UPPER SANDUSKY, THURSDAY,

| whole nation enthusiastically organized; so
that all the inhabitants are, by fiction of
law, members of the State church. The
election at Bliston, therefore, was worthy
| of note for two reasons: because it was
conducted just as English political cleo
tions are conducted and because, by the
rule of household suffrage, Roman Catho-
lies, Dissenters, and Jews, and, for that
matter, people unconscious of any "per
| suasion" whatever, were found voting an
incumbent for life into Church of Eng
land "cure of souls" The scenes at the
election had all the indecorous vivacity
which additionally marks the choice OF
the undaunted Briton of knights and bur
gesses to Parliament. There were crowds,
unlimited beer, chatting, Iioting and brick
bat throwing; cabs were hid behind enor-
nous placards which bore the names of
the rival clergymen, and conveyed infirm
but Jealous partisans to the polling booths /;
voters were hustled out of the cabs and as
saulted bands of amazons seized ON luck
less wights who bore hostile colors, and
proved that, if they could not be voters,
they would at least filch the right from
others; reverend candidates were burned
in effigy; groups of excited partisans,
armed with sticks, paraded the town, with
colliery- girls and Irish boys at their heels,
and let forth their wrath by smashing win
dows. An English journal is inclined to
take pride in the fact that matters did not
get so far as "the throwing of dead cats !"
this, however, the writer thinks, might
have been owing to the circumstance that
the nomination took place in 1.-THE sacred
precincts of the vestry." This nomina
ton at the vestry-which preceded, as in
the parliamentary elections, the polling of
the votes-must have been a curious scene
There were "cheerS, yells, ard grCans,"
from the excited crowd, re echoing through
nave and chancel; the chairman waxed
wIoth; and, irritated by the noisy women,
minated that the ladies present were
widows waiting for husbands" A speak a
said "they wanted full grown man !" ''the
best brains in the country" thought an
other, was the object to be sought for"
while, in the midst of the harangue of a
third, some of the "ladies" fourished their
bonnets and chartered with malicious in
tent; and one of them, to prove that she
was not, as the chairman charged, a girl,
thrust her wedding-ring in his face; the
reverend aspirants tried to speak, and were
hooted; and the meeting broke up in dis
order. This is only one of the multitude
of anomalies presented by the state estab.
lishment, one of many proofs how badly
the connection works for the good of the
Church itself That a clergyman of one
sect should be chosen by a jumbled up
crowd, composed of all sects and none, is
rather more democratic and "leveling"
than even the so-much- dreaded institutions
of America itself.-Appleton's Journal.

TaE rain is drifting down again;

And round the hill its veil is drawn.
Oh, cold and long the day will b.;
No light, no warmth, 1t brings to me;
For you, my lovei my love to day

How wait your In some grassy place,
Beneath an arch Of bowery trees,

Your hands clasped idly on your knees?

A Church Election in England.

A REMARKABLE event occurred recently
in England, which does not seem to have
attracted the attention of our usually Ar
gus-eyed journalists. In the primitive
colliery town of Bliston, an election took
place without politicians, and where the
hustings were unadorned by the tradition
al Whig yellow and Tory blue. 1t ap-
pears that the rectorship of the vii
lage church is Z" in the gift of the parish
toner's; and when it happens-as at some
time or other it must-the rector dies, the
parish is called on en- naasse to choose his
successor. Now by "the parish" is not
only meant the congregation, or flock OF
the church, as with US, but the term in
cludes all the Inhabitants, of whatever re-
| ligious faith, or no filth, residing within
certain geographical limits 1t is a polit-
ical and geographical, rather than an eccle'
siaStical term. The theory of church al
| lied 10 State is, that it comprises the
Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-08-17

Now, in all candor, we ask the free and
intelligent voters of the United States if it
is safe to trust the government of the
country-the care of our Liberties, civil
and religious, in the hands of men who
have often and plainly demonstrated an
incapacity, both of purpose and of char
acter. to rule in the interest of civil and
religious liberty, or to preserve the peace
and order of the country unbroken?-To-

IDLE BEN.

IDHs BEN was naughty boy;
If you please, this story trueD
He caused his tea hers great annoy,
And his worthy parents too.
Idle Ben in a boa tful way,
To his anxious parents told,
That. while he was young, he thought he'd play !;
And he'd learn when he grew old.
"Ah, Ben I" said his mother and dropped tear
You'll he sorry for this by and by !"
Sas Ben, " To me, that's not very clear;
But at any rate I'll try"
So Idle Ben. he refused to learn,
Thinking that he could wait;
But, when he had his living to earn,
He found Ii was just too late.
Little girls, little boys don't delay your work:
Some day you'll be women and men:
Whenever your tisk you're inclined to shirk
Take warning by Idle Ben.

A LOUISVILLE physician, having been
presented with a live ratt esnake, con-
cluded to preserve it. He prOce' ded to
XIII it by first administering chloroform
to it and then, to preserve the specimen
intact, he plunged it into a large glsss jar
full of alcohol. The reptile was quite
ard exhibited no signs of life until it had
been in the spirits full fifteen minutes. 1T
then began to writhe in the jar in such a
manner as to render necessary the forcible
retention of the lid upon the vessel. In a
short time, however, all signs of vitality
ceased.

At Huntsville, where the Presbyterian
General Assembly was then in session, Rev.
A. ID. Pollock, Of Virginia, preached last
Saturday night. He is said to be an able
divine. He certainly advanced come very
original views from the text, f'There re.
maineth, therefore, q rest for the people OF
God" He said that "rcst might be trans
lated sabbaticism," and that 1t was proba-
BILE that there was Sabbath long before
Adam was created, which idea he illustra-
ted from the text.
"All the SONS of God shouted for JOY"
Shouted, he thought, indicated worship,
and probably Sabbath worship. He sup
posed Adam and Eve to have been created
children, being nurtured in Paradise by an.
gels, and growing up to maturity there
which belief he founded upon the reye.a-
tion that God planted trees In the garden,
which were at first small, and grew with
Adam and Eve till mature, when they bore
fruit. But enough.-Lelter in atlanta Con-

monors to the Federal Dead.

The National Cemetery on the Williams
burg road was visited yesterday BY IN I'M
mense crowd Consisting for the. most part
of colored persons) in compliance with an
order of the Grand Army Of the Republic
setting apart that day for the decoration Of
the graves of the Federal soldiers who fell
In the civil war. The weather was propt-
tious during the forenoon, and many graves
having been strewn. with flowers, the ceme-
terry presented a most attractive appear
anee. The walks were thronaed with men,
women, and children, and large crowd
gathered about the central arbor, spent
several hours in singing, making the air
ring with religious and patriotic airs.
The event of the day was an Grafton by
Rev. r. A. Miller, pastor of the Northern
Methodist Church. It was happily con-
ceived, well written, aud delivered with
an earnestness that told powerfully upon
the large audience. He paid glowing tri-
butte to the Union dead, and besought his
hearers never to forget to honor those who
freely shed their hearts lfe-blood to up
hold the Stars and Stripes and to give four
million slaves their freedom.
Early in the afternoon there was fall of
rain, which caused many to return to their
homes much earlier than they otherwise
would, and the omnibuses, hacks, and w2g-
ons at the gate were not numerous enough
to supply the demand for vehicles. Hun
dreds, however, continued to linser among
the tombs until Dightfall. =:
We had almost forgotten to state that
three colored volunteer companies marched
to the cemetery, and attracted considerable
attention. They were the Attucks Guard,
the Richmond Zouaves, and the Lincoln
Union Mounted Guards. The first and
second-named companies presented very
good appearance The Last had very few
men on parade, and spent but short time
at the cemetery. - - -A
