'/ TuE Warsaw Union has it that “it - “is not yet thirty years since he (Carl ~ “Schurz) led his countrymen into a .- “revolution from which many did not.

It is certainly news tous ~ that Mr. Schurz “led his countrymen . intoa revolution.” He was then be- ! tween 18 and 19 years of age, and . though an ardent lover of freedom, ~ . we have yet to learn that he was'con- ~ spicuously connected with that revolutionary movement, much less its ' leading spirit. LAI :

WE HEARTILY subscribe to the following from the Ft. Wayne Sentinel : “The noble attitude of the Nebraska Democracy is due, it is said, to the timely presence of the Hon. M. C. Kerr, who induced the leaders to take abold and manly stand for.the “peoples’ money,” gold and silver, and no paper not based thereon, Mr. Kerr is no trimmer and does not weaken fn the thickest of the fight. = He is not of those who say we are in favor of a return to specie -payments through the indefinite’ expansion of the green: backs. e idoes not temporize with evil, but attacks it at once. No matter how the timid members of his party may take water, hie will'remain steadfast to his principles. We-are glad to record the fagt-that Mr. Kerr is an Indiafiian. : i

. Tuge Chicago Inter-Ocean vehement1y protests against the -assumption that the republican party is a hardmoney party. - It declares that g'i_othing is farther from the truth. For once, we are obliged to say that the Tnter-Ocean has uttered an undeniable truth. The republican party is exclusively responsible for all the mischief wrought by injudicious financial legislation, and it is also responsible for the delay of specie resumption. Whatever ‘has been done by way. of infla tion, is the work of Republicans.— There is no denying of this fact. That Ohio Democrats are seeking to relieve the Republicans of these blunders by championing inflation does not remove the responsibility. It'only shows that a short-sjghted and foolish set of fellows have gained control of the organization in Ohio and that these fellows are engaged ina lively job at pulling chestnuts out of the firet— to accommodate the Republicans. | :

- . JUDGE PERSHING, the democratic \ ‘nominee for Governor of Pennsylva- " .mia, although placed upon’a platform _ almost similar to that of Ohio as re- / gurds finances, does not. renounce the - time-honored hard money doctrines of .’ the democratic party.' He says in his letter of acceptanes:: “I will add, that I adhere to the\doctr'ine always held " by the democratic party, that gold and ~ silver constitute the trué basis for a _ bank note circulation.” Had Gov. Al~%n remained true to the principles -~ which he so persistently advocated before he allowed himself to become a ~ tool of the Cincinnati Enquirer clique, -~ he might have retained the confidence . and respect of his friends and associ- - ates of former days. Pershing says . "gold and silver constitute the true __ basis for a bank note circulation;” * Allen declares such a basis to be “a . d—d barren ideality.” Inother Words, - ' Pershing adheres to the old democrat- ~ ic doctrine as- espoused by Jefferson; " Jackson, Benton, Silas Wright, and : other recognized expounders of true * democratic gospel, while Allen has -~ * embraced the theory of Thad. Stevens. ~and-Pig-iroh Kelley, viz: that money may be made of leather, bark or rags ~as well as of gold.and silver. i . Tue BANNER has taken its position ~on the finance que?tion, and intends ' to maintain it, regardless of anything __° that may be said by the conductors of - biased journals or politicians without ~ fixed printiples. © We have devoted - months, if not yedrs, to an investiga- ~ tion of this important question, and ~ have from time to time given expres- ~ sion to the views thus formed in such ° manner as our judgment dictated. . Considered from a, political stand- ~ point, our views are in exact harmony ~ with thedemocratic national platform .as adopted at Baltimore in 1872, and ~ since re-afirmed by all the democrat.ic State conventions save Ohio, Penn- ;% ivania and one or two otfér States. . when its cliampionship was confined ~ to the republican party, and we are hove e (I suostion ofp 0 o e r = %;'L’:i@;:%ﬁﬁifﬁ’:

-~ PREDICTIONS. = " The election. in Ohio takes place next Tuesday. The Tesult is awaited with intense anxiety. Politicians, journalists, bankers, merchants, man:ufact‘urers, farmers, mebhanics,%_labor—ers; in fact, everybody, have their minds fixed upon Ohio. Predictions are now the orderof the day. Ben Butler says Uncle Bill Allen will be elected by 30,000 majority; Wykoff, the chairman of the Ohio Republican State :Central Committee, avers that Hayes ,will be elected by: 20,000 majoritys Gen, Ewing figures 40,000 for Allen; ex-Secretary Curry says. there is no longer a doubt about Hayes’ triumphant election; the Cincinnafi Enquirer says Allen’s re-election 'is a mere matter of majority; Mrs. Molloy, of the Elkhart Observer, who! has just returned from Ohio, feels confident. that Hayes will come out ahead.— Thus do political prognosticators vary in . their estimates. “I told you so,” “just as I expected,” “not a bit- surprised,” will be heard in every town and hamlet throughout the United States. ' Somebody is going to be surprised, disappointed, chagrined. 'Who that somebody will be, we shall .not undertake to say; election is tog near at hWand to venture a prediction—on paper. | - C

Whatever the result may . be,-one thing may be set down as a.settled fact, and that is, political parties will experience a lively “stirsing up:” If Allen is elected, there will be a fierce' contest between: the “Softs” and the “Hards;” should Hayes be elected, the Republicans will pass through a like experience. The followers of Kelley, Butler, Field & Co. will surely kick up a rumpus, and take immediate steps towards independent action. = - e — -E—- -' WOODFORD AND EWING.

A great intellectual battle is being fought in Ohio by these gentlemen. They are holding joint discussions on the finance question, Woodford contending for hard money and‘ Hayes, and Ewing for greenbacks and Allen. Both are eloquent and effective stump speakers. It must be a rich treat to listen to their efforts. Their meetings are largely- attended, and, as usual on ‘such occasions, both sides claim the victory.” The regular correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer -thus describes the distinguished disputants: o g ! ~ In speaking, Woodford works on his audiernce like a whirlwind charged with electricity. He has a wonderful magnetism, a wonderful command of words, a wonderful knowlédge -of human feelings, a wonderful way of playing on. them, and a wonderful voice, that is so sweet in its modulations, that as a man -said to me last night, if he spoke without saying anything he would captivate an audience! General Ewing is-slow and deliberate, dignified-and ponderous. He only strikes one blow' while Woodford strikes two, but he'hits harder. Woaodford is a field-piece, Ewing a heavy. siege gun; the mark where Ewing’s shot strikes will remain long after Woodford’s has been effaced. Woodford, in his thought,'is quick and sentimental, and hardly gives expression to'sentences that appeal tothe head ‘without tinging it with an expression that appeals to the feeling.- Ewing is slow and metaphysical. He.seems to scorn the tricks of oratory and attempts to convince by logic alone without the aid of feelings aroused by sympathy. He blows a steady- gale with only an occasional flash of lightning. T s 5

OUR DE)EOCI;;IE FRIENDS in PennoG ¢ . : S 2 sylvania are slow.to turn against the “true basis,” even though the Ohio rag baby was forced upon them in the Erie convention. - The distinguisheﬁ chairman of their State Central Com‘mitteé, the Hon. Hendrick B. Wright, gays in his address to the people of Pennsylvania: R We claim that the democratic party has always been and is now in favor of asound, and stable currency, and have uniformly opposed the mercenary inflations that have so often disturbed and destroyed the business, of the country. Composed as the democrati¢’ party is, in large part, of the labor of the -nation, it is essential to its best interests' that all needless fluctuations of the ‘currenecy should be .avoided, and it is entirely safe. to say that with the'government in their hands lies the only hope -of reaching the specie standard as the basis of our currency. It is no part of its mission or its destiny to abandon this idea. . We are glad to learn from such high authority that while that. Ohio bastard has been laid on the door-steps of the Pennsylvania Democracy, the legitimate occupants of that mansion’ persistently refuse totakethe unnatural thing to their bosom. By allowing it to remain there,without care or atfention, all ‘may not be lost in Pennsylvania. .. - =

. ScHURz is stumping Ohio for the Republican cause. - All the- papers. that used to double-lead him as a “traitorous foreigner,” -a kind of a scurvy political tricksterin the pay of the French government,-are of the opinion that he is an able, clever, honest, bully sort of a fellow.—South Bend Herald. ; !

Just so. 'And we netice, also, that some of the papers that lauded the same géntleman so highly about that time for his bold and fearless independence in denouncing the’ wréng and advocating the right, are now applying similar epithets and using like “arguments” to break the force of his masterly defense of the principles he advocated in 1872. It is some consolation to'know that Mr. Schuz can “gtand it.” 1 4

JAMES CAIRD, whom the 7imes eon siders high -authority, writes. that journal as follows of the -crops in Great Britain: The publication of the returns of acreage,.exhibits the smallest breadth of wheat we have had sinee the returns have been taken, and a half million acres less than the average extent previous to 1860, when we had 40,000,000 and fewer people. The decrease in Ireland has been 14 per cent. from 1874, and in Great Britain the decrease has been nearly 8 per cent. He estimates the amount of ‘wheat required from abroad at 11,000, 000 quarters. i : il

GOSHEN CORRESPONDENCE.

_The well-disposed citizens of this little city met at the City Hall last Saturday evening to see what could be done by way of furnishing entertainment for the young. It.would not be proper to say -that all the “well-dis-posed” were in attendance, but it is generally conceded that many more will be out at the next meeting. It is evident that no town can elevate the moral sentiments of its people without affording means by which the intelligence and refinement of its citizens may be fostered and encouraged. The growth of moral ideas must have their roots deeply seated in a fertile intellect, because the moral sentiments always come from within, and are not dependent upon the external surroundings for their existence, though externals often modify them and give them shape and permanence. The old adage that “an empty brain is the devil’s work-shop,” is a self-evident fact, and in order to remove the works of the devil from communities we must store the mind with useful knowledge. To this end, reading rooms are indispensible, but by no means/the only auxiliary.; Education is a something that is free to all, and the means to dbtain it are always at hand, providing people think so. The idea that education is only to be found in-books and the schools, is a preposterous notion which fosters ignorance dnd indolence. °

The poor Indian, though living in a ‘savage state, is educated to a degree often excelling the schools in that which is practical and useful. . He does not possess the book learning, it is true, that our sehool men possess, but that knowledge which enables him to_meet all his physical wants. A mind that is stored with nothing but book learning is not the mind tomove the progressive elements of communities. . Books are-aids,not final results, to which the mind must conform and formulate all its processes. We, then, ‘once more say that reading rooms are good and should by all means be encouraged in every town, but there are ‘many other elements which, if ‘not manipulated and brought'to. the aid of the reader, the mere reading will prove time wasted. Those who depend not upon their own mental powers, but upon mere book knowledge, too often verge into mere plagiarists. They are apt ‘to forget that others read as well as they, and in their forgetfulness they-attempt to force upon the public their productions as being the products of their own mental activity. The moral phase of such stealing, ‘'when practiced by those who claim for themselves erudition ‘and great mental powers, is more pernicious than horse stealing. It has a tendency to make hosts of thieves out of the millions of book worms. “The most deplorable cage of this kind which has recently game to our notice is to be found in the Independent of Sept. 80,-1875. The aggravating character of the matter is to be found in the fact of the person being an editress of a Northern Indiana paper, an associate editress of an Indianapolis journal, and a public lecturess on moral questions. Lo n e

The editor of the Goshen T'imes, in his notice of “Fine Arts in' Goshen,” has struck the whole matter a most terrible ‘blow, and'it is to be feared that the Fine Art Gfallery will be minus the productions of Goshen’s only artist, Mr. Wunderlin. The 7'¢mes has not been over-cautious in selecting words in which to dress the “fine art” notice, and it is_generally supposed that another editor of this district will be persecuted with a libel suit. The plaintiff no doubt has good cause of action, for the T'imes editor, in discoursing upon his oil painting, says: “The artist brought out many exquisite points, demonstrating a delicate touch and establishing the fact that he is possessed of a highly-manured intellect !” If Mr. Wunderlin does not sue the editor for -slander, it is certainly not for want of cause of action. ’ JOHN.

We are glad to note that our brother co-laborer to the north of us, who presides over the columns of the Ligonier BANNER, is enjoying a season of rejoicing over the action of two or three .Democra%ic State Conventions, on the financial .question. The Post rejoices with the BANNER, and hopes that in the future that journal will be more liberal in its opinions, and not so free to hurl anathemas on the heads of those Democrats who disagree with it on” minor questions, but are just as good Democrats as the BANNER man.—Columbia City Post. Do you classify the finance question among “minor questions ?” _ If so, you will at once involve yourself in a quarrel with father Allen, Sam Carey, Tom Ewing, and the. other apostles of the inflation doetrine. They say the finance question is “the only question” before the people, and we don’t think they would deliberately mis-state the issue, : '

By the by, Bro. Brown, we are delighted to learn that you rejoice with THE BANNER, and we earnestly hope you will in the future be more considerate in passihg judgment on contemporaries who claim the right of expressing their views with the same freedom that you claim for yourself. Eet us have a fair shake all around.

THAT the doctrine of-gsecession is emphatically renounced by the southern people, is thus instanced by the Baltimore Sun: :

“Montgomery, Ala,, was the first capital of the Confederate States.— There the confederate government first established itself, and the first confederate Congress assembled. It is extremely notable that the Alabama constitutional eonvention, which is now in session in Montgomery, and is demociatic by a large majority, has unanimously adopted the following as a section of the new constitution which: the convention is framing for Alabama:. ‘The people of this State accept as final the established fact that from the federal union therecan be no secession of any State.”” We believe it would be a good plan for all the Southern States to imitate this' example. It would completely spike Morton’s gun.

THis plank in the platform is what helped the Democrats of Maine to reduce the republican majority to less than four thousand; #A sound currency, coinor its equivalent, essential to stability in business, steps toward specie pAyments, lﬂd 1o ptb‘p bﬂk”ﬂfd.” ¢ Bt o } ; | e O~ G — i A Swedish ,p’mungr-ltamr has been burned in the North Sea with thirty-five persons on board, e e e : e i Lo s e

Perusing the columns of THE BANNER regularly, in vain do I look for those interesting epistles to the Romans, from the pen of “Alexis,” and the timely-advice to the farmers, and others, from the pen of “Uncle Toby,” and T have had to content myself with a few squibs from “Vindex,” vindicating Garrett City, the city of swamps, from the attacks: of its rivals and jealous neighbors. Now, gentlemen, I have taken up the cross once more as a newspaper -correspondent, ‘and will you not follow me in this honorable undertakirig? If the currency should be inflated shortly, the editor of THE BANNER, by and with the.consent of the stock-holders, will certainly increase our salary to fifty cents a year. { : .

The season for harvesting crops be- l ing about over, it is an easy matter to | survey the field and arrive at a defi- ! nite conclusion as to the material earnings of the agriculturists. Although a total failure of the winterwheat crop was predicted in the spring, those over-frightened and al-Amost-goi'ng—to-starvé—to-death farmers were happily disappointed. They received a fair, average yield of wheat, .oats and corn, although the quality of the former is not excellent. 1t being .grown and> considerably shrunken, the prices are anything but satisfac-’ tory to the producers. - Wheat of good quality, however, commands $1.20, or thereabouts.. I should call this a good price for that cereal, taking the state of trade into consideration. The majority of the articles I‘égarded as’ the necessaries of life can be bought as low as they could in times of specie payments, and in some instances even? lower. What, then, is the cause of all this complaining? Some men are born never to be satisfied. <

The state of health' in this vicinity has not been very excellent. There have been several cases in ‘town of typhus- and . typhoid fevers. Two deaths haveoccurred in town recently, but neither of them from the above fevers. A Mys. Shambaugh died recently,- and last Friday merning, Oct. 1, Dr. Franklin Fryer left this world’s cares, after lingering in agony four weeks. <

: Robert P. Barr is teaching a term } of three months in the town schoolhouse, and when this work is completed Mr. Barr will have’to retire to private life and prepare his soul for ‘ that event which is sure to come some day, as, according to his assertion, the church people routed him at tfile school-meeting last Friday evenﬁlg and.voted in Mr. Edw. D. Haines, LD to teach the winter school, as | the assistant of Rev. Geo. A. Harter. Rob. says; as he can’t find employment ' elsewhere, ‘on -account of hard times, #® is going to Ohio to make stump speeches and advgcate an increased issue of the currency in order to make times better and money plentier. In spite of the frequent exposure of the fallacies of inflating the currency, and the consequent unsettled condition of affairs and values, yet there are a number of persons who even assert that there can’t be too much currency ; that if the Government wouldissue $1,000,006,000 more it would be the greatest blessing that could.befall the people; and no ‘matter how you prove to them that if the . laborer.ob‘tains three dollars for a day’s work, instead of one dollar and fifty cents as at the present time, and must then pay twenty cents for a yard of calico that' can now be bought for six cents,. he would gain nothing and lose much by the new order of things, they will not listen to you. They will hear only the one side of the question —that which promises a larger supply of rag money, and, as a natural consequence, more of those dreadful panics. The! inflation folly is.so firmly planted in the minds of some people that, were a dozen able speakers addressing them every day, portraying the evil effects which must inevitably result from such a policy, they could not. be chang‘ed in their convictions. Con. Sullivan, of :Rome City, the other day appeare’dg?beféfe “Esquire Ihrie, swearing oyt a warrant for the i arrest of two other Irishmen, who, he 1 claimed, had assaulted *him —one of them putting his arm on Sullivan’s back. The two men. were arrested, but were again discharged, as Sullivan had no ‘proof of the alleged ass'ault"l and, ori the other hand, both defendants swore that nobody had touched -plaintiff. The trial was rather inter- | ‘esting, as each fellow appeared as his | Eown lawyer, Con. announcing to the ‘ ‘Justice that he would “shpake in ‘time; that he would plade his own } case.” But-as all were drunk, they of 1 -course paid little respect to parlia'mentary usages, and the pleas they ‘made were amusing enough but not remarkably profound. . \ ! Nearly three hundred:people from this vicinity visited the Fort Wayne %Fair. . Now, if these three hundredf had all stayed away. from Fort Wayne | '-and attended our own County Fair, it would have been better for the county and more beneficial to them-' ‘selves. There is perhaps little more to ‘be seen at a Fort Wayne Fair than at ‘a Ligonier Fair, though at a place like the former the facilities for spend‘ing money are greater and a larger. crowd is to be seen. That’s the main difference. G |

Laborers aré engaged in grading a wye for the connection of the B. & O. Road with the G. . & I. This supplies a want long felt, as heretofore car-loads of freight have had to be transferred by private conveyance and at great expense. Theß. & O. Company is also making preparations to construct a passenger house. All sorts of rumors are afloat vegarding that new paper to be started at Garrett. Kome idiots connected the editor of THE BANNER with this enterprise, but as he has his hands full in Writipg up ediforials for his own paper against the fallacies of infla-

tion, nobody credits the rumor. It is surmised, however, that Dr. Parker, having some little leisure in the prae tice of medicine, will run this new paper. Its title will probably be “The Garrett City Swamp-angel.” Although not a very elegant name, that would, nevertheless, be quite appropriate, considering the location. B An excursion train passed ghrough here last Sunday morning, from Fort Wayne, enroute to Rome City. Only one car-load of passengers were visible. S 0 o The ticket sales at the G.R. & L R.

His sympathies have always been, and must continue to be, with' the party of freedom and progress—of universal liberty and education, Though he has been severely criticised by the Republican papers for straying eyven temporarily from the party: fold, there has been no reason to doubt that he acted from sineeré convietion and-conscientious motives. He had nothing to make by breaking with the party. e has asked no favors of the Democracy,and has accept‘ed all the disabilities of the situation gracefully and uncomplainingly. If he had gone at once into;the Democratic party, and been rewarded with substantial favor, the motives of his defection would haye been obvious enough. . But he has not sought' any alliance with the Democrats, nor received any political reward from them. —lndianapolis Journal.’ How differently this sounds from what we have been .accustomed to, read ‘in the Jowrnal! During the period referred fo, nothing was too mean for the Journal to hurl at’'Senator Schurz. It was defamaiion in season and out of season.. No matter how just or truthful his utterances may have been, they were invuﬁably mebt with personal abuse and vindictiveness In short, the Jowrnal's treut—ment of Mr. Schurz was simply contemptible. Its present acknowledgment of liis ability and worth as a public man reveals most glaringly the injustice usually practiced by an unscrupulous partisan press in its treatmer}t of men who dare to follow the dictates of their consciences rather than the commands of a party caucus.

“Ais (Carl Schurz’s) speech, last winter, in denunciation of the Radical resumption bankruptey bill 'is still fresh in the minds of the people. Now he becomes its defender.”—Columbia City Post...v ~ : ‘Go.: slow, dear Post. ~Mr. Schurz voted for that resumption bill, not because he was satisfied with its provis-

ions, but because nothing better-could be obtained while Morton, Togan and Ferry were riding the inflation hobby. He deemed a congressional declaration that specie payments shall be resumed in 1879 better than nothing at all But Mr. Schurz has not “become its defender.” He said nothing about it. He simply spoke against inflation, and as the Post has all along professed undying hostility to that theory, we can’t see for the life of us why it should so bemean itself as to brand Schurz an “arrant knave and demagogue.” If such gpithéts are-applicable to anybody, they should be hurled at those who_ have turned traitors to principle and mnot at those who adhere to the true faith. - :

The attendance to-day was very meagre, owing, probably, to the alternate‘drizzle and heavy rain, which hag fallen all day. In seme { departments the show is superior to former ones, while in others they are hardly up to last year. = Fruits, especially, are notably deficient. . This is probably owing to the severe winter ;1_1)(1‘ the scarcity of fruits in this secion. ; ;

—The citizens of Elkharthave beent greatly annoyed, of late, by slanderous publications in a filthy sheet styled the Street Gazette, printed in the city of Chicago. Despite the vigilance of the citizens, the author of this obscene literature has thus far escaped detce-

tion. . Notice has, however, been serv-

ed upon tlie party -through whose agency the “Street Gazette” has-been placed on sale at Elkhart, that a continuation of this business will involve serious = consequences, The other night a young man named John W. Trowel was summarily ku-kluxed on suspicion of being in some Wﬁyi connected with.the odious publication. Tle persistently denied the accusation, although for two hours subjected to gross maltreatment.. The ku-kluxers finally allowed *Trowel to escape on promise to keep silent. These proceedings are.very properly denounced ]a?’ou,trageogus and wholly unjustifiahlai- ! ! ; :

o Qutraged and Murdered. ! ¢ . CoNcorD, N, H., Oct. 4—Ahothes hiorrible murder occurred at Suncook to-day. - Miss Longmade, daughter of James F. Llongmade, a highly respectable citizen of Suncook, left home this morning for scho%], having half a mile to walk, part of the way through the woods. ' Not returning at the usual hour, search was made and the woods scoured. At 8 o’clock this evening her body was found in the woods half a mile from the road, with Ler head nearly severed from her body. She had been outraged and murdered. ‘Miss Jossie Longmade, the victim of the terrible murder, was 17 years of age, pretty, and a general favorite, and was an attendant at Pembroke Academy. When her young brother returned from school the family received first intimation of her disappearance. !An alarm was at dnce given, and the people of Suncook turhped out en masse to search for her., The bedy was found several rods from the road in a clump of bushes, the head entirely severed from the body. She had been fearfully outraged. At 11 P..M. the head' had not been found. She was last 'seen this morning,’one: third of a mile from her homé.. The road to schoolis: a lonely one, with gnly two houses on the way. Officers liave gone.down from this city and detectives haye been telegraphed from Boston. G : - CoXNecorDp, N, H,, Oct. 81t is reported that a man named Drew has been arrested at Pembroke, this morning, for the murder of the girl named TLongmaid at that place yesterday, and that a mob is besieging the stationhouse at Suncook, where he is confined, The head of the murdered girl was discovered . this morning, about ten yards distant from where the body was found. | , ;

"¢ An Important Fact, The voluntary testimony of thousands establishes'beyond all doubt a fact of vital importance to the gick and debiljtated, viz; that Hostetter’s Stomagl Bitters is an absolute specific for remittent and intermittent fever, dyspepsia, sleeplessness, chronic diarrheea, and all diseases "of the stomach, liver and bowels. . The unmeditated stimulants usually prescribed in these cases. only aggravate the symptoms, instead of removing them. The Bitters, on the contrary, act as a corrective and invigorant, without producing thp yppleasant and dangerous congequences of the old school practice. The action is mild and soothing to the irritated stomach and bowels, nremoting digestion and preventing flatulence, nausea, headache and al] intestinal irregularities. A wineglgssful before meals greatly assists digestion. The convalescent may use them with great benefit, as a means of restoring strength and cheerfulness. L . 24-w4.

~ Animmense crowd gathered ut(g)uyton, Ohio, last Thursday to see (xoldsmith Maid “beat her time,” and when the record showed 2.4017 for tlie animal that made 2.14 at Boston last.year, it is to be feared that her backers among the sporting fraternity uttered wicked words.

~ An important step has been taken toward perfecting the ecclesiastical organization‘of the reformed Episcopal denomination in the formation of the Synod of Chicago and the election of the Rt. Rev. Charles E. ‘Cheney as the Synodical Bishop. an office gorresponding in its scepe and functions with the Bishoprie of a. Protestant E‘&)iscopal diogese.

It "appears that the horse-disease known as the epizootic has got as far west as Cincinnat, and it seems to be taking about the same course as it did three 'years ago. The disease hag appgared this year in 4 much ‘milder form and, thongh it is not probable that it will seriously : affect business as it did in 1872, neither is it likely that Chicago will escape the visitation. In fact, it is thought that symptoms of the disease have already been_noticed among the, horses here, whichshould prompt everybody owning or ‘in charge of horses to-take such nostrums as their former experience tauglit them to uge, Timely I);‘eca\l;tion may do much to mitigate the disease.—Chieago Tribune. = . The Catholic question has really. at‘tained tofrightful proporfions in Cant ada.” The refusal of the priests to grant to the body of Guibord sepulture. in consecrated ground has had an offset in the attack on a peaceful Catholic procession at Toronto by the protestants. It appears that the local press in°-many of the' Canadian ecities are fanning the flame of religious animosity into a devouring conflagration. This Inay perhaps be largely aecounted for by %)he fact that the different churches represent different nationalities. The (ﬁwtholics are mostly of the French and Irish races, while, the protestants are English. That both! parties are in the wrong is evident. from the character of the hostilities thus far developed.
