Religious Freedom.

r. W. Dale in the Nineteenth Century,
In England | am reminded wher-
ever go that the State is hostile to
my religious opinions and practices.
Diocesan episcopacy, in my Judgment,
deprives the commonality Of the
church of many of their rights, and
releases them from many of their du-
ties; but in every parish | find an
Episcopal clergyman who, according
to Mr.. FQrsters accurate description,
is a servant Of the state. Though |
am minister of religion, the civil
government has placed me and my
family under the spiritual charge of
the Vicar Of EdgbastOn; that excel
lent gentleman is my pastor and re-
ligious teacher | am not obliged to
hear him preach, but the State has
thought it necessary to entrust him
with the duty of instructing me in
Christian truth and celebrating for my
advantage the Christian sacraments.
The doctrine Of baptismal regenera-
ton seems to me u mischieyous super
stition, but | cannot say this to any
body without being in revolt against a
great national institution. Now and
then | am bound to liberate my CON
science, and | tell my congregation
what | think of the doctrine; but
within a couple of hundred yards
there are two national buildings in
which, under the authority of the
State, the State clergy gives thanks
to Almighty God for the regeneration
of every child they baptize, and in
which grown men and women are
taught that in baptism they were made
members of Christ, children of God
and MbeEitAts Of the Kingdom Of
heaven The law is against me. 1t
tolerates me, but it condemns me.
1t barks, though it does not bite. Ii

her Of those people in divers parts Of

may certainly know the rule to which
he is to conform in public worship
/ am permitted TO break the rule, but
the rule stands. 1t is the policy Of
the State to induce the country to
accept or retain religious doctrines
which seem to me to be erroneous,
and an ecclesiastical polity which
seems to me to be unfriendly to the
free and vigorous development of the
religious life. The position of non
eonformist in this country is, to say
the least, not pleasant one. His re-
ligious work is carried on in the pres
ence of government which condemns
his creed, condemns his modes of
worship, condemns his ecclesiastical
organization, and sustains the author
ity of hostile church.
In the United States | breathed
freely. | was under the flag of a
foreign government, but the law had
nothing to say against my religious
belief or my religious practices, and
there was no national institution es-
tablished with the direct intention of
maintaining religious beliefs and prac-
tices which | reject. During the last
few years several English ministers
Presbyterians and COngregationalists
have become the pastors of Ameri-
can churches, In conversation with
one of the theological faculty of Yale,
| said that | thought we ought to at
tempt to make reprisals. He replied /.
No; you will not get American
ministers to become pastors of Non
conformist churches in England. We
do not like to be under the bane."

San Francisco Chronicle.
Domestic unhappiness is believed
to have been the motive that led Col
Richard Realf to suicide. On Satur-
day he tried to obtain loan Of money
from some Of his associates in the
mint, saying that he desired to buy
laudanum and chloral. hydrate to pois-
on himself, and one of them, discred-
iting his words, lent hima dime, which
he expended for laudanum, but the
dose was too small. On Saturday a
woman who claims to be the wife of
Realf. and who holds certificate of
marriage to him, dated in 1867, arrived
in this city from Pittsburg, and ascer-
tanning where Realf lived, went to the
house and informed the landlady that
she was Mrs. Realf She waited until
Realf returned, and told him that she
had come to him. He replied that
his wife would shortly reach the city
from the East, and he intended to rent
furnished apartments for her, and that
he would live with no other woman.
Catherine Cassidy Is the maiden name
of the alleged Mrs. Realf, and she says
that although he deserted her four
years ago for another woman, now in
Now York city, and has made an un.
successful attempt to procure a decree
Of divorce on the ground of incom-
patibility of temperament, she (Cath.

LIFE or A KING.
The morning dispatches give au ae
count Of an attempt made yesterday at
Naples to assassinate the king of Italy |
The would.be :regicide was poorly
clad man, a cook by occupation, and
when arrested said that he belonged
to no society, but had cherished a
hatred against the king. The mis-
guided wretch was arrested, though
not until he had slightly wounded the
prime minister and received severe
blow from King Humbert with his
sword The occasion chosen was when
a deputation was waiting upon the
king to present a petition. The pres
ence of mind displayed by the royal
party was highly commendable, and
was the cause Of great enthusiasm
among the people. At Naples and at
Rome, as well as other cities, there
were great demonstrations Of rejoicing
among the people at the fortunate
escape of the king. lie seems to be a
wise, moderate prince, who studies the
interests of his subjects and has a
strong hold upon their affections This
is the third attempt that has been
made upon the lives Of ruling soycr-
cigns in Europe within few months
Last summer desperate assault was
made upon Emperor William, Of Ger
many, and he was seriously wounded.
Not many weeks ago a similar attack
was made upon the young king OF
Spain, and now an attempt has been
made to assassinato King Humbert,
whose popularity among the masses il
almost unbounded. 1t seems to be a
prevailing mania among class Of ia
natios who arc becoming entirely toe

tion upon the country. The me
who plan and attempt such crime
are usually crack Drained enthusiast
who dream that great good may com
of violent deeds, and fancy that thei
own names will 90 down in the impeI
ishable annals of fame. The legend {
William Tell, though it has had il
patriotic uses, has also done a worl
of harm. 1t has nerved the arm {
the assassin as well as the hero of
iustifable cause. The most of the'
would be regicides no doubt hay
a streak of madness in their bloc
and do not reason from a NOR
intellectual conviction, but fro
blind impulse The best and sure
remedy for such criminal monstros
ties is prompt execution. 1t is que
tiohable whether a strictly republics
form of government is adapted to Il
wants and condition of any nation
Europe. The experiment failed
Spain, and the system is yet on prob
tion in France. When the people
any country in Europe are educate
up and prepared for a republican go
ernment the change can be accor
plished, but assassination does n
promote the cause.

Ratazzi had her summer residence at
AK, and was more particular as to
whom she invited, a gentleman dined
with her in company with a number
of friends. He was much amused to
perceive among the walters a large
monkey dressed in livery, and who
waited on the table, changing the
plates and performing other services
with the gravity and adroitness Of tn,
regular servants. Before admitting
the monkey to the dining-room, thC
hostess would cast a glance up anC
down to see if there were any bale
heads present, for the monkey, with
out any apparent reason, invariably, af
