New ORLEANS, August 6, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Praise to you, althC ngh every paper is
down on you. l was surprised to see in
your valuable paper the accusation that
Mr.. K. M. Lusher, nominee of the Demo
cratic and Conservative party for Superin-
tendent Of Public Education is not only a
Catholic, but holds also some kind OF an
office under the Jesuits. God forbid that he
should be elected What would become of
our public schools 1 believe it would be
better to have no public schools at all than
that they should be under the control Of
the Jesults.
Mr.. Editor, am Democrat. have al
ways voted the straight ticket, but rather
than vote for Jesuit, ehall vote for the
Republican nominee. l am sure there are
many Democrats who will think the same
as l if they would know Mr.. Lusher's
standing. True, this is free country; all
religions are the same, but we want pro-
gress, no retroaction. l believe Mr.. Lusher
would do much better situated as he is
now. Should you feel inclined, please pub.
lish this for the good of all who don't care
to have anything to do with the Jesuits.
Respectfully,
A WHITE DEMOCRAT,
But no Bigot.

Sinking of the Steamer Rebeccn.

The stern wheel steamboat Rebecca of
this port, A. Bowen, master; G. G. Walker,

taken ill and compelled TO leave the wheel,
and his assistant by error tOon the vessel
some miles out of her course into the gulf.
Friday night, near Southwest Pass or the
entrance to ,Vermilion Bay. she sank, the
strain on her timbers from the swells of the
gulf be ing too great. No lives were lost,
and all but about 5000 feet Of the lumber
will be saved. The vessel is believed to be
q total wreck. These particulars were OBJ
tanned from tho Off GERS OF the steamer

Dangerous Inventions.

Many years ago, gentleman in a subordinate

device more useful than hair-splilting, though
of the like nature; he found out 4 way Of split
ting bank-notcs, SO that each note became two,
aud to all appearances were the same rs when
they were one. including, Of course, the water
man, and informed the Government Of the re-
suit of his ingenuity; whereupon, on bis solemn
made him governor Of the bank. Another
gentleman, but who unhappily is rogue, has
lately made his appearance in London; he has
invented certain acid which causes the writing
to disappear from the check, and then he fills up
the blank space according to his aspirations
His modus opcrandi is the following: He pro-
cures a good check, drawn by good name, for
seventeen or nineteen pounds; the word
"pounds' is oblitcratcd 50 completely. that no
trace Of the original writing can be discerned
even under the microscope, and the words
t.hundrcd pounds" inserted in its place; two
ciphers, are added to the figures, and then the
document, including the signature, are quite
correct. This ingenious plan is causing great
CONSERVATION in London, and the gentleman
who invented it could get good round sum to
retire from business.

QUAKER MEETING.

How manifald the temples raised to Godl
From great st. Peters Srnnd monastie pile,
Through all the grades, the ornate and the crude
BY every sect the plous and the vile.
But from the lowest home may worship rise
To Heaven, more worthy than perfected art;
For He, who rules the ages and the skies
Declares His temple is the creatures heart
Near by the country road, severely plain
And npretending to the last degree,
The Quaker Meeting House, Obscure, is seen,-
Remotest link in church diversity.
Enter within. Here worship peaceful Friends
In garb that antedates the gray in years:
No modlstc'a eye the matron here attends,
To note the fashions, OF who fashion wears
But would you know who il beseemly dressed.
t,onformsd In love to the New Testament!
Look on these humble folk anu be impressed,
Here is no 'broidered robe, or raiment blent
With gold; no taper, jewe1ed hands, half -glored,
Exhibiting the brilliant diamond price
No bracelet. .clasped arms astfully moved;
No heads bedecEed with fairy phantasics!
The peace that sways their hearts Is from above;
Their ornament q quiet spirit is.
In meditation silently they love
To seek the Masters will; He owns them His.
Their silent worship suits their humble mind;
But, should the Spirit move to vocal prayer.
Some sweet Madonna- head is low inclined,
In spirit and In truth, to worship there.
Or when some saint, revered in age and mien,
Chants grayely forth the Spirit breathing wond
Their hearts to sacred oracles incline,-
Responsively they bless the risen Lord.
Let him who worships look to God alonei
Let those who lightly scoh repent-be mute;
By faith and works secure the fade1ess crown;
The Master jndgeth, still, mems lives by fruit

Down the rocky coast Of Norway
Svcnd, the Viking bold, WAS sailing;

Hanging low and darkly trailing,
Came the Stoln-king's rushing lcgion1
From the vast and frozen regions
Where, unchallensed in dominion,
Rules the Storm King. rules forever.
As bird on rapid pinion
C1eaves the foamy crested river,
So the boat Of Syend the Viking
Cleft the storm-swept, surging billoWss
While its ulasts bent like the willoWs
That q furious tempest, striking,
Dendtth low with might unfailing
And the wind went wailiny, wailing,.
Through the shrouds, went hoarsely sighlngs
And the birds, tll-omcned- flying
Ger tile boat, were screaming, diving,
On the wing tempest driving,
Powcrless 'rainst the Storm Kings power.
Der the watery waste thore flashes,
From the threatening clouds that lower,
Glittering lightning, upward leaping
In its forkcd tongues OF fire,
Through vast, stately pulaccs, in ;.=hcs
Crumble low each tower and sp:rc.
Yet still southwark Syend the Viking
Sailed away, Jet ever sailing;
And the N&htuings, heaven scaling,
Shone on beetllng Crags extending
Right before, and e'en impending
Der the vessel speeding meath them,
While the curling sea- waves wreathe then
With their quivering silye1y tresses,
Folding them in soft caresscs:
And the storm was to his liking.

Lower than this The drama in Chicago cannot

would not be WORSE When the imported ooEe
becomes the most conspicuous actor IN h Ihe
n-inriual Chicago theatre, it must be that the
crisis has come, and that henccforth the
general drift Of dramatic affairs will be towards
f'ctter things; for progress in the other dlrec-
ton would involve total destruction. 11eIc IS

acting is redeemed by single graecfll! or

also local "seusational drama entitled
"Ncmcsis; or, The Brigsnds of Chicago" " will be
produced.
The following paragraph in an Eastern paper
indicates the disruption OF the minstrel COM
pany now playing at Hayerly's Theatre, and
the beginning OF the dramatic season at that
place. It is known that number OF stars have
been engaged to play at Hayerly'e, with sup
port obtained from neighboring cities IHE
TRIBUNE warns the management beforehand
that an inefficient stock company can soon ruin
the reputation Of that theatre, which is at pres
ent excellent, and well worth preserving. The
paragraph referred to is as follows:

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS.

There is reaper whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain ut a breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
s.Shal1 have naught that is fair:" said he,
ssHave uaught but tho bearded graius
Though the breath of these flowers is sweet to+mc
will give them all back aguin."
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
He kissed their dropping leaves;
It was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them III his sheaves.
'sAfy Lord hath need of these lowerets gay"
The reaper said, and smiled;
tDear tokens OF the earth are they,
Where He was once child.
44Thcy shall nil bloom in fields OF light,
Transplanted by my care;
And saints, upon their garments white,
The sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain.
The flowers size most did love:
She knew she could find them all again
In the fields OF light above.
Oh! NOT in cruelty, not in wrath.
The reaper came that day;
'Twas an angel visited the green carth.
And took the flowers away.

THE OCEAN.

Oh, it is joy
Without alloy,
Ausing where naught can annoy.
Down at Cape May,
Some sunny day,
Watching the high 1ashing spray;
Listening to the
Sweet melody
Made by the deep-surging aea,
Solemnly grand,
Over the strand
Swept By the Almighty Hand;
Listening with wonder
Whilst the waves thunder
When n,adly bursting asunder
Where the rocks slant;
Then slowly chant
Music which ever will haunt
The raviehed Eonf
Whilst the years roll
On to Ercrnity's goal. +
