Sixty of the Rae boys from Christ's Hospital attended the service, after which, in accordance with the will of Peter Symonds, made in 1594, they each received at the nands of the church-warden « new penny anda packet of raisins. Another ancient cus- tom was observed at St. Bartholomew the Great, wnithticld, where at the conclusion of the serv- ‘an old toiab in the churchyard was visited, when the Hev. J. Morgan laid twenty-one six- pences on the tomb, which were picked up by twenty-one elderly females of the parish. {t is said that an old lady left this bencfaction, and that she lies buried jn the churchyard, but the exact spot cannot be pointed out.

Opening services will be beld to-day. The Kev. Irving A. Searles, the pastor, will pesce morning and evening. The subject of is evening sermon is “The Stranger,” seventh in the series on ‘Ingersollism.” These dis- courses bave attracted large audiences, Mr. Searles being a speaker of matged ability, and, though a young map, he atread@ranks with the best pulpit talent of our city, His congregation enter their new field of labor with much to ,en- courage them.

Jumes McGranaban, D. W. Whittle, C.C. use, G. C._Needhum, Ira D. Sankey, D. L. Moody, B. F. Jacobs, and other promi- nent laymen.

A man told his friend that he had joined the army. “What regiment?” his friend ssked. “Ob, I don’t mean that; I mean the army of the Lori.” “ah, what Church?” “The Baptists.’” “ Why,” wus the reply, “that’s not the army; it’s the navy." When aman tells you he doesn't believe the Bible quote something from Aristotle or Shak- speure, and ask in which portion of the Scriptures the sume passage occurs, and ten to ove he wil! assure you that he has often read it in the sacred book,but he cannot recall the chapter and verse.

Great consternation ensued. Johnson hada habitof eating very fast, and” Jong ‘his fingers in place of his fork. One day the cynic was dining with a company, when an ayoung would-be wit remarked, “ Doctor, you remind me of RAM reg “Nebucbad- nezzar?” replied the Doctor, his mouth full of victuals, “ab, yes.

How He Won His Nomination for Con- gress. Greensburg (Ind.) Correspondence Cincinnatt En= quirer. Old-time politicians will readily recall the heated political campaign of 1813 in tle neigh- boring State of Iilinois. The chief intervst of the campaign lay in the race for Congress in the Cupitai district, which was between Hardin— fiery, cloquent, and impetuous Democrat; and Lincoln—plain, practical, and eanobled Whig. The world knows tho result. Lincoln was elected. e It is not so much with his election ag with tho manner in which he secured his nomiution with which we have to deal Bofore that ever-mem- orable spring Lincoln vacillated between the courts iu Springticld, rated as a pluin, bonest, logical Whig, with no ambition higher, polit ically, thun ‘to occupy some goad home oftice, Late in the fall of 182 bis name begun to be mentioned in connection with Congressional us- pirations, w! fact grontly annoyed the lead- ers of his political party, who had already se- lected us the Whig candidate oue Baker, after- ward the yallunt Colonel, who fell 50 bravely and dicd such an honorable death on the battie- tleld at Ball’s Blutf in 1862. Despite all eiforte of hig opponents within bis purty the aume of the “ guunt rail-splitter’’ was hailed with ac- claim by the masses, to whom be had endeared himself by his witticisms, honest tongue, and quaint psilosopby when on the stump or min- gling with them in thelr homes. ‘The Convention, which mci in early spring in the City of Springiicld, wus tO composed 0: the usuul pumber of delegates. The contest for the nomination was spirited and excited. A few weeks before the meeting of the Convention the fuct was found by the lenders that the udvan- tage fay with Lincoln, and that, unless they pulled some very fine wires, nothing could save Baker. They attempted to play the game that hus so often won, by “convincing” delegates under instructions for Lincoln to violate them and vote for Baker. They hud apparently suc- evcdet ‘The plans of mice and men aft gang so it wus in this case. Two days before e Convention Lincoln received an intimation of this, and lato at night indited the following letter. The letter was uddressed to Martin Mor- tis, who resides at Petersburg, an intimate friend of his,and by bim circulated among those who were instructed for him at the Coun- ty Conventions. It bad the desired effect. The Convention met, the scheme of the conspirators miscarried, Lincoln was nomi- nated, made s vigorous canvass, and was tri- umphbantly elected, thus paving the way for his more extended and brilliant conquests. This letter, Lincoln has often told his friends, gave him uitinately the Chief soe of the Na- tion. He has also said that had he ‘been beaten before the Convention he would have been for- ever obscured. The following is a verbatim copy of the epistie; “APRIL 14, 184.—FrreND Monris: I have heard it intimated that Baker bas been attempt- ing to get you or Miles, or both of you, to violate the instructions of the meeting that appointed yous and to goforhim I have insisted, and still insist, that this cannot be true. Surely Baker would not do the like. As well might Hardin ask me to vote for him in the Convention. Again, it is said there will be an attempt to get up instruc- tions in your county requiring you togofor Baker. Thisis all wrong. Upon ‘the same rule why might notI fy from the decision against me in Sangamon, and getup instructions te their delegates to co for me? There are at least 1200 Whigs in the county that-took no part, and yet I would as soon stick my head in the fire us to.at- vempt it. Besides, if any one should get tho nomination by such extraordinary means, all harmony in the district would inevitably pe lost. Honest Whigs (and very nearly all of them are honest) would not quietly abide such enormitics. 1 repeat such an attempt on, Baker's part can- not be true. Write me at Springfield how the matter is. Don't show or speak of this letter. “A.

Rive-King that she will shortly return here at: the heud of oncof the strongest concert troupes that bave ever visited Chleago, and will give a concert at Central Music-Hall on Wednesday, May 12. The troupe consists, in addition to herself, of Mile. Litta, Miss Amy Sherwin, one of the Cincinnat! Musical Festival soloists; Mr. Conly, tho basso; Mr. Fritsch, tho tenor; Mi. Fischer, the ‘cellist; and Mr. Dulcken for accompanist. As © program performed by such artists cannot help but be of interest, we indicate the principal numbers. Mme. King will play the Chopin Prelude in D flat, from op. 28, the Andante and Rondo of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, op. 64, transcribed « tor the piano by herself, and Saint-Saens’ Sevond Concerto in G imfior, op. 22; M. Fischer, the “Consertante " of Braga. his own “ Au Bord du Russe” and “Caprica Espagnol,” and Servais’ “Fantasie Brillante.” Mule. Litta will sing an aria from “ Lucia” and Benedict's “ Carnival of Venice”; Miss Sherwin, a “Prayer” by “ Pa- cini" and the “ Vane, Vane,” from * Robert lo Diable"; Mr. Conly, an aria from “The Magic Flute”; and Mr, Fritsch, “Siegmund’s Love Song.” Two or thrée concerted numbers will close this notable program. ‘THE THORSBY-OLE BULL COMPANY, which was orgunized to give a brief series of grand concerts ina few of the largest Eastern cities only, has, by Mr. Carpenter's enterprise, been secured for an appearance ia Chicago. Mr. Carpenter's intention is to present together and at one time tho leading and most popular vocal and instrumental artists now available in this country. Since the Nilsson season hardly a single concert combination has been formed in. which there have been so many prominentartists, —old ffiends and favorits like Thursby, Briguol, and Oie Bull being associated with new attrac- tions like Mme. Chatterton-Borber, the cele- brated harpist, Miss Anna Bock, the pianist, who bus been so cordially received at_the Thomas Philharmonic Concerts in New York, besides artists of the standing of Fischer, the ‘cellist, Emily Wynunt, the contrulto, and others of equal note. The concerts will undoubtedly be the most populur of the series which Mr. Car- penter hus presented during the present season, und it is evident that he intends, regurdiess of the expense involved, to make them u fitting climax to his season's work.

It has become apparent that it is impossible to accommodate in a single con- cert ull who desire toattend the Apollocntertuin- ment, fully 1,000 applications for seats for the Jast concert when *.Frithjof" was given having to ibe refused. From present upperrances the pressure for seats for the “Creation” will be evon greater than aé the previous concert, and the Club have now under consideration a repetl- tion of the performance, so that its lurge con- stituency who were unsble to secure scason tickets can hear-.at least one concert this season by the Club. Itis now several yeurs since the “Creation” has been heard in this city, and the Apollos have taken it up to add to their already extensive répertoire, With Mr. Tomlins 2s con- ductor there can be little doubt that this noble work will be heard with a grandeur and finish that will make its performance among the nota- ble musical events of this successful season.

THE SECOND GLADSTONE CABINET. Some Curious Information—The Cabinet Unknown to the Law—No Record Kept of hts Mectings or Resolutions. New York World. The reins of Government in England have at last once more formally passed into the hands of Mr. Gladstone and his followers, and the four- teenth Administration which bas directed the affairs of Great Britain since the xe jon of Queen Victoria hus begun its official existence, Since the present sovereign uscended the throne the following Premiers have kissed, her hands, Viscount Melbourne, Premier at the date of her accession,huving been in office under William, IV. from April 18, 1835, till the old King’s death, June 20, 1837: Viscount Metbourne..... Benjumin Within Swart Gladstone. . ae Benjamin Disraeli (Earl of Heaconstield, Aug, 2, 1306) “Feb. 21, 1Bt4 Witham Kwart Giudstone. “April 2, 1850 | Earl Hussell came into the Premiership by a kind of inheritance, one may say, on the death of Lord Palmerston, and Mr. Disraeli on the re- tirement of the Jate Lord Derby. Melbourne and Peel had both been Premiers before the Queen came to the throne. Mr. Disraeli wasthe first untitled Premier since Canning, but as he succeeded to the highest place in the Govern- ment through the withdrawal of Lord Derby “the People’s William" may cinim perhaps to be the tirst untitled Premier called for the sov- ercign’s choice by direct act. of the popular will, although Lord John Itusscll, who was a Duke's son; Viscount Palmerston, who was an Jrisu Peer; and Sir Robert Peel, who was a Bar- onet like Gladstone and Disraeli, became Pre- miers #3 members of the Ropular branch of the Legislature, The Cabinet is one of the most curious, as it is one of the most important, of Brieish institu- uons. It is unknown to the law; its members are never officially announced; its existence has never been recognized by act of Parliament, and no record 1s kept of its meetings and resulutions. “The Executive Government of Greut Britain and Ireland,” says Mr. Murtin, “is vested nomi- nally in the Crown, but practically in a Cominit- tee of Parliament commonly called the Cabinet, which hes come to absorb the functions of the ancient and stil extant Privy Council, or ‘the King in. Council,’ tht members of which, bear- ing the title of Right Honorable, are sworr. ‘to advise tho King according to the best of their cunning and discretion,” and ‘to help und Strengthen the execution of what shall be re- solved. Though not named in any formul legis- lative way, the Cabinet is virtually appointed by Parliament, und especially by the House of Com- mons, its existence being dependent on the pos- session of a majority in the latter assembly. + - . The member of the Cabinet who fills the position of FirstLord of the ‘Lreasury Com- mission, which has supplanted™the old Lord High ‘Treasurer, is the chief of the Ministry, and therefore of the Cabinet. It is on his recom- mendation that his colleagues are appointed; and he dispenses, with ly an exception, the patronage of the Crown.” Nine members of the Administration are now usually included in the Cabinet.—tho First Lord of the Treasury, the Lord Chancellor, tho Lord President of the Councilsthe Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the tive Sceretarics of State. To these, accord- ing to another uuthority, should be, and ececord- ing to practice often is, added the Lord Privy Seal. From among the other ministerial func- tlonaries a varying number are chosen to be ad- mitted to seats in the Cabinct,—sometimes two or three, sometimes six or eight,—the Premier's choice being guided by their rank, talents, repu- tation, and political importance. It suinetimnes happens, however, that a member of the Cab- inet sits without office; this occurs in the case of some statesman of high intiuence and chur- acter whose advice and the weight of whose name are required, but who is ayerse to undertaking the responsibilities and labors of apy particular ottice. Up to the time of the first Lord Ellenburough the Chiez Justice of England was -among the officials who commonly held seats in the Cabinet. The first Gladstone Cabinet contained no fewer than fifteen mem- bers, Mr. Gladstone holding two offices; there were but thirteen in the Administration which has just gone out. It is, however, worth men- tion that burdly any two English books of ref- erence ever agree as to what Ministers have or have not seats in the Cabinet; thus the “ States- men's: Year-Book" for 1874 included the Presi- dent of the Hoard of Trade in the Cabinet, though “ Whitaker” of tha same yeardeclares he wus not entitied to a seat; the “ Yea¥-Book ” for 1880 gives thirteen members, and the “ Par- liametary Companion" and “ Financial Reform Almanac” fourteen, and so on. Taking Mr. Martin as a guide, we may compile the follow- ing lists of the Gladstone Ministry, which went out in 1874, and of the Disracli Administration, whicb bas just gone out, Ministers not sitting in the Cabinet being distinguished by an asterisk: Gladstone, 1574.

A BStroig Statement on One Side and a Pathetic Plea on the Other. i Tho B.F. Allen trial was resumed yesterday morning at the high-pressure hour of half-past Vo'clock. The testimony on both sides having all been put in the previgus day, all that was left to be done was to make the closing speeches to the jury, furnish them with the necessary In- structions from the Court, and 1et them take the issues to ponder over. On the opening of court Gen. Leake said he had some authorities to present, if the Court de- sired, to meet the objection of the defense that the prosecution must show aflirmatively that the defendant had u THE AUTHORITY OF THE DIRECTO! to issue the Bushnell certificates of deposit in. part payment for the purchase of the Bushnell stock. ee ‘The Court remarked that the Government had shown sufliciently that the circumstances .of the transaction were so extraordinary and out of the usual line of business that in nny event tho burden of proof was on the defendant to show | that he was authorized. It was unnecessary,’ therefore, to submit any authorities. Gen. Lenke, in beginning his address to the jury, read Sec. 5,201, on which the Indictment was based, and, after stating what was eet forth in the several counts, claimed that the allega-’ tions in each had been clearly proved. REFEIUUNG AT LENGTH TO THE BUSHNELL TRANSACTION, Gen. Leake remarked that Bushnell evidently 1 knew what he was talking about when he said to” Allen “ You necd that stock,” and Allen, after hesitating for some timo, and after Saying that neither he nor the bank bud the money to buy. it, bought it, knowing that unless he did so Bushnell would post otf to Washington and have 2 Receiver appointed in less thin no time. The pretense that the stock was bought for the bank was un absurd one. Everything showed thet Allen bought it for himself. Besides, It was in violation of the Banking law fora bunk to buy its own stock. The story that this grent Iowa banker put $310,000 into arotten bank. supplied it with funds right straight along, and yet never looked into the detuils of its business,—never even knew how to open the vault door, thouzh he had the combination—wis too silly for anybody to believe but fool or an insane per- son, A gain, the certificates of stock nlleged to have been wken for the bank were nowhere to .

Had that stock been taken for the bank these certiticutes should now appear among the pape Gen. Lenke then took up the Starges-Allen corn-deul, and the issue by the bank of margin certificates of deposit without a corresponding amount of mouey being put into the bank. The monient they were issued without a dollar beinz deposited, that moment was the law vio- jated, and that ‘moment did Allen become: av offender agninst its provisions. Whatever wus done with those certificates,—whether any of them were puid, taken Ups or settied,— the fact remained that, asa result of such trans- action, there was 2 liability now against the as- cates and the margin certificates.

His memory of huving testified in Tow to his own improper dealings with trust-funds. fuiled him now, instead of denounding his re-. ported testimony on that subject as impossible tocome from an honest man, he simply didn’t remember. His memory was likewise defective when it came to fgures,—the amounts of money he had lost in speculations previous to the time when he represented himself as putting $1,50u,- 000 or more ito that bank. There were several things, said. Gen. Leake, that were : VERY CLEAR AND PLAIN. In the first place, Allen bought into the bank and got absolute possession. On tho 23d of No- vember, 1874, he was indebted to the bank $436,- 900 on call loans. His private account was then ‘over $50,000, and the account of the Des Moines bank over $151,000. On that day he waiked up: to Mr. Cleveland ané simply told him to enter up acredit of $600,000. It was not possible for a good bank to go down if the money alleged to have been put in was actually put in. The truth Was,there was # hole in the bottom of that vault. ‘The truth was, that the trust-funds of that bank ue Jost,—used up. in Allen's ruinous specula- ions. In conclusion, Gen. Leake suid the issue was very plain. If the jury could say ‘he did it,” they should find the defendant guilty. If not, the Government must submit to their decision. | ¢; JUDGE COLE * eet out upon a very skillful address to the jury. He stated to the twelve that he had known his friend and client for ‘nbout a quarter of a cen- tury, and bad known him a3 an honest man. _He did not even now believe him otherwise. nor did he think the jury by their verdict would say he was. n There were just three points, claimed the Judge, that were entitled to serious, considera- tion. ‘These were the giving of tke Bushnell certificates of deposit, the payment of. the two notes for $10,000 each made by Allen to D. D. Spencer, and the giving of the Margin certiticates of deposit. In regard to the Bushnell certificates and the Spencer notes, Judge Cole claimed and proceeded to argue .2t sume length that the bank made the purchase of the stock, the certificates were issued by the | o' authority of the Directors, the notes paid with the same sanction, and that there was no intent. whatever to defraud anybody. Coming down to the question of margin certificates, Judge Cole drew 2 distinction between the first and second is- suances, regarding the latterof which heclaimed there was not aword of testimony that Allen Knew anything about their issue. As to the first | bi set, the Judgendmitted that Allen knew about their issuance, but so did the other Directors who. authorized it.

The New York Zatlet—a leading Catholio Democratic paper—is not pleased with the as saults of the New York JWorid—the chief Demo- cratic organ of that city—upon Mr. Parnell, the leader of the Irish Land-Reformers. It says: “Will the Irish people in this country ever rise to the dignity of self-respect and politi¢al in- dependence? Will they ever be capable of sulcient intelligence to dist! honesty and fraud, batrlotion, and charlstanism, guish between ‘who con> great ‘parties ss?
