DR LEETE RESIGNS. MaYltig received a tlitteriftg prppo Ittoo from n titui of publlsners in New Vork city topfspara a series of articles daioripttva of dlaUaotira faatarai of the anthracite region, for poblloatlon in a well known magailna, aud wish iug, also, to withdraw from the exact ing hiuI incessant c ires and labors of day-and night newspaper work. Dr. Allen Norton Leotf, for 111 t than two years editor of The Thiiu ne. lias re sigtieA lu noting the severance of his con nection with Tin: TsiBVNI the man auetueut of this p iper desires to pub licly acknowledge the steadiness aud skill which he bus cmtributed to its service, first as associate editor and later us miuagiug editor. Much of the remark ihle success which hat ebaraottrltfd the paper's progress is due to his experienced control of the news, aud editorial departmenU. Is is thj sincere hope of Dr. Leste's former employerv aud associates that the more retttul work which he will now assume shall prove as beneficial to tr. uue It as it will undoubtedly prove valuable to the reading pablic. More than a quarter of a century passed in the harness of daily newspaper pro duction it a record to look backward upon with uncommou aatisfaction. Thai it inav be the honored prelude to still more honorable achievements in tba easier walks of literary labor it the wish of all connected with this paper. THE MOODY MEETINGS. There is happily every reason to be lieve that the proposed series of out door revival meetings bv Evangelitts Moody and distinguished assistants wiH be held nex: summer, in tha twiu valleys, duriug the months of July, August and September. It is pottible that the opening services will be held in West Pttlston, out pt triLute to the fact that West Pittstoniaos were the QraJ to take action iu the preniUet. But tliers will bs a chance for each community from Carbonlale to N'anti ooka to have services of its own, pro vided these communities shall co-operate in making the necessary prepara tions. That it would be to the lasting profit of each to do this is a proposi tion hardly admitting of denial. Ail who have bad the pleasure of hiring Scriptural iruth expounded by Dwight L. Moody know already that there is nothing of the sectarian or of the bigot in his methods or in his speech. Neither, upon the contrary, is his style that which temporarily appeals to the emotions alone, and finds its only po tency in tha evanescent stimulus of psychological excitement. Mr Moody does not depirt from a community leaving behind a circling wave of what has been termed religious mania, which soon subsides, leaving In many in stances the residuum of disappoint ment and often s iritual loss. His method, instead, is eminently rational, practical and convincing. Ha does not coifine his appial to one faculty alono , but rather presents the need and pleas ures of the Chriatian life in all aspects, and with a uniform force, vividness and strength that make lasting im pression. Unless here in ficrsnton w are pre pared to deny the great good which directly resulted from the r-cent Mills' meetings, those who took cordial part in preparing for that successful revival will be in duty, as also in pleasure, bound to lend aid to the movement to hold Moody tent meetings in this viciu ity. Without ventnring upon compar isons, it can be safely fluid that Mr Moody, as a revivalist, is strong in all the elements which made Mr. Mills' 'orvicea so fff-ctive In this city, and that he j.ottesees, in addition the ad vantage of longer experience and wider renown. At a period when the agen cies of vice keep incessantly and in creasingly active, itis certainly no Una 10 contend that the cbnrch is in any danger of becoming too thorongnly in earnest. The appearance of Mr. Moody and his assistants in this section next summer, In .Scriptural exposition and song, will not crowd tna pro cesses of spiritual revival , but rather be a direct srmrce of widespread enjoy inent Mid permanent benefit. BAND WAGONS. Thero is no more pictured) ue Ameri can Institution than the band WHifon. It is of various kinds, sizes and hues; but aa a nation we proudly possess all varieties and readily exhibit each upon its appropriate occasion. Tba one most in voKUt, of course, is the political band wagon. Several such vehicles are in motion at thla writing. One very noisy one, just now, It that tilled with looters of the General Hastings horn. Some of the occupantH of this Dsrtlcular wngon blow notes that are strong and true, with tho roal ring of aincere esteem, Otners raise n din which n..l r echoes the prevailing ktynolo. These would blow just as lustily were they seated in aWatres band wagon, a Stone band wagon or a any -body-elie band wagon, l'ennsylvan ians have bad some experience with musicians of thia stamp. They are interesting, but scarcely important. Another form of vehicle very miioli In evidence now la the Corbett band wagon. It must be confessed that this is hiehly relished by the titular'hero blniBttlf, who not only accompanies the music with a personal rub u-dub-dub quite aa load and at lutty at any noise in the calendar, but even takea delight in utilizing the racket aa a leverage upon the American stage. Not every person in the Corbett baud wagon cares as much as one might thin - for James J. Corbett. In fact the expert workers of tho slide trombonea aud tubus did the same old trick iu a vehicle labeled Sullivan, aud would be just us cheerful a group if forced to chronicle the proceasiou of a Mitchell or a Jacksoo. The local thoroughfare has its speci mens ol the prv iiliug tast- in m isi oal coup s; urn ill r, of course, bu not leaa luteiaaUugi Tnar wi i time, i e i ve, Wlieu portion o HOI fellow i z ns mm I'd vw a on. otnar in baate lo gel in wbal wns d ttgOatad n J A.

SINGERLY'S CORYPHEES. The rich flavor of opera boufft pre vades the entire effort, of Pacificator Singerly to get Pennsylvania lemoc racy'l severed factious together in a dream of brotherly love and peace. It culminated Saturday, when, after great tl urilh and much hysteria of double leads on the part of Mr. Cleveland's newest editorial favorite, there was a gathering of the botsei iu Pu.u'einaUer Bingerly'a own town which resulted in nil. Interpreted iu theatrical lingo, Heavy leads llsirity vowed he waa perfectly willing to tak" a role iu the ilr-nuA of "How to Be Reconciled While You Walt," but must insitt upon occupying the center of the stage tuid monopolizing all the calcium effects. Wondering wh-re this east of characters left tbem, the McAleer, Steugtr, Marklty contingent incontin ently threw up their parts and de clared they would be blowed if they'd sigu a truce so inglorious Nor could the blandest smiles of the unctuous editorial stage-mauagor bring about auv recoutideration of this strained eusemble. The amusing feature of this high ly diverting "spectacular'' is not so much the chip-on thoii-thouldrr-bearlng of the enviout principals, al though that contributes no nn.ul part to the Kayety of nations, as it is the profound determination of William M. Siugerly to take himself seriously. No ballet master ever waved a baton more frantically at recalcitrant coryphees tiiau this newest "My Commissioner" rluigs his arms iu earnest adjurations to his belligerents to "get together." The smile of the scene widens into an ir repressible roar at the zeal of the genial stage manager, fired and accent uated all for what? Ample is the possibility of politioal theatricals. MINOS FACTS AND FANCIES. Collector Herring will not find suitable quarters for the collectorship main otfice lu Wiliii -p---- aud it Is simply a waste of time for him to look for them there. The federal building in the Boom city of the west branch is u small ami decidedly shabby affair, compared with the stately structure which rears its flag pole at Wasbiugtou and Linden. Neither will he serure u suitable place in the pretty but comatose little village iu which the new collector lives. There is only one place for the headquarters, and in that place, de spite Brother Herring's little slill bunts, they will remain. Xo gness Is surer and safer than this. The following cheerful Intelligence from tba I'litighauiton Hepublican of lust Fri dav both confirms the new hotel rumor and shown that the contemplates! struc ture will materialize within the predicted period: "V.
