HE NEwspArER.-The newspaper

The NEwspArEE.-The newspaper
is the chronicle Of civilizatioI-the
common reservoir into which every
stream pougs its living waters, and at
which every man may come to drink.
It is a newspaper that gives to liberty
its practical life, constant observation
its perpetual vigilance, its unrelaxing
The newspaper teens with
most practical morality; in its report
of crimes and punjshmeuts you find 4
daily warning against temptation;
how imprulcnce leads to error, con-
ducts to guilt; how guilt reap its bitter
fruit of anguish and degradation,
The newspaper is the bond that binds
together man and man-no matter
what be the difference Of the climate or
the difference ofrace. The newspaper
is a law-book for the inlolent, ser
mon for the thoughtless, a library for
the poor. 1t may stimulate the most
indifferent, it may instruct the most
profound.

NEW YORK..

NEW YoRK. September 22.-The an
nouncemeut Of the death of Professor
Garland, who attempted wife murder and
suicide at New Brunswick, N. j., was
premature. The physicians who we're
first summoned after the tragic occur
renee found him in a eomatose condi-
ton, which was mistaken for death. All
their skill was directed to saving Mrs
Garland's life. and it was not until after
two other physicians arrived hat the as
tonishing discovery was made that Gar
land still breathed. A piece Of his skull
was removed from the brain and his
windpipe sewed up, when he was able to
talk. He may possibly recover.

This instrument has been known for
ages as one Of the principal musical in
struments Of the olden times. 1t has
been ascribed in Holy Writ as one ofthe
instruments that makes heaven ring
with melody in accompanying the
" Hosannas to the Lamb"
Around its earthly origin, amid pagans
and poets, have clustered many a poem
Of love and passion. Moore, in his
Irish melodies, gives a legend which
points to the reason for the form adopted
for the true Irish harp. a disappointed
nymph Of the sea, seeking to breathe
forever tones Of plaintive love and
mournfully discourse of broken hopes,
assumed the form Of the harp, and from
the strands of her golden hair, which
formed the chords, sprung forth sweet
sounds to the gentle touch Of the breeze
that played with the same.
This legend caused the harp Of Erin's
Isle TO take the form Of a with
arm stretched back to grasp a support
whilst she leans forward to watch the
shadows of departing hopes. In her case
the winds make the sweet aud plaintive
music, through the strands Of her hair,
whilst now it is the soft touch OF the
fingers upon the more substantial chords,
that raises the thoughts 10 list to the
sweetest music in the world.
The original design Of the harp is for
ever kept in view, though o and then
it appears but dimly to the world.

A Candid Lady.

A young lady, in a note to the Jewish
Messenger, says: II don't argue with
Mr.. Solomon that it is 'unchsste and
immoral for men and women to be
seated together at worship, because there
are hundreds of church goers against
whom the breath Of scandal could not be
raised; but for us Jews, with our gossip
ing ways, our g%ood-nstured women and
complaisant mep, it is better that we
keep separated in synagogue. The rab.
bis understood human nature when they
made the law, hat il promiscuous seat.
ing we're allowed, brothers would stray
out Of their family pews and slyly enter
Others where dark-eyed maids of Judah

WORCESTER, Mass. September o.
The Democratic State Convention met
to-day, and was called to order by Col.
Aspinwall, Chairman State Central Com.

candidate for Governor, VIM l.. Smith.
Of Springfield, had declined to serve
again, and they would also need a new
candidate for Attorney General. Hon.
Edward Avery, Of Braintree. was chosen
permanent president and made a speech
of some length in which he declared the
Democrats as a party to be in favor of
hard money, that it was so laid down in
their last national convention, however
individual opinions might differ.

Tho Indianapolis Journal is Morton $
organ and blows its brains out on q
bloody shirt. In a late number it votes
General Sherman out Of the list OF pos
sible candidates for the Presidency, say
ing:
General Sherman has served the eoun-
try we'll, and deserves well OF IT. but ne
is not the sort of q man for President.
However. aside from the question OF his
fitness, his known sympathy with the
Catholic Church, of which his wife IS a
member, puts him out OF the list OF pos
sible candidates.
This is the checklist piece OF malicious
Know othingism we have met in q long
time, and shows that Morton and his party
have determined to wage war on a church
to rrayprejudices for political purposes.
This is the firsttime we ever heard OF a
religious test being applied to a csndi-
date for office. But the Republican
party has been kept together aud in
power SO long by appealing to mems
worst passions that it is incapable of
making any other sort of a contest.
General Sherman's wife is a Catholic; he
sympathizes with her, Of course, and is
therefore aud thereby untitled for the
Presidency. This is about as reasonable,
however, as to confscate the property Of
old men whose sons or relatives were in
the Confederate army aud throw them in
prison on the ground that they we're
rebel sympathizers. Many old men,
women and children we're insulted and
driven out of house and home during
the war for no other cause, Morton was
one of the stsy-at-home braves who hear
tily Endorsed every act Of this kind, and
now his organ, taking the hint from his
course in Ohio, sets up a religious test
to be applied to all possible candidates
for office. If a mans wife's mother or any
Of her cousins belong to an obnoxious
faith he is barred from holding office aud
we presume should be disfranchised. A
party which openly proclaims such an
infamy in a land Of enlightenment and
liberty Of speech and action ought to fall
to pieces. 1t deserves the ontemp pit and
scorn Of all good men, no matter what
is their particular preference in matters
Of religious faith. None but the most
fanatical and bloodthirsty of Radicals
would insult the decency and intelligence
of the American people by making war
upon any sect or church.
