The season is tho era of fashion and frivolity, of political and social excitement ; London, then, donned in her gay attire, appears 28 the world's Vanity Fair; in B winter it is the world's THINKING AND WORKING LABOBATORY, the enormous chrysalis of a soon-to-be trans- cendeut butterfly. In the season, the flower of the English aristocracy, the peerless women and stalwart men bronght to bloom, by centuries of careful training, from the gnarled trank of the rude Anglo-Saxon race, bold their cours; to their pleasures all things are subordinate : eon- certs and operas are celebrated in the light of their eyes and by the glitter of their diamonds ; for them are reuts and balls, receptions, draw- ing-rooms, races, fandangoes,—thefleeting phan- taemeagorian displsy of a vaet social dissipa- tion. In the winter, these gay motbs to whory existence means the search of pleas- ure, have winged tbeir flight elsewhers; they are hunting on the moors, or reposing on their grand old estates, pursuing tigers and elephants in Africs, measuring trees in the Yosemite Valley, or admiring Chicago's stately growth of palaces, sprung upin & eingie night,—like the glittering palace of & fairy-tale—~after the dev- sstating wing of the fire-fiend Lisd left the city bare and desolate. In oll climes, to all coun- tries, they are found, always recognizable under their innumerable masks, countles actors of a single well-known role,—thet of the English modern tourist : Caprice his 1de S e the mori e wide. 1In the winter, eterybody, as the small clique of fashionable elite are cverywhere termed, is away, and over hushed London broods a spell of PBEPARATION AND EXPECTATIO Here, now, in countless studios, artists are at work, dreaming the dreaxs which patient labor shatl convert to realities, flinging dowa upon canvas bold sketches, suggestions for fature g:k, or elaborating the carefully-matured pic- ps which eball bereafter witness for them on the walls of the Academy. Here, now, in countless churches, preachers wise and learned, progressive or retrogreseive, lib- eral thinkers or rtualists, in = their varions ways are _ displaying all their force of learning or eloquence. Bcientisty, lit- terateurs of ail.forte, ~journalists, autbors, poets, teachers, lectorers, students, are weaving each his ovn thread of the glittering web wronghs from the magical loom of time. And beneath this upper stratum of ethereal atmoe- phere, in which the children of light live and re- Jjoice, or may if they witl, in the murky under- world, whoee law is hard toil for a bare subeist- ence, the rude masses, in their varying grades of camfort and ignorant misery, aspirations, and bratality, sustain, upon living hearts and braius, the never-to-be uplifted burden of the actual pbysical existence of that stupendous organism e—tociety. ANUSEMENTS st this season are subdued, classical, intellectu- sl Artists’ receptions, assemblies for discussion among anthors and hiberal thinkers, loctures, readings, msthetic teas,—at rarer intervals, characters and private theatricals,—precisely the eort of entertainments which are the most pop- ularin our emali New England towns and West- ern villages, are all the rage in the innumerable cligues (not unlike little villuges in their way)— separate ceils of the general mve—of which Lon- don eociety is composed. LThe osem have not yot begun, but the theatres are doing their best o supply their piacs, and tho moblo classical concerts, heard nowhers in such perfection as in Londan, afford to weary heart aud brein the gurest and most exalted enjoyment. ‘An American 18 sarprised to find THEZ THEATRES A in London 80 comparatively unattractive. Small, uncomfortable, and poorly ventilated, and with cwmpenies distinetly inferior to ours, nowhere can you enjoy the rare treat of witnessing, in & gcene of cogy comfort a8 at Wallack’s, or of etately elegance aenat Booth's, 8 good play thor- onghly well performed thronghout—an artistic -whole, Thedact ig, that there are too many of them to be sastamed even by this enormous population. If thewr bundred and more glim- 1mering, insignificant lights coald be melted down into aud merged with the few more brilliant luminaries. it would be an advantage. The Prince of Wales' is the most fashionable and the smallest of the London theatres ; smallness in almost everyshing is in London & recommenda~ Aion. Here the reigning star ia MARIE WILTOY, an sctress charming apd spirituelle, 8 woman fascinating and dangerous, much gossiped about from the fact of her associations with persons high m rank and importance. During Col. Baker's late tnal, the excessive hostility with which he was regarded by the middle classes was matter of universal comment ; and, although his cowardly outrage was sufficient in itsblf to have accounted for tofs indignation, there was, in fact, more of it than -ppetm". The virtuous ‘bourgeoisie of London had an old grudge sgainst Col. Baker. Whether with injusiice or nm] they accuse him of heing the firat to lead the yoong Prince of Wales into dis- sipated courses, and of gcnamding him to cast Inmself at the fect of the siren, Marie Wilton. It is certain that Madame Wilton, after being for ‘many years the mistress of Col. Baker, transfer- red her favorsto the Prince of Wales. Thiscon- nection, although it did not 1ast long, proved a fortunate specaiation for the sctress, since, with the proceeas of Hosal munificence, she was en- abled to build London its favorite theatre, which, with somewhat sndacious gratitude, she shristened after her quondam lord. At the Lycenm, IRVING AXD MIES BATEAR are tormenting the ghosta of the Scottish Thane and bis wife. Macbelh, irresolute .man, but daring and magnificent warrior; Lady Macbeth, ambitious, ubscrupulous, et of fiery and, lofty Dature,~are almost equally travestied by thess impersonations ; that of ing, servile, cring- iog, hysterical; that of Miss Bateman, eols , implacable. At the Haymarket, minor and court melodramas are being passably per- formed.

However, canace docreed that Irving should become the fachion, and, for over a hundred pights, his Hamlet drew crowded nnd most anstocratic sudiencee. But imagine an actor 80 ill-fitted to sustain theole of Hamiet astempting that of Hachetr, This has proved too much even for nshah obtuseness, and Macheth is prononnced & falure. SALYINT ASD JEFFERSON. Without great actors of their own, the English 9w & Louk 2) pleciation of Toreign arusts. Sal- THE CHICAGG TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1875.—TWELVE PAGES, vini had 8 great success hers. The want of in. tellectual refinement in his condeptions ef some of his great roles, and the splendid bru- tality of phvysical force—if nne may say so— which he displays in violent scones, were, it i true, cruelly assailed in some of the more criti- cal journals; but the public_and his fellow- actors bo carried by storm. Jefferson recaives the full meed ot admiration which his exquisite impersonation of Rip Van Winkle has always commanded. The English critica speak with a sort of amazed admiration of Lis ability to perform this single part for the suc- cessive nights of successive years, and still retain the freshness and purity of bhis original delineation. They rabuke his also for lusin- differenco to the claims of the public and of art in confining Lis_efforts to this singlo role, and, to my mind, with justice. Why is it, how i8 it, that 80 true an artist can thas divest himself of the enterprise and smbition gxpp_er-;o his guild?—for the artist, however brilliantly suc~ cessful, regards each victory as the steppiog- stone to hipher canr‘gesm; like Alexander, he i3, or shonld e, perpetually sighiug dor new worlda to conquer. Can it be that the Jove of the almighty ~ dollar, eaid to be omnipotent in the Awerican bresst, 80 dominates Jefferson’s geojus toat the mere fact that Rip Van Winkla persiste in drawing crowded houses is, to his own mind, a sufficiont excuse for restricting his efforts to this eingle character ? Orishelazy? Orhes he become s0 thoronghly identified with Rip Yan Winkle, 80 imbued with its spirit, that he is =fraid to | attempt a new impersonation, lest he ehould not be equally successful 2 He should answer these queries in the only royal fashion, by giv- i.ug us & series of new impersonations. "The concerts for which London®is so famous arsin full operation, Among these, especially are to be noted s Tl)llfl)m Ly 5?‘;’3” d Mond; af 5t, James® Hall,—the Saturday aod Monday Pops, as they mre irreverently called in this slaogy town. These concerts ara truly delight- fol; the monuments, galleries, and palnces of this 0ld World donot speak more plainly of the superior astributes of this, an old, and thorough- Iy-organized socioty. Tho hail beautiful, and admirable in acoustic qualities ; the'atmosphere permeated with the very soul of mausic, so often bas it vibrated to the divinest harmonies; the performers the greatest artists in the world, lowing with sn electric eyrapathy which em- gn.caa the audiecce aswell ; the same eyes faces upturned to the same porformers week af- ter week, Boason after season ; the marvelous musio ; the exquisite skill of the artists, and uick appreciation by the audience of the sub- aen effocts produced,—sll this gives to these concerts a character that is unigue. ‘The nrincirnl puanist'this season, tho * angel of the hour,” is MADAME ESSIFOFF, whose playing in itself alone would he snfficient to bold eorhralled a delighted audience. Rarely, indeed, do we hear such spirit and dolicacy of touch, such power and refinement in general execution. Mudame Essipoff is mistress of every style, and performs all tiie various sehools of music,~—the grand spiritual harmonies of Beo- thoven, the subtle melodies of Schuber, the -in- tricate combinations of \Wagner, in their most appropriate manner,—always retainiog, how- ever, - her own distinctive qualities, a brillisncy, scotiment, aund gracs, * which ‘belong 10 herself alone, and which give s new charm to the wost well-kuown pieces that pass throngh the slembic of hér subtle interpretatioa. The leading violinist is Madame Norman-Niruda, who, from the kiug of instruments (so recent & conguest of the fair sex), draws tones of a crvs- talline purity which havé never been surpassed, —pureand sweet 88 the sweatest of human voices wafted to Heaven in flight of inspired soog. The charming Mademoiselle Bophie Lowe is the principal vocalist. This is now THE EIGRTEENTI SEASOX of these Popular Concerts; the Jast, on AMonday evening, was the five-hundred-and-{wenty-fifth. The Director is Mr. Arthur Chagel. The tickets are variously ove shilling, three and five; and, a1 the stage can be perfactly seen from avery portion of the sgreeable hall, and music heard, the one-shilling seats are scarcely inferior for practical purposes to the more aristocratic sialls. No American shculd visit London without en- joying the Popular Concerts at St. Jamea’ Hail. ROBERT LROWNING. The English books which are creating the most of a sensabion are Robert Browning's new dramsa * The Inn-Album,” ana Aloore’s transla- tion of the < Eneid.” 3r. Browning has, of late years, chosen subjectsof even revolting horror to adorn with the wealth of his potent genins; ang, in this, cor own opinion is, tbat he com- mits a profound artistic fsult. The grand old Groeks were surely right in demanding in tragedy & certain grandeur and elevation of sentiment ; but what dignity, what nobilit; what real beaaty, can be evolved from th: hideous story, the * Red Cotton Night-Cap Country,” orthat other chronicle of crime over which the poet gloats rejoicingly, as if he had found & _purs diamond of song, out of which *“The Riog and tha Book™ is evolved? The true place for such stones is the Police Gazelle: why should & gresat poet un- esrth them from their unwholesomo graves, and endow them, by the might of his genius, with an nnblessed immortality in_the world of Art? The story of ‘*The Inn-Album™ belongs in this category of eubject; it is s tale of un- mitigated and simiess horror, unredeemed by any universal interest or elevating senti- ment. It is related in Browning's best manner; the style is free from the concentrated obscurity of many of his poems, and has much of the rich beauty of his earlier works ; the characters are drawn’ with the marvelous dramatic insight which is his highest attribute; it is a- pity they should not have been more worthy the plsy of ‘his genmus. MORRIS' TRANSLATION OF THE " ZENED™ i8 & great success. Morris is a poet ‘*dreamer of dreams born ont of Lis right time,” in whose sweet, far-away dreams we tind, in this wearying and tumultuous age, wonderful rest and refresh- ment ; whilo the flowing, simple, facile style which' he adopted in his * Earthly Paradise,” his archaic words and phrases, are quite well adapted to Virgil's own style, which, in spite of its polish, was etudiously archsic, This is one of the few translations which reproduce the spirit 88 well as the form of the original ; it mivea the Engiish reader, in his own tongue, the essence and flayor of the grand old Latin poet. Here is & specimen of tho metre the poet has adopted ; the lines describe the influence of the hero's goddeee-mother in making her son’s path eafe to the town of Dido : Such wise o chided her, and then his foot-steps town- ward bent ; But Venus with & dnsky air did hedge them as they ‘went, And wide-spread closk of cloudy sfuff the goddess round them wrapped, - 5 Lest any mon had scen them there, or bodily had happed Actoss their road their steps 10 stay, and ask their dealings thera; But she to Paphas and her home went glad amidst tho Tere in Lhe&rt'hmple; thero they stand, an hundred Itars meet Warm with Sabean incense-smoks, with ncv-pulied blossoms sweet. LORNE AXD JEAY INGELOW. The Marquis of Lorne has just published a common-place story in common-place verse, en~ titled * Guido and Lita,” which is being severely handied by the critics. Jean Ingelow bas pub- lished a reslly charming story, * Fated to Ba Free,” a sort of sequel to * Off the Bkilligs,"— astory so fresh and picturesque in style, so full of pleasant episodes, that one regrets that it has pot more conmsistency and a truer dramatic development. Miss Ingelow’s graceful taleot finds 2 more happy expression in her words than in her poems; and it is a pity tbat she should not, a1 gurely she might do with the severer study which would give her a true mastery of dramatic principles, become one of the few great noveliats of tha ds; V. V. A Disappointed Dog. Philip Gilbert Hamdeton never told s moras beautiful story thanthe following: ‘A dog was bereaved of his masier, and became old and blind, passing the dark evenings of his existenco eadly in some corner, which hehardly ever quit~ ted. One day came a step like that of his lost mastor, and he suddenly left hisplace, The man who had just entered wore nbbed stockings, as did the lost master. The old dog had lost his scent, and referred at once to the stockings that he remembered rubbiog his face agaiust. Be- lieving his master had returned afier those weary years of absence, he gave way to the most extravagaut delight. The man spoke. The mo- meptary iliueion was dispelied; the dog went ggé‘ynbmk to his place, lay down wearily and e A ST The Love of o Princess. The supply of Princesses in Germany 18 larger than the supply of eligible husbands ;or them, because they_are compelled by a rigid etiquette to wed only There are Princes enough, but they are generally, like the Princesscs, poor and proud, and, vot being obnged to_submit to the rule of etiquette mentioned above, seek wives who have plenty of gold rather than a high gepealogy. ‘The Princess Charlotte Fred- enca of Sp%mmbmsundermmn. whose mother bas just died, must have noticed the dif- ficalties in the path to the aliar resulting from this state of things, acd sbe very sensibly fell in love in & very romaotic wav, tho fact leadiog to very eatiefactory results, She was traveling in Bwitzerland with her mothar nesrly twenty years 820, and at Zunch, while laoking {rom & window in her holel, she saw a wman en-~ ed in harneasing horses to a cwriage. e sr.ai thesonof s poor groom mamed Jud.

My name is Biam—Rupert Slam, but ont enr way the boys, with a natural turn to be vulgar, callme Rip Slam. Iam & Virginian by birth, a printer by education, an editor by destiny, and I conduct the Baker's Gulch Reveille, tn connec- tion with which I have lately earned some unde- served notoriety, having been compelled toshoot Mr. Lapp, the rival editor at Baker’s Guleh, who had charge of a willainous compound of libol and false protenses, styled the Mountain Dawn. Lapp 18 dead, and it is true X shot him, bnt that the deod could have been avoided I deny, and Iegually deny that it wasa culpable doed in itself. On the coptrary, I ehall asseri, to my dying day, that it was a deed done in behalf of good morals, and this sssertion I will mamtain with any arms the controverting party may chioosa to seleot. 3 5 The Baker's Gulch Reveille is published every Wedunesdsy ; the Moun{gin Dawn comea out every Saturday. Wo thus divided the week and the patronage between us, and I was content to haveit so; but Lapp wasnot. He wanted all the subscnibers and all the advertisements, and he wanted also to be Clerk of the County Court. The result was that, instead of bein, amons and Pythiases, Mr. Lapp and myself became rivals. I conducted my share of the controversy upon the most honarable, high-toned principles. It is not impugning the memory of the deceasod to say that Mr. Lapp conducted his part of the rivairy like a fish-huckster. Iwasand am a bacbelor. I boarded at the hotel, bat I slept over the office of the Reveille, where a small iron bedstead, a buffalo robs, some chairs, a spittoon, and the files of the Reveille comprised my emall furniture. The night before the lust great fire which ‘ consumod. Baker's ‘Guleh, there was a polier-party met 1o my apart- wmeut aforesaid. A 1 and two shutters were in the habit of servinz us for table, 8o that it became a saying with the Baker’s Gulchers, ** Slam’s ghutters are off,* meaning that & game of gome Sort was in progresa. On this occasion there were six of us in tho party and seven or eight apectators, most of whom would have liked {0 play, bu¢ were prevented by impecuniosity. Of the piayers, I only remember Capt. Fristow, of our stamping-mill; Rube Rollins, Alr. Lqu. and myseif. We were playing a rather lively game of the 25.cent-ants species, with a good deal of blinding and straddling. Lapp, who had & propensity to hold good hands on 10opportune occasicns, somehow had all ¢he luck in calling me when I was most unwilling to be catled, because I had nothing worth sbowing. On this night 1 speak of, Lapp's luck was per- fectly satounding, and he won from evergbody. Mr. Rollina was in s bad humor, and I, filled with the insane desire to get back my earnings. TLapp, I need not say, never lost hus compostre, nor ever showed morae life, more fire, than you will find in an oyster or & cncamber, He daalt the cards with his nsual clumsy composure, and loocked after the antes and chips with the assiduity of & purse minding intants by the margin of a duck-pond. ** Gentlemen,” he ssid, **as I am wioning this evening, I think I can afford to etand treat.” So he kicked up Capt. Fristow's nigger, asleep on the floor, and eent him over to the hotol toget us a coople of bottles of wine. When it came, I held a pair of koaves on the deal. Idrow three cards, and found myself in possession of another Jack and two aces—a delightfully full hand. It took me &2 to come in, and, as I was just then without chips, I borrowed from Fristow, who was slam- bering again. Mr. Rollins passed oat, and Mr. Lapg immediately saw the pile on the table and bet £10. I saw his 310, and went him $25_bet- ter. ‘‘See here,” said ho, in his impertinent way, “Tm your frieod. I don't want to win your money—I'vo got & good Land, and, if you'll ‘e Mr. }E&st call me, it's atl right—I'll shaw it!"” app ! ® I shouted, *you are a beggarly ecoun- drel, unfit to play cards with gentlemen! Do {nn see my cards, or do you surrender?*_ **No, don't see it! ¥ ho mncered. **How canl sce it when it is not put upon the table? Pat up your money sud Il talk to yon.” “Yon know that my word is good for it,” maid L “If you win from me you shall have the money to-morrow after breakfast.” * Rip Blam,” said the mean-spirited cuss ; = let’s talk business, know you have no money to lose, and yon know I koow it. Btop, now—yonder's o flle of your paper from thestart. Iwantit. Iknow you have another file on deposit in the Express Company's fire-proof safe. I'll give you £100 for the fila—here’ the money—but if you'il taxe my advice, you'll not be against my hand, for it'll win ' 1 50ld him the file and made my bet good. He saw my bet nnd raised iv_just enongh s0 take all my money—price of the Eeveille filo— minus the cost of & cocktall or 8o in tha morn- ing, and then, preliminaries ssttled, he showed me his hand—four queens. by jiugo ! every one aimpering at me, and cutting sheep’s eyes at the ace in the carzer. Lapp rose. * Gentlemen,” said he, * dsy is Dot very 1ar off, and there's nothiug more to drink here. Ay brother Siam goes to press in the morning and has copy to prepars; I will therefore take my leave and my file of the Revaille.” Axnd go, with s dizbolical grin, he de- parted. Hia boy took Capt. Fristow off to bed, and when the Reveille foreman came to go to work in the morning I rose, escarted Mr. Rolling to my humble coach, covered him with the Luf- falo robe, and, after giving the foreman an or- der to go down to the express oftice for my file there locked up, and to fix up an editorial for the paper, I went off to brealkfast. At the breakfast-table I found my delightful old friend, Col. Debonair, and & Mr. Chopps, an English traveler, to whom the Colonel intro- duced me. After breakfast we adjourned to the Colonel's room, and, by sending for James Ad- digon, Esq., were able to makeup one of the 1ost coarming whist parties I ever took a bhand with. At 1o'clock p. m., with honors easy and Addison sure of two by cardsto make up the game—our seventh successive rubber won—and seven empty bottles under the sable, we were startled by the cry of * Fire!® Yeprang to the window, only to ses the office and building of the Reveille in a bright blaze, and Rabe Rullins springing from the second-story window, minna bis hair and lIap-robe beard. The great firs at Baker’s Gulch had begun ! Twodays later, when the fira was extinguished, but whilo the ruius still smoked, I first heard the ramor that it was I, Rupert Slam, who had caused this diastrons and overwheiming con- fingration. I horse-whipped several persons, but atill the rumor spresd, and I was too busy in re-establishing the office and rostoring the edition of the Reveilld to more summary means to check it, or to trace it to its source. But on the Saturday week succeediug the fire this infernal Lapp, in the issue of his Mountain Dawn, camo out with an_editorial, double-lead- ed, upon the sabjeet of * Who Is the Anthor of the Late Conflagration?™ 1In that atrocious articlo he saya: Fellow-cli we ask you to consider wher fire omgfdn;"w Sefioct what was. the debmec;helt; and desperate condition of the proprietor of that es- tablishment at the time, We happen to be the owners of a file of that creature’s miserable sheet, and, in an article 60 long ago as last December twelve months, find ths fol : * Baker's ‘Guich {8 o blotand a stigma upon the fair face of nature—upon the throbe bing bosom of humanity, Baker's Guich must burn Hite’ Bagharaoio Fise-Sasiers. wi% pufice 1 orga m suitics Awey the hideous iniquitien of Baker’s Guicns 5 As goon as I saw this copy of the Dawn, I took 8 friend with me aud procoeded to Lapp's oftice.

I gave you name and date for the srticle. - Prove that younever wrote it,” “MHow can I prove it except by asserting ? You bad ono of my files; the other was burnt iu the fird. = Produce the file and show me the article. If yon can do that 1 will acknowledge that I burned Baker's Gulch.” *“I cannot do that, Mr, Siam,” {for, a8 you know quite well, my file of the Rep- eille 88 well a8 yours, was burned in the great con- flagration. But, in' this volume, I have bappuy collected a mass of ‘elegant extracts,’ from the editorial columns of your paper durinz the past threo years, ard mean to publish them every one.” “*-Let me 8ee that volume, Mr. Lapp.” 1 took it, glanced over & page or two of its infa- mous contents, 8t0od a moment actually appall- ed at such devilish mach:nation as I saw there revealed, and then said: ‘*Pablish another word of these lies &t your peril, Mr. Lapp!” It was charged that I had saturated my bed- room wmth keroseno and put a slow match to it. Robe Rolling, whom I left asleep on my bed, when questioned, admitted that ha smalt kero- sene very strongly at the r1oment of hus escape. My foreman told me that Lapp had visited tho fast, nnder pretecs e of searching for a shirt-sind of his, lost between the puncbeons of the toor. Lapp, thon, was there, and be is not too good to maka & bonfire of a whole city in order to sccomplish his ends and destsoy his enemy, Inthe very naxt iseme of his psper he published another double-lended article, ,entitled, *Rupert Slam’s Editorials, continuéd.” In this murderous libel ho quoted 1mne 88 saying: “Unless the mean scalawags and udeills of Baker's Gulch are willing to come forward at once and give this paper (the Reteille) the support and patronago it deserves, let them prepare for tears—tears that will scald them to the quick. Let them fnsure, for the firc-oug is smongat them, and lus operations will be gmded by desperate hands.” : For thig articls T challenged Mr. Lapp. He refused to tight, and came out with snother pro- tended editorial of mine, 1n Which the respected cummui? of Baker's Guloh was Abamjnnbly lIi‘belad. for this acticlo I horaowhipped M. app. I'he next issue of the Mounlain Dawn cou- tainod an article in which, amongst other atroci- ties, | was represented as having editoriaily said: *Nothing but a vigorous ana persistent Ku-Kluxing can restore this coinmuoity to its normal health. ‘fhe rope, the whip, and the torch are neoded to save Baker’s Gulch from dy- ing of its_own corruptions.” Kor this article I kicked Mr, Lapp the entire length of Aain stroet, and fossed him into Capt. Fristow's tail- race. A day or two later, by a piece of good fortune, & mouatameer camne into town, and to my of- fice, with two bales of paper strappoed over the back of amule. ¢ Seo here, mister,” said he,” * that there Lapp's o low-down cnss; ha's been telling lies on you.” I examined his Ymcd, and, to my ourprise and joy, found o complete edition of the Reveille, from the first number down. “ What will you charge me forthese? I must bave them at any price.” *‘‘Not a nickel, stranger,” eaid tho truo-hearted feliow; I go in for fair play, 80 I want 'to ses you tackle that thare Lapp and give the low cuss particular fits. Ho deserves it.” But the very next number of the Mouniain Dawn contained the following: ** \Ye are credi- bly informed that Slam, in order to betog public opinion, bas sent across the mountaing and bad & whole sparious edition of his incendiary sheat pablished, with the objectionable articles care- folly eliminated.

The meeting was called, and all the manhood sud intellect of Baker's Gulch as- sembled there. Iappeared with my files, snd Lapp was present with his damnable volume of calomnions forgery. The mountaneer was also present in the audience, but, though I did not know it then, he was druuk, suborned and soddened with the enemy's own whiaky, I made my statement in extenso, and I am con- vinced that my frank and gennine eloquence made a powerful impression upon the Haker's Gulchers, But when I called on thai monstain- eer to corroborate me, e rose, with au abom- inable drupken leer, and said: “It'salla d—d lie! You hired e to fetch that bundle of pa- pers over from Mushmillionville, an’ I dona it " In the midst of the ensuing murmurs, Lapp rose and cried out : ** £ move you the following, fel- low-citizons : ‘Waeneas, Bupert Slam bhas been proven an enemy to this commuuity, dangerous to its reace and dignity, an incendiary and a fire-Lug ; therefore, ba is Resolged, That the said fupert Shm bs allowed thirty-six toars for himself and press o remove per- manently from Baker’a Gulch and vicinity. The resolution and przamble were carried unan- imously, After the meeting T went oncs mora to see Lapp, and told bim that I would surely kill him nnrm he retracted all Lis lies aboui me. His Bole answer was to read me part of un unfinished editorial of his for the next Mountain Daum, iu which it was recommended to double-lock all buildings and appoint a patrol for every streat, *“until she convicted fire-bug: » s Are you detarmined to publixh that, Lapp? " asked L "He grinned in his offensive way and wept on Writ ing. *If you don’y defend yourself I'll kill you a8 you sit,” said I, "drawing, *“I am defending myself,” he answerad, pointing his pen at me. I fired; the ruffian fell; [ walked outof the otfice, and here I am. I am told that Lapp, after I left the office, rose, wiped the blood from his forehead and eyes, eat at his desk and wroto as follows: ** We sre not able to fiuish thisartcle to-dsy. The fire-bug has visited our office and justified bis name by firiog upon us with his usual suc- cess.” He then yielded himself up to the sur- geon's hands and died in two hours, perfoctly couscious to the last, but abzolataly deciining to prociaim my innocence. BEECHER’S COUNCIL, A Sharp Frotest from Conspicnons Leaders in the OCougregational Church. ¥ew York Sun, Dec. 24 A couferance of cleryymen, influential expo- nents of Congregationaliam, have privately held Ja contersnce upon the ex-partes council that Plymouth Church has decided to call They do not desiro that their names should be puoblished, because their saction has no official weight ; but they have prepared what thoy call *A Protest by Several Congregationalists,” and sent it to the Boston Congregationalist for pab~ lication. The Rev. Dr. Dexter, tho well-kmown editor of that organ of the denomination, says : ** They ara of the very highest standing before our churches, and _their names would at once arrest attention and awaken confidenc.e” The “protest starts as follows : The recent action of Plymouth Ohmurch in calling an adyisory council after consenting to amutual council in the case of Bfrs, Aloulton, and whila corresponding ‘with refezence to the form of the letter missive for tue Lutter, may well call out an emphatic protest from every true Congregationalist, If allowed to become & precedent, the rights and lberties of every churche member in our denominstion would be jeopardized; snd that part of our polity which has been developed for their protection would be undermined and over- thrown, An aggrieved member of Plymouth Church applied, as was her right, for a mutual council, Two ‘weeks later the Church accepted her request, and framed certain questicZs to be submitted, At the mecting of the Church Lumediately following this re- ception of this reply, the svplicant communicated to the Cburch herunderstanding of the questions at issue, and asked the Chnrch to select ity proportion of the deleates o the accepted council, Flymouth Church deliberated thirtecn days, rejected the applicaut’s form of the questions, and insisted on i's own'; but con- cedud still a routual council, and referred t0 s com- mitte the designation of timo, place, ete. Then, ‘without walting for ths issue to be adjusted, and ‘whilestill afirming its consent tothis mutual council, the Chureh, on motion of Mr, Beccher, adoptod_reso. lutions appointimy a committee to draw up a lettar- missive convening snother council. This committos reported in twenty-four hours, Its recommendations were adopted. They fixed the datoof the Advisory Council 60 as, under the circumstances, necessarily to secuxe priorityin its procoedings to those of the ac- cepted mut cquncil, ‘Tho protest then quotes the questions pro- posed for'submission to the councils, to show that those which Plymouth Church insisls on presenting to the Mutaal Council are mainly & conerete siatement of those which it proposes to submit to an earlier ox parte council. It then say8 : ‘The case, then, is this : An advisory council, callea exclusivaly by one of the parties in controversy, s to dscids upon the issus previously proposed fora mu- taal council ; and this decision, by s skillful arrange- ment, 18 to e obtained before the accepted mutual council can assemble. Wo submil thatif aach pro- ceedings are valid, it follows tbat a virtually ex pirte councll (o parte because chosen by ono of the parties interested) has _legitimato priovity fo A mutual council, thus pre- cisely reversing the established and righteons ruls, Still further : This ex parto conncil ean really control the proceedings of the mutusl council—deciding in :Fv:mu the quexions which the laiter 18 called to con- der, with the exception of mere matters of form, In this way the relief which onr eyatem provides for op- ‘pressed individuals must be wholly nullified. ., . .

Are our charches ready <o sanction this departure ? Will they not, before becoming parties to it, seriovsly and_carefully consider #s characier and concejuenco?
