fundamental law Of religion is supremacy to
the civil power. Render unto Caesar
the things that are Casar's and to
God the things that are Gods" This is q
divine law, but in its Interpretation how soon
we are told the difference between Caesar and
God! One is q mere human governor, the other
the Maker of the heavens and earth Every
priest whether he serves the Pope as Catholic,
or the Westminster Assembly as q Presby-
terian, or Wesley as Methodist. or Joseph
Smith as Mormon believes that as Gods s
anointed ambassador he is infallible. The
claim of the Pope is as old as religion
itself. The churchman always reserves his
right of conscience. A Quaker and a
Mennonite will not fight, although war may
be civil duty. No government has ever
seriously made point Of this refusal because
the Quakers and Mennonites are few, and it
is never wise to enter into religious quarrels.
But suppose an intallible Pope should declare
that no Catholic should take up arms, would
"Prudentius" obey the law that made war or

managed SO as to reconcile their religious
duties with their civil duties, and no church,
perhaps. so much as the Catholic. So the
question, happily, is not yet practical
one We hope it will 50 continue, at least in
America. We see the wisdom of separating
Church from State. To US the dogmas OF all
churches are simply expressions of sentiment
so far as the law is concerned. The Pope
may express ''affectionate sentiments to Mr..
Seward" as "Prudentius" reminds us, or to
Jefferson Davis when the head Of rebellion as
''Prudentius" does not remind us-ieis all the
same. 1t is only an illustrious and honored
priest saying charitable words and giving his
apostolical blessing to all who will hear him.
1t rarely has and under wise govern
ment could never have political mean
ing. Infallibility can never become seri-
ous problem in the United States, nor do we
think it should be made SO in England. We
entirely agree with ''Prudentius" that 'Mr
Gladstone has made for party purposes sui
cidal mistake, and the party among ourselves
that might in extremity raise a No Popery
cry would meet with the same fate

Saturday afternoon, sad-eyed
boy, with dirt on his chin and
tear on his nose, called at one of
the police stations and asked the
sergeant if he could be sent to the
Reform School he being a homeless
waif. As he had committed no
offense, he was told that he had
better go to the work house, but
he replied that his brother was at
the school and he'd rather go
there: A gentleman who was
present, after consultation with
the sergeant, said, "I guess we
can fix it. I am going to leave
my wallet on the desk, and the
sergeant and l will go up stairs.
If you take the wallet it will be
stealing, and you will be sent to
the Reform school," The wallet
was left. the men went up stairs
for a moment, and when they came
down the lad was nowhere in
sight; neither was the wallet, con-
tanning Sc; and, to be brief about
it, the lad and money are still
missing.-[D Detroit Free Press.

Taking a lion Alive.

The Russian River (Cal.) Flag,
of June 28th, has the following:
J. B. Baker, of this place (Healds-
burg(, has two boys, aged about
1S and 20 years, living on the
old Chenoweth ranch on the Rose
Mountain FIVE miles above the
mouth of. Russian River. Some
weeks ago the boys killed a large
female panther or California lion
that measured nine feet from tip
to tip. Week before last their
dogs treed a young male lion, sup
posed to be one of the cubs. The
boys had heard that Woodward
would pay q good price for a
young California lion, and they
determined to capture the animal
alive. One climbed the tree and
threw a moose over the lions head.
After tying the moose securely,
another rope was thrown around
his hind legs, which being secured,
they Iashed him to a pole, lowered
him to the ground and carried him
home alive and uhhuFt. The feat
WAS not performed without some
risk, for the lion is a year old, and
nearly six feet from tip to tip;, but
the boys managed the capture SO
well that neither got hurt, except
that one had finger slit by the
sharp claws of the beast.

ATer,Dle thirty Minute. History:


The East Wayne County lTenn.)
Citizen says: Mr.. Kyle was at a
neighbours house-raising, and his
wife, with her youngest child, went
to a spring near by to her
washing. After being engaged
sometime she heard a scream from
her little girl, whom she had left
at the house, and fastening to the
scene, it was her horror to behold
9. large ,rattlesnake there with its
fangs fastened in the child's arm.
She succeeded in killing the snake,
and then, thinking Of the child
which she had left at the spring,
fastened, there only to find that
this one had climbed up to the tub
of water and fallen in and was
drowned. This nearly crazed her,
and she ran with all her might to
where the house-raising was, and
screaming with excitement, called
to her husband, who was upon the
building at the time, and he,
through excitement in trying to
get down, pulled a piece of timber
upon himself and fell, killing him
instantly. The friends then went
back to where the child and the
snake were, only to find each 1ly-
ing dead on the floor. This all
happened within thirty minutes.

sCHOOLTEACEIING.


The school-teacher is now more
than ever an important person in
this country. The public-school
system is opening broad field to
teachers, and the opportunities for
quiet excellence---to borrow = a
word from the sehools-are multi
plying. Last year in the city of
New York, more than three mill
ions of dollars were spent on pub
lie schools, and more than 1000
teachers were employed to instruct
more. than 100000 children, which
number will be largely increased
by the compulsory education law,
recently enacted. Now while it
is not TO- be expected that a law
will ever be enacted compelling
all thoroughly competent to teach
yet the standard bywhich teachers
are chosen might be elevated with
great advantage to the public
school system. If the days of we'll
paid competent teachers ever come
we shall see much more satisfactory
results from this system than are

cree of expulsion was published

pledged his love. and fellowship;
and who afterwards was crowned
Pope and King, under the title of
Pho Nino, has now cursed his for

A wretch, whose name our inform
ant had forgotten, went to the
dwelling of settler named Booth,

Booth, beat her with club until
she was senseless. Mr.. Booth,
who was within few miles of Kir-

that his wife was dying from the

with carbine four times through
the head and three times through
the body, killing him on the spot.

AN INDIAN WAR.

Dispatches which have appeared
from various quarters, unless great
" exaggerated, indicate unmistak-
ably general Indian war. In the
South the turbulent and treacher-
GUS Comanches are. ready for an
outbreak. In the Indian Terrific
ry and southern Kansas, the. Kio-
was have commenced. their bloody
work, while in the north all the
tribes who are interested in the
territory surrounding the Black
1siFs..siee'1yv-%34a to resist any
attempted by'an expedition under
the lead Of the redoubtable Custer
This state of things has to a de-
gree, undoubtedly, been precipita-
ted through the agency of the
peace policy, the theme of so many
adulatory addresses, sided by the
yascillating course pursued by the
Department. In one instance
missionaries are sent out to rob
the army of the glory it has won,
and in another, the army is made
>an instrument to destroy the ami
cable arrangement of the mission
aries. Satanta was captured by
troops, tried, convicted, and SEN
fenced to death for murder. The
missionaries, however, came in time
to intercept the death warrant,and
one of the most blood-thirsty chiefs
on the plains was spared to renew
his exhibitions of ferocity as op-
portunity might suggest. And
for the past six years, during
which this precious commodity
yolepped Peace Policy has had free
course, the Indians laden with
scalps and plumber, and fleeing be-
fore our soldiers, have found pro-
lection, food, clothing and sympa-
thy with its missionaries.
And now, as result of all this,
the whole frontier from Texas to
Montana, is in do yer. Ten thou
sand warriors are ready to take the
field, and more than half that num-
Der are already on the war-path.
The consequences can hardly be
estimated. Rapine and murder
will mark their trail all along the
western border, and the yells of
savages with the shrieks of white
women and children will unite as
testimonials to the wisdom and
bene6cence of the Peace policy!
