this machinery is limited to elections

times, should choose their officers un-
awed by Federal bayonets, what
would it avail in the presence OF the

HORSE SENsE.-We have often
heard the expression "horse sense"
used, but have never seen it so fully
illustrated as in the following horse
story from Wabash, Indiana, which
we find in an exchange:
A horse owned in this city is pos
>ossed of mdeveloped talent which,
if properly trained, would make him
the ''pride OF the arena" He not
Jnly releases himself from the stable
without any difficulty, but not long
since went TO pump, and taking the
handle between his teeth began pump
ing water. There being no trough or
bucket at the well he was unable to
supply himself with the beverage,
and, after minutes deliberation, pre-
Sented at the front door, and, pulling
the bell-rope with his teeth, request
ed the loan of bucket! Ii any ono
doubts the truth OF the above, we can
show as proof the prints of his teeth
on the pump handle and bell knob, as
also the horse himself. ST.

The eleventh artisan well is now
howing in this country, and there is
40 diminution in any other well.-
rhe number of these wells, and the
nnfailing success in boring them, sug-
gests an idea that they can be advan-
cageously used for purpose of power.
1t costs about $1,000 to bore a five
nch well; $1,000 or 81 500 more will
ularge it to seven inches; the inter-
est on this money is 5000 per year, and
,uch well will furnish power am
ply sufficient for any ordinary man
uiacturing purpose. Thirty-six su-
perfcial inches of water, under head
Of seventy-five to one, hundred feet,
will discharge 1,500 gallons per min
ute. The weight OF this upon a tur-
Dine or overshot wheel can be readily
calculated. Coal to do the same work
with the labor OF an engineer, will
cost not less than $4,000 per year. 1t
would seem that Chicago possesses i'm
its subterranean streams the elements
of most magnificent water-power;
and if further developments should
confirm the present promise, no man
diacturing point in the world could
compete with it.-Chicdgo Paper.

SECRETS OF THE INQUIsITIoN.

ords of the Venetian Republic, which
are preserved in the vast halls of the
.'Farai," are eighteen huge folio vol-i
umes bound i'll parchment, and letter.
I'd ''Annotations OF the 1nquisitors of
State.Y These volumes contain the
whole of the records of that institu-
ion. Years ago they were removed
together with large masses of other
documents, to Vienna. There no per-
son was permitted TO have access to
hem; not, in all probability, in con-
sequence of any desire on the part of
he Austrians to keep the secrets of
che Venetian Inquisilors, but proba-
oily because the masses OF papers
brought away were allowed to remain
mexamiDed and unarranged in the
:ases in which they had been brought
across the Alps. But in 1868. by vir-
tue of clause in the treaty of peace,
sighed between Austria and Italy,
these volumes, together with many
,ther documents. were restored to
Italy and replaced in their old resting
place at the Farai, where they are

bility will shortly be laid before his

fere with the legitimate province Of the
temporal power in His capacity of infal-
lible Head Of tho Church. This simply
shows that there can be an infallible head
Of the Church and nm independent civil or
temporal power within the limits Of its
proper functions, exciting at the sam Q
time. And that 10 all that we have to
show.
But our neighbor is curious to know ho,p
this can be if the Pope can say how far his
province goes and where that of the State
begins. In this way. If the Pope is really
infallible lie can NO more decide that his
Jurisdiction extends over q question not
legitimately within it than he can decide
against the doctrine Of the Trinity or of
the Divinity of Christ. That is the simple
answer to the whole difficulty.
"But" you say, ''suppose he does so
decide anyhow" Then we say lie is no
longer infallible, that is you cannot sup
pose him to make such decisi on and he
infallible at the same time. Now we
promptly admit that false assumption of
infallibility by an impostor who has no
right to it would be highly dangerous to
civil liberty as we'll as ruinous to religious
liberty. Nobody differs from another on
that point. But the question is whether
an actual infallibility would be dangerous
to, or inconsistent with civil liberty. May
we hope that our neighbor will have slept
off it's headache and will be satisfied 2

Thus We zee from the paragraph quoted,
that tho vaulting ambition Of our colored
population sustained by contempt BILE
party organization which cannot exist q
moment except with the support Of the
colored vote and which will pander to that
vote at any expense Of ,decency, has sue
ceeded in putting ono Of our most respec-
table schools In the charge Of three young
colored women and Of subordinating to
them an experienced and accomplished
white lady teacher. Even the Picayune is
getting tired of such an abuse.
We hope our neighbor will look from
particulars to generals and open its eyes
to the fact that this is bnt one of the thous-
and forms in which the public school sys-
tenn may. very easily be prostituted to the
prejudices and passions of the day. From
such premises it must naturally conclude
that it would be safer to leave to parents
their natural right of choosing schools for
their own children. --
1t Is monstrOus wrong, at any rate, to
deprive men Of such a right. Tie care of
his children is NO less an inalienable right
of every freeman than tt at to life and liber-
ty, and ought, like them, to be forfeited
only through some grievous crime. Educa-
ton to q certain extent may be necessary
to the formation of good citizens, but that
fact does not justify the government in
taking charge of the process Of education.
Its purpose could be equally carried out by
paying pro rata tuition for poor children
at schools of their own choice. This
wonld secure their education without in
fringing on parental control. Even though
compulsory education should be deter
mined on, still the choice of schools could
be left to parents while they would have
no choice as to whether or not they should
send their children to some school.
When q philosopher 10 contentedly jog
ging along on his hobby it is hard to make
him perceive that there is any mud about
until he 10 pitched into it. We therefore
rejoice to see that the Picayune and other
papers have had little practical expert
ence of the mud in which we have been
80 long obliged to founder.

We quote the following from the New
Orleans Times of last ThursdAy

Orleans Times of last Thursday
Gambetta and His Grace, the Archbishop OF
Paris, lately had . little bout, in which the
1sa the to sr the
scheme Of making public instruction oompol-
sorry and gratuitons, and assumed that all in
sha des and
| and tyrannical. Gambetta replied In few
caustiO remarks, only bringing the good
nenoe.
Now, we have seen neither Of the pro-
dence that the editorial comment of the
Times is totally erroneous. Not only does
the Archbishop Of Paris, but 80 does every
other Catholic, denounce the compulsory
education scheme as unchristian and inhu-
man, especially where the government as
sumes control of the detail of educa.
ton. That venerable and learned pre-
late should have misunderstood or mis-.
stated tho position of his church on so plain
a question cannot be supposed, and that the
full, free conclusion of the whole church on
so grave q subject, concurred in by all the
vast and brilliant intelligence which it
boasts among its children, should be 80
absurd and trivial as to ''get by far the
worst Of it" at the hands of clever attor-
ney like Mr.. Gambetta' Gin . few caustic
remarks" is quite as improbable.
The language of the Times is rather tri-
umphant in it's tone; it's style of reference
to o venerable ecclesiastic 10 sufficiently
fippant and irreverent, but We shall hold
it excused of all Intentional insolence to
the Catholics of this community, so far as
our opinion goes, if it will have the fairness
to republish the two documents, to which
1t makes reference as above. 1t confesses
that Gambetta's effusion is very short, and
certainly that Of his Grace, the Archbishop,
would be highly interesting to al Catholic
readers no matter how long it might be,
considering the absorbing nature of tho
topic. :.
Now let the Times, if it considers its Ca
tholic readers of sufficient importance to
justify the occasional insertion Of an ar.
ticle for their benefit, make the draft upon
its valuable space above suggested. If it
desires to show fair play, let it come out
manfully and give the public an opportuni.

affair, so emphaticaliy announced, is cor
rect.
