His tomb, the President of those Uni

Words fail us in expressing detesta-
ton for a deed so Observation-Disclosures
happily, unparalleled in our history
Silence is, perhaps, the best and most
appropriate expression for a sorrow toe
great for utterance.
We are quite sure that we need not
remind our Catholic brethren in this
Archdiocese of the duty--which We
are confident they will willingly per-
form-of uniting with their fellow
citizens in whatever may be deemed
most suitable for Indicating their hor-
ror Of the crime, and their feelings Of
sympathy for the bereaved. We also
invite them to join together in humble
and earnest supphcation to God for
our beloved but afflicted country and
we enjoin that the bells of all our
church~s be solemnly tolled on the
occasion Of the Presidents funeral

ST. VALENTINES DAY.-Next Tues
day, nth instant, will be st Valen-
tines day. Some people believe St
Valentine wasa myth Of the same cat
egory as Santa Claus, but he had a
history, and it is briefly this: Accor-
ding to some ecclesiastical writers he
was bishop, by others presbyter
who was beheaded at Rome in the
reign of the Emperor Claudus, A. D.
270. Wheatleigh says that st. Val
entine "was man of most admirable
parts, and SO famous for his love and
charity that the custom Of choosing
Valentines upon his festival took its
rise from thence Others derived
the custom from birds, supposed to
select their mates on the l4th Of Feb
ruary others, again, from a practice
prevalent in ancient Rome at the fes,
tival of the Lupercalis, held during
the month of February, when, among
the ceremonies, the names. at young
women were placed in a box, from
which they We're taken by young mer
according as chance directed. There
are frequent references to st. Valen
tines day in Shakespeare. In this
country the day is observed only by
sending ornamental, illustrative OF
comic missives to friends and foe
alike. The comic kind are frequently
sent with view to eXasperate OIL
wound the feelings Of enemies. 1t Is
a custom to be reprehended, ant
should not be practised.

IMPROVED SOAR BuBBIEs.-We find
in an exchange paragraph which tea
chcs the art IF tl"wing soap bubbles
that will show the changing col rs of the
rainbow. and may be "f special interest
to some Of our juvenile readers. The
directions are as follows:
Take three.quarters of pint Of water
that has been boiled and become cold,
and put into it quarter of IN ounce of
CASTLE soap, cut up fine. Put this into
pint bottle, and set it in a saucepan on
the fire; there let it remuiu an hour or
so, now then giving it good shaking,
till the soap is dissolved. Let The fluid
stand quiet ior'tl,e inrurit es and color
ing matter of the soap to sertle; then
pour of the fluid and add to it four uun
'ces of glyeerine aud your soap bubble
solution is ready. Iu an ordinary way
yon may blow the bubbles easily with
a,tobacco pipe, but it you wish to att lin
scientific perfection, glass pipe can be
empIoyed with better success. By al.
ding larger quantity of glycerine, you
may make these bubbles so strong that
you can play battledore with them.

MARCH 21.-In the Ohio Senate
the House bill to prohibit persons
from hunting game on the lands of
another without permission, failed on
its passage, only IL votes being cast
in its favor. This measure is one that
has called out an immense number of
petitions pro and con, and has agita-
ted all the game clubs Of the State. so
as TO cause them to have protests
against the bill sent by the thousand.
The House bill to authorize City
Councils to make special assessments
and appropriations of land for the
opening Of streets according to bene
fits, was, after a discussion of a day,
passed. The House resolution ask
