PoIYLED AND PRAcTIcAL.-A cores
pondent of the Shawnetown Argus, de-
scribes conversation he had with an old
and influential farmer living near Albany,
on the Mississippi river, who declares that
he should vote for Scott, although he had
never cast Wing vote before. He could
not stand it TO vote against the West. He
declared at this time, the river being at low
stage, shippers of wheat were paying twen-
ty-four cents per bushel freight from Alba
ny to St. Louis. When the river is in ordi-
nary boating stage, SO that the larger class
boats can run, the freight of wheat between
the same two places is only ten cents per
bushel. An appropriation of a few thou
sand dollars would remove all obstruction,
and improve the navigation SO as to enable
the larger class boats to run the year round,
all seasons, and thus reduce the freight to
ten cents at all times, making q difference
of fourteen cents, on every bushel of Wheat
in favor Of the farmer. But Pierce says
such appropriations are unconstitutional!
"Now, SIR" said he, ''do you think that
Western farmers are going to sacrifice four
teen cents on every lu.hel of wheat they
raise, simply to elevate such man as
Franklin Pierce to the Presidency? lrath'

That in 1898, Gen. Pierce made speech

sidered slavery social and political erH,
and most sincerely wished it had no exist
ence N the face Of the earth"
That on the 2Oth of November, 1850, at
union meeting at Manchester, n. H. Gen.
Pierce declared that ''the men who would
diSSolre the Union did not HATE OR DErLoRE
SLAVERY more than he did"
That in a speech at New Boston on the
I'd of January, 1852, Gen. Pierce declared
that slavery had been introduced into Il
portion of the States, in their colonial con-
dition, against the moral sense Of the rhoie
rorld.'
That in this same New Boston speech,
he declared that he "LoATHED" the fugi-
tive slave law-that he has "a most reyoH-
ing feeling at the giring up of a slare," and
that the ''fugitive slave law is opposed to
humanity"
That Robert G. Scott of Virginia, wrote
to Gen. Pierce. asking if he would VETO
repeal of the fugitive slave law; and that
Gen. Pierce yet fails or refuses TO answer
the question.
That John Van Buren. the leader Of the
Frcr.oil party of New York; Martin Van
Buren, the Freesoil candidate for President
in 1853; David Wilmot, the father of the
Wilmot Proviso-all support Gen. Pierce
warmly for the Presidency; besides a great
many other prominent Freesoilers in the
north who likewise support him, and who
will exert controlling influence over his
administration, if he is elected.

The Maynooth Grant.

A correspondent asks for information on
the history and existence of the Maynooth
Grant. He desires it should be in the few
est possible words. And here it is:
When the laws of England converted q
priest into felon, and set price upon his
head-the same as on that of a wolf-thev
at the same time made it treason in any Cath
olic teacher to teach the alphabet. Of course
then education was prosecuted as guilty
thing. But the kingdoms of France, Spain
and Portugal established and endowed col
leges for the education of Irish Priests
Thousands flocked TO these colleges, and
having received their education and ordina-
ton. returned TO their missions at the haz-
ard of losing their heads. They contrived
for the most part. through the fidelity of
their nOcks TO escape the wolf law, and an
alarm began TO prevail, lest they would in
troduce into Ireland the feelings of odium
that pervaded the continent against Eng
land
Then was conceived the notable design Of
establishing and endowing college for the
education of Roman Catholic priests, under
the direct surveillance and control Of the
Government. The college was built, and
sum of 100000 a wear was annually vc-
ted for its support. Visitors were appoint
ed Of whom the Duke OF Leinster, on
whose property the college stands, was one,
and the most perfect security was given that
the college would not be interfered with.
THUS, at the very time when the laws of
England would not recognise the existence
of Catholics. the Government and Parlia-
ment were paying yearly out OF the console
dated fund for the education and prepara-
ton of the Catholic priests. They paid it
willingly. too. Tor some time; but some thirty
years ago II was found that the Professors,
who succeeded the foreign lovalists. were
not over and above squeamiSh in the eX-
preston of independent sentiments. Then
arose a great din The violent tories, who
were willing TO pay as long as there was a
hope the pay would corrupt, made yearly
motions for the discontinuance of the en-
dowment. This went on for years. amid
the disgust Of the country and the Parlia-
ment. The minorities in favor of these mo-
tions were contemplate, but as bitter as
contemplate. At length, when Sir Robert
Peel was last in office, and had further de-
signs on the independence of the Catholic
Church, he began his measures by passing
an act establishing the grant as permanent.
and raising it to f50.000 per annum.
This is now the Manooth Grant.
The object 70 which it is applied is the
education of the Catholic Priests. The ed
ucation is not gratutous, but the pension is
greatly reduced, and the facilities vastly in
creased. At the same time, and although
the establishment is superior to every other
Of the kind in ireland, there are several
Roman Catholic Colleges in very flourish
ing and prosperous condition. and neither
MAMMOTH or the Grant is any longer indis-
pensable.

I5=The following notice of the Howard
High School is from the St. Louis Christian
.fdrocate. We are informed that the school

than at present, there being at this time one
hundred and eighty Students. Old Howard
has the largest School in the State, out of
St. Louis:

Danbur for that of Miss E. Jones, in the
list of teachers for the above school. This
gentleman is a native German, and was ed
ucated at the University of Marburg. His
department will embrace music, French and
German-ot the latter tongue he is master
of course, and the friends of the school may
congratulate themselves on having obtained
his services. Perhaps too little attention is
paid to the German language in most OF our
institutions. Already it is Of more real i'm
portance than the French, and we suppose
the day is not far distant, when knowledge
of the German tongue will be considered an
ularly for Western life.
The highly accomplished and amable lady
of Mr.. Danbur is also connected with this
school.
The present session promises to be unu-
sually prosperous for this institution. One
hundred and forty students were in attend
ance at the close of the first week, and the
Principal confidently expects this number
will increase to two hundred or more.
Abundant success to this and every other
worthy Protestant school from Maine to
California. 1t is to these we commit the

ladies don't like to do plain sewing, but are
ready to stitch forever at fancy work, yet
when they become wives, they will find
that they must do more or less of the for
mer, unless they happen to marry very rich
men. And SO work becomes a real trial,
because they are unused to it. For hus-
band to find that he has q wife, good for
nothing but to spend money, one that can't
even sew without having pain in the chest,
is one of the most disheartening things he
can experience; and will go very much fur
ther than what would seem, at first, more
important things, to undermine his love-"
Emma was now fairly subdued. She
had never thought of the subject seriously
before. Just from school, and as yet undis-
ciplined in household affairs, she had unih-
tentionally allowed her indispositiuh to use
full work to lead her into her late folly. She
saw that her pain in the chest was mere fan
cy, and not reality, else it would have at
tackled her also when STOPPING over her
novel or her worsted. She felt that it was
a willing mind she wanted instead of bodi-
ly strength, of which she had enough.
Her mother continued inexorable. The
shirts were made without her help, much
as she desired to assist them. Her worsted
work had now really grown distasteful to
her, but her mother would not permit her
to be idle, and so she had to persevere I'M
til it was finished.
The lesson was not over yet, however.
One day Emma wished a new ribbon. 1t
was not absolutely necessary for her to have
it, though it would have been qualification.
But her mother gravely refused to allow
the expenditure.
"No, my dear, you must go without the
ribbon. Ipaid Susan for helping me make
those shirts, just what this will cost; and
as your folly inflicted that expense on your
father, think it but right you should make
reparation. Here is an opportunity, where
by little self-denial, you can do so. You
know, my child, l have no faith in repent
ance without works"
"You are right, mamma, as you ever
are" said Emma. ''You don't know how
ashamed am of myself But please don't
say any more about it, and you shall have
no cause 10 complain of me hereafter"
Were all daughters as sensible as Emma,
and all mothers as judiciously severe as
Mrs. Harvey. the world would have fewer
idle young ladies', and thriitless wives to
show.
But alas when there is anything useful
to be done-anything that is real work-a
great many ladies', married, as well as TN
married, have PAIN rs THE CHEST.

WHAT USE HAS THE WEST FOR A Ia
R1rr?"-Such is the enquiry the Press--the
organ of Judge Douglas-puts to Its rea-

the people of the west answer. We are
quite content that the tiller of her broad

who depend upon their labor for their bread,

fabrics of European manufactures, while

avows himself opposed to the principle of
protecting American labor, receives the
suffrages of the west, and by them should be
elevated to the Presidency, the uses of Ia
