@-The Christian Advocate, under the cap
ton "An Outrage on Decency," has the following
caustic and just comment:
"Neverin any sheet claiming responsibility have
we seen so vile a publication the New York
Tribune printed in its Monday morning number.
1t seems incredible that it could have found its
way into paper which supposed it possessed any
subscribers or readers with any sense of decency.
Think of such things sent into the homes Of the
Christian, read by wives, mothers, maidens, and
little girls For this there is no excuse. 1t re-
lates to matters the other side of the sea. Ca
bled across the Atlantic at great expense, it is
sent broadcast as matter of enterprise. 1t has
the correspondent who sends it says: II there
fore send a copy of it, which, of course could not
now be printed in the English press" To what
are we coming ?"
The above comments of the Advocate refer to
the publication of the proceedings in the Lord
Colin Campbell divorce case, now in progress in
England. Some of the Baltimore daily newspa-
pers have been devoting considerable space to the
testimony in this case, which disgusting far
beyond anything we have yet seen in the press of
our country, rendering the papers which print
them unfit to enter the houses of respectable fam
lilies. That such things should be tolerated in o
country like ours-the publication of such OBJ
senity that even the English press revolts at it
is entirely beyond the comprehension of the av-
erage citizen. It is disgrace to civilization
and reflection upon the morals and good taste
of our people.

liness this loving association of snow and grass,
and the wonder reaches climax when one sees
the "Jung frau"
The little town Of Interlaken lies upon level
stretch of land between two lovely lakes-Brienz
and Thun-second in beauty to the Vierwalstael-
lersee only. About these as about Lake Lucerne,
rise lofty, precipitous, verdure- covered heights,
with but few openings into the world beyond
Opposite the town, however, we noted as we en-
tered low and pointed cleft, giving, as we i'm
sgined vista into heavens blue when the weather
permitted, but giving just then vista into earths
gray-mists and vapors hanging heavily about
lake and hill. Imagine then rapture of sur
prize to behold through this cleft next morning,
outlined against heavens blue and bordered with
earths green, that glorious vision so fifty
named the youthful Bride" Beautiful any
mortal dream was she blushing softly in the morn
ing light, but glorious as spirit vision she ap-
peared when fred by the rays of the setting sun.
There are no words to describe the wOnderous
coloring that seems to be poured out of heaven
itself upon these snow mountains as the sunbeams
rest upon them in the various stages of days birth
and growth and death. wine- hued but trans
parent food streams over them, seemingly from
above, and through this the snow CLEANS ever in
undsturbed purity. 1t reminds one of the streets
that of pure gold yet clear as crystal, and we
feel that the scenery Of heaven itself scarcely
afford sight more glorious than this snow vision,
the "Jung frau" presents to the apprecative eye.

Mg- Hon. William A. Fisher, one of the Asso-
ciate Judges of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore,
has sent his resignation to the Governor, to take
effect January LIST. The only reason assigned by
the Judge for this unexpected action is that the
sedentary life which he has been leading since he
has been on the bench is beginning to impair his
health, and that by the advice of his physician he
feels compelled to give it up. Judge Fisher was
elected in the fall of 1882 having been one of the
nominees of the regular Democratic convention
and afterwards endorsed by the Independents in
the canvass known as the cold Judge movement"
He is an able and conscientious Judge and many
regrets are expressed at his enforced retirement.
1t is currently rumored in Baltimore that Thomas
M. Lanahan, Esq, will be Judge Fishers sue
cessor, although other prominent lawyer have
been named for the place.

rs Madame Patti, who sang in concert at the
Baltimore Academy of Music on Tuesday night,
stopped at the Hotel Rennert while in that city.
She received $4,000 for the single concert and
got besides commission on the sale of SEATS
While at the hotel she denied herself to every one
her voice being too precious possession to be ex-
posed to draughts of air or to be endangered by
the moisture that might come from the damp
clothes of visitors. The utmost care is necessary
to fully protect her, so that she will be in condi-
ton for her concerts. She very seldom ventures
out even in good weather. She always travels in
a closed carriage, and the temperature of her
apartments is attended to constantly, in order that
it may be uniform.

>The case of the young men Burke and
Kennedy, who were tried at Westminster for the
murder of John J. Curran, at Locust Point, Balti-
more, in October last, was concluded on Friday
afternoon, Sd inst, the jury rendering verdict of
murder in the second degree, at the same time re-
commenting the prisoners to the mercy of the
Court. They were sentenced on Saturday by
Judge Miller, and it would appear that the recon-
mendation to mercy had very little weight with
the Court, as they were each sentenced to seven
teen years and six months in the peritentiary, or
within six months of the limit prescribed by the
law for similar crimes.

re- The County Commissioners passed an order
this week removing the county deposits from the
-5s-kfng house Of John g. oittinsg a Co., to tb.
Manufacturer National Bank, corner of Balti-
more and Liberty streets. The Board says that
this was done at the suggestion of the Grand Jury
for the September term, which indicated that there
should be change, but of course not naming the
bank. Why it was thought necessary to make
this change we are unable to see. The banking
house of Cuttings & Co., although private insti-
tuition, is perhaps safe financially as any other
bank in the city, and, being centrally located, is
very convenient for the people of the county. Be-
sides, the members of the firm (Messrs. John S.
Cuttings and VIM. H. Bosley) are residents of Bal
timore county and are well known to our people
generally. 1t is asserted that the law requires the
county's funds to be deposited in a National
bank, and if this is it may serve as an explana-
ton of the Grand Jury's action in the premises.

town, in 1853, he has since made it his home, al

eign land) and spent large sums Of money in max
ing it an ideal country residence, surrounded by
beautiful grounds, Conservatives and all else cal
