Our correspondent at Mile Laos,
writes us of an excursion to an island
in the lake, the party comprising C.
f. Merrill and wife, L. Libby and wife
and Charles Foster and wife; the la.
dies are supposed to be the first white
women ever upon the island; the party
was in charge Of W. A. Morse, the
veteran scaler. The Indians are just
getting back to the lake, from their trip
down river among the logging camps.

There is one thing about Mr.. Blaine S
strength, or the strength which is
claimed for him, at Chicago. 1t is not
in the least sectional, unless the Pa.
.citic coast be excepted. He will have
the solid vote of that section. il con,
sideration Of his position upon the
Chinese question. The rest of his a.
legged support is scattered all over the
country and not massed at a single
point or in single section. He
claims votes from New England and
the Eastern Stares, the South and the
West. The only danger appears to be
that his delegates will be too scatter
ed to make up majority OF the Chi
cago convention.--Pioneer Press.

vout and consistent body. They agree TO
the letter in their religion. This cannot
be said Of the professionals. No two sects
agree, or there would be but one church:
and if the difference in their creeds is SUI.
1lclent to justify the tenacity with which
they cling to their respective doctrines,
causing them TO erect separate church
edifices, compile separate songs, &c, what
guarantee have you that these differences
would not extend to the school-room az
well, causing alienation and warm blood.
where peace and harmony should prevail?
Is it not better for the cause of religion
itself that it be left to the home and the
church circles as something too sacred to
wrangle over, if our eternal felicity de-
ponds upon our embracing it and practic.
ing it's teachings? I said that I would OBJ
ject to no system on which all the people
could unite; but no system can be devised
to which the people can agree; hence it is
folly, suicidal, to clamor for anything that
will produce inharmony and irritation in
our schools. am sure that those who
would like to see religious instruction in
our schools would spurn the idea of Cath
olicism; and yet, I must say, after years
of quite intimate acquaintance with the
Catholic people, have yet to sec the fist
thing to improve npon. They are very
Jealous, devoted people, and believe what
they preach. If any system of religious
instruction should obtain in the schools,
why should theirs be spurned? BY what
authority do you maintain that they are
wrong and the Protestant side right.
You can't convince them that you are
right, so they will not accept your views,
neither can you convince them that they
are wrong; hence they will remain Catho-
lies. They are as conscientious as you,
and have coordinate rights in the schools;
then, why should not the Catholic religion
stand an equal chance and be taught as
well? You say, perhaps, that it is not the
religion of the country. I say it is, as
much as any other. We have no national
religion. Church. and State were never
welded, and, thank God, never will be.

The following is an extract. from
a sensible article by E. w. B. Harvey,
in the Elk River Neqcs:
X \ Now, I will find no fault with
the teaching Of religion, any system you
please, providing the peoplecan unite, can
agree. Where all are catholics, there can
be no sort of objection to the regular re-
ligious instruction in catholicism, for the
reason that catholicism, like the tempera-

same wherever found; hence there can be
no friction. The catholics are a very de.

The Poor Preachers.

During the past few weeks very
unladylike epidemic has broken out
among the servant girls. Hardly a
day passes but one of them, heretofore
carrying spotless reputation is caught
kissing preacher, 1t seems strange
that servant girl can not know her
place, and attend properly to her
household duties entrusted &c, her care,
without eylecting her work to take
liberties with unprotected preachers
straying about the house alone. "A
servant who would deliberately take
advantage of an innocent pastor should
be utterly tabooed by the employment
agencies and compelled to find her
level. A minister Of the Gospel, ear
nestly endeavoring to follow out the
ramifications Of the plan Of salvation,
is entitled to be protected in his own
house, which IS rightlully his castle.
The hired help seem to be getting So
emboldened by success that no divine
is safe if his wife happens to walk out
FOR few moments. 1t is high time
some law were passed in all the states
clearly defining the duties of servants
and fixing penalties for oyerstepping
the bounds of modesty. A preacher
has scarcely any show when once in the
clutches of bold, bad servant girl
who cares little for her own character
and ignores the fact that she is sapping
the foundations of religion and attack
ing the bulwarks which have surround
ed the Christian faith for ages. The
servant girl should be suppressed, even
if it takes an amendment to the con-
stitution to bring about the necessary
reform. In crisis like this the church
needs the strong arm of great gov
eminent to protect it.-Carsoas City

himself was a poor man. The lord

if Peter were alive to-day, living in a
