ly promenaders in Broadway and Fifth Aven-
ue," says the New York Commercial Advsr-
tiser, "if they are at all observing, will see an
old man in blue blouse, and carrying dirty
bag, engaged in picking up the unsmoked
tip-ends of cigars, known among the boys as
'old socers.' We had occasion to observe the
industrious old man pickin. up these incon-
siderate trihes the other morning, and to stop
him and interrogate him him as 70 the uses to
which he put his cigar tips He srelated his
story and it ran to this effect: After morn
ing's work he takes home what he has gather
ed up, washes the tips out in large tub, and
when cleansed cuts them up and sells them to
certain cigar makers, who nse them for fill
ings' in the making of cigars. This old man
can tell the genuine Havana tobacco from the
ordinary American leaf; one is much more
valuable than the other. We have no doubt
it often occurs that smokers smoke the same
cigar twice. We are glad to see this evidence

On the subject Of religious liberty at Rome,
wish to make special point. At the meet
ing at st. Patrck's last Sunday the restora-
tlon of the temporal power was urged ON this
ground: "We demaud it in the name of re-
hSious freedom and the rights of conscience"
What, then, is religious liberty at Rome? 1t
is that no man can be a citizen or hold Office
who is not member of the Roman Catholic
Church. 1t is that 10 Protestant place OF
worshipis allowed within the city wals.-
Such worship was held there for time, under
our flag, at the house of our ambassador, but
it was driven out. Not even Sabbath school
or prayer meeting, or Bible reading circle
at private house is allowed within the walls.
what has the Pope of Rome to do with relig.
louS noerty? Has lie not cursed il in his En-
cyclcai, and banished the very shadow OF it
rom the seven hills? Or do those who ask
the restoration OF his temporal power suppose
that we nave read no history? Where was
religious liberty when those poor people were
hunted from their homes in the valley OF the
Loyse, in I4SS; where was it when more than
10000 of the Albigenses, men, women and
children, were put to death by the Pope's or
ders in the year 1909? Or where was it when
another massacre occurred at the siege of
Magdeburg, in 1851? Or where on st. Bar
tholomew's Day, or during the Irish massacre,
or at the burning OF John Huss, or at the
driving of the Madaii family into exile, or at
the stealing OF the Mortarce boy? What an
outrage is it on our intelligence and common
sense to ask the restoration of the Pope "in
the name of freedom of religion, and the
rights of consciencep-Reu. DR.. Thompson.

pretended to be in very great hurry to

he was pursued, managed to get away.

A New ORDER.-We mentioned a
few days since that a number Of artists
in the nail making business, in view OF
probable starvation il they did not 90
to work, had engaged to pile wood for
the Baltimore d Ohio railroad at dol
lar and thirty cents per day. Not being
well acquainted with the business, they
were astonished to see how few cor Is OF
wood they piled in a day, at first. This
establishment turned to wrath when they
found that Harrison had been measur-
ing their wood with pole fifteen feet
long, measuring the square Of the pole
fora cord. As soon as they found this
out they organized a secret society or
order for mutual protection. 1t is called
the Independent Order Of Frolicsome
Wood Chucks, Capt. Jinks being elect
ed Grand Chuck. We learn that they
went into the rolling" business last
week, putting Harrison through the in
itiation. They are waiting for us to 90
down and be initiated. Well let EN-
wait.
