NEWS SUMMARY.

The ravages of the cholera are reported very
serious in Russia.
Secretary Delano made very long and able
speech at Sandusky, Ohio, on the oath.
Several benevolent persons in New Yorkfare
organizing for the relief of the Persians.
At the National Educational Convention at
ST. Louis, held on the 23d, Gen. John Eaton,
Jr., read an essay on Superior Instruction in
relation to Universal Education"
Nineteen speeches were delivered by Repub-
licans in Ohio on the night of the 23d, the open
ing of the campaign. The Cincinnati CONNER
ciaL published six of them the next morning.
The Cincinnati Commercial has figured that
the national debt is being reduced at the rate of
1882 per hour 81, ID per minute, 81 per second
and that it has decreased $l0,57 for every per-
son in the nation.
The Union war veterans have serenaded the
Washington Chronicle, in commentator of the
demand that paper is earnestly making that
soldiers should have the first chance at lucrative
positions in the Departments.
The New York Times, illustrating the frauds
of Tammany, says it can name q man who has
said, Il go up to headquarters on the first of
every month and get hundred dollars, but
hold no Office and do no work.
A Paris correspondent of the New York Her

high. The structure is of marble, which
belonging to the church estate, cost 1t
nothing; but the mere workmanship thus
far expended cost over a hundred millions
of dollars. Looking at these vast ecclesi-
astical splendors and the condition OF Italy,
is it too much to characterize all such ex-
penditures as follies, and wicked? We do
not refer to the extravaganza of Italy as
probable in America, where the good sense
of our people would not tolerate such folly
as long as there were poor to relieve, igno-
rant to educate, misery in its hundred
forms to alleviate, or practical good to en-
courage, but rather to show what is posi-
bic, in qualified form at least, where sects
have ambition and great liberal people
to prey upon. We can only realize the
cost of such follies by approaching the re-
suits they have produced elsewhere. The
facts we have given tend at least 10 show
the wisdom of those practical notions
which as people we entertain and against
which we occasionally hear bitter protests.
If our churches are plain and our arts
undeveloped, our people are at least happy
and prosperous. If we are an intensely
practical people, we have good results to
show for our faith, and comparing our
contented population with the wretched
princeliness of Italy, we can only say give
us comfortable, plain churches, and arts
undeveloped, if so you please to call it,
rather than Aladdin's palaces" where
masters of art flourish, but where misery
goes hand in hand with splendor.
