CATHOLIC.
: Some one signing himself "Catholic,,,
in the Chicago Times says: ''The West
ern Cath0lic is owned and controlled bv
parties interested in the whiskey ring,
and calls its attitude on the temperance
question an attempt to degrade a Catholic
journal to the course Of lawlesness.
Several Catholic Temperance Socities are
organized III Chicago, and this argues ag-
gressive movements on the part of the
church as well in temperance, as in ed
ucating her people
LUTHERAN.
We learn the able Lutheran minister oc
this place, gave review of the Catholic
Bishops discourse at the late confrma-
lion. 1t was delivered in the German
tongue last Sabbath week at the Luther
an church, and is promo. need a masterly
argument, and not void of the spirit of
Luther. Many English hearers who
heard the Bishop would like to hear the
other side of the question. Win the
Lutheran minister give it in print? or at
his church at a convenient hour that all
may hear who desire to:
METHoDIsT EPISCOPAL.
The hour of meeting of the Sunday
S chool is at ., p NJ, Instead Of II Il. as
formerly
Asbuy University has at last recog.
nized one of the ablest divines west of
the Allegheny Mountains, and gave him
the title OF y. D. We allude to Rev. r.
Iargrave, one Of the pioneer Methodist
Ministers Of Ind We have wondered
how certain young men who could not
pass sophomore examination in Il scien-
tiic course, could receive the honorary
title Of A. A., previous to such worthy
recognition as in the instance of Rev
lIargrave.
The 4th and last quarterly meeting Of
the n. F. church Of this place comes off
July 2Gth and 9th. AS quarterly meet

SLAVE TRADE IN AFRICA
The Sultan o. Zau zebar has signed the
treaty for the suppression of the slave
trade, and ON June 9th the slave market
was closed. 1t is thought squadron of
English War-ships had some persuasive
influence on the Sultan. How much
credit Or Livingstone deserves in bring
ing about this humane result few
know. No doubt great deal more than
he viii get; yet any one who will read
Livingstone and Stanley" will see he
deserves IA great deal for the flood of light
he has given England in reference there
to.
New York Methodism, as not being
fully adapted TO the demands of n. y. |
city has provoked discussion from the
prominent men OF the church, and some
little uncharitable reflections on Mr.. |
Beecher, which the latter very Justly and in I
christian manner reviews. The remedy |
can only be found in Stacking the tension |
OF appointments as to time Where /
man can build up, let him build. Where
he can't, let him be removed, and thus do
away with the novelty Methodism seeks
too often at ministerial expense. The
is not so much this time as the
managing of the machine We would
there were little less ecclesiastical DOM
NANCY in certain directions, or that the
ball of the itinerancy would some times
roll so certain favorites would feel the
pressure, and not few, on whom the
weight has principally rested, while en-
during hardships as good soldiers in the
itinerant ranks.
DECIDED CHARACTER.
Every man who is worth. his salt has T:
been more or less subject of scandal in
these degenerate days. 1t only requires
reasonable time for scandal mongers how
ITO find their native place and society,
Which more or less always borders on per-
lltlon. The great lights of the N. Y !. city !
pulpit receive sheir share: but like the
esser, OF Plymouth reign in an atmos-
ohere, Which compared to that of their
nalIgners is as heaven to hell Every {
nan who IS positive character should G
expect such usage and govern himself
accordingly. A year will demonstrate !
What he is made of, and vindica te thai he 4
@e1ns retosne as much as the new city L
government, and that he only respects !
haracter in his mission-not persons. =
We received a letter from Mr.. Ferd. +
5urch, few days ago, in which he says ;

he country. His Post office is Eagle p
