tob last thing of note
that tmnspircd before the adjournment,
whU waa oolv carried became the nece*
Slv of going home .ounc time could not be
was the announcement by
Mr McCarthy that he would preach in tbc
church every evening during the week, and
the rejoinder by one of the deacon?.
?4Ko you won't I , . .
The misunderstanding as to who had t ?
nuered began rifibt there. Feeling theflusli
2f victory, as if swinging his battle axe
around hi? head in exultation, J* "j-j*
Mr McCarthy sent the words elashinn ou.
into the air to be somewhat blunted by con
tact with tbe deacon's shield. v
In tbe midst of '* Yes we wills and .No
you wont's " tbe Christian assembly dis
jointed itself.
the deaoons gathered to conswer
the announcement of meetings, and after a
brief session decided to close the bouse for
thp week giving up the Wednesday evening
^SJtto/aod all. That there would
le no services they announced to such as
were still present, and then went home to
imppy dreams, it may be.
When the deacons of the T>mon Park
Baptist had slept off the dissipation of the
previous uigbt, and bad their nightmares
driven away t.y a new ilny, they cbaDccd to
be in tbe mood for con&ultalion, and man
aged to talk over matters and thiDgs with
one another before lunch-time. There was
?o one regular meeting in an appointed
place, but a dozen irregular confabs all
around. Tbe mult was justas unanimous.
A committee was appointed to do the pre
liminary work for tbe convening of
A COUNCIL TO TRY MR. M'CARTHY
oil tbc charges which another committee was
to put in shape, while a third committee was
to- circulate a call for the council among tbe
church-members and get as many names as
-possible eigned to it.
THl CHARGES
were not jet quite in order, though pretty
pearly made out. Tbey will be voluminous
enough, and will cast a considerable shado w
upon Mr. McCarthy's reputatiou and charac
ter till tbey are removed. They win
brand him as a liar, a hypocrite, a de
famer of character, a threatener of life, an
obscene talker, and a most immoral and un
principled man. Tbey will leas strong as I
language can make them, and the deacons
expect, of course, to prove them beyond a
Question. Tbey say that Mr. McCarthy has
demanded charges without ceasing. Now
le shall have tbem, atd e cough of them. It
is hoped, however, that the council will be
able to avoid entering into the perusal of
the darkest pages by finding the other so
black as to render a conviction on them
inevitable. This is one side of it. Mr.
McCarthy would doubtless refuse to have
anything concealed. If he has done any
thing, he says be wants to know it.
Tbe council will be held
ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON,
iifthe UDion Park Baptist church, unless
there arises some imfoxseeu circumstance to
pmeDt. The associations comprise the
chuicbes at El^in, Aurora, .St. Charles, Oak
Park, Evanslon, and tbe suburban towns
generally. ?
While the deacons were holding their ses- 1
mion there wus something of
A SCENE
Ju the immediate vicinity of the church edi
fice on tbe corner o( Paulina and Washing-,
ton streets. Shortly after 7 o'clock a con
siderable crowd, of "the most mixed charac
ter. took possession of three ,ioints on the
sidewalk? at the front and side of the
church and ou the corner opposite. There
3yere a few members of the society, and
many who were not. Boys whistled us tbey
do to encore a variety "star"; iuen fumed
because somebody didn't come to break in
the church dcors, and women shivered as
they huddled about tbe solitary street-lamp
for" warmth. The expressions of opinion
were as varied as the mass was motley, the
only feature being an entire absence ot reli
gious feeling. There was. much bitterness,
some wonder, much curiosity, traces of con
tempt, and loud talking of what ,J I du."
MR. M'OARTUY
?Mgconced himself in thehouse of Mr. Burtis,
the church. From the front win
observations. He was
ScwmpaniedbH. . Beach, E-q , ms law
yer who came to take a legal view ot the
matter. Two trustees (Messrs. Bingham and
Burtis) were at hand. The latter escaped
active participation by retiring with some
port of indisposition. Mr. Bingham formed
bimself into the attacking party. He pro
ceeded to the church door with cautioD,
having been informed by some 4< Washing
tonian" bpys that they had seen a body of
armed men inside. His raps were responded
to by
THE SOLITARY SEXTON,
who was within, and who said he must beg
to be excused, but be really could uot admit
tbc parties. Mr. Bingham made his plea
**inthe name of tbe trustees," which the
lawyer deemed sufficiently strong ; but the
sexton still said nay, and the church re
mained closed. It was cold out in the air,
and tbe crowd was getting impatient. Ru
mors bad been set afloat that Mr. McCarthy
would enter the church, if needs be, over
BROKEN DOORS AND DEAD DEACONS
to hold the services he had announced. But
these were not carried into facts. Wheu it
became apparent to Mr. McCarthy that the
church was both locked and barred against
him he yielded his purpose. Going out on
the porch of Mr. Burtb's house
HE said:
" Friends, I (should like to preach to you,
but you see the church is closed against me.
If i told you to go in I know you would go
in in lew* tb?n five minutes. rCries of < You
bet,' and 4 Give us the word.'] But I do not
wish you to use violence. So there will be
no meeting to-night."
He then rfSotered the mansion, a chorus
of cheers and hisses following him.
23f CONVERSATION WITH TUB TIMES REPORTER
?ut?equentiy Mr. McCarthy said he should
not attempt anything further. The deacons
had locked him out of his ehuicb, aud they
must now take the next move. There might
be ft legal question as to their rights in the
blit he did noMhink: be should i
raise it. Tb^y jwe cuonio# the eburch on
tfotfr own authority, and be suptJObtd they
wguid continue to do so. He was frkk of

cannot see tbe point In tbe question either.

for the figures, which are perfectly familiar
to him, but be asked to be informed why in
the one case the apples sold at o-12ths of
a cent each, and in tbe other case at 2-5ths
of a ccnt cach. If G. F. W. can give any
other and better reason tb3ti ours we will
publish it with pleasure. We know, how

reason. Working out tbe problem in what

A Kcmlnlseenco of "Horso Allen.'.
fHarfK r'd Monthly for March. J
In earlier days in Missouri there presided
over the judicial destinie3 of a large circuit
a judi,e remarkable for bis official and social
excellencies. He was universally known as
" Horse Allen,"1 to which title in later years
the prefix of " Old" was added. He was a
sound lawyer and an incorruptible judge,
and in those primeval days imposed a per
sonal regard by the possession of a set of
brawny limbs that men said bad been called j
on more than one occasion into active exer
cise to teach the refractory " bow to respect
the court." He regarded tbe bar- composed
generally of youug men, whom be called by.
their Christian names? almo^ in the light o
his children, and they in turn soon learned
to love him as a father. They till this storv
011 the old judge: ?,nMin?
On one occasion., while be was holdin
court in a log cabin in one of tlie t cn w iltl
counties of the Southwest, two of b s bojs
became so excited over a case thot,nfterracn
had in unmistakable language questioned
the vericity of the other, an inkstand. bad
been hurled, and the compliment returned
bv a forcible propulsion of the Missouri
Statutes by the maddened disputauts at each
' Cher's bo'ds. The whole thing occurred
so quickly that the Judge had not time to
prevent it, but be proved himself equal to the
occasion. . , ,, ,
? Cyrus," be remarked to the sheriff, " ad
journ court for fifteeo minutes." It was
done by Mr. Frost, the sheriff. " Now shut
that dojrand lock it." '
As soon as these orders had been executed,
turning to one of the combatants, then State s
attorney and now an eminent citizen and
lawyer "in California, lie said s . . . .
" Peter, come out and stand behind that
bench!" The representative of tbe State
riuietly took position. '
uToro," he continued, to youug Horrell
rof whose future your historian has lost
surbt). "do you stand there !" and tbe atti
tude was laken as ordered.
" Now, boys," said the "Old Horse, in
gentle tones," 44 you have been guilty of a
very gross disrespect of this court, and the
court cannot aud will not stand it, and will
take proper steps to vindicate itself. I have
nlwajs held myself as good a judge of a fight
as of the law. In this matter of outrage the
court will sit and see it out, and you both
shall have fair play. Now pitch iu and tight
ouU" . . * ?. /? ..
Nothing loath, the two boys went at it fist
and skull; for they knew very well that if
they did not settle it iu this way tbe " Old
Horse" would probably quit bis seat and
thrash them both- a feat" very easy of accom
plishment for him. Aud so they fought,
and the Judge looked on to see fair play. ;
History does not record which of the two
was the victor, but alter protracted and
exhausting efforts, aud, alas! much pro
fanity, of which the Court took no oftical
eognizuuee, tbe Judge, turning to ibe sheriff,
suid:
44 Cyrus, separate them, unlock tbe door,
aud 0?Cn court."
And when court wasopcucd, be turned to
tbe clerk aud said :
" Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of twenty dol
lars each against Mr. Minor and Mr. Horrell
tor a. flagrant contempt of this court."
Before tbe adjournment tbe fines were re
mitted, and the boys were ever afterward
tiie best of friends.
The pretty little story of the "Fam:ly
Try.?t," by Christopher North, \va9 re
peated during the late panic. "Wife and j
children, thuie is no need, surely, to
beat about ttie bush. I will tell you the J
worst in a word,? 1 am ruined I All my j
property Is lost and gone, ana we must give
up our home. We must leave this street."
A slight convulsive motion weut over the
circle, and a female voice sobbed, <l Leave
our home?" But the good wife said calm
ly : 41 We. have seen many happy days, but
surely we must seek aud liod contentment
elsewhere. 1 wilt not lose a night's rest. It
you can bear it, I can." Mr. A. was a hard
working, industrious man, who in an evil
hour hwl become surety for an acquaint
ance, through whom he was utter Iy aud
Irretrievably ruined. He felt the magna
nimity. of his wife, and begged the for
giveness of his assembled family. Upon
this his eldest son stood up, and first looking
with the most respectful tenderness on his
father, aud then wifb a cbcerful smile on all
around, said: ?* Father, never more utter
these words; never more indulge the^e
thoughts; you have fed u?, clothed us, edu
cated Uf, taught us what is our duty to God
and man. It rests with us to practice it.
We all love you, father. We are all grate
ful; if need be we would all lay down our
our lives to save you, but there is no need
of if. What has happened? Nothing. We
are all well and strong. We can all work."
At this all care and despondeucy fled.
Miss OlympU Brown was morricd la?t
spring, but hasn't changed her name. She
says that she and her husband agreed before
the}' were married that they should hold on
to their own names. In fact, she wouldn't
have married without such an agreement. 1
as.ked her if Air. Willis (her husband) didn't
wish to change his name to Brown. She
s?id, 4< O, no. lie would be simple if he did,
Willis being a much prettier name; besides
had his nume been Hlgginbottom he would
have prelcrred to retain it, considering it
was his own, and the one bo had always
been lcnowu by." I asked her if noose ever
called her WiiJls? She said, **??>l?, yes,
sometimes they <lid ; but she didn't wage
I any special war on that any more than if
1 they had called her eoino pet name that never
belonged to her." And so it is Johii Henry
Willis and Kov.Olympia Brown ; and he at
tends to his grocery business, and she
preaches to her congregation of faults aud
"sinners every }$unday? and tbejr keep a snus
little house in Bridgeport, ouk!Gohierir Hill,

THE TOBACCO MARKET AS REPORTED
BY THE NEW YORK TOBACCO LEAF,
FEBRUARY 24.
Virainia /.??/.-9ales of Virginia leaf both for
shlument and iJomestic use arc reporred. but chiefly
fnr the latter purpose. There is a steady demand
on manufacturing account for all goods of present
ufefulnes?, but saies are apparently curtailed 1 lx>r
the want of Rood worklug niattrial. Uenotesome
transactions in Ings and primings, but 'here is lit
tle or no movement In either class, the former be
ing slow of sale at Sii'c., shippinggraUes, ;? Jiotb^he
V^jdniaand western crops have mis. je^*" a muph '
laruer proportion of low l?tf and lugs tbaU u.>ual?
ihan. Indeed, fop suvtial -yeanrbefore? and hs a re
?.u't whatever isgcjod of either crop will coraniaud
^nll Alices; ana wh'it is common and ludifTerj nt
Vfir have to t:?ke its chances with the varjln
tcudeucy of the market. Western common i lugs
arc Jliouglit to lie poorer than they ordiuarll) are,
areuing from those that have been handled;
niulvnth reznrtl to Virginia lugs of the same
dcirTpnon more complaint Is already made of
the grit and sand to be met with in them than is
usually heard so early in the,?c:won. I'rizers do
not need to be tol.l aga'n that torelgn buyers lu\a
riably object to tobacco that is not cleanly handled,
but iicrliuDS It would tc well to remind them that
besides bi'injr objected to when in an untidy comtl
tion. It h> frequently impossible to sell It on that
account, ?nd mat when sold it Is alw<vs at a uepre
ciation lroin what it would otherwise have brought.
If to Mil unusually large s?|?ply ot low gr.d.-s this
sea>on Is to be added unusual complaints, well and
Ill-founded, about their cleanliness. It U eaai to
foresee what the range of prices tor them is likelv
to lie All good tobacco b tlrm and advancing In
Uichuiond. bright wrappers ranging ahead > at
fancy ligttres, ^ hen they ?re to be had. Ihetuture
of this class of goods, so tar as piesent stock i?
concerned, is lieyoni the control of tli : bear iu
tercet.
Mr. Frederick Fischer, tobacco broker, sum
marizes business i'i his circular, dated February 2d,
as follows : New York :obacco receipts. Received
Hits !? onili : Western. 1.03G: lu-;t year. Western,
1,082. From New OrleailF, 300; l:i>t year, New
Orleans, 80. From M.ginia, 891 ; last year, Vir
ginia, 1.217. Total litis month, 2,847 hogsheads.
To I ij last year, 2.409 hogsheads. Stock ou liana
in New I ork in inspection" warehouses? this year,
10- 104 hotheads; la t year. 0,597 hogsheads.
Sales here for this month, 3,400 hogsheads ,* last
war, 3 400 hogsheads. Receipts of tobaccoat New
Orleans from .January 1 to January 24. 1 74, 017

42 hogshead-. block ou ha no at New Or.eans in
warehouses and on shipboard not cleared. January
24, l?>74, 7,309 hogsheads ; last year, 2,983 hogs
heads.
Jlanuf'ictured.? With the exception of here and
there sales of small lots for current use we hear of
nothlngdinlng ill* week lust closed. Neither for
consumption n r . xptr. were Lie re any transactions
of importance. so la- as we hive learned. Some
snithern buyers were in town, but tliev selected
only what could nut so well he secured elsewhere.
Common to medium goods, tiiey are reported to
1 ave said, can, somehow or otner, be obtained from
fac ories at i lie extreme south cheaper than here.
Blockading used to be. cited in explanation of simi
lar experiences sometime ago, but this, wesuppose,
cau hardly be adduced to solve the enigma now.
ISrtKht w< rk seems likely to become more than
ordln.triiy precious as a couseque.ice of the scarcity
and prro?Uujr uea?ne--s oi* brlgnt wrapper--. As yet
there hay been no advance in bright f*o.>ds, hu^ the>
have been made even iiruicr than ihey Wiie, and
may appreciate in price at almost any moment.
Sninkiny ? . ailier an increase of orders for
smoking tobacco 1- am.ounced, and from quarti rs,
too, which suggest tiie opening of the spring tivdc.
if C ongress will onlyht the tsx alone there Is a fair
prospect of a good iralllc in lids staple the current
year. But will it he left alone, is now the question.
Unless the discussion of the subject in Congress is
iiesltfned. a-t some InlVr, merely to prevent the to
bacco tra 'e from asking for other ustlul and desi
rable moiliticatlons of the law, tlier.* is reason to
ipprchend that before the agitation is over an iu
irea^e-d tale ci tax will be levied, provided the trade
Jo not resolutely oppose such action.
