Next to the sad and beautiful rites
appertaining to the approaching Dec.-
oratioa day, there is no one thing so
engrossing the minds and hearts of our
old vets as the September gathering in
- the city of Washington of the various
Posts of the Grand Army of" the Re-
public. Here, to the capital city "all
fought to preserve from rebel destruc-
tion, to the now beautiful capital of
'a rescued Nation, made historic by
its. numberless surrOunding battle
fields and graves of our sacred patri-
otic dead, the surviving old soldiers
hope towend their way in the early
days of the coming Sept-ember. To
many an old hero, bronzed, scarred
and maimed, it will be the first visit
since the days of terrible, bloody war ;
to most of these veterans, it will be
their last grand march in ell-time step
and column, Wltll fellow comrades of
thirty years ago, ere they are mustered
in for the final roll-call‘ at the general
resurrection of all mankind. The one
universal and pathetic expression
among our old soldiers is—“This' will
be our only and last chance to see the
'Capitol we fought to save,” and they
are now studying the routes of travel
that shall lead them to the noble city
and at the same time take them on a
circuit to the greatest number of battle
fields in which each has a special per-
sonal interest. With them, “seeing
“lashington” takes almost equal rank
with the veterans, with revisiting their
fighting ground. Go where one will in
the Republic now, he finds the fame of
Washington established as a beautiful
and worthy Capital.
lit is evident that all the railroads will
be heavily taxed to provide excursions
to the fields. The general talk seems
to be of going direct to Washington,
and thence covering the main points of
,‘battle interest by excursions. There
will be a great crowd of stop-over pil-
grimages at Gettysburg by that por-
tion of the column which goes by
the Pennsylvania lines. The same will
be true for Antietam and the Shenan-
doah for those taking the Baltimore -
and Ohio Road; and for the Virginia~
fields in general, by those moving by
the Chesapeake and Ohio. But the
main column will march direct on
‘Washington, and all lines which reach
the former theatres of war will be busy
with these men of peace bent on re-vis-
iting the ‘scenes of their days of . battle.
Not less than one hundred and fifty
persons in all, it is expected, will go
from Norwalk.
Dr. Parhurst Lectures.
Rev. Dr. Parkhurst delivered a lec-
ture at the Church of the Covenant,
Washington’s'most elegant, aristocratic
and select presbyterian place .of wor-
ship,Monday evening. The Church was
crowded to its utmost capacity to see and
Iii-ear the N. Y. divine who has achieved
such sudden and complicated celebrity.
He is not reported as having explained
why he took the young man member
of his church with him in his round of
debauchery, exploration although seri-
ously invited thereto by the following
pungent criticism made by the Wash-
ington Post just prior to his lecture :
Mr. John Laugdon Erving, who so
recently achieved notoriety as Dr.
Parkhurst’s companion in moral inves-
tigation, has gone crazy. \Ve do not
particularly wonder. Whether he lost
his mind in the vain effort to reconcile,
his performances with his professions,
or whether his nervous system broke
down as a result of prolonged contem-
plation of the meanness he had prac-
ticed toward Hattie Adams, or whether
he became insane through grief over
the loss of his aifianced bride, we do
not undertake to say, and, indeed do
not greatly care. The fact of import-
ance is that, after committing a sig-
.nallar disgraceful act, and at a time
“when he had, presumably, leisure in
which to thoroughly realize its infamy,
he lost he mind and became a lunatic.
This terrible misfortune is, however,
the most creditable thing that has hap-
pened in connection withyoung Erving
since he set out in Dr. Parkhurst’s com-
pany .to make a tour of the New York
slums. His going crazy under the
strain shows that at least he is not
wholly lost to shame. Dr. Parkhurst
may be able to pardon himself on the
ground that he has a moral duty to
perform, and conscientious Christians
may be found to justify the manner in
which'the doctor has seen fit to per-
form it, but Mr. Erviug must be judged
by the rules that govern the conduct
and the reputation of ordinary gentle-
'men, and under these rules he has no
defense. Whatever the world may ex-
pect of Dr. Parkhurst it has certainly
not confided its morals to ' the care of
' Mr. Erving, and what, therefore, may
strike some people as praiseworthy in
the preacher will strike everybody as
contemptible in the layman. Even as-
suming Dr. Parkhurst’s tOur to have,
been necessary in the interests of re-
ligion and society, Mr. Erving’s par-
ticipation therein is left without justi-
‘fication. The latter went simply as
other men go, to gratify an unwhole-
somecuriosity and a depraved taste,
and he has upon him the additional
stigma of having betrayed the forlorn
notches who degraded themselves at
his behest and with his connivancc. . It
was a mean and unmanly thing to dd—
this act of the Spy and the informer—
worse in every way than the debauch-
ery that preceded it. I,
That Erving’s fiancee, shocked and
outraged by the revelations of the
trial in court, should have repudiated
him was natural and proper. High-
minded girls cannot be made to believe
that such enterprises as Dr. Parkhurst
and Mr. Erving prosecuted are entitled
to praise, or even to condOnation. TheV
cannot see in what way or to what ex-
tent the action of the abandoned
women was more reprehensible than
that of their male companions. If Dr.
Parkhurst and young Erving had. in.
vaded those dens of iniquity and had
pleaded with “and reproved their in-
mates, that would have been intelligi-
ble; but when they went in the guise
of revelers, when they took part in the
shameful orgies, prompting, stimulat-
ing, and paying for them, and then af-
terward accused and delivered up to
punishment the victims of their deceit,
modest, honorable, and self-respecting
people found difficulty in recognizing
the virtue of the act.
prised that the young lady who was
engaged to Erving has renounced him.
It is the least surprising feature con-
nected with the deplorable episode.
And now the thoughtful and observ-
ant citizen may proceed to estimate
the fruit of Dr. Parkhurst’s peculiaré
enterprise. On the one hand a few
erring women have been convicted
and temporarily restrained in their
evil courses. On the other hand two
professing Christians have played the
spy and the informer, one of them has
become insane in consequence, 8. mar-
riage promising great happiness has
been broken off, and an innocent and
proud young girl has been consigned
to sorrow and humiliation. It ought
to be an interesting calculation to any-
body with the courage to complete it.

BRIEF MENTION.
One of a body of White Caps was fatally
wounded by a man whom they attempted
to whip at Knoxville, Tenn.
Masked men entered the hut near Coates
ville, Pa, of Jacob Patterson, an aged her
mit supposed to be wealthy, and demanded
money. He protested and was brutally
beaten by the intruders, who fled, leaving
him for dead. ~
The French forces in Tonquin captured a
pirates’ stronghold after a. desperate fight,
in which the French lost five officers and
fifty-three soldiers killed. Of the pirates
125 were found dead after the battle.
A Frenchman named Roulez fought four
duels in Paris, the challenges being the out.
come of a quarrel at the opera house. All
four of his antagonists were wounded, one
of them probably fatally.
The trustees of Cornell university at a
meeting at Ithaca, N. Y., unanimously

that the conference will be held in Paris.
James Douglass and two Tennesseeans,
James O. Harter and George Davis, were
arrested in New Brunswick, N. J., accused
'of being connected with a green good:
scheme. The southerners resisted the de
tectives and were captured after a. fierce
battle.
In the Methodist general conference at
Omaha Dr. Tigert, of Baltimore, was hissed

tend to delay the union of the two churches

The prospect is that the engineering con-
gress, which is to be held in Chicago in 1893
under the auspices of the World’s Congress
Auxiliary, will be a gathering of very green
scientific importance.

notified Director General Davis that the re
