TIE late DIR. c. was distinguished
no less for his hospitality than his wit.
One day patient, who was also perso-
nal friend, called on him in his Office,
which was in the basement of his house,
and opened his grief. The doctor asked
many questions, and finally wrote a pre-
scription, which he handed to the pa
tient, saying: "My dear sir, if you viii
take this, and be prudent in your diet,
and especially in the matter of stimulants,
you will recover. But it is my duty to
tell you that single glass of wine or
spirits may have serious consequences.
Now, let us go up and see Mrs. C"
Arrived in the parlor, the doctor walked
to the sideboard, and taking out ocean
ter and a couple of wine glasses, be said /:
"Join me in glass of wine" 'sWhy,n
exclaimed his Mortified guest, 'tyou Just

MIX. PRENTICE,s LAST.

The following in regard to the cratic
George Francis Train, is said to have been
among the last paragraphs penned by Mr..
Prentice for publication. 1t is interesting,
not only as an apt illustration of the subject,
but as being among the last productions of
the lamented journalist. Train is described
thus:
A locomotive that has run off the track,
turned upside down, and its cowcatcher
buried in a stump, and the wheels making
thousand revolutions minute-a kite in
the air, which has lost its tail-a human
novel without hero-a man who climbs a
tree for birds nest on limb, and in or
der to get it saws the limb off between
himself and the tree-a ship without a
rudder-a clock without hands-a sermon
that is all text-a pantomine of words-sR
arrow shot into the air-the apotheosis of
talk-the incarnation of CAB. Handsome,
vivacious, versatile, muscular, as neat as a
cat, clean to the marrow, judge of the
effect of clothes, frugal in food, and regular
only in habits-a MONDAY mystery-a
solved conundrum-a practical joke in
earnest-a cipher hunting figure to pass
for something; with the brains of twenty
men in his head, all pulling different ways
not bad as to heart, but a man who
has shaken hands with reverence.

alton act of 1869 for the first and second

Strong Debate ia the Eeumsnioal Council

RaME, May 8l.-The debate upon the
dogma Of infallibilitY continues violent
and energetic The opposition is desper-
atelY mMnt2ined against overwhelming
numbers; bat their objections will be
oyerruled by a decided majority when
the momenIOus occasion comes % q
vote, which probably will be about
the latter end OF July. Argu-
ments up~v and con, which are antici-
pated ,aPdl all have been made by this
time, and all things will be overruled by
a decided majority, when all things VIII
be in readiness. The debate yesterday
was of great importance. The opposi-
ton first obtained the floor, and Bishop
st. Brience and st. Gall spoke against
infallibilitv. Bishop Hefel, Of Ruther-
burg, made an energetic appeal. he de-
clarsd that three successive Ecumenlcal
Councils had mathematical Pope Honor
ons denouncing him as hereto Arch
bishop.
BY NAIL.
Upon this head we have the following,
from Bishop Quinlan, of Mobile, who bas
recently returned home from Rome. He
says, in his address to his people.
"Are there not quarreling and divisions
in the Councilf" MOI there is discussion
and dispuations; 1t was for this the Coun-
ell assembled. All cOnciliased action inn
plies both. Ia the first council OF the
cburch-that of Jerusalem-at which the
/ Apostles assembled, there was "disputing'
| Acts xv. c 7, } and ''much" Of It. Let the
critics of the Vatican Council wait awhile /;
/ they will hnd that as st. Peter stood up
at the first Council and spoke and was
obeyed. so in this last Council his sue
cessor. Plus TX, will rise and speak aud
/ be obeved with a readiness, a devOtedness,
4 unanimity unequalea in the history of
the Cbristisn world. "But are there not
strong resistance to authority, defiant
! protests and threats Of schism7 /"
Are there not venerated names OF
. American prelates among the mall
contents?n No, emphatically no. In
matters open to discussion, there
are perhaps, mild remOnstrances
and humble petitions. but no defiant pro
test or threat of schism. Among the
names that rumor puts on the list of these
| imaginary protests, are those of prelates
whom know we'll; who, for firm faith,
/ loving obedience to authority, chivalrOus
/ defense of truth and life, long, laborious
missionary work in she vineyard Of the
/ Lord, no Bishops in the Hierarchy Of this
/ Catholic Church can surpass. Let them
discuss and humbly demonstrate; they
/ are free TO do So" 10 dNbtaS tibertds-
When the discussion is closed, ana the
/ voice Of authority definitely speaks, then
/ find. if Won can, a single name OF the
/ American Episcopste signed In opposi-
/ ton. or the faintest breathing OF voice
among them to disturb the harmony Of
Catholic truth.

SshneF interviewed. .--His Views as 10 Re-
eopHitlOh of Cuban BeIligereney.

MEN YoRK. May 5E-The Herdid's
CORRESPONDENT az Washington gives
The substance of an interview with
Senator Sumner for the purpose OF
ascertaining the animus of the latter
relative TO recognition Of Cuban
belligerency. His views Of opposition
have undergone no change. On the con-
arary, be finds all manner OF plausible ar
guments 70 oppose such action. His at
tentiOn was called 10 the cases of Speak
man and Wythe, Americans, who were
murdered at Santiago last December. He
said: The circumstances surrounding
this case were peculiar. They were found
IN suspicious company, and We could not
make the same demand upon the Spanish
as If they resided in Cuba and were pur-
suing peaceable business" On attention
being directed 70 the case of Consul Phil
lips, he addueed argument to show par
allel case that occurred in the United
States during the war The offender
SE0ald have been supi ected TO imprison-
meDt, or kicked out of this country. He
doat believe that recognition has the
slightest chance IN the Senate. His OBJ
iections were based upon economical rea.
sons, and he thinks the administration
puIsues the wisest course.
