P0stponing q Funeral to See
Rarnum's Show.

1t is said that the Kentucky Legis-
lature once wanted to adjourn to at
tend IL circus; Il county court in In
diana, owing to the desire of witness
ses and persons to see the circus, obi
gingly adjourned to crafty them, the
judge going i'll deadhead; camp
meeting in Illinois took recess for
half a day once to see the wonders of
nature and feats Of agility exhibited
by a highly moral circus and menag-
erie farm hands stipulate in Geor-
gia, in their contracts, for liberty to
g GO to the circus" and the best men
have weakness for the hoopla, paint,
spangles and sawdust of the arena.
But we heard for the first time re-
Gently of a funeral being postponed on
a circus coming to town. The facts
come from tire amiable Mons. Thomas,
the literary. man Of Barnuln's show.
Out in Pennsylvania country edi-
tor lost his child by death the night
before the show reached the town.
The expression of grief Was all, that
any ordinary mind could demand.
He was good ma1H as are all coun-
try editors, who live in hope and
thrive on faith, and believe that the
substance Of things hoped for--but
we won't drop into !. theological ex-
position. Not to treat grave mat
ter lightly, the editors child died the
next morning after. Barnuan's agent
entered his office and sat down
and chatted, in his usual fascina-
ting way, about the peculiarities Of
the herbirorais and Illuminating ami
mails, the playful freaks OF the mon
keys, and the aristocratic airs put on
by the cameleopard. AS he COM
mcnced his little narrative the editor
had just given directions for the i'll
sertion Of the funeral notice of his
child-the ceremony to take place the
same afternoon. He became inter-
ested in the agents glowing zoologi-
cal sketches, and when Il half dozen
complimentary tickets were handed
him, his feelings underwent change.
With the solemn demeanor of man
who could afford to enjoy life even
under the most depressing influences,
the editor walked to the stairs and
called to the foreman in Il sad voice:
"JOhn, you may take out that funer-
al notice-well postpone it till to-
morrow"
And he did, and went to Barnum's
great moral show. This is the only
instance OH record where a funeral
was postponed on account of a circus,
And yet nine-tenths of the human race,
it they had their own choice, would
rather go to q circus any day in the
week then attend a funeral, even if
it was their own.

work in his mine again, but he was
| now more secretive than ever. He
built himself q stone house, where
each window was IN embrasure,
pointing out of which was fixed a
loaded musket, and the only man who
ever got enough into Toms conf
dence to examine the house
says that there was also n fixed
! mnsket enfilading the doorway. He
told this person that he WAS
having an iron house made for
himself that he thought would he
more secure. In general it was
but little, and only to mere children,
that Tom ever spoke. And there
came q day some two years ago, when
Tom found it necessary to go to a
house where he is likely to be perma-
nently safe. Two brothers, almost
as uncouth as Tom himself, came
lowering about the dying man. He
asked the priest to bring lawyer,
and when this was effected, said:
"If you will send them out" point
ing to his brothers, 81 will tell ALL"
But the brothers wonll not go out Of
the house, and Tom died MS mute as he
had lived. Application to the proper
authorities in New York recovered
Toms gold, which he had been too
much frightened to apply for after his
escape. The brothers left not one
stone of the house upon another, and
they found about $4,000 in gold hid
den, in and around it. Out Of Toms
cave they took, III addition, it is be-
lieved, ore Of not less than 800, 600.
They divided their treasures as they
found gold or gold ore, by dealing out
coin or bills as it it was cards at po-
ker, one to each alternately. What
there is left Of Tom kelly's real
estate looks like the debris of an
earthquake.

A Western Hermit.
From the Dubuque Cor. N. Y. Tribune !

There is romance connected with
another lead cave which l visited.
There old Tom Kelly lived and died
poor, though rich. Tom vas an un-
educated Irishman, and when he dis
covered his cave kept the fact to him
self. He slnelted his own ore and
carried his lead down to the river
bank, secretly, until he had hidden in
the bank about $32, 900 worth of lead.
This he shipped and went with it
down the river, reshipping it at New
Orleans and going with it to New
York, whene he sold it, taking his pay
i'll gold. Perhaps the gold was heavier
than the Read. At all events poor
Tom sat down with his money bags
to rest, and as he w;ls . dirty-looking
old fellow, some boys collected around
him and began poking fun at him. A
great fear seized Tom-a kar for his
money bags. He snatched them up
and started to run for the dock, where
his boat was lying. The boys follow
ed, hooting. Tom stumbled and fell.
One Of the boys ahead of the rest,
came upon him. Tom drew knife
and stabbed the boy through the
heart. At the trial that ensucd it
was shown that Tom Kelly was more
than half-crazed, aud he was acquitted
but kept in confinement as a lunatic.
Here his instinct as miner put him
in good stead; he burrowed out and
escaped. Before long Tom was at

Father Hyacinthe's Letter.
From the N. Y. Tribune.1

The letter in which Father Hya-
cinthe explains his marriage consists
principally Of an argument against
perpetual VOWS of celibncy. He had
no thought of marriage when he loft
his convent in 1869. The passion
which has now changed his whole life
seems to have sprung up when, in his
subsequent poverty and loneliness, he
found the support OF u noble and holy
affection, II sublime Devotion Surely,
he exclaims, I should not recognize
the blessing which God has given me
were to hesitate in seeking for it
the conservation Of marriage" And
why should he mott III leaving his
conxent he had made a practical pro-
test against perTe Tetnal lani.atics svaasIxs !
in order to make his protest against
perpetual VOWS of cc1ibacy effectual
and logical he must take wife. No
man, he urges, has the moral right to
bind himself to abstain forever from
what may become duty. "lf may
here speak my whole mind,' he says,
"there is not q single case in which
the Church should prohibit marriage
to its pastors, but there are a thousand
where it ought to command them to
marry" Celibacy may he a holy and
glorious exception; but Father Hya-
cinthe does not consider himself one
of the exceptions; marriage has come
home to him "as one of those laws of
the moral government Of the world
which can not be set aside without
overturning the fabric of life and run
ming counter to the will of God" Fa-
ther Hyacintlle makes the surprising
statement that in answer to q question

bishops of tile Roman Church" wrote
to him, "Such q step is always per-
missible, often necessary, and some
times a sacred duty" But he does not
tell us who the bishop wa~
Here comes the difficulty, however.
which many men like Father Hya-
cinthe have experienced before. They
rebel against one point of faith Or dis
cipline in the Roman Catholic system,
but are unwilling to give up the rest;
yet that system is SO completely round
ed that no ono can logically accept
Catholicism rs whole without accept
ing every part Of it. "I intend to re-
main a Catholic and a priest,' says
Father Hyacinthe. Well, it is part,
and a very important part, Of Catholic
doctrine, that Church has power to de-
fine heresy and to cut off offenders
from her communion, and the Church
pronounces Father Hyacinthe to be
hereto and excommunicate. How is
he going to stay in the Church if the
Church will not have him9
1t is hard to SEQ more than one
course for men in his position. They
must call themselves what they are
Protcstants. They must initiate Ln-
ther, not only in marrying, but in
rejecting at once the whole system
which forbade them to marry. The
alternative is to adopt the course of
the "Old Catholics" but what that is
to be, no one can yet tell. The last
rumor was that English Episcopalians
were considering ways and means for
opening relations with them.

Potiphar's Wife at Rye Beach.

A correspondent Of the Boston Trav-
eller, writing from Rye Beach, relates
the following:
/ witnessed last evening, soon after
the arrival of the Eastern passenger
trains via Portland, a little episode
with which have been made fani-

vowed that without her life would be

another man. He found that his un-

A gentleman in Lynn, Massachu-
setts, while passing around Il pond in
that city few mornings since, wit
messed curious scene, which lie thus
describes: Around the margin of the
pond, in the water, there was a large
collection of common toads: close be-
side them was an equally large gath
ering of bullfrogs; and battle be-
tween the two was in progress. The
frogs, being the most powerful, were
busily engaged in drowning the toads.
Ono or more frogs would seize toad
and hold his head under the water
until he was drowned. Sometimes a
frog would find that he was over
matched, and then he would utter a
peculiar sound, when one or more Of
his comrades would come to his aid,
and the toad was sure, to go under,
never to rise again. The battle con-
tinucd for several minutes, until the
toads were completely "cleaned OUT
when the frogs joined in one triumphal
croak, as Though they had achieved a
victory over mortal enemies.
