WASHINGTON, May S.
Senator Sewell has not yet decided
whether ne will accept the nomination
to major generalship in the volunteer
army but it is understood his determi-
nation in the matter will depend entire
ly upon whether his acceptance will re-
quire the resignation Of mis- seat in the
Senate. He has told some Of his closest
friends that rather than surrender his
seat he will forego ths privilege of 60
ing to the war. This decision is in &C.
cord with the advice of his republican
friends in the Senate to whom General
Sewell's nomination has been matter
of no small concern. They have. from

THE PHYSICAL examinations for mill
tary service now in progress recall
the memory OF the facts that OF the
volunteer companies that left here in
1861, without any such examination,
one, the Old Dominion Rifles, with 10
members, lost one man by disease, and
another, the Mt. Vernon Guards, with
ll2, lost four, and two Of them were in

boys sicken and die in camps; weak
and sickly city boys thrive and fatten

ACCORDING to the jingoes, the Monroe
doctrine is the right thing on this side
of the world, but the wrong thing on
the opposite side. But the new doc
trine that now prevails is the revived
old, natural one, that might makes
right; very good one for strong, but a
very bad one for weak nations.

MONDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1855.

TIE DEMOCRATS of Pennsylvania
have determined to make their com
ing campaign on their party's Chicago
platform. That is right aud consis-
tent. The cardinal principle Of the
democratic party is the recognition OF
the right of the majority to rule, and
SO six and half million of the members
of that party voted for the Chicago
platform, the few who did not, should
be glad OF an opportunity to get back
within the party's lines. The party
demands that the effect of free silver
coinage he tested, and that demand
should be granted, if the party contain
a majority Of the people ofthe country.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine and as uch it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
Chief Cause,
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. SO the wOmO, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctored too much, is not IL
able to weakness Or disease, except in
rare cases. It is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, therefore
any pain, disease or Inconvenience
manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often.
by mistake. attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some

Thank God, in Eagle River, many
several times, on the Lords Day, repair
to their churches. but more, yea all
would, were a Sunday closing ordinance
drawn up by our city fathers and duly
enforced, as it ought to be. 1t means
no self praise, when we here publicly
affirm that, from our infancy to this
day, we not even once failed to hear
or celebrate Mass on a Sunday or Holy
Day of obligation. What we preach we
practice, and what we practice we pro-
claim from the tower of St. Peters
church to the children of men, Gods
creatures, purchased at the price of
Christ's Precious Blood.
There must be a change on behalf of
the Sunday observance in our city; or
beware of the Divine vengeance. The
Creator is the owner of our lives, pro-
perty, and fall that surrounds us. He
holds the elements in His mighty hand;
and at any time, may use them as in
struments of chastisement, to punish
our iniquities. We are but SUBJ
jects and servants; we must obey the
laws of our omnipotent Maker and
Master. or perish. Our temporal and
eternal welfare is at stake, and depends
on our submission to His Will
Such achange can and will be effected
by a stringently enforced local Ordi-
nance and by our merchants and saloon
keepers with ready compliance to clos
ing every door, to allow others to per-
form their religious duties as they will
do themselves, sat least from to r."
Public sinners we have been, long
enough and we are publicly bound to
put a stop to sin, regarding this great
Sabbath qualification, no longer pro-
fanation.
We write, supplicate, advocate till
our point is carried, which it will in a
christian city; a regulating decisive,
coercive Ordinance. Let us, one and
all, Catholics and non-catholics take
this movement to heart; and, on Sum
days sat least from 9tol II, sell nothing,
buy nothing and frequent our churches
Not one will lose cent, and all will
clap their hands with joy and exclaim:
"Why did we not close long ago?
When the Petition (why a petition
with christian town board?) will cir
culate to sign or not to sign, will be
like voting for God or Lucifer, for
heaven or hell.
Who among us will stepneath Satan's
cursed banner and difantly chose to
''go ahead" hell-wards? None but a
fool.
THIRD ARGUMENT: "Sucb an or
dinance would not strengthen the
Christian spirit among u.s." True
enough the Ordinance itself would not.
but it would pave the way for our peo-
pie not to the saloons and stores, but to
the churches where they would find and
hear, and see. and feel the Christian
spirit.

HISTORY OF EAGLE RIVER
A Short Account Of Some Of the Most
Important Events in Its Life, AID
n Brief Mention of Some of Its Lead
ing Business Men, Both Past
and Present. by
Rev. Father Goepfert.

Some saloon keepers and merchants
naturally find fault with our descrip-
tion of their greedy position and ig-
nominious trade, during the hours of
Divine service, in fragrant opposition
to the Divine and human laws, whilst
the greater number are ready to come
to an understanding, and to close sat
least" during few hours on the
Lord s Day, so as to find time to feed
both soul and body, and to take much
needed rest.
Eagle River is, assuredly, too ancient,
civilized, literate, and christian, to ais.
low the Sabbath's proclamation any lon
ger. Our saloons are open all the week,
day and night, and their sign is, "Here
we never rest" Surely a few hours
could be spared from Gods service, on
His own day, by a people that processes
to be christians. Magistrates who dare
not enforce rule Of such Importance are
towards, unworthy of their position.
Our present magistrates, who have
done exceptional good work for the
improvement of our city, are disposed,
we are we'll aware, to issue such an or
dinance, and by issuing such before the
expiration of their term in Office, they
would crown to their own honor and
the benefit of the community, the
career of, perhaps, the best, most de-
voted, most honest, most christian adj
ministration our city ever possessed.
Our mission is to fiatter no man, but
to fearlessly expose the truth, regard
ing the great cause of the Lords Day,
for our peoples benefit.
Should the present town board not
finish their work by such an ordinance
we feel confident that the next one will
open their sessions by an Act worthy
of Christian community, on the de-
cline of our enlightened nineteenth
centuary.
We have lived "a years in France and
% in Ireland, previous to our landing
christianity. and strict observance of
the Lords Day, as. kept by every in
conscience and duty bound disciple of
Christ, soldier or knight of His Cross.
We. have seen the people of Alsace, our
native province, of Paris, Normandy,
Brittany, etc. we have admired the
faithful of Ireland, our favorite home:
we have spent Sundays in Germany and
Switzerland and in those centres of
practical Catholicity we have been edi-
fed and rayished on the Lords Day.
Visit on Sunday the cities of Cork.
Dublin. Limerick, or even orange
Belfast, in Ireland; visit Freiburg,
Munich, Basic, in Germany and Switz-
erland, or Strasbourg, Mulhouse and
Colmar in Alsace with their hundreds
of thousands inhabitants, Sat least dur
ing the morning hours of Divine service,
not store is opened, every shutter is
closed, every street and lane deserted:
religious, superhuman silence per-
meates the christian atmosphere, earth
seems to be in communications with hea-
ven. The faithful are at their deve-
tions, kneeling in prayer before the
affairs of churches crowded: it is the
Lords Day.
