The Nashville American says that Ber
muda grass will not cross a rail or pole laid

The Shoe aud Leather Reporter utters
this slander: “A Tennessee man can so

dogs engaged in fighting that he can call a
Memphis congregation out of church in
three minutes.”
This will do for the hist fish yam of the
season. It comes from Boston: “A fishing
schooner went out, and in less than half an
hour 300 barrels of the fish were on board.
They tilled the schooner to the top of the
mils. The schooner arrived here yesterday,
and the captain received for the day’s catch
of fresh mackerel, 82,500 in number, $2,-
208.75, and the crew got half of that sum.”

propositions of theologians instead of the

M. Paul de Cassaonac, the Ronapnrtist
editor of the Pays, Lus no doubt that the
Republic must fall. “The peaceful revolu
tion,” said he in one of his latest articles,
“which seemed a dream, is now close to a
plausible reality. Whatever may he said,
we have a banner. It is not the white ting
nor the tricolor, hut an immense broom.
Once already it has swept from north to
south. Next it will sweep from eust to
west. That will Ih* the end.”
Colonel Avert complains that one of our
irreverent Atlanta correspondents attributes
an interest in the “Capitol” to Governor
Brown. Perhaps tho correspondent natur
ally supposed that Colonel Avery would
not hesitate to dedicate n daily to his ideal
statesman after having made him the hero
of a volume. And then ho may have l»oen
deceived by appearances. On the third
page of the Capitol, there stands an engrav
ing of a dude, holding forth the lower end , ...
of a female limb, which is being closely |
scrutinized through glasses by a Mormon
elder, who bear* a striking likeness to Gov
ernor Brown. But the young man shull he

Assaulting Dr. Curry.
The administration has made few for
eign appointments of note, that have not
been subjected to fierce assaults from the
Republican press, and in some coses caustic
criticism from those who are supposed to be
Democrats.
The Keiley case is fresh in the public
mind. The Republican and Mugwump
press immediately upon his appointment
declared war against him, and this power
wom re-enforced by Americans living in
European capitals, notably Mr. Win. Henry’
Hurlbut, who is charged with disappoint
ment at not receiving the mission to Rome.
The administration ajjparcntly acquiesced
in the objections of the Italian government,
in naming Mr. Keiley for the Austrian mis
sion. For liis rejection by this court there
would seem to be no sufficient rcngin.
Dr. Curry, of Virginia, is now being en
filaded by the same agencies used upon
others:
The Catholic Visitor, the organ of the Catholic
Church of Virginia, severely attacks J. L. M.
Curry, recently appointed minister to Spain by
President Cleveland, for his anti-Catholic feeling*,
and t>egH the Spanish government to reject him as
did the Italian king reject Mr. Keiley. In
1H76 Mr. Curry’ went to Rome to aid in the establish
ment of a Protestant mission there. On his return
to Richmond he delivered an address before the
Southern Baptist convention May 12, and spoke in
the bitterest language of tbc influence of the Roman
Church. He said Romanism was a canker eating
out the public conscience and emasculatiug the
<piritual life of the people, aud was worse than pa
ganism.
Iu an ecclesiastic court, this position of
the review iH well taken. The language
quoted, if used by Dr. Curry, is calculated
to offend nil Catholics, niul is damaging
proof ngainst his breadth ns a man.
Perhaps Dr. Curry would not now repeat
that language, which is just such as is fre
quently used by Protestant minister* of all
denbminations. But even should he stand
by it in letter and in spirit, it will be con
strued by all men of culture ns more damag
ing to him than to the Roman church.
But Dr. Curry’s appointment is in no
wise u religious one. Church nnd State nro
not joined in this country, and while the
people of Spain are Roman Catholics, the
government does not cluim to be. Dr. Cur
ry’s sentiments are unpleasant to many
Spanish citizens, no doubt, but he has the
personal right to hold and express them,
nnd while the Spanish Court will hardly
object to him on this account, it
docs not lio in the mouths
of Mugw’uuips and Stalwarts, with
or without religion, to assail him on this
point. If Dr. Curry should go to Spain and
serve out his term it is more thau likely
that lie would he willing to modify or with
draw the language attributed to him
Fearing that the assault already com
nient«Ml on may he ineffectual, another has
been trumped up, to fire the Northern
heart. It is embraced in this Washington
tpecial:
There is a ntory floating around In regard to the
Ruv. Mr. Curry, the newly appointed minister to
Spain, that, if true, will not commend him to a Re
publican Senate for conflrmatiou. It is said that
during tbe war be waa an oftlcer in the Confederate
army, and was stationed for a time at Anderson-
vllle, where so many brave Union soldiers died of
Htarvation and inhuman treatiueut. It ta stated
that Mr. Curry, so far from endeavoring to mitigate
the sufferings of the prisoucrw, was responsible for
much of the hardship* and cruelties to which they
were subjected. If this report be true, while
Spain, with It* former horror* of the Inquisition,
may be a much fitter country for his residence than
here, be is certainly not the utan to go oa the ac
credited minister from this country.
This is utterly slinmeleas. Dr. Curry
after serving the best part of the war in
the Confederate Congress, devoted the re
mainder to the army, as a cavalry and staff
officer.
We do l»elieve that he ever saw Ander-
sonville, and if he had been there, his nature
would hnve revolted at any unnecessary
cruelty or hardship t» Federal prisoners.
It is an unfortunate point for the North
ern press to raise. General liutler has lmt
recently fixed the fact, that all the
sufferings of Audersonvrille were directly
chargeable to the violation of the rules of
war by General Grant, in refusing to ex-
i change prisoners. Nothing can 1)6 more
certain that such will be the verdict of ini
tors nnd actresses are as good chnrch-going
people and Christians ns the average, and
he is welcome to those who are not. As to
the Sunday newspaper, he is correct in a
certain sense. By tradition the art of print
ing is connected with Faust and the devil,
and every well regulated newspaper to this
day has an important personage connected
with it who is known as the devil. And in
this sense and this alone can tho Sund y
paper be said to be from the devil.
The work on the paper issued on Sunday
morning is mostly done during Saturday
and Saturday night. It goes from the press,
leaving every operative engaged in the issue
free to attend church on Sunday, even a
revival service, with Brother Munhall in the
box.
Work on the Monday morning paper takes
hut little of the time called Sunday, and that
after the day of rest is over.
There is a dispute as to what clay is Sun
day, and there is a difference between the sun
and corrected time. Perhaps Brother Mun-
liall lias not noticed this, and may ften
bolt a hot biscuit at a very irreligious
period.
The newspapers of every day in the week
contain matter that has been gotten up on
Sunday, in the shape of clippings and ex
tracts, so the difficuliy of drawing the line
at the proper place is embarrassing to say
the least.
It is rather late in the day to arraign the
powerful educator and conservator of mor
als, the newspaper, as an evil because it
keeps up with the desires and demands of
the people.
This is not the way to hang the mourners on
the horns of the altar. It smacks too much
of the days of the New England Puritans,
when barrels of cider were whipped because
they worked on Sunday. Ah in duty bound

A Senatorial committee has arrived at a
conclusion as to big guns: "Tho contest
between ordnnnce and armor has been defi
nitely decided in favor of ordnance. Of
that there can be no question. IVe used to
think that tho old Parrott and Rodman guns
wore tremendously long. They are short,
indeed, com]>ared with the big guna now
made. Tbe length ia now determined by
the diameter of boro. Thirty diameters is
the latest rule. Thus a twelve-inch gun is
thirty feet in length. They make them
forty odd feet long of the larger bores,
Such a gun could not be handled on board
hip under the old muzzle-louding process,
but it is easy enough on the breech-loading
plnn. On the large English ships the gun
carriages are operated by hydraulic power.
One man with his hand to the levers can do
all the work that it used to take a small
army of men to do. Power is used even to
handle the loads and elevate or depress the
gun. Nothing can withstand these heavy
gun*. The only thing is to get oat of their
way. The ahip cannot be made that will
carry armor enough to withstand them.
They pierce thirty-inch plate like a shell."

A plearino incident, that adds to tho fox’s

writes to that journal; “One of tbe stalkers

which he caught when quite a cub,"and
which he keeps chained to a kennel' near
ilia cottage. Tho other day he gave
the creature a dead crow, thinking he might

Reynard,after careful consideration, th’onght
tho bird'* condition rather called for decent
burial, and therefore he dug with his fore-
laws a large enough hole, in front of his
cennel, and when finished he put the bird
into it, laying it on its hook, with its claws
in the air. Tho stalker, who was watching
the unimnl, saw him then scrape the loose
dirt over the bird so as to cover its body
bnt the legs atill stuck tip in the air. These
legs seemed to annoy him a good deal, and
he triod to press them down with his none.
Failing in Inis, and, nfter evidently turning
the rnntter over in his mind; he bit the legs
off, laid them Hot beside the bird aud then
covered everything over with earth."
