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."

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.
