Gods, all orthodox Trinitarians would have been justly indignant. It is true that the doctrine of the Trinity has sometimes lapsed into doctrine of tritheism, and it is true that the doctrine of indulgences has some- times been represented as the actual pardon of guilt; but the Roman Catholic church has az constantly antsgonized the latter perver- sion as the orthodox church the former one, and to put into the school books, to be read by young children of Roman Catholic faith, such a statement, without the necessary qual- ifcations, was to give just offense to those whose religious faith was impliedly if not ex- pressly misrepresented. We do not propose to enter into the battle of the school books and their publishers. We share the resolute purpose to maintain at every hazard our public school system intact, and to keep it free from every form of ecclesiastical con- trol, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant. But for these very reasons we demand that we Protesrants who are in the majority shall scrupulously exclude from text book and from teaching every statement which may even seem to do injustice to the religious opinions of the Roman Catholic minority, or which shall tend to infame their religious prejudices and passions.

THE SAMOAN DIFFICULTY.

THE SAMOAN DIFFICULTY.
 Some new light has been shed on the Samoan difficulty and more is expected soon. according to the Presidents message to con- gress yesterday. MT. Bayard's latest view of the situation is interesting. According to this, the serious phase of the troubles lies in the recent battle between the two factions, in which some fifty German sailors, including several officers, about one-fourth of the whole German force in Samoan waters, were killed and wounded. The German govern- ment can scarcely fail to demand and enforce satisfaction from the chief of the opposing forces, Mataafa. The whole question for Americans to consider, according to MT. Bayard is whether we shall continue to main- tain neutrality as between Matsafa and the Germans, or assume the role of belligerant toward Germany in behalf of one of the two claimants to the throne. So far, MT. Bayard says, Germany has given the United States absolutely no cause for war. It is not true that American property has been wantonly destroyed by the Germans, or the American flag fired upon. The flag said to have been fired upon by the Germans was not the flag ab Iu0 AIu6ElCau COaSUlabS, Aappouco IO be in little village which was being shelled by the Germans. The village took fire and the flag was partially burned. It was not hoisted in assertion of any American rights, and was not fired upon or insulted. Besides, the German government has expressly dis claimed any intention of giving this country cause of offense. Another story. which has excited 8 good many patriots,i is that United States marshal in Samoa was beaten by the Germans. Investigation, it is stated, shows that the incident was the outgrowth of per sonal quarrel originating in the too free use of liquor.
 It is not probable that Germany wants any trouble with this country, and this country doesn't want any trouble with Germany if il can be avoided. It probably can be and will

COURAGE IN RATTLE.
Remarkable Instances in the Figh Before Petersburg.

Remarkable Instances In the Fight
 Before Petersburg.
 [Gen. Horatio C. King.l
 The fight before Petersburg brought out several remarkable displays of personal cour- age. Two armies confronted each other with sullen and determined bravery. On Burn- sides front the Confederate lines were less than 150 yards distant. A stone might be thrown from the Union parapet into the rebel earthwork. For nearly month 400 patriotic moles had been burrowing in the ground, carry out the earth in cracker boxes, concsaling it from the enemy's view with underbrush and steadily undermining the fort of the unsuspecting foe. Night and day the work goes on, and all hearts are centred on the project which, if successful will insure the capture of Petersburg, and, in all proba- bility, the fall of Richmond. The evening of July 29 is at hand, and under the doomed fort g, ,000 pounds of powder lie with deadly destruction embodied in it's inert mass. The fuse is laid, and at early morn of the 30th of July. the match is to be applied. But the daylight is past, and the troops rest impa- tient and inquiring upon their arms. The suspense is painful Minutes seem hours, and yet no unusual sound disturbs the peace of that July morning. At last two heroic
 
 stoned officer of the Forty eighth Pennsy1- vania, volunteer to enter the mine and learn the cause of the delay or failure. It seemed almost certain death for them to enter the tunnel The explosion is liable to occur at any moment and blow them to atoms, but they went in.
 The fuse was found defective and was speedily replaced, and ere the sun had risen high over the old hills of Virginia the earth shock with the tremor of an earthquake, and through the earth thrown high in the air the exploding powder blazed like lightning, cast ing lurid glare upon the confused mass of dismantled guns, shattered caissions, smok- ing camp equipage and mangled human bod ies. Simultaneously the order to charge rang out, and the Third Division of the enemy, stunned, almost paralyzed with fear and panic-stricken, scattered in all direc- tions. The concentrated fire from a half hundred guns made a pandemonium inde- scribable. Into the vast crater, into which the explosion had converted the fort, the troops were huddled. There was a strange and inexplicable delay which gives the enemy time to rally their flying forces. The hostile angry guns enfiladed the crater with fatal effect. The attempt to advance is met with a courage born of despair. A general ad- vance of the corps was ordered. The Fifty l first has reached the breastworks. In the | forefront behold an intrepid spirit urging his men forward. Waving his sword and call. | ing to his brave boys to follow he reaches the enemy's intrenohments and gallantly falls 1n I a hand-to-hand encounter with his face to | the foe, a martyr to liberty and an honor to | mankind. Such was the fate of the heroic l Capt. Samuel E. Sims, of the Fifty first New | York Volunteers.

Of for defensive intrenchments. This would plainly be matter of special interest for the soldiers of northern countries. The substance of the report has been reproduced in severa German papers. One of the experime ents was the following:-A breastwork was con- structed, 20 metres long, IA high, and metres thick at the ground, sloping up to Is or even metres thick at top. It was made by the soldiers rolling large snow-balls, put. ting them in row, and then filling the in- terstices with snow packed tight by means of snow-shovels, swords, bayonets, etc. Shots were fired from Garmann guns, at distance of about 50 metres. Seven shots aimed at the upper portion, about three decimetres below the top, went clean through the thick ness of the breaetwork, the points of peue- tration varying from 1.90 to 1.56. Three aimed at about o. 6 or or below the top re- mained in the snow, and were afterwards dug out. It appeared that one of them penetra- ted to depth of 1.25, another of 1.20. and @ third to depth of 1.03 only. The snow was quite free from fragments of ice; but the proiectiles were all found to be fattened and broadened towards the front. At the time of the experiment, the thermometer stood at plus deg. centig. Water was poured over the breastwork, and next day it was found covered with coating of ice Ten shots were fired, but at a distance of one hundred
 metres, and with @ result contrasting re- markedly with the lesson of the day before.
 The snow-wall was penetrable easily, and the shape of the projectiles was not altered.
 Seven of them went through where the in- trenchment was about 1.59 to 1.63 metres
 thick, and they could not be found after
 wsrds. Of the other three proiectiles, two
 were found at distance of eight metres be-
 hind the breastwork, and one immediately
 behind 1t. Evidently the mass became less compact, or more porous, after the freezing, and was more easily penetrable. Colonel Hertzberg draws the conclusion, from the experiments, that if the face of the breast
 work is not sloping. but the wall is made 10 have minimum thickness of 2.50 metres, rampant of snow may defy any kind of proiecties fired from any distance

of her death, and that must have occasioned the mistake. His own letters in some way had failed to reach their destination, and it was generally thought that he had been killed. and his wife had mourned him for dead. She had become reduced in circum- stances, and for ten years had been an .in- mate of the almshouse. When they arrived at their destination Hall and his friend were ushered in, and the matron, being acquainted with the nature of their visit, called Annie into their presence.
 "Annie, do you know this man?" asked Gaudy.
 She shook her head. Hall, who recog- nized her instantly in spite of her added years, called to her with eutstretched arms, asking if she did not know his face. She started at the sound Of his voice, but did not seem to place him.
 Don't you know Frank, your husband" cried Hall.
 The woman stood moment in surprise and then rushed into the arms of her hus- band. During the affecting scene that fol- lowed Hall told her that better times were coming, and an hour later took his leave to make necessary arrangements for her re- lease, returning to this city. To-day he goes to claim his wife, and the happy, reunited couple will shortly start for Iowa, there to renew the 6reside 90 rudely broken by war. The story is @ most unusual one, and is strictly true as told above. The son lives at Lisbon, Wis, is in his twenty-eighth year and was recently married.

pertinent Station.
Careful estimates show that the out
put of the -four mills of Minnesota is
equal to or greater than the entire
wheat product of the state, much of the
wheat ground coming from Dakota and
elsewhere, resulting in an immense pro-
ductiOn of the by-prOducts of wheat.
The mills of Minneapolis alone pro-
duced last year 7,056,6S0 barrels of flour.
requiring something over 100000
bushels of wheat for that purpose, or
about three-fourths as much wheat as
is grown in the state. The large guam
titles of - bran, shorts, screenings,
''cockle." etc.. thrown upon the mar
ketS as by-prOductS, for feed, led US to
investigate the manner of manufacture
ing and selling the materials, and to
make chemical analyses of them.
The wheat grown annually in Mime
sofa Yields about 100000 tons of bran
and $4,000 tons of shorts, and from the
wheat there is taken, as estimated from
an average year, about $4,000 tons of
screenings composed of light grains of
wheat, wild buckwheat. fox tail, and
numerous other weed seeds, also some
broken straw, chaff and other dirt. The
bran as now produced by roller mills is
merely the outside covering of wheat,
