Conservatism Of the Catholics.

The Richmond Times says that "the recent con-
servatism of the Catholic Irish, and the warm
sympathy manifested for the South by the Pope
have largely increased the popularity of the
Catholics with the Southern people.
The conservative character of the Catholic
Church stands in grand and striking contrast
with some of the pscude-relgious denominations
of the North. Catholicism is not what it used to
be. tits 40 longer politically aggressive and in
tolerant. 1t no longer sows the seeds of fierce
dissention5, nor is its career now marked any
where by bloody persecution and relentless ha te.
Proft,ng by the wisdom and experience Of its
past history, the Church of Rome, even where it
enjoys supremacy as the established religion, no
longer seems to desire the union Of Church and
State. We accord to it but the m eed of justice
when we say that its influence in this country
has been to pour oil on the troubled waters Of
civil and political strife. Its ministers have
never forgotten from their pulYits their high and
holy Office, nor have they kindled in the house OF
God those fres Of sectional hate which swept the
land with fratricidal war. They do not now stir
up tho ursubsided passions Of men and hound
them on TO new deeds Of iHhnntnnity. Adysrsi-
ty reforms and pnriies churches as well az 1acn,
and the Catholic church may have been induced
to follow the virtues which now characterizs it,
BY its knowledge of the penalty which, in lis
own case, followed swiftly and remorselessly the
departure from the path of reetitude." ''. "

A Noblc Boy.

The following incident, in the fatal collision
of the Eiagra with the Postbov, on the Mississip-
pi, was related to me by an eyewitness:
The two steamers struck, and the Niagara inn
media;ely carecncd and began to sink. The
widest CONSERVATION was at once universal La
dies rushed to-and-fro with piercing screams im-
ploring the men to help them. But no mean ms
seemed at haad, and each sought his individual
rescue. .f-s 4 - ,.-t
At this fearful moment negro boy-one o.
the crew-was seen quietly lashing a long and
stout rope around his body, at the other end ty-
ing stick of wood in its centre.
Instantly, with the apparatus, he threw him
self into the river. Turning upon his back, the
stick drifted TO the rope end; and calling upon
two ladies who stood on the edge of the boat
one with child in her arms--hc urged them to
spring, and catch either end of the stick. Hor-
row stricken, they hesitated. The negro lay
calmly on the waves and, in tones of confidence
told them it was their only hope, insisting that
he would carry them safely to the shore. aFor
another instant they hesitated but gathering
courage from his sef-possession, and realizing it
was their last moment, they took the leap, and
both succeeded in grasping the stick Turning
quickly, to prevent their seizing him, the heroic
fellow struck out, with strong muscles, for the
land. p. The rapid current was well nigh resist
less: but he wrestelcd manfuly with his burden.
The energy of despair kept them to their hold,
and at length their feet touched bottom. Both
ladies with the cliuging little one, were saved.
Many witnessed this feat. 1t exhibited not on
ly cool, unparalleled bravery, but was wholly
disntcrested, as both ladies were strangers. II
should be added, that the boy left his own trunk
with his best clothing, and three hundred dol
lars in money, to sink with the wreck. ''

Kit Karson.

KitCarson, the oracle of the Western plain.
and mountains has lately been visited by cor.
respondent of the CINCINNATI Commercial to
whom he communicated the following interest
ing reminisce n cu:
All the Indian, hunters and trappers ride with
short stirrups. am almost bow-legged from it
1t is more important.to the Indian than to the
white man, as it is only by aid of the stirrup he
can shift his position, hanging down on one side
so as to conceal all his body but his leg, Hi:
leg is all you have to FIRE at, as.he throws him
self on the side buttocks, or around the neck ol
tho horse. On this account, also, they hang The
stirrups well forward.
Some one referee to Carson intimate knowl
edge of Ind ian strategy. "Why, yes am UP
to good many of their tricks, but they fooled
me once-they fooled me pretty bad that time
I'll tell you about it. 1t was Inlet me sec
yes, 1885. There were six of US hunters out af
ter Buffalo, up in the Snake country. We had
made pretty good hunt and came into camp al
night, intending to start in the morning with
our hunt. Well, we camped. Had good many
dogs with us, some of them good dogs. They
barked good deal, and W. heard wolves. Asl
lay by the fire, saw one or two big wolves
sneaking about camp-one Of Them quite in it,
Gordon wanted to fire, but I would not let him,
for fer of hitting some Of the dogs.
81 had just little suspicion that the wolves
might be Indians, but when saw them turn
short round, and heard the snap of their teeth
when the dogs came too close to one Of them,
felt easy then, and made sure it was a wolf Th'
Indian fooled me that time. Confound the ras-
cal''-becoming animated-"confound the ras-
cal, do you think he didn't have two old buffalo
bones in his hand that he cracked together every
time he turned to snap at the dogs? WE'LL by and
by we dozed off asleep and it wasn't long be.
fsre was awoke by a crash and a blaze,
jumped strait for the mules, and held 'em. II
the Indians ,had.been smart they'd had US all, bu
they run as soon as they fred. They killed but
one of us--poor Davis. He had five bullets in
his body and eight in his buffalo robe. The In
dians were a band of Sioux, on the war path af
ter the snakes and cameson us by accident. They
tried to waylay us the next morning, but We kill
ed three of them, including their chief.
"When first went ever into California in
1929, the valleys were full of Indian tribes. In
dians were thick every where, and saw great
deal of some large and fourshing tribes. Wher
was there again in 1912, they bad all disap-
peared and when inquired about certain tribes
IIhad seen on the spot, was told by people living
there that they had never heard Of them"

Placing a Daughter at School.
BIT NoTTK BALL.

r III have brought my daughter to you to /
taught everything"
Dear. madam, I've called for the purpose,
0fplacing my daughter at school; .. -..
She's only thirteen: / assure you, ,.....
And remarkably easy to rule.
ia have her learn painting and music,
Gymnastics and dancing, pray do; ~.
Philosophy, Grammar and logic, ......t ;
You'll teach her to read, Of course, too,
I wish her to learn every study,
Mathematics are down in my plan;
But Of figures she scarce has an :nkling;
Pray instruct her in those if you can. ..
I'd have her taught Spanish and Latin,
Including the language of France '..
Never mind her very bad English, ea
Teach her THAT when you have good chance.
On the harp she must be proficient, .....
And play the guitar pretty 5000,
And sing the last opera music, '
Even though she can't turn right tune.
You must see that her manners are finished,
That she moves with a Hebe-like grace;
For though she is lame and one sided,
That's nothing to do With the case.
Now to you resign this young jewel,
GsAnd my words l would have you obey;
In six months you return her, dear madam,
Shining bright as an unclouded day,
She's no aptness grant you for learning,
And her memory oft seems to halt;
But remember If shes s not accomplished,
1t will certainly all be your fault.

A Hunt After a 100000 Package of
-4sr. United States b onds.

The Hartford sTimer'r tells curious story
about package some SIPS, 900 in Government
bonds, which may be worth relating. As We
understand it, the bonds were the property of
large wool house ia this city, and the package
had been taken by one Of the partners for safe
keeping. It was afterwards decidedito send the
package to a branch establishment of the house
located 10 one of the Western cities; and q son Of
one ofthe partners was dsputed to get the bonds
and take them West. He procured the package
at the house where it had been left, on-streei.
1T was in tin box or case. He wrapped it in a
paper put it in his carpet bag, and started for the
business house OF the firm in another part of the
city.
passing through Asylum street he stopped
at Casper Krentzer's bootiand shse shop, to pro-
cure something in his line, and in making room
for it in his carpet bag, he took out the tin box
wrapped 10 paper and laid it for moment on the
counter. On adjusting his carpet bag he forgot
to put in the bonds and left the package on the
counter. Nor did he discover the loss on going
to the firms house of business, but after arrang.
ing his affairs, went of in the cars with his car
pet bag. ...y 81. ..,......s.l t..tr
Abont month afterhis arrival at the West the
6rm here sent him certain directions in regard to
a sale of portion Of the bonds. He not finding
the package, and thinking he must have left it
in the safe at homs telegraphed back that he had
no bonds. The firm Then telegraphed to him to
return home Immediately, for the bonds were
missing. 1t was his belief and theirs too, thst
he had put the bonds into the safe, aud that
somebody had obtained access to it, in an ungar-
dcd moment, during business b ours and made
off with the tin box. In the midst of this troub-
led doubt, he suddenly started up with the ex-
clamation that he must have left the package in
Krentzer's boot store; and of he went to find
it. ... #i ..' -
Entering tho shop he said, to the proprietor;
Krcntzer, I'll take that parcel left here some
time ago. The bootmsker returned, and rcach-
ing up to the show case where he kept boots on
exhibition in the shop, produced the package. 1t
had never been opened. 1t had lain for fort
night on a shelfor counter where they were ac-
customed to unroll and cut leather, aud where
the proprietor had placed it, under the impress
sion that it would soon be called for. Finally,
seeing that it was uncallcd for, he unrolled the
paper, and seeing tin box, put it without OPEN
ing it, in the show case, for safe keeping. And
thus the $l2O, 900 in Government bonds, after
being lost for six weeks, were all recovered
This case shows that people are sometimes care
less in large matters as well as in small oncs .

WHO Is KING,
BY J. Z. MAYNARD.

H. BY J. =. MAYNARD.
There Is o host ofmen who boast
Ofpowder, cotton, steam,
But every hour the mighty power
'0f "Printer's lax" is seenl
It moves the world as easily, r.r
60 And men proclaim in despots ears
That "PRNTIxa Ink" is King.
The man of gold, of wealth untold,
PRISTBR's ISK may scorn;
Nor knit his brow, oor deign to bow,
To one so lowly born.
But Printers ink has built its throne
Where mind its tributes bring;
And Gods most gifted ntellects
Shout; PRNrER's INK Is K ing.
King of the world, of thought refined,
No abject slave it claims;
Where superstition's victims pined,
IL burst their servile chains .
In every CLINE, in coming years,
Will men proud anthems sing,
And round the world the echoes float,
That PRINTER's INK is King.
