THE seven-hilled city has ceasd
to be mistress of the world, and the
successor of st. Peter no longer
holds the consciences of crowned
heads in his keeping. The days are
past when a pontiff could order an
emperor of Germany TO appear be-
fore him and render abject submits
sion in the garb of a penitent.
Interdicts have ceased to disturb the
eq lanimity o" the great powers.
Kings and Kaisers no longer are in
attendance as equerries to bis holi-
ness. Religious Orders are sum-
marily dispatched on a pilgrimage
by secretaries of State, and prime
ministers decide on the amount and
quality of religion required for the
te nporal salvation of kingdom.
Prince smarck and Baron Pulli-
kamnan are directing Rome to grant
pardon to the banished bishops as
means of securing peace with the
Papal curia. The refusal of the
priests at Constantinople to chant
Tie Deum in honor of a national
Jubilee has rot diminished public
reio cling in France, and regenerated
Italy has not succumbed to the
anathemas of the Vatican. Nations
ale working OF their own happiness
.thout "the benefit of clergy" and
ha -e convinced ecclesiastics of all
denominations that their kingdom is
not of this world. Religious TO ms
and rituals are in a transition state.
Church property is becoming secu-
larized and its servants are no longer
privileged orders. So runs the re-
formation of the nineteenth century.

In 1873 an attachment for common pillow was
invented by practical farmer, that can i'm ten
minutes be connected with any ordinary pillow,
which changes it at once into complete sulky
pillow. 1t consists of one large wheel which runs
upon the land side, a smaller one under the BEAM
and another that runs in the furrow behind the
pillow. These wheels carry the weight of the pillow,
entirely removing the friction upon the bottom
and land side, one of which, together with the up
right beam, regulates the width and depth of the
furrow. 1t provided with an easy seat, enabling
the driver TO have ut all times both his pow and

The Jefferson Excursion.

Everything was favorable to the
Jefferson Democratic Club excursion
to Coney Island excepting the wea-
ther, and that was decidedly against
it. The rain that commenced on
Tuesday prevailed all of yesterday,
and continued last night to such a
degree that at bed time there was a
most dismal prospect of rain on the
morrow. This, of course settled the
minds of those whose going was con-
tingent upon the state of the wealth
er, while the prospect at five O'Clock
this morning was not any more tav-
orable with the exception of some
clearing indications in the west, and
a good breeze from that direction
However, despite the unfavorable
weather, nearly five hundred people
took the chances and embarked on
the trip. The train left at Clio
O'Clock, with ten cars occupied, and
chances of filling one, or perhaps
two, more at Chester.
A special train came over from
New Castle with twenty-five on
board. Had the weather been good
sixty or seventy would have been
New Castles quota.
Still, the excursionists are likely
to have the best kind of weather, for
if it remains cloudy all day it will
be much better than if the sun shone
forth clear and hot. All who went
seemed to anticipate a day of rare
pleasure, and started off in the best
of spirits.
