Another distinguished name was add cd to the death roll, this week, that of Jus tice Lamar of the supreme court of the United States. His death, although sud den, was not entirely unexpected, as he has been III for some time. It creates a vacancy on the bench of the supreme court of the United States which MT Harrison may fill, but he will likely leave it to be filled by his successor. Justice Lamar was appointed by MT Cleveland.

The sudden death of Bishop Brooks at Boston, this week, will be sadly mourned by the whole Christian world. As clergyman of the Episcopal chnrch he is perhaps more widely known and more widely celebrated than any other; not only at home, but in England. He was in the very prime of life and gave prom ise of many years of usefulness. His splendid manhood was an inspiration to all who heard or even saw him, and his going has produced such q shock as is seldom experienced. Phillips Brooks was indeed a remarkable man and his powers were as notable as witnessed in his work out of the pulpit as in it. He knew no higher law than the gospel of Christ and recognized no command so binding as that which told him to preach the gospel and live as he preached. He was one of the most liberal men in the American pulpit, possessing the true re- publican spirit which recognizes all that is good and helpful wherever it may be found. Phillips Brooks was remark able scholar and theologian. but his faith was as simple as a child's. In the pulpit he was not terribly but fascinat- ingly earnest. He appealed to the best in his hearers of all ages. He impressed one with the thought which amounted to conviction that he was delivering the message which he had received from God, and his influence over men was something remarkable. What an influ- ence for good such life exerts on the world! What encouragement he has brought to the discouraged! His name will ever be honored by all good Chris tian people. "He being dead, yet speak eth."

The policy of the Consolidated road on the grade crossing question is evi- dently progressive and sound one. In speech hefore the New Haven division of the Order of Railway Conductors, President Clark of the Consolidated rail- road, in speaking of grade crossings, said Not grade crossing will be per- mitted to remain, for as fast as we go along the roads will go over or under the tracks. We shall either depress or raise the grade so that all the trains will eith- CT pass under or over the road" In the last four years this road has abolished 65 grade crossings and is still at 1t.

The Churchman.
1t is becoming more and more
plain hat the demand for closing
the Worlds fair, and even the
grounds, every Sunday is not sup
ported by anything like a general
public opinion. Certain religious
bodies-through their representa-
tives-have sent petitions or dep
utations on the Sunday business.
The secretary of the Society of
Christian Endeavor has busted
himself in the same direction.
But that is a very different thing
from a unanimous decision on the
part of all the Methodists and
Presbyterians and Christian En-
deavorers in the United States
that opening the fair on Sundays
would be wrong; or that if it is
wrong, and the fair should never
theless be opened, they would de-
priye themselves of its pleasures
and advantages every day of the
week. Nobody could live a week
on the principles which such a
decision would imply. Nobody can
find a single butcher or dry goods
man whose life, in every particular,
attains the ideal of Christian per-
lection. Moreover, the boycott, as
a method Of securing a pious re-
gard for the means of grace, is
very far from having divine au-
thority.
1t is as certain as anything can
be that the laws making Sunday a
legal holiday have the hearty ap-
proval and support of the immense
majority Of the citizens of the Unit
ed States. The law can make only
legal holidays and not holy days;
and a legal holiday is a very DIFF
ferent thing from a day of re-
ligious obligation. A holiday is a
day when a man is 80 far excused
from work that he may do what he
likes, so long as he does not inter-
fere with the equal and similar
liberty Of his neighbors. A day Of
religious obligation might involve
spending every waking hour at
church. 1t is the former of these
institutions which has the hearty
approval and support of the i'm
mense majority Of American clti-

II will be remembered that when Vicd
President Stevenson was c~anvassing
North Carolina last September he was
presented with the traditional left hind
foot Of a graveyard rabbit" the animal
from which this token Of good luck was
taken being captured, IL is alleged, in
the old city cemetery at Raleigh. Stew
enson got there" and this evident full
6llment Of the traditional good luck Of
the possessor Of a graveyard rabbits
hind foot has evidently struck some In
genious Yankee with an idea. A firm in
North Carolina, which makes a speciality
Of rabbit skins and handles thousands
of them every year. has received an or
der for 100, 600 rabbits feet, 'hind feet
preferred" The natural inference is
that this order means that rabbits hind
feet" will soon be ON the market as
charms. Who knows but that this an
nouncement is the forerunner Of q new

At the military levee given by
the Boston lancers in their armory
a few evenings ago Representative
Crosby from Worcester, was seat
ed at a table in the gentleman's
room surrounded by other men,
bers Of the house who oiiciate on
the same committee aud q party
Of other notables, all Of whom
we're enjoying one Of Mr.. Crosby's
stories. Mr.. Crosby said il was a
well known fact that he wore an
artificial leg, hat member having
been lost during the late unpleas-
antncss between the North and
South, while he was serving in
the naval department after retir-
ing from a long and faithful ser
vice in the army. His story, as
repeated by the Boston Journal,
was:
"Years ago, when 1 was in the
habit Of coming to Boston on bus
mess, I was, on one cold, wlntry
day, wandering down Sudbury
street rs best l could, when 1 was
aceosted by a seedy looking indi-
vidual, with all the airs Of a medi.
cal expert, who said: 81 can cure
that game leg of yours in just ter
minutes" 1 said "Can your" and
he replied, Eyes; just sit right
down on this c~urbstone, and in
just ten minutes you can walk
away a we'll man."
Mr.. Crosby said he persuaded
the crank to walk along to the
nicely furnished Office of a friend,
where they could work in the
warmth of an inviting CRATE. On
entering the Office the friend was
made aware of the condition OF
affairs, and of course made the
surroundings as agreeable as pos
sible so as to facilitate the hazard
Gus undertaking. Every thing
ready, Mr.. Crosby pulled up his
trouser leg, and the man proceeded
to rub the afflicted member for a
moment, without removing the
underclothing which hid the Attic
ted limb. Now the time had come
to apply the wonderful liniment,
and the underclothing was remov-
ed, and, to the horror of the quack,
he beheld a cork leg, and was
spellbound for a moment.
When he recovered he remarked,
"You think you are smart, don't
you?' which was greeted with a
roar of laughter.
Mr.. Crosby said in conclusion,
mid peals of laughter from his
friends about him, at cost that
quack several dollars before he
escaped from that Office"
