THE real attitude Of Catholics to
the schools is the subject Of an edito-
rial in the Springfield ,AIass.) RePub-
Jiean. 1t says: We believe we are
right in saying that the belief in the
American system Of common schools,
as the only proper one for a free PEG
pie, Is common to the great mass Of
sensible people, both Catholic and
Protestant. However attracted Ger
tain sects may be to their parochial
schools, however much high.churchly
influence may clamor for God in the
Constitution and the priest IN the
schoolmaster' chair; however far be-
low the ideal Of public education the
average Of common school instruction
may fall, we believe that these consid-
erations do not'affect the loyalattitude
Of the great majority Of the American
people to the COMMON school

IT is wisely suggested by the Ne1U-
England Journal Of Education that ''the
best hope of improvement in. our
schools, and progress IN the cause of
popular education, lies nos IN what ed
ucators do directly for those ojects,
but rather in what may be done to
make the people generally take deeper
personal interest II what concerns

HOW SHEEP RAISING PAYS IN
SUMNER.
Gallstin Tennesseean.


1t is said by some that raising sheep
in this county doesn't pay. Let us see.
Practical experience is better than the.
DRY. We will give our readers one
example that has occurred in a mile
and half of Gallatin, and it demon
strates that it Is and can be made a
most profitable branch of agricultural
industry. Mr.. J. K. Miller, living Just
south OiltOwn, some time last year pur-
chased 143 ewes, givingS per head The
lot cost him therefore $3.50. This spring
he SHARED and sold from his lot Of ewes
600 pounds of wool, at 81 cents per
pound, realizing therefrom S204.
They brought him ll9 lambs,
which altogether weighed S,75S
pounds. These he sold at 81 cents per
pound, realizing therefrOm S459.99a
One eve died and nine lambs were
killed by the dogs. Twenty-Five of his
ewes failed to bring lambs. He has on
hand yet l20 good ewes Of the lot
bought worth $40. Now figure on
this, farmers of Sumner, and see if it
is mt profitable. Leaving out the cost
and trouble of feeding, shearing, and
attending to these sheep, is it not clear
that he has realized in less than a year,
from an investment Of 1886, the sum Of
S6l779!. Taking into consideration
everything and all expen ,es, he has net
ted, after receiving back his 1886, at
least the sum Of 800, and this too in
less than twelve months.

IT is not generally known that Gen.
Sherman was, for a short time, a Con-
federate officer and the receiver, on be-
Lalf Of the Confederate State Of Louis
lana, Of what he terms ''stolen goods"
in the shape of a portion of the arms
obtained by the seizure of the arsenal
at Baton Rouge; yet such the valiant
General confesses to be a fact, in the
chapter of his "Memoirs" devoted to
louisiana. He was Superintendent
of the State Military Academy, at Al
exandria, from 1859 to the opening of
the war, and as he remained In Office
until few days after the ordinance Of
secession was passed, he thus became a
military officer OF one Of the Confed-
crate States.

POOR PROSPECTS OF THE NEW
WOOL CLIP.

So long as home consumption re-
mains at the present point, and our
ample capacity for production con-
tines unchanged, no better prices for
wooden manufactures can be expected /;
and the more so as there is no chance
for reducing our production by turn
ing our wooden machinery on other
goods that would pay better. 1t is
reasonably certain, then, that no ma
terial reduction in our capacity for
production will occur, while the only
chance for an increase In consumption
during these times of industrial pros
tration are in producing domestic
goods at lower prices, by which d, mand
would be somewhat stimulated, and
possibly the place of imported goods be
supplied in a greater measure. In this
way alone can much improvement be
looked for, and this can be done only
by lover prices of wool.
In this view of the situation, the
prospect for the new clip cannot be
said to be very fattering.

Railway Speed on Horseback.

A City mile riding match lately came
of at San Francisco, Cal, between two
noted riders, Mowrey and Smith The
Alta SAYS: 1t was a contest, as adver-
tised, for 81, 600 a side, with the condi-
tions that each man should have ten
horses, and be compelled to change
horses, or mount and dismOunt, IN each
mile.
Both men we're of a tallish, slender
build, we'll adapted to long hours on
horseback. OF the two, Mowrey eXhib-
tied greater strength and activity, and
as an expert IN the mode OF mounting
and dismounting is by far Smiths supe-
rior. An evidence of this was clearly
perceptible in the fact that he gained on
an average not less than two seconds at
every change. His style was that OF
throwing himself from the saddle by a
snTin0 from his seat, and in ountiDg
t6 spTinv from the ground, assisted by
the horn # the saddle, and catch
his seat while the horse was frequently
under f. II headWay. Added to this, he
was greatly assisted by baving helper
on horseback. who invariably acCOmpa-
MED him on the start and outcome by
checking and starting his horse, while
Mowrey had only to jump on and on
On the other hand, Smith had little OF
no assistance, except the equipage OF
his saddle, which was brought into
reuuisition in a manner that showed
conclusiveiy his appreciation Of its desi
rable assistance.
Mowrey came in a quarter OF a mile
ahead in 2 hours, 2 minutes, 56i sec
onds, Smith being Is seconds behind

Fastest Tima on Record.

The Lexington (Ky.) Press gives an
account of the remarkable time made
by the horse Searcher, at the Associa-
tion Course, in that city.
The horses entered were Searcher,
Misfortune and Light Coin, the first
named being the favorite. When all
was Ia readiness for the raoe-the
judges and timers in their places and
riders up-the horses made ready for
the start. The favorite having gone up
the stretch piece, came down the line
in a run. AS he passed the others be
jumped out in a lun, and Immediately
the drum was tapped and off they went.
The favorite vent at a terrific rate
round the turn, leading Misfortune by
several lengths, and leaving Light
Coin far behind. He never slackened
pace, but under steady pull bore away
past the first quarter pole and down
the back stretch, his jockey being I'M
able to check him in his mad career.
The first half-mile pole was passed IN
| forty eight and half seconds.
Going up the hill he increased his
lead under a steady pull and coming
down the home stretch he seemed to
slacken pace, though running at a ter.
rife rate. Observing this, the specta.
/ tors shouted "Go on go on !" The
| jockey looked back to see where the
other horses we're, while the crowd
| shouted, "Shut 'em out ! shut 'em
out I"
Then the jockey gave Searcher therein,
and no came on ahead gallantly, pass
ing under the string in just time to
shut out Misfortune, who was coming
along right gsllantly under whip and
spur, and in another jump or two
would have saved her distance. Light
Coin was lett away back lettering by
the wayside.
Searcher made the mile in the unpre-
cedented time of 1:4i4 seconds The
first half-mile was made in forty-eight
seconds. The time made / Al 3, is, for
one mile, the fastest on record, the
fastest previous TO it being made by
Gray Planet at Saratoga, last August,
running against time, in 1:423. Alarm
had made it previously a quarter of a
second slower. Mr.. Rhodes, the owner
of Searcher, has also the dam and a
full brother and half sister to the now
noted racer,

a generally lower scale of values and
with such break the great cotton trade
of Lancashire must sympathize very
directly. This is a matter which, to our
view, bears more inhuentially on the
future of cotton than even the cOnsid-
erations of supply; for England is
clearly destined to experience an imme-
diate reaction from a variety of inhu-
ences that have sustained an imitation
of prices in the face of movements
which have naturally called for lower
values not only in cotton, but in most
other raw materials"
Col. LONG, the ex confederate officer
attached to Col. Gordon's Central Afri-
can expedition, who not long since dis
covered a third great lake at the head
quarters of the Nile, has reached Egypt
on his return from a journey to the
country of the pigmies, discovered by
Schweinfurth. His journey has been
successful one, and he has made discOv-
cries of very great interest to geOgra-
pliers and ethnologists. AS his term of
service has expired, and he proposes to
return home, new volume of African
exploration inferior in interest and i'm
portance, to no recent work of the kind,
may be anticipated. The bravery and
enterprise displayed by Col. Long re-
have already been rewarded by the Off
cial commendation of Col. Gordon and
the presentation By the sultan of a badge
of the Turkish order of merit.

London Times is arranging to print
newspapers by electricity in a dozen
provincial towns simultaneously, and
now photography or the art of short
hand writing is to be rendered supur-
tiuous at one fell stroke. According
to the Revue Industrielle, of Paris, M.
Huppinger has invented a machine for
writing spoken words. The instru-
ment is described as being about the
size of a mans hand, and operates by
being placed in connection with the
vocal organs, the little machine re-
cording their movements upon a band
of paper in dots and dashes similar to
the telegraphic alphabet. Hereafter
the reporter, instead of stTaining his
-, l1a Iag,,a~o&a aF
forts to keep up with rapid speaker,
will merely attach one of these instru-
ments TO his own lips and repeat the
words of his orator inwardly. The
" lip language thus produced on the
scroll by the movements of the organ
of speech, can be written out after
wards at leisure, and with great ac-
curacy than in ordinary photographic
characters.
