Church and State.

Almost everywhere but in the
United States, q struggle is waging
between Church and State. The
South American Republics are debate
ing tardy divorce of the uncongeni-
al couple, and making religious toler-
ance more and more the order Of the
day. Cuba has broken with her
priests by countenancing civil mar
rage, after fashion of Mexico The
Danubian Principalities are troubled
with a question of the Bulgarian
Church ; Poland with teud between
Catholics and Russo Greek church
men Russia with the consequences
Of abolishing hereditary priesthood ;
Austria with UltramOntanism ex>
tremes Italy with clerical antipa-
thies growing out of cOntiscations of
church property, and the ever cher
ished idea Of possessing Rome Spai n
with her Carlist priests in practical
revolt against the constitutional de-
cree of tolerance, and the new mo-
ton to dispossess religious corpora
tions. The fate of Irish Church oil
England, curiously so-called the
condition of the Gallican Church,
condemned by the Ultramontanists
condemned by French Radicals; the
disposition not only in Protestant

chronological Characteristics of Presi
dent Grant.

from Wells Annual Journal of PHI enology and Phys
iogomyl
General Ulysses S. Grant was born
at Point Pleasant, Clermont county
Ohio, on the 9th day of April, 1922
and is, consequently, now in his forty
ninth year. He was educated al
West Point, served with credit in the
Mexican war, under Tay Tor and Scott
resigned his commission in 1853 and
was engaged in commercial pursuits,
when the war Of the Great Rebellion
broke out, His magnificent career
since that period, stretching over
the hundred battle fields which lie
between Fort Donelson and Rich :
mond, is familiar to every reader.
He is well built man Of average
stature, and may be pronounced a
very good specimen OF the average
American man. His brain is of good
size, in proportion with the body, and
it is large in the percertives, full in
the reflectives, largo in Constructive
ness, Human Nature. Cautiousness,
Continuity, Secretiveness, Hope,
Spiritually, Conscientiousness, Des-
Effectiveness, Combativeness and Be-
nevolence. The social affections are
also fully developed. Language, Ac-
quisitiveness, Imitation, and Suavity
are but moderately indicated APP
probativenessann Self Esteem are
subordinate ;but Firmness is decided
ly prominent.
We would pronounce him man
of strong practical common sense,
with an intuitive perception of char
acter, knowing almost at a glance
whom 10 trust. He possesses good
mechanical ingenuity, with planning
talent, watchfulness, application, pol
icy, prudence, honesty, enterprise,
kindness. friendship and generosity,
without much French palver or make
believe. He is o man of few words
and great courage, fortitude, resolu-
ton, perseverance and effectiveness.
These are some Of the leading points
in this character. We may add that
he is no egotist, no vain boaster, nor
will be turn to the right or left for
the love ofpraise or for fear of blame.

Plan for Collecting the Income Tax.

A prominent United States Senator
writes that the expression of public
opinion indicates a movement in ia
vor of the repeal of the present in
come tax, is strongly in favor OF a
modification Of the revenue laws,
looking to result so desirable and
so popular. He further says that
those who advocate the deduction OF
Gy per cent. by the Treasury De-
Ia ment when coupons are paid,
claim this as the most equitable and
economical plan for the COLLECTION OF
income tax or surplus wealth. AT
least 81, 600, 100000 of United States
six per cents are now held in Europe.
and on the interest paid on these
bonds not cent Of income tax is
returned to this Government. Citi-
zens Of this country arc obliged to
pay the five per cent. tax on the in
terest received by them while the
foreign holder is exempt. He thinks
that, as a Government, We have no
faith to keep with the foreign holders
of securities. The United States
negotiated her loans with her own
people, and not until after the COM
plete establishment of the suprem
acy of the Government did the Eu-
ropeans take our bonds freely, and
then the bonds were purchased OF or
through the American bankers and
should be subject to the same taxa
ton in foreign hands as they were
in the hands Of the original holders.
He thinks Secretary Boutwell, will
be justified in recommending to Con.
gross the repeal of the present in
come tax as an appropriate practical
exhibit of the fruits of his official
labors. With Commissioner Delono
to collect the taxes, sufficient can be
realized from whisky, tobacco,
stamps, licences and modified tax,
to meet the Secretary's budget of
expenditures. If Secretary Bout-
well and Commissioner Delano can
and will relieve the people from the
inquisitorial and unpopular income
tax, it will be q difficult matter to
prevent the masses of the people
from testifying their appreciation of
the public services of these gentle
men. In conclusion, he says he will
fight the recently expressed theory
of Senator Sherman to the bitter
end. - Washington Dispatch.

The Cotton Supply.

The London Times has an article
on the cotton supply which it says
is not equal to the demand, for
which it bEames the British manu-
fac urers, who have done nothing to
encourage cotton planting, but whose
policy has been such as to make the
attempt to introduce the cultivation
OF this staple into. new fields q, failure.
The article concludes:
Before the American war the
South produced and Lancashire
manufactured cotton so cheaply that
the article commanded the markets
OF the world. The native spinner
always undersold. The price of In
dian cotton is now two and half
times greater than formerly, which
is enough to dcmolish the whole
trade. No wonder the looms are
Idle. Cheap goods and dear cotton
aro incompatible. Until cheap
goods are produced, trade cannot
revive. If the average, seven pence,
pays the grower, there is no reason
WHY industry should not revive.
Protective tariffs VIII not always
prevail. If the price spoken will
satisfy the consumers and remunerate
the producers, there is nothing to
prevent the speedy revival Of pro-
duction and consumption, but be-
tween the spinner and grower must
necessarily exist the ordinary COM
mercial antagonism. Cotton is now
ten pence instead Of four pence, be-
canse American competition is reduc.
Ell. The price can only be abated by
the return to larger and more regu>
lar supplies. II India be our feeder
IL cannot BIO on teruas of free and
open trade. Cotton growers must
be prepared for revival Of Ameri-
can industry, and the competition of
the world. In such race India
would have great advantages. by
which, if a creased by the judicious
action of the [ vernment, it is prob
able that Ind. agriculture and
British industry might be establish

The Truth About Barbara Fritchie-A
Letter from One who Knew Her.
From the Hartford coarapt !

we need no apology for letting lie
readers of the CoTaat see the follow
ing letter. which has been received
at this office:
FREDRIoKCITY. Md, July %, 1869.
GENERAL; In accordance with a
promise made on Tuesday, | tak the
pen to write a few words about
Whittiers heroine.
Barbara Fritchie (not Frietchie)
was the widow of John G. Fritchie,
deceased. She died during the win,
ter of 1923, and was buried IA The
graveyard belonging to the German
Reformed Church Of friedrich. She
was an honest, earnest, faithful Chris.
tain woman, and an ardent lover of
her country. During the passage of
tho rebel army through this place in
September, 1862 she kepta small Gag
in one of her windows. Her intoler-
s.nce of the rebels was so extreme
that she is said to have used her cane
with great hriskness in clearing her
porch from number of them during
the occupancy of Friedrich, ana to
have employed terms far from COM
plimentary while thus engaged
When our own troops entered on
Friday evening before the battle OF
South Mountain, Reno is said to have
been so struck with her enthusiastic
waving of the flag ut the window,
thathe asked her age and called upon
his men to give ''three cheers for the
loyal grandmother"
Although most of Lees army pas
sed by her house, it is asserted
probably with truth-that jackson
himself did not pass directly by the
same but through an alley which eros
ses the street, obliquely, at short
distance west of it.
Whittier has evidently taken a tit
nucluesafor an exquisite poetical ideal
this brave, honest old patriot, W no
certainly kept her flag up when 9th,
ers pulled theirs down, who so dsIik>
ed traitors to her country that she
could not tolerate them even on her
porch, and whose enthusiasm and
venerable appearance provoked one
of our brave officers to call upon his
men to cheer her.
believe the foregoing paragraphs
contain the facts upon which Whit
tier has framed the poem which has
linked, Barbara Fritchie's name ,oim~
mortal verse.
Her house has passed into the hands
of the corporation of Friedrich City,
and has since been removed so as to
widen the bed of Carol crick, which
washed its walls, with view OF pro-
viding against recurrence of dis
eastrous flood, such as visited the
place last summer. The cane sent
you was made from one of the oak
timbers Of the house.
Enclosed you will find portraits of
the old lady and the famous house,
| also send you a copy of diary kept
during the rebel occupation of the
place in 1862, which will acqaaint
you with some Of the incidents con,
nected herewith

Bachelors and Flirts.

Some old bachelors git after firt,
and can't travail so fast as she doz,
and then concludes awl the famale
group are hard to ketch, and good
for nothin' when they are ketched.-
A flirt is rough thing to overhaul
unless tho right dog gets after her,
and then they are the easiest oy awl
ketck, and make the very best of
wives.
When firt really falls in love
she is as powerless as mewn daisy.
Her impudence then changes into
modesty her cunning into fear, her
spurs into halter, her pruning in
to cradle.
The best way to to ketch a firt is,
tew travel the other way from which
they are going, or sit down on the
ground and whistle some lively tune
till the firt comes round. Old bach
elors make the firts, and the firts
get more than ever by making tho
old bachelors.
A majority of firts get married
finally, for they have a great guam
tity Of the most dainty tidbits OF
woman's nature, and alwuz hav
shrewdness to back up their sweet
ness.
Flirts don't deal in poetry and wat
er>grewel, they hav got tew hav
brains, or else, somebody would trade
them out of their capital at the first
swap.
Disappointed luv must ofcourse be
all on one side, and this amt of any
more excuse fur being an old BACH
elor than it IL fur man to quit all
kinds Of manual labor, jist out of
spite, and jine a poorhouse bekase he
kant lift a tun at one pop.
An old bachelor will brag about
hiz freedom to you, biz relief from
anxiety, hiz independence. This il
dead beat past resurrection, for ev-
erybody knows there amt a more
