THE REBUILDING OF ST. FETER's
AT ROME.

Everybody knows that Michel Angelo
repaired to Rome a second time, at the
solicitation OF Pope julius IL. The lat
ter wished to construct a mausoleum for
himself superior to any that had ever
been erected. Michel Angelo was
charged with the work, and thereupon
commenced a design worthy of himself
and patron. This design was a parallel
ograul. and the superstruc5ure was to
consist OF forty statues, many OF which
to be colossal, and interspersed with or
namental figures and bronze bassi relievi,
besides the necessary architecture, with
appropropriate decorations, to unite the
composition into one stupendous whole.
The Pope was pleased with the design,
and inquired the expense. ga hundred
thousand crowns, said the artist. "Let
it be twice that sum, If it need be- CON
timed julius, and he Immediately gave
orders to execute the work.
1t suggested to the Pope that such
monument ought to have a special chap
Ell built expressly for it, and that ST.
Peters being an old church, was not at
all adapted to the purpose
81 will rebuild St. Peter's.' exclaim-
ed the Pope. This was the beginning of
an edifice which took fifty years to COM
plete, which consumed the fortunes Of
millions, gave rise to the sale Of indul-
gencies, and, though unexpectedly, laid
the first stone Of The Reformation.
Albeit, it is now the grandest display of
architectural splendor that adorns the
Christian world.
The proposed execution of the maui
solemn was only q comedy of many acts
and scenes. The order had been given,
and the blocks of marble awaited the
click of the chisel. Michel Angelo So
hcited the Pope for money to pay his
assistants, and was refused. Resolved
to seek some explanation, he repaired to
the pontifcial palace, where a servant
denied him entrance, saying, "Excuse
me: [ have express commands not to
admit you, without troubling myself
why Michel Angelo returned home
and addressed the following: ''Most
Holy Father: was this morning driven
from the palace by order of your Holt
ness. If you require me in future, yor
can seek me elsewhere than in Rome"
Soon after he gave orders for the dis
posal of his possessions, mounted his
horse, and galloped toward Florence

WHEN the Milwaukee Sentinel was

WHEN the Milwaukee Sentinel was I'M
der the control of two Democrats der
main and Brightman) it was recognized
as the leading Republican paper OF the
State. Since it passed into the control
of undoubted Republicans it has done
the party more harm than any Demo
cratic paper in the State. It's present
fight on Judge Small is SO plainly o mat
ter Of personal rancor that il is disoredit-
able to the paper aud uninteresting to the
public. There is so much honest work
for the leading Republican PAPER" of
the State to do that it is painful to see
it frittering away its influence upon pet
ty personal squabbles.

precarious and doubtful business. Be-
sides it needs to be conducted BY those
who have made it study. The grange
passed the following healthy resolutions
at its meeting at Louiston last month:
Rssolved, That the specie basis theory is :
humbug, and that our preaent greenbacks are
the best circulating medium the people ever
had, and should be made legal tender for al
debts.
Resolved, That we believe the legislature
should pass law creating school book pub
fishing board, whose duty it should be to pre-
pare sufficient quantity ot school books for
every district in the State Of Illinois, and fnrn-
ish them to all wanting them 1t coet
Resolue4, That we look with favor upon the

and believe they afford the cheapest and mos'
reliable insurance to farmers.

"The raven is hoarse

We trust the wisdom Of the corpora
tions and the moderation of tho people
will prevent any such results as are there
in depicted; nevertheless We can see
plainly that il the Supreme Court Of the
United States makes another Dred Scott
decision, and declares that the people are
powerless in the hands Of the corpora
tions, there will be no relief save IN
amendment to the constitution or revolu-
ton. God forbid that the last alterna-
tive should ever be presented to US! We
trust never again to hear the hoarse roar
Of the cannon IN our land. We cannot.
we will not believe that the madness
Of men will ever again unel,ain those hor-
rible passions Of the human heart. Wal

disease which proyokes it, and it leave:
wounds upon the breast Of civilization
which centuries cannot altogether heal.

Frontier Relief.

Y Of the corps Of officers sent out from
military headquarters at st. Paul., to ID.
vestigate and report upon the needy and
suffering on our frontier from grasshop-
per devastation, Col. Mcclure and Lieut..
Scott are still absent, being in Dakota
Territory, and from whence Capt. Tisdell
arrived this morning. The two officers
still out are expected in before the close
Of the week, when the joint report Of all
officers engaged will be made up and the
distribution at once begun. The search
thus far made. as might be supposed. has
developed various instances Of fraud, yet
the discovery and proper rebuke Of which
will only serve to render the aid given to
those truly deserving the more appreci-
able.
While it. is impossible to give at this
time a numerical statement Of the lists Of
sufferers in the several counties and dis
tricts Of country already visited, yet
enough is known to warrant the assertion
that the total number will he consider
ably less than has been generally sup
posed.

George Alfred Townsend writes to the

of an interview with the witness Cooke, .

The Importance Of the testimony Of the
witness, Cooke, was so great that at the

Beecher is guilty or the subject Of . con-
spiracy!" :.
Cooke. Il have believed from the time
saw Tilton's statement, last summer,
that this charge against Beecher was false.
It began in Tilton's envy. Frank Noultpn
