The Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church of his place
is now ready to be opened to public
worship, the opening to take place
next Sabbath morning. The main
body fthis church is one of the finest
and largest public offices in northern
Iowa. The Alta is one of the finest
we ever saw, and is probably not ex-
celled in beauty Of design or in arch
itectu raj finish by anything in the
state. Arrangements are made to
heat the building by one of the finest
furnaces that money can buy. Tho
cost thus far is something over$7oO0.
It is the intention of this society
next summer to add to this structure
one of the finest towers in the west.
It is to be, at the base, twelve feet
square and will be extended up to the
ridge at this size; then it will be fur
ther extended at the size of ten feet
being surmounted With spire some
forty feet in height and cross the
top of which will be one hundred feet
from the ground. 1t is further con.
templated adding to the rear Of the
building room twenty feet square,
which leaves the present building for
worship. Too much credit cannot DO
given Father Nc Carly for the energy
with which he has pushed this enter
prise. He will also have it enclosed
in the spring with fine fence, the
grounds handsomely graded, shade
trees planted out. He has already
had 6ne walk put down from the
corner Of Cadwell's residence entire
ly up to the church door.

Democratic popular maj'y

Some persons either through igno-
rance or malice are constantly driv-
ing across the board side walks in
various parts Of town, when every
street and alley where there are
walks, is abundantly supplied with
safe and suitable crossings. If there
were no law of the town making it
an offence to thus wantonly injuro
and destroy these walks that tave
caused heavy outlay of money to
the owners Of the vacant lots along
which they have been built, there
should still be enough manhood in
every person to prevent them from
thus destroying the property of 9TH
ers. No one wishes to complain Of
those who violate these. regulations
OF the town but unless these plain
duties. that everyone owes to the
rights Of property Of others, are OBJ,
served complaints will become neces-
aary.

for the following reasons: First, it
is an experiment. Its direct results
will largely determine the taste, the
literary character and the hopes Of
our community. Certain general
features Of sy,ry society are unal-
tcrably fixed in the early years of it's
existence. The modes of its enter
tainments, the institutions it fosters,
the kind Of pleasure it seeks as the
springs of its most earnest life and
culture arc the fruit Of seeds which
must be sown in its infancy. There
arc many, very many towns to-day
languishing in low and uncertain
existence simply because their foun-
ders committed the bluader of ma king

SENSIBLE TALK ABOUT PUTTING OUT
FIREs.-A word more before Chicago Is for
gotten, about modes in extinguishing fires.
Every one knows that fire is easiest put out
in the beginning. Yet the.tendeney in Amer
lea, of late years, has been to concentrate at
tention upon means of extinguishing great
6res when under headway. The steam fire
enoine is a grand invention; but we want al
so a cheap $40 engine in every house, or every
neiehborhood, to attack fire at the beginning,
while it is controllable. A garden-pump, de.
livering water through hose, will, with three
gallons of water, put out a very large and for
midable fire. With the great fire engines
there is also desire TO throw the water HIGH.
Everybody has seen many hogsheads full of
water thrown completely over a burning
building, so that it fell upon the ground upon
the opposite side, and many more pouring
upon the roof Of the building merely to run
off as the rain does, when one barrel full, de-
livered into the lower story through the win
dow, would have extinguished the fire. The
great secrets of good and successful fireman
are: play low, on the lowest part OF the hre
throw the water in a spray, if possible; ana
don't neglect to throw pailiul this 1nstant,oI
the mere hope of being able to throw Darre,
full five minutes hence. That i've minutes
start NAV put the fire beyond the control even
of steam fire engine.-The Tribune

assume that the fastest train on the direct
line between Liverpool and London may be
taken as fair sample, and compared with
similar trains on the Erie Railway at home
with which 1 am most familiar. From Liver
pool to London, two hundred and ten miles,
through GTaa- GLASS faro is4 GhirGyTaye shilings
say n'ne dollars. On the Erie, frum New
York to Elmira, in drawing room coach, is
eight dollars for two hundred and seventy
miles, "local" rate. We ride in by far the
more elegant coaches at home, and al per-
ceptibly cheaper rates than here. We ride
as fast, too, on the Erie as here; about thirty
nine miles in either case.
In smoothness thre is no comparison. Mo.
tion on the Erie Is like rolling on oil; but
here we rattle in our seats like tin pals in a
wheelbarrow. Here there are four wheels
under coach; on the Erie twelve Here one
wheel failing necessitates disaster; there we
can spln off from one to six, and, il judicious-
ly selected, the coach is still mobile and not a
wreck. Here it is difficult to talk, and impos-
sibe to write; there do both quite intelli-
| gibly.

eighteen years, to fiEd an English railway no
longer superior to our own In any particular
