Rev. P. Keiper, pastor of the German Lutheran Church at Rockford, 111., has been compelled to resign because he drank beer. One of the curious features of the case was that all the saloon-keepers in the place were against him. But their attitude in the matter becomes intelligible when it is stated that the reverend gentleman did not pay for his beer. He asserted in his defence that he never drank more than four or five glasses at a time and was able to put his accusers under ths table in a convival contest. This power Mr Keiper considers much in his favour, but nevertheless he had to resign. The most recent fad In London and American Society seems to be the retention by ladies of their maiden names after marriage, in conjunction with the names thrust upon them by that ceremony. All ladies of money-making celebrity have caught on the new idea, and some have gone further still, by suppressing their married names altogether. With an actress, or any other lady in a public business or profession, her name is of I course a sort of trade-mark ; but the Society lady is beginning to struggle against the old custom which endorses the absolute completeness with which the maiden dies when the bride is born on the wedding day. It seems clear, therefore, that ere long it will be the universal fashion for all married women to pin both their surnames together by a hyphen, even though this rule may occasionally !
