Trim l.lings.

Flat trimmings promise TO be very fash
ionable this winter, in the shape of broad
ribbon velvet, heavy braids, cords, gimps
and bindings, but heavy corded braids
principally, in addition to black velvet,
and the golloons which are used SO much
for cloth suits.
Fringes of the same color as the m aterial,
or containing the colors of the material, are
in high vogue, and trim suit richly though
somewhat extensively.
One of the sensations consists of white
dresses, white grenadine or white mohair,
trimu ed with black velvet and black knot
ted silk fringe.
Cords, gimps, and narrow gallons striped
in the Roman colors, are used to trim gray
or back alpaca dresses with very good ef-
feet and Roman striped silk or satin is
also largely used, cut into narrow bias
folds, which alternate with others of the
material, or are employed as headings to a
fringe trimming.
These goods, striped on black or some
more striking color, are also cut into reuers,
sailor collars, and the broad mousquetaire
cuffs now worn, and form a most effective
gnith to plain bouse dresses of merino, en-
p.ess cloth or cashmere.

Anonymous Communications.

We have received two communications
this week, one without name, and the
other signed CATHOLIC, both of which we
consider Objectionable, not being accom-
panied by the name of the writer. The
first processes to be written by stranger,
in relation to sermon preached last
Sunday at the Congregational Church;
and the second is in reply to an article of
ours on the Catholic Schools. Both are
on religious subjects, and neither accom-
panied by responsible name. We can
not admit that an anonymous writer has
right to speak for any one religious de-
nomination and against another Nor
can we admit that the writer signing the
name " CATHOLIC" has right to speak
for the Catholic denomination. Conse-
quently we decline to admit either ar
ticle till it is signed by the name of some
responsible person. We consider it al
ways best for the name of the writer of
an article to be published with the article
itself, but whether published or not, the
name of the writer must be furnished US,
with the article which we publish.

Death from Heart Disease.
From the N. Y Express.

s
The frequency of sudden death is be-
ginning to be both alarming and aston
ishing. It is attributed to heart disease,
which may be true enough, since in any
case of death the hearts cessation of the
performance of it's functions is necessa-
~ accompaniment. There are any guam
tity of diseases of the heart classified
hypertrophy, or enlargement, ossifcation
or conversion to a bony substance, fatty
degeneration, atrophy, or wasting and
shriveling, a number of specific derange-
ments of the valves and auricles, etc.
Our ancestors knew, we suppose, these
diseases; but they were very seldom
afflicted by them 1t is only of late wears
that sudden death by disorganized con-
ditions of the heart, or complications of
the arterial functions, has become so COM
mon as to bel regarded in the same light
as any other every day occurrence. 1t

Death of Edwin M. Stanton.
Ex.seeretarv Of War. Associate Justice,


Ex-Secretary of War, Associate Justice
E. NJ. Stanton, died last Friday morning
at three o'clock, of congestion qf the
heart. He had been confined to hisihouse
most of the time for about a week. The
President and Vice President called up
on him the previous Sunday, his fifty
fourth birthday, and the President ten ten
dered to him his appointment as Assooli
ate Justice of the Supreme Cou1t, for
which Mr.. Stanton expressed his graft
tude and acceptance. The day before his
death Mr.. Stanton complained ofTsick1
ness, but his family did not feel alarmed
about him, as they had seen dhim appar-
emily in worse condition. Shortly after
midnight his symptoms became alarming.
Surgeon General Barnes was present, and
Rev. DR.. Starkie was summoned, but Mr.
Stanton soon became unconscious and ex-
pired without apparent suffering
AS a mark of respect to the memory of
Mr.. Stanton the President ordered the
Executive mansion and the several de-
partments at Washington to be drapsd2 in
mourning, and that all business be,sus-
pended on thy day of the funeral -
All the departments, the Supreme
Court, and both Houses of Congress, paid
due respect to his memory. The funeral
was held at Mr.. Stanton's residence at
noon on the 9th. Mrs Stanton's health
not permitting her to attend the funeral
at the Capitol or at the Church of the
Epiphany, and she preferred that the
funeral should be strictly private. )
Mr.. Stanton's last visit to the Executive
mansion was on Wednesday when he cal
led to thank the President for his ap-
pointment as Associate Justice
Mr.. Cameron acted wisely when he re-
signed the office of Secretary of War and
recommended the appointment of Mr..
Stanton The life of the nation to be
saved by conquering the rebellion, Stan
ton was the right man in the rightplace.
He was the one man among the millions
who could SO discharge the duties of the
office of Secretary of War that the Army
Officers, even though unfriendly to him,
could never say that their acquisitions
had not always been supplied. And to
him, more perhaps, than any other man,
the nation owes it's life, and the friends
of the country their everlasting graft
tude. He has gone and his works do fol-
low him. And they remain behind him
too, and constitute an important part of
the. history of his country. And when
the history of the country comes to be
truthfully and impartially written, Ed
win M. Stanton will hold a conspicuous
place, second perhaps to none of his COM
patriots. s.4-Ge...s ~avs

Vacation OF the Public Schools.

The Public Schools for, the Fall Term
were brought to close on Friday of last
week. We could not be present only a
part of the afternoon. We first visited
the Grammar School and were much pleas
ed with an elocutional performance in
the style of dialogue by several young
ladies. Our only regret was that we could
not remain till the close of the School
without losing the opportunity of visiting
the High School. before its close, as that
School, like time and tide, waits for no
one. sFa es f -
When, we arrived at the High School
we found that the exercises were rapidly
approaching their close We were in sea-
son however to hear number of decla-
nations and compositions, which, in gen
eral, were well delivered, well spoken and
well read. And we may say too, of those
which were, original, that they were well
written. The general appearance Of the
School was very creditable An atmos-
phere, an aura,a spirit seemed to pervade
the whole School, which spoke highly In,
it's praise. s.8t 49, 1880. as,t..
At the close of the School exercises the.
Principal called upon some gentlemen
for remarks. First in order came Judge
Jilsun, recently appointed City Superin-
tendent Of Schools, who, among other
things said that since his appointment he
had visited nearly or quite all the Public
Schools, and had found them all doing
well, never better, with one exception.
The one exception was the number of
Scholars being deficient in nearly or quite
all the Schools. This deficiency he said
could not be owing to there being less
number for drawing School money than
heretofore, for there was never larger
number than now He then referred to
the Catholic Schools, and said there must
be some cause why SO many should join
in withdrawing their children from the
3 Il u 81 j
Public Schools and Establishing Schools of
their own, and raised the question wheth-
er it would not be we'll to reexamine the
matter to which the Catholics objected.
and, by making concessions, induce them
to return to the Public Schools. He also
said that he wanted the Catholic children
to be educated in the Public Schools
along with the other children of the city,
and all at the Public expense. He thought
it would be best for all to be educated to-
gether and at the same schools.
Brief remarks were also made by Revs
Messrs. Taylor and Gridley and Mess1s.
Graham and Mckinley Mr.. Taylor
thought Public Examinations were not
the best times to judge of the discipline
and proficiency of the Schools. Mr. Grid
ley suggested that there were children
enough in the streets who were not attend
ing any Schools, to fill all the Public
Schools and that there should be COM
pulsory law requiring their attendance.
Mr.. Graham doubted the people of this
country, at the present time, being far
enough advanced to sustain compulsory
law Rev. Mr.. England was called for but
had just left the room. 49,,
The vacation closes with the Holidays
and the Schools recommence next Mon
day.

The school Bible Question.

The development of this question on
the Catholic side of the House continues
to point to concerted movement against
the common schools of this country. The
Freena0q'S Journal, in the course of long
editorial, says: Let the public schools go
toswhere they came from-the devil. .
4 Mr. O'Brien, in giving the views of his
Catholic brethren and their organ. the
Toilet, says that Catholic education, such
asst is resolved to have, cannot be car
ried on in mixed schools, and he adds
tsWe don't want to mix with Protestants
and ] ews and Infidels in school matters,
because we want our children to grow up
in the holy Roman faith, like their fathers,
and not imbibe the loose and irreligious
independence of the age."- Chicago Post.

to be sure, there are great many going

AGHAsTLY LAW SUIT A curious insurance
case has been tried in San Francisco. The
North American Lite Insurance Company de-
cliues to pay the apount of policy due the
widow of Charles Geggus. 1t appeared by the
evidence that Geggus left San Francisco upon
the 22d Of August, 1868, in a state OF mental
and bodily prostration bordering upon, 1t not
actually within the region OF, absolute insanity
On the Sd of September following his remains,
in an advanced stage of decomposition, were
found in the mountains OF San Joaquin county
The policy of Insurance expired on the 9th OF
August, l96S-just one week before his remains
were found. Hence arose the defence, the
company DENYING that when found he had been
dead seven days, and upon that point they
went to trial For the plaintiff certificate was
produced signed by justice Of the peace, de
caring that he had held an Investigation touch
ing the death of Charles Geggus, upon the &C.
clsiOn of his remains being discovered on the
81 OF September, 1868. and that he found that
the said Charles Geggus died from exhaustion
and exposure, and had been dead a: least ten
days when found. Six doctors testified that
from the condition of GcPgus when last seen
august 23)-he not having then eaten any
thing for over two days-he must have died
within period ranging from twelve 20 forty.
eight hours thereafter, thus fixing his death at
q time at least two days PRIOR TO the expiring
Of the policy. Upon this evidence the plain
uff's case rested. Ia answer, the company
sought to show that the body had not been
dead a week when found, and for this purpose
called FIVE doctors as medical experts. Two
them testified that having heard a description
Of the state Geggus was in when last seen they
agreed that he must have died within the
period mentioned by the plaintiff. The three
