Pride Of family and appreciation
Of oneself are innate and ineradica>
BILE instincts Of the heart, and are
commendable. We love to see any
one of sufficient pride not to tarnish
the family or degrade himself. We
love to see men reasonably proud Of
their success in life and of their
wealth, but we don't admire that
pride of money that makes men I'M
courteous to the common masses, ele
waiting their noses and treating all
with contempt who cannot wear as
fine clothes or show as many dollars.
We love to see a man proud of his
God given faculties and his intelIec-
tual requirements, and using them
to good advantage. Yes, even
bringing them into prominent notice
when appropriate circumstances,
suitable occasions and propEiety, will
admit, but candidly we have no rev.

those amenities of life that sheer

By-the-way we have a few of
these immodest. bloated fellows on

INFANT HRoNANT.

A BALLOON ascent was intended
at the recent fctcS at Jarry sur Marine,
France, the @ronant proposing to
take his own child to accompany him
in his aerial flight. The little lad,
eight years of age, was placed first
in the car, while some final prepare
tons were being carried out by the
father. The balloon yet remained
attached to the earth by single
cord, when the boy, unobserved,
managed to sever the rope, and to
the CONSERVATION Of its parent and
the terror Of the spectators, was
swiftly carried into the air by the
liberated machine. Ignorant of the
working or management of the ball
loon, there is reason to fear that the
infant ieronant has been either suffo.
Gated in the raritied currents Of air
or been precipitated from an inn
mense height. No news, however,
of the balloon or its hapless occupant
has been since received.

FRANKLIN Meas says Last Friday
night the negroes in our Jail con-
ceived the bright idea of burning out.
They procured some matches some
how and set fire to the floor of the
Jail. About ten o'clock at night they
gave the alarm Of fire, and the jailer
and several of our citizens fastened
to the jail, and on entering the cell,
found the black birds nearly suffoca,
ted and the floor burning rapidly. 1t
was with considerable difficulty the
fire was eXtinguished.

THE ANTECATHOLlC SOCIETY,".

THE ANTI-C 4 THOLiC SOCIETI.
The exposure of the anti Catholic secret society
noticed in another column, is possibly inaccurate
10 detail, but the main points as 70 the existence
and aims of the organization are doubtless fairly
stated. There was no great secret about it, last
Fall, during the progress Of our campaign. In
fact, the Tribune on one or two occasions received
letters from gentlemen supposed to hold impor-
tant positions in the society warning us that its
control over the vote would be much greater than
we were anticipating. Some Of its leaders conf
IDENTIFY expected to make it and the inexcusable
Gray Nuns bill effective as to defeat the Tlden
ticket by q majority nearly as great as that by
which Gov. Tilden had been elected the year be-
fore.-Iribane.
Mr.. Cowles, of the Cleveland Leader, was in
town yesterday and to-day, and went away this
evening. He was interviewed to-day concerning
the secret society referred to in the James G. Fos-
ter letter to Mr.. Blaine. He is reported as adj
hitting the existence Of such a society, and his
own connection with it. He says, however, that
neither the President, Mr.. Blaine. nor any others
of the prominent public men are connected with
it. lie denies that he came to initiate any mem
third term. lie says the document published in
the Herald Of to-day as the constitution Of the
ciety belonged to similar organization, now de-
funct, and Is not the constitution of the present
ciety. That Mr.. Cowles came here to talk the
subject over with prominent men, among whom
are Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Blaine, scarcely admits
of doubt.--reW York Times Washington Cor
resemblance Dee. o.
There is great deal of talk going on about a
new secret society, which is designed, among
other things, to abolish Popery and elect Gen.
Grant for a third time. The Herald publishes
what it calls the constitution of this society, but
Mr. Cowles, a member of il, says that this docu-
page out Of an old almanac. 1t has also been said
that the President is enrolled as member, and
Mr. Cowles denies this likewise. What the soci-
ETY. really is, what are its aims, and who are the
members of it, seem at present to be secrets. They
are secrets concerning which it does not appear to
be worth while for the general public to concern
itself very deeply The day has gone by when
organizations of this kind could have much
weight. The newspapers are too powerful for
them. The invention Of "grip" and "pass.
word" and "rites of initiation" and all the rest Of
the mummery, may afford little harmless amuse
ment to a few men here and there; but we shall
not believe that this machinery can turn the tide
Of q Presidential election until we see il done.
Then, Of course, We shall be willing 10 acknowl.
edge that the "march oc isteneet" had not
marched quite so far as We supposed.-Times FL.
