The Toledo chronicle. [volume] (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1873-1924, 1874-10-01

In the village of Setauket, 4. l., lives
a near sighted man who is paying atten-
tions to young woman Of Port Jeffer-
SON, who is also nesr-sighted. On Sun
day he invited her to accompany him to
church, and, by an apparently fatal CO.
incidence, he drove blind horse. Worst
of all, the gentleman forgot his spec
tacles, and, as the purblind couple could
not see how to guide him, the horse was
unable to keep in the road, and when
they reached the place of worship one
tire was missing and the buggy box
badly bruised, having, been in contact
with trees, stumps and stones on the
roadside. Once there, however, they

A Fish and Rat Story.

THE Boston Traveller tells the follow
ing story of an old gentleman who passes
his summer days at a favorite resort in
Boston harbor. The other morning be-
fore four o'clock he took his fishing rod
and basket and went gravely Che does
everything gravely) down to the landing,
to fish an hour or two before breakfast.
The sport was not over-exciting, and after
he had caught one smelt he took short
nap, the smelt meanwhile having been
deposited in the basket Another bite
came, and another smelt was caught and
placed in the basket. "Two," says The
old gentleman, laconically, but to his
surprise his first fish was gone. He
wondered . little, but took another nap.
Then caught another smelt. 1.-TWO now,
said the old man; but, wonder again, the
second fish had disappeared. He tried
one more nap with the same result, and
after catching his fourth fish determined
to watch his basket while the fifth smelt
was biting. The thief was discovered,
and proved to be an immense and cheeky
wharf rat-not human wharf rat, but a
rodent. He had been feeding during the
pleasant sleep of the ancient fisherman,
and no doubt went off to tell his friends
what kind old fellow had been roosting
ON the landing.

''sWe'n all take the blame" 1t was
pleasanter to put off the evil hour for a

anything, and they set out for the pond.

Fortunes In Small Ways.
A New York correspondent writes:


One can count on his ten fingers the
heavy merchants that have stood un-
moved during quarter of II century.
The heaviest houses topplc down and the
richest men pass out of sight. But th"r"
is "A class of men who maintain Umimtrr-
rupted prosperity. These are men who
began small, had speciality, always sold
the exact article they proiessed, kept
grubbing OH from year to year, and wait
ed for fortune till she chose to appear.
One of the heaviest paper houses in New
York was begun by a man who was
rag-picker. He began in the small
est possible way. When he had
only II small baskctful he assorted
them fairly and honestly. He soon got
the confidence of the trade. His rags
were always the quality that he repre-
scnted; and he walked over the course,
always making progress, always making
money. In his immense warehouse to-
day buyers are sure 10 find when they
get home the exact article they pur-
chased. Some years ago man set up Il
little cigar store. His speciality WAS that
he would not keep domestic cigar on
his shelves. The article that h" sold
WAS invariably good, and he
made fortune. There are half adozrn
old caterers in New York. They
are fifty and sixty years odd.
Two or three of them are in cellars or IN
small rooms. The floor is sandcd; the
seats are without backs; the tables rrr
without cloths; the head of the house
waits on his customers, coat of white
apron around his waistc, the p"rspiratl"n
on his forehead he broils and stews and
fries for his customers. Everything about
the room isjust as it wnSthirty years ago.
In these little dcns from l. to > one can
not stand the crowd. The first m"r-
chants in New York fill the place.
Chops, bcef,teakS, hams, English m'li-
ton, are spccialtics. The man who waits
ON these clerks and merchants could buy
a house on Fifth avenue and live III II if
he wanted to.

MIR GLADSTONE'S PAMPHLET.

The present controversy between Mr..
GLADSTONE and Arch Bishop MANNING,
,,,i,rd hv the recent pamphlet issued by
the former, i, attracting considerable at
,.1,inn. Whether or not the dogma of
pgpal infallbiity demands allegiance to
tie spiritual power of the Pope, in pref
rrrncr to civil authority, is the great
point at issue, and this, naturally
enough causes excitement in Euro
pran countries more particular V in those
Ike ENGLAND, where Professionalism is es-
uhli,hcd by law. The fear of this being
the result of the dogma, was the alleged
r,lse of BI>MARCKS hostility to the
Roman Catholics in Germany,
which led him TO advocate
50 warmly their expulsion. Now, it ap-
,rarS the DiSraeli, the present premier of
England, is governed by similar senti-
mrnt>. ~ We see that it has been deter
nlinrd /" withdraw the diplomatic repre-
rulatiyr, which England has always kept
m the Vatican The Arch Bishop still
siArrrS to his statement that the Roman
Catholic church newer permits It's spIritu-
Al teachings /" interfere with the duty of
aiy uf H. members, ~ citizens. But this
action Of England looks rs il she was deter
miurI to think otherwise, and no doubt
her fears have been brought about by so
mauy prominent members of her nobility
embracing the Roman Catholic faith. At
ANY rate Mr.. GLADSTONE has started
WIN, promises To be an extensive discus
sion, and one that will be- watched with
tbr greatest interest by all christendom.
Already the discussion has been entered
into here Archbishop BAILEY, Of Baltl-
more, has taken up his cudgel, and gives
Mr. GLADSTONE severe religious drub-
b.ng. lie claims that his (GLApsToNE'S)
assertion i. utterly false; that the church
leave, the question Of civil authority just
whore the New Testament leaves it. He
j, very bitter and says that GLADSTONE

be- feels more like pulling his nos" than
answering him politely A full report
OF hi letter appears in our telegraphic
columns. Further discussion in our own
country will, doubtless, follow.
