The States in the Hands of the Romish
Priesthood. a

Priesthood. @
From the Cincinnati Volksblatt July T.
AS the Governors term of office lasts
two years, and as he has the appoint
ment o one new director query year in
each of our various State Institutions, he
has it in his power to engineer major
ity of directors into every public institu-
ton. the subordinate officers of these
institutions are appointed by those
higher ones whom the Governor ap-
points, and their appointment depends
upon the pleasure of the majority in the
Board of Directors. Whatever political
or religious coloring characterizes the
majority of Directors who happen to
be in Office, will naturally be reflected i'm
the lower officials. In case General
Rosecrans should be elected Governor,
We may, in view of his well-knOwn
social and religious connections, predict,
with certainty, what influences will
regulate his appointments. He could
not, and would not, dare to withdraw
himself from those influences. Let the
electors of Ohio, at the next election for
Governor, bear in mind the fact that if
Rosecrans was elected all the public insti-
tattions of the State soiH be brought under
Catholic influence, and indirectly played
into the hands of the Cdtholic clergy.

The Law Of Csnjug.l Selection.

With regard to the proper combina-
tions of temperament in the marriage
relation, Psychologists have differed, one
coniending that the constitutions of the
parties should be similar, while others,
on the contrary, have taught that the
contrast should be sought. 1t seems to
us that neither of these statements ex-
press fully the true law of selection
The end to he aimed at is harmony
There can be no harmony without dif-
ference, but there may be difference
without harmony. 1t is not because a
woman is like man that he loves her,
but because she is unlike. The qualities
which he lacks are the ones in her which
attract him-the personal traits and
mental peculiarities which combine to
make her aoon'o'aiN; and in proportion
as'she lacks these, or possesses mascu-
line characteristics, will woman repel
the opposite sex. So woman admires
in man true nadnlincss, and is repelled
by weakness and effeminacy. A wo-
manish man awakens either the pity or
contempt of the fair sex.
The law, we believe, admits of the
widest application The dark-haired,
swarthy man is apt to take for his mate
some azure-eyed blonde the lean and
spare choose the stout and plump; the
tall and short Often unite; and hom ely
men generally win the fairest of the fair.
In temperament, as is everything
else, what we should seek is not likeness,
but a harmonious difference. The hus-
band and wife are not counterparts of
each other, but compliments, halves
which joined together form rounded
symmetrical whole In music, conti-
guous notes are discordant, but when
we sound together first, and third, or
a fourth or a fifth, we produce chord.
The same principal pervades all nature.
Two persons may be too much alike to
agree. They crowd each other, for two
objects cannot occupy the same space at
the same time. While, therefore, we do
not wholly agree with those who insist
upon the union of opposites in the mat
ter of temperaments, we believe close
resemblance in the constitution of the
body between the parties should be
avoided, as not only inimical to their
harmony and happiness, but detrimen-
tai to their offspring.-[Phren. Journal

G00d Name.
In the school of DIR. Woods, meme were
allowed to enter the conservatory with
out leave but boys handkerchief, with
his name upon it, had been found there.
Just at the close of school, the Doctor
called the name of James Howard. The
whole school became silent with sus-
pense.
James Howard, what has he done
such noble boy such good boy ~ all
thought, DIR. Woods himself believed he
must have been sent into the conserva-
tory by the teacher of botany; so he
asked;
James Howard, have you been into
the conservatory to-day?
II have notsir," replied James, in a
clear calm voice.
II believe you, James," said DIR.
Woods, although your handkerchief
has been found there. You are not the
boy to tell an untruth."
So James sat in his seat unmoved.-
Every boy in the school believed him,
and almost envied his good name.
DIR. Woods said no more on the subject,
except these words. "Let every boy
learn from this incident the worth of a
good name, especially when appearances
are against him."
How came James handkerchief in the
conservatory? For, as l have said, it
was contrary to the rules of the school
for boy to enter their unbidden. James
had lent it to boy, named John Rand,
to tie up some nuts the day before, when
they had little ramble together. The
boy forgot to return il. He alss forgot
the rule of the school against entering
the conservatory, hat, seeing the door
Il
flowers. The handkerchief being partly
out of his pocket, dropped upon the
ground.
See the evils of needless forgetfulness.
The boy had exposed a schoolmate to
censure and, had it not been for James
Howard's good maine his teacher would
surely have thought him TO be the Of
fender. At least, So thought John
Rand. lf
How ashamed he felt when DIR. Woods
said these words about a good name
The words kept ringing in his ears. He
had broken rule of the school, and was
afraid to own it. He thought the Doc
tor would despise him if he knew. and
30 would the boys. All the day, all
that night, he had no peace. At length
he went to see James. He was not
afraid to tell him all about it.
81 did forget it James, truly honestly
1 did," said the child ;"but I'm afraid
the Doctor won't believe me, as he does
you."'a sb1 etitElsf - 5i'
'.Yes he will, replied James. "You
have been so short a time in school,
there's some excuse for you. Go at once,
and own up for the longer you put it
of the harder it will be. Always own .
fault at once. Don't be afraid the Doc
tor will forgive you." lr
Thus encouraged, the boy went to DR..
Woods, confessed his fault, and was for
given; but he learned lesson against
forgetfulness which he always remem-
bered. -. =, -ii,r-c a. F.t

The market becomes quieter every week. There
are very few buyers here from distant sections and
orders for light goods are far from numerous. In
the neighboTiDg shoe towns, especially in Lynn and
Beverly, where serge goods are largely made. some
manufacturers are still employing fair number OF
hands, but in the majority Of they have slack
ened considerably and very little improvement can
be expected for the next five six week, when the
demand for boots and fall goods will commence. For
home consumption there is o moderate inquiry Tor
hne goods, generally in small lots, and prices are
pretty firm Seasonable goods are still held at for
mer rates, but some concessions are made OCCASION
ally on those which out of date. The shipment S
by sea are unusually large, but the demand for
coarse goods from the South continues 10 diminish,
dealers from that section being evidently disposed to
clear out their Spring stocks before entering on the
tall trade Collections from the West come in slow
ly, but 1t affords great pleasure to state that
Southern dealers are making their payments quite
promptly, which is very encouraging feature Of the
trade with that section. The shipments of the past
week foot up to cases. against 1856 cases last
week, and against 1902 cases in the corresponding
week OF 1868. The shipments since Jan. 1st amount
to 3 cases against 1928 00u in the first twen-
ty weeks of 1S6S.--Shoe and Leather Reporter.
