A correspondent OF the Peoria, H..
Transcript says: "A live and well con-
Quoted grange Is a prime blessing TO the
overworked husbandman. Af0re il was
the rule to toll from sun TO sun and from
boyhood to the grave without ANY pos
sible thought Of finding pleasure or
profit in days recreation. The man
trudged YEARLY along the treadmill Of
life. and the woman cooked her regular
one thousand meals per year with no
visions OF wayside rest this side Of the
silent portals which lead to the life be-
yond. There is still great strain on
the vital force in coaxing bread out of
the ground, but many Of our very best
farmers all over. the land are turning
over new leaf and resolving that there
are brighter sides fife than were known
BY their toiling fathers; these are they
who have fonnd how good and pleasant
il Is to get cut ofthe grooves and ruts of
rustic labor now and then to rally, with
their wives and daughters for an even
ing's diversion or 4 whole days restful
change in the brotherly group OF the
grange All hail the cordial fraternity
which SITS little spice Of change into
the rugged lot Of the farmer: but il i
pathetic to remember how many sons o.
the soil are yet bowling down to that old
faith that all work and no play i all the
brightness that Jack needs"

Eplscopalian Initativsnsss.
Philadelphia Catholic Standard. }

The Episcopalians have of late years been
copying the Catholic Church extensively.
The Long Island Cathedral" now being
erected iu pursuance of the desires of Mrs.
Stewart is q proof of this. The famous Astor
reredos lately erected In Trinity Church, Now
York, is another proof of the same tendency.
In addition to these attempts al carry ing
ont the Catholic idea of "CRthedraIs" aud the
religious ornamentstion of churches in a
sym boiic sense, the Episcopaiisus are always
creating fresh doceses. As soon as we divide
State into dioceses they do, although one
of their dioceses does not contain as many peO
pie as one of our parishes, and some of them
do not contain as many IN Disters as one large
Catholic church has priests attached to II.

THE CLARE ELECTION.

The Cork Examiner of the 18th publishes the
following special telegram dated Ennis
August IA:
Sir Bryan OLoghlen is the victorious cnndi.
date, and not merely victorious, but has been
placed at The head of the poll with a majority
of about five huudred, result which clearly
proves that in this ee ction, at least the large
body of the eI-ctUrs have heen guided by he
advice and iLhuerce of the Roman Catholic
clergy. They fought with q hearty will for
their adopted candidate, Sir Bryan O'Loghlen,
gree.
The vote as officially announced is: Sir Bryan
OL"ghlen, l 72l; Tue OGorman Mabon,
l l49 Mr. Reeves Conservative, 764; Mr..
Bortou, 15.
Majority for Sir Bryan oLoghlen over The
957.
The fifteen who voted for Mr.. Burton did so,
probably, in ignorance of his resignation,
which, by the way, is looked as very
wise step on the part of that gentleman, in
somuch that it will 60 far to secure his return
ward. The official announcement of the poll
appeared to produce rather a disheartening
effect among the populace, and after tho
rush to the telegraph Gee to wire the result,
the hustle sobsided, and the town looked as
silent as the grave. IL has been stated by the
petition will be lodged against the return of
Sir Bryan OLoghlen on the ground of updne
influence ETC., ou the part of Roman Catholic
clergymen; but the friends of the victorious
candidate look upon the threatened petition az
merely the language of defeat. Mr.. Connolly,
from the West, states that the result has
been received with great rejoicing. The to-
tai number of votes in the cOunty is 5 ,467,
and the total number polled was 377l.

ANCIENT BABYLoN.-A seri,

ANCIENT BABYLoN.--A series Of
interesting relics of the early Baby
onian Empire have just arrived at
the British Museum. They were
found on the site of the ancient city
of Zergul, which is now marked by
the modern village of Zlra, on the
river Hye, in Babylonia. Their dis
covery is due to the excavations of
Arabs working in the employ Of a
Jewish dealer in antiquities at Bag
dad, the same person from whom the
late Mr.. G. Smith obtained his collec-
ton of tablets. The largest of these
objects is black bssalt torso Of a
figure of large size, bearing the earli-
est known bi-lingual inscription of
king who reignsd in the 18th century
before the Christian era. This mon
arch bears the name Of Hamurab and
the inscription is OF great philologi
cal importance, as it furnishes many
new words and phrases. Along with
this torso are a large number of
bricks and cones bearing inscriptions
of various early monarchs.
