In 1870 about six thousand people
of this State held a mass meeting in
New Orleans to protest against the
issuing of certain bonds, and declar-
ing their intention to oppose the pay
ment of the same. To-day we pub
lish the proceedings of that meeting,
and the preamble and resolutions
adopted; so that our people can IN
derstand what obligations the State
rests under to pay the debts now
agitating the convention.

AN INDIANA LOG AND 4 WOLF.

Mcdowell Cox, who lives about
four miles from Lafayette, in Wabash
Township, about two weeks ago lost q
dog which he highly priced. The
last that was seen of the animal was
one day about that length of time ago,
when he scared up some unknown
creature and darted out of sight after
it.
A day or two ago Mr.. Cox accident
ally discovered the dead body in the
woods, and about thirty feet distant
the dead body of a large wolf. The
ground around the wolf was covered
with hair torn from his woolly coat.
Evidently the dog, after long
struggle, had killed the wolf, and then
walking off a distance of thirty feet or
so, laid down to die.
The wolf stood about twenty two
inches in height when on his feet, and
was more than twice as large as the
dog.

Pastors Salaries.

"Burleigh'' writes to the Boston
Journal: "a large number of the New
York pastors are very wealthy men.
This is almost Away rue Of the Cath
olics, and has been true of nearly all
Of the old pastors. DR.. Spring was a
very rich man, and in old age married
a very wealthy woman for a wife. The
elder Tying is a millionaire; DR.. William
Adams has always been rich since he
has been in New York. DIR. Beaveair,
of Trinity church, has an estate in litig-
alton to-day. A large portion of the
clergy are poor. Two or three of the
denomination are rich. Nearly every
successful doctor has a fortune. It is
the same with eminent legal practition-
ers. When the minister gets poor, as
he does at the last Of his life, the lawyer
and the doctor become rich. When he
outlives his usefulness, as he does when
he becomes old, the lawyer becomes a
judge and the doctor a professor. 1
asked an eminent physician, the other
day, Why is thisP He replied: 1t re-
suits from the way we begin. Nearly
every practicing physician and lawyer
at the start is poor. He has his fame to
get, and his fortune to win. He spends
years in laying the foundation of his
fame. He studies economy, and rigid
ly looks out for the coppers. He isn't
required to entertain anybody, and no.
body expects he will maintain the style
of a successful merchant or rich lawyer.
He travels little, and earns his money
before he spends it. A minister takes
his position at bound. The younger
he is the more popular he is. He takes
a rank with a lawyer and merchant
and doctor at the start. He is flush in
funds, and imagines his bright day
will always last. The money that he
should lay up for his waning hours he
spends in trips to Europe, and visits
the places of fashion and culture. When
the pastor has got to the summit and
looks down the western slope, he has
spent his money, just IS the doctor and
lawyer have the foundations Of their
wealth laid and fame and usefulness
well secured. There is not profession
in New York in which it is 30 easy to
lay up a competence for the future as
the ministerial one. Theayerage pay
is larger than any other profession"

The Gorrla.

A gorilla from the west coast of
Africa is now lodged in the Crystal Pa
lace, London. The chimpanzee and the
the orang-outang have arms that en-
able them, with a slight stoop, to touch
the ground, while the arm of gorilla is
not much out of proportion to a long
armed human being. In the form of
the hands and fingers, too, it is more
like, these being much shorter than
those of the other two. Most of all its
ear is strikingly human, for it is small
and beautifully formed, and instead of
a thin leathery flap jutting outward is
set well in the head. 1t has also q well
formed brow, and its dark brown eyes
are lighted up with an expression that
seems to speak of latent intelligence. In
profile it had the exact resemblance to
a little Guinea negro, the blacklist Of
blacks; but looked at full-faced the al
most total absence of a nose, the fiat
open nostrils, the long and powerful
jaws and the vast cavity which forms
the mouth, rob it Of what is suggestive
of the 'shuman face divine" When
standing at its full height the gorilla
may be about two feet, but if he lives
to be full grown it may attain from
four to five feet.

OLD But GOOD.
Humorist upon "coks Upon Littleton.'

A Humorist upon "Coke Upon Littleton."
Every gentleman ought to know a
a little Of law, says Coke, and perhaps,
say we the less the better.
The term law, in its general sense,
signifies a rule of human action, wheth-
err animate or inanimate, rational OF ir-
rational; and perhaps there is nothing
more human or irrational than an ac-
tion at law.
The judges decide what is a custom
and what is not. They, in fact, make
the law, by saying what 1t means;
which, as it scarcely ever means what
it says, opens the door to much variety.
The best Of the old law treaties is
Coke upon Littleton, by which ohscurity
has been made doubly obscure.
If statute that repeats another sit
self repealed the first statute is revived;
another provision which is in the ma
ture of law though not in the law of
nature. 1t is as if we should say that
If M man kills another, and he is af-'
forwards killed. the first man revives-
a position which none but a lawyer
would insist upon.
Each member of society gives up a
a portion of his own individual liberty,
in consideration of receiving the ad-
vantages of mutual commerce, says
Coke, in his Institutes; but he does not
go on and tell us the commercial ad-
v~antages enjoyed by newly-born baby.
In the eye of the law, the life and
limbs of a man are of such value that
he may sacrifice the life and limbs of
any one else in defending them. This,
says Coke, is upon the good old English
principle of tit for tat; but what is the
origin Of the word, tit" or what is the
exact meaning of the word "tat,' the
old ~jurists have never told us.
Next to personal security comes per-
sonal liberty, which consists in the
power of moving from place to place
a luxury often INDUCED in by debtors,
occupants of furnished lodgings and

THE PARTY o. DIscoNrENT
New Problems That are Develop
ing Themselves.

A late number of the Nation, I'M
der the above caption, discusses
some features of the party discon-
tent, and concludes as follows:
How closely and In what trouble
some for1ss they are likely to press
ON Us has been set out i'm the last
number OF the Atlantic Monthly, by
the very able writer who has been
during the last year contributing to
that periodical a remarkable series
of articis on the mental and moral
condition of the working classes.
His description of the views about
the sphere of government which
are making their way among the
wOrkingmen, and which are preach
ed by the ''sincere demagOgues"
who lead them, are worthy of the
attentive peruSal of all who desire
to know the nature of the problems
which American political parties
will De called on to solve during the
next fifty years. They are problems,
too, which we shall not be able to
deal with afar, with the aid of
troops collectors, and United
States MarshalS, like the Southern
question, but which every man will
have to solve at his own door and
in his own farm or store. That
article moi only goes far to explain
the persistence of the Greenback
movement, and the Butler move
ment, but prepares us for the ap-
pearance OF others of like nature,
possessing more conference and a
better organization. 1t explains,
too, the growing difficulty of keep
ing people in Maine and Massachu-
sets, who have hard struggle tOget
bread and education for their child
rem, in fever-heat of excitement
because the civilization of South
Carolina is still low, and because
human life in Mississippi is less
sacred than in New York and Ohio.
1t does, however, more than this.
1t indicates very clearly that any
party which, like the Republican
party, boasts that it contains the
conservative intelligence of the
country and assumed the RESPONSE
bility of maintaining and defending
the existing social order, must de-
wise for this purpose some better
instrumentality than electing die
tator or keeping alive the dying
embers of bloody strife. 1t must 20
back to the spirit as well as to the
agencies of its early days, and be-
gin the slow and perhaps dull pro-
cess of educating the discomfort
masses, both Southern and North
ern, into sound economic and social
ideas, as it once educated them into
hatred of slavery, by the lectures
and speeches and books of men
who loved the party as the early
Republican loved it; not as the
means of getting so many offices for
so mony workers" but as the
means of making the popular NOR
atty a sure and lasting foundation
for rational political liberty.

TIE italian government Is about
TO construct a large observatory on
Mount Etna. A site has been Sc
lected at q height of Q 1852 feet above
the level of the sea, near the Cass
degl Inglesi, so called from build
ing erected there i'm 1911 by the
English during their occupation of
Sicily. The purity of the atmOs-
phere is so great at this elevation
that the planets can be observed
with the naked eye almost as well
as with telescopes of low power
through the thick atmosphere of
towns. Venus, when shining alone
in the heavens, casts a distinct
shadow. This will be the second
Hottest observatory in the world,
the United States signal station at
Pixies Peak, in Colorado, at an ele-
walton of Il, 1886 feet, being the lofti-
est station.
