A Member of the Typographical Union
Refused Burial by a Catholic Bishop.

Yesterday morning, at s o'clock, the
friends and relations of poor Chabot,
the printer who was last week drowned
in the harbor, followed his remains to
the grave in the Roman Catholic Gene
terry, but, strange to say, the authorities
at the last moment refused to allow the
body to be inferred. Upon inquiries
being made, it was stated that a note
had been handed to Bishop Bourget in
forming him that the deceased was a
member of a secret society inimical to
the Catholic faith, and that consequent
ly he had felt himself constrained to
prevent the burial of the deceased in
consecrated ground. This was dread
full blow to the friends of Chabot, whose
only connection was with the Montreal
Typographical Union No. 81, which, of
course, is very far from being a secret
society. Several persons attempted to
have the order Withholding burial re-
scinded, but with no success. Much
Indignation is expressed by the printers
generally at the Bishops conduct

Bridges.

Probably more bridges have been
built since 1900 than in all time before.
In 1850 London Bridge was the only
one across the Thames in that metropo-
lis, and every attempt to create another
was, through local jealousy, vehemently
treated. Between Putney, distant about
eight miles, and London Bridge there
are now nine bridges. There was at
one time mania for bridge building,
says the Building NeaUs, and Tom
Paine, the free-thinker, undertook to
span the Schuylkill with a single arch.
A part which he constructed with
this view went to form a very lofty
bridge over the Wear at Sunderland.
South America very early hit upon the
expedient of suspension bridges. ALI
fees over bridges in London are now
abolished, save in one case. A writer
on this subject recently pointed out
that even the magnificent and enor-
mously costly bridge over the Danube,
at Buda Pesth, is free, and adds that no
American bridge is, so far as he is
aware, tolled, which, we regret to say,
shows the writer's ignorance only too
plainly.

Lassoing a Lion.

One day last week, as Samuel Matti-
son was riding through the hills of San
Lorenzo, he suddenly came face to face
with large, full-grown California lion.
In an instant his lasso, that indispensa-
BILE article to the mountain ranger, was
clrcling above his head, and with the
dauntless courage characteristic of Sam,
he sent the fatal moose with unerring
aim around the neck of the lion; then,
suddenly turning, he plunged the rowels
of his spurs deep into the TANKS of his
wen-trained horse, and dragged the
animal few hundred yards, when he
dismounted and buckled strap around
the jaws of the lion, which was COM
pletely exhausted from the choking it
had received. He then bound and
packed it upon the horse, and took it to
the house, not far distant, where he Sc
cured his ionship, which soon recov-
cred, when Sam found he was like the
man who bought the elephant. He has
the skin of the animal, and displays il
as trophy of his reckless daring. San

Pulling a Tooth with a Door Knob.

rough Western farmer came into a
doctors office to have tooth extracted,
but t1lnched at sight of the " instru-
ments, and again the doctor tried in
vain to get gripper into his mouth.
At last the Hoosier declared. ''that
ere new-fangled thing to be no ac-
count, " and wanted to know if the doc
tor could tie string around the tooth
for, said he, that's the way I used
to pull em out, an I guess it's better'n
all your new-fangled fixtures
The dentist, to please him, said he
would try, and producing from drawer
fine, strong piece of fsh-line, after a
great deal Of trouble and yells of pain
from the Hoosier, it was firmly secured
around the tooth. The Hoosier then
proposed to fasten the string to the door
knob, which was accordingly done.
The backwoodsman then commenced
a series OF easy jerks on the line, each
OF which was followed by yells of pain.
The doctor resumed his seat, and smiled
audibly behind his paper, occasionally
CHANGING toward the door, and then
turning quickly again to the paper to
hide behind it his merriment.
Thus matters stood, until, at last, the
fire burned low, and the dentist rose to
replenish it. AS he threw in the wood
and stirred the red-hot Goals into
blaze, brilliant idea seemed to strike
him, for his face frightened wonder
fully. Arising from the floor, he left
the poker in the fire, and seating him
self, awaited the change of affairs The
backwoodsman had relapsed into de-
spondency, for a melancholy expression
had settled on his face. He steadily
gazed downward, as if he were in deep
thought.
The dentist, as I have said before.
resumed his seat, but threw aside his
paper, and sat looking intently into the
fire, with an expression of merriment
playing on his features.
Thus he sat for some time. At last.
noiselessly rising from his seat, he drew
the poker, one end of which was glow
ing with a red heat, from the fire. He
suddenly brandished it in the air and
brought it rapidly towards the Hoosiers
nose. The backwoodsman threw him.
self back with jerk. The cord did not
break nor the door knob come out, but
the tooth loosened from its place and
bounded against the door with the click
of bullet

PunctiIiO.

Not more than three weeks have
elapsed since the Chancellor of the Ger
man Empire stated, officially, that /" AM
bsRsadors are to Sovereigns, not to
States" Even American ministers are
accredited to the :" courts" or monarchs
of the countries where they represent us.
But old Spain has made very new inno-
walton on this immemorial etiquette.
The British Government has refused to
recognize the Spanish Republic. The
new Spanish Minister to that country is
officially styled "the representative of
Spain to England, not to Her Majesty"
This fact deserves record as the most
dignifed example ever exhibited of the
lex talionis 1t will be worth while to
note the manner in which the new Min
lister will be received. Thus has proud
Spain, the birthplace of punctilio, been
forced by the march of modern ideas to
become the first of European nations
officially to ignore the punctilio!

The Growing CrOps.

INDIANA has not more than half the
acreage of corn she had in 1872.
Corn promises well in Southern
Illinois, notwithstanding the very late
planting.
LESS than an average yield of grain
is now promised throughout Ontario,
Canada.
The early crop of new potatoes in the
southwestern portion of Illinois is yield
ing bountifully.
The wheat crop of Minnesota is esti-
mated at 100000 bushels this year
an unprecedented yield.
No peaches, few cherries and grapes,
and an entire failure of blackberries, is
the report from Southern Illinois.
AT st. Joseph, Mich, during the sea-
son, Is, 257 crates of strawberries were
shipped, and IL ,676 for Benton Harbor.
The greatest shipment on any one day
was on June Is, when about 5000
packages were shipped by three differ
ent steamers.
The farmers of Western Iowa say the
potato bugs have not been so bad for
years as they have this season. Whole
fields have been stripped of their foliage
and are mass of dying and barren
vines The probabilities are that pota-
toes viii be very scarce and dear this
fall.
In the vicinity of Des Moines, Iowa,
the crops are promising. Barley is
large wheat is better than for many
years corn is astonishing; apples are
abundant raspberries, ditto pears are
failure potatoes are buggy.

A California Rancho.

The following Description of Cali
fornia rancho of vast extent and great
productiveness is supplied by the Sacra-
mento Union of June % DR. Glenn,
of Colusa county, owns a rancho which
contains nearly $4,000 acres. It en-
braces frontage of eighteen miles on
about five miles. 1t is inclosed and di-
vided by lao miles of fencing. One
tenant, G. W. Hoog, rents and cult
Yates about 10000 acres of the land, and
the Gupton Brothers cultivate an equal
portion. Some 1000 acres are rented
out to number of farmers who work on
smaller scale. At the present time
farming operations are going on on his
rancho at lively rate, as the work of
harvesting is progressing rapidly. Hoog
is engaged in cutting 1000 acres of
wheat and barley. The crop will this
year yield about twenty bushels per acre
of wheat. In favorable seasons the
yield has been about thirty-five bushels.
The yield of barley is considerably
larger. The total crop will amount to
nearly 100000 bushels. He is thrash
ing his grain with one of Cases 48-inch
cylinder thrashing machines, which is
run by twenty-horse power steam en-
CINE. To supply this machine requires
six large-sized headers and eighteen
header-wagons, all of which require the
labor of Ito horses and so men. The
machine has thrashed five sacks of bar
ley per minute, at which rate it has run
for an hour and half in succession. It
has also thrashed thirty-sacks of wheat
in seven minutes. 1t will require about
six weeks to thresh the entire crop.
These are the operations of Hoog alone.
Gupton Brothers have an equally large
crop, and are driving business on about
the same scale. The smaller tenants
are equally well employed"

A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston
Transcript, who renews the cry that our
