BAILEY, of the Danbtry Nelcs, relates a
story Of an American in London who
could not find in any of the London shops
genuine Yankee chewing tobacco. He was
an inveterate chewer, and was nearly
driven to distraction at not being able to
find the weed. Finally he called upon the
American Minister, and asked for a chew!
That gentleman informed him that he did
not use the stuff in any but cigar form.
The disappointed man sailed for home the
next day. This recalls the old lady who
called upon Mr.. Washburn' in Paris and
asked to look at the Brooklyn Directory!

CHANGES IN A LIFET1dE.-Mr. J. Bamber,
whose death we recorded last weak, the father
of several priests of that name, was born at
Manchester in 1894. 1t is remarkable what o
change he lived to witness in the religious
aspect of his native town. When he entered
into life there was only one poor chapel in
Manchester, on the first floor of building,
hidden in q small back street now there are
twenty churches and chapels, many Of them
very large and beautiful edifices. One solitary
priest-old Father Broomhead -suficed to
supply the spiritual wants, not only of the
town, but of the neighborhood for many miles
round now there are fifty in Manchester and
Stafford, and within the circumference of twelve
miles there are no fewer than ninety priests
actively employed in the work of the Mission.
Th Bambers, of Lancashire, are an ancient
fSnily who were settled at " The Moor" near
Roulton, in the Fylde, at the period of the Re-
t3rmation. They suffered greatly for the Cath
'lio faith, to which they steadfastly adhered;
and one of the family, the Rev. Edward BAN.
Der, had the honor of giving his life for the
cause Of religion in the reign of Charles 1. He
was hanged, drawn, and CHARTERED at Lancas-
Ter Castle, in 1916, for being Catholic priest
who had taken orders beyond the seas-Lor-

LETTER FROM HOuHA.

HoUMA, La, January 20, 1874.
Editor Morning Star:
In view of the past state of affairs in our
parish, think It proper to give your readers
D little information on the subject.
The late troubles in our parish originated as
follows: 1t seems that on tho 9Th of January n
mass meeting was held at Little Zion--a church
for colored people, situated few miles below
Houma. There the negroes were harangued
by their political leaders in our parish in q
manner anything but commendable. They
were advised not to work for $l3 per month,
and even to compel those who might work for
that sum to leave the fields. They also formed
an association, under the title of the Labor
ers' Association"
There were negroes working at different
plantations, who were driven away by bands
of mutineers. They also proceeded to Mr.
Minors place, few miles above Houma, where
Bhey were repealed by force 1t was then that
beversi prominent planters telegraphed to
Gov. Kellogg for troops. Troops, however,
Ibid not arrive until two days afterwards. The
asrival of the troops guieted our noisy neigh
bors.
Last Saturday q grand mass meeting was
held in Houma, when the negroes were ad-
dressed by the leaders of the radical party Of
our parish. It seems that their speeohss quiet
ed the minds of their followers. About thir-
teen of the ringleaders were captured and
conveyed to New Orleans yesterday, in COM
pany with the troops, who left our town
crowned with the laurels of victory.
At present all is quiet, although labor on
the plantations has not yet been resumed.
Respectfully, CD.

plain why so many lying kilograms and
correspondences hostile to the Pope and to
the Catholics of Switzerland, Germany,
and Italy, appear almost every day in
some organs of the public Press. This
way of encouraging persecution and op-
Protestant (Pressense) in these words
"The religious policy of the German EN-
pire receives in England fluctuations which
we take leave to regard as scandaIous."
"Whilst such efforts are made to circulate
fslsehood, and to render it popular, it is
fortunate that we can learn the full and
simple truth from the lips of the Pope
himself. In his Encyclical he gives an
account of the sacrileges committed in
Rome, and of the expulsion of religious
men and women from their peaceful homes,
and of the many outrages heaped upon
himself, and on dignitaries of the Church
he also describes the barbarity with which
learned and holy Bishops and priests have
been treated in Switzerland, and puts
grateful way in which the Catholics of Ger
many, after having rendered signal services
to their country in the late war, have been
treated by the German Imperial Govern
ment. Indeed, the whole object of the
Ministers of that empire appears to be to
bring down the Catholic Church to the
level of any human political Institution
to assume to Themselves, PrOtestants or
free thinkers as they are, The right of ap-
pointing Bishops aud parisL priests, and of
reducing them to the condition of baiGiffs |

Why Attempt to Misrepresent Oul
Insurance Companies.

Mr Baker, in his effort in advocacy Of estab
hshing Paid Fire Department in this city, under.
took to compare the rate Of insurance pro rata -
Ii proportion to the population-iu cities where
there were paid departments with cities where
the volunteer system existed But he failed ut
terly for the sufficient that the paid system
has not been in existence long enough to test the
difference. lie did not even name any cities ex-
cept New York, Philadelphia and Wilmington
And his speech was q mere piece of defamation,
made up Of assertions which he had no authority
for mixing, and in fact was an indirect way ol
imposing falsehood of upon the community
Let Mr.. Baker compare the charges for insur-
aoce here with the charges IN New York, Boston,
or Chicago upon like property for which insur-
ance companies have been stated here and there
TO do, and be viii find that the Wilmington Insur-
auce companies are much lower while they are
also safe. NO insurance companies have been
started In this city for the special purpose of n-
suring merchandise or stock When Mr.. Baker
attempts to make q comparison he should choose
cities OF nearly equal population, and not under
take to compare Wilmington with its 5000 with
one city Of 99U,000 and another of C00,00O. Our
ccropauies were started TO insure real estate main
ly, and in this line they insure the same class Of
property at per centagc lower than it IS insured
IN either OF the ciIes named In the commercial
cities companies TO insure stool. and merchandise
have been in existence many years, and like the
marine insurance companies, at times made enor-
nous quantities Of money notwithstanding CON-
petition has reduced the rates very greatly,

An Easy Way to Make MONEY

few years aeo Clique ofRadicals in Washing
ten, seeing that they could control the votes OF
-any ihousanls Of negroes ana other thousands

great speculation by changing the systsm Of
government and getting Congress to foot the
bills Tor vast Improvements. Accordingly the
best located real estate lots were bought up by the
acre, and many lots were sold off to influential
nen IN and out OF Congress and about the
white House and Departments. and then vast
improvements and extension of streets were pro.
lected, under which these lots were increased in
value from one to two and even tve hundred
per cent These improvements cost $4,000, 900

why, democrats Of Delaware, you are not
fools "-N.lford Netc,.
No! We care not fools" The wisdom the
Democrats have shown in preventing The Radical
party from securing control OF the State is eyi-
dence enough on this score, and the question need
not have been asked. The Democrats would be
fools II they voted with Lohand's negroes for the
Radical ticket. For although Lohand sold his
own negroes south before the war and pocketed
the money for them at least, he now fsncies he can
make more money out OF the negroes whose tax
receipts he has secured than be ever could from
the labor of the slaves that he parted with before
the war There are Radicals who carry budgets
