The State Church in England is bound to go.
The Irish disestablishment has given an impe-
tus to the agitation for disestablishment in
the sister island which car nnot long be resisted,
especially as the proposition involves the dis
missal of horde of lazy ecclesiastical blood
suckers, and the saving of from fifteen to twenty
millions of dollars a year to the national treas
ury. Thus, step by step, England is on the
road to the divine rights" of the people, and
no hedging by Her Maiesty's government on
the Alabama claims will serve to arrest this
revolutionary movement-N. Y. Herald.

Attention Lawyers.
WITHOUT PRECEDENT. +"

A lawyer actually sent US check for double
the am punt of his bill. AS the lawyers gen
orally owe us SO much, we placed the surplus
to bis credit, and advised him that we awaited
further orders'-of publication. He sent one
soon, and now says it is probably the first
authentic Instance of the prepayment OF an
order of publication that has occurred In the
history of the race of map. lie is mistaken.
Some lawyers and some clerks have accompa
MED the orders with the cash to pay for publ
cation thereof.
However, we wish all our customers were
like our correspondent. who always pays
promptly, and we call the case to express graf.
iication that some, at least, appreciate and
comply with our reasonable request, that the
burden of hundreds OF dollars of publication
fees should not fall upon US alone. but be dl-
vided among those clients and lawyers who are
benefited thereby. As we said before,--as
we'll hire ladder, or get timber, and decline
to pay for them, until you built your house
and sold it,-as to keep publishers out OF mon
ey (due for the first step in the case) until the
suit is decided and property sold. ;,
| Prepayment, of course, is best tor all par
ties, when convenient; but payment on deliv
ery of certificate of publication saves trouble
| Delay causes loss, sometimes, or dlssatlsfac
| ton, &c.
We are grateful, of course, for all orders sen
us, and trust for more general compliance
when possible, with our reasonable suggestions

The Mobile Board of Trade is discussing the
feasibility of introducing the culture Of tea into
Alabama. It has been demonstrated that tea
can be raised at small cost. The experiment
has been made with gratifying success in Flori-
da, where last year four qualities were raised,
and the amount produced was very encourag-
ing to the planters.

Il is believed in diplomatic circles in Paris
that the British Government will at length con-
cede the competency Of the Geneva Arbitra-
ton to take indirect claims under considera-
ton. 1t is expected that the reply of the
United States Government will be as concilia-
tory in tone as was the note from Lord Gran
vile.

Cool, VERY.-There has been, as an Indian
said, ''heap cold weather this winter. but
the coolest thing of the season is the resolve
of State Convention of the faction dominant
in South Carolina, in these words:
"Resolved, By the Union Republican party
of the State of South Carolina, In convention
assembled, that we endorse the administra-
ton of President U. s. Grant, in its wise and
successful policy, which has reduced the ma
tional debt, while lessening the public taxes,
and at the same time preserved full faith with
the public creditors. y
| The New York Tribune remarks that, "cou-
sidering how these rascals have sold themselves
| to measureless iniamy over and over and over
by stealing their poor State, poorer than ever
she was before, quadrupling her expenses,
doubling her debt and treb.ing her taxes, this
4 resolve strikes US as the Chimborazo of impos-
lures and villainy."

A Dream Verified,

The jamestown (lenn.) Journal, in detail
ing the death of brakeman named Garfield,
on railroad at Union, says: He vas to have
been married to young lady of that town in
about two months. On the 10th instant, when
the train passed jamestown on its way West,
the young lady saw him, and had some conver-
sation with him, aud that evening was in un-
usually light spirits. The next morning at the
breakfast table her appearance was so much
the reverse of the evening previous that it at
tracted the attention of her mother, who asked
her the cause of her apparent trouble. The
young lady thereupon related to her mother
that she had dreamed that her lover had fallen
under the cars and had been so seriously injur-
ed that he had died in about two hours. She
told the circumstances as she had seen 10 her
dream, how he had fallen and the car wheels
had terribly crushed and mangled his left leg
and his left arm, and hat he had lived in
great agony for about two hours. Her story
was generally discredited by her mother,
who endeavored to persuade her that there was
nothing In a dream, but to no purpose-she
could not drive it from her mind. About noon
sister of the young man who had met SO
terrible death, came to the house of the young
lady and said she had bad news for her. She
then related the circumstances of her brother 8
death, corresponding in detail with the dream
as told by the young lady some hours before.

The DAIRYING BUSINESS. As remarka-
BILE evidence of the growth of the dairying in
terest in this country, it is stated that in 1886
not one farmer in twenty was a dairy man in
teen out of twenty of the entire farming pop
ulation of the country had gone into the busi-
ness, and to- day ninety-nine out of each hun
dred are engaged in it. But the mania for
dairying did not stop there. 1t spread to ad-
joining counties and States. and hence it is that
we have so much of what is known as Goshen"
butter. which finds its way into our markets.
A large proportion of this so-caed Goshen"
article is made anywhere else than the locality
from which it purports to come, In this con-
nection it may be interesting to some to learn
that the number of pounds of butter made in
the United States in 1850 was 3l3, 345, BOG; in
1860, 400, O,509 S54; and in 1870 the figures
reached &C. 536, ,46S pounds. Nearly one-sixth
of this immense oleaRinous product was made
10 the State of New York
