THE RURAL NEW-/ORKER. 
between tbe clergy and the infidels, for, said he, 
“The Catholics have the right of Insulting you In 
their pulpits, their congresses, and their newspa¬ 
pers, while any one who attempts to reply to them 
comes Into collision with the law for the protection 
of religious morality.” 
An International Congress of eminent engineers 
lately sat In Pails under the presidency of M. Les- 
seps, builder of the Suez Canal, to discuss the ways 
and means of carrying out the greatest engineer¬ 
ing enterprise yet. projected—the piercing of the 
Isthmus between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans 
by a ship canal. The scheme has occupied men’s 
minds In a greater or less degree ever since the 
Spanish conquest, and the llrst survey for It was 
made as long ago as 1329, and all that Is necessary 
for comparison of the merits of the seven or eight 
rival lines has now been done, arid the result is 
before the Commission. All of them involve either 
a system of gigantic locks or of gigantic tunnels, 
but the choice or the Commission lay chiefly be¬ 
tween the Nicaragua, or American route, and the 
Pauama-Asplnwall, or French route, one to cost 
1180,1X10,000 and the other $«40,oOO,Ooo; and the last 
has been selected, not a little to the disgust of our 
folks, and will take twelve years for completion, 
and probably a great part, of that time berore 
money enough can be raised to make an effective 
beginning. The committee on ways and means 
are opposed to government assistance of the enter¬ 
prise, and propose a transit duty of is per ton, at 
which rate It 1s estimated that tbe gross receipts 
of the canal will reach f.is, 000,000 a year. The 
commerce committee of the congress consider this 
rate too high. 
Lord Chelmsford, the British soldier whom the 
disaster at Isancula and his Indifferent success In 
South Africa, since has made so unpopular, has at 
last been superseded by sir carnet Wolaeley, who 
is appointed supreme military and civil comman¬ 
der Of Natal, the Transvaal and other districts 
that adjoin and are Included In llic seat of war. 
Sir Bartle Frerereraaluagovernor of Cape Colony, 
and Beaconsfleld was kind enough to announce 
In the House of Lords last evening that, though 
Wolseley would not be immediately deprived of 
tbe latter’s services. Gen Grant leaves Yoko¬ 
hama, Japan, the last of June and will reach San 
Francisco about July no. 
The British have gained every political and 
commercial advantage for which they entered 
upon the Afghan war, In a treaty signed at Gunda- 
muok this day week by the Ameer and Major Cav- 
ugnarl. The British are assigned the Huron, Slbl 
and Plshln valleys, giving them control of the 
mountain passes leading from India, and will hand 
the surplus revenues over to the Ameer, who Is 
guaranteed a yearly subsidy of $ 300 , 000 . The 
British will remain at Canduhar till fall and will 
appoint a resident at Cabul, to which point a tele¬ 
graph Is to be established. The British resident Is 
to have an escort for agents sent to the Afghan 
frontier on special occasions; the Ameer Is guar¬ 
anteed against foreign aggression; British sym¬ 
pathizers In Afghanistan are to be amnestied and 
there Is to be peace and friendship hereafter be¬ 
tween the contracting parties. The competitors 
In the match for the walking championship of the 
world, to take place at London, England, June in, 
have been reduced to Rowell, Ennis, Brown and 
Harding of Blackvvall. The list will be open until 
Friday, to give Weston an opportunity to enter.

Chdrch Property in New York State.— What 
the freedom of the Church from entangling alliance 
with the State can effect Is shown in the religious 
condition of the State of New York, according to 
the official census for 1875. There are 6,320 organi¬ 
zations In the entire commonwealth, and «,«» 
church edifices; the sittings number 8.587,470, and 
the church-members 1,177,470. The churches, with 
the ground on which they stand, are valued at 
$101,105,705; the sum of $10,308,881 Is paid annually 
in salaries to the clergy. All these are free gifts 
of the people. Ju sittings the leading denomina¬ 
tions rank In the following order; Methodists, 
700,078; Presbyterians, 378,008; Baptists, 351,308;

Rose Eytlnge, the actress. Is of partly Jewish 
descent. The Boston Herald’s correspondent says 
that, while she was louuglng in the Union Square 
Theatre green-room between a matinee and an 
evening performance, an actor entered just In time 
to see her yawn. Gazing In affected horror at her 
widely-opened mouth, he exclaimed, “ Oh, don’t 
swallow me.” “You are safe,” she retorted; “1 
am enough a Jewess to abhor pork,"

Wool.—T he sharp competition for supplies has 
continued the past week, and buyers have been 
willing to meet almost any reasonable price—the 
struggle to secure supplies being based upon the 
marked improvement lu trade in the goods market. 
Much interest is given the marketing of the new 
clips, and all early arrivals it Is probable will lind a 
market at swing dgutes, since the .stocks tn manu¬
