The money market was rather more active, owing
TO the calling In of some loans by a couple OF the

Plain Words for the People. When
broken down in health. strength and spirits
it is not necessary that we should ask medi-
cal man whether an invigorant is necessary.
Common sense tells us that it is. The only
question to be decided is. what the invigorant
shall be. A standard tonic and restorative,
which has been many years before the public,
and in which millions of the intelligent
classes reposo the fullest faith, seems in a
case like this. to present the strongest claims
TO the confidence of the prudent invalid.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly said
to possess these high recommendations. It's
triumphant progress during period of twenty
years, its present popularity. and the uniform
success which attends its use in indigestion,
nervous debility, hillary complaints, fever

Talk and Inspiration.

Good talk is not a matter of will at all
it depends-you know VIC are all hall
materialists newadays-on a certain
amount of active congestion of the brain
and that comes when it is ready, and
not before. | saw man get up the
other day in pleasant company, and
talk away for about five minutes, evi-
IDENTIFY by pure effort of will. His per-
son was good, his voice was pleasant,
but anybody could see that it was all
mechanical labor; he was sparring for
wind. as the Hon. John Morrissey, M.
c., would express himself. Presently

spark has taken, and is eating into the
black tinder as a six year-old eats into a
sheet of gingerbread. Presently, after
hammering away for five minutes with
mere words, the spark of happy ex-
preston took somewhere among the
mental combustibles, and then for ten
minutes we had pretty wander
ing, scintillating play of eloquent
thought that enlivened, if it did
not kindle, all around it. If you want
the real philosophy of it, | will give it to
you. The chance thought or expression
struck the nervous center of conscious
ness as the rowel of spur stings the
flank of racer. Away through all the
telcgraphic radiations of the nervous
cords flashed the Intelligence that the

It takes all the forces of the universe to

when the orators brain is in a flame,
when the poets heart is in a tumult, it
is something mightier than he and his

A. j. Frantz, the talented editor Of

been called on to answer as to whether
he was the author of this rich piece OF

be the real author, though Mr.. Lewis

A SCENE IN ROME.
The Ceremony OF kissing st. Peters
Toe.


Sunday, March 10, was the third day
Of triduo held in the church of st.
Peters. A triduo, writes London
Times correspondent at Rome, is a
church service or act of devotion, per-
formed and continued for three consecu-
tive days. The special object Of the one
Just held, and which was celebrated by
the Association for the Promotion OF
Good Works in concert with the Vatican
Chapter, was to offer roparation for the
horrible blasphemies with which, in
these latter days, infdels have denied
the presence and the death OF ST. Peter
in Rome.
The asscmblagc might be divided into
three classes--the curious, the pious and
those who had gone there because they
had nothing better TO do, or because they
had been requested to do so by Papal
friends, or because that st. Peters was
place where they could walk about
and see people under cover on wet
day. Among the curious was consid-
cradle portion OF the foreign population
Of Rome; one heard English, American
and German spoken on all sides. If re-
sponscs and genuhections we're to be ac-
cepted as a criterion, the pious were
pretty numerous, although hardly ma
iority, at least under the dome where |
stood The service commenced with the
organ, but there was no singing. A num-
Der of gentlemen in evening dress, and
bearing candles, marched through the
crowd to the altar. They we're said to
represent the Association to Promote
Good Works. At the altar, canons of
st. Peters officiated. The responses,
reverberating in the dome, had an i'm
pressive effect In other respects the
service was simple and monotonous in
its character. 1t lasted about half an
hour.
The congregation was Of the usual
motley character, including persons of
the highest classes and great many |
who, if not actually beggars, we're dirty |
in clothes and person, and not good TO |
stand near for those who did not wish to |
take away living testimony of their pres
ence in the church. The toe of St. Pc
ter, or rather the brass shoe protecting
that part of the Apostles foot which the
pous long ago kissed away, was in great
demand. There was constant success
sion of people, before and after the SER
vice, filing past the statue and paying it
the customary homage. They first kissed
the foot and then touched it with their
and some of them kissed it
again. The majority of these toe-wor-
shippers were of the lower classes, but
men, and still more women,
also kissed and bowed and then hurried
on, doubtless much comlorted by the
tribute they had paid. In the same
quiet, orderly manner in which they had
the congregation left the church,
got into their vehicles or opened their
and made for their respective
homes. The Pope is said to have been
present on all three days, invisible, in a
private gallary behind a lattice,

they have such and such shape. Tha
relates to an organic mechanism O
which we do not know the motive pow
ers, and which remains an enigma to us
all As our eyes for a long while retain
the impression of the solar spectrum
which has dazzled them, the mind fills
with the objects which have filled the
eyes, and the fancy, while it transforms,
traces them upon | know not what black
chamber, the sanctuary of dreams. Our
brain is not, then, Photographic appa-
ratus wherein images are faithfully
Transmitted. 1t resembles rather the
atef where the facts Of life are presented
under the form Of fiction. But tits richer
and more original than all the 6ctions
of the theater. 1t is the unforeseen in
all its powers it is the impossible ac-
cepted beforehand; it is the unrestrained
festival of the imagination. The seri-
GUS and the burlesque dance together,
terror and joy succeed each other there.
Sorrow is often bitter there, our tears
flow and wet 5the pillow. But it most
frequently vanishes to give way to un-
realizable compensatiens. The friend
who has just left us suddenly returns
from an immense Journey, which has
lasted but an instant; he even, il need
be, leaves the tomb to which we have
just carried. him, to converse with US.
We ourselves easily die in dream, and
feel ourselves at once living and dead
without surprise and without anguish.
Thus, thanks to the fictious which rock
our hours of repose, we spend notable
part of our existence outside of the do
main Of reality. All the more because
It is mot necessary to sleep inl order to

which is called a soul, and which is per-

bears its name. hitherto, very vague or

barbarous treatment of the body of a

yentin tears and curses, and threats of
vengeance against the authors Of the in
dignity. Whether from shame or fear,
no exhibition was ever made Of the dis
graceful trophies. nor had he ever heard
of their existence during the almost
forty years which had since elapsed.
From our recollection of the manner
and circumstances of the narration, we
are satisfied that this is much more
correct versien than that which repre-
sents the body to have been skinned.
The incident Of I" the Indian prisoners"
is absurd, as everybody will understand
who knows what Indian fighting was in
those days, and that is probably not the
only fiction which has been interwoven
in the story as it has passed from mouth
to mouth. We think Mr.. Elkins said
that on the morning after he saw the
body it had disappeared.
