port Of Germany and Russia. The Catholic
clergy have always refused to accept the Gre
gorianlC alandar the syllabus and the dogma of
infallibility and the pope will certainly not
confirm the appointment of the new patriarch
or that of the clergy ordained by him, so that
there is every prospect of complete separation
of the Armenian from the Roman Catholic
Church.
Ruskin says that so utter is the infidelity of
Europe that no statesman of England or France
would dare, in defending measure before Par
lament or the Corps Legislatf to quote the
Word of God to support his position.
The New York Herald, while speaking of
the usual clerical vacations, has concluded that
more piety and devotion is to be found among
the Catholic clergy than with their Protestant
brethren.
The Presbytery of Niagara, n. Y, raise a
warning voice against such as the purchase of
prize PACKAGES the use of distilled or ferment-
ed beverages; the dissertation of the Lord s
Day by visiting or secular reading; participant
ing in the management of fairs in which horse
racing and gambling becomes an element; rent
ing rooms for the sale of intoxicating drinks or
billiard and card playing; attending theatres,
balls, and such demoralizing amusements"
The Pope is said to have signed bill regu-
latng the action of the future cOnclave for the
election of his successor. Ordinarily nine days
are allowed to elapse between the death of one
Pontiff and the election of the next. This rule
is now annulled by Plus, so as to allow Bis
marck no opportunity to interfere.
A correspondent of the Catholic Rerieao,
writing Trombone, says that the number of
English and American converts to Catholicism
in that city this year is twenty-three, six of
them being young men of good family and
high education E7.

Of the twenty-seven Republican papers in
Missouri which went with Gratz Brown and
Schurz for State Reform, all but one (Schurz's
paper) are out-and-out for Grant. ~
A "Greeley ratification meeting' was held

In Chicago, $50 Democrats have formed a

thirty thousand Democrats in this State who

AMONG the largest accessions that the Re
publican party of Maine viii receive during
the present canvass will be those shipbuilders
who have at times acted with the Democratic
party. The fact that our Republican Con-
gressmen have, by their united efforts, at
length succeeded in obtaining the passage OF
an act which offers to shipbuilders substantial
encouragement, will bring back all whom
disbursement has driven into the opposition
ranks. This movement will be greatly accel-
Grated by the knowledge of the fact that the
relief would have come much sooner, and
would have been much more ample, had it
not been for the opposition of that party
whose rebellion first crippled American COM
merce. 1t would be curious spectacle to
see Maine shipbuilder, whose vote is gov
erned by his supposed interest, acting with
S. S. Cox and his Democratic associates, who
have again and again thwarted Lynch and
Hale by insisting that the bills introduced by
those gentlemen for the relief of commerce
should be so amended as to admit British
vessels to American registry! In other words,
it would be curious spectacle to see Maine
shipbuilder voting against the party that would
encourage American, and with the party that
would encourage British commerce.!
