Souhai river, and communicating with
the French upon the Techernaya,

the next President. He is tried man, and he
came forth from his trial commanding the respect
and confidence of his opponents as web as his
friends and with a hold upon the affections Of the
latter, which time can never remove. He was
found in the path Of duty, ever acting for bis
country interest, never sinking the President in
the paftizan, and never thinking what the result
of his course might be upon his own personal pop

Lafayette and the Catholic Priests

An article, which appeared originally in the
Ohio Statesman, was copied into the Appeal

sed the the opinion that .f ever the liberties Of
The United States are destroyed, they will be BY
Romish Priests" The denial q based upon
4 letter from Jared Spark % Bishop Spaulding'
of Louisville. Mr.. Sparks letter 6 not very
creditable production. He adduces no evidence
but hopes to overthrow an historical fact By the
potency Of his individual opinion. He .often
saw Lafayette in Paris in the year IS29, and
bee us he "never heard Lafayette speak diTe-
ectflily of the Catholic Church, Mr. Sparks
concludes he did lot utter the sentiments attrib-
uted to him. The fact that Lafayette did ex-
press this opinion was published in the United
States as early as 1885, and was never contra
dicted. as far swe know until the present time.
Fortunately for the truth ofshistory, there are
persons living who heard Gen. Lafayette says
that, ssif ever the liberties of the United Stste
are destroyed, they win be by Romish priests
0neof these witnesses IS Prof Morse,of Pough-
kepsie. New York, (whose intercourse with La
fayette was Of the most intimate charactr) and Z
the other is the Rev.sDr. Vanpelt, venerable
and excellent minister, of the Dutch Reformed
Church, Of New York. When Lafayette visit
ed this this country in 1924, Mr. Vanpelt had
two special interviews with him-one on the day
of his arrival On Staten Island. before he went
to Boston, and the other after his return from
Boston. The following extract from Mr.. Van
pelrs letter covers the whole ground IN contro-
versey, and establishes the fact that Lafayette
did express the opinion attrishted to him:
"Of the conversations at both interviews my
recollectonis is vivid and distinct. "On

yette,, says the venerable Dir. Vanpelt, "after

Woman-The Difference.

The English woman is respectful and
proud, the French woman is gay and
agreeable; the italian is passionate; the
American woman is sincere and affection
ate. With an English woman love is a
principle; with French woman it is a
caprice; with an italian it is a passion;
with an American it is sentiment. A
man is married to an English woman, is
united to French woman; cohabits with
an italian, and is welded to an Ameri-
can. An English woman is anxious to
secure lord; French woman COM
panion; an italian a lover; an American
a husband. The Englishman respects his
lady, the French esteems his companion;
the italian adores his mistress; the Amer
ican loves his wife. The .Englishman at
night returns to his house, while the
Frenchman goes to his establishment; the
italian to his retreat; the American to
his home When an Englishman is sick
his lady visits him, when Frenchman is
sick his companion pities; when an Ital-
ian is sick, his mistress sighs over him;
when an American is sick his wife nurses
him. The English woman instructs her
offspring; French woman teaches her
progeny; an Italian rears her young;
while an American educates her child.
