A Church made out of Rags

There is church actually existing
near Bergen, Prussia, which can con,
tain nearly one thousand persons
1t is circular within octagonal with.
ont. The relieves outside, and the
statues within, the roof, the ceiling,
the Corinthian capitals, are all Of
papiermache, rendered waterproof
by saturation in vitriol, lime water,
whey, and white of egg. We have
not yet reached this audacity in our
use of paper; but it should hardly
surprise us, inasmuch as We employ
the same material in private houses,
in steamboats,, and in some public
buildings, instead of carved decora.
tions and plaster cornices. When
Frederic III. of Prussia set up limi-
ted papiermache mandatory at Ber-
lin, in 1865, he little thought that pa
per cathedrals might, within CEN
tury, spring out Of his snuffboxes, by
a slight ofhand Of art. At present
we old fashionabled English, who
haunt cathedrals and build churches,
like stone better But there is no
saying what we may come to- 1t is
not very long since it would have
been as impossible to cover eighteen
acres with glass as to erect . pagoda
with soap bubbles, yet the thing was
done. When we think Of a psalm
sung by 1000 voices pealing through
the edifce made OF rags, and the uni
versal element bound down to carry
our messages with the speed of light,
it would be presumptuous TO say what
cannot be achieved by science and art
under the training Of steady old Time.

Pure Democracy.

At the recent Democratic State
Convention in Minnesota. a resolution
was introduced declaring that the
Democratic party was opposed to the
establishment of slavery. One Bish
op Whitloek, the presiding officer of
the Convention. opposed the resolu-
ton vigorously. He declared among
equallyorthodox statementsthat
he was opposed to the resolve '.be-
cause he was in favor Of getting back
to the irrevocablc decree Of the Al
mighty who had established ard or
dained slavery. 1t was the only true
policy, and one which the Democracy
should unhesitatingly endorse" Like
the Iowa Comprehend pow WOW, this
Minnesota affair had not sunk so low
rs to soil its garments by endorsing
the acts ofthe White House usurper,
voting resolution down to that eff

Tom Ewing.

Some fellow has unearthed the fact
that Gen. Harrison died one month
after taking Tom Ewing into his
Cabinet, and General Taylor sues
cumbed after only six months endu-
rance of his presence in his Coun.
ellis.
The old Salt Boilers name is now
before the Senate for confirmatioa as
Secretary Of War in A. Us Cabinet.
We apprehend that a knowledge of
these facts will be the strongest, reas.
onwhythe Senate should confirm his
nomination. The hope that one month
or any number of months of Ewing
i'll the cabinet would suffice to fetch
his accidency, is worthy of the en-
pertinent.

New Hampshire.

The first gun of the great Presi-
dental fight is discharged in the old
Granite State today Tuesday. y
The Republicans have carried this
State by small majorities every year
since 1856, except in 1859, when the
Cops had 2.4511 majority, and in SO
when they ran ahead 3,7aS.
The ablest public speakers on both
sides have thoroughly canvassed
the State, from Dan to Bersheba, and
from the opening Of the campaign it
has been regarded by the immediate
contestants, and the nation at large as
but the preliminary fire on the skirm.
ish line, the prelude to the coming
terrific political combat, that is to
convulse the entire country. until the
ides of November.
Last year Hartman beat Sinclair

since '56 has been only $3.50.
Every ward, township, and county
has been carefully canvassed, show
