WENT over to Romew This 10 the
phrase, now so frequently used in Great
Britain, to express the fact Of numerous
transfers of spiritual allegiance from the
High Church Episcopalians to the Roman
Catholic Church. We hardly believe, how
ever, that, as the telegraph has announced,
100000 converts have thus recognized the
new Pope. II is nevertheless fact that his
conservative policy and the persuasive al
lurements of the beginning of his dynasty
have made great inroads upon the strength
Of Professionalism all over the world. Any
day evidences of the progress Of this move
ment may he developed in America, where
certain kinds of reform in Episcopalianism
already tend in that direction. Particularly
is this the ease in our own city. Aside
from this reform tendency the Catholics
have lattcrly been very active in securing
converts among the blacks Of the South. In
Maryland, especially, they have been re-
markably successful. The next census, ii is
safe to predict, will cause some one to rise
up and say something about MAcAULEY's
New Zealauder.

GENLRAL JOSEPH f. JOHNSTON was in
Mobile, Ala, last week, and the Register, in
an article welcoming him, says that which
he and General SHERMAN agreed to do thir-
teen years ago has been at last done by the
natural operations OF the Federal Constitu-
tion. That is to say, the Coniederates have
reaped the full benefits OF tho proposed Con.
ciliation at Greensboro, n. C., when General
SHERMAN, with mistaken magnanimity
very nearly surrendered to JOE JOHNSTON
instead of receiving surrender from him.
That conciliatory project, it will be remem-
bered, was reputiated by every leader of
public thought on the Republican side the
country over. And now comes Its practical
realization through the retrogressive agency
Of Republican influences, neglect or stupid
ity. Who will now say that revolutions
never go backward? 4?

SOME of the Philadelphia newspapers
inhospitably predict that President HAYES
Union League visit to their city this week
will be a stiif-stand-up-teeds sort of an affair,
devoid of that enthusiasm and genuine
"heartiness which make an ovation a real
"honor." SHERIDAN, when he had proclaimed
the Louisiana rioters as "Banditti," was re-
ccived in the Quaker City by GO,0O0 people,
who lined the streets from the depot to his
hotel, and made the weikiu ring again aud
again with cheers Of welcome for Little
PHIL" And Little PHIL hadn't concili-
ated anybody, either. Verify, tho Quaker
City should not make such distinction in
behalf of man of blood and war! Peace
be with thee, Mr.. President.

Mr.. RAMsDELL's exposure in the Phila-
delphia Times of the alleged contribution of
100000 by tho Pacific Railroad lobby to
the Republican campaign fund in 1875 will
attract extraordinary attention Aside from
his deserved repute as reliable correspond
ent, his statements are backed up in this
instance by a vein Of defiance to contradc-
tion thinly disguised by his allusion by
name to the parties to this transaction.
There is nothing connected with II to de-
mand especial investigation for there is no
violation of law in such contributions We
therefore suggest the charges shall be re-
ferred to special committee OF civil-seryice
experts, with power to send for persons-in-
oluding Mr.. R., who never did like to be

THERE is a chivalrous aspect of the treat
meut Dr. MARY WALKER has received
from the press of the country pending her
recent illness A genuine feeling of pity
for the poor misguided woman has replaced
the jeers and sneers heretofore evoked by u
mention Of her name. But this is not a
ease in which "the blood of the martyr is
the seed of the church" by any means; for,
with all the charity of expression toward
her, no one has been so indecorous or indis-
erect as to espouse her erratic ideas OF bi-
sexual habiliments. As soon as she gets
well enough to exhibit in public once more,
the respite she has enjoyed from ridiculc
will be at an end. 1t will then he in order

THE KIND OF RELIGION WE WANT
We want religion that softens the step,
and tunes the voice to melody, and fills
the eye with sunshine, and checks the
impatient exclamation aud harsh rebuke
a religion that is polite, deferential tn
superiors, courteous to interiors and con.
siderate to friends; religion that goes
into the family, and keeps the husband
from being cross when dinner is late, and
keeps the wife from frettpg when the
hus band tracks the newly washed flor
with his muddy boots, and makes the
husband mindful of the scraper and the
door-mat; keeps the mother patient when
the baby is cross and amuses the children
as well as instructs them; cares for the
servants besides paying them promptly,
projects the honeymoon into the harvest
moon, and makes the happy home like
the Eastern fgtree, bearing in its bosom
at once the beauty of the tender blossom
and the glory of the rpened fruit We
want religion that shall interpose be-
tween the ruts and the gulIies and the
rocks of the highway of life and the sen.
sitive souls that are travelling over them

Tattlers.

1t isa we'll known fact, that every COM
munity is cursed by the presence OF a
class of individuals Who make it their
business tn attend to everybody's affairs
but their own. Such people are the poor
est specimens Of humanity which exist
upon this bright eai,h. 1t is well known
that many are sometimes disposed 10
speak evil of another, and talking is sin
from which very few can claim to be
entirely exempt. But the object Of
this article il To speak OF that distinct
class of tattlers who make tale bear
ing the constant business Of their lives.
They pry into the private affairs
Of every family or party IN the neighbor-
hood, they know the exact state OF one
neighbor's feelings towards another, they
understand everybody faults. They are
well posted on everything connected with
courrship and mstrimony, and know who
are going to marry whom. II you wish
to know why woman is not living with
her husband, they will tie ready 10 give
you information, and if there is the slight.
est chance to create disturbance, or ex-
cite jealousy, they take advantage of it,
and do all in their power to keep people
in constant vexstion. They glide qui-
e,ly from gentleman to lady, from mother
to daughter, from father to son and from
husband to wife, and in the case Of all
they pass their bitter whispers OF SLAM
der and abuse and at the same time pre-
tend to be the most sincere friends OF
those they talk to. Their nauseous pills
of slander are sugar with smiles
and words of friendship.
Tattlers are confined to no particular
class, and they operate in all. We find
them among the rich and the poor, sup
per-ten" and the slower Million" in the
church and out of it. They are people
who have no higher ambition than to be
well uniformed in regard to other people's
private business, to retail scandal to their
neighbors, and to exult in tiendish tri-
umphs over the wounded feelings and
bruised hearts of their innocent victims.

DoN'T Go TO THE CITY.-A member of
Congress lately asserted that there were
four hundred thousand unemployed peo-
pie in and about the city of New York
compelled to live by begging or plunder-
ing. The assertion was gross exagger-
alton of a lamentable fact. Probably
there are not one fourth of that mum ber
Nevertheless, it is true that not only New
York, but all our cities are overcrowded
The tendency is to crowd them still more.
Thousands of young men in the country
are looking forward to the time when they
can go to some large city, and there find
employment. They do not know that
the chances for success in life are far
greater in the country than in the city.
One ont Of hundred in city may be
able to lay up little money, and one
out of two thousand or so may become
weaIthy;a small portion will live in com
paratively comfortable circumstances; the
rest, even if they get and keep constant
employment, are drudges, who work hard,
get poor pay, besides being condemned
to unwholesome diet, and to breathe foul
air. In the country very few men have
an excuse for being wretChedly poor. The
nation would be richer, happier and
better, if the excess Of population in the
cities would remove to fertile farms, either
in New England or in the West, and en-
gage in filling the soil. 1t is an occupa-
tion quite as honorable as selling dry
goods, and far more desirable than the
drudgery or confinement of city life that
wears out the body before old age comes,
and offers no adequate wages to sustain
life in return Youths Companion.
