ENGLAND AND GENEvA.-The action of
Chief Justice Cockburn in not signing the &C.
neva Arbitration, is severely commented on in
England. Mr.. Lowe, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, has been among the shipbuilders, and
at Glasgow spoke in condemnation of the Chief
Justice, both for disagreeing with the residue of
the Board and for publishing an irritating
opinion, which is calculated to open up again
the international question settled by the Gene
va Arbitrators., Mr.. Lowe proclaims it to be
the duty ofiEngland to accept the award loyal
ly. He thinks the Americans have come out
of the Arbitration irritated-an opinion not
warranted by the facts. Certainly there is
nothing in the tone of the press beyond the
mere political turn which is given to the mat
ter, to justify the statement of the Chancellor
The money award made is well up to all we
had claimed, and the principles settled are in
accord with the desires of the nation. The en-
tire negotiation, though protracted, has con-
stantly grown into better understanding and
the grand result in indicating the policy and
the power of Arbitration as superior to any set

THE great railroad work now in course of con-

fairly rank among the wonders of the world
when it is completed. The Andes mountains
are being pierced through and through by a
tunnel which will be three thousand feet in
length, and fifteen thousand feet above the lev
el of the sea. The work is progressing with ex-
traordinary rapidity, though many lives are lost
among the foreign workmen, owing to the de-
teriorating effects of the climate and the rari-
fed atmosphere of that elevated region The
coolie Indians are the only human beings en-

decimetre is tenth and centimetre Is

THE Bangor Wing of Saturday contains
an article which sharply criticises the man
agement of the State Fair and will mos
likely lead to a full if not warm presentation
of both sides of the case The Wing thinks
that the trustees have showed a marked lacl
of ability to run so much of machine ant
intimates that the appearances indicate tina
the exhibition has been run in the interes
of a few rather than with view to extend it,
advantages to the whole State. 1t is quite
likely that the decided article OF the Wing
will bring about discussion that will result
in as much good as the State Fair itself
While we do not condemn or commend the
general management of the trustees, we ven

PETER CARTWRIGHT whose death at his home
in Illinois has been announced, has been identi-
fled with the history of the Methodist Church
In this country since very early age, and hi.
missionary labors were begun when the region
beyond the Cumberland Mountains was mere
wilderness Mr.. Cartwright, in his early days,
was genuine representative of theImuscular
and representative Christian, and many are the
anecdotes related in connection with camp
meeting experience among the rougher frontier
population with whom he labored. Most of his
life has been spent in Tennessee and Illinois,
and his eloquence is, therefore, little known
among eastern Methodists In the West, how
ever it fingers like the stra' of a trumpet, and
it will be long before his name will be forgot

timated that he had received into the Church

A Doc STonY.-To the Press, published at
Salem, Washington County, New York, is to
be credited this story of adog: Last Satur-
day night, as James Donnelly was coming up
the railroad track followed by his dog the mid
night train came along. The dog, instead of
leaving the track as a prudent and sagacious
dog would have done, turned around and faced
the coming train and began barking at it. The
train came rushing on, and though Donnelly
called his dog, it maintained its position, and
the result was that the train run over it, divid-
ing its body into equal parts. The strangest
part is yet to be told. The train passed on,
and Donnelly called the dog, and the part that
had the head on crawled toward him ten feet,
the other half remaining on the track"

THE JEsUITs IN THE UNITED STATKs-Ger-
MANY has expelled the Jesuits. Their history
in that country, as it has been in all others,
has been one of secret political intrigue in fa-
yor of the authority of the Pope, and superior to
and against that of the national government
The peace and safety, therefore, of the nation
required their overthrow Fortunately for Ger
many Bismarck was equal to the hour, and the
edict for expulsion was prepared and signed by
the king and boldly issued. 1t will be carried
out
MANY of the Jesuit chiefs are already in this
country. and other thousands are coming. Mil
lions of dollars raised here ostensibly for the
'relief of the suffering Pope will constitute
the "sinews of demonstration in securing their
migration, establishment and political power
in the United States. The immense contribu-
tions of the Roman Catholics of other nations
will be used for the same purpose. As an in
stance of the work now going forward, we quote
the following note from Father Chiniquy of the
Evangelist:
sOne of them, the precursor of many others,
has made his appearance in our midst lately,
we supposed at Kankakee, LII, and after hav-
ing purchased 100 acres of land near railroad
depot, he has contracted for 100000 bricks to
begin the building of college which will cost
S15O. 900. He does not deny that the Church of
Rome is determined to regain her lost ground
here at any cost. She has already expended
nearly 5000 900 on nunnerieS aud Jesuit Col
leges in this colony and vicinity, and she is
ready to e1pend still more to obtain her object.
The question will ere long be forced upon us
with an emphasis never before known ameng
us, sShall Rome intolerant, corrupt and cor
rupting as ever, bear rule among Americans
Free Protestant American citizens how shall
this question be answered?-N Y Christian
AdU0cdte.
CHURCH AND STATE IN GERMANY-THE DI.
RECT IssUE.-Some time ago the Bishop Of
Ermeland deposed one of his priests because he
refused to accept the DEGREES of the late Vati
can Council. The Prussian government re-
tanned the priest in Office and secured to him
his emoluments. Since that time the BishoI
has been at war with the government By let
ter and by lecture he. has openly proclaimed
that the Church is superior to the State, ant
that the State has no right to interfere with the
Church or with the emoluments of the clergy
Bismarck thinks differently, and has been anx
ious to prosecute. Emperor William has beer
anxious to concliate. At last the Emperor ha
consented that matters must be brought to
direct issue, and proceedings are to be institut
ed forthwith against the Bishop of Ermeland
1t is not difficult to see how this matter mus
end. In North Germany the Church will no
be allowed to override the State.
