q ceremony. They were not remembering the
day to keep it holy, and this loss of Life. seems
all tho moro sad from this consideration" The
same paper laments- that Chief Justice Chase
spent his last Sabbath afternoon on earth 'rldlng
in the Park! !" A still more striking instance
Of this style Of bigotry is manifested oy
the editor of the English Church Herotd'
who, in speaking Of the late John
stnart Mill, says: stills death is no loss to
ANYBODY, for he was rank but aniable intidel,
and most dangerous porson. The sooner those
lights Of thought who agree with him 20 to
the same place, the better will it DO for both
Church and State. We can we'll spare the whole
crew OF them, and shall hear Of their departure,
whether one by one or in body, With calm sat
isfaction." It is pitiable that the Church, aa
whole, has no means Of defending itself against
such bigota, whose bigotry would be Of little
consequence if its influence extended no further
than themselves. Unfortunately, however, it
reflects upon the whole Church by misrepresent-
ing its real character, and does almost irretreVa-
BILE damage.

The e1traTagant style OF living, which is at
present characteristic Of fashionable life in
this country and in England, in one case at least
has come to illogical conclusion. In the Englal
town OF Ross, young solicitor BY the name Of
akYrme succeeded to the extensive business OF
q brother solicitor. The entire community
trusted him implicitly, and confded to him large
Gums Of money for Investment. He had the let
ting Of houses and lands, and many
heavy balances we're in his hands uncalled
for. He was supposed By tho people to be
very rich, and his frank, open-hearted manners
made him tho 1ayorito OF every one. He VAS
happily married and lived in elegant style. He
Was described 81 "open-hearted, open-handed,
generous to fault, accessible and pleasant,
frank, open, and simple" This Impression he
kept up for many years, and it was not dissipat-
ed until after his DEATH On tho 26th Of April
last, he was found dead in his bed, and It was
supposed he had died Of apople1y* After hia
death, it,.was shown that al these years he had
been ono OF the most accomplished, skillful, and
hesrtless swindlers OF the age Almost every oue
who has trusted him Is ruined. Thoae for whom

These be the women who furnish: the modes
for the worlds fashionables. who invent novel

feeling OF repugnance when they learn that
these women are no longer even young and

!: The practice OF Offering premiums, which has
long since run tho gamut Of American enter
prise from literary magazines down to prizo
candy stores, has broken out with extreme vio-
1ence in England. The most startling applica-
ton Of the system has been made. by London
omnibus company, doing business on d CO.
operative plan, which offers "a set Of prizes
every three months to the persons who can pro-
duco the largest number Of tickets in proof that
they have performed the journey" There is Il
large number OF prizes, ranging from s5 down
to Rhil1ings. The device, We suppose, is to DO
ranked as an encouragement OF industry, and is
likely toueate new occupation. Hencefo1th, the
trades Of London will include the professional
omnibus-pesaenger. It will require small
capital to start the business, and a familiarity
With the average number OF trips made BY the.
non-profeasional on amateur passenger. Thera.
Will also be some competition for while In re-
gard to the first prizes, but the craft will sooE
divide itself up into various, degrees Of skill and
industry, commanding E5, or s3, or 10 shi11ings,
according to the varied endurance and persist
ence OF those who devote themselves to the
business. The calling ia one that can be CON-
fortably joined with other pursuits, that Of tho
'pickpocket for instance,-and it will give man
: standing before the Police Courts which will
release him from the charge OF Vagrancy.

An anti-tobacco association has been formed
in Paris, which has just petitioned tho Govern
ment to interdict the sale Of tobacco to youths
under Is, and the railway companies to forbid
smoking in their carriages and stations The
smokers, however, have risen in remonstrance,
and c1aim that anybody may amoke French
grown tobacco, especially the kinds called Le
Petit Bordeaux and lie Tonneins without any in
jury whatever. They dony that nicotine is the
dangerous element in tobacco. and say that
4 raH smoker could not smoke q London cigar
three minutes without violent nausea, and
Havana tobacco contains but per cent Of nico-
tine, while he can smoke the French cigars with
impnnity, which contain 8 Per cent and that IN
habitual smoker can smoke twelve or fifteen pipes
OF Capordz without Inconvenience, but could not
smoke two chibouques OF Turkish tobacco, which
contains but one-haH per cent Of nicotine. The
statistics, however, are not SO effective against
the anti-amokers as the fact thst the Govern
ment is paying its German indemnify very largo
" out Of the tobacco revenue. II can smoke
the Germans out, there is little hope for the
anti-amoksrs.

a recent letter from Mr. Bayard Taylor 10 the
New York Tribune, written in Wanna, indicates
hopeless confusion and . disgracafu1 incapacity,
He does not intimate that tho charges against.
Gen Van Buren, are true, OF that he ought to
h.7e been removed, but he does say that tho
new Commissioners have failed to reduca
the chaotic condition Of things to anything.
like order. He speaks Of the situation
as painfully humiliating to an American, which
Is passed over in sort OF pitying silence by the
other nahona1ities present. The "Honora1y
Commissioners" appointed in large numbers by
all the different States, are generally making
themselves conspicuous by their absurd conduct,
though they have received no recognition what
ever from the Austrian officials. He charao-
terizes the wholerepresentaton, "a it is present.
ed before the world, as "black amutch, "
which it undoubtedly fs, and he ascribes
it properly to the appointment Of 8 lot Of
nobodiea, who we're never heard Of before, as the
Executive Commissioners. It this is where the
fault lies, however, it is not Gen. Van Buren
who is to blame, but the Administration, which
should have been actuated in this matter by
higher consideration than party service or polit
ica1 interests. ="

remitted the sentence until the 14th OF June.
Meanwhile, the most respectable Delaware
papers are calling upon the Governor to spare
the State the disgrace Of such punishment
The punishment Of the lash has never yet served
the purpose it WAS intended to fulfill, and the
enforcement of this relic Of ba1bariHm has only
tended to disgrace the State OF Delaware N the
ewes Of the whole country. It ia sincerely
to be hoped that the Governor OF that
State has both Judgment and hunan-
ity enough to commute this sentence to
imprisonment The whipping-post is the punish
ment Of d eaTage, and the sooner the heglsla-
ture Of that State abo1ishes 1.-THE better Will it be
for all concerned. AS long as it stands, Dela-

increases With the means OF subsistence. Ar.
Saniors theory, or rathor thought, for he did not
reduce it to q theory, was, that, IN the advance
Of the world to higher state Of civilization,
population Will not necessarily increase with the
increase Of the means OF subsistence. Hence
the millennium, SO far as embraced IN the
dogma that when the Lord sends mouths He WILL
send meat, which was clearly not true in Mr.
Malthus' time ia not impossible Of realization
Mr. Malthus retorted with statistics, which Ger
tainly did support hia side Of the case, anu
from that time to this there has been Little or
no scientific opposition, though much grum-
bling, against his doctrine.
And now comes Mr. ". 4. Greg, in his recent
" published work entitled Enigmas Of Life"
to reinforce the forgotten battle OF Mr. Senior.
It cannot be said that he has addod much to
what Mr.. Senior said. He admits that he has
not been able to find any statistics Of sufficient
scope to refute Mr. Nautilus, but he thinks that
ho has observed in England, where what IL
called "moral restraint " is 1eHs practised than
anywhere else in the civilized world,
marked diminution in the number Of chill
dren born to the families OF the we'll
to-do clnsses. He thinks TINT cere-
bral development is opposed to fecundity,
and that as nation advances in education and
intelligence the power Of multiplication dimin-
ishes in obedience to physiological law. He
believes that this is fact, and suggests nvesti-
CATION by statisticians and medical men. II this
be not true, he snys rightly that the Ma1thusian
doctrine is the most stupendous Of all the enig-
mas Of life-being apparently IN insurmountable
barrier to human progress; for, if the human
race is bound to increase faster than the means
OF subsistence, with no other cor1ectives than
var, pestilence, and famine, and with no other
hindrance than moral restraint, which he re-
CARDS as practically no hindrance at
all, the great mass Of mankind taVe
nothing to look forward to in this world but
penury, degradation, vice, disease, and crime.
We trust that Mr.. Greg's suggestion will bo
taken up by statisticians in this country, for We
feel tolerably sure that it uil be found that the
size Of families has diminished in very marked
degree among the native American stock during
the past fifty years, notwithstanding the means
Of subsistence hare Increased in still greater

Tho condition Of the poorer English clergy is'

that country. A vast number Of the ivings OF

sympathiztng with the clergy, now propose to-
raise central fund large enough to mako it,
certain that no incumbent Of any living belong

ing to this proposition, very aptly says: "Why
does not the Church begin the reform within
herself? Why not dock the stipends Of absentee
Canons and overpaid Rectors7 There are priests
who are richly sa1aried, and whose services ares:
mystery and darkness to mankind. Many man

Let the politicians say what they
please about it, tho farmers move
ment is going ahead like a prairie on
fire, Several representative Missouri
papers at hand speak the sentiment
of that region. One says:
"The necessity for that reform in
political administration which the
united effort of the farmers of the
country, especially Of the West, can
alone obtain is so urgent that it can
not fail to be recognized by even the
most superficial" Another--"This
movement Of the agricultural interests
Of the country has not commenced a
bit to soon, and however modest and
timid may be their first action, they
will soon find themselves caught up
in the whirling tide of State and
national politics, and will be com
PEELED whether or not, to consider all
the grave problems now before the
country" Still another-"The farm
ers' war, as it is sometimes called, is
destined to have a political inAu-
ence." A Nebraska paper asserts
that the grangers are making rapid
progress in that State. Common
cause is there taken with the farmers
of Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota
and other States on all questions eff
fecting the farmers interests. An
other Western paper declares that
"the whole race of dishonest politi-
clans stand in awe of this great move
ment," which is no doubt the truth.
A st. Paul paper says it it looks as
if the potato bugs" (grangers) will
prove lively crowd in Minnesota.
An Illinois paper declares "the move
ment to be an Independent one, COM
mitted to no one and to no party, but
commencing itself to ALL" The
Catholic farmers of Olmstead county,
Minnesota, although not members of
the Order of the Patrons Of Husband
ry, express themselves warmly in
favor of its principles, excepting its
In short there seems to be
o general stampede in favor of the
movement, regardless of religious
predictions or previous political
aiiiliation.
