Good Advice VS. Bad Taste.

Jenney June gives her sex a good
round scolding in her last fashion letter.
She says that the epidemic for striped
stockings which has been raging more
or less for the past two years has at last
taken form which will speedily put an
end to them among refined women.
Luxury in hosiery, of course, there Is
no objection to-if ladies can afford to
pay ten dollars per pair for silk, and
five dollars per pair for cotton hose,
there is no law against it, and no rea-
son why they should not. But there
are reasons cogent with every lady
who possesses delicacy and taste why
she should not dress her limbs in the
attire of ballet-danciers; why she
should not set herself to stimulate and
encourage the ribald conduct OF men
who watch on hotel steps, on the street
corners, at the church doors, for oppor'
tunities to make their jokes on women
who suggest them. A lady may wear,
as many do, the finest of silk, the most
delicate OF thread, she may match the
tints of her dress, and thus harmonic
every portion of her toilet with perfect
propriety; but when she wears her hos
iery only fit for harlequin, and short
ems her dress in front to a vulgar ex.
treme, to show it, there is very little OF
modesty or wOmanhood left that would
not be sacrificed to vanity and love OF
display. The great feature OF the new
styles in hosiery is their cost. For q
good but not extra quality of gray or
brown hose, with an absurd and Himsy
little clocking on the sides, sl.5O per
pair is charged, when. seventy-hye
cents would be high price for them in
white or un bleached cotton. For my
part says Jenny, Il consider these
dingy grays and browns in hosiery
very ugly, and stripes only fit for child
rem and clowns at circus. The quicker
we get back to the fine white or ivory
tinted stockings the better

ONLY eight years ago last March, in his let
ter to Nixon, Cary denounees the Democracy
as party STEPPED in crime and covered with
infamy:
The party that opposed the Government in
its efforts to crush out the rebellion, and Or
ganized conspiracies in Ohio to aid traitor; the
party that denounced Lincoln as tyrant and
usurper and our soldiers as hirelings and dogs;
the party that denounced the war as failure,
and tried to make it so; the party that dis
suaded men from enlsting, and persuaded
them to desert after they had enlisted. The
true and loyal men of Ohio are ready for the
issue, and can not if they would, and would
not if they could, avoid it.

The Hiehest' Bridge I'm the World.

The highest bridge in the world VIII
be built at the crossing OF the Ken
lucky river, on the Cincinnati South
ern Railway, near the Shaker ferry.
The Baltimore Bridge Company, one
OF the most noted in the United States,
has secured the contract. The bridge
will consist of an iron deck truss of three
spans of 375 feet each, centre to centre,
supported by two abutments. The piers
will be built OF masonry to height OF
64 feet and 6 inches above low-water
mark will soon be determined by bor-
|ings under control of the resident engi-
neer. These piers will be 120 feet long
end to end of cut water, and % wide on
the top, built hollow, with The walls a
feet from the end. Upon the masonry
will rest the iron trestle work. The
grade line is 275 feet inches above low
water. The abutments will be built
upon the cliffs on each side of the river,
and are to be 4s feet high, depending
upon the shape of the lodges OF rock.
When this structure is completed,
Kentuckians can well point with pride
to the highest bridge upon this eonti-
nent.-ED Danville (Ky.) Advocate.

The financial policy of the Ohio Democrats,
if adopted, would produce panic in this
country such as has never been experienced.
The credit of the government would be des-
troyed, the eight hundred millions of bonds
held abroad would be returned, business would
be upset, confidence destroyed, and debtors
ruined. Every man who is in business and in
debt should pray to be delivered from the

LIDO not disguise my sentiments. 1 am a
temperance man, and for more than forty
years have not drank drop of liquor, and il
God spares my life forty years longer, and
gives me grace, won't drink drop of liquor.
1t is not mere sentiment with me; it is a
conviction. l know am better off without
it, and l think others would be- s. F. Cary.
Now, it has been distinctly proved by re-
putable witnesses that Cary did drink, deli
berately and of his own free will, on two oc-
casions, when he was a candidate for Congress.
The circumstances under which he imbibed
were such as to justify the impression that he
did it for the purpose of overcoming the pre-
judices against him on the ground of his tenn
perance record. For a Son of Temperance,
who was once leading man in the Order, to
drink was bad enough. To drink and then
lie about it is both mean and contemplate.

FoR colored people to assemble to listen to
political discussion is regarded as crime by
the Democrats of Mississippi, and death by
shooting is the penalty enforced. The proud
declaration of the Democracy is, that the par
ty is one,-the same spirit animating it, North,
East, South and West. The logic of these
two acts is irresistible.

Contemplated Attack Oh the

Organizing College of
JeSuits.

4 Washington special to the Pittsburgh
Commercial, says, that very singular story
has been current here for two or three days,
and has assumed such shape as to justify rele-
graphing. 1t is positively asserted by parties
well known in that city that Cardinal Nc
Closkey in his visit to Rome will inaugurate a
system of attack upon the free school system
prevailing in this country. 1t is said that a
College of Jesuits is to be established in this
country, with headquarters in Washington,
for the express purpose of inaugurating war
upon the common school system. There is to
be branch college established in all of the
principal cities throughout the country under
the control and jurisdiction of the central col
lege here, and gradual effort will be made to
break down the system of common schools,
both by the College of Jesuits and the influ-
ence of the priesthood throughout the coun-
try. According to the statements of parties
from whom this information is derived, there
was considerable diversity of opinion among
the prime movers concerning the selection of
a proper site for headquarters, but it was
finally conceded that Washington would be
the most available place on account of the
facilities given for influencing State delega-
tions and other prominent persons in the in
terview sought by the delegate of the Pope,
Count Roncetti, with the Indian delegations
here last spring, was with direct reference to
system of missionary work among these tribes
in the hope of proselyting them to the Roman
Church. The full details of the scheme will
be submitted, it is alleged, to the Pope by Car
dinal McCloskey, and upon receiving his sane
ton will be carried out. The matter has been
freely discussed here by good many persons
during the past few days, and has caused
much comment. Prominent Catholics here
who were consulted in regard to the project
are credited with divulging the scheme.

PEOPLE here who remember the superb
courtesy with which Governor Noyes enter
tanned the then Governor elect, Allen, will
fully appreciate the following disgusting and
brutal reference to Noyes in Aliens Zanes-
vile speech. The man who could under any
circumstances utter such sentiments shows
himself destitute of the instincts of gentle
man; but for Allen, under such circumstances,
to utter them, proves him to be the same ire
claimable blackguard that some of our older
citizens remember so wildly, more than a
quarter century ago:
A gentleman against whom ran always
carried his wooden leg with him to show that
he had lost that in battle, and that l had not
lost any legs in battle; that all l had done was
to make some speeches against some of the
violent actions of the Government, which laid
far beyond their constitutional power. But
they clamored. My friend Noyes went all
over the State with his warlike wooden leg,
calling upon the people and telling them what
great things he had done in the war. l never
made the least allusion to Noyes any more
than if he had been man who had been
born the day before. never made the least
reference to him, but l killed him dead with
one sentence, and that was the only stroke
that dealt him. In answer to their clamor
about the war! the war;! the war,!, 1 told
the people that the question was not now
about fighting, but about stealing, and that
knocked him head over heels The people all
understood the logic of that, and l had no
more trouble with the war difficulty.

/ Col. FRED. HECKER, of Illinois, pro-
found scholar and thinker, one of the ablest,
bravest and most unselfsh patriots of the
| German revolution of 1S4S, is writing a series
of articles for the st. Louis Westliche Post on
the development and influence of ultramon-
tanism. in which he takes the ground that it
will in future seek this country as the most
promising field for its growth and enlarge
ment From the second of these articles,
translated by the Chicago Tribune, We take the
following extract:
at is very obvious mistake on the part of
the majority of our people here to believe that
the name of a republic, that the Republican
form of our Government, is sufficient bull
wark against the domination of the Vatican
over our social and political institutions.
"The Jesuits look upon republics as far
better harvest-feld for their lust for power
They know full well that it is far more diff
ficult to carry on war against a government
with a hereditary chief, which is as centralz-
ed and as firmly knit together, and as fond OF
power, and as quick to act and to move, as
the concentrated power of the hierarchy, than
to combat States, where the strength of gov
ernment rests not in the center, but in the
masses, as it were peripherically. And those
masses have no system, no tenacious holding
on to nlaxims, which have an application in
the far future; those masses are agltated by
the fluctuations of the day, often misIed by
selfish leaders living from day to day, and
quickly oblivious of what happened only a
short time before. Hence the republican sys-
TEN of government of itself gives us no guar
antee against Vatican domination. The con-
trary is the case"
Colonel Hecker predicts that this question
will ultimately Great more violent connections
here than the slavery issue did, the object be-
ing ''to crush every other school system; and,
above all, our free school system"
