FIRST EFFECTS OF THE CHURCH PROPERTY
LAw.-The Roman Catholic Bishopof Hartford,
Rev. Mr.. O;Rielly, is believed to have taken
passage by the steamship Pacific, and the Con-
necticut papers have fallen into the error of sta
ting that in case Of his death the church prop
erty in Connections would be confscated to the
use of the State. The law in Connecticut is the
same as that in this State. It is made "the
duty of the Treasurer of the State of Connec-
ticut, upon being satisfied of the due incorpora-
ton of the congregation or society who have
occupied such real estate, to convey such real
estate, and all the right, title snd interest Of the
State of Connecticut, to said corporation"
laws of '55, chapter 81, section 81 This would
be done here in case Archbishop Hughes should
die. The State simply acts as q sort Of trustee
to pass the property over to the rightful owners,
the congregation, when the right to hold it is
secured by law. There's no confscation about
it-N Y Herald ..

Mr.. EvRETT AND Brown CLLEGH.-At COM
plimentary interview between the Hon. Edward
Evrett and the faculty of Brown College, tho
former expressed the following just sentiments
with respect to academic education:
It may not be impairment to say single
word upon the authority which is sometimes
found in the character of Washington, to show
the inutility of academic education. Washing
ton was not college bred; even his school edu-
cation was of the most limited kind. But schools
and colleges and universities were not made for
men like Washington and Franklin. They are
exceptions-exceptions to all rules. When Prov
idence raises up such men as Washington and
Franklin she takes their education into her own
hands. Washington may acquire his education
with the surveyors chain in the Alleghanies,
while pursuing that humble occupation. Frank
lin has his in the printing Office. Hamilton has
his in the merchants counting room. Sherman
has his at the shoemakers bench, and your own
illustrious Green at the blacksmith's forge lear
ned to WELD the thunderbolts of war. Ia this
way they are each fitted by Providence for the
great career to which they are called.
No argument is, therefore, to be drawn from
cases of this kind. Universities are intended
for the mass of common minds and common
characters And who will deny for this pur-
pose institutions of this kind are the sppropri
ate discipline to conduct men from the stage Of
preparation to the stage of usefulness?
You may find, too, in the writings Of these
distinguished men, the strongest arguments in
favor Of academical education. Franklin, you
know, was one of the principal founders Of the
University Of Pennsylvania. He says that he
long remembered with qualification the education
he received at the Boston schools l we'll re-
member that the first honorable distinction OBJ

Georgia and the Nominations.

The Macon Georgia Citizen, a
strong know nothing print, smells a
mice" in the action of the Philadel-
phia Convention. We are disposed
to humor our know nothing friends
as much as possible, and hence we
viii allow Andrews, The editor, to
speak for himself. Mark it well, ye
Tennesseeans:-
ave have no words to express our
modification at the result Of the nom
ination for Vice President. Mr.. Fill
more will do for President though he
is not our choice; but as for Donel-
son, how it ever came to pass that
such third rate man, with no pre-
tensions to craftsmanship, should
have received the nomination, sur
passes our comprehension. We pre-
sumo, however, that the authority of
the Convention will be disregarded
by the great body of the American
party. Saying nothing of the re.
pudiation of the 18th Section of the
Platform of June, 1856, the nomiua-
ton of such man as Donelson will
be the neither mill stone that will
drag the nominee for President and
the party with him down to perdition.
There Can be no enthusiasm manu-
factured for such ticket on such q
platform as the National Council have
substituted for the one established
asst year. 1t will be the old story of
SySyphus attempting to roll the stone
70 the top of the hill, but though |
great effort is made and the point is
almost gained, the boulder falls back,
With momentum, to the bottom, re-
luiring repetition of the toll, with
tut any hope Of doing better next
line. Of course, then, with such
we cannot enter upon the
hopeless task. We must wait and
ZEE what will 'turn up. For the
'resent, we are nom committal.

Sherif's Sales

By an act Of the recent Legislature,
Sharilfs are required to advertise in
the newspapers sales of Lands and

the intent Of the law is to make the

in mind that the Observer has very

I The Indianapolis Journal gives thu
following extract from a lecture
given by hon. 81. w. Ellsworth, late
Minister to Sweden, being the Ian.
guage Of the Emperor Of Russia
used in an interview with the lecturer:
"Sir," said the Emperor Nicholas
in memorable diplomatic interview
between him and your speaker dur
ing those recent revolutions that
struck down Hungary, remodelled
France, and broke the bond of union
between Denmark and her revolted
Dachie, causing nearly every mon
arch to tremble for his throne. "Sir,
l view calmly all this agitation, Russia
is untouched, and will not mingle
with it Her hour has not yet come
though her destiny cannot be long
She will soon be in pro-
tracted contest, in which England
and France will be her opponent; |
those nations so long and SO naturally
hostile to each other, will be arrayed |
in unison against her!"
@And what, your Majesty, will be
The result Of this great contest?'
Favorable beyond doubt, to Rus
sia. / shall rise superior to all rever-
;es, and protraet the contest till Il
veary out n.y enemies But there is
another war looming in the distance
"a struggle between constitutional
md unrestricted monarchy, in which
learly all Europe will stand opposed /
@ Russia, while Turkey her natural
'nemy, with Persia, and ASIA will be
lighting at her side
''Still favorable to Russia, though
t will be bloody and protracted. But
third and still mightier contest is
approaching, in which the world will
'e inyolved-a struggle between
'has is called tyranny, in any form,
nd freedom. Into this struggle
our nation will be forced from its !
resent policy, and compelled to take
leading part! 1t will be struggle

Poor Wretches--

An Englishman nlmed Bowen, wht
has been on an exploring expedition
among the monasteries of Asia Minor
states In narrative of his travels re-
consly published in London, that many
of the monks Ia those institutions live
and die without ever having seen a
woman. Some of the old grey-beards
were quite anxious to know from the
tourist what sort of an animal woman
was, having quite forgotten the ap-
pearance of their mothers, the only
ladies they had ever seen. 1t seems,
from Dir. Bowen's account, that the
pictures Of female saints in the orien-
tai monasteries represent them as
frightfully ugly, it being considered
better to libel the davout sisterhood
than to risk corrupting the morals of
the friars by making the objects Of
their devotion too comely. The heav-
ems be praised that we are not Cop
tic or Syrian monk! Monachism is
bad enough where it simply enjoins
celibacy on the recluse; but the idea
of never seeing a woman even at the
confessional is positively awful.
The world was sad, the garden was wild,
And man, the hermit, ghed till woman smiled.
Considering that Adam furnished
the mltcrial out Of which the first
"w,aker vessel was manufactured,
We think that each of the old gentle
INNS male descendants has claim
to a duplicate of the original model,
and we are opposed to all laws that cut
off the entail. However, the ola re-
ligionists of Asia Minor, being igno-
rant Of what they have lost, are per-
haps just as happy as if each had
wife and sixteen children. Lot US
hope so. The Chiness young ladies
Spoken of by Goldsmith in his "Cit-
izsn of the World'') WHO had never
seen MN, were perfectly contented
with their spinster condition, until they
happened on, day, while fishing for
eels, to catch a "tangling," (the &C.
lestial for a male psrson;) but having
secured the creature, they chung to
him like barnacles to ships keel in
despite Of their mothers wise saws
and sage remonstrances. We suspect
that if the womanless communities
spoken OF by Mr.. Bowen were once
to catch a glimpse of calico pattern,
it would be all up with their asceti-
cism. II
