Bish0p wheeIan al LeWIsburS, Green
bFier COuntS---COnsecrRti of a
& .thOIic Church.
From The GreeIbIier Independent, -Aug. lSt.
The Right Rev. Richard V. Whelan,
Bishop OF this diocese, on Wednesday
last, visited our town for the purpose of
consecratiug the Catholic Church, re-
Gently purchased and fitted up, in this
place. From the day of his arrival, the
week TO large and Intelligent audiences.
And on Sunday the services OF conse-
Grating or purifying the Church, took
place. The ceremony was grand and
Imposing. The Bishop, ornamented
with Mitre, and arrayed in his pontii-
cal robes, accompanied by Fathers
Stinger and Walters, marched, first
around the outside, and then the
inside of the Church, spriukling
the walls with Holy Water.
The novelty of the performance
was, perhaps, the inducement which
brought many to the church, yet no one
could behold the services without being
sensibly impressed with their magniti-
cence and grandeur. This, together
with the church liturgy. fine music
from the choir, and a lucid, argumenta-
tive and terse, but respectful sermon,
delivered by the Bishop, on the ritual
and doctrines of the Catholic Church,
concluded the exercises of the occasion.
The house was densely crowded on
Sunday, both during the day and at
night, at which time the Bishop again
preached, and Vespers were sung. We
presume that nearly every Catholic
within thirty miles was present, to hear
the Bishop, and witness the services of
conservation.
On Monday morning the Bishop left
for Wheeling, his home. He will be
kindly remembered by our people.

A Few Moments Conversation with

Hudson River Steamer.
Neir York Correspondence Louisville Democrat
Secretary Seward passed through the
city evening on his way to Auburn.
He looked tagged out. a number OF
friends went down to the Auburn
steamer to see him of. One of them
said:
well; @ a Mr.; Secretary, how do things
tSewdrd-"Well, my friend, when !
left there last night, the sky looked
calm and beautiful; the birds were sing
ing in the trees at Bladensburg, and the
waters of the Potomac ran along as
smoothly as they do here in your own
lovely Hudson"
Friend-"Ah, yes, but the political
situation?"
Se,oard-"Politics, sir, have not trou
bled me much of late. L am either get
ting tired of them or they are growing
weary of me. am not half as well
posted as to what you call the situation
as you New York editors. Read the
World, the Times, the Tribune, and the
Express, and you will know all about
it," -- - 1900.
another Briend-"How is President

Something was said about the next
Presidential election, with occasional
regrets that Mr.. Stewards prospects for
the succession were not IS bright az
the ought to be. E5HtA
4SeIUurd-"Reserve your regrets, gem
tlemeu, reserve your regrets. All
things are working together for good.
The Presidency is not bed of roses.
In all human probability my term of
life will not run many years into the
future. Time with me was never SO
precious as it is at present, and instead
OF lamenting that higher honors are
not within my grasp, than those have
already enjoyed at the hands of my
countrymen, l feel that / ought to
thank God that things are as they are"
These words were uttered in a tone
savOriuR Of sadness, but the sbrill cry
OF all ashore that's going, iutermingled
with the noise of the pilots bell, and
the roar of steam, put an end to further
reflections, and Obliged the Secretary
aud his friends to snake hands and bid
each other adieu.

NOTHING could more completely
affirm the wisdom of Congress in not
permitting the Southern States TO pass
again into control of the tricky and
selfish politicians who managed public
affairs there before the war, than the
fact that the politicians of the South,
almost to a man, are unreconstructed.
Eminent soldiers OF the Confederate
army like Longstreet, Forrest. Buck
ner and JEFF. Thompson, accept the sit
uation resulting from the defeat of the
rebellion, and now and then an old
whig OF prominence in civil life does
the same, but the old Democratic poll
Iician who were in power, Toombs, a.

Perry, Hersohel v. Johnson. john C.
Breckenridge and all that class, advise
against accepting the plan OF restora-
tiOn proposed By Congress. Ii it re-
stored them to place and power they
would advise its acceptance at once.

A YOUNG gentleman in Chicago, crea-
ted an excitement in that lively city by
dragging a woman out of a house ofill-
fame, by the hair of her head, beating
the head all the while against the pave
ment. He explained this odd treat
ment, by stating that she was relative
of his, and that it was his duty to keep
her out of such places. Thinking that
his plan was altogether too radical
one, the bystanders iuterfered. The wo-
man barely escaped with her life.

RATES OF ADVERTISING.

THE New York World informs the
public who are interested in that city in
the econstruction Oflarge buildings upon
what is called the Partisan plan, that
the subject has already received the
consideration of property owners, in
one or more instances that plans have
been prepared and completed in detail /;
that they would have been carried into
execution but for the inordinate price
of labor and building materials. The
editor says:
"Tbese buildings would cover several
lots of ground, be of fine architectural
appearance, and yet OF the quiet style,
betitting an elegant private dwelling,
and occupy locations of the best char
acter, contiguous to and below the Cen
tral Park. a.- --s
"They would supply each family
with a complete suite ofrooms (say from
five to ten in number) upon one floor,
entire separate from each other, and
opening by a front door upon Il spacious
fire-prOof stair case. The lower floor
would be occupied by a restaurant, and
for the public rooms used in hotel.
Each family would have all the seclu-
sion and independence now enjoyed by
being sole occupants of a house, and
have all the advantages of hotel life.
They would be able, at their option, to
relieve themselves from the care of n
kitchen, aud take their meals in the
restaurant, or have them served in their
own rooms.
There can be little doubt that this
plan will be acceptable in this city, par
iiculariy If It be introduced on a large
scale and in such style as to attract the
families who seek 10 live elegantly and
free from ordinary housekeeping bur
dens; and, once approved, the buildings
can be varied in construction so as to
suit the wants OF all classes"

road at the summit of the Sierra Neva-

Only sixty-four feet remained uncut on
Saturday. The rails are being laid on

of the track is graded. 1t is expected
that cars will pass through the tunnel
by the 18th of August, and that the road
will be completed to the Nevada line in
September next. The rapid progress
making at both ends of the Pacific
Railroad indicates that 1t will not be
long before passengers can be carried

Garibaldi, it is reported from Europe,
has come to the conclusion that, con-
sidering all circumstances, 1t is best to
abandon, for the present, his contem-
plated movement against Rome. The
volunteers which had begun TO collect
from all parts OF Italy, and which had
already invaded the Papal territory at
several places, will therefore disperse.
The dispatch adds that the movement is
only delayed, not abandoned, and the
preparations for another great move
ment will be pursued with great actIvi-
ty, and Garibaldi himself expressed
his firm belief in the success of the
next undertaking.
