ARCHBISHOP PURCELL AND THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Roman Catholics are just now
playing possum with reference to the
public schools This will hold until
after the election, but it has served to
call out the following ''reminiscenee,"
so to speak, from an old citizen:

If you will refer to the files of the Gin
einnati Gazette between the year 1S34-5,
perhaps 1886, you will learn that at that
period he manifested 81. excess of zeal
in favor of the Ohio public schools, and
if my memOry be correct, he contrived
to secure, 10 some extent, their manage
ment in your city.
While this was his assumed position
before the Cincinnati public, the late

papal journal i'll Vienna, Austria, let
ter, in either the French, or German
language, addressed by Bishop Purcell
to some one in that city. He expressed
strongly his enmi.y to the 'Ungodly
Schools" of Ohio, and said it panied his
heart to pass one of the schoOl-houses,
or work. 80 that amount.
Mr.. Jewett transmitted the letter, to-
gether with a literal translation, to the
Cincinnati Gdzetie Mr.. Hammond forth

Bishop was playing IA deceptive part in
relation to the public schools, which
called forth n prompt and furious denial
from the Bishop.

in future silence on the Bishops part
from that day to the present, so far as

facts. write that which know and

TILTON AT HOME.

The fourth of July found TiltOn at
at home, hard at work. For the first
time in many months the blinds in the
front room We're thrown open, and at
the open window was seen the figure OF
Miss Florence Tilton, his daughter, dress
ed in white. The intelligence and eul-
ture of this young lady are spoken of
highly by all who know her. She has
certainly been faithful and helping to
her father throughout the disastrous-lit-
igation which has broken her home, and
which, it is believed, she endeavOred by
all the influence she could bring to bear
upon him to avert.
Mr.. TiltOn came down to greet the
writer with little portable writing case
in his hand and a pen behind his ear.
His manner was frank and joyous. 1t
seemed rs though a great load had been
lifted from his mind by the conclusion
of the case Everything in the house
seemed brighter than it had for months.
Even the dingy old pictures on the walls
the more diDgy the more valuable, say
the cognOseeHtj-put on an air of cheer
fuIness and welcome. Above the square
piano in the front room still hangs an
excellent painting of Mrs. Tilton, by
Page, taken in one of her most girlish
moments, and representing her with
those long black ringlets which visitors
in Livingstone street remember so well.
Il see you are busy writing, Mr.. Til
ton" said the reporter. Then remem-
bering that some time ago Mr.. Norman
L. Munro, of the family story paper, had
offered Mr.. Tilton fifty dollars column
for a story, ne asked whether that might
be the work on which Mr. Tilton was at
that moment engaged.
From his answer it was gathered thatMr
Tilton is engaged upon book of some
work, or a resume Of the trial, could not
be gathered. Mr.. TiltOn distinctly stat
ed, however, that he had no intention
of renewing the fight against Mr.. Beech
er,declarinG that he must ''get TO work,
and could not spend his whole life in
''fighting this thing"
The lecture engagements he has al
ready entered into have already been
referred to in these columns. and it is
no breach of faith to say that Mr.. Til
tons time will be fully occupied on the
platform during the coming season

THE TWO FRIENDS; Or
HOW TO WIN.

The evidence Of WnltOn's systematic
periidy amazed James. He had known
him for years, and though lac was aware
how reckless and imprudent lac could be
he did not suppose him capable of sucll
deliberate malice But he had not seen
him exposed TO temptation. which is the
great test of character.
The result of these explanations was
thatJames became EIlie's accepted lover,
and the marriage was fixed at an early
date.
Before that period arrived, however,
he had an opportunity of purchasing n
small but well-fitted printing-office, pay
ing down five hundred dollars in cash.
leaving an unpaid residue which by
agreement was TO remain for two years.
Mr.. Black heartily sanctioned the pur-
chase, and offered linn an advance of
money for the purpose. But James told
him he had sufficient, Notwithstanding
the two hundred dollars lost byWalton's
perfidy.
Just before the marriage, ElIie's own
bank money was employed for the pur-
ehase Of q pretty little suburban cottage.
The price of the cottage, with about half
an ace Of ground, was two Thousand
dollars. One thousand was PAID down,
and the residue obtained from n mort
gage on the cottage.
70 this cottage james conducted his
wife, and there they have lived ever since.
The printing-OfIice proved good invest

LOW FREIGHTS.



The grievances Of the granger, so far
as related TO the transportation question
would seem to have vanished out of
sight Freights by the lake, canal and
railway we're never so low as during this
season. The Buffalo ErpTeSsof July
says that for several days the rate from
Chicago to that port by lake, either
steam or sail vesselz, has been2 cents
per bushei for wheat and II cents per
bashel for corn, and out of this the YES
sci pays about 1-2 cent per bushel for
diseharging at the latter place. The
present rates by canal from Buffalo to
New York are IA cents per bushei for
wheat, and 6 SIS cents per bushel for
corn. The lowest rate, however, reach
ed this season was 3-S cents for wheat,
cents for corn about the first OF the
month. In consequence of an elevator
contest at Buffalo, the grain passes free
OF elevation charges. Thus the cost of
transportation through from Chicago to
New York by lake and canal is only 97S
cents per busheI for wheat, and rs
cents per.bushel for corn. This is with
out parallel. The average rate for the
month of June was cents per bushel
for wheat, and % cents per bushel for
corn on Lake from Chicago to Buffalo,
and as cents per bushel for wheat, 6.3
cents per bushel for ecrn on canal from
Buffalo to New York. The only years
in which the record approaches these
figures were 1874, 1858 and 1859. The
average lake freights for the month OF
June was then "a cents per bushel tor
wheat, 80 cents per bushel for corn in
1874, 4.2 cents per bushel for wheat, 81
cents per bushel for corn in 1883, and
Al cents per bushel for wheat, 3.7eents
per bushel for corn in the year 1855
The average canal freight for the month
of June was 113 cents per bushel for
corn in 1875, 11.2 cents per bushel for
wheat, 81 cents per bushel for corn in
1859, and IO.G cents per bushel for corn
in the year 1858
