredness and elevation Of the office
which he fills, they would either have got
rid of him long ago, or compelled him to
avoid even that appearance of evil WHICH
surrounds him. If he is not an utterly bad
and thoroughly unprincipled creature, he
is at least very weakIand nasty one who
brings the ministry into discredit by his
association with it.
Its very plain that in the present case
: the woman is not fit subject for sympa-
thy. Her conduct under all the circum-
stances was far from that of a woman of
delicacy or instructive sense of virtue. 1t
looks as though she tried to trap the pas
tor and he was very willing victim.
This is not the first nor the worst charge
ever brought against this Greek preacher.
Within less than a year he was specifically
accused by responsible authority of
dozen gross offenses, any one of which if
proved ought to have deposed him from
the pulpit. He brazened them all through,
without any refutation, and fell back upon
vote of renewed confidence passed by his
congregation without any sincere investi-
cation of the facts. For their conduct on
that occasion his members deserve no
COMMUNICATION in their present disgrace :;
and no outcome of it is likely to carry
much of moral to them and their pastor
They rather seem to like the suspicion with
which his frequent equivocal positions sur
rounds him; and moraliZing is lost on
them.

The flying pair elOped in buggy. They

sufficient fOOthold for Warrington to stand,
so that the water only came up to the arm

too deep and the current too strong for
him to venture to reach the shore. He
held Alice in his arms for two hours before
they were discovered. The position was
made more unpleasant by the sun pouring
its rays upon them. Fortunately, when the
buggy was overturned, an umbrella was
thrown in reach of the young man and he
managed to open and hold it over the lady

CONSIDERABLE feeling has been caused
among those who had the sale of Gen. Grants

terious fashion books have been placed upon
the market at figure lower than the price
agreed upon by the syndicate that controlled

ret out the mystery, but to no purpose. 1t
was suggested that perhaps those agents who
were making phenomenal sales IN a circum-
scribed locality were in reality in league
with rate-cutting booksellers. However it
be, the public will be glad TO learn that a
break has been made in the price of the book,
for it was fixed at figure out of all proper

Among the prominent pew-holders in the

five months but still retain my interest in the
congregation. find that the women uptown
are inclined to believe Messaros innocent,
and to blame Mrs. COulston for the trap she
set ! could not see how a man could be or
would be so foolish as t. do all the things
which have been ascribed to him. ] never
thought MessarOs was a fool, but believed
him To be bright man, who had knocked
around considerable aud knew the ace

women are all with the preacher. Now,
do you suppose that after man
has insulted a woman that she would
permit him to visit her at her own house

not now like they were when j was boy.

gregatiOn, and the blow which this thing
has brought will cause all good people to bow

snug Fortune In the oId Country

Some weeks ago a letter was received at

to American in 1871. Prior tp the departure
of the two brothers named they had given
