The core- monlal of the blessing is an improssive ono, and usually draws largo crowds to tho place where it s colobrated. Bt. Mary's Church wes com- Pplotely fillod, Inst ovoning, by a most attentive suditory. . At 8 o'clock tho Right-Rov, Biskop Foloy on- tored tho Eeanctuary, followed by tho clorgy snd acolytes who woro to asslst him, The clorgymon whoso nemea follow wore in ntton- danco: Tho prstor of Bt.

It waa practiced eyen in tho time of tho Gospols, nccording to St. Joromo, who saya that Ohriatians were wont to vislt the holy placos in crowds, coming ovon from the farthest cornors of the carth.

Tho Fathors Minorite Observants of tho Order of St. Francis; in Italy, and olsowhoro throughout the Catholic world, sprond zoslously tho dovotion of tho Via Crucis, orccting in all their own churches fourtcen soparato stations, #0 that all who choso might mako the journoy o the Way to Calvary, This wholesomo devotion has always been approved b; tho Popes. Thoso who porform dovoutly the Via Crucis may gain all the indulgonces granted to those who visit, in porson, the sacrad places. Tho Bishop con- tinued his oxplanation at somo length, advising tho obsorvanco of this dovotion by all 'his hear- ©ors, and fnculeating the porforminnco of overy zeligious duty.

A Dechate in the Ponusylvania Constis tutional Convention. TAILADELTHLA, ieD, 13, 1673, o the Editor of The Chicago Tribunc : Sm: Whilst sojourning in Philadelphia, I gninod admission to the hallin whichjthe Con- stitutionsl Convontion of the Btato was as- sombled, and, as I boliovo o fow facts pertaining to tho Convention will bo intorosting -to your readers, I toko this medium of transmitting them. This Convontion is composed of the leading mon of the State. Among *the most prominent members I would mention the Hon., William M. Meredith, considered tho most able Imwyer at tho Philadelphin bar; tho Hon. J. 8. Black, formorly Chiof Jus- tico of the Buprome Court of Peunsylvanin; tho Hon. Charles R. Buckale, one of the ablest and most profound lawyers of Ponnsylysnia; Gov. A. 0. Curtin, widely known as. “tho Bol- diors’ Friend,” for his scts whilst Governor of tho Koystono Stato; James Qowan, Presidont of the Rending Railroad Company; the Hon. ‘Wayne McVeigh, of Chéster County, late Minis- tor to Constantinople; and many others whoso mamos figure {romincnuy and conspicuously in tho bistory of this Btate. As T enfored tho Chambor, I discovered an im- portant monsnro was undor conaidoration, and, Trom the Frcut number of ladics preaont, I was eatisflod it was a subject of importanco and in- terest to thom. Tho subject under consideration was “\Woman's Buffrago;” whother or not they should incorporate that provision in their Con- stitution. 0 momber Who lind the flooras I entered was advocating the cause. Ho remarked that nothing conld be said in favor of a man's right to voto that did not equally apply to ovory ‘woman's right to vote. In-{his conncection, ho referred to the stm‘fl;la against Ameorican elavory, andremarked that projudico was all- powerful for o timo agninst “innovations upon ©stablished usngos ; but that, whon theso inno- vations were found to inuro to the benoflt of ‘communitios or nations, prejudico, in the eond, must give way, and tho barrier of bigo'ry bo brokon down, Onceit wns conceded that all Just government was founded upon the consent of the governed, and that womon wore among the governed, tho wholo argument would be admitted. Butit was said that women wero already roproscntod in tho Govornment, is ~ho -donied, becauso no- man had the power .of roprosonting his family in tho Goveroment. By what authority ‘has auy man been commissioned to cast tho vyote ofyfim family ? Who gave that power to him? Neithor the Coustitution nor” tho law goy anything about it, No man voted in a repre- gentative capacity, nor as the hoad of the fam- ily. But, iftho family wastobo roprosented 88 o unit in tho' hond of it, who was to ropresont {t where o woman was tho Lesd of it? The peeertion that woman was mentally inferior to man, aud was not capablo of_solf-govornmont, be deolared to be untrue, aud, if true, irrolev- ant, Tho ronlts of tho oxporitont of {Voman's Buffrago in \Vyomlng Torritory wore roferred to In support ~of his declaration, as also the abillt displayed by Cathorine of Russia, Elizaboth of Euglend, and many other Guoons of history, in tho government of thoir Iingdoms. Ho romarked thub ono of tho mombérs, in opposiug the messure, had snid *¢ that women ngould not voto becauso thoy could not fight.” Hoe contradicted the statemont, snd roplied by roferncos to Joan of Arg, tho Maid of Barpgosss, and othor historic feminiue warri- ors. It had boon eaid that nobody wau asking for woman suffrago but tho Woodhulls and Olaf- lins, of New York. That wns unfair, for tho eamo reason it would be to seloct Judas as tha roprosentativo of tho Twolvo Apostlos, Buch as- sertions ho most emphatically denied, Lt had beon snid that tho proposition wasa new ono, and would not work woll; in other words, it would havo n tendonoy to domoralizo society, 1o did not bellove it, for, wherover. the ux‘farlmont Lad beon tried, it'workea woll. It had oxhibited o tendouey to clevate the man and improvo his morels. In conclusion, a glowing tributo was given to the loudors of the movemet, * Mr, Walker, of Erio, I opposing the measure, stated that tho gontloman had utarled wrong, Mo assumod what ho hnd no right to assume, o regarded tho suffrage, not as a natural, but » convontional right, Looking at tho man and svomnn in & state of nature, rights should not b {thheldl from ofthor. But this subject is not to o troated a8 & mnatural right. ° ‘The ques- ton lg, Is it for tho best intorosts of bis _ftate that woman should " bo al- oned . to voto? Tho sposker said not; nd, in saying it, ho did nob undorvaluo the box. In nsb\;mln(ilhln position, Lo would not fmply that women bad not all the intplligonco, viriio, patriotism, and gthor qualities roquisito for an'intolligent voter, It ls bocause ho be- lotod that woman's bonofloial influonce on #ocloty wonld bo mndo greator by withholding than conforring tho suflrago that he wna opposod to extonding the privilego to her. Ha believed that our spprociation of the female oharactor had a_diroct tendonoy to elovato our own, therefore ho di not m‘oEuBu to drag womon into polities, nor introduce her to tho honted and XILMmperud controverslos of the hustings, : I, CuLnrrit, " THE FARM AND GARDEN.

X am going to write alout tho Elgin Watoh- Tactory. * Woll, what has n watch-factory to do ‘with ferming 2" I hoar somo one inquire. Why, my doar sir; ithas vory much to do with farm matters in ita noighborhood ; and, then, it s but tho history of similnr industrios, all of which have their influence on tho profits and mavagemont of tho farm, and tho condition of tho farmer and his family. In tho firat place, it takes tho farmor's son and the farmer's daughtor from tho over-crowded or ill-paid Inbor of tho farm, nud gives thom n trado by which, at modorato Inbor, thoy may onrn Iarge wages. And, then, to food these npprou~ tices, and skilled workmon and workwomen, the farmor has an additional domand for the pro- ducts of tho farm, the orchard, and tho garden. But thig is not the end of it, for othor industrics aro closely allicd to this, and are indircotly fos- tored, and becomo a permanent nocoseity, The ‘woolon mill 14 close at hand, to spin, and wonvo, | and dyo tho cloth for theso workmen; and woolen yarn must bo had for stockings forall, This do~ mands wool and mutton, and thus the farmer, has two profits on his smoll flack of sheop, wheraeas he bnd only one boforo, ‘I'hen thore must beboardling-houacs, or housos for fomilios, and theso familios and - boardors must be fed and clothed. When watch-making pays bottor than the farm, tho boys snd girls of the farm sook the businoss; and when, by this chango of Inbor in farming, ita condition 18 improved, tho farmer Liros other Inbor; aud thus the round of labor 18 supplied, and the oquilibrium yostored. Tho approntice-boy comes to bo o skilled workman, and {8 paid wages for skilled work, and is found in his place yoar in and year out, for ho has no iden of chnnge, and becomies, as it wero, wodded to hin business, and thus, in timo, bocomos ea- sontial to tho Watch Company, that appreciates this steady work, and increasos his wages yoar aftor year, NOT B0 OF THE APPRENTIOE-GIRI, though sho becomos n ekilled workwoman, and is paid the wages of a skilled workwoman ; not mon's pay for mon's work, but such propo; tionato pay as tho condition of things will war- rant. Tho Company do mnot know whon the workwoman will give them notice to quit work, whilo tho men mny bo rolied upon s steady, continuous workmon, for, if thoy do marry, thoy continuo in tho samo omployment, and, if possi- ble, givo it bottor nttoution, for now they hiave on intorest in making thomsolves useful and a necossity to_tho Watch Company, a4 they also look foriard to promotion. But the caso {u dit- forent with the workwoman, for sho has another destiny, and some ycuug morchant, some doetor, somo Inwyer, some machenic or man of busincss, whispors gomo mystio words in her ear, and pro- Pposes some now arrangomont,—all of which is senled with a kiss; and—and tho Watch Com- pany has notice that thore will bo anidlo ma- chino and a vacant sent aftor— days fromdato, Theso notices, writton on tinted paper, are dmpsm] into tho lottor-box, one aftor one, on Monday morning, and tho blank days aro spont in arranging the promotions that aro to follow. Thus £o many new approntices can have places, and thus throe persons aro madoe happy: ti Workwomanand the FOUNE 1uu vlio “1.!'.,‘:{..‘.1‘33 bor, and tho apprentice who obtains a placo. Bat tho Watch Company is mntter-of-fact com- pany, and soon learns that this lowors the aver- ago valuo of tho workwomsan as an omploye. So wo see that, aftor nll, in theso industries thero is an insurmountable barrier to the workwoman commanding men's pay for men's work, And, 80 long a8 & stondy workman is of moro valub than anunateady one, so long will this bo the casp. I'olaim to be an advocate of woman's rights but then the women workmon must fill all the requiromonts that aro demanded of tho mon. But tho_ history of tho Watch Company shows that both men” and womon workmen do marry; aud whilo the man in consequence will provo a bettor omploye, as & stoady, reliable workman, it usually takes tho woman from the workshop, and roturna her to tho socinl lifo of & houso- keopor. Why, then, allow tho girl to learn the trade, if sho will marry and loave the business so soon after sho becomes a skilled workwoman ?"' Be- causo it will do her no harm; in fact, thoso workwomen MAKE THE DEST OF WIVES, and the best of housekeopors. In tho Qrat place, thoy lLave boon trained to habite of industry, and pationt, painstaking labor. They havo livo on their own earnings, and loarnad thovalue of monoy, and thus thoy have become industrioua ond prudent. It ie these qualitios that go to mako tho ossentials of n good wifo and a good housckeoper. The Watch Company has paid thom ail that it oan afford to do, whon wo consider the uncortain tenuro of the timo thet thoy may continue in its employ. If the men wore lablo to leava its cmployment_on the samo uncertain timo, it would also lessen tho value of thoir labor, nnd they would be compolled to accopt loss wages, or rather women's pry for women's work. What our fomalo eufltagans may say to this, Idonot know. But of this wo may bo nesurod ; it all the workwomon in the Watch-Factory woro armed with avoto st the Municipal or Stata olections, it would not chango the fact that a ‘hundred women workmen ARE WORTII LESS, por day or por month, than a hnndrod men; simply for tlio roason that thoy cannot bo rolied upon for steady worl for tho cominf years, as wo know that those workwomon who earn their 82, ¢, or €5 a_day vill, as it has beon provod, loave this omployment, and turn thoir attontion to tho kitchon and the nursery: Thus much for the farmer’s son and the farmor's daughter who learn the trado of o watohmaker, whother ot Elgin or other poluts. J . NO ONE OAN COMPLATY of this stato of things; nor can it bo enid that tho workwoman is not E:nd full wages, though sho gots less Wwagos por day or por ook than tho man, Bholacks noithor skill nor industry; yot hor loss to the Company is an itom of somo im- Emrumco, and, if it had to pay the girl-appren- icos the snmo wages as tho boys, it would prefor tho latter, and tho formor ivould wot be em- ylaycd, ot }eaat not in large numbors, Livory farmor knows tho valuo of a farm-hand who works year aftor yeur on tho samoe farm, and becomos, ad it were, & part of it. And so'it is with workmen who maybo relied upon yoar after renr. I do not intond to bo drawn into suy gon- roversy on this subject, my only object Loing to stato Lho facts a8 I find thom as connocctod with the labor question of our rural population, "'ho factory han somo 660 omployoes in the gov- oral dopartmonts, ona-half of Whom aro womots, T'he wuges puid per month sggrogato 836,000 and this sum fs drawn from distanc parts of tho country, and, iustend of & drsin upon tho Jocality, ADDS TO ITS RESOURCES, for, wherover civilization plants its standard, thero you find the watch, made by tho aid of curlous machinery, more_perfect in all its parts, moro dusable, and vastly choapor, than thoso made by hand-labor by tho poorly-puid workmen of Europe. 'TIIE FAOTORY AS A MUSCUM OF MACHINERY, To a farmer, It is an intoresting sight to look through all this intricate and curious mechan- {sm ; for tho machines that nro used to mako n watch are more curious and complicated than the wateh itsolf, Tho Aworican watch fs ag simplo in its goaring a8 o mowing-machiue, and counstructed upou the snme geueral plan; for it hasno chain or graduated bavrel, but shaply a got of wheels, pinious, and governors, ‘Ihe olil wateh, with its chain and n-ov.au[ contained moro than 800 soparato piocon, whilo tho now watcl: is composed uptonlys'fifl.

Olearwator had proceedod several miles into tho wildornoss, when ho struok tho trall of a boar. Having hia riflo with him, and o dog, ho dstormined to follow tho track, although it took him out of his diroot track. He followed tho trail to tho mnrfln of a stream onllod Bright Braok, in the northorn part of Pike County, whon it took another course, toward what i known s the High Kuob, the highest emiuenco in northenstorn Pennsylvania. ~ Tho bear lod Mr, Cloarwator to n mnkymec(pltmm hill, up which it had clambored. arwator was now thoroughly aroused, as o waé confldont of got~ ting n #hot at tho brato, ITo did not take into consideration the poril that might attond the hunt, and, boing au old hunter and woodsman, probably cared nothing for it. Aftor following tho trail among tho rocks for some timo, Cloar- water's dog bogan to oxhibit signs of un- opsiness, which led his master to believe that thoy woro closo upon tho object of their ursuit. = On roaching the summit of a oll, which ho hod roachod by~ s clrouitous soute, Mr, Oloarwater ssw basking in the sun, ‘boneath an overhanging rock, in n secluded an: sheltorad placo, tho boar—s huga black follaw, tho_lnrgest Lo Lind ever acon, Tho dog at onco madoan outery, and tho bear jumpod up. Seoing tho intruders, e ondeavored “to got awny, whon & ball from the hunter's riflo stopped him. The dog nt onco rusbed at the animal, which raisod up on its hnunchos to receive tho attack, The dog nt onco closed with tho bear, whon, rolling ovor nud over togothor, both dog and boar twont down the ill, fifty foot below. _Olearwator was now in a fovor of oxcitomont. Mo did not know how badly the bear was wounded, and, from_tho courso he took, did not soem to care. Loading ouly one barrel of his gun, ko ran down tho hill to within a few yards or the bear and duf;, which woro still engagod in o dondly struggle. 'Tho dog hod sunk his tdeth in tho floshy part of the beur's cheok, and the boar - was ondoavoring to ol s plucky contostaat fn Lis ombraco. Tlio untor ~stood looking st 'tho conflict, knowing woll how it wowld termiunto, yob, sin- gularly énough, not using bis wonpon on bohalf of tho dog. It was not until the Loar had suc- gooded in gotting bis puva around. tho dog, aud thio doath-yel! of tha dog soundod high abovo tho ru\\‘lin§ and sparling of tho bear, that the Fiinter fived again. _ I¢ soomod o s only tho offact of adding to tho fury of tho beast, for it atonce atarted with distondod jaws and glaring eycs upon its ramnlninfi enomy. 'Tho -spaco botweon tho hunter and the boar was nbout forty yards, He had no othor weapon than his empty ritlo. Tor the firat timo Lo saw_ the folly of nog- lecting to load both barrels, 8o ho did the only thing he could under the circumstancos— torned and ran, Ho thought he would have no difficulty in koeping out of the way of tho benr, and would load his 1fle as ho rav, and probably give his parsuer running shot now and then, until he killod him, This was nicoly planned,’ but when lo com- moncod to load his ritle, ho found that ho had in some way lost his ball pouch! Ho also discoy- ored, to his constornation, that iustoad of out- stripping tho boer, tho bear was rapidly galning on him. ~ Tho comparative coolness with whick Oloaryater lnd uccmmd tho situation a fow minutes boforo, now changod to s far diffaront focling.. In o vory fow minutes the bear wonld bo upon him, and’in such an ovent his bones would probably be found with thoso of tho dog when tho spring brought the lumbormon and bark-pullers to tho woods, He, thereforo, did tho anly thing ho could do, made for the nearest troo that answorod Lis purpose, and olimbed it ot fem b L Utivape WG LIl UL G40 Dty Svhich ronched tho treo almost assoon as ho did. Cloarwator, in tolling of his adyonturo, says that tho conduct of “the boar when ho found himsolf foiled struck " torror into his very soul, although ho was out of tho roach of the foro- clous brute. Ho struck the troo with his claws, awed tho {runk, and uttored fonrfal growls, g“l’nnlly the bruto bocamo quiet, and, lying down ‘boneath tho troo, licked kis wouuds and whinod piteously over them, After the bear had aban- doned its more belligerent attitudo, Clerrwater looked about him to 6eo how ho was situnted. ‘To his horror he saw for tho firat time that the troo ho was in was growing up close to tho'side of o hill, or ridgo, and oxtending out into tho vory branches was & rock. On one sida tho limba of tho treo wero twelve foot from the ound; on tho other thoy touched tho ground, t soon beecamo ovident to Lim: that tho ‘boar had discovered the condition of affairs, and. saw its advantago, for, aftor about five minutos of quiet, it gathored itsolf up and procoeded leisuraly up the hill, and was soon face to faco with the hunter, Aait crept out toward him, Oloaryater placed himsolf as far out on the branch as ho could, and said it was imyosslblo to dencribo his feelingaat that moment.. ‘The boar's fury hed all roturncd, and it now stood within two foot of him, foaming at tho mouth, its red Jawa wido opou, and a doadly hate shooting from its oyes. It took ono moro step slowly toward him, whon thoe limb broke benoath thoir weight, and down thoy went with o crash to the groun togother. TFortuuately, Clearwater did not fall benoath tho bear, and ko had bhardly struck tho ground bofore ho was on his foet, foeling no injury from tho fall, Booing his rifle lying at tha foot of the troe, ho scized it at onco and, clubbing it, stood ready to receive the at- tack of the besr, 'W'o his gurpriso and dolight, tho boar roso glowly, a8 if in pain, and, whon it turned npon him, he saw that one of its hugo foro logs was broken, and hung usoless at his sido, 'This soomed to iucrenso, If possible, the rago of the brute, for it rushed furiously for- ward, Cloarwator brought tho butt of hit gun, with all_ tho forco at his command, down upon the lioad of his assnilant, who staggerod undor its offocts, Tho gun flew into n dozen pieces, tho Dbarrol remaining in the hands of its owner. Ouly an instant's delny was causod by tho blow to tho bear, whon it sgain rushed forward, this timo recoiving tho barrol of tho gun in its mouth, Clesrwater thrusting it for- ward with all bis strongth, thus hoping to run it down tho animnl's throat, Tho pondorous jawa closed on it instantly, and it Was wronolied from his hands. Happily, it had entorod so far into the benr's mouth that'to got it out it dropped to its foot and placed its paw on tho barrol to relesso it. Taking adventago of this, Oloarwator, who an instant before had von up all Lopo of odcapo, atartod, ns fast s o could run, ovor tho Tidgo. “Hho bor, although having but threo logs to uso, started n pursult, but mado such slow progross that Cloarwator thought he would have no difficulty in oludin his purpuer. « But in his ardor to escapo ho di not notice whithor ho waa going, and bofore ho was awaro of tho fact wont floundering Into o bog-holo, walat-daep with water, snow, and ico.

President Watson, of the Erio Road is an Ohio man, and §a bound by the most intimato friend- ship to tho ofilcors of tho Lako Bhore. Tie ob{eet of thoErio combination was, firstly, to goin control of a live and _vnluable rail- rond ; and secondly to scaure a direct lino to St. Louis, nnd tlioncae wostward by tho Missouri & Kansas Pacific. Tho Erie Road connects diroctly with tho Atlantic & Grost Wostern ot Sala- manen ; tho Atlantic & Great Wostern intor- gects tho Cloyoland, Columbus, Cincionati & Indiapopolis Road at Galion, and by making tranafors from tho broad to tho narrow gaugo nt tho Inttor nll_mudfoiul there ia openod an nir lino from Now York to 8t Louls.
