The Sentence of the Rev. MIR. Tying.


In compliance with the ruling of the court
in the case of Rev. Stephen H. Tying, Jr., on
charges of violating canon of the Episcopal
Church, Bishop Potter summoned the reverend
culprit before him in the Church of the Trans
fguration yesterday, and there and then pro-
nounced the sentence Of ''admonition." The
sentence is mainly a resume of the case al
ready tried and the reasons why the court was
right and Tying, Jr. was wrong. 1t contains
good deal, too, concerning the good nature
and charity of the bishop himself especially
as exercised towards Mr.. Tying. There is an
evident effort to repel the charges Of vindic-
tiveness, personal feeling and ecclesiastical
despotism, which appear to have come from
some quarters both inside and outside the
Church but the censure, we observe, is not
very severe, and is hardly worth the trouble Of
recording. The extent of the punishment is
probably to be found in the fact that the
bishop approves the finding Of the court, but
at the same time assures the reverend convict
that he, the bishop, is ever ready tc sympa-
thize with him in his trials and uphold him in
every rightful endeavor to accomplish the
work given him TO do, to rejoice when
he rejoices and weep when he weeps.
With fervid blessing upon his delin-
quent reverend brother in the Lord" the
bishop then dismissed him, and this great
s'state trial. came to an end. We do not think
that the Rev. Stephen H. Tying. Jr. will suffer
much from the weight of his punishment, nor
will there be any necessity for him to secede to
the Ritualsts or the Methodists. Boggs and
Stubbs are avenged, and the canon law is
vindicated.

Scott, charged with and murder in firing their
business house here some months ago, and thereby

cult Court yesterday, and was continued on
motion OF the States Attorney, until next term. The
motion previously filed by the State in this case was
called up and argued by the State Attorney, who
said he thought the decision OF the Judge regarding
the degree Of crime charged was erroneous, and he
would not be doing his duty to the State II he went
to trial under such decision OF the court. He
stated that the facts In the even II proved did
not constitute murder in the first degree. and ad-
mitted the defen dants to bail In $4,000 each.

~ In reference to Grants position as General
of the Armies of the United States and the ap-
pontment of his successor when he resigns his
commission, the Cincinnati Commercial says that
the law creating the grade of General does not
contemplate succession. When General Grant
resigns the Office will expire with the acceptance
of his resignation. The highest rank in the ar
my will then be that of Lieutenant General, in
which grade Sherman has no peer. 1t will he
within the discretion of Congress TO determine
whether he shall be promoted to the still higher
grade, and it will require special law, as in the
case of Grant, to do 50. In that event it is prob
able that Sheridan would be made Lieutenant
General.

From the Phi!alel,it Lc gcr.l


In the case of Robert Grossly, aged ii
years, who died from the effect of poison
on Wednesday morning last, an investiga-
ton was held by Coroner Daniels yester-
day. The testimony elected the facts
that, upon several occasions, the lad had
been detected in stealing pennies from his
employer, Mr.. Lungren, and when ques-
toned said that he did so to get some
thing to eat that he did not get enough
at home, and appeared so terrified when
Mr. Lungren threatened to discharge him,
saying that his father would kill him,
that his employer promised to overlook it
and see that his father did not beat him.
The boy appeared to be relieved and went
home, when his father, becoming euraged
at him for some alleged misconduct, ran
at him with a cane, and the boy got under
bed the father struck himself on the
head with the cane, when the boy said ,
'don't kill yourself father; I will kill
myself" The next morning he was dis
covered to be very i'll, and his employer
was sent for, to whom he confessed having
taken white powder from a bottle mark
ed with a DEATHS head and cross bones,
which he had in little box, and that he
had thrown the box over the fence. 1t
was also in evidence that his stepmother
had said that two meals day, when the
days were short, were enough for him, and
that he had upon previous occasions been
beaten with whip or cowhide. His death
had all the indications of having been
caused by strychnine. The jury rendered
verdict that death was caused by taking
strychnia.

In these days of lamp explosions, it
would be well to heed the advice
which DR.. A Roeder gives relating to
the prevention of these, at times, dis
tressing mishaps:


How TO GUARD AGAINsT.-1. Fill
and trim your lamps smoothly with a
sharp pair of scissors, not in the even
ing near a blazing fire, or a lighted
candle, but in the morning.


2. Refill your lamps every morning
and do not attempt to light them half
or only one-fourth full; this will avoid
all possible danger from an explosive
mixture of Oil vapOr and atmospheric
air having formed in the empty part
of the lamp while not in use.


3. Do not walk hurriedly up or
down stairs with a lighted coal oil
lamp, particularly when only hall
filled or less; the violent agitation Of
the oil will drive out the vapOr, a cor
responding portion of air may enter
through the tube of the burner, form
ing an explosive mixture within.


4. Do not pass with a lighted half
empty lamp suddenly from a very hot
room into cold one, or to an open
door, where the cold may strike it
a partial condensation of the oil vapoI
within may take place, air enter to fill
the created vacuum, an explosive mix
ture, and an explosion the result.


5. Do not attempt to blow out the
light when in full blaze by blowing
down into the chimney; air and fire
may both enter the lamp vessel and
an explosion might happen, but re-
move the light by screwing the wick
down, when it will go out itself.


6. Clean your. lamps thoroughly,
taking out the turbid, sedimentary
remains at least once a week soak the
burner in hot lye to remove all grease
and SCOT collected about it, and see
that the wick corresponds exactly with
the burner, which will Obviate a too
free and easy communication of the
oil vessel with atmospheric air.


z. By all means do not r1youI
children or ignorant persons t58ttend
to the filling and lighting of your
lamps and handling cans, except you
have instructed them when, and
where and how to do it, and see your
self that it is done so.


s. Do not for Gods sake if yOU
value your life, pour kerosene oil, NJ
matter how good or how bad it may
be, into burning kindling, from an OF
can. The best and otherwise safes
oil will and must explode and destro!

PRUNING.-I have just been trans
planting a rose bush and learning
lesson. The plant was a strong one,
with some new branches starting out,
and with a few buds and flowers. 1
knew that these must be cut off if 1
would have the plant thrive in the
new soil; but while ] cut them the
rosebush cried out to me: "Oh why
destroy those bright blossoms, my
pride and glory,-that which 1 delight
in possessing and others delight in be-
holding? Why ruin those beautiful
buds, that I have been so many long
days and dark nights in preparing,
and which are just now approaching
perfection? Why leave me MANNED
and wounded in a strange place ?"-
And I answered: 80 my beloved, do
this that you may live, and grow fair
er and much more luxuriant than be-
FORE" Just so we human creatures
cry out under Gods pruning hand
when our hopes are cut off. And if
we listen, thus may we hear Him
answer us: go my beloved, do this
that thy soul may live"

Among the numerous inexplicable features of
the policy of the Secretary of the Treasury.
none has occasoned more surprise than his re-
cent acts in throwing several millions of new
bonds OH money market already tighter than it
has been for years, and when he has surplus of
some seventy millions of gold in the Treasury.
II had been supposed that the further issue of
bonds had stopped, and that national securi-
ties had finally set out on their final journey
toward par. Is the Administration determined
by sale Of bonds to counteract the argument
arising from the rise of Government credit
attending Grants election. Does it expect to
redeem its own character in history by show
