CATHOLICISM AND coMMoE SCHOOLS.


The following extract from the report of
WN. B. GILL1s, Esq, the Superintendent of
Common Schools in Elk County, develops a
beautiful state of affairs!-
ssOf the two schools reported by that district
(that is BeniZer township,) one is taught by
NUNS or SISTERS, as they are called, and is un-
der the direct supervision Of The PRIEST. 1t
numbers about seventy-fiye female pupils, and
the teachers ARE PAID OUT OF THE PUBLIC MON
Eys, The entire community are German Cath
oiicS, and the school is NOTHING LESS than a
NUNNERY! The directors WILL NOT ALLOW
NE TO inspect those teachers, or set feet inside
the building, on any consideration. Still they
expect aid, as heretofore, from the State ap-
preparation. Are they entitled to it I? Does
our system recognize such schools?''
We should like to hear what apology "a DEM
ocrafic paper and other similar sorgans,' can
make for portion of the people of this Com
monwealth who thus openly set the laws at de-
fiance, and prevent public officer from dis
charging his duties. Is it any wonder our
people should be aroused, when nunneries are
thus kept up in our midst, By appropriations
from the STATE? Think of it-a public shool un-
der the ssdirect supervision of The Priest!"
If they can thus successfully disregard and
trample upon law placing the public schools
of the Commonwealth under the supervision of
a Superintendent, how long will it be, think
you, if they had full sway, before they succeed
in destroying the cardinal principles of our
government-religious liberation, and free
dom of the Press?
The simple fact that the law has been open.
iy set at defiance, and Superintendent pre-
vented from diseharging his duties, because
he is a Protestant, is enough to startle every
American, and cause him to rise in arms
against such treason to the State. We sincere
Iy hope that the insult shall be at once rebuk-
ed, by -withholding the State appropriations
from all schools that sit with closed doors, in
open defiance of the laws of the land.

BANK EXCITEMENT.

The editor of ssa democratic paper,'' actual
ly succeeded last week in producing an sex
element" It was discovered by s.the faith
full about the time he was working off his
paper that it contained an article in opposi-
tion to the Bank, when some of them called
upon him to demonstrate, and inform him that
his article :'was not the sentiment of the Dem
ocratic Party The ''fghting editor" got
his dander up, and nothing but his ssgray-
hairs saved one Of our most worthy and res.
pectable citizens from getting trouncing.
('that is if the editor had proved able to car
ry out his threats.) Finding, as the song says.
''that there was no use in talking,'' the gen
tlemen left him joined to his idols and pro-
ceeded al once to get up the following card,
which speaks for itself:--

A RosIsH PRIEST ON REPUBLICANIsH-W
learn from the Hickman (ky.) Times, that
Roman Catholic Priest, living in that county,
preached a sermon near Wilburn few days
since. in which he attempted to prove that
Republican Government was wrong IN prinel-
nle in practice and in morals; that it was
contrary TO the laws of God and nature, ruin
Gus to the interests of the true church, (the
Roman Catholic,) and that all who were MEM
bers OF that church should do everything in
their power to break down and destroy any
such goyernment.-.4nneric icQn Trumpet, Vest
minister, Maryland.
This is the sentiment of the whole Roman
Church. And those in it act up to the sentl-
ment. Romanism and Republicanism are direct
and positive enemies, and canneverexist safely
and peaceably on our soil. There is nothing
which the Pope of Rome more desires, and
which all his policy is shaped to obtain, than
the downfall of this Republic.-CrGsader-

David EtZWiIer.
As we presumed, Of course, the Editor back
ed out of his position, when he found that
the sparty would mt 'follow suit This difficult
ty has, at least, developed one fact, which we
long expected, and that is, that "a democratic
paper is not the organ Of the Democratic Par
ty. We were always loath to believe that the
intelligent members of that party in CIearfeld
county endorsed the slang and abuse weekly
poured out, by that sheet, on their Protestant
American fellow citizens who saw proper to
ayow their hostility to political Roman Cathol-
ocism, and foreign influence.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

We look to our American friends, this spring,
for their aid and assistance. Our bold and
open course on the American question has
called down upon Us the maledictions of the
Jesuits and their allies, and as the exponent
of American principles, our paper ought, and
We have no doubt illreceive liberal support
in the way both of advertising and subscrip-
tions. We place it, with full confidence, in
the hands Of our friends.

THE NEWS.

st the last dates from Sebastopol, all was un-
certainty in relation to the assault. The prep
arations were going on, and the troops We're
impatient, Dut the officers were still anxious,
nervous and distrustful of success. The Rus
slams continued to make sorties, but were al
ways vigorously repulsed. The weather had
improved, and fortunately, for the fuel was
giving out, and dfficulty was experienced in
obtaining enough to heat the ovens. There
was also great scarcity Of forage, so much so,
that for several days, none had been served
out, even for the superior officers. In other
respects there were comparatively few COM
plants. One letter states, that the English
were still able to parade about 10000 capable
men. The time ofassault depended upon two
things, the condition of the weather, and the
arrival of reinforcements. y correspondent
Of the London Times says
sEThe French are extremely anxious for the
assault Onr army has long been in a condi-
ton which induces it to prefer anythingt to the
trenches. It may easily be imagined that Gen
eral Canrobert is becoming less popular among
his soldiers than he was Gen. Bosguet, who
command the French movement at Inkermann.
is rising in favor, as he is known to be in favor
of the bayonet."
The same writer says:
"Every day strengthens the correctness of
Sir John Burgoyne's homely saying about Sc
bastopol-'The more you look at it, the less
you viii like it, Three months ago that Off
Ger declared his sopinion' to be that the place
ought to be assaulted. Now Gen. Mel comes,
and we hear that he laughs at the notion of
our reducing the place by the fire of artillery.
However, we shall have tremendous fire for
them, and shower of 13-inch shells, each of
which weighs about 200 lbs, will be an ex-
tremely unpleasant addition to the storm we
shall direct upon the Russians.''

" 1889 From the Louisville Journal.
TWO YEARS OLD. rHf
Is there on this cold selfish earth aa5s ri
One heart % cruel as to scod e~srssss
A roguish boy, brim-full OF mlrth,
And like my pet, just W years old!
For fun and mischief seem to leap
Through his blue eyes from Robby's heart,
As from a harebelps chalice deep,
The half imprisoned sunbeams dart.
IIeot q switch the other day,
Just half inclined to whip my pet, rli
But on the mantel slowed away,
That switch, unused, is lying yet. ID
For when | shook it DER his head, s93
M He danced about half-wild with glee,
Then quick behind the table fled, as0Aa
And, feigning fear, peeped out at me.
What could | do but laugh at that
Nor did my ct Of laughter fail
To make him worse-for to the cat
He sueaked, and pulled her long sleek tail
Until poor pussy mewed aloud,
And then l shook the switch once more,
E And many ~whippings inly vowed 7
For little Bob were still in store. ah
But when cried with half a frown)
boa s"YOu'u hurt the cat, You nauSnty pOyE r
He Rugged her up, and smoothed her down,
q Untl poor pussy purred with joy. &ar'
q rlove through all his mischief flows,
And gentle feelings softly beam
Through his wild mirth, like some sweet rose
81 ReAected from q gushing stream.
From mornings dawn, till set Of sun, 9.5el +
His feet and fingers never tire, g a o.
He steals the poker for : gun, .as.a 10
And takes the broom 70 poke the fire;
Then with a cunning look he'll stand
Ia Upon the highest chair in reach, s4 =
And shouting loud, with oufstretched hand,
Pretend to make q mighty speech.
In every nook or corner sly,
His rognish eye il sure to peep,
And Grandma's pocket he viii try
To fathom-be it e'er so deep.
He pulls the buttons of my dress,
And then says 'look." My pretty boy!
When I might scold, ! pause to bless
Thy upturned face, 90 full Of JOY.
s. His fathers hat he loves to wear,
5s9i And, hiding half his tiny head,
q A glow Of beauty, rich and rare,
d Upon that old black hat is shed,
For meath its brim, 80 dirk and deep, 9 az
His dimpled face, all bright with bloom,
Peeps out, a. rosy vaposs peep
y Sometimes from clouds of Wintry gloom.

this she became abusive and called him poor
white dog. He then struck at her with his open
haLd, immediately after which she seized a stone
and threw it at him with great violence.
Two or three witnesses were introduced for the
defence, who proved her to be quiet, well behaved

"SPENsER AND THE FAIRY QUEEN-By
John $. Hart, L. L. D."-The essay, in
the language of DIR. Hart, is an attempt to re-
produce under modern forms, some of the
glorious and ennobling ideas of Spenser.
These ideas are presented partly in prose, in
the language of the Essayist, and partly by
extracts, in the language of the Author. with
the spelling modernized so far as the RHYTHM
and the rhyme of the verse would permit.
The work is published in beautiful stvle
by Hayes g. Eel, Publishers, 1913, Mark at

is a native Of Richmond, and has, in a most
liberal spirit, lately made donation of about
thirty volumes of excellent books to the Ii.
brary Of the Mechanics Institute, acco7npa.
