Vanderbilt,s Birthday.

Commodore Vanderbilt was 81 years
old Thursday. He spent the day in his
Fourth street office, taking his usual drive
in the afternoon. A New York Sun re-
porter visited him in the evening to in
quire about a favorable time for selling a
few thousands in New York Central.
"This," said the commodore, slowly and
solemn,y,as he entered the drawing room,
''is my birthday" '1ndeed," said the
reporter. 'Do you think the preferred

The Prince,s Visit to India.

It is now finally decided, SAYS Lon.
don correspondent, that the Prince of
Wales is TO 60 to India. It is understood
that this conclusion has not been arrived
at without much doubt and hesitation,
and that, ,.even after the announcement of
the intended journey had got into the
papers, the whole question was reconsid
cred in consequence of the warnings and
remonstrances which were received by
the government from competent advisers.
Those who know India best condemn the
project as rash and foolhardy. It will
be impossible for the Prince to travel in.
cogn!to. There will be endless embar-
rassments as to presents, precedence, and
all the other complications Of oriental
etiquette. Then there are all the per-
sonal risks which the Prince will have to
encounter, not only from the climate but
from native fanaticism. The expenses of
the journey will also be extremely heavy,
and can hardly fail to give rise to some
very untoward discussions in Parliament.
The Prince has already allowed it to be
proclaimed that his income is insufficient
to cover his regular expenses, and that
he would be every year in debt to large
amount were it not that he draws upon
his accumulated capital, a process which
must, Of course, before long, come to an
end. Under these circumstances, it is ob-
viously out Of the question that he
should bear himself tho large additional
outlay which will be incurred by this
trip; and it will therefore hav. to be de-
syed out of the public funds. It ia
said that the difficulty is to be solved by
making the Indian Government pay the
bill; but this could not prevent discus.

A very touching little incident came to
my knowledge the other cay. Not far
from my home there is family of four
little children who have recently been
bereaved Of their mother. In an case
the loss Of a parent is a great afliction,
but when that parent is a mother, and
such one as Mrs. L.. the loss is vel |
nigh irreparable. A Christian woman Of
eminent piety, she daily devoted herself.
invalid thoug h she was, to the religious
training other children. Why she should
have been removed from the care of those
little ones, who had such urgent need Of
her, is one Of the inscrutable mysteries
that SO often puzzle us in the dealings Of
an all-wise Providence. But He who do
eth all things well saw fit to take her to
Himself from the sphere Of her usefulness,
and leave to the bereaved husband the
task Of finishing, as we'll as he might, the
good work begun and carried on by her
thus far.
A short time ago business called tho
father to neighboring city for the night.
and, for the first time, the little ones
found themselves seated at supper without
father or mother. There was Nellie, the
oldest Of them, but nine years old; Birdie
two years younger; Will, fino boy of
five; and active, irreprcssibla little three.
year.old Harry. When supper was over,
Birdie said:

d. not know how to have them as papa
does"
'But, Nellie" persisted the little girl,
"you might read chapter, and we can all
say Our Father.'"
20 yes. We can do that said Nellie.
So with baby Harry keeping very still.
and the others listening attentively, the
sweet young voice read chapter from the
inspired words Of Holy Writ. And then
the four little motherless ones knelt down
and four childish voices floating up to the
throne of grace bore the words of our
Lords beautiful prayer-that perfect
prayer, so simple that child can under

Prof. Riley, the State Entomologist OF
Missouri, is of opinion there will be no
eastern advance of the locusts and that
those already in the Missouri Valley Will
gradually disappear. Specimens sent to
him by alarmed people in other sections
who thought the locusts were upon them,
prove to be nothing more dangerous than
the common grasshoppers.

Comforting the Palliuxn.

The ceremony of conferring the palli.
um on Archbishop Henni was performed
at Milwaukee Thursday. The doors Of
the Cathedral were opened at 8 o'clock,
and the seats were instantly filled. The

was then celebrated. Bishop Heiss of La
Crosse was celebrant, and Rev. NJ. Kun

deacon. Rev. NJ. Wislamer of Burling-
ton, and P. j. Donahane, of tho Cathe.
dral, acted as Archbishop Henni's assis.
tants. At the close Of mass, Bishop
Ryan Of St. Louis delivered = very elo-
qucnt sermon from the text: ''He that
abideth in me will learn much truth, and
l will abide in him." Bishop Henni was
then .robed in his arch-episcopal robes.
The Rev. Father Me'upin ascended
the pulpit and read in
Latin, English and German,
the bull Of the Pope comforting the in.
sigma Of the pallium upon John Martin
Henni, Bishop'of Milwaukee, and raising
him to the dignity of an archbishop.
Bishop Hciss, the senior bishop, read the
brief which delegated him to confer the
pallium upon Archbishop Henni. Mon
signor Roncetti, the ablegate, advanced
to the foot of the archbishop's throne,
and in a lengthy speech in Latin delivered
his mission as delegated by His Holiness.
Archbishop Henni then read his accept

THE PALL1uM

Monsignor Roncetti, and placed on the
gospel side Of the! altar, in salver of the

There it remained until taken up by
Bishop Heiss and conferred upon Arch

the foot of the altar. lie then ascended
the steps of the altar. The archbishop's s
cross was brought in, and the choir burst
forth into loud chorus. Occasionally q
piano passage was gwen, during which

could be heard, all of which produced q
very solemn effect.

IN THE EVENING
there was grand torch-light procession
of all the Catholic societies in the city.
1t was two miles in length, and there
were five thousand torches. After
marching through the principal streets
the procession halted in front of the
archbishop's residence, when there was a
salute Of guns and ringing of the bells
of all the Catholic churches in the city.
Addresses were read to the papal able

made. These exercises were interpersed
with music. At their conclusion the pro-

Saved Grain Enough in the Bfnders'

Warsaw, July l8, 1874.
St. Paul Harvester Works.-This is to
certify that I have used an Edward
Harvester two seasons, and have cut 300
acres, and only used two horses at any
time.
I consider the draft as light as any
Harvester l know Of, and it is superior to
any Harvester for cutting and elevating
grain. My boy 10 years old drove it.
My boys say they would rather bind on
the Edward than the Marsh, az they have
worked on both. Last season we gather
ed in the binders box over one bushel of
shelled oats to the acre that we famed in
the wind, and we collected large guam
tity Of short heads and bound them in
the bundles-enough h to seed the ground.
The binders box is a great saving at
tachment to the Edward over any other
Harvester, in my opinion. would rec
ommend farmers to buy the Edward in
preference to any other Harvester.

Scalils and Burns.

Halls Journal of Health gives the fol-
loving advice on the treatment of scslds
and burns: "On the instant of the &C.
cident, plunge the part under cold water.
This relieves the pain in a second, and
allows all hands to become COMPOSED. If
the part cannot be kept under water,
cover it over with dry -four, an inch deep
or more. In many instances nothing
more is needed after the -four: simply
let it remain until it falls off. when new
skin will be found under. In several
cases. while the part injured is under wa
ter, simmer leek or two in an earthen
vessel, with half their bulk of hogs lard,
until the leeks are soft, then strain
through muslin rag. This makes a
greenish'colored ointment, which, when
cool, spread thickly on linen cloth. and
apply it to the I'M jured part. If there
are blisters let out the water. When
the part becomes feverish and uncom-
Portable, renew the ointment, and rapid,
painless cure will be the result, if the
patient, in the meanwhile, lives exclu-
sively on fruits, coarse bread and other
light, loosening diet.''
What blessing to household is a
merry cheerful woman-one whose spir-
