noS. HENRY NJ. FULLER.

We are pleased TO find that the conserva-
tive feeling Of the North is settling down with
much apparent unanimty upon this gentle
House Of representatives. His individual
claims and those OF the Keystone State, which
he in part represents, are great. and we sin
cerely trust they will be regarded. Mr.. Fuller
has the legislative experience end decision Of
character which are requisite for the presiding
officer of the lower branch of Congress (; is
sound on all the controlling questions of the
day; lover Of his country at large and not
warped by narrow sectionalism. and would
dignity the position in connection with which
he mas been named. If Pennsylvania makes
an urgent claim on his behalf for the Spea-
kership, we do not see how she can be dlsap-
pointed by eGusal.--Phiia. Sun.

THE BRITIsH WHEAT CRoP.--A recent es-
innate of the British wheat crop, published
by Mr.. John Card, in the London papers,
has attracted attention on the other side,
from the fact that it reduces the deficit, as
compared with 1884, to one-tenth, and the
growth of last year being unusually heavy,
the writer assumes that 2,sl2,50O quarters,
or 22,500,0O0 bushels will supply the defcien-
Kingdom, which, he says" "is little more than
one-half the average annual importation Of
the last five years" His figures for the crop
Of 1855 are l5,lSI, 800 quarters; the wants ol
the Kingdom ls,000,00o quarters.

RS IIox. Henry NJ. FULLER, Of Luzerne,
has been iavorably noticed by many of the
whig and American papers, in connexion
with the Spcakcrshp in the next Congress.
Mr. Fuller is a gentleman highly esteemed
by oil who know him, and by all parties. His
election in strongly democratic district is
the best proof of this fact. A more popular
presiding officer could not be selected. We
quote the following article on this subject,
from the PHILADELPHIA Dnily Sun:

Rachel may be an angel, but she is fali-
en- one. Her reputation as an actress is un-
doubtedly superior to any living PERSONS, and
probably we might extend this 10 the past
as well as the present. But she is no Jenny
Lind in morals, and she can never carry with
her the heart of the American people. A
foreign correspondent of the n. Y. Sunday
Courier, in giving a sketch of her career,
says:
"The very passions which give her such
power as an.actress, make her desires nat
urally more vast and violent than those OF
other women She is described by her low
ers as being Unsuitable and all-devouring in
her passion while it lasts. But when it ceas-
es, as it often does suddenly, she is equally
cold and heartless in casting her temporary
husbands aside. The most re markable Of her
af1aiIes de oeur, both in duration and in
deed every respect, was that with Count
Walewski, lately French Ambassador in
London, and now Foreign Minister in Paris.
He is natural son of the great Napoleon
and Polish lady of remarkable beauty, for
whom he conceived, one night at a ball at
Warsaw, an immense passion, and had her
in her ball dress conveyed TO his chamber
that night, the consequence of which was
Count Walewski. In appearance he is the
most like Napoleon of all his children. He
speaks without reserve of his connection
with Rachel, of whom he thinks most kind
ly, and he lavishes the greatest praise, strange
to say, on her amiability and gentle home
fascination.
''They lived together for some years, and
the fruit Of their love is, think, three chill
dren. Rachel has four others. by whom
Heaven knows. Rachel is most devoted to
her children, and brings them up at her own
expense solely, with the most motherly care.
If she is tigress in passion, she is also in
devotion to her tiger babes"

Catholic church gained footing. now con-
tans eight hundred and seven Protestant

by the Catholics. who now have fifty-fve
churches in the State, while the Protestants
have two hundred and forty-seven congrega-
uons. In Texas. the Catholics were the first
sect in point Of time they now have thir-
teen churches, but the Protestants report
three hundred and seven societies in the state
The number Of Episcopal, Lutheran and Ro-

throughout the country. but each Of the three
denominations, have about one eleventh of
the number of the Methodists, scarcely one
eighth that of the Baptists, and not one fourth
that of the Presbyterans. The entire Prot

with that of the Catholic, is about twelve
