seA-At the recent election in Com
nceticut, Father Carmody, who has
charge of the largest Catholic con-
gregation in New Haven, opposed
with zeal the democratic ticket.
His action is thus explained:
"He has no interest in the defeat
of the democrats as a political party,
but he does care for the morals Of the
young men committed to his spirit
ual care. According to him, the
democratic politicians in his neigh
borhood at the latest election, in
duced many Of his parishioners not

by swearing they were of full age,
and, therefore entitled to vote. Such
conduct he felt bound, in his capaci
ty as Christian minister, to repro,
bate, and he accordingly did SO to the
extent of his ability.

nA-The first railroad in Greece
was eompleted and opened on the
18th Of March. 1t connects Athens
with the Pir@us. The whole city
turned out and celebrated the occa-
sion. An account of the affair says
the Athens terminus is within q
stones throw of the famous Temple
of Theseus, theimperishable columns
Of the latter, erected two thousand
two hundred years ago, singularly
contrasting with the station house of
wood little removed from it. There
is talk of railway communication to
Patmos, over the Isthmus of Corinth
and this would lead to connecting
lines along the western coast until
European travel is diverted from
present routes and Greece becomes
the direct route from Asia to China.

sW- Last Tuesday the wife of
late Major General of the United
States army called on President
Grant, and stated the facts of a claim
for considerable back pay which she
has long been pressing before Con-
gress, and disclosed to him such cir
cumstances of merit and restitution
as induced the President, whose
friend when he needed friends, the
General had been, at once to relieve
her present wants out Of his own
pocket, to promise her that she shall
be. made Postmistress at u Southern
military post, and to appoint her son
so a cadetship at West Point. At
the same time the President pro-
nounced her claim just one, would
see that Congress allowed it, and told
her that she should have come at
once to him instead of trying to get
it through Congress herself.

Total charge, 145.25
Time of going through, about week
This great work has been com>
menced and finished since the war
at immense cost, and without a dol
lar Of foreign capital. 1t opens the
way for paying our National debt
from our own gold and silver mines.
besides developing lands enough for
agricultural use to support fifty mil,
lions more people than we have got.
1t SO greatly enlarges the property
valuation Of the country as to sink
the National debt to insignificance.
What was a mountain has fallen to 3
hillock.
A quarter of century ago many
of us removed to the western limits
All west of the Mississippi river was
