Plus the Ninth, as he grows older, is not
finding that the world is coming round. to his
way of thinking. He feels his end approach
ing and he is desirous to make all proper
arrangements for his successor. A meeting of
the Cardinals he deems desirable; but Rome
being as it is, and Italy being in the hands of
ruler who is hereto, the Holy Father wishes
to make his last will and testament some
where out of the Eternal City. He cannot
get over the loss Of his temporalities. Should
the Holy Father succeed in obtaining the con-
sent Of all the great Powers who are at all
interested in the affairs of the Papacy to
meeting of the Cardinals in France, and should
the Cardinals meet in France, as we are
told to-day that they will, it will not
be so much of novelty as some people
imagine. Popes have lived in France and
Popes have been elected outside of Italy.
The Holy Father, it seems, has
pronounced another allocution. The allocu-
tion does not show that he has in any essen
tial particular changed his mind. He recog-
nizes the bishops appointed by the Italian
government. This he could not help without
encouraging schism. But he will not accept
Italy's guarantees" and be protests against
the invasion Of the Holy See. He is hard
also on Dollinger and all his followers. In
spite Of all his troubles, which day after day
are multiplying, the good old Pope believes in
the Master, in himself, in infalIibility and in
the Vatican Council. The Holy Father may
well be anxious about the Conclave, for the
next Pope is bound TO have trouble.

His View Of Questions Affecting Public
PrOsDerify.

Secretary Boutwell, in the Lecture Room
His Wow of Questions Affecting Public
Prosperity.
Our Secretary Of the Treasury is ambitious,
evidently, to enlighten the public on questions
Of national finance and political economy, for
he has gone into the lecturing business with
that object in view. There is no reason why
q Cabinet officer should not lecture as well as
any other person, if he be capable and un-
derstands his subject though many may
think Mr.. Boutwell, might find enough to do
in managing the Treasury Department. How
ever, he is from New England, where lectur-
ing has become q mania and the measure of
ones intellectual status. Mr.. Boutwell, could
have made better party political speech than
o lecture on financial and economical ques-
tons. He has much to learn on these. How
ever, in the lecture he delivered at Boston on
Thursday and again in this city Friday even
ing on present Questions Affecting Public
Prosperity" he expressed some good ideas, as
well as some favoring policy which is neither
useful nor practicable.
Mr.. Boutwell, sticks to his notion of raising
a large revenue in order to pay of the national
debt. He is opposed to postponing the pay
ment, and attacks capitalists for endeavoring
to shrk, as he assumes, their share of this
burden. 1t is not the capitalist alone who
bears the burden of heavy taxation. Indeed,
he feels 1t less than others. 1t is the mass Of
the people-the industrious classes, upon
whom the burden presses most heavily. Nearly
all that they eat, drink, wear or use is taxed.
High prices for everything is the consequence.
The industry Of the nation is shackled, and the
development of our. resources retarded by
burdensome and unnecessary taxation. The
nation has borne crushing weight during the
war and in the adjustment since Of the finances
and the obligations growing out of the wa
which called for immediate settlement. There
Is no necessity to pay now the principal Of the
adjusted or consolidated debt, in order to
establish the credit of the government or to
facilitate specie payments The sinking fund
is sufficient for the present to keep liquidation
going on gradually, and to sustain the idea Of
q final payment of the debt, and that Is all that
should be required Of this generation, which
has borne the brunt and cost Of the war. Mr..
Boutwell's hit at the capitalists arose, proba-
bly,, from his disappointment that they have
not aided him in his funding and financial
schemes. As TO reaching specie payments,
the best policy to pursue is the very opposite
of that which Mr.. Boutwell, advocates. Re-
duction Of taxation to the lowest figure, and,
rs consequence, lower prices and greater in
dustrial development, will bring us to specie
payments sooner than an enormous revenue
raised by oppressive taxes for the pretended
purpose Of paying the debt and keeping the
Treasury full Of Improbable capital.
We gladly endorse all the Secretary says
about regulating the railroads SO as to cheaper
freight and passage, and to prevent this vast
monopoly from overtaxing industry and inter-

nal commerce. His remarks, too, relative to
tne wretched condition of our shipping inter-
ests and the importance of remedying the evil
are good; but unfortunately, he cannot give
up tne taxes on materials which enter into
snipouilding, because this would lead to q
reduction OF other taxes and limit the enor-
nous revenue he wishes to cling to still. He
seems to have an idea of what is needed. but
will not accept the only means possible to
effect the object. The truth is. Mr.. boutwell,
is trammelled by his New England protective
policy He wants high duties and taxes. not
only for the purpose of paying the debt, but
to protect the manufacturers as well. Let
him recommend to Congress at the approach
ing session to take off a hundred millions of
taxes at least, to abolish all duties on shin
building materials and to allow our merchants
to buy ships in the cheapest market, and the
country will soon bound forward in prosperity.
the carrying trade would be restored, our
tonnage would increase, high prices would
come down and we should approximate specie
payments without a financial disturbance,
and more rapidly than by any other policy.

As we predicted last week the Triennial
Convention has taken what is practically q
middle course on the crucial question Of
Ritualism. The pastoral letter Of the bishops,
read in open session on Thursday night, fairly
states this policy. While at the outset
it makes feint of valiantly graphing with
ritualistic practices and the doctrines they are
intended to express, it soon wanders into the
rhetoric Of compromise and conciliation. The
only thing it attacks with vigor is mariolatry
probably because the intercession Of the Vir-
gin and the saints is held only by the smallest
minority Of the followers of Pusey. ''The bare
suggestion" of such doctrine, say the bishops.
sis an indignity to the one only Mediator
and Intercessor," &c. The practice of auricu-
lar confession is also strongly condemned,
although private confession in cases of ex-
ceptional guilt is commended. But that part
of the letter which deals with ''high views"
about transubstantiation is far more uncertain
in tone. For instance, what can be more con-
ciliatory than this passage:-
To argue that the spiritual presence OF our dear
Lord In the holy communion for the nurture OF the
faithful is such presence allows worship to Him
thus and there present IS to say the very least 10 De
wise above that which Is written In Gods Holy Word.
For the objects OF this holy sacrament as therein re-
vealed first, the memorial before God OF the one
sacrifice for forever; and secondly, the strength
ening and refreshing OF the souls Of the faithful.
Moreover, can fail to see that II Is Impossible
for the common mind TO draw the line between the
worship OF such an undenned and mysterious pres
ence and the awful error OF adoring the elements
themselves.
This policy, however, though clearly open
to charges OF cowardice and trimming, has at
least the advantage of keeping the Church
united.

cause for thanksgiving than have residents of
other States; at least this year they have two
opportunities for expressing their gratitude
for the many blessings kind Providence has

giving Day in this State, and yesterday
President Grant issued proclamation appoint
Ing Thursday, November 80, as a day for

TIE FACTS developed in the case Of ex-Con-
gresham Stokes, charged with defrauding the
government in obtaining pay and bounty for
men who never performed military service,
show how easily even the most Infamous jobs
can be pushed through Congress. So plainly
fraudulent was the claim upon which Stokes
procured his funds that Washington agents
would have nothing to do with II; still, with
. little skilful engineering 1t was made to
evade the scrutiny Of the military committees
Of both Houses Of Congress-, and the bill for
its payment passed without much opposition.

The Interior Of the Earth.

We suppose that Professor David
Forbes, Of England, knows rs much
about the interior of the earth as any
man living. In late lecture he in
sisted that all the objections brought
by geology, mathematics, or astrono-
my, against the old theory that the
earth is a molten mass surrounded
by crust about fifty miles thick, are
quite untenable. lie would have us
believe, while the outer layer of mel
ted matter, just below the earth's
crust, may be a kind of CLASSY Stag,
that, not far below this layer, sala
nander bent on discovery would find
the pre- molten metals, of which the
heayiest-gold, platinum, etc-would
be at the earth's centre. Very likely
the mass of the earth is molten iron |;
and this view is quite corroborated
by the fsct that the broken fragments
of some disrupted world, which, in
the form of erolites, are continually
falling from the sky, are often metal
lie iron. But what q tantalixing
thought it is, that just under our feet
arc countless tors of the precious
metals, only waiting for John Whop-
per to let us know the route by
which he passed through to China

GOLDEN WORDS.

Above all other features which
adorn the female character, delicacy
stands foremost within the province
of good taste.
Happy the child who is suffered to
be, and content to be what God meant
it to be--a child, while childhood
lasts.
There are two ways of reaching
truth-by reasoning and by feeling
out. All the profOudest truths are
felt out.
Rosseau says "The empire OF wo-
man is an empire of softness, of ad-
dress, of complacency. Her commands
are caresses, her menaces are tears.
Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is van
ity. and power pageant; but knowl'
edge is ecstatic in enjoyment, peren-
nial in fame, unlimited in space, and
infinite i'm duration.
Politeness i'm business is what
stratagem is in war. 1t gives power
| in weakness; it supplies great def
| ciencies. 1t is invincible..either in at
tack or defense.
Misery assails riches, as lightning
does the highest towers. Or as tree
that is heavily laden with fruit breaks
its own boughs. so does riches des-
troy the virtue of their pOssessor.
He who communicates spiritual
| impulse to human souls, does q divi-
ner work than the builders of empires
or of temples made with hands.
A handsome woman pleases the eye,
good woman pleases the heart; the
one is jewel, the other q treasure.
He who thinks better of his neigh
bors that they deserve, cannot be bad
man, for the standard BY which his
Judgment is formed is the goodness Of
his heart. ...... .--.t....--
With love, the heart becomes . fair
and fertile garden, with sunshine and
warm hues. and exhaling sweet odors
but without it, it is bleak desert
covered with ashes.
Never attempt to do anything that
is not right. Just as sure as you DO,
YOU will getinto trouble. If you even
suspect that anything is wrong, DO II
not till you are sure your suspicious
are groundless.
Appearances are often deceitfal
hence we should not determine hasti'
ly on the unfavorable side.
Men are never placed in such ex'
tremes but that there Is q light to guide

Teach nothing but the truth Of God
because nothing but that will SAVE

Caution holds generous impulses il

Beefstake for Ministers.

Eight hundred or q thousand dol
lars for minister Is only slow way
of killing him, and is the worst style
of homicide. Why do not tho trus-
tees and elders take a mallet or an
axe, and with one blow put him out
ofhis misery? Congregations some
times mourn over dull preaching
when themselves are 10 blame. Give
your minister more beefsteak, and he
will have more fire. Next TO the
divine JUNCTION, the minister needs
blood and he can not make that out
of tough leather. One reason why
the apostle preached so powerfully
was that they had healthy food. Fish
was cheap along Galilee, anu this,
with unboIted bread, gave them
plenty of phosphorus for brain foof.
These early ministers were never in
yited out 10 late suppers, with chick
ell salad and doughnuts. Nobody
ever embroidered slippers for the
big foot of Simon Peter, the fisher
man preacher. Tea parties, with
hot waffles, at ten o'clock at night,
make namby-pamty ministers; but
good hours and substantial diet, that
furnish nitrates for the muscles, and
phosphorates for the brain, and car
donates for the whole frame, prepare
a man for effective work. When the

arteries are the mill-race, and the
