He was counsel in a case In which he was also the defendant, the jary having rendered a verdict in his favor, he, ‘nD & loud tone, asked permission of the court to invite them down to a grocery. The judge at frst not understanding the nature of the request, asked for its repetition; but when it Was repeated, and he caught its meaning, well might it be said of him that never yet bath day beamed upon a brow more fierce than his, and the attorney, seeming to just realize his remarkable breach of decorum, bastercd to apologize ReVENGE.—Mr. H. 8.

The ques- tion grew out of the case of «Rev.” K. Woodward. Tisis person lately appeared in Newark as an agent of the Ly sae Brotherhood, which is countenanced by most of the clergy. His brsiness was to enter saloons on Sunday, procure drinks, cigars, &c., and then on Monday cause the sellers to be prosecuted for violating the Sunday law. Should the church sustain Woodward, him. self a Sabbath law breaker? was the ques- Uon raised. To bring matters to a focus a clergyman present asked if, in order to ob. tain evidence to prosecute and break up a bouse of ill-repute, a minister should visit the place and commit sin himeelf? Blank amazement was depicted on every one’s face present. Rey. Mr. Graves alone had courage 1) answer the most extraordinary question. He raised his voice and boldly declared that ® ministerial transgressor in such a case would be justified; that he himself would not scruple to sin a little that great good might come; and he believed that God would approve theact. Theclergymen were abashed before, but now they were shocked outright, and the whole subject was quietly cropped. The reporters were warned not to make any mention of the discussion.—[V. Y. Heratd, Vth. HE INSULTED Her Pet DoG.—The Balti- more correspondent of the Chicago Times says:—Miss Juliet Hawthorne, a young and pretty woman, armed herself with a cowhide this mornnig. and sauntered leisurely down Broadway. Arriving in front of the store of Joseph J. Fay, she sent in word requesting one the clerks named Strauss to step out for @ moment. Strauss responded, and upon ap- proacking Miss Hawthorne thelaiter drew her rawhide and applied it briskly over his head and shoulders, exclaiming] oudly at the Ume, “I'll teach you to throw a@ lady’s pet dog overboard, I will.” A crowd gathered asthe young man —— about to avoid the blows, and the neighborhood was in perfect uproar when & police officer came along and stopped the fun.

When he first began holding his ‘air meetings the negroes mingled so indiscriminately with the audience that it became disagreeable to the whites, and a dividing fence was pnt up. Mr. Moody did not like this, and spoke of it, ‘when one of the pastors informed him that it was impossible for the blacks and whites to mingle, even in a religious meeting. Mr. Moody then said: am proud of my rebel- Hous feelings, and will be @ rebel until I die.” A corres lent of the Atlanta (Ga.)
