DAVID NJ. WILSON, ESQ, of Youngs-
town, in speech few days since, in
the State Constitutional Convention,
is reported to have defined his church
relationship in the following burst:
"My church Is the broad canopy of
heaven, the stars the chandelier, the
angels of glory the choir, the deep
toned thunder the organ and the Great
Jehovah himself the priest. You
build your little brick, stone and wood
ed churches inside of mine, and dou't
pay any ground rent either"

The Temperance Cause.

TIE wOMEN'S CRUSADE IN OHIO.
a despatch from Cincinnati saws -. Hills
borO, Highland county, was probably, on Sat
urday, the most excited town in the state on the
temperance question. Tire occasion was grand
gathering of the friends OF temperance from all
the surrounding towns, and was rendered no.
table by the presence of Mr.. Van Pelt, the re-
formed bar-rOom keeper, who accompanied a
delegation from New Vienna. He attracts
large numbers wherever he visits, ana has al
ready been invited TO large number o. places.
The report that he would be at Hillsboro haV-
Ing been widely circulated, there was a large
Influx OF country people who came from ali d.
rections, Oh foot and horseback, in wagons and
sleighs, and literally filled the little town %
oyernowing. Everything was favorable for a
large meeting, the weather being pleasant aud
sleighing excellent. Some towns sent largadel-
egations, and If moral support will assist Hills
boro in the cause, Saturdays meet
ing will show that the whole cour-
hour and enlisted in the cause of Temperance
At an early hour the Presbyterian Church
where the morning exercises were held, wa
crowded. The exercises were brief bnt earnest
and were followed by bOuntiful luncheon pre-
pared by tine ladies of the town. The people
then assembled in the town hall, where deyo-
uonal exercises we're conducted and short
speeches made by several clergymen, one of
whom announced himself as a reformed drunk
ard. Mr.. Van Pelt also addressed the audience
in rough, uncultivated, but evidently earnest
and sincere manner. His remarks were listened
to attentively, and when he had concludes, the
audience called loudly for him to relate his
experience as a dealer. He hesitated at this,
but the appeals becoming more urgent, be spoke
briefly of his past life, confessing that he was
ashamed Of il and preferred silence in regard
to il.
"Mr. Van Pelt's conversion having ended
whisky selling at New Vienna, the ladies there
are aiding all the neighboring towns that call
upon them. ON Friday evening Mr. Van Pelt
spoke at Leesburg, Highland county. Those
who bring liquor into New Vienna, and are 50
unfortunate as to show themselves upon the
streets intoxicated, are Immediately arrested,
and they generally receive all the punishment
the law will allow. At Cambridge, Guernsey
county, temperance matters are being discussed,
with a probability that the movement will soon
extend there. AT Manchester, Clinton county,
the Leaguers succeeded in winning over the two
druggists of the town, but at last accounts had
made no progress among the saloon keepers.
one of them, whose place of business faces the
railroad track, refused TO admit ladies to his
saloon. and he will be assailed from a car,
which has been placed at the ladies' service by
a railroad superintendent"

THB WIDOW OF SAMUEL SwARTwoU T died OF
the 9th inst, at Montcair, New Jersey, at the
age OF elghty-hve. Her husband was collector
OF this port forty years ago, and created great
newspaper stir by decamping to England as q
defaulter to the government, from which he had
appropriated large sum for purposes of spec
ulation. One of his speculations was the pur-
chase of the marshes between Newark and
JerSey City, which he ditched and diked. The
dlkes, however, were perforated by water rats
and rendered useless. a great part of the lands
laid, therefore, for many years useless, unit
the late Samuel Pike, in connection with Others
undertook again to dixie them. This time tn G
rats were nonplussed, as thin plates of iron
were driven down the centre OF the dikes, As
far as the land has been thus improved it has
been made well available for gardening pu.
poses and has become very valuable.-N. Y.

The NEXT PePR- What the IaIian G0yern.
Baent Thinks If the Vatican ElecfiOn.-The Franco
Italian Correspondence of Rome, speaking Of
the policy of the great lay powers during tie
election of Pho NinO's successor, saws 1t is
quite true that, on the initiative OF the cabinet
of Berlin, semi ofiicial exchange of ideas took
place before and after the publication OF the
bull in the Cologne Gazette between Germany,
Austro- Hungary and Italy in reference to the
more or less near vacancy in the Holy See
But we can contradict in the most formal man
ner, at least as regards the Roman cabinet,
that any accord was established, or could be-
between those three powers on that grave SUBJ
Ject. While admitting that the peace of the
world might be endangered by the future pom
tihcal election, the Italian government decided
upon not following Germany in the preventive
measures she proposes, and categorically re-
fuses to pledge itself by collective declaration
not 10 recognize Pope elected under other
conditions than those which have hitherto been
adopted.
The thesis sustained by Italy in those diplo.
matte interchanges of yiews-a doctrine which
appears to be approved by the Vienna govern
ment-is that the suppression of the temporal
power has removed from all states any re Ison
for interfering with the conclave, and that the
successor OF Plus IN, who, as king, would have
fallen under the governmental action of Eu-
rope, reduced to the part Of pontiff, can only
interest Catholic consciences, those latter alone
having the qualification to decide as to the le-
gitimacy Of the choice and the chosen.

The TERRORs OF LYNCH LAW ILLUSTRAT-
ED.-The fearful punishment OF the cOlOred
murderer, Wyatt, in Cairo, H., last week
well illustrates the terror Of mob law. Wyatt
robbed and murdered a defenceleSs woman
some time since, and all efforts to find out his
whereabouts were Intellectual, until one mOrnn 2
last week he was seen to ride through the streets
at Lightning pace, on horseback. An officer,
procuring a horse, got OH his track. but the
negro, mounted on the swifter steed, was in
creasing the distance between him and the
sheriff, who commanded him to halt. Wyatt
paid no attention to the sheriff's command, but
urged his horse on the faster, when the officer
fired two shoes at him, the last of which struck
him under the left shoulder and lodged against
the skin of the left breast, in1icting painful
though not fatal wound. This brought him to
halt, and thesherih took him back and locked
him up in the county Jail. A throng of incens-
ed citizens surrounded the Jail, determined that
wyatt should not be permitted to escape
through legal technicalities or the laws delays
one could be deceived as TO what they were GO
ing to do. As soon as it was dark tie crowd
broke into the Jail and took the prisoner out in
to neighboriDg tbicket, where TREY hung him
up and then let him down, when he asked them
II they were going to kill him. They told HIM
they were, when he said: 'tWell, then, | don't
want to die with lie in my mouth. | killed
the woman and took her money" He had no
more than said this when man Jumped up and
throwing rope around his neck swung him IL o.
After having been satified that their victim was
dead the crowd dispersed, no one of them
being allowed to care for the murderer's
corpse, which was left hanging from limb OF
the tree.
