Eour Views on the Subject by Interested Parties. Four views of the manner, form, purpose, and effect of a holy kiss. The kisser, Rev. Benjamin C. Miller, of Roxbury: did kiss Mrs. Williams, but there was in that kiss uothiug of sin; it was a holy kiss, as I have before averred, and it was merely such a salutation as is recognized in holy writ as rightful and good. Still, I am willing tb admit that I may have erred, that I ma.y have been injudicious, but I insist that the kiss was holy, and that I have done no The kissee-, Mrs. W.: " Dominie Miller kissed me, and it is nobody's business. I guess I am old -enough to. know how to take care of myself. Bible teaches that there isa holy • kis e among Christians.

In referring -to the Bible we came across the words of Pistil when, as a pledge of Christian love, he directed the brethren to greet one .a,nother with a holy kies. Then we exchanged kisses. That is just all there is of it." The uninjured husband, Mr. W.: " Indeed, I consider it a decided compliment to have a wife whom such a good man use -Domini° Miller would desire to kiss."

It whe remembered by the thousands of -admirers of the late Adelaide Neilson, the uctiess, that she bequeathed her estate' to Adelina Glynn, a gentleman conspicuously identified. with the management of the household of H.

As tbe legal representative of Admiral Glynn, Mr. Langtry, the London. solicitor and. the husband of the "Jersey Lily," visits Chicago in the interest of that bequest, especially ascertainthe value and condi- tion of the real estate situated at the corner of Fifty-first street and Drexel boulevard, a property of the dimensions of 1291 by 129 feet. To ascertain ell about this property Mr. Langtry will stay there a week, and probably he will carry the proceeds of the property back to Chalk Island in the shape ofeetnerican dollars to Admiral Glyere. - - What Girls Should Learn.

She enters the saloons, gambling houses and other low resorts at late hours, often surprising her male acquaintances, with whom she thee pleads and prays. At Palestine, Ohio, thirty-one ladies have been arrested charged with creating a riot against a saloon keeper named Long. Palestine is now a total abstinence place, the liquor business heeling been destroyed -by the female temperance league, of which the arrested ladies are members. On Wednesday night the North Carolina 'House passed the Seuate Bill prohibiting the sale or purchase of liquors except wine and cider under heavy penalties. The act is to be submitted to the people. In a populous town iu Maine, sometime since, three young men assembled in a stable opposite the agency, and one of them thought of the following trick, which proved highly gratifying to those concerned: Fill- ing a bucket half full of oats., the stable boy ran over with it and breathlessly demanded that it be covered with Whiskey, as a valuable horse was dangeronsly sick in the barn.
