a TrpPLER's STRATAGEM.--Sanerant re-
lates the following anocdoto of Schwartz. a
famous German painter. Having been en-
gagged to paint the ceiling of the Town Hall
at Munich, by the day, his love Of dissipa-
lion induced him TO neglect his work. aud the
magistrates and overseers Of the work were
frequently Obliged to hunt him out at the
tavern. As he could no longer drink in quiet,
he stuffed an image OF himself, left the legs
hanging down between the staging whore he
was accustomed TO work, and sent one of his
loon companions TO move the image a little
,wo or three times day, and to take it away
noon and night BY means of this deoop-
ton, ho drank, without the least disturbance,
whole fortnight together the innkooper be-
ing aware Of the plot. Tho officers came
round twice day TO look after him, and see
ing the woll-known stockings which he was
accustomed owear, suspected nothing wrong,
aud went their way, greatly cxtolling their
new convert as the most industriOus aud con
scionllous painter in the world

airy men OF England, who has outgrown many
OF the religious influences Of his childhood,

impression made on him by the habit of pray
or taught at his mothers knee -
Very singular aud 7ery pleasing to me is
the remcmberance ofthat simple piety of child

where knelt to this morning and evening de-
votion, became sacred to me as an altar.

grew up IN me, that the prayers must be said

&c" Last Thursday evening few
Of our citizens assembled at the Court
room, for the purpose Of holding rail
road meeting, and learning from Col.
Henderson,, and the Vice President. Mr.
Woodbury., Of Marshall Co., and the
Treasurer, Mr.. j. Wearc Of Cedar
Rapids, our prospects of early railroad
facilities. The meeting was rather thinlv
attended, not for the wan< Of interest
in this important enterprise but owing
to the very short notice of the meeting
The gentlemen whose name we have
just mentioned addressed the meeting
and explained the plan upon which the
company is now operating. We are
sorry to say, there was not the unan-
unity Of feeling md concert Of action
manifested which it was desirable to
see upon such al occasion. While all
hhr citizens arc extremely anxious to
have the road penetrate oiir county.
there is quite diversity Of feeling in
regard tossgranting aid, should it not
strike our town. With us, this ques-
ton is settled. Settled wcsay that twill
not reach our town. Our reasons for ar
irving at these conclusions are; first,
that. should the road be located north or
south Of us, there is not sufficient
wealth in our town and its Immediate
vicinity 70 induce the company to
make the necessary curvature to reach
US. Second, the bluffy country west
of Salt Greek, and west Of our town
through which road passing east and
west by us would have to be
cut, is an effectual barrier to any rail
road company who seek to build their
.r6ad upon an economical basis, espec-
tally when much better grade can be
obtained two miles south Of us or few
more north. Let us then like wise men
accept the proposition which in the
nature az things is the best that can be
presented.
A road two miles south Of us is much
better than no road while the same,
as far as or village is concerned, can
not be said should it pass eight miles
north.
That the road will bass south Of us
is not yet fixed fact. 1t hangs now
almost wholly upon the people Of our
town and the south part Of our county.

900 demanded, il will no doub, deter

Is Douglas a Catholic j?

Many OF the readers OF the Press IL
Tribune have expressed desire to
know how the account of Mr.. Douglas
remuneration Of Professionalism, while ut
Rome, during the summer of 1868,
reached this country. We answer,
that II was first made public through
thea.oIumns of the Feemans journal,
Of New York city, the leading organ
Of the Roman Catholic Church III this
country. Tire announcement was made
upon the authority Of letters received
directly from nosae, doubtless written
by some of the high disnitaries Of the
Church to Archbishop hughes, and
bv the latter communicated to the
F,pemun's Jomaul. The notice of this
remarkable event rs It appeared III the
above journal, il embodied in the fol
lowing article which appeared in the

wards. We quote from the Budget ).

Tic vote in this country and MARCH

ion rs 4 general ever marched IN army.
The incident to which we allude is
partially disclosed in the following ex-
tract Of letters from Paris to the Free
mans Journal, the Catholic paper IN
New York city:
Letters from Rome, received here
three days ago, announce that 4 dis
tinguished Senator of the United States
made his formal Remuneration of Pro-
tcst,niSssm, and was received in the
Catholic Church on the Feast Of Nisi-
tation (Jnly 2l) by his Emincnce Car

name of the convert, but it will not
remain long unknown
Who is this distinguished Senator, Aof
the United States? As NO AMERICAN
SENATOR IS KNOWN TO BE IN EUROPE
ATrREsENr EXCEPT JUDGE DOUGLAS OF
ILLINOIS, the eLittle Giant" it is per-
haps fair to guess that he is the man.
Judge Douglas is an able man, strong
politician, and he has fixed his heart
and his eyes on the Presidency; but if
the paragraph we have quoted alludes
to him, we fear he has taken the wrong
road"
This statement, made in 1859, has
not been contradicted to this day by
either Judge Douglas or his friends
How its truthfnlness has been confirm
ed by the subsequent action of Judge

family; the solemn baptism Of his chill

oned in full; the support ofall the Cath

ance OF Archbishop Hughes at Doug

Of the Catholic delegates in both the
