In 80 far as we understand the contro-

New York, we approve Of the Suns
course in exposing the bogus and fraudu-
lent cablegrams concerning Bismarck

We approve also of the smartness and

was done. We cannot approve, however,
OF the invective which the Sun has
heaped upon the World or Of the uncon-
scionable. unrelenting and fierce violence
of personal denunciation with which the
Sun has followed the exposures
We can understand why the fraud was
exposed, and we trust the exposure will

men TO expose paper or man who
does not publish the truth.
The Sun has made an awful example
Of the World, and with that tho editor, so
it appears to us, should have been

Il is this that we cannot understand,
why was he not contentP He ha,

The World and its business is too

RECENT LITERATURE.

When newspaper man writes a novel,
it is pretty certain to abound with Incl
dents taken from his own observation
This is evidently the case in 'The
Rectors Secret by J. r. Abarbanell,
just published by Ogilvie. The story
starts with the abandonment of a young
woman and her child in New York by the
man who had married her under an as
sumed name, and her determination to
end her troubles by a plunge in the
North river. She deposits her child in
a basket at the door of the Fonndling
asylum in Abingdon Square, and throws
herself from a pier. The child becomes
the hero of the story. He is adopted by
the Rector, who brings him up as his
own son, and only reveals the fact that
his parentage is lost in the founding asy-
lum when the young man is about 20
marry. The scheming brother of the
young lady with whom the hero is in love
learns Of the cloud that hangs over the
heros parentage, and instead of telling
his sister the true story, invents one that
sewers two fond hearts through several
chapters, The hero goes abroad, meets
a college chum in Paris who is also in
love, and who is about to be cut out by
an alleged Marquis. The two friends dis
cover that the Marquis is an imposter
who is wanted in America for various
crimes, and reveal his character very
dramatically in an English drawing
room. This is followed by the discovery
that the young woman who threw her
self into the North River was rescued
by an outgoing steamship, and afterward
became the wife of an English
nobleman. She tells her story TO
the hero, who thus learns that
she is his mother Meanwhile the wicked
brother of the yonng lady with whom
the hero is in love rescues the rectors
daughter from being run over on Broad
way, and is himself badly injured He is
nurscd backed to life, love and repent
ance by the rector's daughter, and con-
fesses all his wrong doing. The hero is
called back to America. He induces his
mother TO return with him. She does So
and meets the rector, the foster father Of
her son, and recognizes him as her first
husband and the father of the hero. This
is the "rector's secret" Reconciliation
takes place all around and love con
quers all The story is told in a direct
way that keeps the interest unflagging
until the end, and in the description Of
scenes and places, the author plainly
writes from his own personal knowledge

LOST HIS BALANCE.

Too much contemplation of any subject
TO the exclusion Of all others, will warp
mans mind, sometimes upset it. That
phenomenon appears in all pursuits in
which mental activity is manifested but
principally in those about which there is
the least positive knowledge and the
least tangible accomplishments.
Moral questions are more frequently
made the subjects of mental derange.
ment than any physical or tangible
studies where the facts are easily ascer-
tanned and the deductions from which
are liable to less doubt or specu-
lation OF this class of subjects
astronomy as applied to religion
is one of the most fertile in the various
forms Of mental arrangement.
Lieutenant Totten has been attacked
with the latter form Of dementia. He
filed for record at the clerks office in
New Haven the following document.
This is to certify that in return for 81
in hand this day and her affection always
in heart, the which Is mutual, and with
view to prevent any misunderstanding
as TO my wishes, | now and in presence
of witnesses make over and convey 10
my beloved wife, Mary Totten, all my
personal effects and all my assets of
every character whatsoever, to her and
TO hold in her name only henceforth
and this deed OF gift Is and shall be in
lieu of any will of mine heretofore made
and filed. And l specify that this deed
takes effect now and shall remain in
force until withdrawn, the which IL will
never be by my hand. Should, there
fore any Of the accidents Of life over.
take me or should l apparently disap.
pear, all persons TO whom this comes will
know that what we have my wife alone
owns, and may God bless her and unite
us in His own good time.
Lieutenant Totten is afraid the millen-
mum or some other calamity will rush
upon us before he is ready. Notwith-
standing that belief he has an idea that
he can forestall the impending calamity
or arrange for IT,
In explaining this decd and his action,
he says a time may come when some per.
son in your own family win be gone and
no trace of him can be found. He thinks
that disappearance will become common,
and that no one can explain them.
Crowds Of people will be floclSing about
the churches asking themselves the
meaning of the mystery.
Those vagaries are the imagln
ings Of a disorderod, disorgan
lied brain. They are not the re
suits Of proper logical deduction from
any facts with which the scientific world
is acquainted Lieutenant Totten would
scarcely claim that they are the product
of reason.
Any man may imagine anything Their,
is no bar, whatever upon the human
mind in prophesying what may harper
in the future When prophet travels
outside Of known phenomena and substi
tutes vagsries as the foundation for hi
conclusions he has all the unknown here
after to draw upon,
Lieutenant Totten has no facts from
which to argue that he, or any body else
will disappear suddenly and mysterious
ly nobody knows when or where. Mer
have never disappeared in that manner,
and nobody but Lieutenant Totteu
maintains that they will or can disappea
in such a manner, The only conclusion
possible concerning this matter is that
Lieutenant Totten has lost his menta
balance.
