Two BILLS WORTHY OF ATTENTION. the
huge batch of bills presented week before last
in the House there were two worthy of atten-
ton. One of these, introduced by Mr.. Davis
Dem of North Carolina, repeats the prohi-
bition of the payment of pensions to those
who took part in the rebellion, and the 9TH
err, introduced by Mr.. Gunter (Dem.) of
Arkansas, repeats the existing laws which re-
quire loyalty as prerequisite for presenting
a war claim. It may be doubted if the Con
stitutionnl amendments can be so constructed
as TO permit the pensioning of rebel soldiers,
SO that those who favor this scheme must
wait until there is such a change in popular
sentiment as will lead to an amendment to the
clause containing the prohibition, or depend
upon Gen. Butler, who favors promiscuous
granting of pensions to loyal and disloyal
alike, to devise some scheme TO evade the
present provision. In reference to the mat
ter of claims, the case is very different. Re
peal the present laws and both claimants will
appear before Congress or the tribunal for the
settlement of those claims on equal grounds
When this is DONE Mr.. De Ia Martyrs one
thousand million of new paper money will be
required to pay the claimants.

RELIGIOUS AND TEMPERANCE IMPosToRs.
Apropos to the recent escapade of Peter Dwy-
er, a spurious evangelist of New York city,
and the adventures of the bigamistic temper
ance orator, Cheney, in Vermont aud Massa.
chusetts, we notice n series of special revival
services, now being held in Manchester, Eng
land, which are apparently run by set of re-
lgious impostors or lunatics. They call them
selves The Salvation Army" and their ser
vices are held in 1.-The Salvation Temple.
Their handbils for a recent Sunday announc-
ed the following highly varied and well sea
soned programme: Captain Booth, with his
hallelujah fiddle Happy Bill and Glory Tom
from Sheffield Shaker Bill from Blackburn,
and converted collier, band of hallelujah
lasses, the champion pigeon flyer, and the
champion wrestler of Over Darwen, and Mrs.
Wilson, the singing pilgrim, who will pray
aud speak for God" The applications in
which this rowing band of evangelists delight
are Il trihe too suggestive of the names which
conyicts bear and there is indeed some
ground for the suspicion that the bearers OF
them would be quite as much at home among
conyicts as in the pulpit. We notice that
some of the religious papers are beginning TO
be awakened to the improperly OF turning
half-eonyerted thieves and wantons loose up
ON the public TO trayesty religion by intro
ducing the methods of the minstrel show and
the dance hall into evangelistic labor. 1t Is
time that the wretched business was termin-
ated.-BOStOR Journal.

The CHIEF OF POLICE in New Orleans has
issued an order requiring that colored preach
ers shall be notified that all services in their
churches must hereafter be closed at ten
o'clock at night. Under no circumstances
must they be allowed to hold services after
this hour says the order and "affidavits
must be made against preachers violating
this order, for disturbing the peace" This
edict has been issued by instruction Of the
mayor, and is now in force. 1t applies only
to coored preachers. This order shows n
surveillance of and discrimination against the
colored people of New Orleans testifying
more than pages of friendly proiestations, to
the real spirit of the now dominant party in
Louisiana. The negroes are TO be reminded
in every way that they belong to an inferior
race and that their rights are held at the dis
erection of the master race. Orders like this
forming part of a persistent prosecution Of
the colored population, account for the I'M
rest of singularly docie people, and their
determination to emigrate wherever they can
have equal rights with the whites.

physician complaining bitterly about dull times,
went to his druggist TO ind out the why, at
this season Of the year, HE practice not extern
siye formerly; also to md out what inducements
his brother medico offered to attract away his pa
tents. He startled when bis druggist answered
follows; doctor, coughs and colds very prev
alent, but every one is purchasing HALE's HONEY OF
HOREHoUSD AND TAR, and recover so rapidly that
there is no necessity of calling in physician. Again,
the reason that Dr. f., til street, is having so

all his patients when troubled with any disease Of the

How THE FARM WAS BoUGHT.-A young
man was very anxious to secure piece of
property which was Just then for sale on very
advantageous terms. He went to confer with
friend of his, who was banker, about the
matter, and to inquire whether it would be
prudent to borrow the requisite sum and pay
it in regular instalments. He thought he
should be able to manage all but the first in
stalment He was advised to borrow from
the bank n sum enough larger than he wished
to raise to cover the first payment, lay it
strictly aside and then go ahead But,
said his friend, you must spend literally
nothing. You must live off your place You
must make box and drop in it all the mon
ey you receive" The young man and his
wife went bravely to work to follow his ad-
vice. If it was necessary to dine off II head
of boiled cabbage and salt, they did so and
never grumbled. Every payment was prompt
ly met. The egg money, and the butter mon
ey-all went into the payment-box, and
at the specified time the place was theirs
There was an invisible wealth about such
hard-earned possessions that common Observ-
ers knew nothing Of On the day of the last
payment the young man presented himself
before his friend with smiling face and with
the money in his hand. There were no rags
to be SEEN but his clothing was well-covered
with darns from head TO foot. you see l
have followed your advice" he said, casting a
glance over himself, land my wife looks
worse than do. But Ihave earned the farm
and now | know how to earn another. -C iH-

on Spiritualsm, in which lie is unequivocally

The NEW CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL in Fifth
avenue. New York, is the most beautiful and
costly ecclesiastical edifce in the New World,
aud worthy to rank with many of the marvel
lous churches of the Old. Everything about
it is genuine. The architects have not re-
sorted to wood in order to exc ont deficiencies
in stone, but pillars, arches flowers, foliage
and arabesques are all in pure while marble,
recalling the lace-like miracles of the Belgium
churches If architecture be frozen music, "
this noble cathedral is an oratorio in marble.
Moreover, it rises not from the largesses of
the rich, but from contributions of the poor,
aud is monument of the earnest faith and
inexhaustibe liberality Of the Catholics.
