DU BUQUE CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.
Prompted by the spirit Of Christianity and
good will to all mankind, WE, the under
signed, residents of Du Buque county, in the
territory of Wisconsin, fully convinced that
the first duty of man upon earth is the render
ing to Almighty God that worship and adora-

and that in all we'll regulated communities, for
the observance Of the principles of religion, it
becomes necessary TO erect houses of prayer;

Of Du Buque, as well as the expenses for the
performance Of divine service; and believing
that in the present circumstances of our scat
tered population, the most easy and equitable
mode to accomplish these objects Of our wish
es, would be, by small sums paid at stated
times, by voluntary contributions, WE have,
on this first day Of January, 1897, alta public

that we will form ourselves into an association
for the purpose Of raising fund, by monthly

wAsHINGToN'S BIRTH DAY IN WASHINGTON.
 There is not the least doubt that this is a little of tho drollest country from the Hotten- tots home to the Sultan of Muscat's kingdom The old Romans talked of democracy, and the Greeks pretended something in that way But for the genuine, pure, patent-right democ- racy, our government against the world ! This is Washington's Birth day, you know The President, the Departments, the Senate, and we, who arc mightier than alive the people mean, have celebrated it-by eating "a big Cheese The Presidents house was thrown open. The multitude swarmed in.-- The Senate of the United States adjourned. The Secretaries of the various Departments turned out. Representatives in squadrons left the capitol--and ali for the purpose of eating cheese! Yes, all for the purpose of eat- ing cheese! Mind ye, don't laugh at it. Who has better right to eat cheese than we! It is all the spells we can get, and as others nibble at the Treasury, why on earth should not we the people nibble at the big cheese.- MT. Van Buren was there to eat cheese. MT. | Webster, was there to eat cheese. Mir. Wood bury with his most amiabfe Lady, was there to eat cheese. Mr. Secretary Dickerscn (un- happy man, he has no lady) was there to eat cheese. Tho gallant Col. J. Towson was eating cheese. Tine Court, the Fashion, the Beauty,of W Washington were all eating cheese. Officers in Washington, Foreign Representa- tives in stars aud gartcrs. gay, joyous, dash ing and gorgeous women, in all the pride, and panoply. and pomp ofwealth, were there eat ing cheese. Cheese, cheese, cheese, was on every body's mouth. All you heard was cheese. All you saw was cheese All you snnclt was cheese It was cheese, cheese, cheese. Streams of cheese were going up in the Avenue in every body's fists Balls of cheese were in hundred pockets. Every handkerchiefsmelt ofcheese. The whole at. mosphere for half a mile around was infected with cheese.
 Undoubtedly you fancy that exagecrate because you find it difficult to believe that a whole city, the metropolis of this vast Union. where crowd the mighty of the land, could all be engaged in eating cheese. Upon my word tell you not halfthe tale. Georgetown, and Alexandria too poured forth their crowds on purpose to eat cheese. The Senate of the United States-where Webster thunders- where Clay hurlS his bolts--where Preston flashes-and Benton roars, adiourned-on purpose to eat cheese!

When the Indians retired, the friend ly Indians yelled at and taunted them all they could to make them renew the attack but not a syllable or gun was heard from them. This account, as far as it goes, you may de- pend upon. had it from Capt. Piercy. In haste yours, 6Lc.
 The above intelligence is confirmed by the arrival at this place on Tuesday night last, of the steamer Cincinnati, Capt. Curry. The attack on Fort Mellon (Encampment Mon roe's at Lake Monroe,) was made, it is suppo- sed, by Philip and his gang. The battle was furiously contested. The loss on the side of the hostiles is not known.
 This action must have taken place before the information of the truce could have been received by those Indians who made the att tack. Information of it had not been then received by Col. Tanning.
 The forces at Fort Mellon returned to Vo- lusia on the 1lth. No Indians having been seen about the Fort from the 9th up to the 11th.
 It is the general opinion that the above af- fair will not break up the truce now existing, nor have any effect on the course the Indians will pursue in relation to closing the war by yielding themselves up for removal.

 Matthias, the soi-disant Prophet, has made his appearance at Staunton, Virginia. The Editor of the Staunton Spectator says, he is the fiattest and most insipid monster he has ever seen-no wild enthusiasm in his ha- rangues-nothing about him but the smooth ly combed beard of he-goat-the threat to remove which latter, by some unruiy boys, caused him, it appears, to decamp for Waynesboro' sooner than he had intended.

Late from Florida.-We received slip last night from the office ofthe Savannah Repub- lican contradcting the report that Oseola had been taken, and giving us the following au- thent c intelligence.
 The troops left Fort Armstrong on the 22d January. On the 24th they encountered a small party of Indians, and chief called Cooper and his son and another chief, Eu- chee Charley, were killed, and sixteen persons, principally negroes, women and children, wero taken prisoners. A few days after there was another affair in which some Indi- ans were killed, also, two whites and fifty prisoners taken, with one thousand head of cattle and some mules. One ofthe prisoners, Q negro, informed Gen. Jesup that the Indi- ans were anxious to come ill. In conse- quence of this information, one ofthem, ne- gro, was sent to see them.
 This resulted in the coming in of Abraham, Jumper and Alligator. They were told that the old treaty must be fulfilled. They are to meet Gen. Jesup on the 18th at Fort Dade on the big Withlacoochee, and give final answer. Until that period. Jen. Jesup has or dered all hostilities to cease.

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
ORIGIN OF METHOD1sM.

Methodism arose from the necessity of
the times. Had the regular clergy, the
bishops, and others in the establishment,
done their duty, lived and preached accord
ing to the letter and spirit of their own arti-
cles Of religion, and the pious and holy SEN
timents breathed in their formularies Of de-
votlon, there had been no necessity for the
institution of Methodism, and John Wesley
had never been known otherwise than as
faithful coadjutor among his fellow presby-
tiers of equal talents and zeal, striving with
them for the " faith of the gospel" If,
therefore, there were any thing irregular in
the proceedings Of Wesley and his associ-
ates, the fault was not in them, but in those
who, by their neglect Of their duty, made it
necessary for them to do as they did, 10
illustrated by the following anecdote Of Mr..
Charles Wesley and Archbishop Robinson,
primate OF Ireland. Being at the Hot-wells,
near Bristol, he met Mr.. c. Wesley in the
washing room. After sometime, the Arch
bishop observed, ~
"Mr. Wesley, you must be sensible that
brother; but l have not believed them.
ways surprised me-your employing lay
men,"
C. Wesley.-"Tt is your fault, my lord"
Archbishop" My fault, Mr.. Wesley 2"
c. Wesley" Yes, my lord, yours and
your brethren.'
Archbishop" How so, sir? %
G. Wesley" Why, my lord, you hold
your peace, and the stones cry out"
They took a turn in silence. His grace
however, REPLIED
Archbishop:-"But hear they are un-
learned men,"
c.. Wesley.-Very true my lord in ge-
neral they are so; so the dumb ass rebukeS
the prophet"
His grace Immediately turned the con-
versation
And we'll he might. for pertinent reply
was impossible.
1t was, therefore, the fault of the clergy
that rendered the doings of Wesley neces-
sary, and which furnishes us with an un-
answerable argument in his defence. Had
they, with the bishops at their head, as be-
fore remarked, possessed the spirit Of piety
SO plainly inculcated in their daily prayers,
and preached the doctrines of their church
in power and purity, there had been no call
for the machinery of Methodism to rouse the
the world from its spiritual lethargy.-
