Of all bad habits, narrow mindedness is
the toughest to break, whether in indiyi-
duals or in people. In England there
are cherished follies perfectly amazing to
American common sense. which are only
to be surrendered through long, slow pro-
cesses of legislation. -. .-,.,. a..
1t has long been felt to be grievance
that Dissenters could not inter the dead in
their own parish burial ground, without
submitting to the use of a service to which
they take exception, and to that service
being conducted by a clergyman of the
State Church, while the minister Of their
own communion was compelled to stand
silent by. Unbaptzed children as well as
adults are refused decent burial, even when
minist. RS of other churches are quite wills
ing to oficiate and crafty the feelings of
mourning friends. -al eg ~
In regard to marriage and church rates
the old laws have been modified i'm favor
Of Dissenters, and now with great delibe-
ration, the British Parliament is contem-
plating change which will allow man
to have a decent burial even if he and his
friends do not belong to the established
church. The world indeed moves, but this
respectable body of Legislators can only
recognize the fact by tagging along behind.
As specimen Of the enormous difficult
ties which stand in the path of equity
limbed legislation, we notice the following
All that the Dissenters ask is that they
may have the liberty Of bringing their
own ministers to the grave side, and the
bill before Parliament provides that sit
shall be lawful for the minister OF. priest
Of the religious denomination to which the
deceased belonged, to attend such burial"
But it is objected that 'some sects repu-
date all distinctions of laity and clergy,
others avail themselves of female ministra-
ton, and there are many more which enjoy
the services of irregular preachers, who
are one day traders and politicians, the
next occupants. of the pulpit in the chapel
hard by That, among the Dissenters of
England, any such irregularity prevails to
such an extent as to block the possibilities
of fair legislation on the subject, is not
true, and the objections prove only how
reluctant many are to give men their
rights. "i" 's

THE EcuMEN1cAL CouNciL.-It is re-
ported in England that considerable
number of Anglican clergyman have de-
termined to attend the approaching Gem
eral Council at Rome in order to ''lay
their difficulties before the assembled pre-
lates o! the Universal Church." Their
Earnest DESIRE" it seems, is to he united
to Rome, but their chief difficulty is that
they have perfect faith in the validity of
their orders, ard believe that it would be
sacrilege either to submit to re.ordination
or to revert to. the position of laymen. A
special committee has been appointed at
Rome to deal with the subject of Ang lican
orders. The result will probably be the
secession of a large number Of the English
clergy to the Roman Church, accompanied
Ey many of the laity. 49,

I The President was inclined to have an
order promulgated giving the men en-
ploycd by the United States, ten hours
pay for eight hours work. Somebody,
however, dug up for Borie, who was the.
most directly concerned, the Information
that when Congress passed the eight hour
law, it failed to remember and repe ] a
prior law, which prohibited the payment
by the United States Of greater wages than
was paid by private parties for the same
work. 1t is evident that Congress did not
know what it was about, or that the eli .ht
hour law was merely an electioneering
dodge. Congress was either ignorant or
dishonest; upon a careful scrutiny Of its
doings for the last four years we are in
clined to vote it both. And SO explodes
the eight hour law, and the Wilson letter.
Congress has not shown any disposition to
save money, and it has shown an inordin-
ate desire for popularity. fhe only thing
which is surprising in this matter Is. that
it did not enact that workmen should have
double pay for half work-proyided they
were Republicans.

investigation that he was going to ask for.

inquiring FOR. Allison, as will be seen in
the following extract: msTa

The late suit in New York, in which Chas.
A. Lambard recovered nearly quarter
million dollars as his share of the specula-
ton, as stakeholder, reminds us that Mr..
Allison was also one Of the favored few ;
that he said he Would ask an investigation
by congress into Thomas charges; ard
that the whole matter has since been in a
sound sleep. Since the developments in
the Lambard case, the public would like
to know whether a member OF congress
was party in that enterprise by which
the government was. cheated out Of large
amount of money. The chief engineer, it
will be recollected, confessed, on the trial,
that the road was not constructed as the
law required to entitle it to the govern
ment bonds, notwithstanding the subsidy
had been received. How about that inves-

compact, simple, yet not over-clean or
understanding quarters-into their restau-
rants and their theatre, if it is in opera
ton, and into their "Josh Houses" Their

specialities of Chinese manufacture, at
reasonable prices. A few are men of

they almost monopolize the clothes wash
