The Anglican Church and her offshoots

ritual. AT one time we hear of n pio's

various ritualistic eccentricities were
preached. At one church in the CITY a can

on the communion table, and the rector
gracefully posed himself during the read
ing OF the epistle with the book in one
hand and the artistically modelled capdle
stick with it's long six in the other. At an
other church the gas took it into it's head |
to go out, and the congregation had to |
make acts of patience till two candles were
fetched from the rectory and placed on the
communion table. When the time came
for the reading of the Second Lesson, a
procession was formed by two charity
school boys, who solemnly shuf1led up the
aisle in the ch2ncel and shufed down
again to the lectern, where they pIaced
themselves one on each side of the rector.

BELGIUM AND THE ROMAN QUESTION
In the sitting of the Senate on the Goth of
September, M. de Solvyns protested against
the attack made by Italy upon the pope.
He compared the position of the Roman
States, subjected to the rights of the
strongest, to the position in which Belgium
might find herself under certain circum-
stances, and he asked,whether the Govern
ment had taken steps to protect the return
OF the Belgians in the service of the Pope
to their native country. Baron d'Anethan.
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, replied
that Belgium, as n neutral State, was
obliged to act with prudence; but that,
nevertheless, instructions had been sent to
the Belgian Consuls in the Pontifical States
to afford protection to the Belgian troops.
He added that no Belgians were reported
to have been killed in the fighting which
had taken place at the gates of Rome,
though a few had been slightly wounded.
On the part of the Left, Mr.. Reyntjens pro-
tested against the comparison instituted be-
tween Belgium and the Roman States. His
speech gave rise to loud protests from the
Senator's of the Right, in which, however,
1t is said, the members of the Govern
ment, probablyffem prudential motives,
and lest their actions should be calumni-
Dusty misinterpreted by evil men, did not
oin.

The English Policy.

1 AAO AAsJAAShA OuSy"
? So sudden has been the recent movemer
of England towards establishing peace be
tween France and Prussia that the whol
world has put on it's guessing cap to dis
Z cover what may be the cause of it. Th
French people and papers are very niue
inclined to think that England has bee
instigated to this move by Prussia; tina
Prussia has met with such unexpected re
sistance before the walls of Paris, has suf
fered so much from disease among her sol
diers, and looks forward to a winter cam
paign with such misgiving that she is YER,
anxious for peace, and puts England for
ward as an honorable means of getting it
on good terms if she can, but anyhow
peace.
There may be something in this, but W,
rather suspect that the principal pressur,
has been from within. The crowd of 20 ,OO(
that assembled the other day in the palace
yard and plainly expressed their opinions
about non-interference in the French war
and, in that connection, about the Queen, hel
family and monarchy generally, may have
had something to do with it. The English
government-not the people, but the gov
| ernment-is tyranncal but timid. AS long
as 1t feels certain of maintaining it's posi-
ton by the bayonet, there is no thought of
concession among its naughty nobility, but
once let the real English lion show it's
teeth, and nobody can be more complainant
and compromising and even toadying, if
necessary, than the same naughty nobility,
fhrnu Oh THAR pnh1a -, ~,
and Upper House.
Now there have been some very signifi-
cant and ominous popular demonstrations
of late in London itself. The mere exist
ence of French Republic is making the
English people quite restless. They, too,
are casting longing glances towards the
bourne of self government. An English
Cabinetofsome years ago would have shifted
scornfally and contemporary at such de-
monstrations, but to-day they cannot ig-
more the drift of the age. They know full
well that the popular tendency of Europe
is towards Republicanism, and they are
that if John Bull once raises his |
1and to strike for 1t, he will have it.
No doubt all the monarchies of Europe |
Ire anxious for peace, for, if the war con-
'inues much longer, they cannot look with
'ut apprehension upon their own immedi-
tie future. Peace at any price is their only
their own dynastes. But can
hey get peace )? France will not cede one
nch OF territory nor pay one dollar to get
t, and Prussia can hardly be asked to
her troops and yield her advan-
ages without some fruit therefrom. But !.
he will either have to do that, and do it
or the crowned heads of Eu-
ope will probably combine to- overthrow
he Republic in France and put king upon
re-established throne.
In that case it will remain to be seen !
neither the United States and the Demo- 8
ratio masses of Europe will have nothing 4
, say. 1t seems to us that the day when =
lch combination shall be proclaimed i
ill be the era of a general upheaval which ii
ill, perhaps, overthrow European ROYALTY -

As far as we have heard from the MEM
bers Of the House now in the city, and from
veteran lobbyists, it seems to be generally
conceded that Hon. Mortimer Carr will be
the next Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. From the character and ability
of the new House, it is very fair to presume
that the coming session will be turbulent,
and hard to manage. If this fact be con-
coded, it is very apparent that the person
elected as Speaker should possess some ex-
perience, and ability adequate to the emer-
a public body of men, there can be little
doubt, if any. He has been at the post be-
fore, and was found eminently fitted for the
duties of Speaker. There is one thing GER
tain with Mr.. Carr; he sciu take care Of his
friends. He did go last winter, and, we be-
ieve, will do 50 again.-NeW Orleans STAN

If the great value of the Grover e. Baker
sewing machine had not long ago been es-
tablished beyond the possibility of doubt,
the action of the committee Of awards at
the Mobile Agricultural and Mechanical
Fair recently. would be enough in itself to
set up the reputation of that valuable sew
ing machine. As will be seen by referring
to our advertising columns, the Grover &
Baker machine received six premiums-all
first class, and one special diploma. The
premiums were each for some separate good
quality in the n.achine-not all given in
lump, but each speciality required in a sew
ing machine was tested. For instance; it
proved the best family machine; the best
for manufacturing purposes, the easiest un-
derstood and worked, the most rapid, the
least liable to get out Of order, and so on.
It was thorough test, and all the competi-
tors were duly and thoroughly examined;
and when the awards were given, we have
been told, there was general rejoicing
among the ladies present, for it is almost
needless to remark that the Grover & Baker
machine is the favorite everywhere with the
ladies. But if the examinations of the ma
chimes were close, what must that have
been when the special diploma was to be
awarded for the best made shirt. Yet Gro
yer & Baker got it. Who could doubt it,

The parade of the regiment OF artillery
gave our citizens an opportunity, yesterday
afternoon, of forming an opinion IS to the
beauty OF their new uniforms, just finished
by our friend Arnold Weber, the great
tailor of Gravier street. When it Is remem-
bered that Mr.. Weber has made over two
thousand of these uniforms within the past
ninety days, and that he had to organize an
entire new factory to do it, the great neat
ness and. beauty of each suit will appear
somewhat astonishing. That each suit was
made according to Individual measure Is
true, and that the gentlemen for whom they
we're intended would have never worn them
else, is also true. But that augmented his
difficulties, it must be conceded-indeed, the
wonder is how he ever got through with the
Job at all-much less made success Of it.
But he did make success, a brilliant sue
cess. and we congratulate him. Henceforth
he should take the title of military tailor for
the citizen soldiery of Louisiana. He de-
serves it.
