A PATIENT HUSBAND.


The Detroit Free Press relates a
clever incident which occurred on the
return of an excursion party. Soon
after the boat left Toledo the steward
was approached by an excited individ-
ual who asked him he was the cap
tain. The steward replied in the
negative; at the same time giving his
rank. "Have you the power to put
man out of the cahin?" inquired
the stranger. "Well, yes. if he's dis
orderly I have" replied the steward.
:" Well, slr, look in here, and see there,
will you," said the stranger, leading
the official around to the door. The
steward looked in upon the motley
group, and replied that he saw moth
ing out of the way. z. You don't, eh
Don't you see man sitting there en-
bracing q woman?" "Well, yes,"
replied the steward, "but what of
that? Hasn't a fellow right to en-
brace his wife?" 'sThat's just what
I want you to run him out for,' re-
piled the stranger, dancing around;
I" that's my wife, and I've stood it so
long that I've got mad Y

Perilous Winter Voyage on
Lake Erie.

A week ago Saturday, four Indians who
belong in Canada and follow trapping for
livelihood, left Point-au- Pelee Island in q
skiff, for the main land of Canada. When
within about a mile of that shore, and
while working their way through thin ice,
the wind blew gale from the northwest,
drifting them away from the land, and out
into the lake. 1t will be remembered
that the Saturday referred to, and the Sun
day and Monday following, were the cold
est days Of the winter In their open
boat, with only their ordinary clothing.
and without mouthful to ea;, the four
Indians were drifted about in the lcke un-
til the following Tuesday afternoon, when
they managed to land near Brownhelm,
Lorain county. On Monday night the
thermometer was four degrees below zero.
When it is recollected that they were out
three days and three nights in such wealth
er without food, their wonderful endur.
ance will be apparent. They came back
to this city on the cars, bringing their
boat with them. The only injury receiv-
ed in their perilous voyage was that one
of hem had been slightly frozen but they
were all able-bodied enough to strike out
over the ice and try it again, leaving here
ON Friday last They were seen on tho
same day passing Kelley's Island, heading
for the Canada shore, travelling in Indian
file, hauling their boat, and going on
steady trot until they were out of sight.
We did not learn what lodge of the or
der ofred men they belong to, but, ifthere
is such tribe, think it must have been

It will be remembered that among the
propositions submitted to the Council by
the preliminary commissions was series
of dogmatic formulas. The first twenty
one of these are issued, and have now
reached us. The Cioilta Cattolica the
special organ of the Pope, has lately pub
lishec series of articles which are now
considered as having been obviously in
tended to prepare the Catholic world for
the appearance of these canons, of which
the followin is translation:
THE CHURCH OF CHRIST.
CNAoN |. Whosoever says that the re-
ligion of Christ is not existing and ex-
pressed in any community established by
Christ Himself, but that it can be rightly
held and exercised by each individual
for himself and without regard to any
community which constitutes the Church
of Christ, let him be anathema.
CANON Ii whatsoever says the Church
has not received from Christ any positive
and Interchangeable organization, but that
it is, just like any other human commu-
nifty, mutable and transformable according
to the changes of the times, let him be
anathema.
CANON Ill. Whosocver says the Church
OF Divine Promises is not ar external and
visible community, but purely internal
and invisible one, let him be apathema.
CANON w. Whosoever says that the
true Church is not body in itself, but
consists of different and dispersed de-
nominations, and is diffused throughout
them all; or that the different communi-
ties opposed to each other in their pro-
LESSONS of faith, and divided in their
spirit, equally form members or parts of
the one common Church of Christ, let
him be anathema.
CANON V. Whosoever says the Church
of Christ is not an institution absolutely
necessary for reaching eternal happiness,
or that man can arrive at this blessing
through the exercise of any other kind
of religion, let him be ana.hema.
CANON vi. Whosoever saws that the
with which the Catholic Church
proscribes and condemns all religious
sects separated fiom Its communion, is
not prescribed by divine right; or that
about religious truths only opinions, not
can exist, and that therefore
all religious sects are to be tolerated. let
him be anathema.
CANON VII. Whosoever says that this
very Church of Christ can fail into dark. |
ness or error, and SO deviate from the
holy truth in faith and morals and fall |
away from its original institutions into
and corruption, let him be an
athena.

The Bible in Schools.

There is going on now, in New York,
Cincinnati and other places, excited con-
tests over the question of allowing the
reading of the Bible, and the proprietY
OF other religious exercises in schools.
Upon this question we copy what the N.
I. Independent says. 1t was writttn IN
respect to the controversy going on about
the Cornell University in New York,
which is professedly unsectarian, vet has
the Bible read and prayers every morn
ing:
Cornell University has no right 90 be,
in any just sense" q religious institution"
1t has no right to teach the scheme of
theology. 1t has no right to incline it.
self one whit more TO Christianity than
to Judaism. 1t has no right to be part
lcle more Protestant than Catholic. It
has no right to lend it's influence either
for or against the religious views of any
one of the students. 1t has no right to
impart to its administration any greater
theological impulse than Mr. Boutwell,
gives to the United States Treasury, or
Prof. Henry to the Smithsonian Institute.
Aud we have no hesitation in saying
that, if the daily exercises at Cornell
University are opened with reading the
Bible, these readings ought to come I'M
der sentence of the same wise and Just
punishment which must sooner or later
be passed on all similar exercises in our
public schools. Cornell University is
public school. The Presbyterian the Jew,
the Romanist. the Contucian, all have an
equal right to attend every public school
in the Empire State and they all have
similar right to attend the public univer-
sity at Ithaca. Precisely the same argu-
ment can justly be made for opening the
exercises both of these schools and of this
university, with the Koran, with the Con-
fuci~n Maxims, or with the Douay ver-
sion, as with King James Scriptures. It
is high time that more sensible notion
of religious federation should be practiced
by the off 'ers of our public Institutions
To begin the day, either III school or in
college, by administering public shock
to the religious faith of portion of the
teachers or scholars is an outrage that

petual separation of Church and State.

Prov. AGAssIz.-In his lecture upon
the origin of species at the Lowell Insti-
tute, Boston, Prof Wilder defended Prof
Agassiz from the charge Of atheism, and
said that some of his scientific colleagues
have even looked upon him as "bigot, y
because of his constant efforts to show
that Nature is the work of an intelligent
God. Prof. Wilder further said : I'VE,
who know him best, who love and honor
and trust him tor what he has done in
science, for humanity anu for ourselves,
are ashamed of our fellow men, and are
inclined to question the benefits of any
theology which leads them to cast slur
upon the religious convictions of one
whose daily life is blessing to all about
him, and who within the past two months
has been brought nigh to deaths door,
with no other fear in his mind but that
he might not live to finish the work he has
begun

The strictness of English game laws
and their enforcement is illustrated by
the fact that young man is now lying
in Exeter Jail on three-months' sentence
for having five years ago shot pheasant,
either on his fathers farm or on the
neighboring turnpike. Immediately
after ne committed this fearful deed of
blood, dreading the majesty of the law,
he fed from home, and did not dare re.
turn. But his elder brother died, and
his parents longed for him. and 80, after
they had held some consultation with
the authorities, and obtained half
promise that their son should be exempt
ed from arrest, he returned, three years
and half after his fight from home. A
year and half he was unmolested, but
at the end of that time he was seized,
tried, and sent to prison as felon, for
the awful crime of interfering with "gen-
sport, by shooting bird, five
years ago.

Hiram Powers and the Frank
lin Statue.

The controversy between Hiram Pow
ers and some Southern papers concern
ing statue of Franklin, which the sculp-
tor was once partially engaged to make
for the city of New Orleans, seems likely to
be at length terminated. The plan Of or
dering the statue was conceived in 1874
by some friends of the sculptor who
wished to assist him in this delicate way.
Five thousand dollars, the price agreed
upon, was to be raised for him by sub.
scription. The plan, however, miscarried ];
only portion of the money was raised,
and the statue was never made. The
money was paid over as fast as subscribed
and when Mr.. Powers found that the
subscription would never be completed,
he wrote to the subscribers offering to re-
turn the money. They unanimously re-
fused to accept it. Since then, some
Southern newspapers, headed by the New
Orleans Times, have periodically agitated
the subject of "the statue Mr.. Powers
swlndled the city out Of" The Times
lately, after series of articles on the
subject, proposed, on its own responsible
ity, to pay the amount needed to make up
the $5.000-$200O in gold-and demand
ed that the statue be at once furnished.
Mr.. Powers has written to the editor of
the times accepting the proposal, and the
original model is at once to be wrought
in marble. The letter ends as follows:
THUS tar you will perceive, sir, that
have used respectful terms; for to the
representative of the surviving subscrib-
ers to the Franklin Statue Fund gratitude
to them binds me to strict courtesy, even
If 1 felt inclined to use other language,
but, perhaps, | may venture to suggest
hat you should review this case, re-ex-
anime all that have said and done, and
compare your own conduct with that of
your obedient servant,

When Mary was a Lassie.

The maple trees are tinged with red,
The birch with golden yellow;
And high above the orchard y all,
Hang apples, rich and mellow;
And that's the way. through yonder lane
That looks so Ftill and grassy,
The way took one Sunday eve,
When Mary was lassie.
You'd hardly think that patient face,
That looks go thin and faded,
Was once the very sweetest one
That ever bonnet shaded;
But when | went through yonder lane,
That looks so still and grassy,
Those eyes were bright, those cheeks were fair
When Mary was lassie.
But many tender SORROW,
And many patient care,
Have made those burrows on the face
That used to be so fair
Four times to yonder churchyard
Through lane 80 still and grassy.
We've borne and laid away our dead,
Since Mary was laseie.
And go you see I've grown to love
The wrinkles more than roses;
Esrth's winter flowers are sweeter far
than ell epring's dewy posiss;
They'll carry rs through yondeY lane
That looks so still and grassy,
Adown the lane used to 60

turned out of Office and honest men put

economical government, the appropria-
lions have been largely cut down, bur

Railroad, was one, separated, each going
his own way to seek his fortune. On a

Tor the first time since parting in Indian
