Pere Hyacinthe on Marriage.

"Pere Hyacinthe," in letter to Mr..
w. Forbes, OF Edinburgh. defends his
conduct in having married while priest
of the Roman Catholic church. NJ
Loyson says: & believe, with holy.
minded Roman bishop who advised me
to marry, that marriage is the first
sacrament established by God among
men, and upon which the priesthood
itself was founded, and that any him
drance placed thereon is Of Satan. AS to
what you say in regard to my marriage
being hindrance to my work in France.
I must tell you that this is a mistake,
for, without the least doubt, the great
majority of Catholics not only approve
of q married clergy, but, as in my case,
take it SIS the only real guarantee of 8
thorough reform; and / am convinced
that the great majority OF priests are
with me--som openly, but the greater
number alas think only in private what
they dare not, put yet into language. ]
know very well that there exists GER
tain worldly and not influential class
among the clergy, as well as in society,
who, in the language of our lsmented
Mgr. Dsrboy, put their immortality
under the protection of their ultramon-
tantim.' Those are they who cry loudest
against me: and I also know that there
are so-cslled distinguished snd delicate
minds, who, as NJ. Guizot says, deny
God, but believe in the celibsey of the
priests. In view OF the general reform,
the initiative of which, thank God, is SC
encouraging, it seems very imprscticable
to enjoin upon those who have made
vows to first be released from them BY
Rome before protesting against her
Aside from all personal considerations,
am convinced from the assertion of divine

directest and severest .blow struck at

Charlottesville Va.) Chronicle.
It is related that while Thomas Mann
Randolph was governor Of Virginia, he
was arrested within few hundred yards
of his home in this county, and carried
prisoner to his own house. The story
is to the following effect: The governor
was on visit to his home, and finding
that the fencing on his plantation wss
pulled down and burned by wagoners
passing slong from the valley to Rich
mond, he determined to detect and pun
ish them. One evening he observed a
party go into camp on the roadside, and
after dark he strolled down to 8 point
where he could conveniently watch
them. He stayed out all night, but the
wagoners made no depredations on his
fences. In the early morning, however,
when they were about 10 kind'e the fires
10 prepare breakfast, they started out to
gather up what fuel they might find for
that purpose, when they spied man
sitting on the fence short distance
ahead.
on it appears that short time
before, Gov. Randolph had issued his
proclamation, Offering a reward for the
capture of an escaped horsethief, and
the wsgoners, who had seen the descrip'
ton of the convict, thought they oisco7'

man on the fence and the escaped felon

yolks of two hard boiled eggs, and tea

from the asparagus before the vinegar is

for one good sized bunch of asparagus.

NlnLtc the Calculation.

Some few, who have not estimated
the cost, are just now thinking that
the proposed railroad bonds will
add largely TO their taxes. Take
your pencil and make the calcula-
ton. BY reading the proposition
you will notice that only the inter-
est is payable during The first ten
years. AT s per cent. this amounts
to $4,000. Calling our assessment
S2,000,000. a one-miIl levy will give
$4,000. To raise $1,000 would there
fore require four-mill levy. The
man whose assessment is $1,000
would be taxed 81 a year for the
bonds; $4,000, SS; $4,000, $l2; $500,
50 year, and so on.
The man rhO pays 81 gear tao
for the ne,C rdilrOdd cW almost
make 1t back in the reduced price on
one toad Of coal, to say nothing of
gain Oh all the coal he uses, besides
grain, lumber, merchandise, etc.,
shipped.
The u. p. advocate will insist that
this presents only part Of the cost,
which is a fact. After 1890 the
principal ($l00,00O may be paid at
any time, at the option of the coun-
ty. We will suppose that she un-
dertakes, after ten years, to pay
$l0.000a a year of the principal. In
1891 the interest, $4,000, and $4,000
of the principal would amount to
| $lS000. We make the reasonable
supposition that our assessment will
be at least double what it is now,
that is, $I,000,000; a one-mill levy
on which would give $4,000, which
divided into $4,000 gives the levy,
AZ mills. The tax then on 81 l,00C
would be 81 80 and so OIL. In 1895
there would be interest TO pay on
$4,000. At s per cent. this would
be $1,000; another $4,000 of the
principal added would be $4,000
which would require levy of four

Next week, Saturday, is the elec-
ton day for bonds to the Lincoln e
Northwestern road. One compet-
ing line will give US more, which
will result in securing TO us as low
rates as reasonal men could ask.
Don't forget the day; make hOli-
day of it; spend your time at the
polls, and induce your neighbor, by
all the arguments in your power, to
vote for the bonds. Show him the
advantage i'm the items of grain,
coal and lumber. These alone will
convince him that competing line
is what all of us need, need bad, and
need now. U. Z. men are trying to
make voters believe that that COM
pany will buy up the road after it
is built. Don't you be deceived by
what they say. Jay Gould declares
he'll build a parallel road from here
to Atchison. That's all right. If
he can afford it, we certainly can.
This threat to A. IL N. officials don't
look as though Gould himself tho't
he could buy their road.
The election in Butler county
takes place tomorrow, and there is
no device or plan or scheme that has
been left untried by the U. p. to
defeat the l.. q n. bonds. They
may try something new here, but it
IS too late an the day to change the
convictions .fred by gears Of patient
toll, and aoaiting for railroud COM

managers had no cause to feel dis
couraged on that account. In the

were entered. In the 3 so class the
entries were as follows: "Hank

was entered against time. "Kate

laid failed 10 beat 3 81. The horses
that won the races might be regard
ed as home horses.
The second day of the races was
attended by 1000 people. The track
was in good condition, but the high
winds made the day somewhat iisa-
greeable. I'm the pacing race were
entered Lady &, and Little Frank,

Awful Storm.

A dispatch from Atchison, Kan.
says that a terrible storm of wind
and rain passed over northern Kan
sas and southern Nebraska on the
evening of the 30th ult., killing a
great number of people and injuring
a great many more. Dwelling
houses and buildings of all descrip-
tions were blown down and crush
ed to pieces. The house Of Mr..
Harris near Blue Springs was
demolished. Mr.. Harris, his wife,
little girl were killed, and three
other children mortally wounded.
Mr.. Harris was taken up into the
air, and carried about two hundred
feet in the course of the storm, then
moved and dashed to the earth,
while his wife and child were car
ried about the same distance in the
opposite direction.

Each man who has wheat, oats,

else TO ship to a market, or who
buys lumber, coal or merchandise

VIDETTE.
The Columbus journal., 1879-06-04

THE Omaha, Niobrara IL Black Hills
railroad has not yet met with much
success. In Platte county it would not
accept $4,000 bonds offered il, and the
Atchison & Nebraska company have
submitted a proposition for 500, 900.
As the Union Pacific pays three dollars
OF every sixteen of the taxes in Platte
county, it will do some lively bucking
to defeat this competing line.
The above from the Niobrara Pr
oneer contains the kernel of the
situation here, so far as the U. p. is
concerned. If they wanted to build
a road north from here they would
not have refused to submit such a
proposition, and now it is reported
that they are making no special
effort to carry the bonds in Madison
county. The naked truth is that the
L. z. is working now only for the
defeat of bonds to the Lincoln &
Northwestern in Seward. Butler and
Platte counties, and don't mean to
construct a road at all. The u. p.
don't want to be taxed, here and in
Butler, to build up a rival-one,
too, that will decrease their profits
100000 a year, in the two counties.
