Tan Immorality of a Beabd ?Tbe
Berlin correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph writes: Germany is,
on tbe wn?le, a country of rational
as regarde tbe adjustment of heir aud
besrd. in this respeot, every ose, u?
a general rule, be he a soldier, lawyer,
magistrate, tinker, or tailor, is allowed
aod exercise* his full right of private
judgmeut without any sort of inter?
ference from above. 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.

? 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. \
