RESUME OF THE CASE.
How Spencer Clay Was Tricked by His
LOrdship-The Latter's Career.


Lord Nevils criminal doings and the case
of Lady Tatton Sykes, slightly similar in
several respects, have caused much
gossip in English clubs and fashionable cir

in the Journal from time to time as they

interest, and that in one case the parents
OF a youth who had Endorsed Lord Nevilrs
unpaid notes paid the plaintiff e4OG00. Sir
Edward Clarke, for the defense, alleged that
Lord Nevill secured Clay's Endorsement by
a trick. Nevill according to counsers state
ment asked Clay to witness his signature
to family documents of a private character
these documents being covered by a paper
in which there We're Sits, where Clay was
asked to sign. The latter demurred and.

he was signing promissory notes. Clay tes-

made by Sir Edward Clarke. and said that
after the discovery of the trick played on
him he taxed Lord Nevill with it, where
upon Lord Nevill wrote and asked him to

Poker VS.. TheoIosy.

The faculty OF the Western Theological
Seminary of the Presbyterian Church. in
Pittsburg, is reported To have run down
the bacillus of poker in that institution
The accuracy of the reports cannot here be
assured but fifteen cases seem to have
been discovered, of which some were slight
and made quick recoveries, only four being
serious enough 10 require separation from
the institution. This is painful news. A
man may play poker sometimes and still
be a Christian and very good man, but
for a theological student who had been
caught playing poker to convince a faculty
of Presbyterian ministers that he was a
predestined preacher would, of course. be so
difficult that success in it would smack of
the miraculous No doubt the Pittsburg
faculty did well 10 discard those four. The
associations of poker so bad that there
is a fair presumption against the presence
in any ecelesiast of less rank than a bishop
of grace enough to neutralize the sinfulness
of the game. Theologians still i'm the pu-
pilliarN stage ought not 70 attempt 1t.
