manded us to remote corner of the build

tempering the heat of the weather, we lost
some of perhaps the best morceaur. The ice
was we'll fixed up, however.
Notwithstanding the intense heat, the
audience remained densely crowded to the
end of both evening entertainments, evil
IDENTIFY enjoying themselves immensely. In
fact, the sympathy of the juniors sometimes
inclined little to boisterousness, but, at
such moments, Mr.. Jovian showed that his
powers of discipline extended beyond the
length of his arm, and included not only his
own boys, but Others He was ably seconded,
also, by one or two gentlemanly police Off

fectual. Among the clergy present were
Rev. Fathers Jere. Moynihan, Smith, Bog

sentatives of our city press and Rev. Mr..
Conway, State Superintendent of Education.

Conquered Territory.

1t will be seen from the new articles of
impeachment proposed against the Presi-
dent, that the Southern States are spoken of
as conquered territory Territory con-
quered from the Confederate States of Amer
ica." What different position Congress
takes in adopting such language, from that of
its famous resolutions that the war was not
waged for purposes of conquest. The Con-
federate States was not then recognized as a
legitimate government; now its sovereignty
is discovered, when the title to it's econ
quered territory" comes in question. 1t
was contended then, to the bitter end, that
the States were not out of the Union, and
could not possibly get out Of it; now it is
convenient to find that they are mere terri
tories, conquered territory" at that.
five had a right to go out of the Union,
Congress had no right to conquer us; and
if we had no such right, it has no shadow of
authority to put us out. The Constitution
gives the General Government no power to
punish State, much less to conquer one
and abolish its sovereignty. The only power
over State enjoyed by the Federal Gov
eminent, is to guarantee to its people re-
publican form of government, that is, gov
eminent of the majority of it's citizens. 1t
has no power to say who shall be, and who
shall no longer be its citizens.
Any pretense that the majority of those
citizens are disloyal and incapable of car
rying on republican government is an
admission that the Union was intended to
operate on State only as long as con-
stitutional majority of it's citizens should
consent thereto. Otherwise, some means
of carrying on the State government as
such, in its full integrity and independence,
ought to be devised, if SO intended by the
Constitution. This would show Mr.. Stevens
and his followers to be mere tinkerers at
the Constitution, incapable of developing
its legitimate resources, and making shift
to get along much of the time without it.

Pass CHRISTIAN CoLLEGE.-We have
been favored with an invitation to the an
nual examination of this institution, to take
place on the 2lst, 22d, 23d, and oath of this
month. The exercises will take place from
nine to twelve o'clock in the morning, and
i the evening from seven to ten. The high
reputation enjoyed by this institution of the
Christian Brothers, gives every assurance
that the displays to be expected on the ap-
preaching occasion will be of the most en-
pertaining character. Their system has
heretofore proved its efficiency so fully to
the satisfaction of parents and the public.
that their reputation is fully established.
and their exhibitions always draw crowds
of those who have no personal interest in
the students themselves.
If any one contemplates an indefinite
trip to the watering places pretty soon, he
might do well to make his arrangements so
as to visit the Pass on the occasion alluded
to-. Certainly, itiwould afford the best OPP
portunity of seeing the whole population at
one coup TUml-an entertainment much
relished by connoisseurs i'll physiognomy
The noble strains of music for which the
College band is celebrated, the congregation
of pretty faces and plain, the tiutter and
general movement of such an occasion,
would arouse emotions quite delightful to
the ennuycs of our dull streets.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Form OF CONSIDERATION OF A BISHOP OF THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, According to
the Latin Rite, with Explanations. By
Francis Patrick Kenrick, Archbishop of
Baltimore. Baltimore: John Murphy g.
Co., 1868.
This is o neat pamphlet of sixty eight
pages, containing an explanation of the
ceremonies attending the conservation of
bishop, and as it is one of the most august
services of the Church, familiarity with the
details increases the interest attendant
upon it. AS the cpiscopate is rapidly null
tiplying in this country,.a manual such as
this becomes a necessity to every Catholic
who wishes to enter into the spirit which
the Church infuses into all her usages. We
thank the publisher for q copy.
THE EMERALD.-We have before spoken
favorably of this weekly, and are pleased to
see that there is no diminution of ability in
the character of it's contents. Unlike many
papers, the most fastidious can
find nothing Objectionable in it. The matter
is sound in morals, and in literary point of
view, equal to the requirements of the day
The illustrations generally are creditable
1t should receive generous support, es-
pecially from the class for whom it is par
designed.

AT LAsT.-What merry crowds, what
smiling faces, what defiant pleasantly
against hard times and prospective showers,
were to be met yesterday on the pic mic
packet line and at the Oakland grounds +!
Something like fair weather and fair success
mt last. Our readers who could not get
away from their labors would have great
deal to regret, except that this afternoon
they will still have chance to join in the
fun, and store away pleasant memories for
future enjoyment.
Yes, after devout early mass, and fixed
attention to the sermon at high mass, and
then after taking your dinner (not too much,
because your lady friends at the booths ex-
pect little patronage from you,) just take
the little ones and their mother, and don't
forget the grandmother and the kitchen
maid, unchain the big dog, lock the gate,
and start for Henry McGuinn's, Esq, at the
Magnolia Bridge. After that the rest will
go itself, without any further trouble on
your part. (
We have only to add by way of caution
to young men that it is a sin and q shame
to be patronizing the young ladies at the
booths exclusively, when the married ladies
had the most trouble to get them up and
are generally supposed to have the most
judgment any way.

which Mr.. Dunn speaks, let them reflect if
their best chance would not be that of the

persistently refusing the boon of political

voting or sitting on jury.

Mr.. George Ellis, No. Old Levee street,
opposite the Post Office, has favored us
with Littelrs Lirimg Age, Harper's Weekly
and Bocar, Wdcerly Magazine, etc. Those
who have been wise enough to stay at home,
and thus avoid the swetering weather en-
yjoycd at the North, will find an increase of

a stock of light mental aliment at Ellis's,
whether they remain under their own vines
and fig trees i'll the city, or breathe the re-
freshing air of the watering places.

Butter in Sacks.

4 correspondent of the Rockford Reg
lister, writing from Olympia, w T., gives
THE method used on the Pacific coast for
preserving butter:
81 think the dairymen here have an
art in the management of butter that
might be turned to good account at the
East, but which | never saw practised till
[ came to this ccast. | allude to the
manner of putting up butter for market.
Perhaps necessity was the mother of this
invention, but that makes the invention
none the less valuable. Here such thing
as butter frkin or stone jar to pack
butter in, is unknown but all butter is
packed in muslin sacks, made in such
form, that the package when complete, is
4 cylinder three or four inches in diameter,
and from half . foot to q fOot 10 length
The butter co9s frcm tie churn, as soon
as worked over, into the cylindrical bags,
made CT tnc t!ecchca muslin. The pack
ages -, :hen put into large casks coutaing
strong brine Ei:h a sigh: admixture of
saIpetre, aud Ly means Of weights kept
always below the surface. The cloth in
tegument always protects the butter from
any impurities that chance to came in
contact with the package, and being al
Ways buried in brine, that protects it from
the action Of the air and it has been as
certained by trial that butter put up in
this way will keep sweet longer than in
any other way. Besides, it is found cas-
ier and cheaper for the manufacturer
than to pack either in frkins or jars
And for the retailer, there is no telling
the advantage on the score of safety and
and convenience. These rolls of butter
can lie npon his counter as safe from in,
jury, from dust or other contact, as bars
OF lead-can be rolled up for his customer
in a sheet of paper with as much proprie-
ty as bundle Of matches. If the con-
sumer, when he gets home, discovers
specks of dust upon the outside of the
sack, he can throw it into a pail Of pure
cold water and take it out out clean and
white.-As lie uses the butter from day
to day, with sharp knife he cuts it off
from the end of the roll in slices of thick
ness suit to his wants, pcels off the cloth
from the end of the slice leaving it in tidy
form to place upon the table This i'm
proved manner of packing butter first
cansht my eye in the market at San Fran
cisco, where saw cords Of it piled up
like pigs of lead The simplicity and
great value Of improvement SO impressed
me that | wondered the Yankees had not
long ago found it out

A Living Headless Child.

The Deposit On. y Courier is RESPONSE
bic for the following marvellous story In
the vicinity of Spoon river, in Illinois, is
child that was born and has lived five
years with out head. Mrs--, the
mother, is the widow of soldier, former
" living in Marshall county, who enlisted
in the Goth or Scotch Regiment, and was
killed at the battle of Devington, Mo-
She was standing beside her husband
during the engagement, when cannon
ball carried his head completely away, his
body falling into her arms, and covering
her with blood. The shock affected her
greatly. When her child was born there
was not the semblance of head about it.
The limbs are perfectly developed, the
arms long, and the shoulders, where the
head and neck should be, smoothly roun-
ded off But the most surprising thing
of all is that the face is situated in the
breast. OF course, there being no neck
the power of turning its head is wanting,
except as the whole body is moved but
this difficulty is overcome by the singular
faculty it possesses of turning its eyes in
their sockets, enabling it TO see quite as
well on either side as those more perfec-
tly formed. TIE upper portion of its
body is white as purest Caucasian, and
from the waist down is blood red. This
strange creature, nov an active boy of
FIVE years old, as if to compensate for his
deformity. possesses the most clear and
bird like tones ever listeded to, singing
with singular correctness everything it

What is Life.
BY c. STEIN.

A little crib beside the bed,
A little face above the spread,
A little frock behind the door,
A little shoe upon the floor.
II.
A little lad with dark brown hair,
A little blue-eyed face and fair;
A little lane that leads to school,
A little pencil, slate and rule
III.
a little bhthesome, winsome maid,
a little hand within his laid;
A little cottage, acres four,
\ little old-time household store.
".
A little family gathering round;
\ little turf-heaped, tear-dewed mound !;
\ Little added to his so;l
4 little rest from harvest toll.
V.
\ little knot of silver hair;
A little stool and easy chairr
a little night of Earth-lit gloom;
a little cortege to the tomb.
