THE CHALDEAN PATRIARcH.-His Holiness
clergy, and faithful of the Chaldoean rite, in
which the offences of Mgr. Audi, ChaldOa An
Patriarch of Babylon. against Lthe Holy See
and canonioal obedience are enumerated at
length. He is accused of fomenting q schism
in Malabar, of long refusing to consecrate two
Bishops chosen by the Holy See from list
which he had himself submitted to it, with
DELAYING his submission to the decrees of the
Vatican Council, and only making it eventual
ly with o vague reservation of his rights and
privileges, and with sscrilsgiously consecra-
the approval of tho Holy See These Bishops
the Holy Father threatens with exoommunioa-
tion if they continue their intrusion, and warns
the Patriarch also that he will incur the same
penalty if he does not by submission avert
such q stigma on his age and dignity.

One of the novelties of the Paris Exposition

portraits executed by French artists from the
fifteenth century to 1880. This project has
been submitted by tho Marquis de Chenne-
vieres to the commission for the classifying of
art treasures A sub-oommission has been de-
puted to consider the best means of carrying
the scheme into effect and to ascertain the
views on the subject OF the possessors of histor-
ical paintings. The commiesion has already
put itself in communication with the mu seums
of the provinces aud with private owners of

THE ELECTRIC PEN.-The electric pen
invented by Thomas A. Edison, of New
Jersey, consists of q, metallic tube in the
centre of which q fine needle is reciprocal
ted by means of email electric magnetic
engine placed on the top of the pen. The
pen being held in an upright position and
moved over the paper, the rapidly succeed-
Ing thursts of the needle cause the surface of
the paper to become penetrated with the
characters which the hand has traced.
After the writing is finished nothing but a
Naper, but on holding it up to the light the
writing is clearly visible. This sheet, which
Is called the stencil, is then placed over a
sheet of plain paper in a frame, and an
linked roller pressed over it; the ink pene-
tranng the holes in the stencil Transmits
the written matter to the clear sheet. In
this way five hundred fac simile copies of
the originsl can be taken, each copy being
very clear and distinct.

Before Luther's time three translations and
Aeversl editions of the Bible appeared in Italy !;
zour translstions and a multitude of editions
were published in the Gothic language and in
French two Belgian translations W hich passed
through several editions. Tcheque trausla-
ION was published at Prague in 1888; ct Putna
IN 1898; at Venice in 1906 and 15l1 Many
cher Catholic trauslations into almost all the
&anguages of the world were published at
some the sanctuary of "Popery."
The anti-Catholc prejudices of certain
writer's are 30 deeply rooted that it is with the
greatest difficulty we succeed in making them
believe that Martin Luther was not the first
translator of the Bible in to the vulgar German
tongue. Before the apostaSy of the too famous
Augustinian monk, there existed twenty one
German foundations (ffteen in Hoohdeutsch and
six in NiedersdechsiSch) in Germany. Luther
imself made use of the translation of Nicholas
of Lyra, which appeared in 1473, and passed
through several editions before tho Reforma-
tion."

THE CATHOLIC CLERGY DEFENDED By
MANCINI.-It is worthy of notice that no au-
thoritative statement was given, although
demanded, touching the alleged abuses of
the clergy in Italy. On the other hand, past
Ministers of the Crown have publicly de-
clared that the Catholic clergy have been
distinguished above other classes in Italy
for the honesty with which they have paid
the taxes imposed on them. And now,
when epecial laws are enacted for their an
Doyance, tribute is borne to their merit by
NO lees q person than Signor Mancini, the
Minister who introduced the law against
clerical abuses. 1t was proposed to pass
law exposing TO fine and imprisonment any
priest who should dare to celebrate mar
riage without the civil ceremony being
previously performed. Signor Mancini
opposed this suggestion and quoted statis-
tics to prove that the clergy had done much
to prevent the marriages of persons by the
religious rite alone. he proved that the
priests had prevailed on many couples to
fulfil the requirements of the civil law.
And he asserts that the fees paid to the
civil authorities were too high for the peo-
pie to pay. 1t was the cost of the civil
which compelled the poorer
classes to content themselves with marriage
by priest, to whom but q trifling sum was
paid. SignOr Nancini now proposes 20
abolish the fees paid on civil marriages in

FRUIT TREKs.-It is q good practice to wash
the trunk and main branches of fruit trees with
lime wash. If the white color is not agreeable,
a little soot can be put in to neutrRlize the
glare. The wash destroys the eggs of insects
and the germs of fungi, and keeps the bark
free to swell as the cells grow. Where the
white scale abounds on the bark the branches
may be painted with hnseed oil. 1t Is . sure
cure and really seems to make the tree moro
healthy and vigorous than it would be without
the wash.

sands of youth living in idleness in and about
our large cities, present the following as an
exhibit of what can be done in our State with
common energy and enterprise.
Sugar culture in every case has proved q
paying investment, and experience has taught
that with the proper system means are avail
able by which the youth of our State can sc-
quire an honest living.
The subject shall present as an example is
taken from the Hermitage" in Iberville
parish, La, lately owned by Mr.. James Anger,
planter of great experience. The place was
worked last season upon the plan now being
adopted by many others, called ct tenant sys-
tem," by which the proprietor gives to the
tenant one-thiTd of all that is produced on the
place, be Furnishing all necessary means for
conducting the years work, the tenant simply
furnisbing common labor.
Mr.. James Auger contracted uring 1876 with
three parties, J. o. Terrell, J. /. Brown and
Jules kerme, all Creoles and !" to the manner
born" Each of these parties received one-third
of such products as they cultivated.
Mr.. Anger on his part furnished all necessary
lands buildings, seed, mules and agricultural
implements. He advanced oil cash or provi-
sions on one years time, and assumed all cost
in the manipulation of the cane crop.
The place from 200 acree cultivated produced
1873 hhds. sugar, $50 bbls of molassee and 100
bbls. corn, and other necessary products in
small quantities for ordinary consumption.

AS remedies Professor Riley speaks $
very highly of rolling the ground
early in the spring, plowing and mar
rowing late in the fall to expose the
eggs to the full effects OF winter $
cold and frost. He finds that heavy
rains have little or no effect in pre-.
venting their Matching. Missouri
offers five dollars per bushel for the
eggs, and one dollar per bushel for the
locusts in March, fifty cents III APRIL
and twenty cents in May.
Minnesota should pass similar laws
and keep them on the state BOOKS
whether there are grasshoppers IN
the state or not. Greece, Russia,
Hungary, China, and other countries
have standing offers Of bountles.
Minnesota is as much exposed to the
rayaces of that destructive insect as
any other region Of the world. Surely
it will pay to spend few hundred
thousand dollars to prevent the Spreao
of pest capable of destroying nun
dreds of millions Of property.

and prices, and the necessity that
exists for the carrying of compara-
lively large sums of money upon the
person-would obviously seem to
preclude the possibility of it's use for
the bulk of even the retail business Of
the country. And if by law silver
should now be made the exclusive
standard for money values in the
United States. no law could enforce
it's use for general circulation. Sub
stitutes of paper money would be
resorted to and speedily replace it.
With even the limited quantity Of
silver at present in circulation, much
difficulty is experienced by the Post
office Department from the tendency
of silver coin to flow into local post
offices and stay there; and on the
Pacific Coast the use of coined silver is
beginning to be regarded as an in
tolerable nuisance, government con-
tractors refusing to take it, while the
banks in that section threaten to send
the drafts Of the government to pro-
test unless the pOstmasters honor
them in some other than silver money.
And SO we are to pay, during the
next twenty years, $l52,000,000 fol
the luxury of using that which is
already a nuisance.

A Word Personal.

There is so much of more impor-
tance in the world to attend to that
we hesitate to reply to the numberless
attacks made upon us. Some fellow
who signs himself "Jack, ,"-(he mod
estly omits his last name, which COM
mences with an A and ends with two
s. 50 writes to the Pioneer-Press, ,and
makes what his obtuse intellect
regards as some points against us,
but the points are duller than his wit
and not near as solid as his skull.
He says:
| notice that one of DOnnelly's
resolutions contains this clause: "That
we regard the demonetiZatiOn OF
American coin as the result of con-
spiracy. and crime against the pros
perity and industry of the American
pepole" etc. Now, if l remember
right silver was demonetiZed in 1872,
and who ever heard Donnelly say a
word about this conspiracy and
"crime" until late in 1875! Is it pos
sible that he saw this thing going on,
and never said a word about it Tor
nearly two years!
Now if 'sJack" would take his ears
out Of his eyes and read up, he would
learn that the fruits of that conspir'
acy were kept as a secret for years
President Grant six months after he
signed the bill demonetiZing silver
wrote public letter congratulatine
the country on the development OF
our silver mines, because he said we
were producing the means in our OWL
country, from those mines, to pay OF
the national debt, and yet at that very
time, not a dollar of that debt coult
be paid in silver! And Grant did noi
know it J!
We would recommend Jack, tn
next time he writes a letter for thl
press, to dip the end of his tail n ,

that way he will add largely to tn

ci1t Gdzett:
ssSuccess has at last crowned the efforts of
the worthy man hose name heads this artl-
Gle. Holt county, in which his chief colony
is located, now contains no less than 8UO
inhabitants. and this number increases daily.
Few people know the hard and unremitting
labor required on the part of Gen. O'Neill to
accomplish all that he has done in this direc-
ton; and still fewer, we fear, justly appreciate
his efforts and his motives. But we know
Something of his efforts, his hopes, and his
prospects; and it is pleasant to know that all
and more than all has expectations have been
realized. He has cleared the passage to his
field of immigration, and has cut away the
rubbish and brushwood of opposition to his
grand scheme; and he can now sit down by
the way-side and see hundreds of his country
men passing over the road and into the land
which he has prepared for them. If he ever
expected his reward in dollars and cents he
would be sadly disappointed; but he did not.
He has reaped the only reward he ever
sought or received-the consciousness of
carrying out his pet idea, namely: "The
best thing for Irishmen next to freedom at
home is to lead them to homes Otther own III
free America"
Holt county is one of the northern
counties of N Nebraska-aboutl 100 miles
west of Sioux City, Iowa. A little
generous aid from their prosperous
cOuntrymen, in our large Western
cities, would settle 1000 families in
this country where all the industri-
Gus and frugal-within ten years
would own their farms, be free from
debt and be able to aid their old
country friends to settle near them.
We hope to learn more OF the
details of this O'Neill-Holt county
colony.

THE REST GOVERNNENT ON
EARTH

OF course it is. Here is the way 1T
has developed the American navy:
Our navy costs twice as much per
man as the British navy; and Admiral
Porter has given it as his profession
ii opinion that one British man-of-
war could 'schaw up Il good share OF
our fleet in twelve hours. The United
States has only Seventy-tive ships,
including tugs and everything. 10
command these seventy-five ships,
including tugs, we have | ,552 officers,
and only 5,04S men; that is to say, one
officer to every 3 3-4 men. we nave
An admiral for every five ships, a com
modore for every three. commander
for every vessel, and fifteen to spare.
There are lieutenant commanders TO
90 round and eighteen over. Ihe
masters are in the same excess, ana
every ship could have four lleuten-
ants. There are two surgeons to
every vessel, and twenty-one vessels
could have three. There are almost
enough paymasters to give one TO
every vessel, and there are more IMAM
three engineers to every engine.
The sum of S6,6OO,O00 was appro-
priated last year for navy pay-rolls.
The 5,94S seamen eat up Sl,o55,71o OF
this, leaving to the officers about four
times as much.

THE "TIuES' ARTICLE.

The remarkable editorial from the
Nep York Times, which we published
the other day, is attracting very
general attention. 1t is regarded as a
bold uncovering of the hitherto
masked batteries of the capitalists;-lt
lets a flood of light fall upon the near
future;-a future dark indeed for the
American people if they fail to defend
their rights at the ballot box.
The People, the organ of the In
dependants of Iowa, says:
son the first page of this paper will
be found one of the most remarkable
articles that has ever been published
in America. 1t is copied from the
New York Times of April %, 1871
the leading republican newspaper OF
the country-and as the Indianapolis
Sun Justly says. it advocates pollcy
which is utterly subversive to tree
institutions. It's consummation would
reduce the only class capable OF
Offering any successful resistance tt
combined capital, to II condition OF
absolute dependence upon the capl
talist. 1t would create a land arls
tocracy in America, with all the vice
of the feudal lords of England. ant
with none of that grand pride Of race
and position which is general!
sufficient to preserve an Enslisl
nobleman from rapacity. Our mas
ters would be simply capitalists. will

nate tenants to the lowest depth o
poverty and degradation.
