WHEN four hundred clergy
men Of tho Established Church
sign petition and it is present.
ed to the English Parliament ask
ing for the institution Of the econ.
fessional," there can hardly be
any doubt as to tho tendency Of
tho Church Of England towards
Catholicism. That country went
through all the horrors of war to
escape such observancea, and now
it would seem like utter national
i,nbecility TO all that which it pro.
fessed to despise, conquer and
rule.

Minnesota Repuhlicanisn,

minnesota Republicans have
fully determined 10 he not one
whit behind the, stssss Of Maine
and Iowa, and have planted their
banners fully a.. far 10 the ad-
vance. Last week q Eonysutioo
was held at st. Pepl, and the
spirit unaffected, together with
the nominations made were en-
cellent and afforded gu bstautial
proof ofthe deepest feeling against
corruption end dishonesty in all
its forms. In the arst plank II
the platform is the declaration
that the Republican psrty should
be "wise aud jus; enough to correct
its own errors and abuses; After
denouncing all legislation confer
ring vested rights Upon powerful
corporations and monopoliss, the
Convention proceeded to adopt
the following:
"Resolvsd, We heartily an,
pland the active measures of the

'sonal ends, and we demand pure
official conduct and the punish

betrayed tho confidence freely

"ResoIved, When retrenchment
is required to tighten the burden
Of taxation and to continue the
reduction Of the public debt, an
increase OF salaries is unwise.
We condemn, without reserve,

creased pay for services already

were increased should be prompt

The Postal Carr.

Nearly two mon,hs since the
new postal caid was fairly started
in circulation in this country. At
the present time it Rename rs some
thing Of a curiosity and toy in
the minds of the people, although
much of the novelty has been
Lost. Up to this time the card
has been nsed principally as All
advertising medium, and in fact
there has been snch a large de.
mand for them from largebusincss
houses that the cards were entirely
inadequate to supply the want.
One source Of dissatisfaction 10
use Of the cards has arisen from
the fact that mean people have
taken advantage of 1t to crafty
their personal malice in various
ways. This is the principal reas-
on of the feeling of distrust by
which the system.is regarded by
many, and may prevent it from
becoming as popular as it already
Is In some foreign countries.
Another trouble lies in the fact
that people find it extremely
difficult to reconcile Themselves
to the idea of allowing route.
agents, Postoffice clerks, carriers
aud others to become familiar
with a portion of their affairs be
fore they are themselves. But
above all these disadvantages
comes the fact that there's much
time and trouble saved in the use
of the postal cards. Although they
may not be used as means for
transmitting "love letters" or thoee
communications Of a Lusiness
nature where secrecy is essential,
yet there are thousands Of MESA
ges that may very properly be
sent in this manner at a saving Of
tirle, trouble and expense. 1t is
truly to be hoped that an awak-
cned public seniiment with
wholesome statutes may correct
any abuse Of tue new system, and
enable it to have fair trial.

r. r. Embankment Washed Away.

One of those serious land washes
took place on the p. Ft. w. & c. r. w.
near the Summit, miles east of Woos-
ter, on last Saturday morning. There
was an embankment across usually
dry ravine, and under the embankment
culvert for the water to pass. But
the rains made such a flood that the
'culvert had not capacity to let the wa
ter pass off, and it came pouring down
and massed against the embankment as
high as the track, The "a A. NJ, ex-
press train passed over the place, and
half an hour afterwards the embank-
ment gave way like an avalanche, the
earth washing into the fields far below.
The space washed out was 60 feet long,
80 wide and % deep, leaving the rails
and ties hanging like a suspension
bridge. A farmer residing near saw
the breaking away, and went up the
track to warn the approaching AS ex-
press. All that saved that train it was
eight minutes behind time, or it would
have gone down. Gangs of men were
Immediately put to work filling up, and
by evening the trains were again run

[For the REPUBLICAN
Country Girls VS.. City Girls.

We country girls feel that too much
is being said concerning our ignorance,
and take the liberty to write few words
in our defense. We all must acknowl-
edge that no one Is perfect; yet we are
very 10th to believe that ace are less so
than our city girls. Pick up paper,
scan its columns, and your eye is al
most sure to discover a joke on some
"green country YOUTH" These jokes
may all be appreciated by our city
friends and occasionally by country
folks, but zoe probably tire of them first
and beg leave to make slight change
in the programme. Who that has spent
season with us, sat down to our we'll
spread table of roasted fowl, fried ham,
well dressed potatoes, golden butter,
rich cream, etc., etc., all prepared by
our o,on hands-not of our aged moth
er's, nor hired servants-can relish the
constant, ridiculous jokes that are ever
meeting the eye? Certainly no one.
While We rise with the sun and enjoy
the beauties of the morning, and inhale
its invigorating air, which gives us the
bloom of health and causes us to relish
the smoking breakfast which we our
selves, prepare, our hearts are lifted up
with praise and thanksgiving to Him,
who has given US these blessings to en-
joy. Our city girl lies in bed, awaiting
the call of her wearied mother and
with lazy gown she comes to the table,
with scanty appetite, finds fault with
all that is on the table, pushes her chair
from it, goes off to her room, sits down
with novel and becomes so deeply in
terested in it and so curious to kno W
whether Carrie Leslie succeeded in
breaking the engagement of Maud
Wright and Herbert Laundreth, or not,
that the forenoon is gone, by the time
the story is finished, and call is heard
for dinner. With uncombed hair, she
seats herself at the table, horrible
looking spectacle, and with snap and
snarl in reply to everything said to her,
she finally finishes her meal, which has
been SO kindly and carefully prepared
for her, and leaves the table, to pre-
pare for the numerous calls she must
make that afternoon; by three o'clock
she is probably ready and in costly ap-
parel may be seen tripping down street
to join the company of her city friends,
where she spends her time in discussing
fashion, when evening is come ere she
is fully aware of it, and she must re-
turn home to prepare for the grand (?)
Ball, that is to be given at the City Hall
at eight: the hour arrives, she goes and
at late hour returns home, disturbing
the slumbers of her dear parents. She
throws herself down upon her bed,
wearied in both body and brain. The
next day and night are similarly spent;
yes, may add that her whole life is
thus spent and she is hurried off to a
premature grave, through her own folly
and weakness. o, mothers, why allow
this, and o, daughters, why make it
your practice? Will you not admit
that such is too frequently the case?
Therefore deem it an honor rather
than disgrace to sign myself,
"a COUNTRY HoosIER."
