NOT MIsQUoTED.

President Herzer OF Concordia Luth-
eran College has hurried into print
with the statement that Mr. Roberts
misquotes Luther when he refers TO
the Reformer as tolerating a plurality
Of marriages.
VIII the learned Lutheran deny that
the expressed desire OF the Landgrave
Philip OF Hessen TO take another wife
caused Luther Melanchton, Bucer,
Zuinglius and others to come together
In solemn conclaye at wittenberg, for
the purpose OF considering the ques-
ton whether "for man to have two
wives at once, was contrary TO the d.
vine law" VIII he deny the historical
statement that these Reformers unani-
mously arrived at the negative conclu-
sion. and that the landgraye on such
authority took TO himself another wife?
The exact language Of the council,
quoted in History and Philosophy Of
Marriage, Is this: "The gospel hath
neither recalled nor forbid what was
permitted In the Law OF Moses with re-
spect TO marriage"
II Mr.. Herzer is prepared to deny the
testimony Of history, he viii perhaps
also deny the fact that In the Protest
ant world. high personages at various
times are said 10 have entered upon
morgsnatlc marriages, similar to the
one contracted by the landgrave after
consultation with the Reformers,
We need not add, that this is not
written In defense OF an Illegal prac-
tice, but merely In justice to the gen.
tleman who is said TO have taken I'M
due liberty with Luther The fact Is
that luther was one of the greatest

sPIOSKOP TAKEN.

The announcement that General
Warren has occupied splonkop should
indicate that General Butler Is about 10
carry out successfully the campaign
he planned for the relief Of Ladysmlih.
The object OF the attack, es explained
to the British war office a few days
ago was TO cut the enemy In half, and
make It possible for General White TO
cooperate with him. Brakfonteln
seems to be another point OF great
strategic importance. The second line
Of Boer defenses extend from Splon-
kop TO Brakfontein, and thence to the
hills around Ladysmith and south to
Colenso. II General Warren has oc-
cupied Spionkop, and General Lyttle-
ton succeeds in carrying Brskfonteln,
the British forces must be driving the
enemy back, and opening the way out
for the belesgucrod garrison.
Further details must be received,
however. before an opinion can be
formed as to the importance Of Gen.
eral Warren's reported success II
seems that he encountered but small
force OF Beers at spionkop, and this
would indicate that the strategical
value OF the point has perhaps been
oyerestlmated by the British generals.
Before long the dispatches from the
front should show whether the plan
General Butler has so carefully pre-
pared is successful or whether the
Beers have another surprise to be
sprung at the proper moment
One thing Is clear. The British have
learnt that their tactics. however
technically correct, had to be changed,
owing to the peculiar mode Of warfare
Of the Beers as well as the formation
OF the country. Their mistakes have al
ready cost them over 5000 men. With

GEN. BULLER's ADVANCE.
Boston Herald.

Sir Redvers began his turning move
ment on Wednesday Of last week, and
marched In a rather lelsurely manner
TO the northwest for a distance OF some
fifteen miles. crossing the Little Tugela
and then turning northward 10 Potgie-
ter's drift, or ford. on the main stream.
Gen. Warren's division advanced on a
parallel line 10 richards drift, a
ford about five miles above poteieters.
This long march was made without any
m0lestation from the Beers, a supine-
ness so unlike the enterprise which the
mounted infantry OF the burghers have
displayed on other occasions that we
can account for II only on the SUPPOSE
ton that Gen. Joubert was unwilling 10
extend his right flank so far. II was
certainly not for lack Of a fair OPP
portunity that Joubert RETAINED from

II did for several miles and containing
no fewer than 5000 vehicles, some OF

RATS AND THE PLAGUE.


In a lecture on the plague Dr. Man

said TO have declared that that epidemic
is to BE- feared more than deyasta ting

the assertion that the unwelcome guest
IL not likely to visit the centers Of west
EN- civilization, for he advises a war Of
determination on rats and mice as
preeaution against the spread OF the
disease. on this point he Is quoted as
follows:

Gen. Butler has reported the capture
OF spion Kop. The announcement that
the garrison was but small, and fed
on the entrance OF the British, would
make It appear that the Beers did not
attach great Importance to the place,
or a stronger effort would have been
made TO hold II. Gen. Buffers bulle-
tin further contradicts the many British
estimates OF big force OF Beers,
and shows that the latter are not
numerous A third feature Is that the
slow progress OF the advancing force In
FIVE days fighting from Wednesday
