John stuart Min on sunday Law

From the Chicago Tripune.
Certain well meaning persons in Eng
land have just made determined effort
to carry Sabbatarian law through the
House of Commons, and have igno-
miniously failed. The i'll judged at
tempt has given fresh force to the de-
mands against sectarian legislation.
John Stuart Mill has published some
wise utterances on the subject, which
are being widely circulated. He argues
that rest of one dag IN seven is de-
manded by human nature; that it is,
therefore, proper for society to enforce,
by law, cessation Of the great indus
tries on that day; but that this right does
not extend TO a supervision of the recre-
ations of the day. He says: "The only
ground on which restrictions on Sunday
amusements can be defended must be
that they are religiously wrong; a mo-
tive of legislation which can never be
too earnestly protested against De-
Drum injuri9, Dis curiG. 1t remains
to be proved that society or its officers
holds commission from On High to
avenge any supposed ofense to Omnipo-
tence which is not also wrong to our
fellow.creatures The notion that it is
one mans duty that another should be
religious was the foundation of all the
religious prosecutions ever perpetrated,
and If admitted, would fully justify them.
Though the feeling which breaks out in
repeated attempts to stop railway travel
ing on Sunday, in the resistance to the
opening of museums, and the like, has
not the cruelty of the old prosecutors,
the state of mind indicated By it is fun
damentally the same. 1t is determi-
nation not to tolerate others in doing
what is permitted by their religion, be-
cause it is not permitted by the persecu-
tors religion" These are wise words
fitly spoken. Our grandchildren will
wonder, however, that there was need OF
any words to declare such self-evident
truths

The Beauregard domain, consisting of
about three hundred and fifty acres, and
situated some two and half miles from
Versailles, is to be sold at public auction
some time this month. 1t is a very fine
place, and was the property Of the son
of Miss Howard, to whom Louis Napo-
leon gave it in return for services render
ed to him by her after his escape from
Ham. Miss Howard was much attached
TO Napoleon, spent quite a fortune on
him in fnrtherance of his schemes, and
at one time it was commonly reported
that the two we're to be married, as, per-
haps, they would have been had not the
Countess de Montijo appeared on the
scene. Although the Emperor would
not marry her, he yet was grateful fer
her good Offices, purchased Beauregard
with its splendid chateau, warrens, and
plantations, and presented it to her with
the title Of Countess de Beauregard.
Her son was made Count de Beauregard.
The lady died some years before the fall
Of the second empire.

One would suppose that the position
of public executioHer was one of which
its occupant would be so far from proud
that he would feel like saying little or
nothing about it. The position is hon
orable enough, seeing that it is useful,
but yet there are some honorble offices
to hold, which are by no means glorious
or agreeable. 1t is shocking to ordinary
minds to have the appurtenances of
violent death forced upon it, even though
the object in view is the settlement Of
the rival claims of two executioners.
Just now in Europe such scene is en-
acted, the rivals being Herr Rudorf, of
Prussia, and II. Heidenrix, of France,
who recently published pamphlet
showing, or trying to show, that his sys-
tenn of executing was preferable to all
others. Herr Rudorf denies all the as
sertiuns of his rival, and holds that the
Prussian system is more humane than
the French, and that garroting is better
than hanging or guillotining. A reply
may be forthcoming in which criminals
will take great because personal in
terest

sral Laws OF 1872, and that tho dis.
trict must be organized prior 10 the
first day OF August OF tho year in
which the organization is attempted,
and that when such organization is
thus completed, all taxes levied by
the Board oil Directors OF the .llstric.
townships, are void. This, OF tcoursc.
includes schoolhouse,a as we'll as other
taxes.
