The intentions of the new Czar are eagerly watched; but the conditions of nis task are no secret.

It is in the admluistra- on of the concessions the difficulty lies, for Russia wants totally governing classes—man of order and Integrity, animated with the sen- ‘Ument of professional honor, without whica there can be neither order in public affairs nor guarantees for the governed. THE EDUCATIONAL QUESTION. ‘The Senate has rejected by a majority of one the clause in the national educational bill exempting all nuns and monks actually in ped- Sgegic harness—numbering 34,000—from taking outa diploma.

There ts dissatisfaction in the Johnson Street Methodist Episcopal Church, in Brooklyn, over its treatment at the recent conference. The eburch is a large white frame structure, at Johnson and Jay streets. It has a large mem- bership, and formerly it was of financial im- portance to the conference, as Its contributions were liberal and it paid its pastor $3,000 a year. It, however, gradually reduced the preacher's pay, until last year it Was able to pay the Rav. George Lansing Taylor only $1,000, and the trustees said that they could now antes his successor more than $300 for the next year. The contributions aud membership waned, and the trustees thought that.a new minister would build up both again, and, consequently, ss more important Methodist churcues were A arranging beforehand for their pastors, contra- ry to lity of the Church, the Johnson street brethern concluded that ‘they would do likewise. Accordingly, they arranged | the Rev. J. T. Hargrave, of the New Paltz M. E. Church, which is in the New York Confer ence, to become their pastor, and a committee was appointed to see Bishops Wiley and Bow- man, to arrange for Mr. Hargrave’s transfer. Bishop Bowman acquiesced, but Bishop Wiley refused to permit the transfer, aud was very decided in nts answer to the comaittrea, The committee was highly displeased with Bishop Wiley’s reception of the request, and as the plan could not be carried out without his aseent, the committee passed resolutioas, which Were sent to the bishop. These resolutions, which the bishop said were rebellious, faformed him tbat the chureh had made its choice, and Intenced to abide by it. ‘The cburch edifice, he was told, was not he'd, as are most of the cburches of the conference, subject to the latter's control as to the matner of worship and appcintments of miulsters, but was deeded. absolutely to the trustees of the church. Bishop Wiley ignored the resolutions, ard appointed the Rev. B. F. Reeve, of East New York, as the pastor of the church,while Bisuop Bowman sent Mr. Hargrave back to New Platz. The trustees determined not to accept Mr. Reeve, and on Friday they telegraphed to Mr. Hargrave to come down. Mr. Reeve reported 6 church on Friday night to conduct its evening service, but he met with a cold recep- tion, and Brother Ames conducted the services. Mr. Hargrave arrived late and it was agreed that he should be recogaized as pastor, instead of Mr. Reeve; that he should consent to as- sume to be the pastor, and that the Rev. Mr. Reeve should be dented support. @n Saturday evening, at & fully attendsd meeting of the members of the church, the fol- lowing reeolutions were passed: Whereas, It is our unanimous conviction that the Jobnson Street Church has suffered crypl and op- Preseive treatment at the hands of Bighop Wiley and others; an: Whereas, It ig due to our eelf-respzct and the fuvure guod of the Jobngon treet Charch and the cate of the Master 1a general tat we Sesist sace treatwent and assert our independence: ‘Therefore, Resoived, That we resflirm the resolutions passed at s previous meeting, and that we will carry them. out. First, by the reccenition of the Kev. J. T.

Barprave ta poseeasion of cur pulpit st the earliest possible da; 7. The meeting instructed its chairman, Mr. R. M. Quincey, to sign the resolutions, and send ‘ther to the bishop and cthers concerned. Presiding Eider Kettell, having heard of the trouble, determined to carry out the will of the conference, and early on Sunday morning he took charge of the pulpit with Rev. B. F. Reeve. The outgoing pastor, Itev. G. L, Taylor, ret ased to surrender the pulpit to any one except Mr. Reeve, and, it is sald, favored a police guard for ig successor On Sunday moreing, bat this suz- gestion was not carried out. When the recal- citrant trustees saw Dr, Kettell and Mr. Reeve in the pulpit on sunday, some of them stepped up to the chancel rail, and calling Dr. Ket- tell down informed him that they would not at t Mr. Reeve ag thelr pastor, and that if he remained be would get no sal- ary. The presiding elder said that the or- ders of the bishop must be carried ont. Rev. Mr. Hargrave arrived with Brother Quincy, and went Into the pulpit, which Mr. Reeve Mr. Reeve whispered to continued to occupy. hold the fort, and that, Y him that he intended to Mr. Hargrave might as well yield without ask- ing @ fcene, and “Mr. Kargrave retired. Tuo presiding elder addressed the congregation, and advised the church to obey the conference. ‘The Rev. Mr. Reeve preached upon “Chris! Work,” and said that he would not remain io the chureh ten minutes if he thought he was notto have the hearty co-operation of the members. ‘The trustees are determined to have Mr. Har- grave, even if it is n to make their church Independent. ‘Therp was a consutta ton last night as to what should be the next step, but 80 far nothing definite has been de- termined wy except to hold Out sgainst the iho} ee, refuse to pay him any Raryeew.

An’ to pass a resolushun would be to brand ourselves hypocrites. Let no man dare offer one.”—Detroit Free Press, A Very STRANGE Custom prevailed witn both the Greeks and the Romans of the guests car- tylpg away with them the vians thatremained uneaten. Martial has an extremely witty epigram on this; but the drollest account of it is iu the ‘'Symposium” of Lucien. The party consisted of learned and dignitied ee sopners, whom, of course, the author intends to satirize. Up to a certain polat the remnants were tatrly divided, but unfortunately one chicken, more plump than the rest, attracted the attention of one of the party who had no just claim to it. The proper owner would not iet it go, so they both tugged at it; a general tumuit ensued, and the guests grasped the birds by the legs and hit each other in the face with them, pulled beards, , and pelted with cups, That such scenes took place at the diners given to Roman cients is seriously affirmed by Juveual (v 26), aud in cne of the satyric plays of .Eschylus, (Tbe Ostologi,) a guest complains thata certain vessel was broken over his hi “by no means ‘So fragrant a8 a pot of spikenard.” Indeed, it would be a rather curious inquiry how far drunkenness was sottishness or mere excite- ment, for # 1s obvious that such a term fs but relative, and it is likely enough that the Greek temperament was easily roused to fury by a very small amount of alcohol. Certainly, no rigid ee Foren ge Corea jokes of a serious kind. We read in Plautus of an unfor- tunate parasite having a pot full of ashes flung ‘at his head at dinner for no other purpose than to raise a general Jaugh against him. Some anecdotes are told which confirm this view. One Philoxenus, a poet of Cythera, was Gi with Dionysius, Observing a small mullet served on Dlate, but & large one on that of the host, he took the cceked fish In his hands and applied it ‘What are you doing?” asked the host. “I am writing 8 poem entitled ‘Galatea,’ and I want to learn from this fish something about Nereus! But it says it was caught too young, whereas the big fish on your plate fol- lowed ia Nereus’ train, and knows all about, him.” The host laughed, and ordered the fishes to be exchanged. A certain Spartan was diniog ata table on which sea-urchins were served. He took one, and not knowing how to manipu- late 1%, put 1t into his Shell abd all. After making wry faces over it he exciaimed, with true Spartan bravery “Filthy eating! I am not going to turn a co! ard and give you up now, but I shan’t take you apy more.” Rather a neat repartee 13 re- corded of one Philoxenus, a parasite. Obsery- ing tbat the host suppli black bread, he quietly said, “Don’t put any more of that or you will make the room dark.” Another, see ing an entree that was being cirried round stop at the host, inquired, “Am I tipsy, or is ita fancy of mine that these things are going round?”—Fraser’s Magazine. ‘The ideal in art, as seen by tha newspaper Men Of Des Moines, Iowa, is exemplified on one side as foliows: ** Get out mamma's rubber boots _ Alia hose; She will wash the kitchen windows ‘Though haif froze: Do not let her catch a cold, For our parest’s getting old; ‘We don’t want her to be talking ‘Through her nos Newport Fox-HuntTsks are trying to concil- jate the farmers on the island, many of whom. object to the rid over their fields.

Ia some parts of Western Hu Pei and Eistera Szechuen 1t 13 all Dut untversal; there are few adults In any station of life wno do not take an occasional whiff,and the very streets of the towns and viliages reek with opium fumes. ‘Tne practice is there indulged in 1n the most open manner, and no more stigma or disgrace altaches toluthan to smoking tobacco. Mr. Watters, Her Majesty’s consul at Ichang, mad> careful inquiries last year into the origin of this practice, and he found that it had beea indulged in for several hundred years, long before elther tho present reigaing dynasty or foreign merchants and their opium were ever Greamt of. The custom generations ago passed into the family Sacra, and at fanerals in the west of China, among other gifts which are transmitted into the next world, by barning Paper fac simtles of them in this, for the solace of the departed, is a complete sat of opium smoking requisites—pipe, lamp, n¢ » ef By the people ther ves the habit, 80 from being asa curse, is looked on as a sine qua non for @ Chinaman who wishes to make the best of both worlds. The whole of the opium consumed in the West 1s locally produced, and Indian opium does not come higher up the Yangtsze than the districts contiguous to the port of Hankow, nor is it imported by any channel into West- ern Hu Pel, Szechuen or the other provinces of the West. Above and beyond tke enormous quantity there grown for local use there is a large trade in the drug, mostly contraband, frem West to East. Indian opium is consumed in the provinces adjacent to the treaty ports, and, being an ex: ive arucle a3 compared with native opium, is mostly smoked by the well-to-do clas3es, The common people in these provinces smoke the native drug, which ig either grown on the borders of Ktang’Su and Ho Nan or is smuggled overland from the West. All Western China, therefore, and the lower Seriya Cnina smoke native-grown opium. Religion, Brigandage—Greece. Religious enthusiasm appears to be on a par With the political in point of reality. On this subject a stranger has great difficulty in form- ing a judgment, but the Greek seems attached to his religion by the bond of sentiment rather than of conviction. By the bull of severance Of i814 the church of the Greeks became ind2- pendent of Constantinople, and commands the popular affection as constituting a vital ele- ‘Ment of the national in: dence. But it3 teaching has little outw: influence. Lent may be observed by @ country population that never eats meat except on feast days; but in the hotels of Athens there ts no visible abstention from flesh.

How a Prominent Chicago Hinker Was Swindied Out of $2,000. {Little Bock (Ark. ) Gazette } Frederick B.Cole is on trial at the Hot Springs for selling a bogus gold brick to one of the most prominent Chicago bank presidents. Cole put in an appearance at the Springs a few rE} ago. He was desirous of obtaining all information possible to be obtained with refer- ence to the waters, customs of the country, its of the people, etc. He was of a spec: ve turn of mthd, en happening to associate for ine time with some gentie- man he had toid him the story ot a fast young man whd had led a life of dissipation and was even then upon the outskirts of the city, but did not wish te come into the val- ley, tearing that he would be recognized by former friends who were here. It was hts de- sire to flee the country and go to Mexico,where he had determined to lead a different life. But he was without means upon which he could make the trip. He, however, had in his posses- sion a gold brick, weighing thirty-three pounds, aud that he wouid sell the same at a Very low price, The Chicago banker took the dose, swallowed the bait and interviewed the young men on the outskirts of the city in the hours when darkress had thrown her sable mantie over us, actuaily purchased the brick and paid $2,000 In cash. A few days after making the purchase Le ascertained that he was duped and that his property was anything else bata genu- tne gold brick. Ingenious but Ineffectual., In Ilinols some gentlemen had a mosi elabo- Tate plan for obtaining drinks. They formed an association for the avowed purpose of promo- Ung temperence, friencship and such-like vir- tues. One of the associates was already the possessor Of a dramshop; the association bought him out, hock, siock and barrel; then— for be was @ jolly good fellow—they’ elected him to the honorable and onerous position of treasurer and left him in charge of the old shop. ‘So anxious were the‘promoters to extend the be- Bign benefits of temperance and friendship that the doors of the society were thrown open to aby and to all who were willing to pay the nominal fee of one dollar. In token of pay- ment of the fee the member received a ticket upon which were the numbers from one to “Beacons why men drink; Good wine, a friend, becaute I'm ary, Or lest I should be by and by, Or any other reason why,” the member called upon the treasurer, pre sented his ticket, had @ numver punched aud received nis liquor or his cigar. The treasurer took all the money, gave nO account to tue others and bought all the drinkables and smox- ables. The court was so prejudiced, narrow- minded and opposed to the eniightening intl cuces of temperance and friendship that it con- sidered the whole affair a fraud aud a device to evade the law, and that the treasurer was gullty of unlawfully selling intoxicating liquor. | In one establishment whenever a customer purebased a cigarette he was handsome y | oon toa — ot ince The court — § perhaps from personal experience the cost | of such articles, or having had evidence thereot subsaltted) considered that the transaction was a sale of the whisky a8 wellas of the cigarette, and acted accordingly.—&. V. Rogers, jr., in Albany Law Journal, Sewerage. ‘The success of thesystem of sewerage adopted in Memphis under the charge of Col. George E. Waring, jr., the well-knowa engineer, and an authority on all questions of the kind, ha3 natu- rally attracted much attention to his work. An subject was discussed by some of the ablest English engineers with marked uniformity in approving of Colonel Waring’s system of smal drains for sewerage alone, leaving Ube rain water to be carried off on the surface. Tae President of tne institute, Mr. Robert Rawlin- son, poy oo Paris al pgs and ‘other cities with large sewers were not properly pro- tected, for in the vast spaces of their great sewers gasses were generated that did uatoi mischief. London, so far as it has sewers, su! fers from them much more than it would if there were none, whoie districts are subject to flooding, and some of thegreat public buildings were poisoned by sewer gas. It was pointed out tat the exemption of Memphis from dis- ease would be ren due to the new legisla- Uon, which compelled every house to be well Ventilated and provided for thorough house to house inspection. This was secured at a cost of one hutdred thousand dollars—not a teoth part of the estimate made for drainage under the old system of large drains.
