ACourteous Retort.

A local minister in England, who was
distinguished for disinterested labor and
ready wit, devoted several years Of the
last part Of his life to gratuitous dabor
and in new cause in populous town
about three miles from his residence, to
which place he walked every Lords day
morning, preached three times, and then
walked home. On one Lords day morn
ing, as he walked along, meditating on
his sermon for the day, he met the parish
rector.
"Well,b said his reverence, N sup
pose you are on your way to preaching
againP
ayes, sir" was the modest reply Of the
humble minister.
"Itp high time Government took up the
subject and put stop to this kind OF
travelling preaching"
@They will have rather hard work,
sir" replied the impurturabic minister.
u am not sure OF that" rejoined the
rector; "at any rate ! will sec whether l
cannot stop you myself"
II iudge,n said the worthy man, "you
will find it more difficult than you may
suppose. Indeed there is but one way TO
stop my preaching, but there are three
ways to stop yours" -,
"What, fellow, do you mean by that?
asked his reverence in towering passion.
"Why, Sir" replied the little preacher,
with most provoking ceolness, "why Sir,
there is but one way OF stopping my
preaching, that is, by cutting my tongue
out. But there are three ways to stop
yours-ior take your book from you, and
you can't preach; take your gown from
you, and you dare not preach, and take
your-pay from you, and you won't
preach"

The School Question.

From the n. Y. independently
Bishop McQuaid lecturcd, on Sunday
afternoon, in Horticultural Hall, Boston,
on "Thc Public School Question as I'm
derstood by Catholic American Citi-
zen." The prominent fallacy OF the ad.
dress was the common one that common
school instruction is complete educa.
ton. Armed with this fallacy, there is
no difficulty in making out a very strong
case against the public schools. Shall
children receive no religious instruction ?
Shall We ignore God in bringing up our
sons and daughters? Not at all. Give
them as much religious instruction as
you please. They are yours. You have
the chief control OF them.
II you wish them to learn the catechism
by heart, no one will hinder you. II you
see fit, you can make them count beads
by the hour; or, II your tastes run that
way, you can teach them to recite verses
in honor Of Brahm. The State aims tc
give them certain amount OF elementa
~ instruction, leaving religious instrnc
tion where it ought to be,-in the hands
OF the parents and the churches. They
have full power to teach what they like
and as much as they like. Would it not
be well 10 give up this threadbaro fall
lacy about the godlessness OF the public
schools?

How TO GET RlcH.-The way TO get
credit is to be punctual; the way to pre-
serve It Is not to use 1t too much, settle
often; have short accounts.
Trust no mans appearances-they are
deceptive-pcrhaps assumed for the pur::
pose OF obtaining credit. Beware OF
gaudy exteriors. Rogues usually dress
we'll. The rich men are plain men
Trust him, II any one, who carries but
little on his back. Never trust him who
flies into a passion on being dunned
make him pay quickly II there be any
virtue in the law.
Be we'll satisfied before you give credit
that those towhom you give it are safe to
be trusted. Sell your goods at small
advance, and never msrepresent them
for those whom you once deceive will be-
ware Of you the second time. Deal up
rightly with all men, and they will repose
confidence in you and soon become per
manent customers.
Trust no stranger. Your goods are
better than double charges. What ID
character worth II you make II cheap by
crediting all alike2 Agree beforehand
with every man, and II large, put II il
writing. II any one declines this, quit OF
be cheated.
Though you want Job ever so much

Editors OF the IntGlligenccr:
The receipts Of new Ohio Tobacco thus
far amount to 5Sl hhds. There has been
A good demand for short to medium
Spangled Tobacco, which has sold readily
on arrival at fair prices, while other
descriptions OF new Tobacco have re.
manned rather neglected. Messrs. Bros.
Boninger have bought recently about
200 hhds. Of old Tobacco for their Duis-
burg factory. The stock Of old Tobacco
stili unsoId comprises about 5000 hhds.,
and consists prinipally Of French To-
bacc0.
We think the new crop has been over.
estimated, and we do not believe the same
will exceed the amount Of $4,000 hhdS.
The cropis OF good quality, and contains
a large proportion Of Spangled and red
tobacco, suitable for the Bremen market
and VDuisburg. According to pres
ent indications, we look upon the pros
poets for Ohio tobacco as encouraging.
There is very little stock Of Ohio tobacco
in European markets, and as manufact-
urers abroad have bought but very spar
ingly last year, owing to the high prices
then prevailing, they will have to lay in
stock again this year. As the quality
Of the crop is good and prices now ruling
are moderate, there is every inducement
for shippers to enter our market, and We
look Tor very active demand 10
set in against May, and we be-
lieye the present crop will be
disposed OF at fair prices. But at the
same time we would caution owners Of
Tobacco not to be too sanguine in their
expectations, as we do not expect Ohio
Tobacco will rule at extremely high
prices, for the reason that the crops in
Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland are
large. Maryland Tobacco Is now in very
active demand, and prices have advanced
lately one cent per pound. Kentucky
Tobacco is selling at rather low rates,
owing to the very doubtful condition Of
the shipments. We learn that the crops
OF Brazil and Domingo Tobacco, which
are sold to large extent in the Bremen
market, are poor.
Nothing is known yet in regard to the
wants OF the French, but we expect they
will invite proposals for contracts by the
middle Of this month. As France has
taken last year an unusual small guam.
tity Of Ohio and Maryland Tobacco, only
$500 hhds. against 10000 hhds. taken in
former years, we hope they will issue a
large contract for Ohio Tobacco soon,
which would enable Agents to dispose Of
all the old Tobacco still on hand.
Yours truly,
WILKENs & BEALL.
