some one remarked in his presence that
the lines that formerly divided people in
regard to religion were fading out, he
replied: Eyes; and | notice that the
nice distinctions between right and
wrong are going with them"

which are producing fearful havoc The

Judge Hoadly the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, is so nervous
aud unwell that he has withdrawn from
the canvass and gone to Philadelphia
for medical treatment. And at the same
time with this piece of news comes the
Columbus (Ohio) Capital, Democrat

have no hesitation in saying that the
absolute defeat of the head of the State

Several months ago 300 copies of
little reading book, including also les
sons in arithmetic, were sent from
London to Barcelona to use in Protes-
tant schools. Tho exercises in reading
were the Gospels, without note or
comment. At the custom house in Bar
celona an exorbitant duty was de-
handed Of the owner, who refused to
pay it. 1t was then proposed to sell the
books, but the authorities decided that
religious question was involved, and
that they could not be sold without Vi
olating the supreme law OF the land.
The English Consul interposed with an
offer to pay all costs and ship the books
back to London, bnt he was told that his
proposition came too late and that the
books must be burned And publicly
burned they were, in Barcelona, July
25th. A local paper, the " Puhlicidad,
| makes this comment on the affair: We
are such barbarians here Tint we burn
the Holy Gospels merely because they
might be read by Professionals. As Span
iards we blush with shame, rs Liberals
We are enraged, rs freemen of this nine
teenth century we turn for consolation
to an approaching future.
