As om other great Liberals nave done before now, he baa become reactionary in bis old age, and as he beouiusc mors reactionary so slap ha becomes mora intolerant and dogmatic. Mr. Beecher has ventured to express certain views oa the doctrine of punishment and oa th relation of science to religion. It may bs that they are not essential to sai ration, and on tb other hand it may bs by lesson of them that Mr. Beecher will perish everlastingly.

Tb inhabitants of tb east end of London are now suffering from a plague of eels, which ii suss to them in their water supply, Tb fish which the East London Company are distributing to tbeir customers, are easily ris ible to ths naked eye, for some have been found no lots than eighteen inches long, and the mains abound with them to such an extent that tbe local board of West Ham ha complained to the Local Government Department with the view of having some remedy applied. Eels are, it is true, "a toothsome dainty, whether spatchcocked, stewed, fried or in tbs form known to diners at Greenwich as anguil-le a la Toulous, but those in East London, instead of fulfilling their deatinv by being legitimately caught, skinned and cooked, have a fashion of committing euicide in stopcocks and tap. There they decern Does, with tb result aa illustrated lately of causing th water to become horribly putrid, and of giving something very like typhoid fever to tbe unlucky consumers. A whole family has just been laid prostrate in that way, and one or two of its members are still seriously ill. Ths company have been appealed to with little result.

They say that three years ago soma of their filter-beds burst and tost tb uufiltered water on that occasion made its way into tns mains, carrying with it a number of minute eels snd other fish, which hat since i spawned and multiplied in tbe Pipes. Tbe mains have been repeatedly flushed with tbe object of getting rid of the intrude! but without success, and the company's enaineer is only abls to tell the sanitary authority that he does not consider that the water is injured by tbe eels as long as they are alive, though be admits that a dangerous nuisance may arise from them when dead.

There was ths usual procieseioa before, dinner of men and women carrying hugs joints of meat, plum puddings, a loaf weighing ninety-six pounds and a bona fid cheddar cheese weighing eighty pounds, besides an abundance of beer snd cider; and tha proceedings ended, aa asual, with a dance on tbe vicarage 1 lawn. The archdeacon quite frightened tb Hon. A. Hsnbury-Tracy, who did not know bis ways, by tbe vigorous onslaught he made on the ladies for wearing back button en their coats. He had always thought women cared greatly fur the gracefulness of tbeir appearance, but having watched them lately London be began to doubt it, and be felt ao strongly about their back buttons that it be waa a Utile younger be should start an anti-button society.

He amused hia audience by explaining that gentlemen originally wore buttons on tbe back of their coat wben they traveled much on horseback in order to fasten: up tbeir coat toils, but be did not suppose tb women of the period proposed to fasten up tbe tails of tbeir skirts. Th Janes CennUr Calf Case, Minaeapoii Journal. The famous Jones County calf case has joat been disposed of -by th Supreme Court of Iowa. This is ons of ths most remarkable esses on tbe records of American courts, and furnishes a striking illustration of what an ex- pensive luxury a little satisaction obtained in legal form may prove to be. Twelve years ago a Green County farmer went to Jones County and bought some calves of a man named Johnson.

Tbey were probably stolen, bat Johnson claimed to have bought them from a third party. Johnson wsa prosecuted by ths Anti-' Horse Thief Association, but waa acquitted. Hs sued for $10,000 damages, and the case has been tried five times, and each time, except one, he has received a verdict for from O000 to (7500, which waa always set aside. He appealed to tba Supreme Court, and tbe verdict haa been reversed, giving him no damages. Ths court costs are now $3300, white tb other expense on both tide amount to at least 120,000, and several persons nsv been ruined by tbe expenses of the ease.
