The Elizabeth Journal says Bishop Oden-
heimer is in many respects a remarkable man.
Although in his fifty-ifth year, he has
never worn glasses and has not gray hair on
his head. He is still lame from the effects of
his broken limb and heavy Affections to-
gether with the loss of his children, left their
mark upon him, but still he is able to do good
service for the church, and looks as yonng as
any man of his age that can be found.

Tammany ring is exempliied by the reduc-
about one million dollars in the advertising

nous sum was applied to corrupt papers that
people saw, but the greater share went to pa

had no circulation. The names of some of
them, and those which received the larger
share of the plumber, were unknown to the
general public.

shall hear Of the death of the Pope in short

Pope by pretended plepiscite of the inhabi
tants of Rome, or had thrown elements of dis
cord among the Collepe of Cardinals
