A CLERGYMAN ON VACATIoN.-The Rev.
Mason P. Presley, of the North United
Presbyterian Church Of Philadelphia, says
that the custom of clergymen taking long
summer vacations has become not only an
abuse but scandal. He said in a recent
sermon: ut seems strange that ministers
of religion are alone those who insist on this
annus vacation. The doctor does not take
a vacation, as rule, because he is loyal to
the sick and the dying neither, AS rule,
does the lawyer. Editors do not 90 away
in the summer, or if they dc they leave be-
hind them the brain work that controls the
mighty arm of civlization-the press. III
the doctors and editors left there would be
no one to cure the sick or minister to the
needs of our intellectual life and if the re-
porter loyal to the public and to his duty,
remains and plod5 about in storm and in
rain and in snow and in heat, how much
more reason is there that those men who
profess to be Gods people and the embodi-
ment of everything good should walk about
in our midst in this season Of evil and carry
out the work for which they were ordained"

MR.. DULANY, by his recent suit against

in payment of taxes, profited to the extent
of his tax bill, amounting to 1926, and s252 in
cash and still has his 1885 in coupons to
offer in payment Of other taxes. There are
numerous suits of similar character against
the State, Mr.. Royal alone having fifty odd,
and as they all must be decided the same
way, the prospect for speedy reduction OF
taxes is by no means favorable. Why the
State should persist in its costly and crazy

arm ard horribly mangled the limb. The
cider boy, Hermann, was bending over the

Ohe piece of the metal or substance in the
bomb struck his face above the jaw near
the chin and passing through his mouth,
went out through his cheek, leaving two
large backened holes Two other pieces
struck his lefs arm, making very ugly
wounds The explosion was of so fearful a
nature as to leave no doubt of the deadly
character Of the object thus thrown into the

or cart to drive over. 1t was evidently
filled with dynamite and is supposed TO
have been thrown in the alley by anarchists.
