The Immorality of a Heard ?The Berlin correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph writes: Germany is, on the wbdle, a oouutry of rational as regards the adjustment of hair aud beard. Iu this respect, every man, ao a general rule, be be a soldier, lawyer, magistrate, tinker, or tailor, is allowed and exercises his full right of private judgmeut without any sort of inter? ference from above. But Herr Con eistorialratb Hegel, son to the great philosopher, has decided that the, hue must be drswn somewhere, end has, accordingly, drawn it at parsons, over whom alone be can claim any species of authority. A gentlemen, lately elected as pastor by some Lutheran oommunity, presented himself.a few days ago, according to law, for the ne? cessary rati?oation before Mr. Hegel, Consistorial Councillor for the pro* vinoe of. Brandenburg, who at ouoe refused to tender tbe oath to the appli? cant, on tbe ground that be wore mo u stach as. "Go homo and shave yourself," he.said ?ternly, "and then we will see about it." Tue clergyman, knowing his congregation to be equally attuned with hie .doctrines aud bis beard, i? as resolute in this matter as the 1 Oriental priesthood has always shown itself towards shearing popes, and the little Lutheran community re? mains without a pastor until the ques? tion oao he settled by some higher au? thority?the Oberkiroheuratb, I sup P )?e. This inoident has become a fertile subject for lampoon and carica? ture. One of the oomio papers gives as a sketoh of St. Peter under bauds of the barber. A colleague asks the meaning of this. "Why, you see," the reply is, "it would uot do to stuud ill with Hegel." The sensational story telegraphed throogh the country uwhile ago from New York, that figures gathered at tbe transit of Venus had developed the laot that the earth was planglng to? ward the son at a rate that would land us there in 1,400 years, did. not oause great anxiety at the time for vsrioos reasons. Our largest leases are only 999 years any way, and as this left s margin of 401 yesrs additional, the re? port produced no effect upon thu stock market, and so failed to distnrb our oents of security, so to speak. How? ever, Mr. Richard A. Proctor has taken the matter np, and shows con? clusively its absurdity, by the very simple illustration that if the earth had, during the last century, drawn one-thirtieth of her distance nearer to tbe sun, tbe year would now be eight? een days shorter than it then was. But, in fact, the distance between the Chaldean sidereal year and our own is not more tbau two minutes, whioh in? dicates that if ws have approsohed the son at all, it has been at the rate of about eight miles iu 100 years, aud even this is doubtful, sinoe tbe Chal? dean astronomera did not profess ab? solute accuracy. The Jaokson (Ohio) Standard reaches a rather superlative degree of partisan bitterness when, commenting on Lou? isiana, it says: "Louisiana is the far? thest from beiog e Republican State of any in the Union. She was e foreign province when purchased with the money of the nation. Sbe was a con? quered province when she had been subjected by the national arms after the Demooratio pro slavery rebellion. Sho should be hold es e conquered province nntil ell tbe Demoorats are Shot, hung or die e natural death." ? Dr. O. R. Broyles, an sgsd sod highly respected oitizea of Anderson, died on the 25th nit. paralleled, by that of two other Freoeb Coanmoniete, who reoaatly arrived at Qoeeaulaad in ao opeo boat, after en? during great hardship*. One of the refugees, describing hie escape, says that, having determined to free him? self, he confided his resolution to a discreet fellow-prisoner, who, after some hesitation, consented to share the risk. Oo the 8tb of December, short? ly sfter midnight, tbey quilted their quarters, ?wid, eluding the sentries, I tnev swam out toward a vessel lying at anchor, with a boat floating astsrn of her. After reaching it, tbey out the painter which attaobed the boat riding astern, and noiselessly impelled it away from the ship. Arrived at a safe distance, they scrambled on board and quickly reached the shore. Here tbey embarked thair little store of pro? vender, atnouutiug to twenty nine biscuits aud about thirteen quarts of water. They set out oo their oourse without being so far peroeived, either from the shore or by the guard sloop whiob watched the coast aud lay right in their way. The sea was oalm, aud the darkness favored tbem. Sailing by night, and hiding on the rooky and wooded part of the shore for two days, tbey were finally. oat of sight of the guard, and were as happy an kings. Their -water lasted them five days, drinking s pint a day, and they ate daily a biscuit and a half between tbem. After all their food wai gone, tbey began to suffer terrible hard? ships, and one of tbam nearly^ per? ished. A heavy storm wheels ruffled the sea repeatedly filled their little boat with, water, end they began to despair, wheu to their joy tbey sighted land, and were at last rescued by four Englishmen, who dashed into the water to meet tbem, the breakers being very high. Those Friday evening prayer meet? ings aud lectures at Plymoath Church are very curious religious affairs. Beecher keeps his audience in an in? termittent breeze of laughter by his jokes and grotesque smiles, which have about as much religion in tbem an a ohapter of "Tom Paifce's Age of Reason." On last Friday night, after the riddliog testimony of Mrs. Moul ton and Beecher's insulting language toward her, be discoursed on "Meek uess," at his church, and here ie a passage from the ^report of the pious effusion: "You huvo a large debt, larger than you should have permitted to be con? tracted, and it is only a question of time wbeu your debtor will become bankrupt. You don't go to him in a forioos way aud shout: 'Say, here, old fellow, I must have my 850,001) se? cured right away, or I'll do 'this bod that to you.' Ob, no! You invite bim to Dplmonioo'e and give him the best dinner that money can buy, aud tell bim that, yon intend to see him through this thing,although you don't mean to do anything of the kind. Then, when be feels good, you say to him: 'Can't you arrange somehow to secure me?' and he does it. After I ward, when the other creditors come, I tbey don't feel meek at all. It may be truly said that the meek have inherited that man's property. The people of .the world ?ee that it js onwaae not to be meek, and tbey, therefore, keep about tbem some sweet smelling bet be to be used on oocaeion, the same as the old house-wives nsed always to .keep oo hand, some thyme and sage aud catnip." i ? , ? Some of Beeoher's adejirers even are disgusted with his levity, and nave advised bim to retire to his farm until the trial is over. The Chicago Times having burned an imaginary theatre, and filled its co? lumns with the groans of the roasted audience, congratulates itself upon having induced Manager McVicker to make some excellent alterations in his theatre, whiob will prove a safe-guard against fire. The 'limes la now en? gaged in soaring the church people about the strong probability of being oaogbt iu their churches and similarly roasted alive through defective con? struction, and points out several fire traps under theoiptioo, "Death lurks in our churches. The house of God iib a fire trap." There is a good deal of truth in this, for if some churches in other oities besides Chicago should get well in possession of a fire, few people would ever live to tell the tale of the interior horror. That Beautiful, Gibl.? Diseases of the blood are legion, the whole body suffers from the slightest impurity, as is seen by thousands every day.

Get a bottle of Heioitsh's "Queen's Delight," aud purify your blood. \ - ? In tho debate iu the Seuuie, Mr. Tipton moved to strike out theatres and iosert churches. Mr. Ogtesby called for the reading of the bit! as it would stand if the amendment wss adopted. The Clerk read: "That all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be entitled to tho full enjoyment of the aooommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inus, public conveyances on land or water, churches and other placee of pnblio amusements."
