Bishop McCloskey, of Louisville, has followed
the example set In number of other Roman
Catholic d1oceses, and has issued an edict against
the attendance of Catholic children at the pub
lie schools. He orders that as soon as practical
BILE parochial schools be established in all the
parishes, and concludes his edict as follows
snow it is our will and command that where
there Is Catholic school in the parish, parents
and guardians in such places must send Their
children or wards who are under nine years
OF age to such Catholic school, and we hereby
direct that this obligation be enforced under pain
of refusal OF abSolutiOn in the sacrament of pen
ance. This decree will take effect on the first
day of January, $780,"
This decree has caused a social commotion In
Louisville, where over 1000 Catholic children
have been regularly attending the public schools.
The stand taken by some OF the Catholic priests
upon the public school question Is not endorsed
by large number Of the American Catholics,
and it is probable that Bishop McClosky will
find good deal of dissent to his ORDER

Unless Mr. Edison shall very speedily demon
strate that there is more in his electric light
than can be written upon paper, his prestige as
an inventor and his character as a man will
suffer very seriously in public estimation. There
Is very strong suspicion existing that the
Edison electric light is being used for the ques-
tionable purpose of bearing" gas stocks, and
this suspicion is rapidly gaining ground. The
tone of the press has, during the past few days,
undergone very marked change towards Mr..
Edison and his light, and, as he values his repu-
tation, he ought to hurry forward the final con-
clusion of his latest experiments. His delay in
making the promised public exhibition of his
light has operated unfavorably to Mr. Edison
The millions who are driven to pay what they
consider extortionate prices for gas are ready
to welcome anything that will give them a
cheaper light and to award honor to the inventor
of such light, but the all-prevailing love of
fair play and square dealing in this country will
condemn any schemes" for purposes of specu-
lation.

There is an improbable rumor atioat that Mr.
Tilden and Syndicate" OF his friends have
purchased majority OF the stock of the Penn
sylvania railroad, aud that a reorganization of
that company will take place. The purchase, it
is said, has been conducted with great secresy,
and under the new management 1.-The Pennsyl-
yania railroad company will no longer be a
potent factor in republican politics in the states
OF pennsylvania and New Jersey" on the con-
trary, the power and patronage of this great
railway corporation will be used, so it is init
mated, in behalf of Mr.. Tilden both to help him
to the nomination and to help him to election.
If MIR. Tilden is engaged in half the great
schemes to capture the presidency that are
attributed to him, he is about the busiest man
in this country.

A canvass of forty-two prominent Ohio re-
publicans assembled at Columbus on the occa
sion of the meeting of the legislature, and most
OF them members Of one house or the other OF
that body, showed twenty seven of them to be
In favor OF John Sherman for the Presidency.
OF the remaining fifteen were for Grant, for
Washburne, for Edmunds, Blaine and Hayes
each, and two for either Blaine or Sherman.
Those who should know say that this showing
represents about the average republican sent!.
ment OF Ohio, in spite OF editor Cowles' asser.
ton that she will send solid Grant delegation
to the next national convention.

"What saved the north says General Grant.
''was not generalship, so much as the people. y
Never were truer words spoken. In fact, when
one looks around now and sees the class of fel-
lows who were generals during the war, the
thought arises that the ex-President might have
gone farther and said that the north was saved
by the people, in spite OF generalship

The almost universal judgment Of the press is
that the interpretations OF the constitution and
election laws of Maine, as laid down by the sl-
preme court in the answers to Gov. Garcalon'S
questions, are correct and just, and should be
Obeyed.

Emil Welt, the present president Of switzer-
land, entered upon his fourth term on the 1st
inst, having been first elected In 1861 and again
In 1872, 1876 and 1880. He is plain, unpretend-
ing man, OF high character and much practical
good sense.

Referring to the Boston Hp'oIi's suggestion
that Mr.. Wood change the rate of his proposed
new funding law from 81 to 1865 per cent.,o the
ground that 1t would be so very convenient for
the computation Of interest, the Philadelphia
NeacS reminds that paper that Representative
Kelley has patent On the 3.6j idea" II Mr..
Kelley sets up any such claim we are afraid he
cannot make 1t good. The idea" really be-
longs to the late Chief Justice Chase. who,
when Secretary Of the Treasury, adopted that
principle in fixing the rate for the 40 loan
made during the war. That rate is the double
of 3.65. and was adopted on account of the ease
with which the earnings of 500 or 81 900 bond
could be calculated-vz., two cents per day on
the former and twenty cents per day on the
latter sum-and because that was about as low
as government was able to borrow money at
the time. Beside this, the rate OF the District
of Columbia funding bonds, issued by authority
OF Congress some time ago, bear 365 interest.
Our contemporary will see therefore that the
idea is not new with nor possessed solely by Mr..
Kelley.

A New Indl1Strxr

Any one interested in machines for weaving
textile fabrics will enjoy seeing loom which
is running at the factory of A. F. Cox & Son
npon Union street in this city. 1t is for the
purpose of weaving all classes of narrow goods
such as silk ribbons or sashes, suspender web
bling, shoe goring, wicking. betting, hose,
furniture webbing, tapes, &c., of any width
up to twelve inches. The first patent for this
machine was taken out in 1871 by parties in
Biddeford who devoted much time and money
in their efforts to make a practical machine
In 1878 it was put into the hands of parties in
Massachusetts, who have brought it to it's pres
ent state of perfection, and there have been a
large number of them in use in manufactory
Oh elastic webbing for over year, the party
who first tested them now having nearly one
hundred in use. They have shown that they
will produce IS to 100 per cent. more goods
per weaver than the otherwise best looms in
use, and they are very simple in construction,
Their chief peculiarities are in the method of
moving the shuttle positively, and in running
each loom entirely independent of the rest,
instead of in connection with from eighteen to
twenty others, as is usually the case in making
narrow waves. There are many minor details
which go to make up the machine in its COM
pleteness, but it needs to be seen to be appre-
ciated.
There have been several patents taken since
1871 and we understand patents have been OBJ
tanned in England, France and Germany
The intention of the owners of the patents.
part OF whom live in Portland, and part
in BiddefOrd, is to organize company for on
Grating under their patents. We should ad-
wise any one interested in the business welfare
of Portland and who desires to see her manu-
featuring industries promoted, to go and see
the looms in operation, where they are now
making wicking, suspender webbing and silk
ribbons.

MAY DAY IN DEERING PARK
A Pleasant "Reminiscences.

A few days since while looking over the files
OF our city newspapers We became interested
In reading the accounts of May day festival
which was held in what is now Deering Park,
IN 1889, forty-one years ago.
Inc pleasant exercises were carried out by
members of the Female Grammar School No.
2, which was then located in the present school
house on Spring, near State street, and pre-
sided over by Miss Mary K Harrington. There
was the coronation of May Queen, with ap-
propriate addresses made by the attendant
maids OF honor and replied to by the queen, in
which happy compliments were given and re-
turned. A May pole was erected on that clear
space within the thickest portion of the trees
around which the young girls danced and sang
after the English style. Miss Hannah Noble
was the May Queen, and one special reason
why she was selected was because, in addition
to her good scholarship, she bore a strong re-
semblance to Miss Jane Carruthers, sister of
Rev. DIR. Carruthers, who had then recently
resigned the principalship of the school and to
whom the girls were strongly attached. There
were some two or three thousand people pres
ent on foot or in carriages, and SO interesting
was the occasion that on account of various
circumstances repetition was called for and
given at our present old City Hall, then our
only public hall, and this also was still great
er success. The papers state that the boys
were somewhat uuruly in 'sthe oaks" and dis
turbed the exercises, a thing which would not
be likely to occur nowadays for Ito say moth
ing of better police regulations the manli-
ness of our boys have improved, we opine, in
forty years, for as one of the old boys we fear
that there was not that intelligent regard for
personal behavior that now happily charac-
terizes the boys of this day. To the late Ben
jamin G. Fernald, then the worthy teacher of
penmanship in our public schools, were the
participants indebted for originating the agree
able occasion. Of the number who took part
in that festival we may say with Longfellow:
"Some are married, some are dead'
The May Queen herself, with several of her
maids of honor, have ''passed over the river"
while others who survive are scattered widely
apart, some in distant California and else
where, a few here perhaps and all have ex
perienced "the chances and changes of this
mortal life'

Superior Court.


FRIDAY.-At the May term, 1878, John H. God
dard was indicted for felonious assault upon one
Charles Lambert. His counsel filed demurrer to
the indictment and Goddard furnished bail in the
sum of $4,000 for his appearance at court at the
next term after the decision should be received from
the law court. The sure ties were his mother lydia
L. Goddard, his sister Annie W. Thompson. and her
husband Albert Thompson. At or before the Janu-
airy term 1879, the decision of the law court was
received adjudging the Indictment good. and over
ruling the demurrer. Goddard was then sick and
could not be brought into court for sentence At
the May term he did not appear and his bail was de-
faulted and scire facias ordered to ISSUE AT the
September term 1879, demurrer was filed to the
writ OF scire facias, which was overruled and the
counsel Tor respondent excepted. This forenoon the
dered GODDARD in court His counsel, Hon. W. W.
THOMAS, JT, thereupon filed pardon of respondent
py tne Governor, and thereupon Goddard was dis
charged from custody. The suretes were also re-
heved upon payment of costs, which were paid.
Michael Lee paid fine of 500 and costs taxed
at $3401 on a nuisance Indictment.
Dennis Kelley paid $50 and costs taxed at 11.57

Gas and Water for the Public Offices

Advices from New York state that POST
master James has received and accepted an
offer from the Gas Light Company to supply
gas at its own risk. Similar offers were ac-
cepted "Wednesday by the postmasters of New
Bedford, Newport and Portland, where the Of
ices are in government buildings. The Bos-
ton Gas Light Company offered to supply the
building on the same terms, and several mer-
chants agreed to pay the bills in case the gov
eminent failed to do so. Mr.. Kennard did not
feel justified in accepting the offer, and says
that when bis predecessor agreed to such pro-
position under similar circumstances, few
years ago, Secretary Bristow took him sternly
to task for compromising the dignity of the
government in thus accepting as a charity
what Congress was abundanty able to provide
for Ii it was proposed to bridge over such a
difficulty whenever an obstinate or neglectful
Congress failed to make the necessary provis-
ion for carrying on the work of the depart
ments of the government, then there appears
to be no reason for the issuing of such orders
as were sent to Mr.. Kennard. A gentleman
at the building very pertnently remarked that

of the condition of the negro at the present time
compared to what it was when the book was
written A peculiar feature of the play was
the white characters being played by white
actors and actresses, while the colored char
acters We're represented by negroes. The play
was handsomely presented on the stage, and
the acting in the main was good. Mr. Sam
Lucas gave an excellent presentation of Uncle
Tom, showing til at he can render the pathetic
and sentimental as we'll as the humorous The
Phineas Fletcher of Mr.. Edwin Wight was a
fine piece of acting, and he received generous
applause. Eva was beautifully presented by

was vigorously effective as Topsy There was
a small but excellent chorus, and some capital
