bitterness. The really remarkable feature Of the
dispute was the strong position taken by the
orthodox Faculty Of Yale College against the
reading. They claimed that home was the PLACE
for Biblical instruction., and that in the rablic
schools, supported by the taxation Of men OF all
kinds OF faith, only secular education should be
given. But the Catholics, who rely considerably
upon Biblical teaching in the schools fer securing
converts, and the Protestants, who believe the
Bible should be 50 read, because Il IS New Enc
land tradition, struck hands and have elected a
Board who will restore the reading. remember
being quite sharply reproved by 4 learned divine.
some years ago, for saying, in the radicaIism Of
boyhood, that the Bible should not be read in
public schools. L have lived to see the great
orthodox Faculty Of Yale College, headed bv
President Porter, who has lately been put to the
front as the champion Of eternal punishment, re-
pudiating the doctrines Of the =. fathers" and
dancing a solemn, moral jig on the loose and de-
cayed platform OF the old faith. Professionalism
has been caught in its own trap. While it was
dominant and supreme. it held that wicked sin
ners only doubted the propriety Of reading the
Bible in the schools. Now that Catholicism Is
sharing the instruction in the schools, and has in
many instances become the dominant power, and
is using the practice of Bible reading to further
the ends of the Church, Professionalism sees a new
light, and begins to think the practice hardly
right. The matter is worse in this city. This
reading of the Bible in the schools, with the re-
ligious instruction connected with 1t, was con-
sidered a great power for good in the hands of
the orthodox church. But Catholicism has
wrested away much of that power. The final
result is, that much of the money paid in taxa
ton by Protestants is supporting many active,
thoroughly equipped Catholic schools, and the
leaders of the Roman party are laughing in their
sleeves at the spectacle of the Protestants 90 hoist
by their own p~etard." There is a majority of
eighty thousand Catholic voters in this city, and
the Protestants will be dosed with their own
so long as this majority holds. Catholi-
cism has seen its best days here. l believe, but
its organization is still superb. 1 have often
counted off the people leaving one of the great
of that faith, and the proportion would
be one man to a hundred women. This means
decline and dissolution, in due course of time.

tons and sagacious discipline will make a show

THE MAzzINI STATUE.-The following is the
closing portion of Mr.. Bryant's speech at the un-
yelling Of the statue of Mazzini, in Central park,
and has a peculiar interest from the fact that they
are the poets last public words Italy is now
united under one political head-save a portion
arbitrarily and unjustly added to France-and to
the public opinion formed in Italy by the teachings
OF Mazzini the union is in large measure due.
Italy has now a constitutional government, the
best features of which it owes to the principles
of republicanism in which Mazzini trained a
whole generation of the young men of Italy. One
great result for which he labored was the perfect
freedom for religious worship. Such a hero deserves
q monument in a land where the government
knows no distinction between religious denomina-
tons, and leaves their worship to their consciences.

THE " HAPPY HARBoR' OF A COMMUNITY OF 80 \.
GENT sALTs"-A VALUABLE INDUSTRY REVIVED.

THE - HAPPY HARBoR' OF A COMMUNITY OF San.
GENT sALTs"@ VALUABLE INDUSTRY REVIVED.
A correspondent writing from New Bedford.
Mass, says: The whaling industry, which re,
ceiyed so disastrous a blow by the discovery OF
petroleum IN Pennsylvania and it's substitution
for sperm and whale oil as an illuninant and
lubricant, after years of languishing, seems,
during the past two years, to have taken a fresh
start, and during the present season shows signs
OF even an increased activity. Pending this long
season of languor and decline, new interests and
enterprises on an enlarged scale have completely
diverted this trade from historic Nantucket.
a quarter of a century ago the whalers of
Nantucket were seen in eTery ocean on the face
OF the globe accessible to he pursuit of the fnny
monsters, which furnished the valuable article of
which constituted the hard-earned
wealth of the island. To-Day not a single ship is
fitted out from there, owing to the mysterious
formation Of a bar off the only suitable harbor
on the coast. The island itself, Invested of its
shipping. is still the happy harbor " of a
community of ancient " salts who look out
upon their deserted wharyes and mourn over the
departed glory OF Nantucket, while the young
men, trained to hardship, exposure and bravery
upon her own storm-riveu shores, are compelled
To seek a held Tor their adventurous spirits at
the ports on the mainland, which have, in the
new order Of things, monopolized the trade.
The whar7es at New Bedford are now busy
n'tinS out snlps Tor new enterprises. \ num-
Der OF OLD craft, which have been lying there idle
Tor nearly a decade, dismantled and housed, are
being treated to a fresh coppering and c~aulking,
a scraplng and painting, and u brand new suit
OF sans. The cooPers are at work making new
casks IN which to stow away the oil on ship
board. The New Bedford whale fleet now COM
prizes I33 vessels, which is about one-half the
OF the whole whaling fleet of the United
states. Proyincetown, on Cape Cod, owns a
heet OF % vessels Fairbayen, Marion, Dart
mouth and Nestport, Mass, have ten vessels
amongst them EdgartOwn, Martha's Vineyard,
thEee Boston, FIVE; New London, Conn, ten,
md Stonington, Conn, two.
The discovery of divers combinations of refined
and whale oil for Illuminating, lubri-
'atlnS and other mechanical and scientific pur-
poses has largely increased the new demand for
ms OIL and with this increased demand new ad-
centuries, with higher prices and active markets
