A Journal reporter sat opposite two
young people,--thank heaven not Au-
gusta people.-at dinner the other day,
and had good chance to study human
nature 1t is said that the rudiments
of the pig in man betray themselves
when he eats, and the saying held true
in this instance. The couple let every
body know that they hailed from Bos-
ton, and amused themselves by saying
smart things about the food before
them and the restaurant in general.
They made so much comment about the
lack of gentility and style" that the
reporter watched them for points of
etiquette, hoping to learn thereby. He
observed that they laid their knives
and forks on the table, buttered whole
slices of bread and finally sat and
picked their teeth after they had
finished eating. Anything more edify-
ing than an unostentatiously fine young
lady picking her teeth at the table,
would be hard to imagine. If that Is
Boston style" most of us prefer our
Maine provincialism.

DIR. BOVINE: HERETO!

The rumOrs of some weeks or months ago con-
corning DR.. Borden Z. Bovine now seem to be
fulfilled. According to our special Boston dis
patches Of yesterday, he is charged with heresy
and is TO be brought to trial before an ecclesi-
astcal court The charges are five in number
and they relate TO DIR. Bownes views of the
Deity, Of the Scriptures, of the Atonement of
eschatology and of Christian experience as set
forth in his published works and teachings
which are declared to be contrary to the au-
thOrized and prescribed doctrines of the MethO-
dist Episcopal Church. DR.. Bovine although so
long resident i'll Boston, still retains his con-
nectiOn with the New-YOrk East Conference
and with the Brooklyn district thereof so that
the trial is likely to occur, assuming that it
does occur, in this city, which gives us cause
for joy.
For while we would not be, nor be cOnsd-
cred. in the least irreverent or fippant I'm our
attitude toward such matter, we cannot con-
ceal the fact that such trial offers prospect of
much entertainment, intellectual and other
which we would not miss for a great deal and
which we shall be glad to enjoy at home with
out having to make a pilgrimage to Boston
There is something in the idea Of pillorying
Borden P. Bovine as a hereto, or as a traitor
to MethOdsm, which-with all respect and
gravity-irresistibly appeals to our sense of hu-
NOR. The world has long known and hOnored
him as one OF its most profound philosophical
thinkers and at the same time one of its most
agreeable and fascinating writers upon meta
physical themes. Those who have been priYi-
legged to know him through social contact have
the added knowledge of a singularly pure and
lovable personal character, and a practical
Christian experience of the most inspiring and
convincing kind. To couple his name with
charges of heresy, of betrayal Of trust, OF out
rage upon his brethren of the Church, seems so
extraordinary as to be, in Euclid's word absurd
Nevertheless, if the reported prosecution is in
earnest, let lis have the matter well thrashed
out by all means We shall much enjoy seeing
DIR. Bovine put upon the stand and questioned
and cross-queStiOned concerning his religious
faith and his philosophical doctrines We as
sumo, Of course, that he will have what every
accused man should have, a trial by his Deers
1t would be diScourteous to doubt that his oc-
cuser is his peer in theological and metanhvsi
cal learning, so that he fully comprehends all of
DR.. BOwne's philosophical teaching and is COM
petent TO analyZe it with authority and TO refute
1t with conviction. Equally wrong would if no
to doubt that the tribunal before which Dr
BOVINE is to appear will be similarly constituted
of his peers 1t is the prospect of such a SYM
postum of intellectually as we'll as of shirt
ualty that is so engaging. and that makes ne
await the trial with impatient eagerness.
