Catholicity and Protestantism, in Respect to
the Laws Of Divorce.

Carroll Hall was filed last night with a
highly intelligent and appreciative audience,
for the purpose of listening to lecture by
Gen. John Tyler, Jr., ON the above subject.
The lecture was replete with rare and valu-
able historical information. drawn from in.
spiration; from ancient Greece and Rome /;
from the sublime history Of the Catholic
Church: from the histories of France, Ger
many /, and England, and from the rich sour.
ces of our own Republic The decay Of ma
lions was traced and illustrated in the decay
of virtue, public and private, ever following
closely lax ideas on the subject of divorce
So long as marriage is regarded as q sac
rament and not as civil contract, nations
prosper. In our own country Mr.. Tyler saw
IN socialism, agrarianism, communism, four
rierism, spiritualism, and last, but not least,
radiealism, signs Of deeeneraey which would
soon extinguish all regard for morality, re-
ligion and virtue. Mr.. Tyler's lecture was
written in style of great force, and many
passages were wonderful in power and clio
quence. He was frequently and heartily
applauded. He uttered some truths with
startling effect, and it was our only wish that
the entire country could have heard him.

New Jersey, pursuing the example of
Ohio. has recinded her resolution to ratify
the proposed amendment, known as the
fourteenth article" of the federal constitu-
ton.
While New Jersey and Ohio, in the free
exercise of their power and right as equal
states in the Union, have thus emphstically
repudiated the proposed amendment, con
gress is legislating to require the ratification
of that amendment by the southern states as
further condition Of their recognition as
states in the Union. Such requirement
appears in the bill, introduced in the senate
by Mr.. Wilson, to reorganize the Ethiopian
rump in Alabama Upon the theory that
congress may do this. congress may also de-
clare that Ohio and New Jersey have seced-
ed from the Union, and, therefore, shall be
excluded from representation in congress-

of congress to do one thing is as great as the

German Amusamants.

The Germans are an element in Quincy
that has done much to build up her vast in
terests and make her the thriving, growing,
active, busting city that she now is. Nor
is this all; they are still working with that
proverbial industry, that steady purpose and
that stolid strength SO peculiar to them, to fur
Their advance our city's interests and i'm
portance. While thus engaged in business
and works of industry, they have a high
appreciation OF the arts and are first and
foremost IN their encouragement and susten.
ance. They are devotedly musical people
and inherit a rare and genuine appreciation
of music, in whatever form it is developed.
We say they have inherited a rare apprecia-
ton for music; for this is evidenced BY the
fact that from childhood they manifest on
intense delight in anything possessing the
nobody or harmony OF music. Music form-
ed the most prominent feature in their holi
days and recreations in the "Vaterland,"
and the few thousand miles that they have
removed from the scenes of their nativity
only serve to impress more indeliby on their
hearts the habits and customs prevalent
there. Music, tits said, win tame the savage
heart, and there is great philosophy in the
proverb. BY this we mean to convey no
| idea that the Germans are asavage people
the contrary is true--but wish merely to al
Jude to the harmony and geniality that per-
vades their festivals and assemblages.-
There has been much said for and apain.t
the Sunday law, but we say, to the stubborn
opponents Of Sunday recreation, had they
been present on Sunday last at the concert
given by Rosenbush's Band, at the Prairie
Garden, and had they stood by and looked
on as did we, and observed the quiet, order.
iy and peaceful enjoyment of the hundreds
congregated there, they would find food for
sober, serious reflection. They might not
have been convinced that their opposition
was wrong, but they would have doubted
seriously whether our German friends. sitting
around their tables with family or friends,
ana slipping their fsvorite Lager with pro.
found delight, were wrong. They would
perhaps have thought that q social gathering
and friendly talk, enlivened by sweet
strains, would not discord with the sublime
feelings of religion. Be the feelings of 9th.
ers what they may, we cannot but admire
the harmony, the quiet, the geniality and
the universal desire manifest among the
Germans at their festivals and gatherings to
administer to the happiness and enjoyment
of all. We admire, also, the apt taste for
music evinced by young and old, and the
enthusiasm with which they drink in the
| melody OF "song or harp" and never tire d
being spectator upon their innocent and
| rational Quincy Herald.
