SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND.-At O con-
ference held in London short time ago to con:
slider plans for celebrating the centenary OF
Sunday schools in June, about 2OO ministers OF
various denominations were present. Sir
Charles Reed, in reviewing the history OF the
schools, said the English census OF 1891
showed that 250, 900 teachers were engaged In
the gratuitOus instruction OF the young, and
that they had q total of ], 1OS,OOO children in
their charge This year tho Sunday school
Union alone was able to report no. fewer than
million children within its organization, wniie
In addition there are to be reckOned the chill
dren in schools belonging to the Wesleyan body
and to the Church of England.
MONTE CASINO IN THE PAsT.-The time
was when the Benedictine monastery at Monte
Casino was the richest in Europe. Its Abbot
was the first baron of the kingdom of Naples,
and the administrator of diocese composed OF
thirty seven parishes. Among Its dependencies
were four bishoprics, two municipalities, twenty
cOuntships, $50 castles, 44O towns, ], 800 tracts
OF land and 1862 churches. AT the close OF
the sixteenth century Its revenues were valued
at 500, 900 ducats. To-day the monks or
Monte Casino have barely enough to live.
Their pensions from the Italian Government
amount 20 the small sum OF 30 francs month
~noner Italian francs, and equivalent to less
than So.
The lady to whom young Pecci, the Pope's
nanbew' was recently married, is 1.-THE daughter
of rich Roman merchant. Being unable to
obtain from his father the means necessary to

the Young man applied to his uncle. All that
the Pope could do for him, was to give him
az 600 francs, and this sum he was obliged to
borrow. Much talk was made in Rome Of the
meagreness Of this provision, and when Leo
heard the current gossip on the subject he re-
piled that he was truly sorry he could do no
more, but matters with HIM were in position
such that he never had enough in the house for
the needs of the day.

1scrEa0u Marriages.

An intelligent gentleman, who Ina:
 recently spent several weeks at Salt
 Lake City, gives us the following
 facts: The Mormons have four kinds
 of marriages, VIZ: for time only, for
 eternity only, for boEh time and
 eternity, and by proxy. If q Mormon
 marrles a Gentle woman, it is for
 time only. At death he goes 10
 heaven, and she goes to purgatory
 or perditi0n. He can call her oat
 and up if be choses, but her union
 with him does not ensure her salva- ton, as it would if she were a be- liever- IT a Mormon wants to save an unmarried woman, but does not want to add her to his harcm, he has her sealed 10 him for eternity only. After the ceremony of sealing, they have no special relation to each other, or reciprocal rights and duties in this life. But in the life to come, the Mormon maiden sct.urcs q place in heaven through her spiritual union with a masculine believer; for the Mormon theory is, that un- married men aud women are imper- feet, and as such not immortal. Mar riage IS necessary 10 complete a personality that will survive 'the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds"
 The usual Mormon marriage is between believers and for both worlds, and the more wives a Nor mon has, the hol1er he is. But this does not apply, vice vera, to Ii women. Tho proxy marriages are based on the provision of the Mosaic Code, that if a man died childless, his brother should take his wife and raise up seed to his deceased brother An old Mormon dies without chil- dren. This fact is supposed, in some way, to offset his celestial felicity So in order that, his bliss may be perfected, Some young Mormon takes his wife, as proxy, in addition to whatever wives he has already, hoping that children may be born who will be counted not as his, but as belonging to his deceased brother Mormon. Wonderful are Mormon ideas of marriage.

 and nothing left but headaches and
 hindred diseases. How one does
 pity the boys, so joviaI Christmas eve and night, but so woe begone
 for week after. The Vulture has seen a gay Christmas, and a happier or merrIer village of people could not possibly be collected together. The merchants of the town acted the part of princes in the liberality win which they gave Christmas gifts all around. The Christmas celebrations concluded with a hop at the Barnes Hotel, the dining roem of which was fitted up in style that would com pare favorably with many a small city within the pale of civilization, as well as showing great taste for the ornamental aud useful, creditable to the genial host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes.
 Two slight accidents occurred here to two Of the employees of the mill bat neither were of serious moment.
 The mill has been in fall blast since my last. A cleanup was made after fifteen days pounding, with what result none but the "lfuldoons'' who represent the Company here know, but it is confidently whispered around that the result of the first cleanup exceeded expectations.
 With the starting up of new mill the dimensions of this one, it was natural to suppose that some part of the machinery would not work to perfection. This was partially so with the self feeders, for, highly rec commended as they were, they were utterly useless. After the cleanup, Superintendent Shipman went to work to remedy the default. He discarded the patent feeders and had others constructed that work to per lection. The simplicity of the of the new feeder shows a genius for originality and mechar- ism on the part of Superintendent Shipman of no small order.

X village merchant from up the country had concluded his purchases the other day, and was ready to go, when he suddenly remembered some thing and said:

 "Yes. Played that out two years ago. Folks don't take to chromos as they did"

 How would it do to give away, say ten half-pound packages of tea during the day?"

 Two members of the firm and the gray-headed old book-keeper went into committee of the whole with the merchant. but he rejected every suggestion. The ''convention" was n despair, when the customer sud denly slapped his leg, smiled all over, and broke out with:

'''' nv "i"'ab ~
Judge John L. Clark & Son of
Mexico, Mo-, are real estate agents,
and withal real live men. By their
enterprise in advertising Audrain
county, they have been successful in
inaugurating a tide of immigration to
their immediate locality, that gives
their county a prominence and a
boom IN the saleahIe value of its lands
that in a short time must tell upon
the Individual prosperity of all their
fellow-citizens. They have succeeded
through an agent in London, in ne
gotiating the sale of ten thousand
acres of Audrain county land to Eng
lish farmers. These are represented
as tirst-class, wcll-to-do farmers, who
want this land for the purpose O
stock raising, and a colony Of them
are going to settle in Audrain county
as Don as ships and other means o.
travel can land them in the locality O
their new home. They have the
money to pay down, and want til.
land in from five 10 six hundred acre
tracts.
Judge Clark knows no such thins
as failure in any business he under
takes, and most fortunate is it for hi.
fellow-citizens that his private bust
ness is such that his individual sue
cess has such marked effect upon tn
general success and prosperity of hi
community. Such a mar al he, no
only makes money for himself, bu

GRANTISM
The Fennsylvania Republican Convention

The Harrisburg Republican Con-
vention, on the 4th inst, selected
delegates to the Chicago Presidential
Nominating Convention and instruct
ed them by a vote of 1873 against 113
to vote as a unit for General Grant,
a result which neither excites enthu-
siasm among his friends nor spreads
dismay through those of Mr.. Blaine,
who say that the convention is not so
much pledged thereby to Grant as to
Cameron, who, after great exertion,
succeeded in obtaining what at best
is a small majority. Such a result
effectually explodes at the very COM
mencement of the struggle, that is
evidently beginning, the idea that
the Republican party is practically
unanimous for Grant. Blaine has
developed mor strength than has
been claimed for him, and it is new
certain that Grant, to obtain a third
term, will have to do something more
than graciously announce his willing
ness to accept it. His Pennsylvani.
triumph has probably ruined hi!
prospects.
