Church existed centuries before
America We, ~ So e,s-cr heard of, and il
the same yesterday, to-day, and to-

thank the Pioneer for the interest
it takes in our liberty of consci-
ence, but human nature, especially
Catholic human nature, is some
times very percerse. And let me
ask here if the Pioneer is to be re-
garded as religious or local journ-
al, as we do not care to help sup
port paper which grasps every
opportunity to abuse our Pastor
and ourselves. In conclusion let
me say that when we feel wronged
by our Pastor, we have tongues and
pens of our own, with which to de-
fend ourselves; and with all due
respect for Mr.. Tefft's eXaulted po-
sition as editor of the aorOng side of
the Pioneer and city printer, and
his wonderful powers as an arith-
meticidn, we have still niger tri-
bunal than his to appeal our wrongs

by going $50 feet farther the salt

Mr. Hagerty and the other men

Mr.. EDITOR The last Pioneer
makes some perhaps unwarr?nted
reflections in respect to the purchase
of a cord of wood from the Mayor.
The facts of the matter are as fol-
lows: The Common Council auth
orized, last fall, the Recorder to
purchase some wood, and have it
prepared for use in the council
room. After talking with various
parties, I let the job to BewiclS,
Comstock e. Co., of furnishing three
cords of beech and maple stove
wood, the same to be delivered,
corded up, in the jury room, on the
second floor of Potter's block, and
! agreed to pay them SO in city or
ders. This was the lowest bid ]
was able to get at that time, and
the wood was purchased exactly
according 70 INSTRUCTIONS from the |
Council, the bill was passed, and
wood paid for precisely according
to contract. Perhaps l paid too
much, but | think not. A cord of
maple four-foot wood at that time
would cost, On the yard, 81; the
delivery at the building, IS cents;
saving twice in two, So; and carry
ing up stairs and cording up three
cords of stove wood, $3.50, or SS.25,
cash, Ian article in which the city
did not deal very extensively
This equals 500 in city orders
orders then being at IS cents.

it by nearly all the Board, he i.
rather hasty. The members of the
Council know whether we endeav-
orcd to influence them or not in the
matter.
We never knew, nor do not know
yet, that when man signs a con-
tract to receive a certain amount
for printing folio, and he should
make out his bill for the actual
number of folios he was entitled to,
that it would be violation of that
contract. The path is too narrow
to admit of travel in that direction.
We have not claimed that print
ers must "count all their printing
the same as legal but we have
said, and say still, that if a printer
takes printing by the folio, he must
do it by the folio, and not other
wise. -
In regard to the wood spoken of
by the Pioneer man, we have to say
that, last fall the Recorder was au-
thorized to buy wood for the coun-
Gil room. This he did, agreeing to
pay IS for.the wood, cutting, haul
ing and carrying up stairs. Now
that there is anything unjust in the
charge of So, we cannot see. 1t
must be remembered that the
wood was not thrown off in the
street, and left, but was, as stated
above, cut and taken up stairs. If
the Pioneer man thinks the charge
too high, let him undertake the
next job.
Mr.. Tefft refers back to the bids
of two years ago in his vain en-
deavor to make ten lines a folio,
and asks why there should be a diff
terence in the price between "legals'
aud proceedings"
In the meaning of the law there is
no difference when printed 10y the
folio, but the fact that the proceed
ings were bid for at less figure
than legals, is simply because the
proceedings of the Common Coun-
Gil are a matter of interest to the
readers of the local press. This is
the real reason that q publisher
could afford to take less for that
work.
"The term folio when used as a
n: casure for computing fees or COM
pen. 7ation, shall be construed 20
mean one hundred words" The
statute is plain enough on that
point, and there is not the slightest
chance for man to make charges
for folio work, except to take the
meaning of the statute for his
guide.

Com nlunicatiOn.

Mr.. EDIToR.-I noticed in last
weeks Pioneer an article taken
from the Detroit Post, but which |
have no doubt was first sent them
for publication by some Alpena
writer, and as the article claims the
Pioneer rs authority, in the first
place l will confine my remarks to
that paper.
To begin with, our Pastor
did forbid any member of his flock
to join in Divine service with any
other denomination, and, however
unusual" this may seem to Michi-
gan Churches, it is certainly not
unusual" in Catholic Churches, for
as Catholics we are just sample
enough to believe our Bible when
it tells us that there is hut zone
Faith, one Baptism, one God and
one Father of all" That we are
now in that faith, we feel convinced.
And l am sorry TO say that when
we did visit other Churches, it was
from the not very refined motive of
curiosity. Perhaps ] would not
feel so free to confess this if we did
not know from the conduct of the
numbers who flock to our Church
on the occasion of wedding or any
thing unusual, that our Protestant
friends were not above this same
motive, and sometimes much
corse one,-I mean sneering at and
rediculing our ceremonies.
Now TO the point. Our Priest,
as our Spiritual Father, has as
much right to enforce obedience in
exclusively spiritual matters as a
natural father has to expect obedi-
cncu from bis children, and as Cath-

Bazaine.

The escape of Marshal Bazaine is not
matter OF very great Importance ex-
cept TO the prisoner himself. Whether
or not he was guilty of the reasonable
conduct of which re was sentenced.
public sentiment in France Undoubtedly
sustained the verdict of the court-mar-
tial. The French were eager to find
some s5apegoat for their ignominious
defeat in the field, and Napoleonism
was at the time far more unpopular
than it is at present. The charge that
a NapoleOnist Marshal was q traitor,
that lie had made Sedan possible and
sacrificed the garrison OF Metz, was one
which the French were only too ready
to believe. France, therefore, fully
acquiesced in Bazaine's condemnation,
and he has been considered as martyr
only by the most ardsnt Imperialists.
Now that he has escaped Bazaine will
probably seek refuge in England or
Belgium. He will, however, be quite
without influence upon the future of
his country. The army has lost its re-
spect for him, and no party in France
can at present afford to accept him as
an ally. He will, of course, receive q
cordial welcome from the ex-Empress,
but he will thereafter sink into obscu
rity. Should the empire be restored
he would, of course, be reinstated in
his military rank, but he can hardly be
reinstated in the respect and confidence
of the troops. His career is over, and
his escape from his prison is a matter
of far less Importance than the escape
of Rochefort. The Marshal who once
commanded an army of $4,000 men is
now powerless but the writer OF the
bitter lampoons can sting his enemies
as severely to-day as he stung the EN-
peror and his court when he was first
an exile at Brussels.

The shop Girls Of London.

What is Known as the " season" in
London is about over, aid the aristoc
racy are rapidly leaving for their coun-
try resorts to escape what they are
pleased to designate as "ihe heated
term, which is not warmer in London
than May is in Louisville. The l. ng
line of splendid carriages that a week
ago were seen every afternoon winding
serpent-like through Hyde park have
disappeared, and languishing duchesses
who lolled dreamily upon their v,lvety
seats have faded away like the figures
of some horrid dream, for more with
cred, corrugated mass of cushioned
ugliness / have nev6r seen. But they
are witty, and make good politicians,
and brilliancy of conversation is always
a compensation for homelineess of per-
son. Most of them have intellectual
faces, but their expression is rather cut
with the traces of hot mental excite
ment and betray a sad absence of re-
pose and softness. Fix your eye on
one and she will look you out of coun-
tenance. They all more or less evince
the effects of social dissipation, and i'm
press you with the idea of advanced
maidenhood that has been I" crossed by
love or soured by solitary confinement.
Indeed, if I must speak the truth l am
compelled to say that the handsomest
women 1 have seen in England are the
shop girls:
It is difficult to tell why it is so, but
it is true nevertheless, that the most
popular restaurants have the most beau
tiful female employees. The Criterion,
to instance, which is q new and splen-
did establishment, just completed with
in the past six months, has two or three
dozen employed, and the man who Sc
lected them must have had the eye of
painter and the heart of a poet. He
could hardly have improved upon his
selection had he searched the world.
All types of beauty are represented.
There is the robust and well-rounded
blonde of England and the languid
but rotund brunette of the east, with
wanton tresses glistening in lympathetic
loveliness, and dark, oriental eyes ris
ing timidly through a profusion of
silky lashes. The establishment is
favorite resort for Americans, and its
dinners are the best to be had in Lon
don, though he who enjoys them has to
pay roundly for the luxury. ry.-Courier-

A Word, Mothers.

Each mother is a historian. She
writes not the history of empires or of
nations on paper, but she writes her own
history on the unperishable mind of her
child. That tablet and that history
will remain indellible when time shall
be no more. That history each mother
will meet again, and read with eternal
Joy or unutterable woe in the far ages
of eternity. This thought would
weigh on the mind of every mother,
and render her deeply circumspect and
prayful, and faithful, in her solemn
work of training up her children for
heaven and Immortality. The minds of
children are very susceptible and easily
impressed. A word, a look, a frown
may engrave an impression on the mind
of child which no lapse of time can
efface or wash out. You walk along the
seashore when the tide is out, and you
form characters, or write words or
names in the smooth, white sand which
lies spread out SO clear and beautiful
at your feet, according as your fancy
may dictate, but the running tide shall
in few hours wash out and efface for
ever all that you have written. Not so

ror, which your conduct imprints- ON the
minds of your child. There you write
impressions for the eternal good or i'll
of your child, which neither the floods
