A Letter from Ex.Senator lAarris-The

The New York Herald, of August 10th,
publishes the following letter from Ex.
Senator Harris: go

thank you for your manly announce
ment in this mornings Herald in the artis
Gle headed (" The New Crisis" Your
views in that article are so wholesome that
I cannot leave the city this morning-lbe-
ing transiently here-without expressing
my gratitude. assure you, sir, that the
present attempt of party leaders to secure
political power by making the Southern
States Negro States, is most alarming, and
the people Of the North must not allow it,
success il they value their own freedom
and prosperity. If the people stop to
think, they will spurn such an attempt
with indignation. Nothing but false issues
can possibly allow such ruinous projecs
to succeed, To cheat the people, the adj
vocates of this nefarious scheme will keep
before them the idea of martyrdom, and
all that sort of thing, but the true
issue should be ever present to our mindsj
and martyrs rewarded at a less expense
than the overthrow Of our institutions
Now, sir, have done my humble part irf
the late war for the Union. Two of my
sons have fallen under the Union flag, and
my part has been in contributions, hrf6
not in the reception of single penny's
profit during the strife, but never have
wished anything but q restored Union.
For this, and this alone, have sacrificed
and not for the elevation of the Negro.
nor the Acknowledgement of the peopls Of

South are not to be restored to the Union1
then tho old copPerhead cry that the Union
could not be restored by arms, is verified.

crisis.

CHURCH ETIoUErrE.-If gentlemen will
insist, and ladies sanction foolish opera
ton seen weekly in our churches, it might
as well be done gracefully. By explicitly
following the subjoincd instructions, the
thing "can be did" according to Gunter :"
Let the lady advance one pace beyond the
door of the pew she wishes to enter, and
half about face and salute. The pew must
then be vacated by such gentlemen as are
in it by flank movement. The squad sho' d
rise simultaneously when the lady presents
herself, and face by the right flank, then
deploy into the aisle, the head man facing
the lady, and the rest walking to his right
and rear, the direction Of his halt being
changed by right countermarch, and
forming again into line up and down the
aisle, still faced by the right flank. The
lady, when the coast is clear, completes
her salute and advances to her position in
the pew. Il The gentlemen break off by
files to the rear, and resume their places.
Great care should be taken, Of course, by
other parties, not to enter the aisle when
this evolution is in progress until it is com.

The Chicago Daily Journal of Saturday
last, has the following:

AaStS udc tuC AViIONluS
Tomorrow afternoon will occur an event
interesting to the entire community of Chi
cago, and most profoundly SO to the Cath
Ole portion thereof. constituting, as it will,
the initial movement of new era in the
history of their church. The many thou
sand Catholics of this city will then wit
ness for the first time in the United States
the solemn conservation of the statues of
the patrons of the church, and their super
position upon the edifce. To the Jesuit
fathers will belong the honor of inaugur-
ating this new era in the history of the
Catholic Church in the United States, and
their church on the corner Of Twelfth and
May streets, will be the scene of the i'm
pressiye ceremonies, the interest of which
will be furth enhanced by the celebra-
ton also, for the first time in the United
States, of solemn Pontifical Vespcrs. 1t is
peculiarly appropriate that the ceremonies
OF this solemn occasion should be conduct
ed by the Right Rev. Maurice de St. Pa
lais, Bishop of Vincennes, a name famil-
liar as household words to the ears of old
settlers as that of the first parish priest of
Chicago, under whose care, thirty years
ago, the germs were planted and nourish-
ed which have developed an abundant har-
vest.
After the ceremonial a. sermon will be
preached by the Rev. Father O'Connor,
late Bishop of Pittsburgh.
The statues, which are about nine feet in
height, are beautiful specimen, Of wood
carving, and like the other decorations of q
similar character in the church, are the
work of II Chicago artist. Tickets Of add
mission can be procured at the Briggs
House at twenty-five cents each. The pro-
ceeds Of The sale Of seats will be devoted
to the painting and decoration of the
church, now but partially completed.

A REMARKABLE TRIo.-The Boston Jour-
nal chronicles the following interesting
fact in the history Of three prominent
Englishmen:
''Some forty years ago, at a dinner par
ty given in this city by the late Harrison
G. Cts, three young English gentlemen,
then making tour Of this country, were
present. They had completed their stud
les, and before entering upon public du-
ties they took trip to the United States
to study the institutions and habits of q
new people, who had at that time scarcely
given promise Of the greatness they were
to reach within less than half century,
"The three gentlemen were nearly Of
the same age, and neither their host
or themselves probably entertained an idea
of the very prominent position each of the
three was ultimately destined to attain.
1t is a little remarkable that the gentlemen
are still living. This trio was composed
Of the Hon. Mr. Stanley 1.-THE present earl
Derby,) Heney Labouchere, an ex-minis-
ter Of state, and John Evelyn Denison,
who occupied seat in parliment for over
thirty years, and in 1851 was chosen spea-
ker Of the house of commons. England

by the retention in public Office of men of

GUS communication describing, in Firt
rounds, disgraceful brawl which took
place in that village on Sunday morning
last. A fight began between NJ. Kerana
and P. Jourdan, of the Dubuque House,
at the house of the latter. Jourdan was
175 pounds weight and Kerans only l2O.
The result was victory for the small
man. We do not know the parties, and if
we did, we would be less likely to assist in
ridiculing them. Two or three old women
are mixed up in the fight, and any amount
of by-standers who should have promptly
separated the combatants. Jourdan had
one of his fingers bitten squarely off by
his opponent. DR.. Lewis, who dressed the
wounded stump, says that knife could
scarcely have done it better.

must remember that any personal state
ments purporting to be facts, should bear
the real signature of the writer. The
