1t was very evident that Jerry
Murphy, the Democratic Senator
from Scott county, when he availe d
himself OF the very first opportunity
to introduce in our Legislature res
o,ation favorable to our public school
system, agains. any division of the
funds or sectarian instruction in tho
schools, only did so with latent to
forestall any possibility Of making
capita on that issue for the Republi-
can purity. And it is well worthy Of
notice in ths sane connection, that
= large number o. the Senator's Cath
ole constituents in Davenport held a
meeting the other day at which Tie
said resolutions AMI Their author
were both severely handled, the
sense Of the meeting being clearly
expressed that, 1--WE, as Catholics
''csnnot ia conscience send oar chill
"drsn TO the pfessa. public schools,
because the Catholic religion is ex-
"cluded therefrom, and th4. the State
lis doing Us great injustice in CON.
"pelling as to pay taxes for the sup
port Of schools, which We cannot
IRON conscientious motives, patron,
"ize." 1t is a Democrasic quarrel, an,
Senator NJ lrpay has apparently pu
his mlttsn on the wrong hand.

SPRING FASHIONS.

With the mild DAYS about the first
Of February, The counters sho. light
cam5rics and wool goods, for prudent.
people who take time by the forelock
in matters Of dress. They must do
20, fyr in these days it takes. by mod
crate computation, two weeks for a
woman working all the time to make
a dress. This is the allowance by the
most ssIilful dressmakers, and it not
seldom takes that time to DO the
trimmings alone. For the comfort Of
ladies' who do their own work, | am
happy to say that the old style OF
dress, With long plain skirt and waist
attached TO it, will be worn the com
ing spring. Such models are on dis
play in the windows as leading STYLES.
The pretsiest fabric out, is a fine
check in black and white, crossed by
single fright color, which gives it
a fresh spring-like look, while it is
quite modest enough for the street.
As it comes in soft wool goods, plain
woven, both light and durable, and
very wide, it will be fayorite with
ladies', as it is sure to be with men
because It is SO bright AID pretty.

MONEY on REAL PROPERTY.

To the man in the western part Of
New York, who wrote to me, asking
the address Of the old lady told Of in
these letters, who cried because she
didn't know where TO invest her
money, that he might get her to lend
him some money on his farm, | would
say, that he could hardly get money
on such a mortgage, if his farm were
in Central Park, instead Of Chemung.
There is more money in the banks
and in private hands now, than ever
before since the war, and it is harder
to get loan on the best security.
Even town property is looked on
douotfu,lv, for the prices are going
down 50, it is not safe TO lend on it
Values are changing, credit is un-
stable, banks are tickle, and the un-
fgrtuna'es who have money have
nothing better to do with it than to
hold On, and be glad if they can kee.
il safe without getting interest on it

whole forests in its pathway, enabling
persons to walk over the trunks of trees

The Ledger says on last Wednesday
evening ". Carroll Button was shot dead
at Randolph Landing, at the head Of
Island 40, by some person unknown. A
rifle ball passed through his heart, and
ne fell dead near tho dwelling Of John
Stinson,.a fisherman and = suspicious
character who lived with woman said to
be his wife. Stinson circulated a report
that Button had been shot by the Hollis
boys, who resided in the neighborhood.
and with whom Button had quarreled
the day before, and that after he was
shot he reached Stinson's cabin and fell
dead. That night Stinson 60: up crowd
and made raid on the Hollis boys, firing
a number Of balls into the dwelling Of
one Of them. but without killing Or
wounding any one. Yesterday Stinson and
young Tom Button came to Memphis and
obtained burial case, which they
took to Randolph Landing on the City Of
Chester. On the way up Button began to
suspect that Stinson had killed his uncle,
but both being armed no hostiiities took
place until the boat reached the landing,
where crowd had assembled. As it
"~s PAo'en AZ "H in4ueSt ha0 curing ION
Buttons absence that the Hollis boys
were innocent and that Jack Stinson had
shot Button from the window of his cab.
in, some one in the crowd cried out to
Tom Button that Stinson had killed his
uncle, whereupon Tom Button drew a
pistol and commenced firing at Stinson,
who by this time was in charge of con-
stable Dick Gay and man named Prew-
rell. Two or more shots were fred in
rapid succession by different parties, and
Jack Stinson was riddlcd with balls and
fell dead over the guard of the boat. The
constable was shot in the arm, and Prew-
rell badly wounded in the thigh. Stinson
was seen to assassinate Carroll Button,
and this was proven at the inquest. No
further particulars concerning the tragedy
could be learned.

Ups 0nd Downs Of Life.
From the Portland Press.1

A merchant in this city sixteen years
since failed i'll business for about $ll, 600.
He turned out all Ibis property to his
creditors and went to c'erking. Three
years since he lost his wifceand daughter,
leaving grandson. The doctors told
him he ought to lead an outdoor life or
he would soon follow. No capital to
start on, he returned to his boyhood oc-
cupation, went out twenty-five miles
from the city, built him a camp, burnt
charcoal and shaved pail hoops for a
livelihood. A visitor this summer found
him more than mile from any inhabi-
tant, with a cozy camp, nice garden and
the grandson, seemingly taking the world
easy. his whole effects not worth more
than $25. A few weeks since an officer
arrested him for one of three old debts.
He offered oil Of his money ($l3) to be
released. The officer had no alter.
native but to take the man.
AS they were riding through the woods
he jumped from the wagon and escaped.
This was the last seen Of him, but the
following letter was recently received:
'RocnEsrER, N. H., Dec. 10, 1876
Mr.. Officer I am in free land. If the
State Of Maine considers it crime to
owe, let them establish a whipping. post
q Ia Delaware; administer proper pun.
ishment for the crime, not imprison. The
creditor being the one who dictates the
length OF the sentence, the man who ex.
plates the punishment of whipping can
return to his labor and support his fami-
ly. If the $13 would have paid the ex-
penses Of taking the poor debtors oath
should not have left. Enclosed is IS.
Please send the boy here by rail next
Monday.

''Since it is clear that the earth has
had and will have a period without living
creatures, and his period of life is finite
between two comparatively infinite
periods, a mere ripple" said Mr.. Proctor
in SteiawaV Hall last evening, s'the
chance IS small that any planet taken at
random is at this time Inhabited" Mr..
Proctor gave various data, from which
his differences were that the moon is dead;
that Mercury probably never had life,
and being now in its old age as 4 planet,
is cooled off completely, its own cold,
however, counterbalanccd in considerable
measure by the heat of the sun; that it
is not certain that the planets came into
being at the same time; that some Of
them may now be growing, and that we
can know but little about Mercury, rs he
is so near the sun that the sun blazcs in
our eyes when We try to inspect him. 1t
has proved at the late transit of Venus,
that she has an atmosphere; and al.
though she must have climate so warm
that earthly beings could not live there,
possibly she has people who caa.
Mars in 1877 will be in that part of
his orbit in which he will shine the
brightest and reddest. There is reason
for believing that Mars is younger than
the earth. It's life must be shorter.
There is not a feature OF the history of
Jupiter and Saturn resembling the earth.
Indeed, there are two families of planets
in the solar system, the lesser orbs and
the giant planets. These great planets
are suns having little system Of their
own: But when Jupiter has cooled as
much as our earth, he will be smaller
than the earth and one.sixth as bright
as he is now. The satellites of the giant
planets may be advanced in their life
career. Some parts of Saturn, said Mr..
Proctor, suffer eclipses Of the sun two
years long. In the star depths, he con.
tinued, there are probahly y millions
living beings; and as we extend our do.
main Of the known, We extend our imagi.
nation Of the unknown.
