IYFALLIBILITY OF THE PoPE.-The lee
ture of Rev. f. Garesche at st. Peter S
last evening had large and attentive
audience, and the lecture did not disap-
point the most expectant, unless by its
clear, unambiguous enunciations, unfold
ing and explaining the true meaning of
the decision of the Ecumenical Council,
that not as man, but as the head of
the Church, the Pope must be considered
infallible. AS man he might be liable
to error, though rigidly and scrupulously
exact in his conduct; and his opinions
in temporal matters might deviate from
the right, whatever might be his aim to
be entirely correct; but as the head
of the Church, the successor of St.
Peter his utterances must be conclusive,
and consequently infallibly right He
compared the ecclesiastical routine to the
process of the courts, where the errors
of lower tribunals are overhauled and
corrected by the higher authority. 1t
was in his official capacity the Pope is
infallible. He freely admitted that some
of the Popes had been of more than
questionable character, stained with the
impurities that afflict human nature, but
as the head of the church, his decision
was final and must be respected as the
truly declared, revealed unalterable, di-
vine law. Our space and time do not
permit us to furnish even an outline of
this calm, philosophical and most deeply
interesting lecture. 1t was listened to
with rapt attention, and there was not
one who heard it that did not receive in
struotiQp, and who was not thoroughly
impressed with The commanding ability
and conscientious piety Of the lecturer.

THAT SAD LIFE.HrsTORy.
More ofit-Fur.nsr Along Chapter

Many have imagined that the sad tale
Of the ruin Of two sisters, through the
wiles of heartless Individual, was woven
from fancy, and aChelsean assured us that
the matter had been sifted by conclave
of old denizens of that suburb, and no
such doings were carried on, and no
such people lived there. The tune has
changed, however, although Chelsea and
Scotland have to divide the honors. The
outline Of the story was true enough
there might be some slight discrepancy
in the filing up, such, for instance, as
the revolving addition that the second
sister had resorted to abortion to hide her
shame, although amid the haunts of vice
she is shameless now.
We have learned further particulars of
this modern Don Juan, INSCRIPTIONS
and Unstable as that false lover, though
perhaps not SO endowed with his indom-
table pluck, save where females are
concerned, to gain whose good graces he
is hard worker. He is even now, with
all his sins upon his head, assiduously
paying court to a married woman, who
receives his attentions with smiles of
complacency gaily rides forth WITH or
is driven by, him FOR an airing. Perhaps,
as yet nothing criminal has occurred in
that quarter, but the woman stands on
slippery hight, and there is certain
abyss beneath, dark and yawning, and
from which there is no return. If some
kind friend were to warn her, and
she be not too deeply enamored, she
may yet be saved from the embrace
of the demon. He can go on with his
rat-killing if he believes there's no here
after; but we wonder if he does not
sometimes have sleepless nights when
the past with all his iniquities comes
trooping up to fill his mind with terror
And does he think, too, to evade the
law, which will one day grab him by the
collar and make him provide for that
sin-born child which is still at nurse, a
fine hearty boy-child? There have been
some whispers that such fiend must be
aided by Mephistopheles Tor that demon
HIMSELF, and should be despoiled of his
subtle power, and be rendered as harm
less as the fangless serpent Had he
not better gather up his victims, one and
ALL and make for the realms Of Brigham
Young without further delay, lest Utah
should be reduced to propriety, and like
others there he must be contented with
single spouse to render unhappy-for
happiness cannot dwell in the shadow of
such monster.

QUITE PILE. One of the morning
papers has it that Mr.. John Watson was
robbed of 800. 1t was the industrious,
Woodworking Jack Waters, who has made
a little surplus by the sweat of his brow,
by moving tenements from exploded
leaseholds. During the temporary alb
sence of his wife the sum of $500 was
distracted from between the beds where
it had been concealed), it is supposed by
woman washing there that day,
although nothing as yet has been discov-
cred to convict her.

ALL RIGHT.-It was announced that
some delay had been occasioned on the
Memphis and Louisville railroad by a
landslide. 1t was small affair, and the
delay of short duration. Under the SUI
perintendence of General Boyd, every
thing seems to be anticipated on that
road. There was small fall of dirt on
the GAINESVILLE division, and the whole
delay before the track was entirely clear
again was but few hours.

official telegram from Berlin says Prus-

in some portions OF Arkansas, as well as
in some parts of Louisiana and Missis-
sipp, are reported to be suffering severe
ly from the army worm. A White river
exchange says:
Planters inform us that the army worm
has appeareci in their fields in great
numbers, and are eating all the grass
clean, and in some instances attacking
the cotton. We hope our farmers may
be deceived; thai it may be a grass worm,
and not seriously attack the crops.
A letter from Selma, Ark, says:
On the l4th inst. worm innumerable
made their appearance in our county.
They are thought to be grass worms.
They devour the grass first and then all
vegetables i'm their way, stripping the
corn blades as high as the ear, and then
prey on the ears and silk of the corn.
Also their rayages in the cotton fields, in
many places, are very great. They COM
mence on the cotton plant by topping
the main stalk and branches, and eating
the squares, blossoms and boles. We
hope for the best, but there is great alarm
in the country.
Another from Winona, Miss, July %,
says;
The army worm is depredating on our
crops in this county considerably, which
may affect the cotton market in the fu-
ture.
A letter from Goodman, Miss, to
factor in New Orleans says:
"The worms in this neighborhood
(Goodman) are destroying the crops,
and you will hold on to all my cotton"

other portions of the States named
