A GERMAN SwISDLER. Cologne
Zsiuny has tho following account Of a
rather smart swindler:
can unparalleled swindle, lutely per
pctrated i'll provincial capital, has
caused much stir ~ gentleman stepped
into the store Of merchant, followed
by a servant. The gentleman, who wore
his right arm Ill sling, was taken for ~
military pensioner, and the merchant
gladly placed before him such articles as
he asked far. When he came 10 settle
the account, however. he found lie hnd
not sufficient money, ,o he asked the
merchant to write q note from his dicta-
ton to his wife, which he would send to
his hotel by his servant The merchant
unSuspiciously wrote as he was desired,
and OH sheet bearing the namc of the
firm, these words: Send ME immedintc-
ly, by the bearer 200 thalers. Yours,
Robert He, smiling, closed up the
note with the expression, 'Ah, then, we
arc namcsakes! The servant took the
note, and soon returned with the re.
quired sum. The gentleman paid for
his wares, gave them to his servant to
carry, and went away. Some hours after
the wife Of the merchant visited him,
and after talking Of sundry things, sud-
denly asked him why he sent for the 200
thnlers. The man was rendered speech
less with astonishmcnt when he saw what
II cheat had been played upon him. The
search after the sharper has not yet been
successful"

friend Of ours, says an exchange,
who took trip to California, said that
he was not afraid of tho Indians, be-
cause he belonged to the Benevolent
Order Of Red Men, and knew all the
passwords and winks, and the figuratiye
language and things, and no savage was
going to touch him, initiated and fixed
up in regalia as he was. He had not
gone more than hundred miles from
Omaha before band of Indians came Mt
him and scooped him up. He took the
chief aside and whispered the password
III his ear and gave him the grip twenty
six times on botE hands, and made some
observations about "fifth moons" and
''happy hunting grounds" The chief
replied IN fratcrnal manner by toma-
hawking him and jobbing his butcher
knife into his vitals. Our friend re-
marked that these ceremonies were not
observed in his lodge; but the chief
wanted to show him oil the peculiarities
of the Western system, so he scalped
him and chopped off his nose, and was
about to build bonfire on his stomach
when somo soldiers arrived and rescued
him. He is now the bald-hcadedest Red
Man this side of the Pncific Ocean, and
you never saw person so tlisgustod with
secret societies and Indian poetry. He
is going to sue his lodge for passing n
counterfeit grip on him, and for damage
done by loss of his hair.

The Queen of NAV.

1t has been the custom from time imme.
mortal to celebrate the incoming of the
month of May by certain ceremonials
among the young people, in which queen
Is elected to preside over the festivities.
1t has also grown into. custom to close
the month by crowning another queen-tbe
holy Mother, to whose honor the whole
month has been dedicated. This sweet
Mother, ever young, like the Church which
>proclaims her "blessed throughout the
world, is always ready to sympathize with
the joys and sorrows of all her children.
and enter into the spirit of their innocent
amusements, no matter how young thew
may be.
Indeed it is more fitting that the inno-
cent hands of infancy should bring to her
feet the spotless tribute of wreatbs and
bouquets, and that children should be "a.

VAL where her little ones are as important
ms her grown children. 1t is we'll TO tcocb
them FROM their earliest infancy the re1a-

many thousands of children, who filled

WHAT lNFALLIBILITY MEANS, Christ
prayed for Peter, first of all that his faith
should not fail, and charged him in refnrn
to give strength to the faith of all the rest
Thus he provided for his church. Now
TINS Is that infallibility of which we hear so
mueh- 1t is nothing but that stability in
faath which was granted by Christ to the
Once Of Peter, by which the brethren are
ever confirmed in the truth which he had
taught This does not mean that every
act or every word of Peter or of his sue
cessor is inspired by God. It only means
that IN faith, and, in faith alone. Christ
RaA ever assist him to teach it officially in
ats purity, SO that he NAV confirm the
brethren, when sthey thus receive II from
him are sure that it was fret delivered NV |
Christ. The infallibiity thus received viii |
not protect him from the frailties of hnman
nature. When he speaks as a private in
dividual his word may have weight. INT
after all he is liable to error. When he is
confirming his brethren, that is when he is
Coaching the universal church, we lose sigbt
OF the man we think only of Christ actino
through him, giving strength to that BODY
which he promised would be imprecnable
