Until, in desperation, the disguised Abner swore;
Then the calmly smiling agent would Abner bore

Three DAYS of Total Darkness.

The Philadelphia Catholic Journal,
the organ of the Roman Catholic
bishops, having republished an article
purporting to set forth the prediction
made by notable person in religion,
several years ago, to the effect that
about this time there would come, to
gether with wars and pestilence, an aw-
full calamity of three days OF darkness,
during which many persons would per.
ish, Bishop Wood issued a cir
cular rejecting the publication as
having been made without his
sanction. Respecting the prophecy it.
self, the Bishop advises the faithful to
calm their fears, and states that after
examining the life Of that holy person
to whom the prediction is ascribed as
one for whom the Church has declared
veneration, nothing has been found to
authenticate such a prophecy as has
been associated with her name. He
also reminds the faithful that they are
required to believe that which is pro
mulgated by the Church only, and chat
by obeying her precepts and avoiding
sin, they may be prepared to receive
whatever judgments God in wisdom
might impose.

4 Ticket fhat Would not Pass.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal tells this amusing incl
dent: GA well-known Doctor of Di-
vinity was riding, the other day, in the
street car III company with a friend. He
Is positive man and resents an injury
quite vehemently. Earnestly engaged
in conversation, he handed the conduc-
tor ticket as he came to collect the
fare. The conductor did not move on.
AS he remained studying the ticket,
the doctors attention was attracted to-
ward the official, who seemed to be
highly interested in the ticket. He
read it; smiled shook his head, and
finally said TO the doctor: This may
be all very we'll, but the ticket is no
good on this line whats the reason
it's no good, I should like to know?'
said the testy doctor, It's one of your
tickets, [ bought it this morning. It
guess not, said the conductor. The
alteration drew the attention of all the
passengers. This is very good advice,
bit it will not pass you over this line; >
and the conductor read: Thou shalt
not take the name of the Lord thy God
III vain An explosion followed amid
which the doctor paid his fare and left
the car. He has concluded to keep his
religious cards in one pocket and his
car tickets in another"

The Flexible Marble Slab,

The flexible marble slab is still on
exhibition at Wheeling, the number of
visitors being daily on the increase. In
order to guard against too curious
handling of the slab, Mr.. Holiday has
setlt IN casing of wood, which, how
ever, does not prevent its wavy motion
when shaken. For several weeks be-
fore it was brought to Wheeling, it was
exposed to all sorts Of weather ram,
and snow, and freezing. 1t is now
thoroughly dried, and, although 1t has
been shaken by two or three thousand
hands, and by some of them very
roughly, it has not crack or Il b-eak.
Mr.. ii. has refused an offer of $500 for
the slab; also, several tempting in
ducements to visit other cities with the
stone.
