BISHOP WHrLAS's DrscouRsR.-The

BISHOP WHELAN's DIsoouRsE.-The
was filled yesterday after
noon, with the congregation and others
gathered to hear the Right Reverend
Bishop Whelan's first discourse since
his return from Rome. 1t had been
announced that the Bishop would dis
cuss the dogma Of papal infallibility,
and he did briefly allude to it, but the
hour being so late that he could not
enlarge upon it as fully as he wished,
he announced that ne would make it
the subject Of his remarks on Sunday
next. As we understood the Bishops
position he holds that when the Pope
speaks as the head, or mouth-piece Of
the Church, his utterances are infalli-
bic. He occupies the same position to
the Church in his official position, for
instance, az Chief Justice Chase and
the Supreme Court do in Iegard to the
law of the land. As an individual he
is as liable to err as any other Bishop,
but when teaching what has been or is
the teachings Of the word Of God and
the practices Of the Church from the
earliest times he cannot err. The
Church gives her utterances through
him as the supreme authority and then
only is he infallible. Our position, un-
fortunately, did not enable us to catch
all the Bishop said on the subject, but
we have given the substance OF his re-
marks on this point, as well as we
could hear them. There is a great
anxiety among the people both in and
out of the Catholic Church to fully un-
derstand this subject, and we are salts
fed that the announcement Of thor,
ough discussion Of it by the learned
and venerable prelate will attract a
large crowd on Sunday next.

Which Would You Rather Do!

JOHN ADAMS, father of John Quincy
Adams, used to say, "When was boy,
4 had to study the Latin grammar, but ii
was dull, and hated it. My father was
anxious to send me to college, and there
fore / studied the grammar till 1 could
bear 1t no longer, and, going to my
father, told him did not like study, and
asked him for other employment. It was
opposing his wishes, and he was quick in
his answer.
"'Well, john said he, if Latin gram
mar does not suit you, you may try ditch.
ing--perhaps that will. My meadow
yonder needs a ditch, and you may put
by grammar and dig
"This seemed delightful change, and
to the meadow l went, but soon found
ditching harder than Latin, and the first
forenoon was the longest ever expert
enced.
"That day ate the bread of labor, and
glad was when night came on. That
night made comparison between Latin
grammar and ditching, but said not q
word about it.
81 dug the next forenoon, and wanted
to return to Latin at dinner.time; but it
was humiliating, and could not do it.
At night, toll conquered pride, and l told
my father-one of the severest lessons of
my life-that, if he chose would 70 back
TO Latin grammar.
"He was glad of it, and if I have since
gained any distinction, it has been owing
to my days labor in that sbominable
ditch"
Daniel Webster did not like moving
any better than John Adams liked ditch
ing. His father told him to chang" his
ecythe to suit himself, and he went and
hung q on. a tree. However, both Adams
and Webster worked harder with their
brains than most boys with their muscles.

The Last Scenes In q Divorce Suit.

THE following scene at the railroad de-.
pot In that city is described by the st.
Joseph (Mo.) Herald:
A woman, with baby six months old in
her arms, alights from an omnibus in the
dusk OF a rainy evening, when up steps a
gentleman, with quiet but firm manner,
and says, "Let me take him into the car.
The mother, with a calm indifference, re.
signs the child to the gentleman, who
takes 1t into tho car of the train which is
ready to start, 1t needs no further in
formation than is afforded by the fond
caresses lavished upon the child to know
that 1t is in the arms Of its father, and the
wee sweet little thing is delighted, too,
while the mother sits aloof and gazes
coldly out of the window. Soon the bell
OF the locomotive rings, the conductors
voice is heard warning the passengers to
get on board, and the man, kissing the
baby wild kiss, places it in the lap of
its mother, whispers low "good bye" to
the woman and leaves the car. As the
train moves eft the prattling face of the
infant Is seen at the window by its father,
and its little hand is extended toward him.
He touches 1t for brief moment with the
remorseless movement of the train, which,
doing the behsst OF hateful circumstance,
tears 1t away forever. The man retires
from the notice of the crowd, his head is
bowed upon his bosom, and his great
frame is shaken with the weight OF the
greater grief. He weeps.
This scene was witnessed at the depot
last evening. It was the finale to a di,
vorce suit that was recently decided in
our Circuit Court.
