E. E')SEWATEB. Publisher The subsidized organs of Boss Tweed never exhibited more braze ness in defending the ballot-stuffing games of their master rLan does the organ of tlait honorable (?) young man who is convicted of seeking to retain his hold upon our City Treas ury by fraud and corruption. The "Washington Chronicle int mates that tho present system of sham civil service reform, will re ceive a death blow when tho House comes to vote on the appropriation required to carry it through. We apprehend the country will not go Into mourning if this prediction shall be verified. Civil service reform is very desirable, pro viding it could be impartially carried out upon all classes of em ployees in tho public service. Our observations have convinced us that the present mode of its enforcement has converted it into an engine of oppression, and tyranical red tape, to torture treasury clerks, mail agents, and others, who do not hap pen to be the special pets, or pliant tools of incompetent or corrupt superiors. The testimony in the Johnston Baumer Treasury contest is, as everybody "will rejoice to know, finally closed. The manuscript of the Notaries would have been yes terday submitted to President Gib son, and a special meeting of the Council at once called to consder it, had not the discovery of Mayor Chase left the Council in a bondless condition. That body cannot do business until Tuesday evening, its next regular meeting. Herald. Is it not about time for the Bourbon Organ to cease this spnse less twaddle about the "bonded" City Council ? Such claptrap may serve tho purpose of covering the tracks of political demagogues, but everybody conversant with our City Charter knows that Conncilmen are not required to give bonds. The only bonded member of that body is the President, and his bonds are merely to cover the possibilities of his acting Mayor pro tern. Tho editor of tho Herald had better purchase a copy of the City Charter for sale at the Bee office price fifty cents invarably in advance. No more land-grabs. The House Committee on public lands has decided to report adversely upon all the bills before them granting lands to railroads. The principal objec tion to further land subsidies is the present method of speculation in railroad lands. If the railroad com panies could be restriced in the dis position of their lands to fair prices and bona-fide settlers, who would take not over 1G0 acres of land, and who would settle upon and improve it, then there would be more disposi tion on the part of Congress to place the Ian din their keoplng by liberal land grants. But the present method is known to be inimical to tho interests of settlers and the Government, IMPIETIES. The bloody and murderous phase of the Gubernatorial War in Ar kansas would seem to call for some thing more than mere passive neu trality on the part of the Federal Government. As long as the bellig erent claimants were contentod with mere bluster it was a matter of supreme indifference who was in or out of the Stato Capitol. Now that the armed forces acting under Baxter and Brooks have inaugura ted bloody hostilities the time for active intervention seems to us has arrived. It is evident that Baxter is unwilling to abide by the de cision of the State courts and Brooks does not propose to recog nize the authority of the Legisla ture. Both show a dctcrmation to fight it out on that line if it takes all summer. It would be barbarous to afflict the people of Arkansas "with interninable butcheries and outlaw ry, when it is within the power of the President to terminate the strug gle by recognizing one or the other of the claimants as the rightful Governor. Wo apprehend such ac tion cannot long be deferred. The telegraph informs us that "Colonel Thomas A. Scott of the Pennsj'lvania Central railroad, Van derbilt of tho New York Central, McCullough of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and President Wat sen of the Erie,havo just had a con ference on the subject of passen ger and freight rates between the west and east, and how to do away with the present competition for business." How tenderly those Tour Ameri can Railway Kings do care for their dear subjects, the American people, to be sure. Just now when the cry of "cheap transportation" resounds throughout the land, it is exceeding ly gratifying to know that a confer ence to do away with competition has been held by tho Railway auto crats. With the fruits of tho "Iowa pool" before us, It will not bo diffi cult to anticipate the boneflts that will accrue to tho people of the East and West by the foreshadowed holy alliance of the four great powers. There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so. In Nevada chicken fights are held for the bene fit of the church. Tho dead Elder Knapp firmly be lieved in a personal devil, who walked the .earth in the form of a Uuiversalist minister, or an editor. A land agent in Colorado remark ed to an inquiring emigrant, that all that was needed to make the placo a paradise was a comfortable climate, water, and good society. "That is all that is lacking in h 1," was the reply. Preceptor "Now, oan any of you tell me anything remarkable in the life of Moses?" Boy "Yes, sir, He was the only man who broke all the Commandments at once !" An auctioneer in Burlington, Vt., got a bid of 37$ cents for an elegant family Bible. "What is the trou ble with this town?" said he. A wag responded. "Squire don't you know that this city has just gone Democratic?" A London advertisement runs thus: "A couutry priest will sav mass once a week for any one who will send him the Times nowspaper second hand, on the day of its pub lication." And old lady who had insisted on her minister's praying for rain had her cabbages cut up a hail storm, and on viewing tho wreck remarked that she "never knew him to undertake anything without over doing the matter. During a sermon in the chapel of the Georgia stato prison, 530 con victs struck up: "We'll all get stone drunk," and they had to be marched down stairs. They did'nt like the chaplain. A New Hampshire lady died re cently after having read the Bible through thirty-four times. After this terrible example it is hardlj' necessary to" warn readers not to read the Bible through but thirty three times, if they would live long in the land. A Chinaman followed some boys who had been throwing some stones at him, into one of tho Salem, Ore gon, churches, last Sunday, exclaim ing: "Whassee matter you ? Too muchec d n foolec." Tho staidest of the members sinolc a smile, and even tho preacher in his pulpit wunk a little wink." BELIGIOTTS. The Dunkards are to have a re union at Virden, HI., May 10. The Illinois State camp meeting this year will begin August 8th, and continue eight days. It will be held near Tonawanda, about nine miles north of Bloomington. Rev. W. H. H. Murray, of Bos ton, asks in the Congregationalist : "What right has the Park street church, of Boston, to take up $600, 000 worth of the Lord's property in such a wajT that it can give religious opportunities to only 1,500 people in the morning, and 800 or 1,000 in the afternoon, when it might be so invested as to carry thestrength and consolation of the gospel to 10,000 or 15,000 people every Sabbath?" Evangelist Hammond has re turned to Jacksonville, and the greatest enthusiasm prevails. Mr. Van Cott commenced a revi val of religion at Taylor's Falls, Minnesota, on May 2d. Bishop Clarkson, "will preach the 5ermon at the consecration of St. Mark's Cathedral, Salt Lake City on Ascension Day, May 14. It is said that the Episcopal The ological School at Cambridge,Mass., will receive something- like a mil lion dollars from its founder, B. T. Reed, Esq., of Boston. The Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage has placed in his church (Presbyterian) in Brooklyn, a baptistry to accom modate those who prefer immersion to sprinkling as the mode of intro duction into the church. The Universalists of Oregon will meet in Convention on the 9th of June next, in the vicinity of Cen tral School-house, nine miles north east of Harrisburg. The Conven tion will beheld over the Sunday following. An eastorn paper says; "The four cities of the United States, in which the Baptists outnumber other denominations are Richmond, Chicago, Atlanta, and Raleigh. The Methodists of the M. E. Church are beginning to be a little restive under tho great expense in curred by their system of Bishops and Presiding Elders. The total annual cost is said to be half a mil lion dollars for the Presiding Elders, and from. $GO,000 to 70,000 for the Bishops. A revival is going on among the colored Methodists of Danville, Va. Among other extravagant demon strations rciwrtcd is that of a woman who stripped herself of all but one article of clothing, walked the house top and sat on the chim ney. This certainly "takes the rag off" aything in the way of religeous fovor ever heard of before. In Swceden It has been hitherto almost impossible to get out of the Established Church (Lutheran) in to any of the dissenting churches, and the members of theso churches have been subjected to certain legal disabilities of a very tormenting character. A law has recently been passed by which, upon the expres sion of a desire to join another com munion on the part of any person over eighteon years of ace, the pas tor of his parish is obliged to, regis ter the transfer. The Bishop of Ontario has em barked in a debate with certain laymen of the Episcopal Church in Canada concerning a revision of the Prayer-book. The Bishop an. nounces that those w ho join the Cummins movement cannot main tain their places as members of the Protestant Episcopal Church. A wide-spread agitation has grown out of correspondence in regard to the matter, the result of which is likely to be large accessions to tLe Reformed Church.

"That boy has tho material in him for a valuable member of a church choir," said Wilkins. when Bobby tickled the back of his sister's neck with a broom-straw during prayers. There arc GOO pupils in the State Normal School at Normal, 111. The difficulty between the lower classes and the faculty of the Michi gan University is not settled. B3' a sensible regulation Balti more girls must be 12 years old be fore they can enter the high schools of that city. Alpheus Crosby, of Dartmouth College, and said to have been the greatest Greek scholar in America, has died, aged 73. A girl only 12 years of age, be longing in Wapello, Iowa, has passed an examination lefore the county superintendent of schools, anu uas received a license to teacu People who wear eight-inch hats and pride themselves upon their "heavy brains" will be shocked to learn that ponderous brains are no longer to be accepted as evidences of high intellectual and moral qualities. One of the most brutish and beastly criminals of the present ago was Joseph AValtz, whose execution transpired at Hudson, N. Y., Friday. A post mortem examination over the body of this assassin was held by six resident physicians of Hud Bon, and the astounding fact was developed that "Waltze's brain weighed fifty-four ounces, or half a ounce more than that of Daniel Webster, and fourteen ounces more than the average brain of human beings. All the organs of this man were In a iiealthy condition, and the physicians could discover no symp toms of insanity, or any abnormal condition of the cerebral organ.

A Jewish Wonder-Worker. .Translated .'or ihe Globe- Gratz, a town In the GrandDuchy of Posen, has for some time pat be come famous as another of the many spots to which pilgrimages are un dertaken. Tho peculiar feature, however, of this shrine is, that the great point of attraction is a Jew, and the pilgrims within the walls of Gratz belong exclusively to the Jewish confession. This Jew is an old Rabbi, and hundreds of Jews visit him from the above-mentioned Grand Duchy, from Gallicia, from Russian Poland, in fact, from every direction round about vherc the twelve tribes are represented. A looker-on might be made to believe that he is at the place where the Holy Mother of Kevlaar is carrying on hr wonder-works, if there were not certain infallible marks at hand that the mother of God enjojs but poor credit among these pilgrims. The sick and suffering throng in multitudes to this wonder-working Rabbi, named Gutmacher, w ho en tirely and alone performs these won ders by the laying on of hands, and mumbling 6ome Hebrew prayers and sentences from the Talmud. Here ho is seen curing a swelling on the eye, in another instance, he restores to a dyspeptic a sound di gestion, in short, our Rabbi, Gut macher, U a perfect man of won ders. Nay, we have heard oven of a case where a nhvslcian of Posen 1 6ent his wife to tho Rabbi at Gratz, knowing full well that her entire sufferings were nothing more than hypochondriac whims, when, won der upon wonder ! the physician's wife, the "maladc tmagmaire," went home perfectly cured. The most i-emarkable feature of these woudcrfal proceedings is that he will receive no kind of compensa tion for his miraculous cures. On the contrary, he has even requested the police to rid him of the immense multitude of visitors. But, consid ering the Patriarchal condition of things prevailing in this place, the police refused to accede to this his unpatriotic demand. Ho -was told that he ought to be glad to be the means of inviting so many stran tohis native town. He has per sisted in refusing any kind of re ward, and merely a collection box with the words " For Jerusalem " upon it is put up in his room. All tho examinations for admis sion to Harvard College will be con conducted in writing after this year. The Normal School of the Dakota Mission at Santee Agency has had a prosperous winter session, not withstanding tho dark days last fall, when its doors were closed, and many of its pupils removed beyond the power of earthlj training by the small pox. The following has been the attendance during the term of thirteen weeks, closed March 20: At the young men's boarding hall, 15; in girl's home 14; attending on day school, 53 ; others attending night school, 17 ; others attending only debating society, 15. Total in attendance, 85. The Young Men's Debating Society has a membership of over thirty. Near the close of the term they had a public debate, Saturday afternoon, with four speakers on a side. Quite academic ! Tho annual report of the Michi gan State Superintendent of Schools show that tho number of children in the State between the ages of 5 and 20 years is 420,510, of whom 300,630 have attended school. Besides these there have been 5,S53 in attendance who are under 5 or over 20 years of age. The total value ot the school houses and lots is.$S,093,168, and o,5C3 school houses were built last year. The average wages per mouth were, males $61.90: females, $27.13. A correspondent who writes to the Sioux City Journal from the Agricultural College of Kansas ays: "Tho student is taught to hold the plow, to drive, to yoke the cattle, harness the mules, feed the stock, milk the Jerseys, clean out and keep the stables neat, to make and repair agricultural implements, and gets a smattering of printing, telegraphy, pharmacy, harness making, blacksmithing, and carp enting. Girls are taught sewing and dressmaking and fitting; also, a thorough knowledge of sowing machines, and it is designed to teach cooking, washing and iron ing, how to keep house, &c." A Connecticut school-teacher in a paper recently read before teachers' institute suggests that a pupil of each sex be placed at the same desk and allowed to assist each other in their lessons, and at the nd of each month permitted to select new part ners if they desire. It was claimed there would be lets trouble in gov erning a school, more tidiness in tho pupils' appearance, and greater case in conversation and intercourse which would be of much advantage when they became men and women. It was affirmed that where the ex periment has been tried, it has been attended with success. Ahen a man in Yankton gots married he has his hairshingled the first thing. The Democrat of Mayville, Ky., announces the marriage of James Leggett, of Buokikull, to Sallie Drinkard, of Buoksnort.

Uncle Bob Breedlove, aged 70, has been joined to Aunt Betsey Phillips, aged 65. Mr. and Mrs. Gruwell of San Jose, Cal., celebrated their fiftieth marriage auniversiirv last week. Mr. Gruwell was captain of the train that broke the first trail from Salt Lake, Utah, to Los Angeles, Cali fornia. Tho lady who hat been married eight times, has eight living hus bands, and ra-ides with none of them, and whoso daughter, aged 23 years, has had three hubands this lady is tho ornament of Douglas county, Oregon.

John Breeze, an old farmer of Rooks county, 111., aged fiftv-nine, eloped with the wife of "William Miller, aged twenty-two. The young lady was an orphan, and had lived with the Breezo family from infancy, and was but recently mar ried to Miller. "Oh, what do you think, Mr. Lil lybrow?

Punch. Statistics of marriages in Ohio since 1S66, show a remarkable de cline in matrimony. According to the published figures of each year since I860, it is shown that in that year there was one marriage to eighty-two of population. In 1873 the rate was one marriage to 118 of the population. Mr. Henry Stout of Bloomville, Ohio, eloped with MteWorm, and, not satisfied with his wife, comes back with his mother-in-law. That Stout man was meat for worms from the beginning. The marriage feast must have had a taste of the funeral-baked meats. Mr. J. Price, of Owatonna, Miss., advertised his wife as having left his bed and board. Mrs. Pride re torts through the press that the bed was only a slab covered by two thin spreads aud an empty straw tick, and that when she was sick Jim dosed her with lye bitters made from ashes, Instead of procuring a physician. Chinese residents of Sacramento, in order to prevent Celestials from taking unto themselves as wives the chattels of other Celestials, with the intent of running them off and selling them in some other place, propose to try ana nave an agree ment entered into by the Chinese providing that when a couple are married American fashion that their photographs shall be taken and copies left with the Chief of Police. It was very poetical and senti mental for the old man and the blooming maid to be made one under the shade of a heaven-reaching Cottonwood, in nature's sanc tuary, and it does not in the least detract from the romance to know that the wedding took place in the forest to escape a serenade of milk pans and tin horns which his fine ear fur music wouldn't abide. A couple recently applied to a New Jersey Justice to bo married. On catechising the lady the justice learned that she had a husband living, and .had never been divorced from him. The young man there upon declared that the obstacle was insurmountable, and the ceremony could not take place. "If that is ail the trouble," said tha would-be bride, "I'll just take my little pistol and shoot that nasty husband of mine on me spot." A recent wedding in Springfield, Mass., has somewhat of interest be hind it, hinging, as it did, upon a game or more exactly two games of dominoes. The parties were vacillating whether they loved for good and all they really couldn't de cide, but a bantering wager and a game of dominoes settled it If she won, it meant the marriage bell and its accompaniments, while victory upon his banners'was at once to ex tinguish the hymeneal torch. Of course she carried her point, but an other game wae in the programme by which the marriage expenses were to be paid. Again the domi noes were brought into requisition, this time by the future bridegroom's brother and the expectant bride's mother, the result being that the bill was to be canceled by the brother, and now the wedding is over, and the bills are all paid thanks to the domjnow. wedding gifts in which they may hare been multed. Breach of promise actions are rare in Fjrance. The law does not admit compensation for injured feelings, and to'eustain a suit of this kind it is always necessary to prove special damages. An attempt to do this has'just been made before the civil tribunal of the Seine by a lady call ing herself Mle. Decaisne. She sued a gentleman with the curious name of Mariage, and laid her damages at 10,000 francs, because, on the faith of the engagement, she had given up a place of companion to a person f rank, and had bought a trosseau. The defense was that M. Mariage, aged forty-five, had not sought either fortune or beauty, but he desired youth, and the plaintiff had deceived him about her age. She at first represented herself to be twenty-three, but afterwards owned to twenty-six. Though disappointed, he had. made up his mind to put up with this difference ; but he had foundt)ut by the register that sho was in reality thirty-two, and that was a figure he could not accept Amid shouts of laughter, caused by a humorous speech of M. Gatineau for the recalcitrant Mariage, the court pronounced a verdict for the defendant. The, "Washington correspondent of the Chicago Timet writes as follows- "Our society" is in a pleas ant flurry over several brilliant weddings soon to occur, and ladies are burstingstheir stays in trepida tion lest they may not be among the elect atthe grandest events those in w'"hich demoiselles Grant, Stewart and Sherman aro to be hap pily conspicuous.

Just as the bridal party were ambling meekly up the church aisle, an eager, pair of colored servant girls, who had run in from a neigh boring kitche"h, pushed directly up behind the bride and her father. The shady twain were gaping about so anxiousljrfor a vacant seat as not to mind their steps, and presently a substantial African foot pinned Miss Hauttou's fleecy trail to the floor. Half of the8kirt ripped from the amazed waist and the pins of britlesmaids could not more than partially adjust the wreck. The lady was married in a tattered toi let, and our marplot lasse3 of the dish-pan gazed benignly on the cer emonj, with never avline of regret or uneasiness on their Cimmerian faces. At Eastbourne, a town on the south coast, about twenfy. miles from Brighton, a lady of Immense wealth using a bath chair for the ordinary purposes of health hailac tually married tho drawer oftho unpoetical equipage.
