Prof. John +. Russell, whose resignation
OF his professorship in the Yale theological
seminary was announced last week, writes
us that that the statement that his retire.
ment had any connection with the Andover
controversy, or with any other theological
difficulty, is entirely incorrect" Prof.
Russell's resignation is explained by the an
nouncement made in Wednesdays papers
that he has accepted call TO the Mark Hop
kins professorshp of intellectual and moral
philosophy at Williams college, to succeed
Prof. Edward II, Griffin, who is to be pro
fessor of the history of philosophy and dean
of the college department at Johns Hopkins
university The students and faculty of
the Yale school part with Prof Russell with
regret, and the cordial feeling entertained
for him finds formal expression in resolu-
tons adopted by the faculty, wherein his
ability, scholarship and industry" are rec
ognized, and cordial hope is expressed for
his success Gin the new department of in
struction TO which by his natural aptitude
and his studies in the past he is so well
adapted In his theological views Prof.
Russell is in accord with the spirit and
teaching Of the late Mark Hopkins.

Corporal Tanner, the new pension COM
missioner, may. if he will, have some fun
with lot of letters carelessly left behind
by Commissioner Black. These letters are
from pension agents in all parts of the
country, giving reports on the political con
dtion of the various sections through
which they Travelled, and detailing what
they were doing for the reelection of Pres.
ident Cleveland There is precedent for
the public use of these letters which Gen.
Black himself furnished 1t happened that
his predecessor left a personal political
ter-book in the pension office, and this
book Gen Black used for all it was worth
politically, its letters figuring extensively
in Democratic investigations, speeches and
campaign books. Gen. Blacks correspon.
dence gives the inside history of his effort
to be nominated for Vice President and if
Mr. Tanner should follow his example and
print the letters, the public would have
some interesting reading.

The Oklahoma reaction has come even
quicker than anybody thought it would
Of the tens of thousands who only month
ago raced and elbowed and fought their
way into the territory, only few remain.
Their outgoing was almost as swift as their
mgoing, and it was a good deal less excit
ing and picturesque. Up t. week ago
only 1900 entries had been recorded for
town lots and quarter sections together
and yet there were 10000 quarter sections
to he taken up. The number who have
taken up farms with the intention of farm
ing in good faith is much less than 1000.
Four iifths of the territory is today unoc-
cupied, and people are still emigrating
from this boosted land Of promise. But in
spite Of the lesson there will be just such
another mad rush of boomers and advent
urers whenever another promising section
Of new country is opened up.

The Democratic papers. for want Of some
thing better for sensation, printed a story
on Wednesday that Secretaries Blaine
Window and Proctor had informed the
President that they would resign unless
their wishes were consulted more than
hitherto in regard to appointments. Pri.
vate Secretary Halford said, when asked
about this, that the President isn't in the
business Of denying newspaper stories, but
for himself he took the responsibility of
pronouncing the statement an ''unmitigat-
ed falsehood.' 1t is needless to say that
equally pointed denials were obtained on
inquiring at the departments in charge Of
the secretaries named.
There has been on exhibition in Boston
recently what its inventor calls the port
electric railroad, designed for the lightning
transmission of packages of any sort, but
especially of mail matter. 1t is claimed
that the system can transport the mails from
Boston to New York in less than one hour,
which would mean a speed of about five
miles a minute. The invention is based on
the fact that the helix or spiral coil of wire,
when charged with electricity, draws into
its embrace bar of iron or steel, one end
Of which has been placed near its centre
A series of helxes will draw the bar through
them at lightning speed Given hollow
bar, and you have fast mail and express
service for small packages Nearly 8, 5000,
900 letters a day, it is claimed, could be
moved from New York to Boston for thirty
cents.

upon the battery was the dust that accumulated
