DIOCESE OF ST. PAUL.-Death, of Req
Thomas Murray.-With feelings If no or
binary regret we announce the death o
died at his residence in that city on Sun
day evening, the Goth January. Like most
of the priests in our western missions, hi
died young, being in his 26th year.. Forti.
fed with the sacraments of religion and
with the prayers of the multitude of his
brethren who esteemed and loved him, he
calmly breathed his last in the hope Of the
promises made to the good and faithful
servant.-North Chronicle.
DIOCESE OF RIcHMoND.-DeaM of Reu.
j. II. Plunkett.-The Rev. j. H. Plunkett,
formerly of st. Paul's, Portsmouth, Va,
died on the Sd inst, after receiving all the
consultations of the Church. The Norfolk
Nsrginian, in announcing his death, says
"a great, noble and good man has passed
away from us, and the cities of Norfolk
and Portsmouth, whose entire people, old
to sect, loved him as q father, have in his
death experienced a loss that it is impossi-
bic to measure. AS our readers are aware,
he left Portsmouth last fall to visit Europe,
in the hope that rest and change of scene
might restore the health broken down by
but on reaching Baltimore his disease as
sumed phase which necessitated the
abandonment of an ocean voyage, and he
returned home to die among his loved and
loving people. We can only say peace to his
ashes, and may the memory of his good
deeds live and flourish as the grass shall
grow upon his grave"
DIOCESE OF CHARLEsroN.-We regret to
announce the death of Very Rev. R. s.
Baker, D., pastor of st. Mary's Church,
Charleston, S. G. This good priest expired
on Sunday, the 3Oth ult., in the sixty third
year of his age. Very few in Charleston,
of whatever sect, that did not know him.
Father Baker was born in 1907, in tue
county of Kilkenny Ireland, of Protestant
parents. He came over to this country and
studied for the priesthood, under the aus
pices of Right Rev. DR.. England. He was
made assistant at the Cathedral, and after
wards the successor of the Right Rev. Dr.
Lynch, at st. Mary's ChIrch, in lS47. His
preaching was SO eloquent and effective,
that Bishop England sent him on mission
to North Carolina, and after his return, ap-
pointed him Vicar General and Administra-
tor,of the Diocese. He was also connected
with the Very Rev. DR.. Corcoran, in. the
editorial management of the once we'll
known U. S. Catholic Miscellany.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND ScHooLs-A CORE
spondent of the New York Times does not think
the Church of England schools for the common
people are of q character to impress one very
strongly with the benefits of the religious edu-
cation they give. Poor little children, he says,
are trained to answer questions in Old Testa-
ment Scripture history, and learn stories of the
Jewish Kings, which they cannot remember
long, and which would do them no good if
they did The Rev. Mr.. Best, of Leeds, gave
specimens Of the Bible biographies written by
scholars of the national schools. Here is one
about Daniel:
"Danel was put lhto the lions den and the
lions eat him up and then his father told him
to 60 and mind his sheep, and he went to mind
them on the field and While he was tending the
sheep lion and bear came out to kill the
sheep and the sheep ran away, and he turned
back and saw the lion and the bear and ran of
q running and catch them both apd then he
came back to the sheep and prayed to God to
forgive his SINS"
Nearly as graphic is the following account of
the Prophet Elijah:
"Elisher was barn in cainen and was brught
from cainen to egypt and he became king of
egypt and he went with his soulgers to conkor
another country and they came home beten and
he had great powerful country and elisher
went to speak to daniel when he was in the
lions den and elisher said to him Daniel how
camest thou hear and he said the king put me
hear and elisher was good man and he had q
good many soulgers."

The late Professor Faraday, who was of
humble origin, said that when bread was very
dear, his mother, at the beginning of the week,
gave him q loaf for himself that he might have
the management of it entirely. Heimmediate-
ly marked it out carefully into fourteen por-
tions, one of which he ate each morning and
evening, thus learning his first lesson in frugal
economy.

A Marriage in Joke turn
ing out Happily.

Thirty years ago, when Charles.
ton, Illinois, was in an embryo,
state, Dick Stoddard was caught.
mapping for the first time. Dick
was at party, country dance.
and had been playing his tricks
on the boys and girls, when it was
proposed to enliven the company.
with matrimonial scene. All.
things being ready save the bride.
and groom, tvo very essential
parts of the ceremony, they were
soon procured in the persons Of
the aforesaid Dick and the beauti-
full and accomplished Miss -
the belle of the whole country,
who, like Dick, was full Of fun,
and of a romantic disposition,-
%Hhe license was easily procured :
so was the Justice. The ceremo-
ny was performed, and the bride
and groom pronounced husband
and wife. This, Of course, was
considered the joke of the season.
Dick and lis bride enjoyed it; so.
did the spectators. The Justice,
however, who performed the cere-
mony, had the license, and knew
the penalty for failure to return
it as the law directs, and being
sworn to discharge the duties in
cumbent upon him as a Justice of
the Peace, was legally and moral
ly bound to return the license to.
the County Clerk, which he did,
and where it is to this day, with
his certificate properly endorsed
thereon to the effect that be had
"duly joined in the bonds Of holy
wedlock" the parties aforesaid
Dick and his wife soon learned
that what they had conceived to
be a joke was a sad or . joyful re-
atty. So the matter was talked
over, and they concluded to make
the most of it. They have been
living together ever since, blessed
with a bOuntiful supply Of this
worlds goods, a large family, and
a host of friends, and as Dick says
they have been enjoying the joke
ever since.

A DeSOlated City.

A recent fearful item of news
from the Russian press is The burn-
ing of the town Jeniseish, Eastern
S,beria, on the 9Th Of September -
Tle fire originated in a turf moor
which had been smoulderiDg for
some years, and during violent
storm, burst. out into S, a Of flames,
which seized the nearest house a.
bout IL o'clock in the forenoon,
thence spreading quickly over the
whole city. At s o'clock in the
evening 1900 houses, (mostly
wooden, but tbirty.ive Of great
size, six churches, two cloisters, all
the stores and an imm nse amount
Of grain (abont 100000 poupds)
were destroy ed. The fearful rapid
ity with which the .hem spread
prevented the people in nearly every
case from preserving their goods.
Over HUNDRED corpses were ionDd
eharred, 10 the streets, and rs many
more are said to have been drowned d
in The water. Many of the iubabi.
tants e d to the vessels in the har-
Dor, but these, too. we're caught up
BY the flames. The city is now des-
ulate, and its former residents are
s;rewu around in the neighboring
villages aud the various cities OF
the government.

Pardon Peddling.

"Mack," the Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati En-
qasirer, gives the following as the
reason why Congress does not re-
lieve Southern statesmen of disa-
bllltles rsfr4 s +
People must not misunderstood
the motives of Congress in refu-
sing TO grant a general amnesty
and prefrrring to pass bills every
now and then giving pardons to
specially named individuals
This course is pursued for a pur-
pose baser aud more vile than
mere politics. Not alone are they
thus enabled to drum up recruits
for the Republican party in the
South, by excluding all who lean
to the Democratic party from the
privilege of amnesty. The chief
object is to keep open the door for
corruption and bribery. A gener.
al amnesty would yield no money
individual amnesties can be,
and often are, made source of rev.
enue to the men who deal them
out.

How the Radicals Carried
MiSSiSSiDDi

Our citizens we're unutterably as.
founded at the unblushiDg corrup.
ton, intimidation and fraud exer.
cised al the polls yesterday. Every
avenue TO the poll box was com.
pleteiy covered by a crowd Of col.
Ored men, in utter disregard of the
election order of Gen. Ames. That
order distinctly declares that no vo-
ter, except 10 the act of depositing
his vote, shall stand within thirty
feet of the polls. This regulation
was whOlly ignored yesterday. But
this is a mere feather in the weight
OF atTocity perpetTated by the
Raiical leaders aud their tools.
At the courthouse, one of the
principal voting places IN the city,
the entrances to the building itself,
(not the voting room) we're guarded
by colored policemen, and while the
white radical politicians were per-
mitted to circulate freely within
the building and distribute Radi-
Cal tickets among the voters, the
National Republicans were refused
ddmittdnce by Sheriff Furiong and
bis subordinate caitiffs.
= On the Sheriff is enioined the
duty Of enforcing the election order
of Gen. Ames, but at no vOtiug
place did we find a single aohite
deputy or policeman. We have
had occasion to commend hereto
fore the good conduct of some of
our coloTed officers of the Law in
certain places and at proper times,
but that they should have been
paced in exclusive charge Of the
peace and good order at the polls at
a time like The pr. sent in au elec-
ton where both whites and backs
vote, is too aagitiOus piece of con-
duct on the part Of those whose
duty il was 10 act otherwise, to b.
easily passed over.
Al another place, one Of the
most important polls in the city
corner of Washington and Crawford
strests-the Rev. School Fund
Siringer stood unmoles.ed aoithan
sac feet of the Board of COmnaiS-
sioners themselves, taking and ex-
amiuing the ballot of every cOlored
voter, and changing the ssme. when
his sanctimonious bigbness thought
fit. Within the very door OF the
polling loom, touching the very ell
low of one Of the Commissioners,
stood another dusky leader Of the
Radicals, who a second time exam
ined the bollots of the colored vO-
ters before :hey could reach the
ballot box Ecksbatrg Times.

A Dance Of Death.
I From the Pittsburr Gazetts I

(From the Pittsburg Gazette. -
A few evenings since a ball wa,
heldinoneofthe halls OF the city, a
which large number of the young
foles were in attendance. Among
the attractions of the evening was
a prize, gold ring, offered to the
lady who would outwaltz all com.
petitors. At twelve o'clock the
band struck up III Bacchio,' and a
full dozen competitors took their
places on the floor, entering for
the contest. At the expiration Of
twenty minutes, four of the coup
les. gave way and took their seats,
leaving the rest twirling and whir-
ling in the giddy Intoxicating
dance. One hour more, there were
but three couples on the floor, and
the dance went on till after anoth-
er hour had passed, when from
sheer exhaustion another couple
gave way, leaving the floor to the
remaining two pair Of terpsichore-
an devotees, The band of music
played and played and played,
and the four fast failing dancers
danced and danced and danced,
until those who looked upon them
grew sick and dizzy. At the end
of the fourth hour the musicians
grew feeble, and from the finger
ends of the violinists the blood
triekled to tie floor, but still they
supplied the moving power to
keep the dancers agoing. The ex-
element grew intensive as the
fifth hour of the dance came on,
and there were those present who
insisted on putting an end to the
though reckless quartet
suicide. However, no interfer-
ance was permitted, and the prize
dance over the jaws of death went
on. After five hours and three
had elapsed, one of the
ladies tainted, aid her partner
quickly followed her example. and
amidst cheers, the prize was awar.
1ed the other couple who kept the
floor. Then came a summing upl
Of damages. The contesting girls
we're higher death than life, and
had to be conveyed to their homes
with their partners,
who were as badly used up-in
