GOING TO MAKE " HOME HOWL."

Pabson Newman, Grant's old friend, who used to travel around the the world at public expense, is going to start a No-Popery paper in ■Newlork. Newman is Grant's pastor when the latter is at home, but he is careful to state that the general has no connection with the new project ; and we don't believe he has. Grant is not fool enough to go into a speculation which is so certain to return small profits and no honor however much he may sympathise with its principles, wo-lopery is the last shift of a desperate rogue, and only one step irom the jail or gutter that awaits him. Not because it is "NoPopery alone. The same would be true of the man who should try to get up a No- Protestant, No-Jew, or No-Anybody cry. Intolerance Has not even the attraction of money rewards for its apostles, although most, if not all of them take it up expecting to find it profitable. Of course a disgraced priest with no other means of support, a vulgar lecturer hungry for notoriety, or a poor-devil penny a-liner with a natural talent for blackguardism, can always make a penny by pitching into the Pope; but men of talent and character have neither desire nor inclination for such work. Parson Newman will have no difficulty in drumming up a corps ot writers in Bohemia who for the lowest market rates will " make Kome howl every day in the week if required, and the best of it is, liome won t be hurt by the howling, while General Grant and the otner sheep of Newman's flock will be vastly edified.— Pilot.
