Der, 1864, when gold was at 260,
four small houses situated near
Fourth avenue, in the neighborhood
of Yolkville, were purchased at the
rate of $4,000 apiece, making
100000, which at that time repre-.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN. "Burleigh'
of the Boston Journal sends that
paper the following incident In the
early life of the martyred Presi:
dent:
"Mr. Lincoln, before he moved to
Springfield, was postmaster in q
small western town. The Office was
poor, and Lincoln was poorer than
the Office. 1t was known that he
was very hard up, and it was also
known that tho Washington agent
was in town to collect the little sum
due the General POst.Ollice. "A
friend, thinking Lincoln might be
embarrassed, came down to the of.
lice to loan him the sum necessary
to meet the demand. Mr.. Lincoln
thanked him, and said he did not
need any loan. While the two were
talking, the gentleman came in.
The sum due was less than 800.
Lincoln went to his desk aud took
out an old stocking, and turned tho
coin on the table. 1t was counted
out, and met the demand exactly.
Well it might, for it was not only
the exact amount due, but the idcn.
teal money itself that Lincoln had
taken in; Old.fashioned Rix dollars,
pistarcens, sixpences, Old-fashioned
cents and all were there. II never
use money that belongs to other
people," said Lincoln, and that res
olution did much toward making
him President of the United States.

ed. The case was given to the ju.
ry June %, consequently, the jury
had delibcrated nine days. One of
the Jurors said to Il Times reporter
that it was no fault of the jury that
they had not reached verdict.
They had worked hard upon the
case, and used every legitimate
means to bring about unanimous
conclusion. The balIotings, of
which there were between fifty and
sixty, had varied considerably, es-
pccially during the first four days.
At one time the jury were evenly
divided, and at others the number
of votes for Tilt0n was reduced to
less than three. On the first day it
was proposed by the jurors in the
Bcecler interest not to allow the
production of any CT the evidence
in the case, not even of the notes
taken by their own number. This
was opposed by the jurors for the
plaintiff, who thought the evidence
and the Judges charge would ma
terially assist them in their labors.
For some time the issue was in
doubt, but at length the majority
consented. Throughout the entire
eight days nothing of moment oc.
cured to mar the general good feel
ing. At times the debate grew warm
and animated, but nothing like ac-
rimony was visible. Foreman Car
penter had acted from first to last
in perfect fairness and good faith,
and though firmly fixed in his opin-
ion, showed an equal respect for the
opinions of others.
Toward the close, when it became
plain that All agreement was impOs
sihle, the jurors relinquished tEeir
to convince each other,
ard for the last day or two the con-
diti0n of affairs remained unchang-
ed. The jury at the time of dis
charge stood 8 in favor of Beecher
and 3 for TiltOn. 1t is to be hoped
that the muddy waters will now be
to settle, and that the pa
pers will be filled with something
besides the "Beecher Trial" "Give
rs a rest"

in the safe, were 81, 800 in unsigned
bills, which had been received from
Washington yesterday afternoon,
subsequently to the locking OF the
safe. They are tens and twenties,
and the numbers run from OIL
to $50. They stole these.
Being satisfied that MIR. King
had told them the truth, and that
all efforts to open the safe were fu.
tile, the burglars returned again ia
Mr.. Kings house, leaving every.
thing open behind them. Arriving
there. they bound Mr.. King beside
his wife and child +; put a cricket
under the child's feet and a mat I'M
der Mrs, Kings; got them each u
glass of water; helped themselves
to a lunch of bread and milk, and
then departed.
1t was evidently their intention
to prevent an alarm being given
till they could get some hours start
of pursuit. But by pulling and
twisting, Mr.. King, who is a small
sized man, and quite supple, snc-
ceeded in releasing himself in the
course of half an hour, and with his
hands still Shacklcl behind him, he
undid his family, accompanied them
to Mr.. WIN. Il. Whitcomb's house,
and thence went to DR.. Braley's,
the President of the bank, and
gave the alarm.
Mr.. Braley woke up Mr.. L. II. AL
dricll, one OF the directors, on his
way to the bank: and MIR. Whit
comb, while coming past the GENE
terry from his house, to the bank,
discovered the tracks ola team at
the cemetery gate. This gave a
clue, and upon investigation it was
discovered that the burglars had
hitched up their teams back of the
hearse- house in the cemetery, and
chat they probablu had one double
and one single team. 1t is also be-
Iieved that there were five of them
one who watched the horses, and
four who did the business.
Mr.. King says that the leader
and two others were men OF middle
size, Americans, dressed in double.
breasted sacks, and very courteous
in their bearing. Tie fourth, ap-
parently an undeTstrapper, WAS an
freshman, of large size and rougher
in his manner, so much so that the
others rebuked him once or twice.
In coming from the bank, they asked
King what other banks in this sec
ton had cllronometer locks. He
mentioned the Montpelier banks,
and they thcreupOn seemed to be
sadder, if not wiser men.
Mr.. King saw by the clock that it
was ten minutes past one when the
burglars rebound him after their
failure. 1t was hardly two when
he got to DR.. Bralev's house. Mr..
l.. T. Aldrich went to Montpelier
Immediately after, and telegraphed
the news North and South.
Deputy Sheriff Avelill followed
one wagon track in the direction of
Williamstowm, and Constable Gil
man Jackson followed another to
wards Washington. Mr.. Averill, be-
coming satisfied that his men had
gone across the country and joined
the others, retraced his course, and
the burglars are now being closely
followed in the direction of Brad
ford.

His merces are great) than into the hands of
men," chose the pestilence, and had the
anguish of seeing seventy thousand men fall
victims to the justice of God.
Terrible example truly! And yet who can
donbt that God is less offended by the fearful
sins Of our day than He was in those primitive
times Of great crimes and yet greater faithf
We should then strive also to avert the anger
Of God from our country, our fellow-men and
ourselves by doing penance in the way pre-
scribed by His divine Spouse, the Holy Catholic
Church.
Let ell Catholics, all earnest Christians, pro-
cure this little volume and learn the true
meaning of the Jubilee, and then they will
enter upon its Observance with more faith, zeal
and devotion.
Yes, An Indulgence suggests to the true
Catholic only thoughts of repentance, humility,
atonement, love of God! Even Longfellow,
our much admired although most inconsistent
poet, felt this truth when in another poem he
wrote:
And in some cloistered school Of peDitence
m G
The sidewalks of our city, as they re-echo
with the footsteps of those who desire humbly
and contritely to do penance for their SINS may
then, with the blessing of God, prove also to be
the path to Heaven.
We trust the unknown author of this little
pamphlet, who writes with the ease of q
scholar and the learning of theologian, will
also reap his reward from those Just Hands
which bless all we do for love of Truth and
Justice.
The book itself may be had at any of our
Catholic bookstores for the trifing sum of ten
cents.

and Of the highest grade of excellence. In
no other way can the real Catholic instinct
of education be satisfsd, and in no other
way can the fatal attraction of the State
schools be neutralized.
For our part, however, We do not expect
any general improvement through this
means. Whenever the great religious Orders
take root in this country and spread their
venerable branches over it's waste places,
then we may expect education to be thrown
open to all, not only free of charge, but free
Of political intrigue, and free of all those
extrinsic causes of agitation and dissatis-
faction which must always paralyxe the
efficiency of State Schools.

Church as conceded. If God has promul
gated q code of morals, the State, as much
az the individual, is bound to recognize
and maintain it; if Sod has constituted an
ultimate spiritual tribunal to decide on
questions arising under that code, the
State, as much az the indiv idual, is bound
to accept and abide by the decisions of that
tribunal. The Church is the only body
that claims to DO such a tribunal there
fore, if this claim be valid, the State must
recognize the Church. 1t must recognise
her "a the supreme interpreter on earth of
morals, and acknowledge her authority in
that field as paramount. This recognition
of the Church is union of Church and
State. Is there any man of sane mind who
can deny the necessity of such recognition
of such union-after conceding the in
fallibility of the Church in moralsf And
yet there are American Catholics, of sound
sense on the dollar question, who claim to
believe in the infallibiity of the Church,
and yet protest against the recognition of
that infallibility by the State-that is, if
they know what they are talking about
when they reject the union of Church and
State.
On the subject of voting, Father Hem
ming uses this language:
1t is the duty of every Catholic when no
goes to the polls, to vote for the candidate who
is not opposed to the Catholic religion-to vote
for the candidate who is not an enemy of the
Church and it is the duty of Catholics to set
their face against those candidates who are the
enemies of our holy Church and the enemies of
the Catholic faith.
Now, our complaisant anonymous Catho-
lics-and some who are not Anonymous
would parapbrase this. They would say
Catholics ought to vote for their enemies
and oppressors, and they ought to turn
with horror from the idea of supporting
their friends, for fear the Protestants would
part we incline to Father Henning's policy
rs more candid, more sensible and more
manly. He doesn't say, "vote for a candi-
date because he is Catholic" but, "vote
for the candidate who is not an enemy of
the Catholic religion, that is, of course,
if there be an issue before the public where
the interests of that religion are at stake.
We hardly think the Times would advise
us to modify these principles, and we be-
lieve that our neighbor is mistaken in sup
posing that some indiscreet priests have
been evincing a " zeal beyond knowledge"
in this and kindred matters. Priests gen.
orally know the doctrines of the Church
pretty well, but they are often as badly
misunderstood and as M uch maligned as is
the case with Father Henning in this in
stance.
