' "j T*“-" Origin of tlie English Church. Before one of his usual large audien¬ ces lectured at Chickering Hall, Dr. John Lord of hi3 discourse yesterday morning, the tenor being “Thomas Crom¬ well and Henry VIIL Dr. Lord began with the quotation from Green : “In the whole line of English statesmen there is no one of whum we would willingly know as much, and none of whom we know so little, as Thomas Cromwell.” But with him, said the lecturer, is identified the history of a great revolution, that of the transfer of all the powers of the realm, ecclesiasti¬ cal and civil, into the hands of the King And with him is also associated the breaking up of Papal power in Eng land, and the sequestralion and desola¬ tion ol monastic institutions. He came into power on Woolsey’s disgrace, and made his fortune by advising the King to declare himself head of the English Church. Henry was desirous ol getting rid ol liis Queen, with whom he had lived 24 years, and found many diffi¬ culties. The Pope w T ould not grant the divorce, and Charles V., nephew ol Cathrine, and the most powerful Sov¬ ed ereign of Europe, The was equally oppos¬ to it. proposal of Cromwell was an inspiration, and was adopted by the King, which, of course, led to the hostility of the Pope. But Henry was willing to run any risks to marry Anne Boleyn. On the divorce of Cathrine, Ciorrwell was invested with all the powers which Woolsey had wielded. He was made Earl ol Essex, Prime Minister, Vicar-General, and a Knight of the Garter. He presided in convocation. He had everything in his own hands, and ruled to build up the royal authority. Richelieu exalted the throne and bum¬ bled him who sat upon it. Cromwell exalted the throne also, but became the servant rather than the master of the King. Pie was a patriotic statesman, and desired ecclesiastical reform, since the views cf the clergy were the great blot on the times. Moreover, he would make the clergy dependent on the Kin rather than on the Pope, because he wished to weaken or destroy a foreign rule; and again, he sympathized with the reformer of Germany, and hated and despised the monks. The divorce of Catherine, in part owing to the advice of Cranmer, still cut, Henry off from the Catholic church, although he had no Protestant sympa¬ thies. How far Cranmer and Crom¬ well penetrated the ultimate result ol this step, and therefore favored it, we cannot tell. The great task of Crom well, as Prime Minister, was the sup¬ pression of the monasteries. To this work he was urged by enlightened rea¬ son arid patriotic zeal. They had dune their work. They had been nurseries of plenty, abodes of industry, schools of learning; but tney had degeneiated, and were rather dens of idleness and vice. Their wealth was squandered and their houses had become dilapida¬ ted. They shielded offenders against the laws. They were a national scan¬ dal. Doubtless there were good and learned men among the monks, but the general testimony is that they were inventors of frauds, peddlers of indul¬ Eangt gences, imposters and vagabonds, ■Oil at taverns, seducers of tious women, gluttons—in worldly, avaricious, supersti¬ fact, a body t men who had depot ted tar from the on mu rules and vows. Sc notoriously con upt Were tluv. that efforts hail been re f eatedly made to relorrn tin t'Vt'li 'opes. Innocent VIII., at the insti tion of the Archbishop at Canterbury, in 148t> issued a comm ion lor g* m-ral investigation. In 1511, bishop Wareham instituted another, Slid, 12 Years ntor. Woolsey took the uiatu r. I ut ail without success. hk i .l Win,, be re f otmed. las , 1 HI til' ation ot Cu-m\\eli, . mm ........... Ov a commission l**y«*, iound tli£ worst had not been told. In the book which contained the reports of the Commissioners, it was found that two-thirds of the monks of England were living in concubinage, and that their lands were wasted and mortgaged. So Parliament, after due deliberation, sequestered all abbeys and eonvents which had an annual income of less than £200, and ga r e their lands to the King—some 200 onvents. The monks were dispersed among the great convents, but a pension was granted to the monks acco.’ding to their necessi¬ ties a^d condition. The fall of Cromwell was caused by bis unwise promotion of the marriage of- the King with Anne of Cleves—a woman without beauty or grace or ac¬ complishments, a woman whom the King looked upon with aversion, yet was compelled to marry. He never forgave him Cromwell for palming upon this uninteresting woman. He was deceved in a vital point. His do aestic happiness was again wrecked. But Cromwell promoted this marriage with good intentions, and to advance Protestant interests. He suffered the penalty of the blunder at the hands of the executioner. Nothing could save him, not innocence, not a trial—nothing. He had cheated an absolute, vindictive and cruel King, who will be forever repulsive in spite of all the whitewash¬ ing of a hundred Froudes; for this ex¬ ecution was not the only crime of Henry. His treatment of Woolsey and More, who were not traitors, was equally cruel, and even the execution of his wives was unnecessary, even if they were unfaithful to the marriage vow. Cromwell was himself a despotic and hard man, who crushed all who stood in bis way.— N. Y. Times. —The How train Sherman that cartied was Remembered, Gen. Sherman j i over the S. R. & D. R.

The sheets and the counterpane do a great deal of mischief, The cotton keeps the sour heat and perspira .ion from the body in the bed, and so you breathe poisoned and that air all poisoned night, summer and winter, air makes your rheumatism ten times worse. If you were in blankets they would not absorb the perspiration ; it would pass through from one to the other, but in cotton, if it absorbs it—I had better say soaks into it—there it remains cold or hot, or clammy.

FEBRUARY 18, 1879. From Washington. [From the Baltimore Sun.] WOMAN LAWYERS. The Senate passed by a vote of 40 to 29 the bill admitting to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States woman lawyers now practicing in the State and Territorial courts and the courts of this District. As the bill passed the House at the last session it will now go to the President for his signature. The bill is for the benefit of Mrs. Belva Lockwood, of tnis city, who was refused admission to the bar of the Supreme Court about twelve months since. She then said she would go to Congress and get a law passed to com pel the Supreme Court to let her in. She is in high feather the over her success, as she considers Presi¬ dent too much of a ladies’ man to veto the bill. gov. hartranft’s nomination. The nomination of ex-Governor Tlar*' tranft to be postmaster at Philadelphia is considered as aifything but a compli¬ ment by his friends here, yet it is un¬ derstood that he will be very glad to take it in th.. absence of anything bet¬ ter. It is rather in the nature of a let down for a man who has been Gover¬ nor of a great State for six years, and whose name has been before a national convention as a candidate for the Presi¬ dency, to be named ?' a postmaster. But it has been understood that Gov¬ ernor Han tranft wanted an office so badly that if he could not get crumb he would take crust, and crust he has certainly gotten. THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BILL. Capt. Cowden, the father of the out¬ let system, has prepared opposition a memorial the Mis^ to the Senate in to sissippi river commission bill. Capt. Cowden makes these poiots : That the bill virtually Valley places the the fortunes hands of the Mississippi in of five men, whose interest it is to continue their office as long as possible without accomplishing anything ; that the com¬ mission, w'hich requires $250,000 for expenses, will simply recommend the levee plan, costing $44,000,000 for the beginning. Capt. Cowden recommends that a joint committee be appointed to investigate the subject, taking the tes¬ timony of practical river men and civil engineers, who shall collect all evidence on the subject of outlet jetties and levees. This, he claims, would not cost $10,000, and wonld result in saving hundreds of millions to the governmet. “I want to find out who is the master of this house,” said the man with a book under his arm to the vinegary looking woman with a pointed nose and a very small top-knot, who opened the door for him. Well, stranger,” she said, with arms akimbo, “you just walk around into the back-yard and ask a little spindle shanked deacon you'll find there fixin’ up the grape-arbor, and he’ll tell you if I don’t boss this ranch be don’t know who does. Now, what do you want with me?” Dakota does not seem to be unani¬ mously in favor of admission as a State, the Territory being so large that the Black Hill miners have no feelings or interests in common with the settlers along the Red river and the Northern Pacific Railroad rout*. A division in¬ to two Territoiies ia asked for and pre¬ ferred. The most of the population would be in the southern half of the Territory, as is the case in Minnesota. The Black Hills region is estimated at 100,000 people. A writer in the Army and Navy Journal ascribe! to Marshal Von Molt ke all glory of the w’ondrous victories of Prussia and the new German Em¬ pire, but conveniently ignores the mas¬ terly statesmanship of Bismarck, his daring policy, and the heroic character of the Emperor and his son and nephew. Beyond all question the Em reror himself was the real leader, his i con rage and faith operating like in HD’ration upon all around him. | During their trial’he City of Glas- | , LIOW Bant Directors were permitted on | j Sunday to go out into the country in a , j closed carriage to take the air, a j j which moved an English paper to ask ‘ whether there is no exercising yard i and no governor's garden within t> j I walls of the Glasgow Tolbooth; and 1 whether ■ a tinker, indicated for larceny 1 would be taken for an airing on Sun- ; day in the case of his trial «xtending 1 over that dav.” The employment of wood in the i manufacture of paper is not conducive to the longevity . of that substance.; Prof. Reulcaux called attention to the subiect in a lecture delivered t Leipsic, point ms mt that, used in the Brennan ] ubli o .- omy com posed of wot the c ruction, . from! natural cause ot many important offi- i c-ial rscords may be expected, fifteen He limits their duration to about vea Northern Texas has shipped * * 100,000 j cattle this season.

Cincinnati, February 17.—A dis¬ patch says Paul Boynton is at Pitts¬ burg waiting for the flow of the heavy ice in the Ohio river to become re¬ duced, so as to make a voyage down the stream and the Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico.

The Times says : “It is probable a brigade of all arms will be dispatched from India to reinforce Lord Chelms¬ ford. The Fifty-seventh Foot will leave Colombo, Ceylon, to-morrow, and may be expected at Port Durban, Na¬ tal, on March 10. In the meantime Lord Chelmsford has already been re¬ inforced by one company of the Eighty eighth Regiment (Connaught Rangers) from St. Helena, and by three hundred men of the Second Battalion of the Fourth (King’s Own) from Capetown. ^kis bring up his infantry lorce to nearl y the same strength that it was nor t0 the disaster ol the 22d alt.” About six thousand weavers are out of employment at Macclesfield on account of the depression in trade. slight Calcutta, February 17.—There was a fall of rain in the Punjaub on Saturday, but not sufficient to appreci* ably benefit the crops or diminish the risk of a famine, which is imminent unless rain falls within a fortnight. Constantinople, February 17.— Marquis de Youquevilie telegraphs the acceptance of the financial project involving a loan to the Porte of eight million pounds sterling. The ' orte will request England and France to appoint each two delegates to the com¬ mission for administering the customs of the army and navy, which will be reduced to a peace footing. A Thoughtful Darkey.— Yester j a f y morJ i n g g an able bodied negro ca Ied afc t e Ordinary’s office, on ma trimony intent, and made, in cool earneg ^ a proposition that almost took functionary's breath away. He ga jq p e p a q made U p m [ n q f 0 g e t marr i ed and p ad two dusky charmers i n view, but didn't know exactly which wou ] d su [t best. He proposed to 0 p v i a t e th is difficulty by marrying — we dding one first and if he be came dissatisfied with the partnership to flj sso l ve ft and marry the other. Both women, he said, knew of this ar¬ rangement and were perfectly satisfied with it. He wanted the Ordinary, therefore, to give him two licenses for half price, so as to be prepared in case the first wife did not suit him. Judge Bothwell informed him that it was against the law to issue two licenses to one man. The colored citizen walked off with his one license and thinks law is a poor thing .—Chronicle and Consti • tution. It is singular that Americans, who ordinarily their are not slow in adapting to own uses the money-saving con¬ trivances of foreigners, have never at" tempted England to start co*perative stores. In these enterprises, b«gun only a few years ago on a small scale by those connected with the government ? l v 1 1 service, have been surprisingly successful. The first efforts were ex cee'finglv humble, the rooms beine O mpplie neonvernent as to location, and the B I m goods small ^ ; but by degrees has been changed, and now the civil service stores in London, and others t! have been established in that city and elsewhere on the general plan, do an immen business, and contain large quantities of every conceivable article that enters into h hold use. The King of Spain recently met Louis II. of Braganza of Portugal in Elv-a. on the frontier, on the occasion the opening of a new railroad from one kingdom to the other, and it is «aid that their meeting, ostensibly to bon or the opening of the raiirc was jeaiiV the , to treat upon marriage of Louis dest son to the Princess Maria Pia second sister of Alfonso.

In Calcutta there are 199 Hindo temples, 117 Mahometan mosques, 31 Christian churches, and 2 Jewish agogues. Castor oil is becoming an important product in British India. Last year there was 67,000 acres devoted to it in Madras. It has been cultivated with success in Iowa. A decision has just been rendered in St. Louis that the city cannot be held responsible for damage when a person is run over by fire companies hastily answering an alarm. Princess Matilda, the niece of the King of Saxony, is one of the few mar¬ riageable daughters of Roman Catholic reigning time houses, and has been for some spoken of as the future Crown Princess o* Austria. The Mahrattas had a simple but ef¬ fectual method of diecovering wealthy Hindoos. They poured water on the leaves the people use instead of plates to eat rice from ; if it ran off, the man was rich, because he could afford clari¬ fied butter, whereas the poor have only salt. Persian trade is in an eminently un¬ satisfactory condition. The*-e is a con¬ tinual drain of specie outward. The silk production of the Caspian provin¬ ces is steadily falling off, and, altogeth¬ er, the country is drifting into banl^ ruptcy, which the effects of the late war must tend to accelerate. A sum of $140,000, consisting of re¬ mittances to Europe from merchants in Mexico has been captured by fifteen brigands and on Vera the railroad About between dozen Pu¬ ebla Cruz. a brigands took third-class tickets, the seated themselves in a carriage next bag¬ gage car, and about half an hour after starting severed all the cars behind them. It is one of the unwritten laws of Delaware that no lawyer shall be elect¬ ed governor. Their lawyers, they think, should be sent to Congress. Some respectable farmer, merchant or doctor, is chosen to look after State af¬ fairs, and but once has the governor aspired to the United States Senate. That aspirant, Dr. Saulsbury, failed. He was defeated by his brother, the present Senator. The losies by fires in the United States and Canada during 1878, ac¬ cording to the Insurance Chronicle , ag¬ gregate $70,266,400, not counting a multitude of small fires of which no re¬ turns have been made. Of this loss $39,678,600 fell on insurance com-( panies, the remainder on the owners of the property. In all there were 12, 023 fires, or one for every forty-three minutes of time, and the daily destruc¬ tion was 192,511. A Montrealer has made his fortune by renting houses for immoral pur¬ in poses, the city owning but property in every w T ard two. He is at present contesting au assessment for taxes the where a high valuation was made by city, on th« ground that he exacted exhorbitant rents from his tenants and that his ownership depreciated the value of his neighbors’ buildings. This is the same worthy citizen who, accord¬ ing to a court decision, cannot be libel¬ led, no matter w'hat is said of him. In clearing away the debris in the vicinity of Temple Bar the workmen chanced on a bottle of wine, something like the smaller Schiedam flagons yet in use in Holland in its shape, and beautifully iridescent, its originally dark colored glass showing signs of the action of the fire. The wine within is of a pale ruby tint, and only a spoonful of it has evaporated. It is evidently a red wine and may date back as far as 1819, judging from the neighborhood in which it was found. A New York letter to the Charleston News and Courier says : ‘ ‘Agents of banks and bankers are going round and offering money, both on call and paper, aj on the most tempting terms. This is somewhat new business for the parties! i Q question to run about wfith their money for a customer, but it shows, first, great abundance of money, and second, that business does not begin to q e lively enough to absorb it—certainly I not active enough to seek the capital, rather than the capital seeking it.” Dr. Bertillon has published another statistical etude in France to prove that matrimony is more favorable to longev¬ ity than celibacy.
