A few rods south Of Helena and Just
west of the present overland stage road
where it crosses Dry GulclI, and directly
in the gulch, there stands venerable
pine whose massive lower branches OF
weird and fantastic growth extend twenty
feet or more from the gnarlcd and moss
covered trunk. Years since it lost lis TO

decay, and ere long a clod of vegetable

currcd TO a few rcsolute men that it was
time for a change, and, quietly comforting
with each other, an organization was soon
effected, including several hundred of the
best men in Virginia, Bannock and Helena
Laying their plans cautiously but we'll,

Catholic Accommodation.

In letter to the Toronto Globe,
Catholic Archbishop Lynch says: "Gul-
bord knew that he was excommunlcated,
and refused at death to be reconclled to
hi, church. He that refused the greater,
that is the sacraments of the church,
while living, would refuse the less, that
is the funeral rites. The state should
rather protect the body of the man from
the church rites after death which he re-
fused during life. The excommunica-
,ion of Guibord is better known to the
bishop of Montreal and his priests than
to LAWYERS, even of the priyy council.
But il is asserted that the church can
not cxcommunicatc societies IN giobo.
This is precisely what the church ha'
done and continues to do; as for instance
condemning all secret societies and thost
who belong to them. There are cXcom
munications major and minor, and ex
communications for individuals and socl
cites. Then there are intcrdicts 10
persons and things, but with many q
these we have nothing to do. Thn
Guibord died rcnouncing the sacrament
rather than give upa prescribed society
put him also into the category OF tn
contumacious sinner, for whose bod
Christian burial may also he denied
But you say as Guibord thought himse
right he should get the benefit OF hi
own opinion. This right-priyate juds
ment-we do not recognize in the chnrcl
nor do civil courts either recognize i
You remark also that we can not eXcon
municate persons from reading. This

Offensive People.

If to bc Il good mau and successful
man is offensive to the world at large, 10
be praised is cxasperating. No greater
unkindncSs can bc done to any man than
to praise him much. People generally
will stand moderate compliment paid
to ncighhor while they are LETT to
qualify il, or to admit 1t rs matter OF
generosity or courtesy but praise per-
sisted in will ruin the reputation of any
body. There is nothing more offensive
to the average human being than per
Sistcnt laudation bestowed upon another
To hear man warmly praised is suiii-
cicnt usually to make us hate him and
it is only necessary to have the praise
repeated often enough To make Us desire
to shoot him. Praise is one of the arti-
clcs we would ike to have distributed a
littlc-nOt that we want it, but the OBJ
jcct of it is not the best man-if We know
ourselves. Virtue is a good thing, tenn
pcrancc is a good thing, genius is not
bad thing altogether; hut no man is to
be mentioned 50 many as ten times as
having either of them in possession with
out making his name stencil ana an
oHtnse to the nostrls Of sensitive
world. The true way Of getting along
well in the world is not to make ones |
elf offensive to ones friends by excel
cnce of character and habits Of life, by
success, or by doing anything praise
worthy. Let us strike the average as
nearly as possible. Let us he good icl-
ows rather than good men, and choke
the first man who darcs to ascrihc to us
A single virtue. Let us keep down and
out of sight. All that we do for our
selves, and all that we do for mankind,
only feeds hell with slandcrcrs, and so
hetrays the hascncss Of human nature
that we may well blush to think that we
are members of the human race. -Dr,

ANALYSIS OF THE HUMAN BREATH
An account published in Nature, OF some
experiments made with a view to deter
mine the organic matter OF the human
breath in health and disease, presents
some facts of a peculiarly interesting ma
ture. The breath of eleven healthy, per
sons and of seventeen affected by different
disorders was examined, the persons being
of different sexes and ages, and the time
of dav at which the breath was condensed
VARYING. The vapor of the breath was
condensed in large glass flask surrounded
by ice and salt, at "A temperature OF sew
eral degrees below zero, the mud thu'
collected being then analysed for free am
monia. urea, and kindred substances, also
for organic ammonia. Among the varl-
ous results of this examination may be
mentioned the fact that, in both health
and disease. the free ammonia varied con,
siderably; the variation, however, cCuih
not be connected with the time OF the day,
the fasting, or full condition. Urea was
sought iorin fifteen instances--thrcc heaihy
persons and twelve eases OF disease Du'
It was only found in two cases OF kidney
disease, in one case of diphtheria, and
faint indication of its presence occurIe'
in female suffering from catarrh. 1h'
quantity of ammonia arising from the de
struction of organic matter also varied
possibly from the oxidation Of albumin

New ORLEANS dispatches tells hor-
rible story of the destruction of property
at Galveston by the recent gale and ac-
companying food, and the disaster seems
to be more appalling than those of 1897
and 1851, when the city was partially
submerged under similar circumstances.
Galveston is incsnveniently located for
such catastrophies as that which has
just occurred, but admirably situated
for commerce, at the northeast extremity
of Galveston island, which is very fiat,
d twenty-eight miles long and one
d onc-half to three and onc-half miles
wide, intersected by numerous bayous.
The only remedy against a recurrence
of this desolatiOn would seem to be in
the erection of sea-wall around the
city, Of sufficient strength to resist the
terrific blows of such flood.

took place yesterday at Rome. The
ceremony of comforting the red hat seems
to have been dispensed with, as refer.

the reception of the ring and title. The
ceremony took place in the consstory of
the Vatican, where the Pope first closed
the lips of Cardinal McCloskey with his

them, giving him Il full right to speak in
the consistory. The ring which was
conferred was sapphire ring, that stone
