straunge spernfition.

Bishop Wood, of the Roman Cathe-
lie diocese of Philadelphia, has found it
necessary to dispel the alarm created
among a large portion of his people by
a publication to the effect that there
were to be three dark days in Februa-
ry, attended with various dreadful
phenomena, such having been predict
ed by "the venerable servant of God,
Maria Taigi, who died in Rome, A. d.,
1887" The Bishops circular, denying
that any such prediction had been
made, will be found in full in another
column. 1t contains words Of good
counsel addressed to the people.
twill hlrdly be Credited that the alb
sur6 statement referred to found many
ii>>cc..ievers : among the members of the
Catholic Chursh here, especially among
the more ignorant. We have heard
that large numbers of them had made
preparations for the dread period of to-
tai darkness, in which even gas, lamps
and common candles were to be of no
avail, by procuring supplies of candles
blessed by priest, such as can always
be procured when asked for. These, it
was believed by them, would furnish
light during the three days of darkness
and terror. That such a condition of
Ignorance and superstition should exist
in an enlightened community in an en-
hghtened periol, is senough to astonish
any one of ordinary intelligence

BIoodless' Enterprirrec.. 2 :

When Maximillian II.2was Emper-
or of Germany,Itwo gentlemen, the one
aSpaniard; the other a German, ihav-
ing asked from him in marriage his
natural daughter, Helen Scarfequinn,
theEmperor told them that he held
both in equal estimation, and wished
that-they should decide the matter be-
tween themselves by trial ofstrength
and deXterity. AS a friend of both,
however, hetook the liberty to propose,
that instead of risking their lives by
duel, they should procure, suck, in
which he who contrived to put his adj
versary, should espouse the lady. The
two gentlemen, accordingly, contend
ed more than an hour before the assem-
bled court, when at length the Spaniard
fell, on which the German, Andrew
Eberhard, Baron de Talbert, placed his
rival in tho sack, took him on his
back, and deposited him, to the infinite
diversion of all the spectators, ut the.
feet of the Emperor; and the next day
married the beautiful Helen. tz,.sr

MAN Rnried Alive. ,.,

A few days ago a man residing in the
Ninth Ward named RuskOwSkYj, after
being sick with the smallpox for some
time, died, as was supposed. Accord
ing to the regulations recently passed
by the Board of Health, he was buried
shortly after his deeease. His sister,
who, it seems, was not satisfied with
the hasty manner in which her brother
was disposed of, was 50 worked up by
the circumstances, and 20 certain that
all was not right, that to satisfy herself,
she had his body exhumed some six
hours after burial. To her own joy and
to the amazement of those who had pro
nOunced the man dead, it was found
that indications of lifestill remained in
the body of the buried one. He was at
once taken back to his house, and after
considerable exertion and theapplying
OF the proper restoratives, he was vir-
tually brought to life again. He is now
living and doing well.-( Milwaukee

Something decidedly good has come
out of Kentucky and from the lips of
Senator McCreery. In a speech at a
banquet given by him to the members
of the Kentucky legislature he spoke OF
the false notion which is entertained OF
inspiration ''inspiration'' of or
atOrs especially. He is thus reported.
lie said that inspiration was sll bosh;
hard lsork does it all; and if there is
any young man who has set himself
down to wait, or any old man who has
been waiting for the last forty years,
for this thing of inspiration to come
skipping along and make him great, ]
say to him now, get up and go to work,
and work hard and long and steady,
and, by the time you are ready to step
into your grave, people will begin to
think you are genius, and commence
TO think you are one of those lucky
fellows who have been blessed by that
blessed thing called inspiration =
There's where your inspiration comes
in. That's the nearest approach to in
spiration that know, and, il you want
il, you can go home to-nig t, get sober,
and commence at day light in the
morning upon sixty years work for
it. ..,.s asi

Mis:elIaasaus.


It was while he was Judge that he
arrested the notorious de5perado. Bean,
whom nobody else could arrest. Many
of Beams descendants are still living,
and the place where old Hickory'S eyes
brought him down is still pointed out.
AS the story runs. Bean went away
and left his family tor two years. When
he returned, his wife celebrated the
event by presenting him; with new
born babe. This was a new departure
in domestic economy, and Bean did not
accept the situation with very good
grace, He demanded an explanation,
and in the absence of satisfactory one,
he sharpened his knife and deliberately
cut off both ears of the poor little baby,
pIayfully remarking, as he did so, that
he wanted to distinguish it from his
own. Some thought this was an inno-
cent proceeding, practical joke on the
baby, in fact, while others considered
it an outrage, and should be punished.
The Grand Jury took that view of the
case and indicted Bean; Bean, as usual,
brushed up his horse pistols, and said
that they might indict, but they
couldn't arrest him. The Sheriff tried
it and was vanquished. Court cameon,
the criminal docket was called, and the
clerk reported Bean ssnot taken."
"What's the matter ?' asked Judge
jackson of the Sheriff.
s'Nothing's the matter, only / can't
arrest him." replied the official.
s'Then, by the Eternal! summon the
county to help you, and bring him in
here" thundered the Judge.
The Sheriff gathered up some citizens,
and advanced on Bean. The latter
backed himself up against a house to
prevent rear attack, drew his pistols
and told them to come on. He was a
centre shot, and to have advanced
would have been certain death to some.
No one cared to sacrifice his life in Civ
| ing the others chance to make start.
The Sheriff reported to Jackson that
Bean could not be taken without sac
rifice of lives. f4 -J
"By the Eternall summon the
Court!" thundered the irate Judge,
and "the Court was summoned.
| Jackson refused arms, and advanced
empty-handed and bare-headed upon
Bean. His friends tried to restrain
him, as he valued his life, bat he
needed them not. He kept his cold
i eyes fixedly upon the desperate, walk.
ed right up to him, jerked his pistol.
away, took him by the collar, an0
marched him off tojall.
