The United States Government
and the Romanista.

The powers that be, ct Washington,
have placed the Marine Hospital at De-
troll, wholly under the charge Of the SIS
tiers of Charity and IT is said that our
government, has also changed its Marine
Hospital in Cincinnati, where sick boat
men have been heretofore carefully at
tended to, from the Cincinnati Hospital
on the canal, where three and half dol
lars per head was charged--.c the Ro-
man Catholic Hospital on Broadway,
where five dollars is paid, per head.
If the Hierarchy at Rome is to be SUBJ
sidized from the National treasury, un-
der such pretexts, it is time il were known,
will some Of the Faculty speak to the
question; or perhaps the Enquirer is
posted on this score, and has word to
say. We want the truth and nothing but
the truth, so, if the report as to this city
be incorrect, we will correc. the error on
proof Times.

An amusing instance Of Hibernian
simplicity is afforded by the following
little story:
Molly, our hou,e-keeper, is model
one, who handles the broomstick like
scepter, and who has an adherence for

amounts to a passion. She is a bustling,
busy, rosy checked, bright eyed, blunder-

eg~ Governor Steven, Of Washington
territory has written letter to the Sec
re,ary OF the Interior, urging the lmpor-
taDce of holding council with the varl-
GUS tribes of Indians with whom treat
les have not yet been concluded. He
thinks that the influence Of such coun-
Gil would be to prevent the recurrence Of
hostilities between the Blackfeet, Crows,
and Assineboins thus affecting the
peace and wcli-being OF about twenty
five thousand Indians. The Blackiee,
tribe is one of the most numerous and
powerful of the nation of red men IN
our western country. From time imme-
mortal they have been at war with all
surrounding tribes. Now, however, the
white men are cncroaching upon them ;
their provisions, which they have hlther-
to derived mostly from buffalo, are tall
ing short, and, during their conferences
with Government agents, they have
evinced desire to make peace with Their
enemies and learn agriculture.

I know that she loves, for the light of her eye
Is sotten'd and pure, as a ray from the sky,
And the full speaking orbes have tel-tale fire,
As meath their deep frnges they sweetly retire.
know that she loves, for her ripe, rosy lip,
Elysian waters has not failed to sip,
And the words a they flow have hidden spell,
Which Loves cherish'd secret unseiously tell,
I know that she loves--for her fair open brow
Ia wreath'd with the blossoms of purity now,
The outgushing love-fount its deep courses bear,
Her wreath is all freshshe's been laving 1t there.
I know that she loves by the bloom on her cheek,
The rich mantling blush the story doth speak;
She need not so carefully seek to conceal
That's wreath'd in each dimple, and beams in
each smile.
know that she loves, for her voice soft and low,
Has deep thrilling cadence, hear even now,
And the echoes soft on the Silly air,
fancy is heard not or spoken elsewhere.
know that she loves by her step light and free
Keeping time with true motion to sweet melody
Some hand hath swept gently the strings of the
heart @
And It's low, thrilling music doth sweetly impart
| know that she loves with heart 10 endure,
A wealth of affection unfath omed' and pure,
Heaven grant that the sunbeams gid oil hel
young day,
And plant mid the roses no thorns in her way.

Douglas and the Know NothingG

Senator Douglas improved the Fourth
Of July in Philadelphia, by attacking the
Know Nothings. He declared tina, they
required religious tests for Office, with
ignorance and opposition 10 the cons'ltu-
ton. We quote:
There was secret organization and
he rcloiced that they called themselves
Know Nothings, for they know no. the
obligations thew owe to the constitution,
to the law, or to their fellow men,"
At this point there was considerable
disturbance in the crowd--sevenal per-
sons expressed their disapprebation OF
the speakers remarks; there. were cries
of "let him 60 on in his own way
Turn him oa,r' SC. ".
The speaker desired to say few words
to the disafTec.ed in the meeting, bur
could not engage their attention.

and no counsel presenting himself, I
thought professional courtesy, did not re-.
quire any longer delay. So I arose and
laid before the court and jury plain, un-

and was about claiming judgment for my
client, when there was sudden hustle in

shot black pipe twisted in it, aud 'twc

the side. He had short and very crook

suspended his coat and jacket; his brow.
tow trowsers were rolled nearly up to hi

gave it TO her.
Now said Mrs. Hogan. we shall

There's nothing relishes with tea like ap'
