:"
The Pau Nall Gazette has An artc e on
the American Episcopal Church which ends
thus:
"The clergy have contributed but little to lit
srsturs, and the church has but slight hold on the
iAboring Classes, its members being chiefly we'll
to- do people, and its places of worship well cush
Toned and csrpeted On the whole, il reminds one
Of plant which 1anguished in . hothousc, and
which, when rudely turned into the open air, man
aged TO survive the shock, and has even put forth
vigorous shoots, but which is not likely to rival
its moro hardy competitors. 1t has aeconmoda-
ted itself 10 its new conditions, but there IL little
prospect Of its overtaking sccts which were never
dependent on the N ether country on state aid,
but which retied from the first its own exer-
TONS"
There are several errors in this short state
ment. In the first place, the Episcopal cler.
Rymen in the United States have contributed
~ largely ~ those Of any other denomination
TO various departments Of literature; second
", the mission work Of trinity, St. George,
and other wealthy Episcopal congregations in
this city, as we'll as OF those in other parts of
the country, is conducted with energy and ef-
feet; thirdly, while the Episcopal churches
are often q we'll cushioned and carpeted,'
like those, Of the Presbyterians, Baptists.
Methodists, and all others who have money
With which TO buy carpets and cushions there
is vast number of little rural churches in
the Episcopal comm0nion that are guitless
of paint, carpet or cushon-just as there ia
IN nbsndance Of churches of other denomi-
nations where sincere worship is unaccompa-
nied by luxurious surroundings.
Enflishnen sKe 30 much in the habit oil
laundering when they write upon American
affairs that II would perhaps be unnecessary
to allude to these late specimens if the re-
aections Of the nsh Mall Gazette were no,

the ranks of your former enemies. Upon
this principle the Radicals acted and found

some hocus-pocus known to demagogues'
he eontriyed 10 shift his principles as he

a FIJI blown demon of war and violatol
Of his fearful imprecation. The ruins Of

lG@ Maximilian's death has caused cor
respondents to examine into the records
of his family. 1t appears from a Vienna
letter that many Of Maximilian's relatives
have suffered from sad blows Of fortune.
The Princess Charlotte, wife Of Leopold,
died in childbirth. His daughter married
the Duke of Orleans, who was Killed by o
fall from a cab. Their children were ex-
PEELED from the throne Of France. The
Princess Carlotta is crazed. Marie An

Memo RIGHTs AS VIEWED BY A UNION
sHRiEKRR. Flakes Galveston Bulletin, the
organ Ofthe radicals in Texas; in its issue
OF the 10th inst, makes the following
candid and pregnant statement with regard
tot the negro and his prerogatiyes:
"We may just as we'll state the truth at
once Whatever rights or privileges have
oeen bestowed on the freedman by the
North hayeibeen given Of necessity. 1t is
great mistake to suppose that there is any
opportunity of love for eolored men in the
oosoms Of the Northern people. There Is
an intense hatred of rebellion but no more
love for the negro than can be conveniently
enjoyed. The lines Of distinction between
!ne raccsIare deeper broader, and more
l,n Yl in Quaker Pennsylvania thar
mississippi orTexas, Itwould be strange
hsometime, in the far distant future, thu
seGo should be forced to appeal to tn
ooqth against Northern prejudice"

Obituary.

We hardly know whether pleasantly
or pathos prsdominates in this clever
.jieu desprt, from the Nashville Gazette: !
D1Ep.-In Washington City, District
of Columbia, on Monday, May Ii, 1867,
of paralysis, Columbia Liberty, after a
severe and protfacted Hines OF seven
tedious years.
The deceased was born in 1776 Of poor
but respectable couple Honesty and Pa
triotism. The first seven years OF her life
we're struggle with misery, even as were
the closing seven. But shegrew upa beau.
| tiful lass, and made her entree into society
in 1857, winning the admiration Of friends
and the iealously Of rivals. At an early
age she FORMED tender attachment for
Principle. A happy Union followed, and
| in the course ofevents numerous offspring
rose up to bless her. =.
The duties of maternity. however, did
not detract from her beauty, and as she
advanced in years she seemed to increase
| in loneliness. Devoting herself exclusively
to the care of her numerous family, and
sure Of tue eyer-enduring love other spouse,
the future lay before her bright as the
vision Of beatitude.
But alas human frailty! In an evil
hour, elderly matron though she was, she
listened to the honeyed words Of an
unprincipled young fellow named Rad
/ icalism, not yet out of his teens. She
resisted his advances for while, but in
u November, 1860, lost to all sense o
womanly dignity, she abandoned the partner
Of her youth, and took up with this young
) scape-grace. This famr pas created
lamentable disturbance in her previousl,
happy family. Eleven Of her most loving
children refused to live with their younl
i step.tather; and sought for themselve
|, other homes. For this piece OF contumac,
the wicked step-father disinhefited ten 0
them, and dragging the eleventh back to tn
old homestead, he inflicted on her untol
= barbarities and outrages. The poor oil
I mother, hearth + ken by the disgrace Of he
household, was struck with paralysis, an
e has been bedridden for several years. LII
physicians who attended her were chose
by her dnprincipled husband, and tn
public opinion is, that they were employe
to kill instead Of cure, as the old lady VIC
an obstacle to his ambitious designs 0
9 her property and that Of her cbildre'
n Last Monday, after unheard OF sutferiu
; and anguish, she breathed her last.

people themselves. Apart from this lead
ing object, the founding and the mainten-
ance Of schools will not come within his
plan.
2. Usually, appropriations in moderate
amounts will be- made where such schools
are languislling Of are liable to be suspend
ed, for want of the means of support
Similar aid, If necessary, will be given in
places unsupplied with schools, whenever
the citizens shall introduce them, and I'M
dertake their support. All such aid, how
ever, is to be regarded as temporary.
8. In selecting schools to be aided, or
places to be supplied with them, those will
be preferred in which the restitution is
greatest and the number to be benefited
largest. la }lE
4. Normal schools; or schools having
normal departments, win receive pafticu-
lar attention. A small number of these,
furnishing the most perfect models Of I'M
struction, will be considered as more inn
portant than o larger number of an infe-
rior character. Here, also, it isthepurpose
of the Agent to aid others in their work
and not to assume the support Of such
schools.
/ S. Funds will not be given to literary Or
professional schools, as such. Special at.
rangemcnts may sometimes be made with
these, for the purpose of encouraging the
industrial arts, or for the education Of
teachers.
/ 6. The agent will not identify his efforts
with those Of any other organization By
. placing funds at the disposal of its mana
gers, but, in any connection he may holt
:, with benevolent or religious societies, n
r will pursue his own specific object by sucl
means and appliances as he shall select.
L z. At present, there will be no agencies
: except few, in which the services ren
3 dered will be gratuitous. j.

special, exceptional cases, have occasion
