The Storer Dicorce Case,--It will be re-
collected that the Honorable Bclamy S,orer of
Cincinnati, late member of Congress, several
years ago attempted to get divorce from his
wife, charging upon her violation Of marital
rights. The proof adduccd not being of q
sufficiently specific character, the Court re-
fused the application. Mrs. Slorcr having now
applied for divorce on complaint of three
years wilful absence, the Supreme court at its
late sitting in Cincinnati, granted divorce, and
allowed her alimony to the amount of about
three thousand dollars.

WE, the undersigned, having had ample op.
portuni;ies Of becoming acquainted with Dir.
MCORMICK'S qualifications as a Dentist, take
great pleasure in rendering this certificate of our
entire confidence in his ability and skill in the de-
partment of Surgery which he pursues. DR..
M'Cormck's education as PHYSICIAN, renders
him peculiarly qualified to Judge Of the propriety
cooperating on the teeth, and certainly entities
him to degree Of confidence which cannot be
placed in those who practice Dentistry as a me-.
chanical art merely, having no knowledge Of the
subject as science. We feel assured that a
trial of DR.. M'Cormick's skill and judgment
will result in giving entire satisfaction to ali who
need and take ad vantage Of his services.

HNOWLEDCE rs POWER.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
Ia late admirable report by Horace Mann,
sachusetts. the following striking exempll6cation
10 introduced Of the maxim that knowledge Is
powers"
M. Redslst, in his work. sSar P.7rt De Bafir,'
gives <he following account Of an experiment made
10 test the different amounts Of force witch, un-
Ger dinelent circumstances, were necessary to
move block Of squared granite, weighing 1850
lbs.
s.In oraerto move this block along the floor Of a
roughly chiscsied quarry, it required force equal
to 75S lbs.
ITO draw the same stone over floor Of plahks,
II required force eqeal to esq lbs.
Placed on a platform Of wood. and DRAWN over
che same floor, it required COG lbs.
s.By aping the two surfaces Of wood, the re-
quisfte force was reduced to lSS lbs.
'.Placed on rollers Of three inches diameter, and
= force equai to 81 lbs. was sufficient.
''Substituting wooden for stone floor, and
the requisite force was 90 lbs.
''With the some rollers wooden platform,
1t required force equal to % lbs. only"
eat this point, says Mr.. Mann, the experiments
Of M Redeiet stopped. But by improvements
since effected, in the invention and use Of ocomo-
uvcs on railroads, traction or draught of eight
pounds is sufficient to move ton Of 2,2i0 lbs. ;
20 that force Of less than four pounds would now
DO sufficient to move the granite block of 1850
lbs; that is, one hundred and eiglNy-eight times
less than was required in the FIRST instance
When, therefore, mere animal or muscular force
was used to move the body. it required about two
shirds OF its own weightto accomplish the object;
but, by adding the con,rivances Of mind to tire
strength of muscle the force necessary TO move
at Is reduced more than one hundred and
eighty eight times. Here, then, is partnership,
dn which mind contributes one hundred and eigh-
weight shares to the stock TO share vontrbu-
Ted by muscle; or, while brute strength represents
one man. ingenuity or Intelligence represents one
hundred and lightweight men!

WOOL
And Wool GrO,oerS.

ring as we do in the views of Judge S. we cheerful
ly avail ourselves ofthe opportunity ofpromulgatng
his sentiments this subject, and thus contributing
as much as is in our power TO the united action of
the wool growers for the protection of their inter-
ests, well that of other branches of productive
industry. We doubt not that fellow citizens
who are interested in this branch, will improve
the occasion and forward their petitions.
Washington, March 90, 1919,
Dear sir.-The Tariff question gains strength day
by day. Even the locos, with the exception of Call
houn, Wright, and a few others, admit that there
must be a revenue which will require duty Of 80
per cent. On some articles more on some less
There petitions from all quarters TO protect the
particular articles manufactured in their respective
sectoDs;--aS for instance, from New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, to protect lron-rom halters
in many places, TO protect hats-and at last, 80
agents, with lots of petitions aud statistics, from
Wooden Manufactures TO protect the Wooden fab.
ricks, but not one word from these agents for the
protection of Wool. On the contrary, they say
Wool wants but very little protection. have heard
it asserted here by these manufacturers that YER
mont will raise wool for 25 cents per pound which
assertion would of take the liberty to con-
tradict. AS the great interest of Vermont is the
raising of wool and there are but few wooden man
ufactories, l would suggest whether it would not be
advisable to get up Petitions for the protection oil
Wool alone '-and also to appoint agent who
shall be authorized to represent that particular in
terest before the Manufacturing Committee This
is done in almost every considerable interest. Bu
l have seen but one wool man here--that was Mr.
Cuts Of Windsor Co. He was appointed at the
county meeting and has arrived. He is manufac
tuIer well wool grower, yet he is faithful t.
the wool-growing interest The same game is nov
playing here as was playedwhen the tariff was frs
laid. Then the manufacturers commended that WOO
ought to he imported free, TO encourage tht
importation and aid the manufacturers. Bus Nal
lorY, who was then at the head of the manufactur
ing Committee, commended that the farmers ought L
be protected well the manufacturers, and sue
ceeded in his object. Very few petitions have we
arrived from Vermont for protection. Our member
are anxious that they should be seBi on in goo

IL The Boston Catholic Reporter" has treated
US to another of its gentle, Christian spirited edito-
rails, written much after the fashion of the one COP
led into our paper Of the 18th utimo it being in
answer to our remarks appended TO that article
Only one passage is worthy Of reply In the midst
OF violent paroxysm of rage the editor stops short
off, throws water on his red hot coppers, and reduc-
es his temperature down to bloodheat, for an euo-
gy on George Pepper, the Catholic editor to whom
we alluded as using pr2fane language in public con-
troversy with lions Waterman. short extract
is sufficient.
1--WE suppose he alludes to George Pepper--a
man whose genius was too brilliant TO descend to
the obsenities of such him of the Herald and who
when compelled TO wal with the maligners of the
chase and ofenceless residents of convents thrust
his lance deep for aTgument-reasonabe argument
was poor weapon against calumny. Aye, it will
ever be proud monument to George Pepper that
the aspersors of his country and his faith will long
cherish him in their vengeful remembrance. lie is
now in MS grave, and the pen which he welded
with the power OF a giant intellect, is without a
guide. And it is time it should repose; much it has
done for It's religion and its country. The lofty
spirit and the gifted mind will ever find an opponent
in the mean and narrow soul, So it is with Pepper
and it is his most eloquent ePlsdph" -,
1t had been better to let the name of the indivd-
ual rest in obscuritV where we p1rposly left it-and
even then, make no unnecessary use Of It we dis
like the too prevalent custom of disturbing the ashes
of the dead with the contentious and strife of the
living; and unless reference to their name hsto-
ry and deeds can serve some necessary purpose OF
the living, the tomb should he sacred from invasion,
their fobles and crimes buried with their relics and
suffered to remain in peace. But since the editor
of the Reporter has made bold to invade the sanctu-
airy IF the dead, and passed high an eulogy upon
his memory and virtues, we will take occasion to
affirm that remarks were strictly true in every
particular; and also to say, the individual was by
no means such man as the above panegyric repre-
SCENTS him to be;-he was RO taleHted-Rot a con.
trovertist fuT rrulh-not a Christian-not gentle
man but exquisite fop-a man of narrow
mind-ioose principles-oose practice. Though
the editor of The Reporter thinks he would not "de-
scend to O6sSEnify," yet we assure him the ma
,oOuld and did descend to such. AS an instance he
wrote tragedy for the stage, filled with rapes Sc
ductions and amours. so obscene as to be unfit fo
representation in the the lre and was rejected
As to his "thrusling his lance deep for argument
we acknowledge the truth Of the assertion. Fo
one christian to call another damned liar' il
thrpsng much deeper than any Protestant eve
supposed argument to be found.
