Here is the dispatch from Cleveland,
Ohio, giving the views enunciated
by Bishop Gilmour in his Lenten pas
toral:
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 3.--Much
excitement has been created here con-
corning the pastoral of the Right Rev.
DIR. Gilmour, the Roman Catholic Bish-
OPP of this diocese. The document is
very bold and determined in its tone
and character, asserting the suprema-
cy of the church over the State, cen
surfing the present system of public
school education, which he claims inn
perfect, insisting that Catholic families
shall send their children to Catholic
schools, unless absolutely impractical
BILE, directing that marriages shall not
be contracted with persons outside the
church, and says il necessary Catho-
lies must insist upon and demand their
rights as citizens at the polls: societies
are not TO be permitted to enter the
church wearing their regalia, unless
the church is formally recognized by
such society, having a priest at its
head. Church property will not here
after be controlled by trustees, but be
transferred to the Bishop.
The pastoral has elected much CON-
ment from the press of the city, both
editorially and through communion
tons. Last evening Rev. Mr.. For
bush, Unitarian minister, before a
large audience, made the pastoral the
subject of his discourse and took
strong grounds againstit. This morn
ing Bishop Gilmour published letter
defending and explaining the pastoral
at length, and Concludes with this pro-
position to the school board, that Cath
olics shall build their own school
houses and place them, during school
hours, under the entire control Of the
public school board, during which
time no religious instruction shall be
given, but before or after school hours
religious instruction shall be permitted.
The teachers Of said schools shall be
Catholics and shall be paid by the
school board.

The salary steal.

1t is but justice to those men who,
like Senator Trumbull, Bayard, and
Representative Banks, voted for the in
creased salary bill, to state their side
of the question. They say their sup
port was given to this measure simply
to equalize the compensation account.
Thus for instance, the members of both
Houses from Oregon got sc, 492 for the
session on account of mileage. Those
from Nevada got $500; from Texas
$4,000: from Louisiana, $500; from
Arkansas, $2,40O; from Kansas and
Nebraska, 81, 100; Notwithstanding the
notorious fact that either these men,
hers had railroad passes all the way
or else passed the entire session in
Washington. The increase of Salary
bill abolishes mileage, and under this
provision Senator Kelley will be re-
CURED to pay $l,492 into the Treas
ury instead of receiving $6,492 there
from.

STATUARY AND OLD CLoTHEs.-By what
law of association statuary and old clothes are
connected in the mind of the Italian image
find out" But the strange association exists,
much to the bewilderment of students of nat
ural philosophy. Little dark men, very dirty.
and very much at fault in their English pro-
nuneiation, continue to infest our streets, car
rying upon their heads trays loaded with what
they are pleased to term 'ze works of art"
One of these itinerants, dirty beyond his kind
and having about him suspicion of Piedmont
ese garlic, has been of late calling at houses in
this city, at hours when heads of households
were absent in the business portion of the
town, for the purpose of selling his wares.
The women, ever on the alert for a bargain,
were quite transported at the sight of Clyties
with an abnormal exuberance of bosom and
groups of very pink children in impossible atti-
tudes, looking seraphically at nothing. From
the recesses of well-stored wardrobes, from the
corners OF dark closets from the hooks and
crannies of rarely visited attics, clothes in all
states of dilapiiation were brought out to bar
ter for marble efiges of the maid whose head
was turned by the Sun, and whose sculptured
charms We're cheap, so the image peddler as
sured them, at nine dollars bust When the
husbands returned at night, no clothes were
there, and the easy-fitting, white-seamed gar
ments which they were wont to wear while do
ing up odd jobs were not to be found. Indeed
in some instances the feminine enthusiasm for
art and good bargains resulted in the sale of
coats and trousers which had much good SER
vice in them yet. Masculine wrath vented it.
self in epithets more forcible than polite, and
in lieu of the discarded suits, men clothed
themselves with curses as with garment.
The grief and vexation Of the loving and
asthetically inclined wives were great, and
were not lessened by the discovery few days
after, that the nine-dollar marble Clyties and
the hgh-prced pink childrea sold them by the
mendacious and persuasive image vender, had
been purchased by him at the Eureka Dollar
Store.

CoRREcrIoS.-In a court report of Saturday
an unfortunate collocation of words gave the
imp ession that Isaac Dyer, esq, was charged
with s'tealing barrel of apples. 1t seems
hardly necessary to make any correction of so
palpable an error but the facts as shown in
the course of the preliminary examination in
the matter of an alleged arson are substantial
", that, in the absence of the occupant, Mr..
Dyer took barrel of apples from house on
farm which be owned and from which
he claims that he was to have the
apples, although he had let the house. He
supposed the apples to be his but on being in
formed that they belonged to auothor party i'm
mediately gave them up. of course under
snch circumstances the notion of an intent to
steal was simply absurd.

POLICE BALL.-The annual ball given by
the police of this city, comes off tomorrow
evening at City Hall. There is no class of men
in our community upon whom the people de-
pend SO much for the safety of their lives and
property as the police. And while they are
properly paid by the city for their services, they
still have the privilege of giving this annual
ball. the profits of which they enjoy themselves
as one of the few perquistes of their Office. 1t
is perhaps, more time-honored custom of a
social reunion on the part of the force, than
one designed for profit, and very pleasant sea-
sors they have always BEEN A large number
of tickets have already been sold. and the indi-
cations are that the ball on Tuesday evening
will prove successful affair.
