AN EDEN IN CALIFORNIA--Iti is the
vineyard and orange and lemon or
chards that make Los Angeles the
garden spot of California. Just i'm.
agine q collection of gardens, six

Mr. CovER.--Please call the atten-
ton of Anxious and Anglicus to the
following taken from an English pa
per:
A Catholic writer thus candidlv
says: my church is ever consis-
tent, even in the wrong. 1t changes
wrong into right at its convenience,
but never denies having done So
Rather it claims the right upon earth
to change fasts and ordinances it
has changed the Sabbath from Satur-
day to Sunday, and has not only
changed the mode of baptism but the
subject. Professionalism has but fol-
lowe the Catholics by adopting the
changes of the latter. But even
there the two are unlike: the Catholic
honestly acknowledges having made
these changes, bat the Protestant
falsely assumes apostolic uniformity
and holy warrant of scripture for
the present sabbath and also the mod
ern Catholic mode and subject OF
baptism. That these changes had
better not been made the Catholic
world now believes; that the Pro
testant world adheres to the altered
day of rest and to the Catholic au-
thorised mode and subject of sacred
ordinance is only characteristic OF
the sects. But that in our days OF
wide spread light and learning any
should claim these errors as taue bit
in the original text is SURPRISING
strange if not proof of Calvinist;c de-
pravity Better the Protestant as
well as the Catholic should at once
concede the right and even the duty
of Christ's followers to adopt last
days and ordinances TO times and
customs, even TO chimes and preju.
dices. But it surely cannot be right
to falsify any record, especially one
of divine authority"

HJeff. Davis, trial is announced

foresaw these delays intended for the

gets up war to carry the over

The policy toward JEFF Davis has
been anything but honorable to the
country. No doubt Johnson has re-
ceived the price of Davis liberty.

In ERRoR.-The Herald this week
says that when the County Board
meet in June for correcting their as~
sessment for the insuing year, hear
ing complaints of towns, &c, they
will have the new assessment to act
from, which is eviden tly an error, as
the Town Boards of Review do not
meet until the fourth Monday in June,
and of course assment rolls cannot be
sent up before they are reviewed by
town Boards. This last paragraph
Of the HeraId'S otherwise good arti-
Gle on the assessment law, is rather
mixed, anyhow. Some people have
construed it to say that no assess
ment will be made till the new as,
sessment rolls are in, which, of
course, is an error, as will appear

that an automatic steam man had
been invented. and W as on exhibition,
designed as substitute for the horse
as motive power to draw wagons
and carriages on a common road.
This we believe was an American
sget up" 1t is now stated that bar
rister of Paddington, England, has
produced o "Steam Bird" with wings
Tapped by the action ofsteam. The
anatomy and physiological action of
this "fying steam engine" is thus dee
scribed
He reduces the ratio of the weight
of the engine to its power by using a
tubular boiler, with very small and
thin tubes. He will use liquid fuel,
and carry very little water, condens,
ing the steam by a very light con-
denser, made like the tail of q bird, to
sustain the bird and steady its flight.
The arms of the wings are connected
with the piston rod of the engine, SO
that the apparatus is raised by the
strokes of the wings alone, without
light gas heated air, or other contri-
vance to give it buoyancy. To this
engine he attaches seats for one or
more passengers.
