FOR THE JOURNAL.

1t has been an old and true saying that no
enterprise could live in Camden. Where IS
the Wateree Brass Band that was to have
done so much good to our town., 1t seems
that they have hung their harps on the
the weeping willows. Now, Mr.. Editor, it
does seem strange that aparty of young men
should attempt TO raise band, by going
around to the citizens with subscription
list, and after raising the necessary funds
with what they contributed themselves, pro-
cure sot of instruments; take the pains to
learn, 60 to the expense of employing a
teacher, give several concerts, and ina few
short months blow thepseives out of hear
ing, for no one hears asm now. John Chi
naman would say. "Big heap, plenty horns,
but no tooters" Is it just to the parties
who contributed to the band and the men,
bers themselves, to let this matter drop and
the good enterprise fall through? We all
like to hear good music, but are sadly dis
appointed with our band, for we never hear
them now. We will have to send for hand
organ, as it only'takcs one person to grind
music, and 10 have band of this size we
could always have quorum. We could
hire one if we could not get one otherwise.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we will come down to fine
points. Ifthe Wateree Brass Band do not care
to keep up its organization, let them turn
over the instruments to parties who will
We believe there could be found in Camden
Young men who would take pride in an en-:
tcrprise of this kind Let the band think
over the matter Let us have a brass band.

HAVE You SEEN HER "A lady who
for the last five years has been leader of
fashion in New York, and who may be seen
twice week in her elegant caleche driving
span of superb ponies in Central Park: has
recently stated in the select circle to which
she belongs, that the only article in existence
which imparts beauty and lustre to the COM
plexion without ultimately impairing the
texture of the skin, and causing it to collapse
and wrinkle, is HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM.
The name of the distinguished member of
the beau monde who made this declaration
cannot. be given. but it may be mentioned
en- passant that she has spent several years
of her life in Europe, and is familiar with
all the arts and preparations employed by
the court beauties of the old world to en-
nance their charms.

GERMANY AND RoME.-A very signif-
can't result has Just been obtained in the
Prussian Diet. On Thursday, in the Lower
House of the Prussian Diet, motion. which
had for its object the admission Of members
of ecclesiastical orders as teachers of the
public schools, was rejected by an overwhelm-
ing vote, the vote standing 242 to 80. The
motion was made by certain Herr Mallinc-
krot and the speech on the government side
was made by Herr Falk. Falk's speech is
said to have been brilliant Its real force,
however, lay in the4hct that, in speaking for
the government, he could say that the gov
ernment was determined to wage war with
the influence of Rome. We are not disposed
to lay too much stress upon this vote, for all
the world knows that Prussia, since the Re-
formation, has been Protestant nation
and as the motion was really intended to open;
the doors of the public schools to the Jesuts,
no other result could have been looked for.
The real fight between the Imperial govern
ment and Rome must be fought in the lin
perial Parliament when South as we'll as
North Germany is represented. South Ger
mauy has never abandoned the ancient
Church, and although Bismarck is deter
mined man and bound to win if success lies
within the region of the possible, it is not at
all improbable that his severe nti-Romsh
policy may yet undo much of the work which
was accomplished at Sedan. The one living
barrier to the accomplishment of German
unity and the consolidation of the Empire is
the Catholicism of the South. It is not i'm
possible that patriotism may prove stronger
than religion but we cannot help thinking
that Bismarck makes mistake in bringing
the Catholics to bay The policy of concili-
alton would have been wiser and perhaps more
successful.-HeraM.
