Mr. Barker is particularly sweet on

it as though lie was the chosen keeper

No Congressional enactment ever
foil so still-born upon the country as
the Civil Bights bill. In point of
fact it may be said to be inoperative.
Puiing the last and the preceding ses
eioii3 of Congress a vast deal of time
was devoted to its discus-ion. and
speeches in its favor were scattered
broadcast ovcrtheland. Demagogues
like Benjamin F. Butler were vocifer
ous in their demands for its passage in
order that certain unenjoved rights of
the negro, as they styled them, might
be assured and their exercife protected
by the infliction of severe penalties for
iheir violation. The ladical leaders
r-ho have 1k?cii shaping the legislation
of Congrts? for almost ten 3-ears in
the interest of the negro, cared more
about annoying and aggravating the
ivhite people of the Southern States by
the passage of highly penal laws, tban
they cid about enforcing imaginary
lights of the colored man. This was
made psrfcctly manifest by Butler
himself publishing & letter to "a man
and brother' in Cincinnati not more
than three weeks after the passage of
the act, in which he admitted that what
were regarded as the most important
rights secured b- its provisions were
already guaranteed and made safe
tinder the common law. If this was
true there was no necessity for its pas
sage. The law has been before several !
of the United States Courts in the
Southern States for construction, and
ia tvery instance has been pronounced
unconstutional and void, especially in
ils criminal provisions. This unanim
ity of judicial opinion does not pro
ceed from rebel judges, but from men
vtho are Republicans, and who have
besu appointed to seats on the lench
by Grant himself. No sensible negro
desired the law, and those who would
like to put money in their pockets by
instituting suits for its violation find
the nselves without a remedy. Itaf

and re-elected in 1852 from the Ash

Catholic BntrT:s. A New Yok cor
respondent of the Buffalo Commtrieal-Ail-teriier
writes : The number of Protestant
young ladies of elevated social position w ho
have voluntarily embraced the Roman
Catholic religion of late in marrying has
created considerable coin men t and given
life to a sort of genteel f-lanir, expressed
in two words "Catholic brides." There
hare been many stories told of determined
daughters and heart broken mothers and
fathers, and the 6teries were not without
their effect. Since Easter four New York
ladies have become Catholics in order to
become wives; and Colonel Smith, who
married a daughter of tho late Horace
Oreeley, became a member of the Chuich
of Rome, at the solicitation of his financrc.
Then a niece of W. B. Astor mariied a
Catholic; so did Miss Appleton, daughter
of the publisher ; Miss Niies, who married
Consul General Badeau last week ; and
Miss Morgan, who married a Spnniard.

A Contrast. Mr. Charles Parrisb, the
president of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
coal and iron company, is perhaps as much
interested in the present strike as any man
in the State, and his men are all out, but
he has adopted a wio plan of sending pro
visions to his men to enable them to hold
out against himself and the other coal oper
ators, until the great question is decided as
to who shall win. This humane nolicv
j will prove a better safeguard to his coal
! property than thousands of dollars spent
j i emploj ii g watchmen and police guards,
mm win promote ins interests in every
other way among the woikingmeu, who
will contrast his actions with those of Mr.
Gowcn, who has doubled his force of watch
men at the breakers, and employs hundreds
of men in this county to do guard duty.
Mr. Banish also knows that in proportion
as he grows strong his opponents will be
come weakened in this contest, and leaving
the question of humanity entirely out, his
plan must be pronounced truly wise.

day. I. 15. J,an.leit keeps a country torc
twelve miles north of Clinton. It stands
alone on a prairie, has a croquet ground in
the rear of the building, and is the resort
of young people- of the neighborhood.
Thursday morning about 11 o'clock two
strangers rode up, entered the store and
were "shortly followed by two other stran
gers. A soon as the latter entered the
store the first two drew revolvers, and com
manded Lambert to stand. The other two
men went to the croquet ground where
eight gentlemen and ladies were plaj-ing,
ordered them into the store, where they
were guarded by three of the strangers
while the fourth robbed the store of $200
cash, a line watch, a shot-gun, two revol
vers and a quantity of goods. They then
left in the directiou of Clinton. All were
well dressed, genteel looking men, well
aimed and mounted on splendid horses.
The robbery was done so quietly and
quickly that a blacksmith working one
hundred yards distant knew nothing of
the matter until the afi'air was over. A
gentleman bving near Clinton Rays he saw
and conversed with two of the Younger
brothers last Tuesday, and from this fact
the robbeiy is attributed to the Younger
and James brothers. No effort has yet
been made to auest the robbers, and the
dispatch says its not likely theie will be.
The Ii.l-Fated "Schiller There
were many sad scenes at the office of the
agent of the ill fated Schiller, in New
York, Saturday, when persons having
fiiendsoii board applied for information.
Mr. Chas. Schuler, a barber, had sent his
wife and only child abroad, lie grasped
the meagre list of saved, ran his eye dowu
it, and irsisted in asking for his daughter.
"But. Bertha, my Bertha, is she too lost ?
My God, my own, own little Bertha gone!"
and he pressed his forehead as if to keep
his head from bursting. An elderly gen
tleman came in in great excitement, at an
early 6tage of the affair, read tho slip with
the riiht information that but four had
been saved, staggered for a moment and
fell, sobbing loudly and deeply on a settee
near by. He was a brother-in-law of Mr.
Kornblum, who, with his wife and three
children, had been passengers on the
steamer. In the afternoon two German
working-men called in, afcking eagerly for
the very latest news. It was shown them,
simply that 200 had been lost and about 40
saved, and no names as yet. The chances
were theu five to one against them. Tho
two men were friends and neighbors.
Each had given his wife the pleasure of a
tii.i to tho fatherland with the little ones,
while the head of the family stayed at
home attending tobusiness demands. The
wife of one, Mrs. Fannie Evans, was ac

other lady. Mrs. Susan Duckfield, had
with her four children. Tho two fathers
