Not Quick Enough.

An amusing incident occurred one day
last week in the morning train going west
from Richmond on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad. As the train entered the
Blue Ridge tunnel Mt Rock Bridge Gap,
one mile in length, passenger sought to
avail himself OF the three minutes friend
" darkness for the purpose Of changing
his linen. 1t so CHANGED that the clean
shirt was stitiiy starcLcd, and the surfaces
refused to part company, and as the trAin
emerged into daylight the unhappy and
unshirted man was seen lrantically en-.
dcavoring to thrust his bare arms through
the mos; refractory Of sleeves. His fel.
low passengers engaged in rather loud
smile at the expense Of the victim Of cir
cumstanccs, but before the train reached
the lunatic asylum at Stanton, some ten
miles distant, the shirt yielded TO the
spasms Of its owner, his countenance re.
sumed an expression Of mild satisfaction,
and no one suggested strait jacket.-N.
T. Post.
Many Of our West Virginia readers will
recognize this as an old story in q new
dress, the original having q local history
and the real hero being n West Virginia
Colonel high up in Official station.

IT is computed that the losses resulting
from the mere declaration Of war, assum.
ing that no engagement were to be fought,
already exceed more than SjOOOOO,0OO.
The panic prevailing in the European
financial centres has reduced hundreds Of
men from afIluenCc to perjury, and, in a
moment, swept away the hard.earned
savings OF thousands i'll the middle and
poorer classes. War is costly business

The explanation would lead too far in the
present article, We promise to watch the
developments of the question. We will re-
cur to it in time But rest assured the wise
and learned men whe govern the Roman
Catholic Church have not approached this
matter inconsiderately. They see weighty
reasons for calling the Bishops of the uni
verse together, to hear them express in Coun-
Gil the faith they have always held on this
point. Experience has over ana over again
demonstrated, that when they meet to dis
cuss questions affecting their Church, it is
only because serious motives impel to it.
