TRADE IN SERMONS IN ENGLAND.

The following letter, published in the
London Times, of the 2lst of May, is an
evidence of the growth Of the sermon
trade in England;
GAS next Saturday nearly three hun
dred men will take holy orders, 1t seems
suitable time to ask attention to the
existence of branch of industry ser-
ously affecting their usefulness and re-
spectability mean the sermon trade,
of recent but rapid growth, arising in
great measure from the following causes;
Ourpublic schools and universities, while
providing admirably for liberal educa-
ton in classics and mathematics, do not
as rule sufficiently train their pupils IN
English composition. The theological
colleges, with rare exceptions, imperfect
ly ysupply the defect, even in that special
part Of the work, the preparation OF SER
mons. The result is that very few can
didates for holy orders have ever written
a sermon, and generally made the first
attempt the day after their ordination.
Then the effort is so great, the ability SO
small, the time SO limited, the parish
work so urgent, that many an unhappy
curate utterly breaks down and is driven
to adopt very questionable expedients to
meet the emergency. Borrowing from
friends, copying from books, buying old
manuscripts are tried in turn; till at last,
IN sheer despair, he yields to the tempt
ing proposal in sermon-purveyors cir
cular of a regular supply of original SER
mons at l9s Cd a quarter in strict con-
fidence. He lulls conscience to sleep,
breaches another mans discourse as his
own, and deceives any lynx-eyed men,
bers of his congregation whose seats com
mand the pulpit by placing on his velvet
cushion Autographed imitation ofhand-
writing, instead of plain honest print.
"In some cases, the fatal step once, ia
ken, the indulgence goes on for years,
even in the case of some good men whose
feeble health or overwork may palliate
the fault, if it does not Justify the prac-
tice. Little or no study is required; a
quarterly payment secures all thai is
necessary, and both parties are satisfied
with the compact. But if the compunc-
UlOIlS VI CUuSCltuCC dI0 lOlVj anu wv Wv
tim desires 20 be free, this aspect ofatfairs
soon alters. The purveyor insists on the
{ subscriber continuing in chains; sends
packet after packet in spite of the re.
monstrance; charges guinea instead Of
13s cd if in arrear, and threatens legal
proceedings and exposure by letter or
postal-card to church wardens if payment
is refused. Nor are these threats vain.
One of the fraternity recently summoned
fifteen clergymen from all parts Of Eng
land to a country court, seven of whom
paid into court, five appeared, and three
cases were withdrawn "r eH
"Now, isir,lI venture to solicit your
powerful aid, What are the clergy to do
in such circumstances / do not speak
of those who systematically encourage
this trade, for they deserve their fate;,
but Eallude to such as have lithograPh

The Republicans are claiming that
Gov. Hayes is their strongest and most
popular man. By the following figures
Gov. Hayes has not made very creditable
runs when a candidate. Letitberemem-
bered that Ohio, previous to the election
Of Mr.. Allen, had not had a Democratic
Governor for twenty years. The follow
inc are the maiorities given the Republi-
can heads of the ticket three years pre-
yious to his first candidacy:
1865 for Governor, Cox, Rep 2S,SS6
1865, for Secretary Of State, Smith, 49,
'DF Rep. 2, !..,,. ...,,..! ..,,, 42,098

1870, for Secretary Of State, Sher-
m wood, Rep .,,,,,lt,tat., l6,695
1871, for SGe' Governor, Noyes' Rep 2O'1eo
It will be noticed that the majorfties
given for General Hayes are less than
those given to any Republican candidate
for Governor or State officer elected since
1857, when Governor Chase was elected
over H. B. Payne of SOB majority. These
fgues do not give any very satisfactory
evidence of the popularity ofMr. Hayes.
There has been an entire change in pub
lie sentiment since Hayes was last before
the people, and Judging from his popu-
larity, attested by the above record, he
will be overwhelmingly defeated.

After the Address Of Mr.. Mayo, Presl-
dent Orton briefly addressed the audi
ence, referring to the fact that the insu'
tuition had recently been brought INTO
more extensive public notice than ever
before by the visit of the Editorial Asso-
citation. He said the editors were pleas,
ed TO express themselves as surprised AZ
the equipment of the college, and ne de-
sired that the audience present yesterday
should have an opportunity 10 inspsct
the various departments ne cordlally
invited those present to visit the various
rooms of the building All accepted the
invitation with alacrlty, and the mem.
bers of the Faculty and Assistants spent
nearly two hours, patiently answering
Questions, and exhibiting the facilities
of the college. The department OF Zool-
ogy and Comparative Anatomy under
Prof. Albert H. Tuttle, was especially IN
teresting on account of the excellent coli
lection that has been made in so short
time. In the department. OF Physics ana
Mechanics, Prof. T. G. Mendenhall intro
duced number Of very fine experiments.
He was assisted in his work by DR. Q, Leo
Mees and several students. Altogether
the afternoon was most pleasantly and
proftably spent The address OF Mr..
Mayo more than repaid the audience for
their attendance, and the inspectionloi
the building and equipment was ane extra
calculated to make everybody proud OF
what has been accomplished in two
years. .,
The college year closed with seventy
students. The next term will commence
on Wednesday, September 10th.

GEN CARPS RECORD OF POPU-
LARITY.

The absurdity Of the Commercials at
tack upon General Cary because, for
sooth, he was in lS49 temperance lec-
turer is well evinced by the fact that on
since he has been candidate
for Congress in the Second district oi
Hamilton county, and nothing was Said
in relation thereto The district has more
LIQUOR saloons than any other in the
United States. In his first canvas in
1867, while Hayes, the Republican can.
didate for Governor, was 1900 in a mi
nority, General Cary was chosen Repre-
resentat'ye ye in Congress from the Second
District by 900 votes. He was that much
better than Judge Thurman, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor. In 1868,
while the Republican majority in the
district was ten or eleven hundred on
the Republican ticket, Cary was defeated
by less than Eve hundred. His com
petitor was one of the most talented and
popular of the Republicans in the city,
We refer to Job Stevenson. In 1870 ne
was again candidate, and was defeated
by some hundreds less than was record
ed against his confreres on the ticket
Let those who say he is unpopular look

THE infamy of the men who are at
tempting to excite religious intolerance
in Ohio, that the Republican party may
be saved, is shown by this extract from
an editorial in the indianapolis Journal
of recent date; H .0
at is now generally believed that the
leaders of the Democracy in Ohio had a
secret understanding with the authorities
of the Roman Catholic Ohurch-a sort Of
dispeusation--by which the former were
to be permitted to adopt a resolution
against dividing theSchoal Fund without
forfeitihg the Catholic support. This is
no idle political charge. There is strong
circumstantial evidence to supportit Up
to a few days before the meeting Of the
Convention the Catholic papers were
bold and positive in their utteranCes re-
garding the duty of the Democratic party
and what it must do ifit expected to re-
ceive the Catholic vote. The Sunday be-
fore the Convention met Gov. Allen
spent In Cincinnati, and it so happened
that some high dignitaries Of the Catholic
Church were there at the same time in
consultation with Archbishop Purcell It
is not susceptible of proof that a confer
ence took place between Allen and them,
but the fact that four days later the Con-
vention passed just such'a resolution as
the Catholic papers had been saying they
must not pass. and that these papers
support the ticket, showsithere is some
understanding on the subject" 10Y D.
This is simple scoundrelism. Such
stuff can only excite the disgust Of think
ing, sensible men, and we reproduce it
that our readers may see the extent to
which the organs Of the dead Republican
party go in this their hour of bitterness
and disappointment. If the Know
Nothing crusade in Ohio is to be fed
upon such diet, it will not be very stall
wart movement. s.

THE Daily, Courier of Chicago, which
heretofore has been an Independent pa
per- in recent issue, comes out against
the Republican party. In regard to this
action, the Courier says;
oThis indictment of the Republican
party is made by the Courier with no
purpose to detract fIom the past glory of
the organization. The party which was
led by Lincoln, Seward, Chase and Sum-
ner has passed away. It's record is writ
ten on the monuments of history and
will be read with pride by the American
people. 1t has now become the sport
and plaything of politicians and place
hunters. The "old guard" that gave it
birth-succored it-in its infancy, and
brought it up to vigorous manhood, are
now either in their graves or in open
warfare against it. Their places are oc-
cupied by such men as Grant, Logan,
Morton, Cameron and Butler, all aliens
to its principles, and in no manner iden-
titled with its early existence. The peo-
pie have weighed the Republican party
of to-day in the bacance and have found
it wanting. They demand another party,
another set of statesmen, another decla-
ration of principles that are not mere
idle words, but have for their basis hon
esty and accountability in our public af-
fairs The Courier recognizing the chang
ed condition of things and the pressing
need of the country for reform, will from
this time forward unite with all sincere
and honest men who desire the displace-
ment of the party in power and the
establishment of our governmental at
fairs on new and better basis"

SALEM.

Almost everybody visiting Salem from
this part ofthe country makes it point
to stop at Dellenbaughs American Hotel,
and the reason is that the accommoda-
tons are first class, and that everything is
done for the comfort and pleasure Of the
guests. Two things connected with this
Hotel tend to make it popular-courte-
GUS and obliging host and clerks, and a
well-speqd table. Everybody should
stop at the American.

The nomination of ofex-Gov. Hayes, who
has been Governor of Ohio from 1867
until 1871, can be construed into an en-
dorsement of a third term for Grant.
Hayes accepted a nomination for third
term because it was thought he could
save the Republican party Of Ohio. Gen.
Grant says the time may come when a
third term for President will be neces-
sary to save the Republic. As nearly all
Republicans believe that the Republican
party constitutes the Government, we
are not compelled to travel great dis
lance to form conclusion. ni ,]I9d

CONTEMPTIBLE DECEPTION.

The Democrats are making a great
blow over the great economy of the last
Legislature. They say that State taxes
have been reduced largely. Will some of
these gentlemen please show what pro-
visions have been made to pay off nearly
100000, State debt, payable at the op-
ton of the State, January l, 1876? Gov--
ernor Allen recommended that prOUisi0a be
made to pay off these bonds. but there IS no
money provided for that purpose, for Demo
crats desired ito be said that they lolUered
tdGeS. .a.... .l
The obiectin failing to collect State taxes
enough this year to pay off all the matur-
ing State debt is to try to deceive the
people of the State, and induce them to
re-elect this Wood County, Geehan bill

duct is criminal but consistent in the
eyes of modern Democracy. Holmes Co.

The General revenue fund, according to
the statement of the auditor of State, was
indebted S190000 to the Sinking Fund,
which, in his especial report of February
II, 1878, he said could be paid after the
February of 1875. The Legislature com
manded that payment, and it further
more commanded the payment ofat least
two hundred thousand dollars to the

Your Age.

There is good deal OF amusement in
the following magical table of figures.
1t will enable you to tell how old tho
young ladies are. just hand this table
to young lady, and request her to tell
you in which column or columns her age
is contained; add together the figures at
the top of the columns in which her age
is found, and you have the great secret.
Thus, suppose her age to be seventeen, you
will find that number in the first and
fiflh columns; add the first figures Of
these two columns. Here is the magic
table
