Liucoln's little anecdotes will explain
why.
Mr. Lincoln had been retained M
counsel for a fellow accused OF stealing
six fine hogs. Tho trial came on ana
the witnesses for the State proved the
theft beyond all question, and identl-
fled Mr. Lincoln's client rs the thief.
When tho testimony had closed, Mr.
L, turned to tho thief and said, ~ see
no ground for any defence in this case,
sir. If the witnesses are to be believed
you are guilty and l cannot make any
thing else out of it."
"Never mind my guilt" said the con-
fding client. "Jes' get up and abuse
them witnesses like the devil, and
spread Yourself on general principles!''
Mr. Lincoln did as he was told. The
jury retired, and in less than half an
hour, much to the surprise of court and
counsel, returned a verdict of "not
guilty"
II don't understand this" said MI
Lincoln, turning to his client as he
spoke; .'these fellows must have mis-
understood"
Not d-n bit Of it," answered the
sagacious client with a knowing wink

CURE FOR NERVOUSNESS CORES
pondent of the Practical Farmer says:
81 have known many men, and wo-
men too, who from various causes, had
become so much affected with ner-
vonsness that when they stretched out
their hands they shook like aspen
leaves on windy days; and by a daily
moderate use of the blanched foot
stalks of the celery leaves as salad,
they became as strong and steady in
limbs as other people. l have known
Others so very nervous that the least
annoyance put them in state of agi-
tation, who were in almost constant
perplexity and fear, and WHO were ef-
tectnally cured by daily moderate use
of blanched celery as salad at meal
fines. l have known others cured by
using celery for palpitation of the
heart.

TA funny thing happened in Bos-
ton the other day. A learned profess
sor, who has made speciality of tag
idermy; and is passionately fond of
stuffed birds, was promenading down
Washington street with friend when
they came to window where was ex-
hibited a gigantic owl. This owl illus
trated we'll point lie had been max
ing in his conversation about stuffed
birds moment previous. "You see,''
said the doctor to his friend, "that
here is magnificent bird utterly ruin
ed by unskillful stufling. Notice the
mounting. Execrable, isn't it, M
live owl ever roasted in that position
And the eyes are fully a third larger
than any owl ever possessed" Jus,
then the bird in question raised one
foot and solcmnly blinked at it's critic,
who said very little more about stuffed
birds that afternoon.

A German paper, the Prorinziat Correspondent,
publishes an answer, believed to be inspired
by Prince Bismarck, to the her0io nemoran-
dun of the Prussan Bishops to the government.
Threatening the Catholics, and especially the
Bishops. with what the State will be able to
do after the new ecclesiastical laws are passed,
this paper declares that "there can be ques-
ton of martyrdom inflicted the Church.
The martyrs crown" it says, "would i'll be-
come those who conspire against God and con-
stituted misunderstanding the State, what
ever it May enjoin-''not for the love of their
faith, but on behalf of the worldly power and
mastership of the Church." Now this insinua-
ton involves nothing more nor less than an
outrageous and palpable untruth. 1t is equiv
| Rlent to saying that faith is not involved when
Bishop is forbidden to remove priest who
breaches heretical doctrine without the consent
of the State, and without decision ON the
part of the State whether that doctrine il
hsretical or not. 1t is impossible to conceive
an issue in which the purity of tho faith is
| more directly Interested, and the talk about
| worldly power and spiritual domination is
| simply an attempt to browbeat the Catholics
and throw dust in other peoples eyes, so as to
divert public attention from the real grievances
| which lie at the bottom of the Catholic resist
