A brave deed was done on January %,
at Sheerness, in England, by a poor wo-
man, who saved a child from drowning
at the imminent risk of her own life. AT
a lonely part of the seashore, about two
miles from the town, some children from
the eoast-guard station at Scrapsgat
were playing near the waters edge,
when the one referred to fell in. The
wind, blowing fresh off the shore, quick
ly took the boy out to considerable dis
tanee, and he, disappeared more than
once. Mrs. Sellen, in her cottage, heard
the cry of alarm raised, ran down to the
beach, and mo one else being near, she
plunged into the tide, caught sight Of the
drowning child as he rose, and fortn.i
nately reached him. She was then up 70
her neck, and the water was lifting her
off the ground; yet, although unable %
swim, she managed TO regain. the shore
with her almost liieless burden before
further help arrived.

There is something terribly shocking in

There is something terribly shocking in
the announcement of fight having taken
place at Bethlehem, between two branch
es of the Christian family. The Greeks,
who call themselves Christians, and who
are at least technical Christians, assail-
ed that part OF the town in which the
Armenians, who are Christians, reside.
The'assailed had no idea of being tamely
butchered, and they resisted the assas-
sins, SO that both sides suffered, but to
what extent we do not find stated. We
wonder that the Turkish authorities
should have allowed the Greeks to take
up arms against other Christians. Isn't
it strange thing, that the only safety
for Christians in Christianity's birth
place should proceed from the tact That
Mussulmans are masters Of Palestine?

Horse-raclng is ust as much gambling
as any game that can be played with
balls, or cards, or dice; and ten times as
many men have been ruined on the green
turf as ever were ruined at the green

other form of gambling, because it can
be, and in other countries It is, reduced
to regular system of swindling. How

We shall publish an article, probably to-
morrow, from Peekskill, N. Y, CMr.
Beecher's summer home) which our
readers will find at once startling and
luminous in many respects. 1t makes
straight sundry paths herntnfn-n n-nnbod:
uIslSIs NUN 1afKness along the way; dis
closes facts unknown before to the public
in general; is unsparing of the great actors
in the drama and their friends; paints the
picture of Beecher, Tilton, Moulton, Mrs.
Cady Stanton, Woodruff, Blood, &c, in
colors which are unmistakable in their in
tensity, and gives the first rational clue
with which the public have been favored
TO the unraveling of some of the mysteries
which hang about the case. 1t seems to
be written with great candor, certainly
without a shadow of personal bias in favor
of any of the actors on either side. Our
home readers will doubtless conjecture
that in its nervous and trenchant style they
see the hand of o whilom faTorite Journal
ist and now skillful lawyer. At any rate
they will discover that it might be his, and
will not look upon its work the less in
terested therefor. five mistake not, many
people will ''see clearer" after perusing
the article.

THE gossips report that a compromise
has been reached between Mr.. eK-Speaker
Blaine and Senator Morrill,, of Maine, by
which the latter is to be returned to the
Senate and the former is assured of the
support of the entire Maine delegation in
the next national convention for President.
This is as We expected; but unless GER
tain needful changes are made in Mr..
Blaine's general policy it will turn out that
the Senator has got the best Of the bargain.
However, If Mr. Blaine should improve
the opportunity afforded him by his acci-
dental position as the Republican leader Of
the House next winter to prove his return
to the Straightforward and consistent paths
of Republicanism, he may win back the sup
port ofsome of his former admirers. He may
rely upon it that no man will be nominated
by the Republican party who does not
prove, by both words and deeds, that his
devotion to the past record of the party is
grounded upon an earnest faith in its prin-
ciples. In short, the masses of the party
will see to it that its future shall be con-
sistently in accord with its pledges for the
maintenance Of the spirit and letter of the
Constitutional amendments and the recon
struction acts, and the rallying cry in their
next campaign will be equal justice to all,
with protection to the humblest citizen.

annexation means a strengthening of the Cen
eral Government and subsequent tyranny, is
the essence of nonsense and stupidity. Every
State, In the past, that has made any mark on
history's page has been aggressive. Every
one has encroached on its neighbors, and BY
conquest and annexation has SHOWN its power
of growth. For our country not to increase In
territorial dimensions would render Il an
anomaly in history. We must increase or we
must diminish. If we do not annex our neigh
bors, the time will come when they will begin
to annex US. Not soon, to be sure; not in the
time of this generation, because the life of an
individual Is but as dot In the life of nation;
but sooner or later, by the natural course Of
events, that era will certainly come. In the
place OF decrying any annexation plan, the
press and parties of the country should unite
In hailing any and all additions Of territory to
our national domain, as these acts show the
internal prosperity and external reputation of
our National Government. The destiny of the
United States Is to extend over all North
America, and, perhaps, further, and it will not
be many years ere that destiny is fulfilled.

IT is to be hoped that the time will soon
disappear when serious spprehensions will
be justifable regarding the so-called en-
croachments Of the Catholic Church. 1t is
true that the ''ancient diplomacy" of Rome
was obnoxious to the spirit of American
institutions, and so far as its influence re-
mains il is still obnoxious. The reason for
this, however, exists in the fact that the
Church itself has always been more or less
under influences equally inimical to the
true aspirations of republicanism. Inshort
it has, in the main, been differed snd guided
in its temporal affairs by believers in mo-
narchical principles.l In this country, how
ever, it has become the custom to educate
American-born young men for the priest
hood, and gradually the foreign or monarch.
ical element Of the Catholic clergy has been
replaced by believers in our system of self.
government. Fit had been altogether re.
placed by them there would be no provo
cation now for the organization of anti
Catholic political societies. As it is, it is
to be regretted that such societies have been
organized everywhere even in States and
localities where an aggressive Catholic
policy is to be feared, because the agitation
ofthe question is bound to add strength
from among the ignorant Catholics to the
ranks of those who hold the Church, to be
nearer and dearer than anything else on
earth. If the agitation had been delayed
a sufficient length Of time the American
idea that the Government IL oaramount IN
the Church, because Il is powerful to pro-
feet it, would have asserted itself In Eu-
rope, where the Church assumes to patron
ize and protect Governments, this idea
would be hooted at as sheer folly; but in
this country it is beginning to be as firmly

the result of the war. He knew that the
'terms on which they surrendered were
odious to them, and therefore did not hesi-
tate to take issue with his former leader,
and declare, virtually, that consistent ad-
herence to them will degenerate the Re-
public into an Empire. Take it all in all,
we are willing to submit this brief history
of the reunion of the Hampton Legion as
cumulative evidence, as we have said, that
the Southern rebels are engaged in a con-
spiracy to win within the Union what they
failed to gain, sword in hand, outside of

THE New York Sun, with its usual in
accuracy, announces that the election in
North Carolina on the question of holding
a convention for a revision OF the State
constitution will be held on the 1st of
August. The truth is, it will take place on
the 5th of that month; but then the Sun is

fixed in the belief of Catholics as it is in
the belief of Protestants. 1t is the natural
offspring of the theory Of our Government
which guarantees religious freedom as the
safeguard ofperfect political liberty. This,
we believe, is the view of the clse most
acceptable to conservative American Cath
olics. and it is certainly the view that should
be adopted in opposition to those enter
tained by the bigoted few who seek to force
an unnecessary issue regarding this ques-
