NAhING 4 PIC

A writer in the Coagregationalisi tells
this snecdots Of nr. Todd
His first settlement WAS with church
that, like many others in Massachusetts,
about that time, had just come of from
the Town Society, a majority OF whom
had become "liberal, or Untarians leav-
ing all their rights In the house Of wor-
ship and In the church property. Most
of the more wealthy were left with the
old society. They were very bitter in
their feelings toward the seceders, and
showed their bitterness in various ways,
not always very refined or indicative of
good breeding or special "liberality.'
One Of the most influential men of the
"Hberal" society exhibited bis feelings
towards the new church by naming one
of his pigs after their young pastor, call
ing II "Parson Todd This, of course,
excited great merrment among all the
opposers of the enterprise, and was on
the lips of every one. II soon reached the
the ears Mr.. Todd, and one morning, see
ing this influential gentleman across the
narrow common that ran through the
village, he passed over and met him with
one of his blandest salutations.
Good morning, MFR. r.--; understand
you have named one ofyour pigs after
me calling 1t 'Parson Todd
Yes, sir, have, replied the man, not a
little embarrassed.
Well, sir, am greatly obliged to you
for selecting the likeiest one of your
family.

"ExCUsE BY GLOVE"

Certain kinds of mistaken politeness
sincere as they are, are absurd enough TO
be grotesque. A common mistake Of this
sort, with many persons, even in large
cities, is to say Excuse my glove" when
they offer their hand to a casual acquaint-
ance, or an Introduction 10 stranger.
Il might be inferred FROM this remark
that the wearing of gloves is extremely
rare ia a ciyaliEed community, or that the
wearer wishes to advertise the extraordi-
nary fact that he has gloves. All he really
desires is to appear polite; never suspec-
ting for moment that he is simply
ridiculous.
If you offer to shake hands with any
one In place where It Is customary TO
wear gloves, you certainly need no ex-
cuse for compliance with the habit. You
might with equal reason, OH receiving a
visitor at your house, apologize TO him
for not removing your coat before bid
ding him welcome
The surpernuous phrase probably had
it's origin in the days when gloves were
clnmsy, aud used more for protection
than as al essential Of dress. Then the
naked hand was thought to be an evi.
dence Of good will and cordiality. since
gloves have bees universally adopted,
the idea Of asking pardon for wearing
them is an anachronism rs well as su i'm.
propriety.
Gloves are now made TO fit exactly, 50
that, were it courtesy to take them off on
eneountering ones friends or acquain,
tances, an amount OF time and trouble
would be required which would inevita
bly, render q social greeting al once q

Catholics of che United States, industrious,
law abiding and progressive, devoted to
the interests of their mighty Fatherlsnd

and to the Holy Father. They have pass

La burst of unwcnted candour the

the time when the Catholicism of the New

schisms and heresies of Europe, has already
more than come to pass when not merely

friendlier spirit than its contemporary, is
lmpelied to admit that "it is idle to deny
or to seek to disguise the fact that the
spiritual, moral, and social influence of the
Roman Church is,, to say the least, fully
as great as when the first blow at it's tom
poral dominion was struck, and there is
very great reason for thinking that it has
materially increased" When the advent
of hundred pilgrims has caused such re-
fexions to our adversaries, what might not
be expected if it was only remembered that
behind that hundred there are millions and

Shockoe Greek.

That some attention should be paid to this
creek we suppose almost everybody will
agree. 1t throws into James river at present
an amount of debris seriously injurious to
navigation. 1t should be protected by walls
from the constant deposits from its present
shores, and proper police regulations should
be enforced for protecting it from nuisance
The bar at the mouth of Shockoe creek at
present extends nearly across the river.
Every improvement upon the line of the
creek or any rayine that Is drained towards
it adds largely to the debris that it conveys
to the river.
Not only for the protection of the nayiga-
ton OF the river is this Improvement of the
shores OF Shockoe creek needed, but it is
demanded for the improvement of the valley
along the creek. Its boundaries should be
enduringly settled and marked.
We look TO see at an early day the valley
determined upon as the point Of entrance
for all the railways on the north side of the
city. A union DEPOT may be built on Frank.
lin street, where the trains from the North
and the Sonth.can meet and exchange pas
sengers and baggage, and thus afford &c.
gree Of public accommodation whose i'm.
portance we cannot oyer.estimate.
These great benefits will be facilitated by
