PRESBYTERIAN Whiskers.

New York Tribune: A paper in this
city the other day spoke of a certain
distinguished clergyman as having
Presbyterian whiskers. / am unable TO
describe such whiskers exactly, but |
am under the impression that they are
side WHISPERS set pretty well back on
the face, and having no connection with
the mustache. Indeed | don't know but
the mustache should be shaved to bring
out the beauties OF the idea OF Presby-
terian whiskers. The Methodist type
of hirsute adornment is somewhat diff
%ferent, consisting OF a full beard, well
trimmed, and with no mustache. 1t
used to be so that you could nearly
always tell a Methodist parson by look
ing at his beard; but alas. those good
old days are gone, and you a now see
Methodist clergymen with fashionably
trimmed boards and mustaches, so
that it is difficult to tell them
from Wall street brokers. In the
Protestant Episcopal chul1h these are
different types of face adornment. The
Anglo-C Catholic priest is shaven and
shorn, Just like his Roman Catholic
brother. BY the way, one reason for
this regulation, l believe, is that it en-
ables the officiating clergyman to par
| take Of the holy communion more de.
| Gently and reverently. The broad
| churchman doesn't cultivate any type
| of whiskers, but follows whatever fash
ion best suits his physiognomy. The low
| churchman used to cultivate the Pres,
| byterian style of whiskers, the objec'
being to make the whiskers as silky
and ethereal looking as possible, while
at the same time a special effort was
made to have the face soft and of 8
bloodless white. AS the o~ld-fashionet
evangelism c~lergymen were men o
s~ingularly pure lives and given to NJ
excuses OF any kind they general!
look that way. The effect Of al
this was enhanced by the higl
silk hat, clerical dress and whit

choker which they habitually wore,
There are queer Inconsistencies in. HUI
man nature. These men spent their
lives im. denouncing the Journalism of
Rome, aud III this, as in other things,
they adopted a most rigid formalisfh.
But perhaps each man consoled himself
with the reflection that he was his own
pope. The High Churchmap doesn't
run so much to peculiar styles In whisk-
ers as to AngIicanism in dress and pro-
nunciation, and the cultivation of a dig
nified port, suggestive of the English
bishop. Sometimes they look very
pompous and ~forbidding; but at heart
they are good fellows and do q USE
full work for their church. A little
familiarity with them will rub off their
ecclesiastical veneer and discover
to be practical Americans with q rem
inc love of the democratic social system

A desperate attempt to commit a
criminal assault occurred in Denison
Monday night between 8 and 10 o'clock.
The Gregory residence is situated in a
quiet neighborhoou near west Denison,
near the public school building. 1t is a
cosy, retired place partly surrounded
by trees, and is occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Gregory and their beautiful and
interesting daughters, the Misses
Shope. Aggie, the elder, is seventeen,
and her sister Kate fifteen years of age.
The young ladies occupied a room in
the second story, fronting the south, a
window opening out to a porch roof.
Shortly after retiring Miss Aggie
thought she saw adark object fit across
the window, but on investigation
saw nothing and her fears
were not excited. A little later
she saw the outlines of a man between
her and the window, and the figure
sprang to her side. AS she attempted
to shrek the william forced a handker-
chief, saturated with ~chloroform, into
her throat. She struggled violently
and succeeded in awakening her sister,
who gave the alarm. AS Katie cried
NluTucEs HUI Nv Sl
turned upon her and told her if she did
not cease her outcries he would kill her
too" inferring that Miss Aggie was
dead, the chloroform having taken
effect. Mrs. Gregory responded at nee
to the cutlery and the william beat a
hasty retreat through the window,
without having accomplished his inten-
ton of o%utraging n or both of the
ladies. Miss Aggie was with difficulty
resuscitated from the effects of the
~chloroform, and her escape from
death was almost miraculous. The
circumstances point to de-
liberate attempt to make a
criminal assault upon these young
ladies, rather than IN effort to secure
plumber. Happily the ruffian was COM
pletely foiled in his purposes, although
he nearly added murder to the stains
Upon his miserable soul. He effected
an entrance to the house by climbing
the lattice work on the porch and re-
moving the screen from the window. In
escaping he dropped an ounce chloro-
form bottle near the porch. 1t was
nearly empty, had a glass stopper, and
a druggists label had been carefully
scraped off. Enough remained to indl-
cate that it was an Iowa label. Another
clue is the handkerchief which was left
in Miss Slopes throat. Other circum-
stances Indicate that the rufiian resides
in Denison, and all good citizens will
earnestly unite in hoping that the coils
of justice may tighten around the brutal
fiend.

The cases OF Rev. Henry belong and
w. @. U~tterback, the law and order
constables who were arrested a week
ago for the larceny of beer kegs and
bottles from saloons that they raided,
were called be fore Justice Biggs at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon. No evil
dence was taken in the cases, and they
were taken to Squire Schurz' court on
a change of venue. Squire Biggs was
charged with being prejudiced in the
matter, and the same charge is made
against Squire Schurz. 1t will be i'm
possible to take the cases to Squire
Barnett's court, as that gentleman is
subp9nad as a witness. He has been
trying the seizure cases of the league,
and it is claimed that he was sub
penpd IN the present case merely to
prevent the defense from carrying it

A delegation of republicans, num-
bering about 100 persons, went out to
Glenwood last evening to take part in a
ratification meeting. A very creditable
procession marched down to the So
depot al 6 o'clock to take the train.
The line was headed by Dalby's mill
tary band of fifteen pieces, followed by
goodly delegations from the Tippeca-
noe, Young Mems Republican, and Col
ored Republican clubs. Decorations of
the red, white and blue %abounded, and
the greatest enthusiasm was manifest.
