WORTH KNowNG.-In purchasing
furs a sure test of what dealers call a
"prime" far is the length and density
of the down next the skin. This can
readily be determined by blowing a
brisk current of air from the mouth
against the set of the fur" If the
fibres open readily, exposing the SKIN
to the view, reject the article; but II
the down is so dense that the breath
cannot penetrate it, or at most shows
but small portion of the skin; the ar
ticle may be accepted.

LIVE MEN AND DEAD.--PeOple who do
business advertise. In other words,
they make themselves known. Every
advertiser lives on front street; every
person doing business, that don't adver-
tise, simply vegetables on a back, mar
row, uninv.ting street. One class is
represented in the numerals as figure,
the other as a cypher. One is alive, the
other not much better than dead. One
is in sunshine, the other in shade.

TROUBLE AMONG STEAMBoATMEN.-
William H. Granger, employed on the
steamer Champion, wanted the wages
due and owing INTO himself for valua-
BILE personal services rendered to the
craft bearing the above pretentious til
tie. Applying for the same, slight
disagreement arose between himself
and Captain w. F. Fuller, commanding
the vessel, whereupon the said Captain
casually bestowed upon the unfortu-
nate Granger sundry manifesto
tions of his muscle, wherewith
the latter was physically discom-
forted and mentally aggrieved.
Appealing with all his grievances to
the majesty of the law incarnate in the
person of Justice Johnston, that official
promptly interposed and brought the
belligerent Fuller to answer for his liza
bilities to the person and purse of Mr..
Granger. After brief interchange of
views between the contending parties,
the controversy was amicably adjusted,
the charge for assault and battery being
withdrawn and Fuller paying all costs
as we'll as the amount of Changers
claim.

caught by the log, which rolled over

will generally suffice, it is said. The

The Last Day of Nay.

The Month Of Mary closed with ceremo-
MES of great beauty and interest in all our
churches. Though not personally present
at more than two Of them that day, we have
no doubt that the manifestations of devo-
ton there witnessed were universal.
At St. Peters Church, the ceremonies
were peculiarly interesting, from the promi-
nent part taken therein by the children of
the parish school. Rev. Father Cornelius
who has had his school in opera
ton but q few months, has made it COM
plete success. The children are SO numer-
GUS as to make an important and most edi-
flying element in all PROFESSIONS and other
displays connected with public worship.
The Third District. probably lost nothing
last Sunday, in comparison with its older
neighbors, in point of earnestness and at
Effectiveness in it's observance of the occa-
sion.
At St. Patrick's Church, Rev. Father
Flanagan had made every effort to honor
our Blessed Mother with the greatest eclat.
His efforts were entirely successful. The
procession, consisting of the various societies
of that parish, presented an imposing ap-
pearance in it's progress along portion Of
Camp street. The interest taken by the
large congregation present was most earnest,
however, at the moment when the young
ladies of St. Aloysius Society presented the
beautiful crowns with which the statue of
the Holy Mother and her child were to be
crowned. With this fitting tribute, followed
by the benediction, the exercises of the
month were closed.
