Avoiding a Middleman.

A lodge of our grange friends in
Clayton county had need of barrel of
good whisky for domestic and medicinal
purposes, and were rightfully determin-
ed to avoid the monopoly prices of
middlemen in purchasing. So a COM
mittee was delegated to come to Du-
buque and purchase it of one of our
wholesale houses, which they did on
reasonable terms, and took it home on
the cars. On the day of its arrival the
members of the grange repaired with
their stone jugs to the house of the head
Granger, where the barrel was stored,
and the liquor was distributed among
them, each paying for his share at the
whols sale rate at which it was purchas-
ed. This was we'll enough as far as it
went, bat the next day Collector of
Internal Revenue, who had been scent
ing the flavor of the good spirits from
afar, pounced upon the head Granger
for retailing whisky without a license,
and threatened to place him under ar
rest unless he complied with the re-
quirements of the Internal Revenue law
in this regard, and he was compelled to
pay S25 or $50 TO get rid of the gentle
man and his unpleasant exposition OF
what Uncle Sam provides. i Dubuque

National [" Honor"

At a peace meeting held at Cooper
Institute, that distinguished and emil
nent divine, Chancellor Howard Crosby,
presided. In his ope ming address he
forcibly and eloquently inveighed
against the fashion of making boys ad-
mire tyrants and warriors by painting
them in our histories in Colour de rose.
Boys, he said, should be taught the
truth, that wars are cursed things and
of the devil, and that Caesars and Napo-
Icons are simply tigers let loose.
All the great wars that desolated the
earth at various times were sustained
and maintained to their bloody end by
so-called honor, a sentiment which in
this Interpretation was only synonym
for crime. A nation sins, and, rather
than acknowledge it's error, it persists
in it to the end. This feeling of
"hcnor" was the fruitful source of in
Vulnerable outrages. He condemned
the homage accorded to great military
heroes as highly injudicious. He spoke
of the intrigues of the Third Napoleon
which occasioned death and misery to
millions. He counseled the honor OF
peace and good will among men as most
conducive to the advancement Of
Christianity.

POmpeii.

Another discovery has recently been
made at Pompeii of skeleton-one'
more perfect than yet discovered. 1t is
a man, with marked features and re-
markably large ears, position recum-
bent. with only one hand under the
cheek. Travellers who have visited
Pompeii recently will remember the bod
les preserved there in the small mu-
scum near the entrance. They are not
skeletons, but perfect human figures,
displaying in one case, with terrible
truth, the agony of death. They are the
Mother. and the Daughter, lying so
near together that they make but one
figure, and ill one glass case. The
features and general appearance of the
"Slave'' are SO marked that il would
be impossible to think him anything
else /; and there is the body of the wo-
man, whose lovely hand and arm pro-
claim her gentle birth. These are
painful yet interesting relics of past
and terrible tragedy.

An Editor Who is Deaf.

We thought everybody III the State
knew that we are deaf, but once in
while we find one who is not aware of
the fact. A female book peddler came
to the Office the other day. She wished
to dispose of book. She was alone in
this world, and had no one to whom she
could turn for sympathy or assistance
hence we should buy her book. She was
unmarried, and had no manly heart into
which she could pour her suferings,
therefore we ought to invest in her book.
She had received liberal education,
and could talk French like native We
could not, in consequence, pay her less
than 50 for a book. We had listened
attentively, and here broke in with ::
"What did you say? We're deaf.
She started in loud voice and went
through her rigmarole. When she had
finished, We went and got roll of pa
per, and made it into a speaking
trumet, placed one end to our ear, and
told her to proceed. She nearly broke
blood vessel in her effort to make her
self heard. She commenced "I am
alone in this world -" cit doesn't
make the slightest difference to us. We
are husband and father. Bigamy is
not allowed in this State. We are not
eligible to proposals. sob, what
fool the man is, she said in low tone,
then at the top of her voice, 81 don't
want to marry you, 1 want to sell
book" This last sentence was howled.
"We don't want a cook" we remarked
blandly "our wife does the cooking,
and she won't allow as good-looking a
woman as you to stay in the house five
minutes. She is very jealous" She
looked at us in despair. Gathering her
robes about her, giving us glance of
contempt, she exclaimed "I do be-
lieve that if 300-pounder were let off
alongside that deaf fools head he'd
think somebody was knocking at the
door," You should have heard her slam
the door when she went out. We heard
that.-Santa Clara (Cdt.) Echo.

Historical Items.

HE language of France was first in
troduced into England by William /. in
1865. Law pleadings were changed
from French to English in the reign of
Edward ILL.,, 1862.
THE hearths of the early Britons were
fixed In the center of their halls. The
fireplace, originally, was perhaps moth
ing more than large stone depressed
below the level of the ground to receive
the ashes.
FUNERAL games are mentioned by
most early writers. Among the Romans
they consisted of professions and MGR
tai combats of gladiators around the
| funeral pile. They were finally abol-
ished by Claudius. A tax was laid on
funerals in England i'll 1893.
DIALs were invented by Anaximander.
$50 B. G. The first dial OF the sun in
Rome was placed on the Temple of
Quirinus by l.. Papirius Curror, when
time was divided into hours. In the
times of the Emperors almost every
palace and public building had sun

HISTORY informs US that the product
of the silk-worm was first utilized in
China 4, 515 years ago, through the en-
couragement of the Empress Si-hug-
Chi, to whom is attributed the invention
of silk stuffs. The secret of silk-worm
culture was finally stolen from China,
and ultimately spread all over the globe,
for twenty years, however, the Chinese
kept the secret faithfully; death was
the penalty which any one incurred who
attempted to impart knowledge of it
to any outside nation, and their from
tiers were guarded closely to prevent
the secret from being carried abroad
THE coffin in which the body of Rich
ard Ill. was placed afterward did SER
vice as a horse-trough. During the
battle of Bosworth Field he received
several wounds, each of which would
have proved mortal. His armor was so
broken and his features were so defaced
that he was hardly to be recognized
when dragged from beneath heap OF
slain. The body, perfectly naked, with
a rope round the neck, was flung across
horse like the carcass of a calf, and
was thus carried in triumph to Leices--
ter. 1t was exposed for two days in the
Town Hall, and then buried without
ceremony in the Gray Friar's Church.
At the destruction of the religious.
homes the remains were thrown out, and
the coffin, which was of stone, was con-
verted into watering-trough at the
White Horse Inn.

Religious Statistics.

The number of church edifices in
this country in 1870 was GO, 0S2, against
SO, O61 in 1850, which is an increase OF
about 70 per cent. in twenty years. The
increase In the Methodist churches has
been about this figure that of the Ca
tholic is over 200 per cent. The census
of 1870 puts the valuation of all church
property at $3.50, 000, 0c0, but it is GER
tainly double that, or about S70O,OOO,'
600. In valuation the Methodists rank
first, and the Catholics next, both hay-

Some Railroad Figures.

Some roads have a six-foot gauge,
others feet two inches. The stand
ard gauge is 4 feet 81 inches. Narrow
gauge roads are generally 3 feet. Roads
have however, been constructed with

now in operation in this country having
only single track. And one is being
built having wooden track, with the
wheels of the engine and cars all made

is The Brothers of the Christian Schools"
When Mr.. Rice prepared to establish a
branch of the institute in Ireland, he and
his associates accepted the constitution and
rules of the French brethren, but declined
ever to leave Ireland. The members of the
parent congregation are bound to go to any
land whittier the Superior directs them.
Hence the Christian Brothers in Ireland
and Britain, though substantially branch
of the Brotherhood of the Christian Schools,
are under separate and Independent ju-
risdiction. 1t is to be observed, therefore,
that when any one alludes to the Christian
Brothers in America as having upwards of
80. 600 pupils under their care, he speaks of
only single brotherhood, that of the
Christian Schools, and the 10000 pupils are
but fraction of the whole number of
American Catholic youth who are now in
structed by the members of kindred con-
gregations. OF the whole number of Ca
tholic common schools in the United States,
or of the aggregate number of names upon
their rolls, we cannot give precise esti-
mate; but the following summary will be
found approximately correct:

when requested to show his warrant. The
Countess Steinlein was probably singled
| out for arrest because she illuminated her
apartment, near the Trinita die Monti,
over the steps leading from the Piazza di
Spagna. on the occasion of the Pope's fiesta.
Her windows were then broken by some
roughs, and the police at first abused her;
but eventually apologized for not having
brought up soldiers to protect her. She
was on Friday accused of organizing meet
ings to create tumult and disturbance.
When arrested in the Colosseum she was
surrounded by her friends, and was accom-
panied to the police Office by some ladies,
among whom were several EngIishwomen
namely, Miss Foljambe, Mrs. Martin, Mrs.
Vansittart, and Mrs. Sutcliffe. They were
asked to drive in their carriages to the
Questura, but refused, and went thither on
foot. At the Questura process was drawn
up and signed by the Countess Steinlein
and her son. The Delegate informed the
Countess, that if che again was trouble
some she would be conducted to the
frontier. AS this lady had been guilty
of no crime whatever, these proceed
lngs against her seem arbitrary and
tyrannical, and also illegal. The Catholic
religion is that of the State, and it is no
offence before the law to kneel down in the
Colosseum and say prayers. But the pre-
sent rulers of Italy are masters of the
churches and of the Colosseum, and wish

Tho Late Capt. v. M. Byrnes, of Mobile.
lFron tho Rcpiatcr of March A.

| IFron tho Register of March
In the death Of this gentleman, who was
taken last night to his final place of rest
Mobile has lost one of her noblest citizens
fondest father, society one of the brightest
examplars of purity of life, and Religion
one of her most pious children.
Capt. Fincente M. Byrnes, who had
hardly reached his thirty eighth year, was a
native of Pensacola, the scion of one of
those noble Irish exilcs who-fleeing the
prosecutions of their fanatical conquerors-
had-many generations past-sought re-
fuge and protection for their faith under
the. lilies of France or the Towers of Cas-
tile and finally conquered an honorable
name in the New World.
Devoted, from early boyhood, to COM
mercial pursuits, young Byrnes soon &C.
CURED those regular and intelligent
business habits which so prominently dis
tinguished him in after life, and secured to
him the respect and the confidence of all
who knew him. Having married at an
early age, war found him in Texas, the
trusted agent of an important commercial
firm but the voice of his native South
spoke In louder accents than any interested
motive, and although his slender frame
could hardly be expected to bear the IA
tgues OF military life, he forced his way,
amidst prlvatons and porils, to his adopted
home In Alabama, and at once entered the
service of the Confederate States, whore.
by his intelligence, his energy, and powers
of organization, he soon became one of
their most truly officers.
Alter the fall of that cause, which never
would have fallen, lad all the sons of the
South been as true, and devoted as he.
Capt. Byrnes resumed, il the leading firm
of A: j. lngersoll & Co., the confidential
position he had conquered by his brilliant
business qualifications, his industry, and
his sterling integrity, and soon afterwards
the liberal and grateful head of that firm
having re warded his valuable services with
n partners interest in it's affairs.
OF tho private life of Capt. Byrnes-a
life SO pure, so gentle, 50 holy--none can
speak without the feelings of the sweetest
emotions and the flood CT burning and bit
ter tears shed by his family will never
wash out his memory from their hearts,
plous, unassuming but profoundly de-
yout son of the Catholic Church, Cant. |
Lyrncs had long been prepared to meet
death as the ust ever meet it, with clear
conscience and n humble submission to the
will of God, and, as his mortal remains Law
before the sacred altar, and as the eloquent
words of Father O'Callahan fell in silvery
accents upon our ears, we felt that what
was loss to earth was gain to Heaven.

Although, as has been stated, the main
purpose of the Brothers of the Christian
Schools is that which their name implies
viz, the Christian education of youth
their zeal, their devotion and self sacrifice
are by no means limited to that one sphere.
These virtues were eonspicuously shown in
the heroic part which the Brothers acted
during the recent Franco Prussian conflict.
A simple ad faithful narrative of their SER
vices through that period of disaster, dan
