The Idiotic Topical Song.

The impression that all ''topical songs"
which form prominent feature of tho comic
operas SO called, are written in asylums for
idiots is not quite correct, though the quail
ity of most of the songs certainly gives color
to it. The nursery rhyme is bad enough,
perhaps, but in comparison with the average
topical song it is a gem Of purest ray serene.
Every time attend a comic opera want to
go out when the topical song begins. In the
first place the alleged singer has no moro
voice for melody than all old crow, and in
the second place the words he pretends to
sing are either idiotic, or, in a literary sense,
mere rubbish. 1t is rule to mako new
verses for every new.thing that comes up

tsrtan conference, representing the two dis
ttnctivo types Of the great division us to
church governnent-that by bishops, episco-
pal, aud that by elders or presbyters. The
division da'es from tho earliest ages of the
church, AID tho researches Of scholars often
conduct them to local churches of the Second
and Third centuries, In which it is impossible
to decide whether the simple superintendent
or caretaker was more bishop or an elder.
It Is not easy to trace the establishment Of
tho Pan-Angelican council, ns it has been
somo twenty years in taking form; it had its
origin In q sort Of general missionary move
ment, was powerfully stimulated by tho
action Of American bishops, and is now rec
ognized as the great representative gathering
Of the church. But it is not legislative
body, like the late Methodist quadrennial
conference or maker Of standards, like the
once famous convention Of Canterbury; it is
merely an advisory body, and though the
views there expressed carry great weight, as
those of eminent Christian scholars naturally
would, yet there is no power in tho council
to alter old DEGREES, set up doctrines Or pre-
scribe rights.

TWENTY BOLD MARINERS.

Twenty bold mariners won't to the wave,
Twenty sweet breezes blew over the main;
All were SO hearty, so free and so brave
But they never came back again.
Half the wild ocean rose up to the clouds,
Half the broad sky scowled in thunder and rain;
Twenty white crests rose around them like
shrouds
And they stayed in tho dancing main!
This is easy to sing, and often to mourn,
And the breaking of dawn is no newer today;
But those who die young, or are left forlorn,
Think grief is no older than they!

The absence Of Samuel ]. Randall from his

In 1862 he was first elected to represent tho
Third district Of Pennsylvania, Philadel-

twenty-five years, and always with honor

Mr.. Randall has united both faculties in Q

transferred from any one story to another as
easily and promptly as by a wave Of the
hand. A famous engineering firm devised
and completed the entire apparatus and put
it in place and in working order in five
months from the time they first received the
order. The work was expedited by the use
Of the old steam and heating machinery,
over which they raised the pneumatic and
hosting structure. It is to be noted that the
rapid transfer is for letters and the slower
for packages, and it is estimated that with
this machinery all the mails from all sections
Of the world may be distributed and boxed
or reshipped SO rapidly and easily that there
will be no delay or accumulation, even if the
amount should suddenly be quadrupled.

Opposing Certain Routes.

The railroad committee Of the Council was in
session again yesterday afternoon, considering
the ordinance giving the L., n. A. & c. the right
to connect their main line with the Belt road.
and to come into the city by the northwestern
route. The committee Of citizens was present,
with their attorneys, Claypool & Ketcham, and
opposed both ordinances. Tho Monon route
was represented by its attorney, Frank Morri-
son, VINO stated that there was no disposition on
the part OF the road to do anything against
the will of the citizens. All it
wanted, he said; Was an inlet TO the
Union tracks. He thought q satisfactory plan
could be agreed upon, and by consent of all
parties concerned the committee agreed to post
pone all action for the present. There will
therefore be no report to the Council Monday
night The probabilities now are that the road
will be permitted to come down the canal bank
from Broad Ripple. There is some opposition
to that plan, but it is said TO come from persons
who have an interest in other roads leading to
Chicago.
