SEVENTEENTH DAY.
BALTIMORE, MD, Oct. %.

DEAR JoUENAL-After Sundays rest
the members of this house find themselve.
ready again to handle without gloves the
badly used up question of Ritual. SeveTa
things were reported as concurred in by
the House Of Bishops. Article ~ OF the
constitution has been amended go as to
drop the last seven words, and insert GER
tain words rs pertaining 10 the rights Of
the diocese In selecting n bishop, and also
of the duty of bishop in q restricted
sense. Judge Shet1ey of Virginia, read a
report from the committee on canons rela-
tive to the change of the constitution as
appertains to the trial of bishops, presby
tiers and 3eacons, and that the proposed
change be presented to the docese5 scve
rally in convention assembled.
The grand question involved II whether
there can.be court OF appeal from the
diocesan court, both as to ritual and dis
cipline, as we'll as to the settling of oil
other questions in dispute, but having
nothing to do with doctrine. On the pro-
posed change of Art. V. of constitution,
the delegation from North Carolina. both
clerical and lay, voted aye. DIR, DeRosset
voted nay. 1t was reported ineXpedient
to change the word "Convention" to that
OF Council" a long report was read re-
latlve to present status of religion In Italy
and Germany. 1t referred particularly to
the labors of the commission of this church
bearing witness to Catholic truth, A great
deal Of talk about bringing about unity.
This unity of all in one body, will be Ger
tain to take place when the last trumo will
sound, and when man will have taken his
side III eternity. Very Rev. DIR. Howson,
Dean OF Chester, is now introduced to the
House, 20 minutes after IL O'clock, A. M.
He speaks on the italian Reform move
ment. lie said that he did not come here
to teach but to learn. He said that he was
asked to speak Oh the general subject of
Italian Church Reform. He said he did
not wish to be at all hindered in his lib
erty Of speech as to the question, and he
preferred therefore not to speak until this
House had concluded its deliberation on
the subject. 1t has done SO, and he now
speaks with the full sweep of liberty, beth
as locker on and as an Englishman. We
ought to be in sympathy with the Italian
movement. He entered deeply into facts,
general and specific, connected with this
movement. He spoke nearly forty min
1tes, and was listened to with attention. |
He concluded by saying that when he
ooked down upon the inscriptions which |
showed that there were delegates from the
ar North to the far off South, from East
10 West. that he could not find words to
express himself. He felt there was great
uture for this Church, and that it should
lot be neglectful of it's opportunities. He
banked Almighty God that such peace
nd love has aetaated this whole ConYen-

AGood Loke.

A scene described below is said to
have taken place in the kentucky
Legislature, in the winter of 1867:
A member from one of the noun
tain counties was a persistent reader
of the Louisville Journal, and each
morning, as the House opened, would
commence reading his favorite pa
per. About the same moment, some
member would move to dispense with
the reading of the journal, and our
mountain member wonld lay down
his paper.-He stood this for some
time; but one morning, rising from
his seat, after the usual motion, he
exclaimed, at the top of his voice:
"NIr. Speaker, I've sot here for
more'n week, and submitted to the
tyranny of this House. Somebody,
every morning, moves to dispense
with the reading of the Journal, and
Pve lost every paper I've bought for
a week by it; and no man has ever
moved to dispense with the Demo,
crat or Courier; and, Mr.. Speaker, I
won't stand it any longer. Mr.. Speak
er-" Here the balance was lost in
the general laughter.

Laws for the Protection Of
Game.

A writer in the Cincinnati Com
merciaI proposes the enactment Of a
new Game law in this State, as fol-
lows:
My game law, and one which I
have the presumption to think win
meet the appreciation of sportsmen
and lovers of the feathered tribe, is
as follows:
Allow quail to be killed during
the months of November, Decem-
Der and January.
Ruffed grouse, from September l,
to January l. Include the wood
cock and snipe in the same provi-
sion.
Duck. from September l, 10 Feb
ruary l.
| Abolish all spring and summer
shooting.
These provisions, should they be
adopted by the Legislature, and
strictly enforced as law, violations
being laid subject to heavy penalties,
would go far toward remedying the
existing abuses.
There exists, however, among the
ignorant and uncultivated, preju-
dice against game laws, which Frank
Forester says they seem to assoei-
ate with feudal rights, &c, and, there
fore, are contrary to our Republican
institutions. Here, in Southern Ohio,
quaiIs are netted and brought open
Iy into the towns for sale, and are
shot, out of season, without the least
compunction. The offenders do not
seem to fear the grip Of the law
and the officials, under whose very
eyes some of these outrages are per
petrated, pass them by as trifiing of.
fenses, and pay no attention to the
matter. Certainly this matter should
be examined into and some refOrma-
tion effected. If any citizen causes
the offenders to be brought to justice
he undergoes a sort of social Ostra
cism far from pleasant, being in
stantly spotted and subjected to pet
ty indignities. In the name of the
law-abiding citizens of Ohio, lei
some attention be paid to this.
The remedy is plain. The people
of New York seem to have discov
cred it, and probably have at last ap
preciated the labors of poor Frank
Forester, by adopting at this latt
day many of his suggestions. Orange
county, the scene of many of thost
exploits which have been introduced
into his beautifully woven romancei
and sporting sketches, has becomc
especially vigilant in the protection
of game. Constables, especially ap
pointed to give their entire attention
to the matter, have been installed
and are now performing the func
tions of their offices.
Let Ohio initiate the example o
} the Empire State before compelled
, to. First, let the game laws under
J go total revision; appoint cousta
bles especially to enforce the law
, let the shooting clubs and the sports
J men cooperate, and things will ye
work smoothly.

Darien Ship Canal.

Commodore Selfridge, in charge
of the Darian canal survey, has
carefully examined what is known
as the Atrato route to the confluence
of the Napipi river, a distance of
twenty miles. The Atrato is navi-
gable to this point, and here the real
difficulties of the work begin. A
canal must ran thence to Simon bay
on the Pacific coast, thirty-two
miles away the lowest level of the
divide is six hundred and twelve
feet there must be a cut two humid
red and sixty-four feet in depth,
and at least several hundred in
length and to cap the climax there
must be q tunnel four miles long,
and large enough to admit the pass
age of ships of heaviest burden with
topmasts sent down. The SeIfridge
plan requires nine locks on tho At
lantic and thirteen on the Pacific,
each with ten feet lift-and the
total expense of the entire work is
set down at s1O6,OOO,OOO, with s25,-
100000 put aside to meet unexpected
obstacles or errors in calculation.
Now, according to the most accu-
rate information to be obtained, and
making the amplest allowances in
favor of the enterprise, there might
be 100000 tonnage pass through the
canal annually, provided it can be
built. Calculating sOven per cent. as
a low enough rate of interest on the
investment to pay the proper returns
and meet running expenses, the
yearly earning should be, say SIS, ,0O0,-
900. This would be $40 a ton-or,
on a vessel of six hundred tons, So
600, which amounts to actual pro-
hibition for no commerce in the
world could stand such an enormous
tax. If Commodore SeIfridge can
not find a cheaper canal track across
the Isthmus than by the Atrato
river, we may as we'll abandon the
task in despair, for the Suez canal
was mere chiId's play compared to
this. But those who have examined
the Tehuantepec route claim that
it is far better in every respect that
q canal there can be built much
cheaper, the transit be made more
easily and safer, and consequently
that the tolls will be lower. These
are strong recommendations, but the
question is, are they based on facts ?
, That we must and will have a ship
canal between the Atlantic and Pa
cifc, is perhaps foregone conclu-
sion ; but the when, where and how,
are slightly uncertain just now.

Advertising Aplrorlsms.


Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have a good thing, adver-
tise it. If you haven't, don't.
If you don't mean to mind your
own business, it will not pay to adj
vertise.
Never run down your opponents
goods in public. Let him do his
own advertising.
It's as true of advertising as of
any thing else in this world-if it is
worth doing at all, it is worth doing
well.
We don't recommend advertising
as the best way to get a wife F; but
we know that it is the best way to
get a good trade.
You can't eat enough in one week
to last whole year, and you can't
advertise on that plan either.
A large advertisement once, and
then discontinued, creates the i'm
preston that the man has fzzled.
Iujudicious advertising is like
fishing where there's no fish. You
need to let the lines fall in the right
place.
A constant dropping will wear a
rock. Keep dropping your adver-
tisements on the public and they
will soon melt under it like rock
salt.
Large type isn't necessary in ad-
vertising. Blind folks don't read
newspapers.
If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement it is a point gained.
The fair sex don't hold all the curl
osity in the world.
Don't be afraid to invest in print,
er's ink, lest your sands of life be
nearly run out.
When you advertise, see that you
lido it on the same principle that yOr
buy goods. Get the most you car
for the money.
People who advertise only once il
three months forget that most folk'
can't remember anything longe
! than seven days.

WhitelaW Reid. Managing Ed
itOr of the N. z. Tribune.

The Xenia Torchlight thus refers
to a recent visit of Mr.. Reid to his
old home in that vicinity.
Whitelaw Reid, the managing ed
itor of the New York Tribune, left
for New York Monday morning after
a brief visit to the old homestead of
the family near this city. Mr.. Reid
Expected to meet Mr.. Greeley at
Cleveland on his westward trip. He
gives a glowing account of the pros
perity of the Tribune, two dividends
of, we have forgotten how many
thousands, having been made since
the first of the year, and during the
past year the large sum of 10000
set aside for building purposes. The
Tribune people contemplate the cree
ton Of magnificent edifce at an
expense of half a million dollars at
an early day, though Mr.. Reid says
the work will probably not be COM
menced until after the Presidential
campaign. Mr.. Reid resides in New
York some two miles from the Trib-
une Office, up town, but he will
shortly be in instantaneous commu-
nication with his place of business
by means of telegraphic lines, which
are in process of construction. Of
course, the rumor that he is
about to start new daily in Gin
cinnati is wholly without foundation.
