D1- It doubtless influenced the ac-

whose wife, suddenly entering his pri-
yate Office, detected him laEishing the
most tender caresses upon a young
and most beautiful female.
"What are you doing, Judge?" she
very penitently inquired.
"Why-ah! bless my sOull-yesl

Mammoth Furniture wagon.

The well finished and elegant furniture
wagon of Messrs. McKoin & Co., the cele-
brated College street furniture dealers, is
the largest and most capacious vehicle of
the kind we have ever seen. Such an in
stltutlon has become imperatively necessa-
~ in their growing and immense business
In the removal and transportation of fur
nlture to various points throughout the
city. The wagon is most substantially
constructed, and neatly painted and fin
ished. 1t is sixteen feet long, and five and
half feet wide, and is perfect specimen
OF vehicular mechanism It cost over
$500, and is the workmanship of Messrs.
A. Heller & Co., of this city. We will
add that this firm is in receipt of one of
the largest, most complete and elegant
stocks of furniture ever brought to any
city in the Southwest Their stock en-
braces every variety from the most superb
to the tasteful cottage set. In fact, every
thing to please the fancy and suit the purse
can be procured at this establishment,
from baby-wagon to the costliest outfit
for the bridal chamber, and from an ordi-
nary foot-stool to the most gorgeous parlor
adornments. Such energies and liberality
as are displayed by this firm are bound to
meet with success.

A BRISK argument has sprung up over
the momentous question whether Plus
TX. is or is not the descendant of Jew
Many early Christians were themselves
Jews, and we should hardly suppose that
His Holiness would be particularly an
noyed even were it proved that he was of
the same race as the Founder of Chris
tianity. The story is that the Mastai
family, of which the Pope is member,
got their title of nobility from one Fer
retii, lady of high rank, but who mar
ried in Sinigaglia baptized Jew named
Mastai. Twenty-four years ago, it is
said, the Marquis Consolini published a
genealogical pamphlet proving this state
ment, which has never been refuted.
The pamphlet was burned, but its spirit
lived-and once more the Pope is being
called to account for circumstances which
he certainly could not control.

PHILADELPHIA.
A Terrific Hail storm.


PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-This afternoon
the most destructive hail storm ever known
here passed over the city from northwest
10 southeast. For nearly thirty minutes
there was a continuous fall of hail-stOnes
from the size of pea to six and seven
inches in circumference. The damage done
greatly exceeds that of the great storm III
September, 1868. The greatest force of
the storm was along Broad street and in
the southern section of the city. On the
south side of Chestnut street, above Eighth,
hardly pane of glass was left. On Broad
street many churches had stained glass
windows destroyed. Windows in front of
the Continental Hotel were destroyed.
Reports from the outskirts state an almost
total destruction of fruit trees which were
lust in blossom. At . O'Clock tonight the
hail still remained in the streets.
The storm did not extend across the
Delaware river to Camden, and dispatches
from the interior say no hail fell there.
Many hotels were greatly damaged, espe-
cially the Bingham House, corner OF
Eleventh and Market, the windows OF
which we're shattered in the whole front.
