Dn. Alexander, P. Dclin, one of the best known physicians in Baltimore, died at his residence, No. 83 West Monument street, on Wednesday, aged sixty eight years. A Countryman in one of the French provinces recently seized a dealer in human hair, who had purchased the abundant tresses of the countryman's wife, and shaved his head.

The New York Herald and Tribune are jangling about which of these two journals flrst made the reporting and printing of sermons a feature exclusively its own. The Herald seems to have the Tribune on the hip now, but the skill of the latter in "flopping" involves the issue of the tussle in doubt. We acknowledge the receipt of the following publications: "The National Teachers' Monthly," "Circular of Information No. 2 of the Bureau of Education," the "Annual Report of the President of the Western Union Telegraph Company," and "Lincoln University as a State Normal School." It is stated that abundant evidence exists that the State of California was once almost covered with volcanoes. The statement was recently made by a scientific gentleman of that State that in a tract of country about 8,000 miles in area he had discovered traces of at least one hundred extinct volcanoes.

Toussaint Kensler, a half breed, was executed for murder at Cheyenne recently. He asserted his innocence to the end. His last request was that he be allowed to die without shoes on. This strange request was granted, which seemed to gratify him very much. His last words were, "Jesus, I love thee." Kensler met death with all the traditionary stoicism of the "noble red man," and yielded up the ghost without a struggle.

A deputation representing fifty two English Chambers of Commerce waited on "Lords Derby and Carnarvon, Foreign and Colonial Secretaries in London, recently, to remonstrate against the ratification of the proposed reciprocity treaty between Canada and the United States. Lord Derby addressed the deputation, asserting that England would not allow any of the colonial governments to inaugu rate regulations which would place English manufacturers and merchants at a disadvantage. Susanna Robinson, keeper of a house of bad repute, was convicted in Philadelphia recently and sentenced to an imprisonment of two years and a fine of $1,000. One of the acts of which the woman is guilty was the enticement of a young, girl from New York city, in search of her uncle, into her house, where she was subjected during an en tire night to the grossest insults, making her escape next morning after having successfully contended with her perse cutors and twarted their designs. One cannot help wishing the law would re quire the sentence to imprisonment for life of such characters as this woman Robinson and her fiendish assistants.

IlBPWOBTn Dixon delivered a lecture in Cincinnati not long ago, his subject being the recent history of Germany, When the appointed time to begin was near there stepped upon the platform an individual in full dress, who was received with rapturous applause, as the lecturer of the evening. The audience was somewhat surprised, however, to see him. draw from under his coat tail French horn, which he proceeded to blow with an earnestness and vigor which threatened to. rupture a blood vessel and lay his eyes out upon his cheeks. The audience became surprised, then mystified, and just when everyone present was debating with himself the question whether the man was crazy or not he suddenly ceased his "tooting" and marched off the stage as another gentleman came on, who at once com menced the lecture.

The truth then dawned upon the minds of the auditors. The first man was a player who had been employed to give a musical prelude to the lecture for the entertainment of the audience. We'll venture the asser lion that the first few sentences of that lecture were not received with a gravity befitting the subject and the occasion, the 'Longshoremen of New York and vicinity are a determined set of men, whatever may be their short comings in other directions. Not dismayed by the want of success which lias so far attended their strike, they now propose to go still further, and combine with them thoso Union men who have been working on sailing and other vessels at the old rales. An at tempt was made by them to settle ex isting difficulties with the steamship companies by submitting a proposition to fix the ratc3 of wages at 40 cents per hour forday work and GO cents for night work.

All the companies refused to accede to the proposition, and the men accordingly held a meeting on Wednesday night and ordered a general strike of all 'Longshoremen in the port of New York and vicinity, their num ber aggregating about 9,000 men. There seemed to bo no trouble, however, in supplying their places, and although new hands at first labored under disad vantage, they soon improved sufficient ly to enable them to do the work, if not with the expedition of their predeces sors, with sufheient dispatch to enable the steamers to leave port on time. The strike is daily becoming more hopeless, as the companies show no signs of yielding, and the workmen are so strongly guarded by the police as to prevent any interference from the strikers. The latter havo received encouragement and pecuniary assistance from a number of labor organizations in New York city and the surrounding eountry. EELIGIOUS.

Church and State has sold part of itself lo the Nation which has been described as "the most able and unprincipled Radical journal in the Union." Clergymen receive a discount of twenty, per cent, on their subscriptions to it. The Cliristianat Work thus admires the Roman ritual "Much as we abhor the doctrine of the Roman church, none can deny the beauty of her It is complete. The Mass, as a form of sensuous worship, is aspeifect as it possibly can be. The acolytes, the chanting choirs, the waving insense; priests shrieving guilt and muttering aves the prostrations, reverences, bowings and crossing; the'many colored vestments all these have their fitting and appropriate place in a gorgeous and imposing ritual' The Christian Intelligencer ably and unanswerably proves the evils of sectarianism in America. It mentions: When Mr.

Duff was in this country twenty years ago, pleading for. India, nothing struck him so painfully in our American voluntary system, as this needless multiplication of weak and weakening churches, and he made it the occasion of a loud call for the release of surplus funds and men for the foreign missionary field. The state of things is worse now, in proportion to the extent of the country and of its population." The Clmrclxman which is often er ratio was never more so than since the Convention. In its leading editorial this week it makes the following among other remarkable statements "It is the inalienable right of every man who enters a pulpit to utter whatever seems good in his own eyes, and no one who dislikes the doctrine need remain within earshot of the discourse." Churchwardens in Episcopat parishes will of course take note of this and govern themselves accordingly. The Independent, in reviewing the action of the Episcopal Convention, very truly says: It is just as easy to believe that the priest can invoke Christ's presence into the bread and wine as that he can impart by the touch of his moistened hand "the vital principle of a new life" to an unconscious infant.

None but a priest could work either of these marvels. The doctrine of baptismal regeneration has no more warrant in the Word of God than the doctrine of con substantiation. Both doctrines equally involve the sacerdotal principle and all that it implies, and the people who ad mit the one are thoroughly illogical in rejecting tue otner. The Hebrew Leader is very philo sophical in all its editorials this week, ana urges greater certainty in criminal punisnment Alcnemists ana psyeno logists can assume any argument they please; legal technicalities may interpose, and many a heartless wretch permitted to wreak vengence and even sacrifice an honest, noble, useful life to please some fancied, grievance. But in all its majesty, simplicity and grandeur, the old Mosaic Code has a remedy, which, after all, is perhaps worth keeping in view, viz: Life for.

life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth," a' little of such wholesome doctrine disseminated throughout thecivilized globe would, perhaps, do away with many intricacies and subterfuges that make law a mockery ana larce, trie protection oi the evil doer. Tlie Enisconalian thus expresses the feelings of the low church party at the close of the convention But we will not indulge in sad thoughts, but let the smoke clear away, and bring off the wounded, and retire, where we belong, to the rear. Yet we know, brethren, that the iron has entered into the soul, and that the word of the Lord is severely trying us. Wretched men that we are who shall deliver us from body of this death Who shall sever the chain which binds us to the dead body of Baptismal Regeneration and Sacerdotal function? Evangelical men had a dream, a pleasing hope, that the seem ing and imaginary severance mignt be effected at this convention, but they have awaked from their slumber, and how do they see it now We shall be glad to have them express their minds on tne subject. The New York Observer speaking of the schisms in the Baptist communion says "The highest penalty which can be inflicted by an ecclesiastical body on an onenenng member in tnis country is excision from the body.

That act is, therefore, oppression. If it is done without justification under the laws and usages or tne cnurcn tnat mnicts it. it thus becomes a solemn question, to be considered with that attention which so grave a question demands, whether the exclusion from fellowshio of a Christian Church on account of Its holding the faith of Robert Hall and the early Baptists in this country, does not amount to such an act of oppression as to call for the sympathetic Christian interposition of the friends of religious liberty." The Jewish Messenger is an excel lent teacher of piety. It remarks: "The voice of praver must be heard at stated periods tnis subject must, be sedulously attended to, for exclusive of tne advantages it comers on tne mature minds, it leaves an indelible impression on the hearts of the young. It cannot be too forcibly inculcated that prayer gives health to the soul.

How invigorat ing is prayer when regularly and de votedly exercised in the family circle. when the father and mother become priest and priestess; when the young ones behold them pouring forth their souls in praise to the Uod they love, the influence they thus exercise is incalcu lable. They sow such seeds in the virgin soil tnat win produce a Dounutul nar vest. The good ellect upon the young of home influence and the habit of praying can hardly be defined or over rated." The Presbyterian Banner has an other severe comment on Beecher. Re' ferring to a sermon recently preached by him, it says This is precisely the theory of Sir John Lubbock, and one step lart ner would be just as tar as Dar unit OTTor Tirafit ir 1 a nnmnlAfrA TnmHi ation of the whole Scriptural account of the creation and fall of man.

Aecord ing to Mr. Beecher, man did not fall at all, as we are taught in the Bible, but tne course or tne race Has been pro gre8sive from the very lowest possible lormot human, existence until it has reached its present highly advanced condition. But this is not all the de nial of the fall of man necessarily com pels the rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the human family. If the race did not fall in the manner taught in Genesis, there is no place lor sucn a saviour as tue one whose history is given in the four Gos pels. If the first Adam Is to be discard ed, the second must also be rejected lite New York Tablet i full of homo and foreign news on Church subjects It explains this week the Catholic teaching of the Church, relating to its deceased members.

On the 2d day of November, immediately after the triumphant commemoration of All Saints, on the first day of that month, she solemnly and with mournful pomp offers prayer and sacrifice and psalms of propitiations for "the dead who sleep in Christ, who have gone before us with the sign of peace." Again, by the simultaneous aet of all Catholic people and nations, and with the solemn sanction of the Church, the gloomy month of November, the month of leafless woods and darkling skies, has been set apart lor the continuous remembrance oi tne departed, let trepaxses (or' "passed tlie French beautifully ex press it. In all religious communities throughout the whole Church and we would hope in very many Catholic families, the mournful De profundus is nightly chanted or recited, and many other 'beautiful prayers offered up for thfl sufferinsr souls in Purgatory thoso "spirits in prison" of whom the Apostle St. Peter speaks in one of his Epistles. 276 Mttlwdist laments the lack of culture in the ministry it represents. It says, too, "The number of Methodist ministers who have in the last thirty years left the pastorate among us and gone over to other churches is very considerable.

They have gone in nearly all directions. Some have become Episcopalians, some Baptists, some Congregationalists, some Unitarians, and occasionally one has been metamorphosed into a Swedenborgian. In their new positions, a few have obtained notoriety, and one or two fame. Mr. M.

D. Conway and the two Collyers are not obscure men. The first of these retains all his old affection for the church of his ancestors, from which he has, in his opinion, diverged so far of the other two we are less able to speak. It is true, that the same unrest has been exhibited in other churches than our own Dr. Samuel Osgood and Mr.

Hep warthbave passed from Unitarianism to orthodoxy; ritualistic Episcopalians have become Roman Catholics. It is one of the singular facts of our time that the head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and the head of the same church in the United States are both perverts from Episcopalian ism." It may be possible that "culture" would hasten rather than retard the exodus from new to ancient faiths. LITERARY GOSSIP. Events ot lle Week Roiiml tlie Woria in Elg hty Days." The leading events of the past few days have been the trial of M. Clement Duvernoia, which is still progressing; the arrival of Lieut.

Zubouritz, who made a bet to" ride his horse, Caradoe, from Vienna to Paris in fifteen days; and the new drama of Jules Verne, entitled "Round the World in Eighty Days." This is the sensation of the hour, and every night the house is crowded. Of course, the story of Phi 1 eas Fog and his betof a million to make tne tour or tue world in eignty days, nas been made laminar to American readers of M. Verne's latest book. The play consists of a series of tableaux of differ ent countries, the Indian pictures giv iner a wide scope to tne scene painter and the costumers. It is a course of practical geography that will certainly prove instructive to the French, though they may get stagey ideas of some of the countries traversed by "fcir i og, member of he Ex centric CI lib.

Jnles Veme, Jules Verne, one of the most popular writers of the day, is now forty six years of age. He is of middle height say five feet nine and wears a full beard. He looks a little like the portraits of Alfred de Musset, but without the pick iy, melancholy look of the poet. Verne is bronzed by the air of many a sea voyage, and is the very picture of Health. His movements are quick and nervous, his words crisp and short in conversation, and his eye roving and observant.

His hair is white and his beard eray. He is the owner of a small skiff, and spends hours in pulling about upon the river, and on the sea in tne summer. le lias a yacht also, with ten sailors on board, and makes voyages every season about tne coast oi France. But he is not the only traveler of his family. His brother, Paul Verne, made tue iortietn.

An Incident of the F.arly Career oi a Popular Author. Jules Verne's books now sell better man any otners, and yet he had a very hard struggle at nrst, although he had Alexander Dumas for his friend. For twenty years lie was a frequent visitor to the house or the author of Monte C'hrislo. Among his other friends was a oueer character named D'ArnentiDrnv. a former army officer, who pretended to have invented a new science, that of Chirognomomi.

This was the art of reading the character of people upon their hands, or a sort of palmistry. Yet ne was an agroeaine companion, talked well, and furnished a vast amount of amusement with his mania for looking at everybody's hand. One day he dropped in upon Dumas. one or my irienas has miippeu to me trom jn antes "Some fresh sardines!" interrupted jjnmas. "No; a young man who wants to enter the literary profession." "Le malheureatix exclaimed Du mas, "Why, in the world, could he not nave made nimseit a grocer 'It appears," said D'Arpentignv.

"that he was not qualified. He did not have the necessary aptitudes. I have examined his hands which, I must tell you, are tun or manuscripts." is a lost man what shall we doT' 'He wants to make yonv aemiaint ance." "Bring him to dinner." The young man who responded to litis invitation, and sat at Dumas' table the next day, was uies Verne, author of the lour du Monde, and other works familiar in every country. The next day he sent a comedy to Dumas, called "Les Pailies llompues." it was read. and the ttreat author's only reply was, "We will present it to the Theatre Historique." The piece was received and played with great success.

Since then Jules Verne has devoted himself to these imaginary voyages in which a traveler mounts his horse and starts off lor the moon or elsewhere, lie had a brilliant debut, but it is only of late that his works Have become universally pop ular. Death of Sherwood C. Campbell, Lyric Artist. From tiio N. Y.

Times, to day. A private telegram received in this city yesterday, save tidinirs which brought pain to many dwell ings. It announced the death of Mr. Sherwood C. Campbell, who had won high honors, here and abroad, as a singer of great gifts, and widely esteemedi through out tne uuiteu wtates, as a lima in end and a genial and upright gentleman Mr.

Campbell wa singing witli Mme. Rosa in England at tlie time of that lamented lady's decease.
