Burial of Dissenters In England.

Of all bad habits, narrow mindedness il
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. . ,,
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 clergyman of the
State Church, while the minister Of their
own communion was compelled to stand
silent by. Unbaptized children as well as
adults are refused decent burial, even when
minist. RS of other churches are quite wills
ing to ofliciate and crafty the feelings of
mourning friends. 1bas w H
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 decent burial even if he and his
friends Go not belong to the established
church. The world indeed moves, but this
lesPeCtdpie Uouy VI legiSiatOrS 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 or 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.

THE EcuMENIcAL CouNcIL.-It is re-
ported in England that considerable
number of Anglican clergyman have de-
termined to attend the approaching Gen-
eral Council at Rome in order to ''lay
their difficulties before the assembled pre-.
lates OF 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 Anglican
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. s,g.

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 q
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 ,sht
hour law was merely an electioneering
dodge. Congress was either ignorant or
dishonest; upon 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. The only thing
which is surprising in this matter Is. that
it did not enact that workmen should have
double pay for hnlf fwork-proyided they
were Republicans. M

Some of tile radical papers, in view Of
the late developments in the Sioux CITY
railroad case in New York ;. are anxiously
inquiring after Allison. Last February it
will be remembered that in his reply to
Col. Thomas, he made flourish over an
investigation that he was going to ask for.
The CINCINNATI Gazette is now anxiously
inquiring for Allison, as will be seen in
the following extract: v4 Sd. 80 IS. 6.
"Mr. Thomas, of Dubuque, Iowa, pub
lished letter in the Gozelie, last winter,
making serious charges against Mr.. ALI
son, member of congress from that State.
in connection with the Sioux City railroad.
The late suit in New York, in which Chas.
A. Lalnbard 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 Lalnbard 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 a large
amount of money. THE chief engineer, it
will be recollectcd, 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-
tigation, Mr.. Allison?' ~ o

The ever-present Chinese will pique our

rants and their theatre, if it is in opera
ton, and into their "Josh Houses" Their

specialities of Chinese manufacture, at

they almost monopolize the clothes wash
