FAMOUS HEARTS.

We are not sure that Byron's should be
reckoned among lost hearts, but We have
somewhere read that when it was resolved
to send his body from Missolonghi to Eng.
land, the Creeks entreated that the heart
of the poet-who dreamed that Greece
might still be free, and wrought his best 10
make the dream reality-might be left to
them. Their claim was allowed, and they
enclosed the precious relic in silver cas-
ket. When the fall OF Missolonghi could no
longer be averted, party of its defenders
sailed forth, bearing the heart with them,
to cut their way through the Turkish army.
The attempt was successful one, but the
heart Of the distinguished Englishman was
left with many brave Greek in the marsh
the desperate band lad passed. Napoleon's
came nigh to suffer 4 more ignoble fate. 1t
had been removed Ircm the great captains
body to be put in a separate case; and,
fearing Madame Bertrand might steal it,
since she had declared her determination
to become its possessor. the doctor in charge
placed the heart in glass upon his bed
room table. In the middle of the night
the sound OF breaking glass startled him
out OF doze just in time to enable him to
detect brown rat dragging the Er.peror's
heart towards bis hole. The doctor res
cued it, fastened it in silver urn, and
placed it in the coffin with the body; but
had he slept little more soundly the
heart OF imperial Cesar dead" would have
served as tit-bit for rats supper.

A FAILURE.

The Kansas City Times of yesterday, IN
an editorial article Oh the X ansas City I'm.
position, says:
We observe .ih pain that the journal
lists who have been with us, while compli-
menting our city ON the pecuniary success
OF the enterprise, are generally giving a
very decided expression to their disap-
poIntinent in the exhibition. Instead of
improving every year in scope and attract
lveness, as was expected, they notice evil
dences Of deterioration - compared with
former years, and though they seem dis
posed to make large allowances for the ef-
feet Of the grasshopper raid, it is evident
that they regard it as rapidly degenerating
into catchpenny show.
1t Is unfortunate, TO say the least, that
such an impression is abroad, and some
thing should be done 10 oounteract it. A
great many stories Of meanness and money!
getting narroTness on the part OF the man
agement are afoat, and they should be
stopped by turning over a new leaf. All
the success the Exposition has achieved, il
owes 10 the public spirit with which the
people have sustained it as public insti-
tuition. As mere catch-lenny show for
private profit rapidly degenerating into
sham and disgrace TO the city, they will
drop IT as promptly as they lifted it,
After the above plain, frank, candid adj
mission the Kansas City papers cannot
say that We were prompted by
feelings OF enmity, when, three days ago,
We said that the fair was a failure. The
Tunes goes farther, and says it was "mere
show" The same paper asks
why was 1t not success? We answer, be-
'ause JEFF. Davis was lionized on the coca
non. We trust that next year the blunder
will rot be repeated.

high BEEF.

The prohibition by the British govern
ment of the importation of beef into Eng.
land iron the remainder Of Europe, cause.
a lively cutlery in the press and a general
fear OF beef famine. The 'roast" beef OF
old England, the sold, old English roas,
beef," is nowadays brought from all parts
OF the world; even Australia and Texas
contributing their share, but in shape no.
palatable 10 the average John Bull, who
hates stews, and wants "slice Of the Joint. y
The prevalence of cattle diseases on the
European Continent makes it imprudent to
permit the importation of live stock into
England from there. But why should we
not send them cattle from the United States
and Canada? We already do something in
this way, mostly, We believe in slaughtered
carcasses, which are sent over on ice, or in
huge refrigerators. During the winter meat
could be carried with but little provision
against spelling on the passage, and We
call the attention of butchers and stock
dealers to this trade, which might, we sus-
pect, be made very profitable. 1t would be
to zee John Bull waning a Joint

TIE SCHOOL QUESTION.

The recent election in New jersey, the
campaign in Ohio, and the late Eyangeli-
al Conference at Sea Grove, Cape Nav,
have called especial attention to the dis
agreements between Catholics and non
Catholics on the school question and kin
dred topics, and some OF our religious ex-
changes this week have different opinions
thereon. The Boston IflOt fully agrees
With us that 'the popular heart is
with popular education" and adds, so is
he Catholic heart. But il says unques-
uOnably Catholics distrEst the public
schools; and they cannot do otherwise
since there is hardly Catholic child edu-
Gated in the public schools who has not
heard teacher sneer at "Ro;aanists" and
their priests. We venture to doubt and
dispute this statement OF the Plot, so far as
teavenworth is concerned. For though we
nave only one or two Catholic teachers, il
hat many, in our schools, yet the high
itandIng OF the majority OF the instructors,
1recludes the possibility of their being gov
med by bigoted or fanatical prejudices.
The Pho thinks there are two settlements
ii this school question to be made, the one
theological and the other political; and to
carry the former into the latter is mistake,
they must lie settled separately-the former
by the Church and the latter by the people
1T the polls. The hadepeadent cries out for
lair treatment for Catholics on this great
Question, and insists that they are right in
opposing any political party or clique that

'osed amendments to their constitution or
IN give any better reason for the vote re-
luired OF him than that it is vote against
.atholics, in which they make, according
o the Journal great mistake. The Jour
al calls this persecution, and declares
nat those who prosecute Catholics are do
ng the most good. The Golden Age gives
wo reasons why it thinks the discussion of
his question at all is superiuous and is
merely the trick of the politicians. In the
inst place, II says, the more sensible Catho-
les, like Father Malone, regard the paroch-
al schools as a mistake, and SUPPORT them
lnder protest. If they had their way .aey
would send every Catholic child to the pub
C schools and keep him there till he grad l
ated, teaching him the Catholic religion
I home and in the Sunday schools Of their ,
hurch. In the second place, the Protest i
nts so ou.number the Catholics, and are i
thoroughly committed TO the support :
the present school system, that no party
ould dare to divide the school fund with i
ny sect, much less with the Catholics. The I
tJssiGs Union declares itself not among

epublic and who accuse either the priest Il
'od OK the laity OF the Roman Church OF g
