THERE has been in the Catholic
church for centuries a saying that
mo Pope shall sec the years Of Saint
Peter" The years of Saint Peter"
having been something less than
twenty-six years in the Papal chair,
it has been thought that Pho Nino is
in a fair way to contravene this an
Gent proverb. On Friday last Plus
completed the twenty fourth year of
his pontifieate, and If he lives till the
oath OF August, 1871, he viii have
ontlived that of the great patron saint
Of Rome. In a climate like that OF the
Eternal City, there are great chances
of sudden death at any time, but the
Pope is now in the best health he has
seen for years, and is moreover tenn
perate and peaceful as human being
can ever be, so that it may be given
him to exceed the years beyond
which it was held that no man could
pass.
FREE SEATs.-Ata Convention of
tho Protestant Church, held June A,
at Indianapolis, the following resolu
tions were adopted, after an animated
discussion;
Resolved, First, that In the Free
Church system we recognize the rais-
ing and using of the revenue of
Christ's Church, as EMBODIED in his
teachings, and as applied in the struc-
ture and management of the Church
by the apostles.
Resolped, That it is the duly of
every one to strive by every just means
to have this method adopted In the-
DRY and in the practical workings of
each parish.
Rcso7Ued, That considering free
seats 10 our churches to be in ac-
cordance with the spirit of The Cos
pel which is free to oil. rich or poor,
we arc disposed to labor by all proper
means to make our churches free to
all who may choose to come.
A MOST bitter quarrel is raging in
the Roman Catholic Church in this
country, that may yet call for the in
tervention of some of the ''infalli-
bles." FTeoman's Journal has been
speaking its mind about some of the
Bishops and some other clergy, and
the Catholic Telegraph has dished out
whole pages in their defense. The
war wakes not with the advance OF
the season. The last Telegraph thus
hints to the aforementioned freeman
Journal that its patronage may suffer
for its audacity il speaking its mind
When a priest is ordained he prom
ises obedience and respect to his
Bishop. Is this VOW kept In ito integ-
rity by subscribing for the support Of

character of that Bishop by vitupera-

ness?" Is he faithful to his vows

Several priests in this diocese, inspired

could from their missions. They had

THE DEVILS DISADVANTAGES
After all, the devil fights under great
disadvantages. and has to carry
weights In all his races which are al
most unfair. lie lies. as a matter OF
course. believing thoroughly in lies,
thinking that it is by lies chiefly that
he must make his running good; aud

been told and used, remains as an ad-
ditiopal weight to be carried. When
ron have used your lie gracefully and
successfully. it is hard to bury it and
get it we'll out of sight. lt crops up
here and there against you, requiring
more lies; and at last, too often, has
