The GuibOrd Case-WhY lie Was Refused
Catholic Burial.

AS this case is attracting q great
deal of attention, an explanation Of
it il just now order. Joseph Guibord
was a French Canadian. He though
q Catholic, was member while
living of a Library Company at, Mon
treal, which refused to remove from
it's shelves certain books at the re
quest of the Roman Catholic Bishop
of that city. Guibord was the owner
of lot in the Catholic Cemetery. -
After his death the bishop refused
tho widow permission to bury her
husbands remains in consecrated
ground. The widow appealed to the
courts. Conflicting decisions only
made the matter worse, until finally
the case went the English Privy
Council, and an order has boen pass.
cd directing that the remains oi
Joseph Guibord "be buried in tina,
part of the cemotery in which the re.
mains of Roman Catholics who re.
ceive ecclesiastical buria! are usually
ipterrod." It cost ten thousand dol.
lars to get this decision. A second
attempt is to be made to bury hin
there, and the dispatches this morn
ing indicate that troops will be re.
quired to accomplish it. But for al
that
p How little wrecks it where men lie
When once the moments past;
When the dim and glnzing eye

Simpsons Now Roof.

Down in Tuokahoe, N. j., there is
a man named Simpson, who has q
fla. roof on his house covered with
tiu--so says Max Adler. The roof
got to leaking badly, and it happen.
cd to occur to Simpson that it would
be good thing to cover tho whole
surface with tho material out Of
which concrete pavemonts are made,
in ordor to make it perfectly tight.
A man was accordingly engaged, and
he covered the tin with conoreto to
the depth Of four inches. The curse
Of Tuckahoe is cats. In warm weath.
er millions of these assemble md
hold ratification meetings and re-
hearsals and general synods out in
the baokyards and on Che roofs. In
Tuck ahoe the heat is unusually in-
tense, and Mr.. Simpson was unusu"
ally annoyed by tho animated dis
cussions of tho cats in his neighbor-
hood. The more he "shooed" them
and flung old boots at them tho
more they yelled. Night after night
grew moro terrific, and day by day
Mr.. Simpson observed that the
mysterious catawauling continued
durirg all tho hours Of daylight.
Simpson hadn't o bootjaok or black
ing brush or rolling pin or a
cologne bottle to throw at them.
At last, one moonlight night, the
uproar got to bo so outrageous that
Simpson arose from his bed, deter
mined to ascertain wSat all this
growing meant anyhow 1t ap-
peared to him that the Lvise came
from the top OF the house. Ho went
up into the garret and put his head
out of the trap door. There he
found l96 cats suok fast knee deop
in the concrete, which had been
softcned by the heat. Some of them
had been there four days. The
minute they caught sight Of Simpson
the whole 1876 doubled up their
spines, ruffled up their back hair,
snaked their tails, and gave ono un.
earthly howl, which shook Simpsons
nerves 80 much that he dropped the
trap door and fell down the etep-
ladder on the head of Mrs. Simpson,
who was standing below dressed in o
thing with a frill on it, and armed
with palm.leaf fan and a bed
slat, determined to protect Simpson
to the death. Simpson has since
sold tho house to q man who makes
sausagos and fur tippets, and 1t is
whispered around Tuckahoe that
his actual gains average forty dol
lars a night.

AS Capt. Webb is the greatest

from Dover to Ramsgate, distance
OF eighteen miles, in nine hours. 1t
was 10 the second attempt to cross the

Capt. Boyton succeeded, and in
view of this fact, and Capt. Webb's
previous feats, the Telegraph urged
him to "try again." He did "try

tho appearance Of Capt. Webb. when
stripped for his work, as "very much
that of the old Greek statues Of

mendous chest, q great pair of shoul.

with Heenan, is said to havo bson
about the same build as Capt. Webb.

hard and severe work, "the best type
