AN ENGLISH BISHOP ON RITUALIsM,

Right Rev. DR.. Eilicott Protestant Bishop Of
Gloucester and Bristol, England concluded his
visitation at Yate October 80, when he stated in
what manner ne intends to use tho power given
him by the Public Worship Regulation act. On
complaint OF omission or commission--for neglect
must be provided for as well as excess-reaching
him he should require that the complaint be set
forth clearly, definitely. and with specifications OF
fime and place ana circumstances. This COM
plant he should send at once to the clergyman,
asking him two questions-1rst, whether the
statements were true, and, II they were true,
whether he was willing to be guided ny the
Bishops counsel. II he was willing ne should re-
quest an interview and explain the law and adj
wise him accordingly. 1t would be found that IN
most cases the matter would at this point
drop absolutely. II the clergyman Was con.
ientously unable to follow the Bishops advice ne
(the Bishop should assume partly legal char.
acter and do his very utmost under section OF
the act--namely confer with both complainant
and defendant, and try TO Induce them TO
yield to his counsel and directions, and 0 very
large proportion OF cases would be lOund to yleid
to this mode OF treatment; but II the interview
broke down, and the clergyman, AFTER weeks
grace, stil remained IN opposition, he should de-
lay no longer, but send the case to the appointed
Judge. The result wonld be separation, most
probably partial and limited, but still separation,
because they could not expect men who declared
that their usages symbolzed doctrine to givo
them up. The Ola Catholic movement, he be-
lieyed, would have an important bearing on the
development6 OF the future.

"What MY Girls Think"

BROOKLYN, Nov. Q, 1874
To THE EDITOR OF THE HEBALD:-
! am the mother OF three well.hred and accom-
plished girls, and the young gentlemen who visit
our house are loud IN praise OF their beauty. Now,
girls VIII discuss public men aud public affairs as
well as gentlemen, and the subject OF Governor
Iiiden's bacheorhood came up the other evening
at tea. Julia is our eldest girl, and she is natu-
rally quick and an excellent conversationalist
"ls it not strange said Cemence, my youngest
daughter, TO her eldest sister, 'that Mr.. Tlden
does not marry9 Why, at his age. with his success
In life and crowned with honors, he could make a
home so happy for any woman, however exactlnr
she might prove In marriage"
Julia 'that Mr.. Tiden must have awful troubie
with his washerwomen. Think how neglectlul they
are OF buttons and buttonholes, and what norrid
ironing they do and think Of their incessane
cheating. am sure Fred who is boarding until
We get married. IS really wretched when he thinks
OF the manner IN which he has to face his odous
washerwoman and the terrible fights he has to get
all his collars back"
"But then, JULIA" said Jane, my second eldest
daughter-she is sometimes quite snappish because
she has not had the advantages that julia mas
had-.you must remember that Fred has only a
small salary, and he spends so much for his nasty
cigars and in driving you in the Park tnaI he
must sometimes be In debt to his colored wash
woman.n
NV Julia, whose feelings are very sensitive ever
since she had fail down stairs. when IN her
twelfth year. became quite indignant at this un-
feeling remark, and said,
"Jane, perhaps If Fred had seen in you what no
has seen IN me and had made up his mind to suit
you as he did her, 1t IS quite possible that you
would not discuss the dear fellows paltry debtsD
Of course this little escapade rufiied the temper
OF my dearest Julia for few moments, but only
for a few moments. and she was soon smiling like
sunbeam. As Fred was just turning the corner
OF the street at thatvery moment, Juia added;
II do think that II q vote OF the ladies OF the
state were TO be taken as to whether Mr.. Tildeu
should DC compelled to marry or not. think that
the result would be positively against Mr.. Tilden
any longer remaining bacnelor. And am posi-
tive, girls. that ne must live In garret somewhere
and quarrel with some odious cat. If he takes his
seat at Albany and acts as Governor will he not
have TO give balls receptions ana dinner parties?
Aud think OF the lovely receptions tnat were
given by Governor Holman and his vile! do
hope he will marry, and marry soon, and all OF uS
girls will be so glad.n
And now, Mr.. Editor, have given you the harm-
less prattle OF my darling girls on the matter or
the bachelorhood OF Mr. Tdcn, ana II he sees this
IN print and nope you Will PRINT it, am sure
Mr.. Tilden will make mp hs mind ana take a wife.

Patrons of Husbandry, l will give
you little incident that occurred in

Circuit Court for valuable property,
estimated at ten or twelve hundred
dollars, who, according to the consti-
tuition and laws of the Patrons, with

to law by the Grange, satisfactory to
both parties, without cost to either.
Now had said suit been left in court it
might not have been settled for years at

given the same satisfaction it did. [
am certain the Patrons of Husband

our own differences with our own

THAT'S WHAT'S THE MArTER.-If
all the able bodied idle men in Yir-
GINA would go to work there would
be less complaint about hard times. ;"
The present generation will spend the
rest of their days in poverty unless
everybody will resolve to take off his
coat, roll up his sleeves and pitch in
to some honest employment. There
can be but little honey in hive when
the drones are more numerous than the
workers. No increase of the wealth
of any country can be expected whilst
consumers are more numerous than
producers. These are facts that no
one will dispute. We say. then, that
if our people wish to extricate them
selves from the slough of despond''
in which many of them seem to be
floundering. they must go manfully
and industriously to work. Ifthey cant
find employment In any special pur-
suit, letthem try another-do anything
but waste time in lounging at public
places or guzzling brain destroying
whiskey at bar-rooms. When an EN-
ployer cannot be found man will be-
come his own employer, if he is made
of the right sort or stuff. There are
multudinous ways by which a man,
who has the will and the energy, may
earn his subsistence in town and coun-
try. There is, therefore, no excuse
for idleness. Rise up, We sluggards.
shake off your supineness, pocket some
of the inglorious pride which makes
you disdain toll, and go to work.

EDITORS CHRoNICLE-I reached
here in time to spend day or two at
the Fair in this place. Owing to the
severity of the drouth in this State,
the rings of stock were not so full as
was expected; still the exhibition of
stock did credit to the county and
State. Ny attention, however, was not
directed entirely to the stock ring.
There being very large number of the
female sex in attendance, my attention
was very naturally directed in the
direction of the amphitheater, where
[ beheld very many Missouri beauties,
whose sweet faces and bewitching
smiles added much to the pleasures of
the day. All went off pleasantly,
leaving handsome sum of money in
the Treasury.
The tobacco crop in this State is
variously estimated at one-sixth to
one-fourth of an average crop, the
average crop of the State since the
war being about twelve thousand hhds.,
and the larger portion of the weed
having been produced in the counties
lying on the Missouri river. In con-
sequence of the unprecedented drouth,
these counties have failed almost en-
tirely. The failure is similar to that
of Kentucky and Tennessee. The
larger portion of the paintings are
late, and should we have September
frost but a small portion would be
housed. The style and quality, even
with the most favorable weather, will
be poor. The drouth in many localities
has been very severe on corn, pastures
and meadows. Some fields of corn
are completely dried up, not green
stalk to be found.
The grasshoppers and chinchbugs,
in many localities where the promise
was better, have made fearful ravages,
the latter telling it to the ground,
leaving here and there only scatter
ing stalk standing.
Yours truly, W. A. B.

ALL of our merchants are receiving
their new goods. The styles of cali
co are very pretty. A great many
young ladies will appear soon in full
suits of bordered calico with a solid
ground color, and when neatly made
they (the calico suits) will look as
well as poplin or silk-and the beauty
of it is, they will cost but little, if it
does take eighteen or twenty yards to
make a suit-when eight yards usee to
answer very well.
