CHURCH PATRONAGE.
THE BONDAGE OF AN ESTABLISHED
CHURCH ILLUSTRATED BY SOME ENGLISH
FIGURES.
corresnondence Cincinnati Gazette.

Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.
Now, word about patronage. The con-
own PASTOR Gle 5s psrsoh s6 b BODY sfaao
holding the right of presentation to the liv-
ing is called the patron. In most cases the
patron is not even member of the congre-
CATION; indeed it is not even essential that
he should be church member at all. Arch
bishops, bishops and chapters of cathedrals
have the patronage of large number OF
livings--3, 472 in all-and the Archbishop
of Canterbury alone appoints to 1856. The
Lord Chancellor appoints to 65S livings,
and alternately to twenty-five others. Ok
ford University appoints to 396; Cambridge
319 the Provost and Fellows of Eton Col
lege to 46, and the Dean and Canons OF
Windsor to 61 The entire patronage IN
ecclesiastical hands amounts to 5,307 llv-
ings. By far the greater number of bene-
tices-over 8, 1000 in all-are held by private
persons. The legal name OF the patronage
of living is advowson, and British Ia"
recognizes advowsons as real property. AS
such they are transferable. An appendant
adyowson is attached to some estate, and
cannot be separated from it, but is always
factor of the value of the estate just as
much as the buildings. An advowson in
gross is not SO attached to an estate, and
NAV be sold almost as readily as horse.
AS matter of fact, they are sold and traded
in every day, freely and openly, and in
London there are seven or light well-known
agencies whose sole business is trade in and
sale of advowsons, and sale of right OF next
presentation to livings. These agencies
openly advertise their wares, and there is
little or no attempt made to keep any one
in ignorance of the traffic.

Death Of Sam Bard.

A dispatch from Baton Rouge, La, an
nounces the death of Sam Bard. He was
attacked by the yellow fever and died on
Wednesday night before his family could
be summoned to his bedside. Physicians
made every effort to save his life, applying
all the known and many experimental REM
edies, but without avail. Mr.. Bard was
about So years of age. He was born IN
New York and went to Louisiana when he
was State Superintendent of instruction
before the war. He joined the Confederate
army and served with the rank of Major.
After the war he started Republican pa
per at Atlanta, Ca, and opposed Bullock.
He nominated Grant IN behalf OF the South
in 1868 and was made postmaster. He was
dismissed by Postmaster Jewell for being
sstoo unanimous" He went to Pensasola,
Fla, and started the daily Herald. The
venture was failure, and he then went to
Baton Rouge and started the weekly Her
aid. He was nominated for but did not
accept the Goyernorship of Idaho Terrific
ry.
Mr.. Bard was a strong supporter Of Gen.
Grant for a third term, and in the early
part of 1875 made o speech before the
Southern Republican Association at Wash
ington, which attracted much attention,
and during which he said -" In my opiti-
ion General Grant is the only man who
can save the Republican party and COM
plete the work Of reconciliation. The pres
emf Democratic Congress is proof that the
South is not yet reconstructed. We may
have hloodshed IN the canvass. We must
stand by our colols. II the Democrats do
not 90 to political hell, then there is no
God. IN Y. Herald, Sept. Ri.

HOW BAssICK TUMBLED ON FORTUNE OF
$4,000 DAY.
Leadville, Col, letter to chicago Tribune.

Leadville, Col, letter to Chicago Tribune.
One day mining vagabond, named Bas-
sick, just from Australia, without dollar
in his pocket began digging in Tyndall
Hill. About three feet under ground there
was calcareous substance like chalk or
rotten refuse chalky matter. That formed
the whole hill. The people of Rosita were
all laughing at the poor beggar who had
found mine ''as big as piece of chalk"
Bassick's Whitewash Mine " it was call
ed in derision. The tattered prospector
brought the lime down, had assay made of
it and found it very rich in carbonite of
lead carrying silver. AS soon as the discov-
cry was made known the country went wild.
Digging down he found powders, and peb-
bles from the size Of hickory nut to that
of pumpkin. They lay like pebbles in the
bed of river, in this horizontal gulch or
river bed of lime. Every pebble was coat
ed with pure silver cloride, as thick usually
as the finger nail. The like of this forma-
tion-bowlders in silver capsules-is found
nowhere else in the known world It is so
far geological puzzle. From the surface
of the ground down 200 feet that ore has
paid richer than any mine in this country.
Bassick has worked the mine six months,
having the ore we'll worked by Professor
Hill, of Black Hawk. So far it has yielded
and is yielding Mr.. Bassick an average of
1854, 900 month. This may be considered
pretty big yarn. l stood with my mouth
open for at least half an hour after I heard
it. At length got my paralyzed jaws into
working order, and began an investigation.
They shouldn't fool me if I was green
one, and had no shares in anything except

vine then and there to die in, when recall

walked over during my lifetime. The
thought was agony. Perhaps these hills
were full of silyer-coated pills.

Horrible Case Of Yellow Fever at aalllpolis.

While DR.. Carr was at Gallipolis, his at
teption was called to case of yellow fever
ten miles out from the place, and in COM
pany with resident physician, rode out in
a buggy to the house Of small farmer by
the name of Buck or Burke, whose son was
the victim. DR.. Carr arrived at the place
after nightfall, and found the farmer sit.
ting at a watch-6re, of pine knots in front
of his domicile, afraid to enter lest ne
should catch the yellow fever. The doctor
made known the object of his visit. The
man said he was glad to see him, for he
said that all the rest of the family bad
gone-scared away by his sons horrible
sickness. He thought his boy was dead,
for he hadn't heard him for several hours,
and did not dare enter the house. While
they we're talking groan was heard in the
! house. DR.. Carr took brand and entered,
and following the directions of the father
found the bedroom, but not the patient.
| The place was in q state of disorder and
was very filthy. An abominabie stencil
| peryaded it, and the floors of the three
ground floor rooms were smeared all over
with black vomit. 1t was sickening sight.
DIR. Carr came out and told the father that
the young man was not inside. "He must
be in there somewhere" replied the man,
ofor heard him groan just now" Dr
Carr replenishsd his light and re-entered'
and after more careful search found what
be thought at first was a negro, covered
with black and filthy clothing, in dirty
corner behind the cook:ng-stove Ii wal
the wrstched, abandoned and dying youth
covered with filth, who in his delirium ant
search for water had crawled all over TIM
dirty floors of the cabin. and finally, e1
hausted, sank down to die. Dr. Car
learned that for twenty -four hours no on
had been near the poor wretch. his owl
flesh and blood forsook him and fed, ant
there he suffered and died in manner tha
freezes ones blood to think Of.

The Woman in Red.
Boston Transcript.

Soon after Lincoln's Inauguration in 1861
Paris was invaded by newly appointed
Ministers and consuls-Cassius NJ. Clay, on
his way to Russia Mr. Marsh, bound for
Italy Anson Bnrlingame, waiting to see
if Austria would receive him, and one or
two others, besides Fremont, who was on
special mission to purchase arms. OF
evenings, at the Hotel du Louvre, the fun
was fast and furious, and all the stories
that had done duty on the stump during
the preceding campaign were told for the
benefit of those who had spent the summer
of go abroad and missed it all. {" "Burling-
ame," said Kentuckian who happened to
be one of the party, "tell 'em about the
sgal in red.' Burlingame eolored up'
looked at Clay, and seemed puzzled.
Tell it, said Clay, "it's out, and they

Burlingame and Clay were stunping TO-
gether in the West. One evening they had
received particularly warm welcome, and
had returned to the hotel, when they were
sitting in their room smoking and congrat'
ulatinp each other on their success. Sud

DR.. Aiken on Mahommedanism.

The Rev, DR.. Aiken, of Princeton,
speaking ON Mahommedanism, says that it
numbers 120,000,000 of believers, and is
making more converts in India than Buddh-
ism and Christianity together. DR.. Aiken
SAYS that, although there can be nothing
divine in Mahommedanism, there must be
in it something to account for this spread
of power. No one can be successful win
ner of souls unless he has knowledge of
mans nature, and Islamism would never
have been successful but for its adoption to
human nature. It does not require over
much of the intellectually six simple ar
ticles of faith. Itrequires but little change
in the natural life of the convert passions
can be INDUCED and Injuries enjoyed, and
yet one be believer. 1t does not make
much of sin, but makes much OF Gods
mercy. And when once it has gained
convert the fearful consequences of apos-
tacy and it's constant ministrations to his
pride serve to keep HIM a convert always.
And to all this may be added the secret OF
the missionary spirit of this religion-the
belief-solemn and earnest belief-that
| God has given believers divine commits
| sion to put down error wherever they may
find it that He will richly reward such
efforts, both here and hereafter, and thar
Mohammed being the last and only propii-
ct they must convert the world now, il
ever. This, together with all the license
thus given to greed of conquest and plum
der, makes the believer restlessly aggres
| siye.

LANDLEss TITLEs.-A curious chapter
might be written on the origin of titles IN
the English pserage. Lord Lyndhurst,
who hadn't an acre of property, selected
that title from Lyndhurst in the New For
est. where he met his first wife Lords
Trero and Chelmsford from the places
where they got their first briefs. Yelling
ton took his title from Wellington in Som
ersetshire, from tradition that the Welles-
leys originally were seated at Wells-lea, or
meadow, in the neighborhood. He owned
no property in the county. Monk, Duke OF
Albemarle, chose that title because his fiat
terers persuaded him that his ancestry
could be traced to the ancient Dukes OF Al
bemarle, or Aumale, as it has since been
written, in France. SIR Stratford Canning
chose the title of Stratford de Redcliffe be-
cause tradition asserts that the Cannings
were, centuries ago, connected with Bristol,
where the famous Church of st. Mary Red
cliffe competes in grandeur with the cathe-
dral. "The bold and strong minded lord, =
as Macaulay calls HIM, chose Ellenborough,
| i is believed, in compliment to his beauti-
| ful wife. whose name was Ellen.

A GREAT EsTATE.-To illustrate the
grand scale on which some of the English
estates are laid out, may mention that the
Chatsworth estate Of the Duke of Devon
shire contains 1000 acres, which he retains
for his private park and flower garden, be-
sides thousands of acres more rented for
farming. His park is bounded on all sides
by hills which cut it off from the rest OF
the world and no ether house than his own
can be seen from the windows OF his grand
mansion. His flower garden alone COM
prises 1o2 acres, wherein go laborers are
constantly employed to keep it in order.
The remainder oil the 1900 acres are all in
grass and woodland, and stocked with deer.
A forester has charge of the estate, and the
understanding with him is that he shall
have at his disposal all the produce from
| the deer-yenlson, pelts, horns, etc.-on
condition that he shall keep at least 2,ooo
head constantly in the herd.

Beebe Plain Counting.

She was visiting some friends-was
pretty and stylish, and was admired
by several young men, one of whom
had permission to "call any time". He
was full of that juice of youthful as
piration that pertains to the advanced
age of nineteen or twenty, and he as
siduously cultivated an incipient growth
of eye brows on his upper lip, and had
rag'd out in his best, and approached
the abiding place of her he loved with
conscientious pride and gentlemanly
stride, thinking she might be watching
his coming from the window; so he
picked his dainty way through the
mud with due nonchalance, without
even so much as looking up to see if his
graceful contOrtions were observed.
To indicate the easy familiarity and
intimate terms he considered himself on
with this particular maiden, he thought
to enter the house by the side door, and
was in the act of reaching forth his
nicely gloved hand to knock, when the
dirty water struck him full in the face
and breast, completely whiting himself
and his immaculate shirt front.
5000! Why, Mr.. g., I-I-did'nt
mean-Oh, dear, dear" exclaimed the
little beauty.
"Tu-sh-ugh. It's no-ugh-nothing,
said Mr.. G., sputtering, catching his
breath and trying to smile smile, all
at the same time, making so cOmical an
appearance withal that the young lady
and her hostess, who was a witness of
the scene became convulsed with laugh
ter. This was too much; twas addingin-
suit to injury and the crest fallen young
man retreated, winding his homeward
way through fields and by-ways, and
then, he solemnly sweared swear, to
live and die a bachelor free-have moth
ing to do with the fair-and alone i'll

dizzy. But step or two more, and the
descent just made sinks into utter in
significance compared to what is before
us. Then we had the huge walls of the
parted rock as the rails of a staircase !;
now we have naught but the smooth,
rounded surface of the storm washed
boulders to cling to, and CT either side
of our narrow way depths at the bot
tom of which mans body could never
be discovered with human eye. Be-
hind us the precipitous rocks over and
through which we came ahead of us
the slender barrier of rock Overhanging
the appalling chasm, and all there ex-
lists between us and it. COwards at
heart, pale of face, and with painful
breath, we slowly crawl on hands and
knees to the ledge, and as the fated
murderer feels the knotted moose fall
down over his head, SO feel we as our
eyes extend beyond the rocks to catch
one awful glimpse of the eternity of
space. Few dare to look more than
once, and one glance suffices for COM
prehension of the meaning of the word
depth never before even dreamed of,
and never afterward forgotten. The
gorge is 1000 feet sheer depth, the
most precipitous and sublime in its pro-
portions of any chasm on the continent.
The opposite wall towers hundreds of
feet above us, and if possible to imagine
anything more terrifying than the posi-
tion on this side, that upon the other
would be, were its brink safe to ap-
proach. Overhanging crags, black and
blasted at their SUBMITS, or bristling
with stark and gnarled pines, reach up
into profoundly dizzy heights, while
lower down monstrous rocks threaten
to tOpple and carry to destruction any
foolhardy climber who weuld venture
upon them.
Among all the thousands who have
visited the Grand Canon and the Royal
Gorge, harm has befallen none, for
despite the seeming horror of the situa-
ton, the appalling depths and rugged
paths, the fascination of the danger ap-
pears to give birth to greatest caution.
The canon, except in the dead of win
ter, is approachable only from the top,
the walls below being so precipitous
and the river such torrent as to defy
all access. When frozen, as the waters
are for brief periods during the coolest
months, the way up the canon may be
accomplished, but only at the risk of
personal comfort and not little dan
ger. Mr.. Talbot, the photographer at
Canon City, ventured into the canon
last winter with his apparatus, and
after infinite trouble, secured the ex-
cellent views which afford us some con-
ceptiOn of the grandeur of the gorge

Roberts's Vermont Digest.

The legal profession in Vermont, and
elsewhere, will 6e gratifed at the an
nouncement of the completion of a
digest of the Vermont Reports. The
work has been prepared by Hon. Daniel
Roberts, of Burlington, in compliance
with contract with the Judges of the
Supreme Court and the State Librarian,
made some years ago, under a joint
resolution of the Legislature. 1t COM
prises the list of all the reported de-
State from 1889 to 1877, included in the
Reports of N. Chapman, Tyler, Bray ton,
d. Chapman, Aikens, and in Volumes |
to 46, inclusive, of the "Vermont Re-
ports" Until now, there has been no
digest of our Reports, since "Wash-
burne's Digest" which was published
in two volumes, the first in IS45, the
second in 1852. The 22nd volume of
the Reports was the last volume includ-
ed in Washburne. Mr.. Roberts's work
begins with the first volume of reports
published, and ends with Vol. 48. II
was the desire of the Judges of the Su-
preme Court, who made the contract
with Mr.. Roberts, that the digest should
be limited to one volume, if possible
and this has been done without sacrific-
ing matter needful to the clear under
standing of the law and the facts in
vOlved in each case.
The above work was printed at the
Free Press Office and we have no hesita-
tion in saying that it is the best exc
cuted work we have ever seen done in
this state.
