to a Gratz Brown, or Trumbull, or Da-

pressing the Southern Confederacy, but
who still npholds the grand essentials
of individual and civil liberty" There
is breeze that way, beyond a doubt.

1t is reported that Horace Greeley
has got into a muss with Texas editor.
1t appears that in an agricultural essay
on tobacco, Mr.. Greeley asserts that fine
cut will not ripen well unless the tin
foil is stripped from the growing buds
early in the spring, and that plug to-
bacco ought to be knocked off the trees
with clubs instead of being picked by
hand. This the Texas editor said was
nonsense, and Mr. Greeley challenged

IL is said that the BaVarian Minister
of Worship has announced that not only
will all Bayarians who reject the doctrine
Of Papal inlallibility be protected in
their religious and civil rights by the
State, but that the King and his council
are strongly in favor of the separation
of Church and State. Bavaria has al
ways been regarded as oneof the most
thoroughly Catholic countries in Europe
and should it take an attitude Of such
open hostility to the Papal See as is
foreshadowed by this announcement the
effect upon the Catholic Church through
out the world must be very great.

the snow falling to the depth of three

Greeley Oufd0na.

n Some hard tales have been told Of the i'll
/, legibility of Mr.. Greeley 3 manuscript, but
the following beats it, decidedly. A re-
porter who interviewed Murat Halstead,
recently, gives the following account of a
portion of the conversation: -es
Reporter--"sIf you would not. think it

as so many ultruthful stories have been

no objection to giving you the correct ver-
sion of the affair, The challenge was sent,
Tut Mclean let Bloss, the assistant editor
of the Enquirer, write it for him. Now
Bloss. or BIossy as he is called for short
ness. ys-ites such an infamously bad hand
that there are only two men in this coun-
try who can read his manuscript, and
neither of these is Bloss. The note, in an
E,aouirer envelope, was left in the count
ing-room. where nobody could make any
thing either Of the address or the contents.
So it was sent up stairs to the composing
room and put into the hands of one of our
oldest compositors, who is considered an
expert i'm the art of deciphering illegible
manuscript. This man, who will never
acknowledge himself beat, after due de-
liberation, pronounced it TO be an adver-
tisement of a cheese factory. for sale some
where in Lorain county, with an order to
insert it every other day for two weeks and
charge the bill to the Enquirer. This COM
position set up the advertisement from
Blossy's manuscript, and no one suspected
but it was all right until thesend of the
month, when the bill for its insertion was
sent to the Enquirer office and repudiated.
An investigation brought out the true facts
of the case, but of course it would have
been the hight of absurdity to take any
notice of challenge which had been pub
lished for two weeks rs an advertisement
