Civfl Rfxhts.

What is Civil Right?" It is a
right which man enjoys as a citizen.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness are among such rights; but it il
not necessary to a mans existence
that he should put up at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel; it is not the condition
OF his liberty that he should attend
the opera, and it is by no means es-
sentlal to his happiness that he should
drink wine at the bar of the st. Mich
Olas. Per contra. it may be necessary
to the existence of barber as bar
Der that he should wait upon those
only whose patronage he desires; it is
certainly necessary both to his liberty
and happiness. We gain little if while
emancipating one class We enslave
another. Particularly in all matters
of trade fussy limitations and petty
restrictions are irritating, because
men feel them to be unphilosophical.
1t is hard certainly that man should
be refused accommodation at an inn
on account of his complexion. But
white men are cOnstanstly refused
lodgings for less reasons-because the
gentlemanly clerk does not like their
appearance; because they are shabby
and have no baggage; because all the
rooms are reserved for favorites of the
house. who at the moment may be
many hundred miles away. Thsse are
hardships and indecorums which the
law will hardly reach, and when a
white man is refused admission to one
inn. he usually swallows his wrath
and seeks another. At common law
he may bring an action, but no one
ever thinks of such resent In the
long run, landlords and BARRIERS and
theatrical managers will have matters
their own way, and this simply be-
cause the number of those who will
care to annoy them will prove exceed
ingly small. [nformers, making a
profession of informing, never thrive
in this country. As for the civil right
of b to compel A to trade with him,
it doesn't exist by law of nature, and
it can never have healthy existence
under the law of the land Ifany one
supposes that in making these re-
marks we are actuated by prejudice,
he is very much mistaken. We have
advocated and intend to advocate per-
feet equality before the law; and while
law is law we heartily advise every
body to obey it. At the same time we
know that there are wise and foolish,
practicable and impracticable, neces-
sary and unnecessary laws; and while
large bodies of representatives re-
eeive handsome salaries for enacting
new statutes and amending old ones,
the supply, to say the least, will be
quite equal to the demand. Add to
this that law manufacturers are not
without exception philosophers, and
it will be apparent that repeal will be
quite as much the bushes of Legis-
latures as enactlnent.-New York
Tribune.

The New York World is a Demo
cratic paper, but it has not sunk to
the depths of the leaders OF it's party
in Ohio. It speaks thus plainly on
the attempt to proselyte school chill
dren at the public expense: The
proposition of the Vicar-General to
combine the parochial schools of the
Roman Catholic Church with the
common schools shall be adjoined to
the common schools is taking more
definite shape than it assumed in the
inoffensive suggestion with which it
began. 1t is now proposed that the
Roman Catholic schools shall be adj
joined to the common school system;
in effect, that the State shall pay for
the maintenance of those schools. In
this proposition we fail to find reason
or justice. One of the Roman Catho-
lie gentlemen who were visited by our
reporter said that the tendency of the
common schools was in opposition to
Catholicism. The State then is ask
ed to maintain a system of instruction
to which it is in opposition. How
can the State so stultify itself?
In the impartial view of the State
the Roman Church is entitled to the
same protection, and no more, that is
extended to the weakest sect of be-
levers in any form of religion what
ever. If the Roman Catholic schools
are supported wholly or mainly at the
public expense we may be sure that
the sects which have not emulated the
admirable enterprise Of the Roman
Catholics in supporting their own
schools will be ready enough to take
advantage of the cheap method OF in
culcating their own beliefs which the
enactment of the pending proposition
would secure them. In this way we
should have common schools" not
only of every Protestant variety, but
of Jews, and, for anything we can tell,
ultimately of Chinese scholars, and
the secular common school system
would no longer be used, except as
kind of Potter's field of education by
the unclassifed children of unknown
or perfectly careless parents. Com
pulsory education adds a new reason
why the proposition should not be
adopted.
The children who are compelled to
attend some school may be compelled
to attend the religious common school
as we'll as the secular, and the State
will thus appear as a direct agent in
procuring proselytes tor such schools
as are added to its system by the sects.
There is. no way of preserving the
school system except by keeping com
mon school education absolutely Sec
ular, and this applies to the advocates
of the Bible in the schools on the
one hand, as we'll as to the advocates
of parochial schools on the other. 1t
would be good thing if, by leaving
out such religious exercises as are
now performed in the schools, all the
sects would he satisfied, and use their
own schools only to supplement the
secular instruction of the public
schools, but on no account ought any
positive religious incubation to be
permitted in schools supported by
taxation.-Cin Gaz.

Fruit Report.

Wills II. Corbly, of the Sixth Street
Fruit Commission, informed us, yes
terday, that he examined all the fruit
trees on his two farms, at Mount
Washington, yesterday morning, and
is quite disheartened by the result of
his observations. He says that all
mis- apples are killed, even the latest
varieties not escaping the ruinous
frost Pears nearly all gone. Peaches
all killed. Cherries nearly all gone;
and this applies to all the varieties of
the fruits mentioned Most of the
straw berry plants not killed during
the winter are frozen in the bud, and
those at all developed are blackened
beyond hope of salvation. Mr.. Cor
bly, has two farms, one on the Miami
hill tops and one in the valley, but
the fruit is alike affected on both
farms. Even the old Robson apple is
gone; and he is only too sorry to say
that his examination is echoed from
adjoining farms By other growers

The night of the I'd Of September,
1868, was one long remembered in
England. A fearful storm passed
over the country, unroofng houses,
uprooting trees half century old,
and strewing the shores with the
wrecks of unfortunate vessels. While
this commotion was passing without,
a mighty soldier lay dying at Hampton
Court. Oliver Cromwell, the wise
sovereign and victorious soldier, worn
out with disease and the death of his
fayorite child, was fighting the last
great battle of his life. just as the
sun was setting, on the Sd of Septem-
Der, the anniversary Of two Of his
most celebrated battles, England's
greatest ruler passed away, with a
prayer upon his lips, and q smile
lowering over his wasted features.
Cromwell's body was embalmed,
and with pomp which, as Macaulay
tells US, was never before witnessed
in England, was laid to rest in West
minister Abby. Here for eighteen
months it remained, when the profit
gate Charles H., being restored to
the throne, dragged his body from
the tomb, hung it upon the gibbet at
Tyburn, and fastening the head upon
a. pike, placed it upon Westminster
Hall, where for twenty years it re-
NAMED exposed to the scorching heat
of summer aud pitiless storms of
winter. az
But now the head of Cromwell has
once more found resting place, and
strange to say, has become the keep
sake Of lady. After so long an ex-
posture to wind and weather, it is not
surprising that finally the pike was
broken and the head thrown down.
1t was picked up by common soldier.
and kept by.him till inquiry was over,
afterwards conveyed to a friend, and
finally has come through a succession
of families which can be easily traced
into the hands Of its present possessor.
a daughter of the Hon. Mr.. Wilkinson,
member of Parliament from Bucking-
ham and Bromley.
My authority adds that the head is
almost entire, the flesh black and
sunken, but the features nearly per-
feet, and the hair still remaining.
Even the large wart over one of the
eyes, distinctive mark of Cromwell's
face, is still visible Tue pike which
was thrust into the neck may still be :
seen, the iron part nearly rusted of,
the wooden portion in splinters. It
is an historical fact that Cromwell was
and that no other person
thus cared for was ever beheaded, but
how curious that the head of so illus
trious general, so powerful a mon
arch, should finally pass into the keep
ing of lady. Since writing the above
nm article has appeared in the London
Times confirming it.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says that the way to ban
ish rats is, plant asphodeal near the
barn or stable where they are, or put
some in their holes. Rats have such
an aversion for this plant that they
will quit the premises where 1t is. If
they are in drains or in cellars, scat
ter sulphate of iron (copperas) in their
runs. The copperas should not be
dissolved. It is our best and cheap
est disinfectant. The sulphuric acid
burns their feet, and they leave in a
short time without dying. This will
be appreciated by every housekeeper
that has had to endure the stencil of
a dead rat.

The Ohio Prohibitionists are going
through the motions again. They
have never yet elected anybody, and
probably never will; but they can
draw off votes enough from Republi-
can candidates occasionally to elect
whisky Democrats to the Legislature

they are abused by these same Demo-
Gratis. These Prohibitionists are very
good fellows, but they might acquire
little more practical wisdom without

Notwithstanding constant care to
avoid making mistakes by the P. NJ.
and his employees. in the line of dis
tributing the mails, some will occur
with the most expert and pains taking.
To avoid committing errors altogether
is the difficult lesson to learn in life,
and, taking this view as fixed axiom,
almost everybody must be specially
lenient towards each other, is the
charitable rule-the exception, how
ever, are the P. NJ and his assistants
The errors committed by them are
not to be considered accidental; they
are willful and premeditated, of
course, and could be always avoided

the failure of his New Paris, Ohio

trouble complained of in the time of

the "only one left then. The mail

it too good an opportunity to give

failed to make out case of iustifiable
complaint for not opening the office
one Sunday, on time; which was sufi-

lay. Again he failed in the complaint
he made regarding the delay of his
Jacksonburg packet, in which he was
corrected by Postmaster johnson, of
Cambridge, who informed him that
the mail left Cambridge for that point
only once week at 2 P. NJ. Saturday,
and his paper started from here at B

to lay over at Cambridge for one

Our old friend and fellow citizen
WILLIAM CHEEsMAN, tells us that
forty-f years ago, on the 9th of
this present month (April), he
commenced carrying the mails from
Richmond to Indianapolis-his
first trip was on the 9th of April,
1880, on horse back-when mail
facilities between the two places
lengthened to forty eight hours
sometimes more. owing to the con
dition of the roads; now, the mails
are received and dispatched each
way every twenty-four hours.
