AN INFIDEL KNEELs TO THE POPE.-C.
w. Stoddard has written communication to
the San Francisco Chronicle, in which, after
proclaiming himself an In6del, he says he in
voluntarily went down on his knees in the Pa
pal presence, and also adds that that eminent
parsonage, leaning on his (Stoddard's) shoulder
remarked to his comrade: "Ah, this is an
American ~ II was never SO datterd in my
life." Now we doubt not the Pope is highly
susceptible old gentleman, and mayhap subject
to fattery; but still, we think, if Mr.. Stoddard
had measured his ears before writing, he could
easily have found word more descriptive OF
his own genus than "In6del." We quote:
There is something marvellously magnetic in
the atmosphere of this wonderful Pope. l de-
fy any man who is a man to stand IN that au-
dence chamber and not feel an instructive de-
sire to 90 down on his knees, and, of course,
the very next minute down he goes 1t is not
necessary to be Catholic; it is not necessary
even to feel particular reverence for the Pope,
as YOU would for any man the purity of whose
| life has never been attacked by his enemies. 1t
is the indscribable something that possesses
you the moment he enters the room and holds
YOU fascinated so long as you are in his pres
ence. And then it doesn't leave you at once;
you remember him with a sense of uncommon
pleasure. It is much like the spiritual eleva-
| ton. the delicious calm fellow feels after he
| has made good confession, if you know what
that is, and probably most Of you don't! The
| HOLY Father was not more than ten minutes IN
our room, for there were rooms full OF other
folk anxiously waiting his approach. TO one
he gave his benediction and passed on; to an
other, General of distinction, he spoke rap
idly and with great spirit. and yet he spoke to
this man of war as if he was speaking to
child, son who had merited his fathers love,
and it was charming to witness the intercourse
Some of the gentlemen were introduced by the
proper officer, who learned from their official
document their nationality and the few items
relating to them which might interest his Ho'
liness Then came my turn. Before my pre-
sentation was Immediately recognized, and
with a twinkle in his eye and gracious famil-
arity he leaned on my shoulder and said to oaS my

A sHopDY divine il San Francisco, named
Patterson, proposes to check intemperance by
placing the entire whisky traffic in the hands
of the United States Government, and reduc-
ing the price. The keepers of the dramshops
would then be salaried by the Government.
good whisky would be three cents drink, and
the poorest man in the land could have Jolly
good drunk at least once week; and if Gov
ernment kept books, as all respectable saloon
keepers now do, an occasional bust could be
INDUCED in, and poor candidates could treat
with more frequency even than now. Verify
great is Patterson, and stupidity is his distin-
gushing trait.

and the Order made harmonious a. it is useful
already, and we believe, permanent As no
member receives dollar from the institution
except in case Of sickness, without returning an
equivalent for it, we don't see how the Echo
writer can establish the charge that it is not
benevolent institution. Its works here are all
benevolent. Finally, envy and contention
among temperance people can have no good
efgct. To accomplish the object for which we
understand such societies to be organized, they
must keep their guns constantly trained upon
the enemy. We speak only as member, and
not for the Order of Independent Champions.

To the Editors Of TIE Chronicle:
Thinking that you would like TO
chronicle an article concerning our
peaceful little village, and also of our
community, we proceed to give you
an account of things In general.
For several days past we have had
some very Indictment weather, consist
ing of wind, rain, &c, but the present
Indications bid fair for beautiful
Christmas. The anticipated pleasures
aud enjOyments of Christmas holidays
ere various. The Christian part of our
town desire, by the help of the Lord,
TO hold meeting during holidays,
which, no doubt, would approximate
much nearer the proper ce ebration of
Christmas than "plays," green
corn dauces," &c.
During the last FIVE weeks, revivals
of religion have been held at the Pres
byterian, Methodist aud Baptist
churches, resulting in the conversion
If many souls. The meeting at the
Baptist church, or rather at the COL
lege, was conducted principally by the
students and those connected with the
institution.
President Goforth suspended the
exercises of the college on the evening
OF the Esd. Most of the students have
gone to visit their parents and homes,
aud to spend few days in recreation
from well spent fall term at college.
The attendance during the term lust
past has been the largest since the war,
and it is not thought that the atten-
dance was ever larger in ante 6elttim
days Increased facilities have been
made since last commencement for
the accommodation of students, such
as dOrmitories aud boarding houses.
The day is not far distant when
Messy Greek College will become one
of the leading Institutions of learn
ing in the South. The agent, Rev.
/. b. Kimbrough, who is taking bonds
| for the erection or otherwise securing
a more cOmmodious building, Is in fine
spirits. l must tell some of the CHRoN-
ICIE readers that they must not be-
come scared when they see Il -
coming for he means no harm in
doing so. would say for the benefit
of some, that the exercises of the Col
lege will begin again, January 4th,
| 1875.
Now, Messrs. Editors, having many
other things to tell you, will not at
tempt to tell them now, but reserve
them for another time, as my time and
no doubt my space is very limited.

ing the warp Of piece Of cloth In a
weaver's loom, her little child, In COM

another room where an old army

Cas-, aged about eleven years, took up
the ugly relic of war so conveniently

Wingo by, pulled the trigger. A ter
