Garibaldi in Italy and Rome,

The foreign news 1t present is high
ly important and deeply interesting
to mankind in every part of the
world. The movements of Garibal-
di involve the gravest spprehensions
as TO the Pope of Rome; and it must
ne seen that the people of Italy and
the Roman city are quite indifferent
to the fate ofthe Pope, if they do not
enlist in the ranks of his enemies
Hitherto, il has been held that God
was constantly moved for the PRO-
lection and s>foty of the Holy Cath
Ollie Church, the Pope and city of
Rome. But hardly nybody thinks
the like this day of telcgraphs and
railroads and popular intelligence
when all institutions must stand
alone upon their merits or fall for
their dement's. Italy has been dom,
ineered over and held in ignorance
below all other parts of Europe ever
since the dark ages of glory to the
church of Rome. Since that period,
France, Germany, England and ali
other parts-save Spain and Portu>
gal, have risen above the church and
assumed some degree Of freedom and
intelligence. Italy alone and especial
ly Rome have been held down to the
very verge of nonentity in morals and
knowledge-tor the old false reason
that Ignorance is the mother of do
votion." 1t is held in the more en-
lightened spheres of Europe that the
Catholic world would be- better eff
and the Roman church be more use
full and be brought to certain reforms
were the church forced to let 20 her
temporal power in all parts of the
world where the Pope claims tho rule
of the state. This is what Garibaldi
assumes; and it is believed that every
enlightened Government in Europe,
Catholic az we'll AZ Protestant, will
very soon adopt this sentiment of re-
ligious liberty. France may tempo>
rarily intervene at present q sudden
change, and may look to negotiation
to effect the same result that Gari>
baldi de~igns by war. But Rome will
soon be free.

The CosT AND PRoFIT.-England

The CosT AND PRoFIT.-England,
in the agitation of Reform, seems to
be scrutinixing certain establishments
with an eye that marks keenly the
column of expenses. Upon this col,
umn the entire building may depend,
and if the guardians ofthe structure
do not like the columns, those within
may have to stand from under.
Twenty-seven bishops of England
AID Wales have among them an an
nual income of 9152, 200. According
to Ruskin, who makes this and other
statements in regard to the expense
of the Episcopate, "the maintenance
of twenty-seven bishops exhausts the
annual value more than fifteen hum
dred curacies, of moro than FIVE hum
dred tolerable benefices; the cost, in
other words, of the personal pastoral
oversight of three million souls
The Primate Of England appropriates
ne.tcnth part of the whole income
of the Episcopate."

the son of one of the wealthiest mon
on the continent. whose name is per-
fectly we'll known to every body, has
followed for years the practice of
borrowing money from every body
and anybody whom he could per-
suade to lend it. The list of his cred.

and the sums they have loaned him
range from 81, which is the smallest,
up to 1905, which is the largest,
and which stands against tho name

man who has had anything to do
with business matters for the last ten
years has been all the time fam liar

Sailing BUTTER - The Irish Farm.
er's Gazette, Du bin, says:
at is penny wise aud pound fool
ish consideration which induces farm
ers to incorporate excessive amounts
of salt with their butter. This prac-
tice increases the weight ofthe butt
ter, but the gain is more than neu>
turalized by the deterioration of the
article which ensues." Where butter
is designed for immediate consump-
ton, it does not require more than q
quarter of an ounce to the pound, but
if intended for shipment or keeping,
double this amount will be right
The salt should be pure and of tho
best quality of rock. Its use is es-
sential in consequence of the pres>
ence of easein or curd, which is diff
cult to separate wholly from the but
tea, and whose tendency is to rancid,
ity unless counteracted by salt or its
equivalent.

TEACHERS AND ScHooLs.-There
are less than 200 schools in Grant
County, yet double that number of
teachers holding certificates and
most of them wanting schools. Ev-
cry day we are asked, "where can
teacher be had p There is much
complaint also about the salaries of
teachers, many affirming that the
wages rate too dearly. There APP
pears to be forgetfullness of the de-
mand there is in other business than
teaching for every male person, and
female too. Any we'll qualified
teacher can make as big wages at
something else, at agencies, serving
at the professions, &c. The less en-
ergetic and indifferently qualified
teachers are apt to continue as teach>
ers-very often dishonoring the pro.
fession, whilst the we'll qualified and
busy portion engage in enterprises
which pay them even better than
first class teachers are paid.
AS to the matter of finding quail
ted teachers-there being SO many
il The market, we can think of no
say but advertising, which would
provide a clearance between employ
err aud employees. At cost of one
dollar for advertising, any district
may have an offer of two to six quail
fled teachers. and Of course at COM
peting wages. The idea that but
teachers enough are allowed certifi>
Gates to fill schools, in view of mo-
nopoly and dear wages, is of course,
all u humbug. Thcre are under
two hundred schools in Grant county,
and about $50 teachers holding GER
dictates Thus says the official rec>
ords. The same outcry might be
raised about farm help, mechanics,
&c. The help is even more scarce
i'll every industrial business than in
teaching; and, as stated above,
clerks, agents and foremen busin ess
men, get better wages than teachers.

plate is single dish not OF silver gilt,

both domestic and foreign, which
that sovereign wore, or was entitled
to wear; it is. estimated at $4,000

it in deed is old or curious, most OF
plate used by former sovereigns hav-

sequently, is tawdry and rocco, as
might naturally be expected from
the author of the Pavilion at Brigh~

above rather sweeping statement
must be made in favor of the plate
which belonged to Frederick, Prince

BURNs.-In regard to the treat
ment of burns there is great divers.
ity Of opinion, scercely any two sur
geons agreeing as to the remedies.-
All of them are doubtless valuable,
but there is one which has q great
reputation, carron oil, limewater, and
linseed oil. The great objection to it
is its offensive odor, rendering an en- !,
tire ward disagreeable. When the
burn is ~ superficial, simply in
flaming or v eating the part ,cov-
eirng it up wit. -four, and then plac>
ing layer of Gotten over it 80 as to
exclude the air, makes a very COM
Portable dressing. Another method
consists in applying cold water, and
another warm water covered with
oiled silk and bandage. Lard, de-
prived of salt, and simple serate make
pleasant applications. The profess
sion is indebted to Prof Gross for the
introduction of white lead and linseed
oil in the treatment OF burns 1t is
one of the very best applications
which can be used, effectually ex-
GLIDING the air, and being always
grateful to the patient. In all cases,
no matter whether the skin or the
deeper structures are inv olved, white
lead rubbed ur with linseed oil to
the consistency of paste or paint, and
placed on with.a brush, will be found
productive of great relief There
does not appear to be any risk from
the constitutional influence Of the
lead, though it has been suggested,
to countsract any tendency of this
kind, that the patient should take
occasionally little.sulphate of mag.

DEATH OF AN OLD CONSERVATIVE
A ratttlesnake with forty-two rattles
was killed at Winnebago, Iowa, last
week.
What host of "reminiscences must
have fitted around the death bed of
the squirming old rascal. He had
heard the kissing Of South Carolina
in the days of notification, and re-
membered wildly the rattle of his
Mississippi brethren as they crawled
from their den of reputation. He
had listened to the snap and crack of
the cruel lash in many an Internal
slave pen. The $4,000 Republican
majority which Iowa gave few days
ago was too much for Crotolus HON.
idus, so he died, hateful and hideous
to the last, all rattle and venom, like
the rebel editors of the South
Nashville Press and Times
