But Herr Cou sistorialrath Hegel, son to the great philosopher, has decided that the, lino must be drawn somewhere, and has, aooordiogly, drawn it at parsons, over whom alone be can claim any speoiee of authority. A gentlemen, lately eleoted as pastor by some Lutheran oommonity, presented himself a few days ago, according to law, for the an* oessary ratification before Mr. Hegel, Consistorial Councillor for the pro? vince of, Brandenburg, who at onoe refused to tender the oath to the appli? cant, on the ground that he wore moustaches. "Go home and shsve yoorself," he.said sternly, "and then we will see about it." Tue clergyman, knowing his congregation to be equally satisfied with his duo trine* and bis beard, Ib aa resolute in t hi a matter us the Oriental priesthood has always shown itself towards shearing popes, and the little Lutheran community re? mains without a pastor until the. ques? tion can be settled by some higher au? thority?the Oberkirobenratb, I sup P me. This inoident has become a fertile subject for lampoon and carica? ture. One of the comic papers gives us a sketch of St. Peter under hands of the barber. A colleague asks the meaning of this. "Why, you see," the reply is, "it would not do to stund ill with Hegel." The sensational story telegraphed throngh the country awhile ago from New York, that figures gathered at the transit of Venus bad developed tbe faot that tha earth was planging to? ward the sun at a rate that would land us there in 1,400 years, did. not cause great anxiety at the time for various reasons. Our largest lease* are only 999 years any way, aud aa this left a margin of 401 years additional, tbe re? port produced no effect upon tbo stook msrket, and so failed to disturb our cents of security, so to speak. How? ever, Mr. Biobard A. Prootor has taken the matter up, and ehows con? clusively its absurdity, by the very simple illustration that it the earth had, daring the last century, drawn one-thirtieth of her distance nearer to the sun, the year would now be eight? een days shorter than it then was. But, in fact, the distance between the I Chaldean sidereal year and our own is | not moro than two minutes, whioh in? dicates that if we have approaohed the snn at all, it has been at the rate of about eight miles in 100 years, and even this is doubtful, ainoe tbe Chal? dean astronomers did not profess ab? solute accuracy. + > > The Jackson (Ohio) Standardreuohea a rather superlative degree of partisan bitterness when, oommenting on Lou? isiana, it says: "Louisiana is the fur? thest from belog a Republican State o! any in the Union. She was e foreign province when purchased with the money of the nation. She was * oon quered provisos when she had been subjected by the national arms after the Democratic pro slavery rebellion. She should be hold as a conquered province until ell tbe Demoorats are Shot, hung or die e natural death." ? Dr. O. R. Broylee, en egsd snd highly respected oitizeu of AttdorsoD, died on ths 25th nit. paralleled by that of two other Freoeh OoojagoitK wbo recently arrived at Qaeeaeland in an open boat, after en? during great hardships. One of tbe refogeee, deaeribing bit eaoepe, says thai* having determined to free him ?elf, be confided hie resolution to a I discreet fellow-prisoner, wbo, after some beeitAioo, consented to share the risk. On tbe 8th of December, short? ly after midnight, tbey quitted their quarters, and, eluding the sentries, they swam out toward a vessel lying at anchor, with a boat floating astern of her. After reaching it, they cat the painter wbioh attaohed the boat riding aatero, and noiselessly impelled it away from tbe ship. Arrived at a safe distance, tbey scrambled on board and quickly reached tbe shore. Here they embarked their little store of pro? vender, amouutiug to twenty-nine biscuits aud about thirteen quarts of water. They set out on their course without being so far perceived, cither from tbe ebore or by tbe guard sloop whiob watched the coast aud lay right in their way. The sea was oalm, aud the darkness favored them. Sailing by night, aud hiding on the rooky and wooded part of tbe shore for two days, tbey were dually oat of. sight of the guard, and were as happy as kings. Their ? water lasted tbem five days, driakiog a pint a day, and tbey ate daily a biscuit and a -half between tbem. Alter all their food wai gone; they began to suffer terrible hard? ships, and one of tbem nearly per? ished. A heavy storm whisb ruffled tbe sea repeatedly filled their little boat with, water, and they began to I despair, when to their joy tbey I sighted lend, and were at last rescued I by four Englishmen, who dashed into the water to meet tbem, the breakers i being very high. I Those Friday evening prayer meet? ings aud lectures at Plymoath Oharch are very curious religious affairs. Beecher keeps his audience in an in? termittent breeze of laughter by his I jokes and grotesque smiles, which have about as much religion io them as a chapter of "Tom Fame's Age of Reason.'' On last Friday night, after the riddling testimony of Mrs. Moni? ten and Beecher's insulting language toward her, he discoursed on "Meek ucss," at his church, aud here is a passage from the ft port of tbe pious I effusion: "You huvo a large debt, larger than ' you should have permitted to be con? tracted, and it is only a question of itime when your debtor will become bankrupt. You don't go to him in a furious way and shout: 'Say, here, old fellow, I must have my 850,000 se? cured right away, or I'll do 'this hod that to yon.' Oh, nol Yon invite bim to Dplmonioo's and give him the best dinner that money can buy, and tell bim that, yon intend to see him through this thing, although yon don't mean to do anything of tbe kind. Then, when he feels good, you say to him: 'Can't you arrange somehow to secure me?' and he does it. After? ward, when the other creditors come, they 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 see that it pj,u a wine not to be meek,. and tbey, therefore, keep about tbem some sweet smelling herbs to be used on oocaeion, tbe same as the old house-wives used always to .keep on hand, some thyme and sage aud catnip." t Some of Beeoher'e edea?rer? even are disgusted with his levity, and have advised him to retire to his farm until the trial is over. The Chicago Times having burned aa imagiuury theatre, and filled its co? lumns with the groans of tbe roasted audience, oougratolates itself upon having induced Manager McVicker to make some excellent alterations in his theatre, wbioh will prove a safe-guard against tire. The 'limes is now en? gaged in souring the church people about the strong probability of being caught iu their churches and similarly roasted alive through defective con? struction, and points out several fire traps nuder the oiptioo, "Death lurks in onr churches. The house of Ood us a fire trap." There is a good deal of truth in this, for if some churches to other cities besides Chicago should get well in possession of a fire, few people would ever live to tell tbe tale of tbe interior horror. That Beautiful Gikl. ? Diseases of tbe blood are legion, the whole body suffers from the slightest impurity, as is seen by thousands every day. Look at that beautiful figure, a young girl, whose graceful form bespeaks a face as fair as she is beautiful, with blotches, boil-*, pimples uod sores. These are nature's beacon-lights, to warn you that your blood is full of fever and hu? mor. And you would be wise to heed the admonition in time. Get a bottle of Heioitsh's "Queen's Delight," aud purify your blood. \ - ??~ - ? In the debate in the Senate, Mr. Tipton moved to strike out theatres and insert churches. Mr. Oglesby called for the reading of the bill as it would stand if the amendment was adopted. Tue Clerk read: "Thai ail persons within the jurisdiction of the United Stetee shall be entitled to tho fall eojoyment of tbe accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, publio conveyances on land or water, ohnrobes and other placee of publio amusements." The amendment was rejected. There will be an inauguration ball given at Lees vi lie, 8.
