that he annoys anybody by the noise

The old proverb Won may lead Il

proved that he has . good deal of

The suit brought against a
Catholic priest by one of his parish
toners at Holyoke, Massachusetts,.
several months ago, attracted some
public attention. 1t was a suit for
damages. The priest. Father Du-
fresne, had publicly warned his con-
gregation not to patrOnize the plain
tiff. Parker, Gveryman, on account
of the latter's persistence in going
TO hear another man preach. against
whom also Father Dufresne had
warned his congregation. Parker
sued tke Father for damages, alleging
that his business had been ruined by
the ecclesiastical warning, and last
October jury gave him a verdict for
$3433. The priests counsel thought
this very severe and made prepara-
tionS to take the case to the superior
court. Pending these preparations
Overtures for compromise were
made by the priest, and these finally
resulted in the payment of 1000 in
full satifaction of the Judgment, the
plaintiff getting only $500, and the
remainder, 800, going to his lawyers
An interesting fact in connection
with the affair is that since the
trouble began Parker has become
totally blind in addition to the loss
of his business. and is now unable
TO do any kind of work.

As HON. JOHN STUDEBAKER, can
didate for Congress upon the Ma
tional ticket in the eleventh Indiana
district, was addressing an audience
in the school house at Camden. Jay
county, on the night of June %. a
mob of Republicans gathered and
made an assault upon the speaker,
breaking in the windows with stones,
pieces of brick and clubs. while nj
the same moment eggs were thrown
at the speaker and his companion
and they were both profusely spat-
tesed with slime and filth of the rot
ten eggs. But as this outrage did
not occur in the South, but in the
State of Indiana, and as it was per-
petrated not by Democrats, but BY
Republicans, it has not been report
ed or commented ON In Republican
papers

The New York Times, the leading
Republican paper of the country
says that on the tariff. Gen. Gartield's
expressions are "generalities," and
'"neither in substance nor in form
worthy of his position or calculated
to strengthen him where he most
needs strength" whilst it declares
the portions of his letter relating to
the reform of the civil service are
~below the level of the platform
adopted at Chicago" The Times
concludes that ION the whole, the
letter of Gen, Garfield is very nm
even, and fails to place him in that
commanding position which he
might have easily assumed

The Utica, (New York; Observer,

"The great mass of the Republican

4 War Record.

If war issues are 10 be discussed
in this canvass, the Democrats of the
North and West will have cause TO
be thankful. IL is quite time that
the standard stalwart humbnggery
on this subject should be exposed.
Take for example the venerable non
sense AZ 10 the voters voting as they
fought, and see what becomes of the
stalwart pretensc that the armies of
the Union were Republican armies.
Among the states thought sure
for: Garfield and Arthur are
Vermont. which of the 5,67S,-
967 volunteers enrolled between
April 15, 1861, and the close of the
war in 1865, sent out 35,262; New
Hampshire, which sent out 36,269 !;
Rhode Island, which sent out 23,699,
Mennesota. which sent out 26,0b2,
and Iowa, which sent out 76,309 SOL
diers. These make up 196,591 vol
untecrs But Missouri, which is adj
mitted To be certain Hancock
state. is credited on the official re-
cords with 1871 volunteers. So
we have one Democratic state out
weighing in loyalty five Republican
states. Upon the whole il will not
be wise fer the Republicans in 1880
TO cOnfine themselves TO live issues.

IT is asked what would have been
the result when Garfeld's name was
prominently brought before the Chi
cago convention had some delegate
read the blistering words of Mr..
Justice Swayne, an Ohio Republican,
Judge of the supreme court He
said:
The agreement with Gen. Garfield,
a member of congress, to pay him
$4,000 as a contingent fee for procur-
ing a contract which was itself made
to depend upon a future appropria-
ton by congress-which appropria-
ton could only come from COM
mittee of which he was chairman
was a sale of official influence, which
no veil can cover, against the plain
est principles of public policy.
The convention would not have
dared nominate him, and yet people
are going to vote for him simply be-
cause he is nominated.

PAINE's gang of settlers in the In
dian Territory are in charge Of the
military us prisoners, and ii remains
to be seen what the government will
do in the premises. 1t has been
openly and repeatedly asserted that
the government will not bring them
to trial because il cannot make Il case
against them. and if they are dis
charged this time as they were be-
fore it is safe to say that the Terri
tory will be overrun with adventlIr-
ers, who will take such action or
want Of action as evidence that they
will not be punished in any event,
and hence will take the risk. Secre-
tary Schlrz is said to have declared
lately that the culprits were spared
in the first instance and merely re-
moved from the forbidden lands,
but second oflensc would be met
with heavy fine or Imprisonment
or both. Now let us see if this vas
cillation on the part of the govern
ment is going to end. Are the laws
to be enforced or are they to be
made Il dead letter by the acts of the
government?

II is learned from the Corpus
Christi Ledger that at Arkansas Pass
there are forty-fiye men now con-
stantly at work under the supervis-
ion of Col. Sedgwick, and the max
ing of mattresses has commenced.
These mattresses will be about sixty
feet in length, fifteen feet wide and
three feet thick, aud ballasted with
rocks sufficient to sink them into the
water the required depth, until, BY
sinking one upon another, the sur
face of the water at high tide Is
reached, when the whole win be
topped of with rocks, giving the
appearance of jagged stones rising
from the sea. Nearly 400 cords OF
bundled brush (about sixteen bnn-
dies 10 the cord) and 400 tons of rock
are already on the spot for mattress
making, and more of these materials
are constantly arriving. Col Mans
field, the engineer, is expected daily.

jointly, working IL together without
trouble of any character between
them until early last spring. Ger
tain actions Of Mrs. Turner and
Hammond became known TO the
husband, and in the course of time
he was fully convinced that all was
not right between them. The two
men wound up their business reIa-
tions and Hammond left, and not
long after the faifhless wife followed
him with two of the children.

THE steamer Dessouk, k,cOmmanded
by Lieutenant Gorringe, L. S. N.
has reached New York with the ia
nous Obelisk. to be erected in Cen
tral Park. The expense OF obtain
ing this ancient monument has been
borne almost altogether by Mr.. VIM.
III. Vanderbilt. 1t is one of the two
needles of Cleopatra that stood for
centuries on the shores of the Le-
want. near the city of Alexandria.
and that for centuries before guard
ed the doors of the Temple OF the
Setting sun at Heliopolis. Its mate,
which had fallen from its pedestal
in Alexandria. was granted TO Eng
land i'll 1919. and only received
there in 1873. through the eff
forts and personal sacrifices of Pro-
fessor Erasmus Wilson. The present
obelisk. 80 say the Greek and Latin
inscription on its base, was built by
Engineer Pontia. at the order of
Barbarus. Project OF Egypt. in the
eighth year OF Augustus Caesars
reign. or twenty-five years before
the beginning of the Christian era.
1t was removed from Heliopolis to
Alexandria during the reign of Ii
berius. but was enormously believed
to have been removed in the time of
Cleopatra. and hence it was called
CleOpatra's Needle. Ii is by far the
most peerless treasure of the kind
that ever came to the New World
from the Old. The remarkable en-
blems found engraved upon the
stones at the base of the monolith
have stirred the Masonic fraternity
all over the world and are likely to
excite the attention of the Masons
of America for many days to come.
