ration Of the officers elect The May
or, DR.. j. f. Hibberd, delivered a
brief address, in which he congratu =
lates the city on its debt paying stu

Mr. Robert Dale Dwen in snita Of

Mr.. Robert Dale Owen. in spite of
his humiliatipg experience with the
Holmes family, still ayows his belief
in their power of naturalization. He
says he knows they have the power,
and that they supplement their power
with fraud, but he does not know
where one leaves off and the other
begins This speaks badly for the
moral principles of the spirits who
use the Holmeses as their mediums. .
Mr.. Owen gave these views TO a re-
porter of the Rochester Democrat,
after delivering lecture in that city
the other night, in which he related
this astounding anecdote: "a ply
s:cian on Staten Island-a most reli
able man-had told the speaker that
in his younger days he was connected
with a hospital on the bank of Lake
Constance, in Switzerland. One of
the patients, who was subject to cpl
leptic fits, was also confirmed som
nambulist When under this infiu-
cnce she would prophesy with perfect
correctness. On one occasion she
said that the next day she was to walk
on the water. She was, therefore,
closely watched. She arose in SOM
nambulistic state and. going down to
a bank, wadcd thirty yards out on the
water from shore. and returned, step
ping off of it as off of platform"

We quote the following paragraph
from the Sandusky Register:
The Cleveland Herald yentured to
remark few days since that it knew
of number of Catholics in Cleveland
who are the staunchest advocates Of
the public schools. Bishop Gilmour' s
paper, the Catholic Universe, quoted
what the Herald said. and remarked
that, "If such Catholics exist their
knowledge is not to sobriety.' They
are not wise, as it behooveth them to
be wise Their place is not in the
Catholic Church"
To this the Register adds:
We know number of such Catho-
lies in this city. Why! we have a
deyout Catholic on the School Board.
He is sober man, is reputed to be
wise man, and certainly cannot be
willing to remain on the Board IT he
is an enemy of the public schools, for
then he would be sneakIng traitor
and cowardly spy. Then one of
Bishop Gilmours priests, Father
Smyth, il on the Cleveland School
Board. Where does he belong. if not
in the Church of Rome? Is he a
traitor and spy? The Bishop should
look after Doctor Duohue and Father
Smith. But seriously we agree with
the Catholic Universe. No man
friendly to the public school system,
in favor of free press, an admirer of
Republican institutions, has any place
in the Church of Rome unless he re-
pudiates the Papal pretensions that
the Pope is infallible, and that the
Priesthood are the keepers of human
conscience, and the guards at the gate
Of heaven.
The Gazette says there are fifteen
Roman Catholics in the Cincinnati
School Board, and adds:
Now, all these men, according to
the Cleveland paper, are degenerate
sons of the church, ii they are friends
of the public schools. If they are not
friends of the schools they are not
worthy of seats in the Board OF Edu-
cation. We call upon the Telegraph
for information.

State RighIs-sState Sovereignty. p
To the teaching and practice of
this damnable doctrine of estate
sovereignty" may be traced the ter
rible troubles-the disunion senti
ments-the treason that eventuated
in the butchery of thousands of pa
triots, and brought such universal
desolation on the Southern portion
of our country. In the course Of a
conversation the other day, at In
dianapolis, Senator Morton hit the
preposterousness of there existing
such sswheel within a Wheel" in
at least twenty three of the present
States of the Union, and that
If it had no existence there il
had no exirtence anywhere. Con
gress had given them State govern
ments, organized from their terri
torial condition, and thus conferred
on them all the powers they pos
sessed. Senator Morton remarked
that the only TIE that will effectu>
ally hold our country together, is
the fact that the States are COM
posed of ONE PEoPLE-oNE GOVERN
MENT- and not thirty six sovereign
ties and thirty six petty govern
ments, having divided inter ests and
divided aims.

The funeral of Mrs. Eliza Ford. a
lady who weighed between 500 and
600 pounds, took place the other day
from her residence. Eighteenth and
Hamilton streets, Philadelphia. Her
history has been very peculiar. Sew
enteen years ago last Thanksgiving
day Mrs Ford. who then resided at
Darby, was engaged in pouring out
tea Tor some guests. who had been
spending the afternoon with her.
Suddenly she ceased, her arms
dropped to her side, and from that
time to the present she has been pow
erless She then took to her bed,
and has remained there until she
died, requiring as much attention and
care as an infant To make matters
worse, she began to become exceed
ingly stout, and her weight increased
until her arms and extremities were
said to be double those of an ordinary
person in good health. She weighed
at least 500 pounds, and it required
four men to lift her from her bed.
With extreme difficulty the corpse
was brought down stairs, and laid out
in case measuring thirty-six inches
across. There being no supports
sufficiently strong to bear its weight,
it was laid upon the floor, and at the
funera: the case was placed sideways
on rollers, and taken out through the
front door.

The Russian civil service is de-
scribed in the London Times as arbi-
trary, idle, selfish, and even in the
highest ranks corrupt. Its members
seek nothing but their own advance
ment, they disregard all laws which
control their own will, and they are
specially hostile to all municipal au-
thority. They do not take small
brides, as they did, owing to better
pay; but they take large brides from
companies, ard use their information
to gamble on the stock exchange.
They hate subordinates of principle,
and in the higher ranks completely
seclude themselves from the people.

a Catholic statistician Claims that
out of the 100000 Of souls in the
United States, 5,761,242 are Roman
Catholics. They occupy 1920 sta
tions, chapels. and churches; they
have the service of 4,S73 priests, six
apostolic Wears, forty nine bishops,
nine arehbishopss, and one cardininal.
That they are increasing rapidly is
quite obvious. They already have
eighteen theological schools, or semi
naries, with nearly 1900 students:
over 2 900 schools, of all grades and
more than 300 asylums and hospitals
The jurisdiction of these prelates has
a very wide range, from 1900 souls in
the diocese of Little Rock, Arkansas,
to 100000 in that of Chicago, and
from the archbishopric of Oregon,
comprising 10000, to that of New
York, rated 10000. These figures are
stupendous.

The Springfield Republic has
this to say of the prospective candi-
date for Governor in our neighboring
State-and, from our observation,
the opinion expressed by the Repub-
lie, seems to be the prevailing senti
ment of all the leading Republican
papers in the Buckeye State:
"Our present opinion is that Judge
Taft is not only the strongest man,
but the best yet mentioned in connec-
ton with the Govcrnorship. and that
he would carry both Hamilton and
Lorain counties-the homes of the
German aud the Yankee-upon the
common platform of pure, honest
and capable man, and that new era
would be inaugurated in the State of
Ohio. If. however, better man is
discovered, We shall be glad to sup
port him"

The Senate will assemble, at the call Of the Pres
dent, for brief executive session. Nearly all the
new Senators are in town, and were at the Capital to-
day. The meeting viii be very brief, and merely for
the purpose Of organization. Steps will be TAKEN as
usual, to revive the committees.
The Hawaiian treaty probably win bethe 6rst BUSH
ness for consideration. It's friends urge that it is 10
every way, an exception to the general reciprocity
treaties and bears analogy to she Canadian as it
provides free market for American manufactures, in
which the manufactures Of other countries will pay
duties. thus protecting American manufactures in
Hawaii and gives admission only for those products
tina; do not compete with any similar products Of
America. The sugar Of Louisiana can never reach
the market Of San Francisco. Thus. the only sugar
interests affected will be that of the Dutch, British
or Spanish East Indies, which send sugar to San
francisco. Statistics of trade show that these eOun
tries altogether don't buy as many American goods
as Hawaii. The figures in regard to the treaty have
been greatly overstated but the political Importance
othe measure is fully appreciated BY those who have
examined into the matter 1t is understood that po-
litical articles will be inserted in the Senate. and
amendments made to the schedule of merchandise.
1t is stated that treaties with other nations will

Rclipses In 1875.

Great preparations arc being made by The
English astronomers in India to observe tho 10.
tal eclipse Of The sun. which is TO take place on
the 9th Of April next Their headquarters
will be at Bangkok, Siam, the King Of siam
having invited them to his capital, and offered
TO bear part Of the expenses of the expedition,
Many Of cur readers have noticed the fact
that only two eolipsea arc predicted for this
year, both Of tho san. and mono OF the moon.
This ia not a. rare an occurrence as some have
supposed, Tor It takes place three times during
the cycle of lsyears, For example, there were
but two eclipses, both Of the sun, in each Of
the years 1897, 1854 and lsos,
Although there viii be no lunar eelipsea this
year in the strict definition Of the term, yet the
moon will three times enter the earth's pennm-
bra, unheralded by the Nautical Almanac,
The effect upon her light will be so slight, that
the fact has not been considered worthy of men
ton in the almanacs.
The first Of these penumbral eclipses will
take place in the morning Of April goth, begin
ming at Sh Ssm 40 sec, A. NJ, and ending at
IN sam ssec., A. NJ, Honolulu time.
The magnitude of the eclipse will be O55,i G.
a little more than half of the moon will be i'm
mersed in the earth's penumbra.
The second eclipse, if itean be called so, will
take place early in the morning Of September
l4th, beginning at III 49m 52sec., A. NJ, and
ending at 3h I'm 37sec., A. NJ, Honolulu
time. The magnitude of this eclipse will
be only about one-sixteenth, on the moons n.
E. limb. The third will come of October 18th.
