of the representatives ofthose people
in GLASGOW who sympathize with his
views and objects. In his letters to
the chairman of the Orange Associ~

ing of the Pope he says: "You will
be told that his rule is mild, that tho
people are contented, and that it has
ever been so. Now, if this be true,
how is it that they who claim to be
the representatives of Christ upon

ton sixteen times, German interven-

THE PRAIRIE DU CHEN RAILWAY
1t is announced by the Milwaukee
and St Paul Railway directory that
the Milwaukee and Prairie du CHEN
Railway passed into their hands on
Tuesday last, and will hereafter be
known as the Milwaukee and ST.
Paul Railway, Prairie du Chen Di-
vision. So far as the relations of the
road to the public is concerned there
is practically no change now made,
as the two roads have been under
the same management for some COM
siderable time. The difference is in
the more perfect consolidation of the
two great routes by the formal trans
fer of the Prairie du CHEN road to
the immence ST. Paul corporation,
which can now properly claim to be
not only one of the greatest, but one
of the best organized railway corpo-
rations in the world.-Mil,oaukee

con "We see that the very rudest
scholars are competent to mathemat.
ical learning, although unable to at :
tain unto any knowledge of the other
sciences" And Sir William remarks
that Hipponicus, mathematical ge>
MUS, and general blockhead, ofwhom
his pupil, the philosopher Arcesilaus
used to say, "that his science must
have, flown into his mouth while
yawning," is the representative of a
numerous class of mathematicians.-
We have the testimony of so many
great minds, many of them the first
mathematicians in the world, in IA
vor of the study of languages as
higher mean unto the more whole
some cultivation of the mind, than is
the science of quantity, that pro-
pose to give this testimony in a fol-
lowing article, that the study of the
classics may receive the respect and
attention due unto It's higher utility
from the fully persuaded many
throughout the county.

the nation is passiDgg throug fearful
transition. A generation OF preiu-
dice, wrongs and temporizine COM
promises that never settled anything
beyond political cowardice, culmina,
ted seven years since treason and re-
bellion; followed by all the brood OF
demoraiizing and corrupting infiuen-
cos that war must Away s'generate.-
The filthy, disgusting and destruo
tive harpies that alighted about the
feast OF Yirgil's heroes find new
REPETITION in the depravities evoked
by four years ofwar. All the interest
Of social and civil life must be dis
turbed and contaminated by the
atorcious Influences, until time elapses
sufficient for the cure and renovation
Of society from such wide spread ev-
lis, rs years of conflict in battle
fields always bring. War is at the
best, brutalizing, and familiarity with
the necessary and frequent violation
OF ordinary customs and laws,
breeds an easy conscience in break
laws in general.

AID FOR THE SoUTH-The Wash
ington Chronicle sugges.s, that good
way, ifnot the best way, to give re-
lief to the people Of the South, would
be for the Federal Government to
loan money to the States lalong the
Mississippi, to be expended in repair
ing the Levees along that river, and
thereby afford relief, without the
humiliation of mendicity. 1t thinks
that, to deal out food, without setting
those who eat it to work to produce
something for themselves, will secure
no benefit beyond that of relieving
present distress. This will do for
Congress to think of.

A New REVENUE PLAN.-The
Philadelphia Inquirer has new plan
that will bear examination if not
adoption. 1t would abolish all taxes
on manufactured articles except
those on tobacco and whisky, and
these it would collect, 1t would COLI
lect a certain per cent. on sales Of
merchandise. 1t thinks this plan
would be more simple, more manage
able, and better in every way than
the present. If tho whisky tax
could be collected, it of itself, would
be more than sufficient to pay the in>
terest on the national dobt; but the
tobacco had better be thrown in to
make up the deficiency arising from
frauds, which even then might exist.
