Archbishop Bayley was invested with
the pallium Sunday at Baltimore. The "
Y. Herald says Iii simply an addition to
his priestly vestments, ,made Of lanshs' wool
spotted with purple crosses, and is worn
on the shoulders Of the prelate over the
chasuble, and with a label hanging down
the breast and back. 1t was formerly a
long garment, aud was an imperial habit
which the Roman emperors conferred as a
mark of honor and dignity upon eminent
priests and bishops.
# was subsequently limited in size and
was conferred only upon archbishops. lts
use Is limited to particular days, occasions
aud places, aud il is guarded with the
most Jealous care by It's wearer while he
lives and is buried With him when lac dies
so that every new bishop has to ask and
receive q new palium.
Palliums derive their ecclesiastical sa-
crcdness from the circumstance that the
lambs from whose wool they are made
are blessed in tho Church Of st.
Agnes on her festival, and are afterwart
kept in a nunnery until they are shorn
And when this wool is manufactured int
cloth the palliums are laid over the tomt
of st. Peter in Rome the whole night o
vigil before the feast Of that Apostle.

No BIunderer Wanted.

A first rate story is told of very
prominent man, who lived in Detroit for
ty years ago, and who at that time owned
more steamboat stock than any other man
in the Western country, besides other
wealth to large amount.
Like many of the pioneers who acquired
great riches. he was very ignorant in all
that books taught, hut his learning was
more like wisdom, and in common with
many who have lived, and passed away,
hut left their mark behind them, he knew
what tree would make shingles by looking
nj it.
He had, at the time Of our story, just
completed u splendid new warehouse at
Buffalo, and wanting suitable clerk to
take charge of il. he advertised for one in
the papers. The next morning early "a
candidate for the position presented him
self, a rather n too ilashy a young man In
appearance, but the following conversation
occurred:
"Young man, when you make mistake
in any of your books, how do you correct
it -
The young man explained, in a very
profuse manner, how he should proceed to
make il all right.
"a good way no doubt to do it," re-
piled the old man, "but | shan't want
you"
Very soon another aspirant put in nm
appearance. A similar question was
asked him, and in a long and eloquent
manner he pointed out the remedy iu all
such cases.
All the reply was; "Young man,
shan't want YOU"
Some three or four others dropped in
during the day, and to each one the same
question was put, and they all had some
smart way of covering up errors in theil
/ books.
The old gentleman was entirely ignorant
himself of the ant of book lteping, hut he
had wisdom in all things, which is more
than match for learning.
Just at the close of the day, plainly
dressed man, with a bright eye and O
brisk step called for the situation.
Take Il seat sir, said the old gentle
man, 81 want to ask you just one qucs
ton When you make false entry OF
your books, how do you 90 to work Il
correct it ~
Turning upon his questloner a cold
sharp .ook, the young man replied; :"
don't make that kind Of mistakes, sir"
"Ah my dear sir, you are just the maj
have been looking for all day. aud in 1
few moments after, the man who correcte
his blunders by not making them, was in
stalled in the office.

The New Jersey Straight-out Democrat

without Democratic nominees, Is ridicu'
lous and abhorrcnt TO every true Demo-

Adams should receive the support Of every
honest Democrat. A resolution was also
adopted recommending the nomination OF
Democratic candidates for Congress in the
Fifth and Sixth Districts.

The EnRiIsh iron Trade.

There are indications of a turning point
in the English iron trade-showing that
the extreme rates Of the last few months
are at length producing their natural re-
suits. Thongh there ia at present, except
in few localities, no dimlnutiOu of actiy-
ity, vet operations are limited to filling old
orders where new ones fail to come in.
In the iron ship building trade, tlo, the
most marked results of the high prices of
raw materials begin to be manifested. It
Is stated that in the north of England a
great deal of capital has been sunk. A
year ago builders had a pressure of orders
that compelled them, in very many cases,
to decline new contracts. These orders
are now being rapidly completed, and in
nearly all the yards il is noticed that no
new keels are laid to take the places of
vessels recently launched Although
there is a quantity of orders still on hand,
1t is apparent that bofore the close of the
year a number of workmen must be dis
charged. From these facts the New York
Bulletin concludes that the English iron
trade has now arrived at a turning point
and that reduction of prices may now
be anticipated, though to what extent the
reaction may extend it Is just now impos
sible to say.

TOO MUCH FOR MIDGET.
How Three Men Undertook to Obey Their
Wives-Why One Didn't.

Timkins, Tarhox and Midget were a
convivial trio. They were married men,
and yet they spent many Of their evenings
at the tavern, thus leaving undone duties
which ought to have been done, and doing
gfelt many things which ought never to
have been done. One night the trio sat at
the festive board Of Plmple's tavern until
very near to midnight, at which hour they
were about as drunk as men could be ant
not be dead. A dispute arose touching
the payment Of the bill fol. the evenings
entertainment.
"HuP on said Timkins. "Let'r he
till t-morer. When We get home our
wives III he sure tn tell us to do some un-
accountable thing, and If any lne Of US re-
fuses to do the first thing his wife tells
him after he gets inter the house, he shall
pay the whole bill for the p,rly."
This was agreed to, and it was further
stipulated that each should give true
account of the result at their next meeting,
Tn the following evening the friends met
again. Tlmpkins led oil.
" Well, boys" said he, g had tough

HEAD CLEFT IN TWAIN.


A horrible deed was perpetrated at
Gray's Lot, 81. Philip street, on Saturday
night at II o'clock, colored man by the
name or Robert Brown cleaying open the
head of Ellis Allen, another colored man,
with an axe.
Although the ali ir occurred where a
number Of colOred parsons hire apart
ments, and was heard by some Of them,
il was with the greatest difficulty that a
Courier reporter could ascertain the meagre
information gwen below.
Allen is a dark brown man, and Brown
some what lighter; both members of the
Promptilude Fite Company, the former
holding one of the subordinate Offices, and
the other that of eecretary. They had
never had Il dispute IN the recollection of
those who We're frequently with them, aud
in fact, were regarded ms good friends.
On the evening Of the dreadful occur
renee they met at Non Claims grosery,
ut the corner Of Warren aud 81. Philip
streets. aud the re had an alteration. They
had qnarrcled awhile, they agreed to STRIP
into the street aud fight if out. As they
left the shop, to carry out their design,
they were met by a policeman, who inter-
ferfed in the interest OF peace, ami preven-
ted difficulty. A friend Of Allen came
up NNAN huNArN'A ulilA ~ 49, wan hiNAff fNAA
he did so. Brown then left the sceue,aud
went home 10 the lot where he aud Allen
occupied rooms almost adjoining, Ia H
small tenement, ia ,he rear Of the prcmi
ses.
Brown, il Is said, was eating his supper,
whcn Allen came home under the inilu-
cnce of liquOr-tncy both hqd been drink
ing-wOrds ensued again, when the for
mer upbraided the latter for cursiug him
50 severely at the grocery. Blows were
passed-who struck the first no one could
say, but Brown rot his OppOnent down
and chOked him, causing him to cry for
help. Brown relaxed his grasp, when
they separated, Allen going towards his
room and Brown 10 his OWE. Parties in
the middle room say they heard Allen
fumbliug in drawer in his apartment us
though searching for something.
He very soon retracod his stcps to
Browns room telling him that he was
ready for him, or words to that elect.
Whether he assaulted Brown with the
knife. which was afterwards found where
he fell, or whether Brown fearing he
would do 50 gave him the bow, which
sp.it his head open, could not be definitely
RnowR. Il is certain, however, that when
/ Allen went for Brown the second time be
was injured. The blow given with the
axe, as it buried the bland of the instru
ment in the man, sounded like splitting Il
yourd.
Allen fell on a small patch of grass and

which Miss Ducey was shown into the

Miss Ducey had come to tell Mrs. Cax

ding, and she stopped an hour and r
half. Aud VIII she went away che clrcu-

"And, my dear, !" added Miss Dueey. 81

"But, dclare, won't be caught again" "
said Mrs. Caxgrove, resolutely.
Az the end of five minutes she came
back with telegram In her hand.
"You'Il have to go to the depot, Stephen
she said, so meet the Ravens. Here is Il
telegraphic dispatch, to say that they are

crying. "For the future, will try 70 set

Mr.. Caxgroye coanted out the money,
and sent to Mr.. salter, with note, saying
that the mite chest had met with better
luck than his wife anticipated.

IT there is any people especially interest
cd in the award of the Emperor William
which Ia to fix the ownership of the Island
of San Juan as between England and this
country, they are the Inhabitants Of the
territory. That is, they are interested in
having the award postponed to the remo-
test possible time. The island is said TO
he the best shcep-raising country on the
Pacific coast, and many Of the residents
have accumulated fine fortunes at the
business. But what has contributed most
largely to their prosperity Is the happy
circumstance that ON account of their be-
reavemcnt of any government, parental
or otherwise, they pay no taxes whatever,
whether excise duties on their productions
or tariff on what they import for their
own use. Hence these people have nothing
to do hut 10 raise whatever they can to
the best advantage aud sell II for the
highest price that it will command and
such is their stupid perversity that they
are most illogically happy and prosperous
and could afford to pay the German Kaiser
something handsome to reserve his deci
sion for several years.

The Japanese Girls.

The Japanese girl students in Washing
ton have been studying TOO hard, aud one
has been 50 persistent IN her application
as to contract Il serious disease OF the eye,
which thrcatcnt her with total blindness.
Indeed. the difficulty is So serious that the
Japanese Minister has informed the uuior-
tunate child that she will have To return
TO Japan, and another student hc sent in
her place. The name Of the sufferer is
Rio YOshenias. and she is not only the eld-
est Of the party, but particularly bright in
intellect, and noted for many her amiablc
qualities. When the final decision was
made known to hcr that she must uiun
TO Japan, she acquiesced without a word
of complaint; but her companions were
greatly distressed, and manifested their
sorrow in the most touching manner.
