he is called thcre-and a dog. Each herder has
his "camp' and corral for himself and sheep at
night The herders mostly foreigners, mostly
Portuguese or Italians; there Germans, and
few Americans. They lead very lonely life sitting
out the hillsides all day In the broilng sum- watch

evening they feed over the hills to the camp which
they are expected to reach not before O'Clock,

believe there is any doubt about the
position of a vast majority of the peo-
pie Of Ohio on that question.

Grand Discoveries.

The discovery Of a great remedy is
frequently matter Of accident. This,
however, is not the case with TAR
AXINE, now widely known and ap-
proved as an almost infallible remedy
for Liver Complaint, and diseases Of
the Kidneys and Bowels. The best
physicians have for many years used
various preparations Of dandelion root
in these diseases, but with only indif-
ferent success. After long series of
experiments, combination, with the
active principle Of the Dandelion as

highten its potency has been effected,

The colored voters are beginning
to understand politics as well, if not
better, than most white voters. One
of the candidates for an office at the
municipal election in Austin, not long
since, relied on the fidelity of an old
family servant to help him out among
the colored voters. The candidate
was beaten. After the election, he
was told that the colored political
friend had voted against him. He did
not believe it, but, meeting him one
day, the ex-candidate said: "I'll give

RITUAL1sM is rendering itself so ride
ulous that it would be worse than use
less to argue with it. 1t refutes itself
etfectually by its extravaganza. 1t is
the entertainment of efeminacy and
superstition. The spirit that magnifes
mere form into a principle, is always
partial, and it is degradation to con-
tend with it. But it is at the same time
too inconsistent with true spirituality
to be laughed at. Whilst a robust in
tellect must despise it, pious heart
must pity its weakness and deplore its
delusive tendency.

In this week s paper will be found three
communications on the subject of fra
ternal relations. Some time ago we ex-
pressed the opinion that the continued
agitation of this subject would do harm
to the Church. We are more than ever
convinced that this opinion was correct
But the agitation has gone on, and now
as there is "a new phase" of the subject
it may be best for those who desire it to
speak out. The articles published are
the last sent to us.
That of Rev. E. M Green will show con-
clusively, we think, that the ground taken
by our Church in the Baltimore Confer
ence, was the same in all essentials as
that taken at Atlanta. We leave it to
the judgment of the reader.
Another correspondent refers to an eff
fort which has been made to get minis,
tiers, and perhaps others, to pledge them
selves in advance of the meetings of Pres
byteriess to undo, if possible, the work OF
the Assembly. One of our contemporaries
speaks of "secret circular" sent to those
who are supposed to be most ready to
sign protest against the action of the
General Assembly. We have not seen
one of these circulars, although we have
made diligent enquiry. We will not
characterize this proceeding harshly, but
really it does not seem to us a right way
to accomplish a right end. We hope
there is some mistake about this matter
Our other correspondent suggests that
the sending of delegates to the Northern
Assembly does not commit the Church to
continue to send them in after years. 1t
certainly would be in good faith for our
Church in the future to conduct its cor
respondence, if Judged best, by letter
rather than by sending delegates, but to
let our delegates go to the next Assem-
bly, of the Northern Church, instructed
to ask for explanations after what has &C.
Cured, would be proceeding which
would place the delegates and our Church
in very unenviable attitude before the
whole Christian world.
AS the matter now stands the position
of our Church in regard to this subject is
better than that of the Church North.
We think that they and the Christian
world recognise this fact But let the
policy of those who have issued these cir
culars succeed, and how will the matter
then appear? We desire, if possible, to
have our whole Church "speak the same
thing" in regard to this subject, but it is
surely impossible to unite the Church
upon any policy which those opposed to
the action of the Assembly have yet been
able to suggest.
We believe that while the passage of
the explanatory resolution was a blunder
on the part of the Northern Assembly,
yet still the great body Of our people
heartily approve the action of our own
Assembly-an action thoroughly consis-
tent with the position taken in the Balti-
more Conference. Some may regret that
action simply because it has failed to Sc
cure entire unanimity, but no course
whatever could have secured such a re-
suit.

No MORE damaging indictment could
be made against the Church of Rome than
that which it has made against itself by
the charge that Canon Campbello, who
left it and joined the Methodists, was
eminent in no sense save for a scanda,

Church had such a Canon, and never
thought of removing him?

The SOUTH Western Presbyterian, OF
August Sd, noticing DR.. Boggs' review
of the late General Assembly says:
AS specimen of what members recalled he
Or Boggs) quotes DR.. Richardson, editor of the
Central Presbyterian, as saying:
They (the Northern Assembly, have hardly
used harsher words than our declaration that
they had taken the crown from Christs head.
and tied it to Cesars wheels
We do not deny that DIR. Richardson used
those words. In the heat of discussion men al
low themselves to speak loosely even of the
language of official documents, although the
strlctest accuracy should be used But we ven
ture to think that In reporting them in per-
manent record, such as the r eUieaO, it would be
only simple courtesy to give them the benefit of
the doubt, and correct their phraseology By
neglecting this, the reviewer leaves a worthy
gentleman IN a very undesirable attitude as a
literary man, and allows the readers of the Re
0'el0 to suppose that the Assembly of 1870 was
guilty of uttering unqualified nonsense"
1t is pity to spoil this pleasant little
criticism, but it so happens that the edi-
tor of the Central Presbyterian said moth
ing, in the General Assembly, akin to
the words quoted.
If the words were used, DR.. Boggs has
credited them to the wrong person, and
the criticism about speaking loosely" or
leaving "a worthy gentleman in very
undesirable attitude as literary man
is all to no'purpose so far, at least, as ne
are concerned. What next?
