ARCHBISHOP DARBoY. = George
Darboy, archbishop Of Paris, who has
been sacrificed to the rage Of the Paris
mob, was prelate of great eminence
in the Roman Catholic church. He
was born in 1913, and after completing
his studies at the Langres seminary
was ordained in 1886. He advanced
from the position of curate TO several
positions of ecclesiastical distinction,
and was appointed Bishop of Nancy in
1858. -Four years later he was trans
ferred to the Archiepiscopal See Of
Paris. During his administration he
Observed moderate and conciliatory
policy. He was the author of numer
Gus works. The Imprisonment which
terminated by his death commenced
on the 9Th ult., when he was seized as
a hostage by til: Communists. In
1913 another archbishop, of Paris, was
killed during the fighting at the barri
cades, and still later one was assassina-
ted in church.

SHERMAN FOR PREsIDgNT.-Last
week, in New York, the Old Friends.
formerly members of the political or
ganizatlon known as the New York
Democracy, had their annual dinner at
st. Clair House, Broadway. A num-
Der of gentlemen of prominence in the
Tammany ring were present. MIR.
John McKeon delivered an ad dress on
the prospects of the Democracy in the
coming Presidential election. The
speaker admitted that the democracy
had difficult task to perform in order
to succeed. There is one name, how
ever, which cam secure triumph, and
that is Gen. Sherman. With Gen.
Sherman for President and Francis
Herman for Vice President, no doubt
was entertained of victory. We fancy
we see the hot headed members of the
democracy in the south supporting
General Sherman. Their right hand
would wither before they would do it.

the presidency. Very like whale

Here is the best description of an
effieminate man we ever read: He is
a cross between a root beer and a GIN
ger pop with the cork left out. He is
a kitten in pantalettes-a sick monkey
with blonde moustache-a paper kite
in a dead calm. He is as harmless as
a cents worth Of spruce gum, and as
useless as shirt button without hole.
He is as lazy as bread pill, and has
no more than last years grasshopper.
He goes through life on tiptoes, and
dies like cologne water split over the
ground.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE Some weeks
since Horace Greedy, of the New York
Tribune, committed himself, in a letter
to-a Kansas politician, to an. implied
promise that he would run for Pres
dent if the duty should be pressed
upon him by the country. From this
starting point the~idea of his becoming
a candidate has been taken up by the
press and people IN different parts Of
the country, and is treated by many
with seriousness, while others are dis
posed to look upon it as a good joke.

NEW DEPARTURE"


The Ohio Democratic Convention in
session at Columbus on Thursday of last
week nominated Geo. w. McCook for
Governor, and passed series of resolu-
tlons which we suppose are to become the
chief corner stone of the New Depart
ure party. This platform contains
fourteen resolutions the pith Of the
platform lies in its ratification of the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, by which the Democracy
mean to have it understood that they
are willing to sustain, as accomplished
facts, the nancipation OF the slaves,
and negro suffrage, two principles IN
our national policy that have heretofore
met their seyerest condemnation and
censure, and the opposition to which has
been tie principal points at issue be-
tween them and the Republican party
ever since their PRONUNCIATION.
In this great leaving inn of the De
aocracy they virtually admit that they
are willing to wear the coat the Repub
licans have had on, and take this ,aeth-
of indorsing the acts of that party in
years past. And now after indorslng
and vindicating to the fullest extent
the sound policy and wise craftsmanship
o. the Republican party, the Democrat
ic party has the audaeity to come be-
fore the country and ask for lease
of power over the country,
by virtue of becoming so near right as
to make the views of the Republicans
on all the great questions of the day
their own. Democrats will find
before long that this will not prove
the winning card" but on the con-
trary is such sign Of weakness that
many prominent ones in their own or
ganization will have neither part nor
lot In this great " departure" from al
the principles they have so long held sa-
cred aud fought for with such tenacity
of purpose.

A fire occurred yesterday in two
story frame cottage on Cornell street,
owned by B. f. j. Reed. The citi-
zens turned out en- naasse, but their eff
forts were uavailing, for lack of prop
er organization, and but for the timely
introduction, by N. B. Dodson, of a
Babcock Extinguisher, the destruction
of this property, with other in the vi
cinity, must have eventually resulted,
instead of merely nominal loss. 1t
required but three minutes, however,
after the Babcock arrived, to extin-
guish the flames, which somewhat as
tonished the spectators, who now ask
their authorities to supply the town
with those useful machines. - Chicago

DEPosED FROM THE MINISTRY
On Friday last Bishop Whitehouse, of
Illinois, exercised the extreme limit of
his diocesan authority in the Cheney
ease, by deposing the RevsC. e. Cheney
from the ministry in the Episcopal
Church. This was the first act of this
kind in the long episcopate OF Bishop
Whitehouse. The effect of this fnal
sentence is to place Mr.. Cheney out
side of the regular Episcopal organi-
zation.

The lack of unanimity among the
Democracy relative to the line of po-
litical policy to be adopted, is clearly
indicated by the course pursued by the
Maryland Democratic convention. 1t
refused to make any utterance relative
to political questions, but authorized
its executive committee to do so at
some future time should it be found de-
sirable. This shows very conclusiyely
that the Maryland Democracy are not
ready to stand On the platform of the
''new departure" but will do so if at
some future date it shall seem popular.
This is the first break on the part of an
entire State against new policy, and
! doubtless foreshadows non-committal
policy on the part of others, This is
clearly indicative of weaknes,-as no
| declaration is worse than to take any
position at all.

WAITING FOR AN UPPORTUNITY.-
When the Augusta ga Constitution
alist sees head (of a nail) it knows
enough to hit it. In recent issue it
says:
at is not with the political convic-
tions of Messrs. Davis and Stephens
and Toombs the Southern people find
fault. The preponderance of those
convictions are as much now as ever
with them. The State rights views of
the Southern people are as decided now
as ever. But it is as to the policy of
proclaiming and insisting on those views
ON the one side, or on the other waiv-
ing their discussion and holding them
in abeyance until they can receive a
fair and impartial hearing before the
American people, that the former COM
rades in arms and in council of the great
Southern leaders now stand divided"
Translated into brief, plain language,
this means that until the Democratic
party can control the Government it is
not wise to say that it will be control
led in the interests of Mcssrs. Davis,
Stephens and Toombs, and these gentle
men are only hindering the realization
of their own hopes by giving utterance
to them.

The Pittsburg Gazette says: "Now
is the season of their discomfort. The
Democracy have discovered that the
State of Pennsylvania is sure to award
a heavy Republican majority next Oc-
tobcr, and thus seal and secure the re-
election of President Grant in 1872.
Already ominous and mysterious out
givings are heard that Rio Java Wallace
is not so much interested in carrying
the State as he is to lay the ropes to
secure his own political advancement
in the future We care not how much
our good Democratic friends may fight
in their own camp, for we are as sure
that brilliant triumph awaits our own
party next October as the coming of
that month itself But while We par
take of the very universal and sanguine
feeling of safety and certainty of an
easy victory at the ballot box, We still
feel that good deal Of work is neces-
sary in order to swell the majority of
the State to such figures as will carry
terror and CONSERVATION into the ranks
of the opposition everywhere through
out the Union. Let us work. The
ele ton is pregnant with Importance.
The people interested most in the pro
gress Of the land look to Pennsylvania
to do her duty. Seldom has our Com
monwealth failed to respond to the be-
hests Of the loyal and patriotic people,
and at the coming election, more than
at any for years past, is the importance
of doing right most imperative. We
promise. hoping for the liberal cooper
alton Of the Republicans everywhere in
the State, to give an overwhelming en-
dorsement to the present National Ad-
ministration next October, and to sound
once more to the political world the
patent truth, that Gas Pennsylvania

4 bill has passed the Brazilian Sen
ate, authorizing a loan of $50, 900
and imposing tax on imports of four
per cent. ad valorem. France has al
so placed an additional tariff on i'm
ported goods, and both have done so
to help build up their manufactures by
taxing those of other nations. This
is the true policy; build up our own
workshops, and pay out our wages to
our own workmen; thus we will in
crease our own wealth and population,
and consequently the demand for agri-
cultural products.
