battle Greek, Mich. Correspondence Chicago
Tribune.l
Last week Mrs. E. Haffey, poor Irish
woman residing in this city, died after a
severe sickness, and because she had been
unable TO pay the assessment made
against her for the support of the Catho.
lie church, the priest refused to officiate
at her funeral. He made a proposition
to her daughters that i@they would pay
him SO and give him the youngest boy
fer a servant, he would permit them to
take the body into the church, and would
give them one candle to burn. This they
could not do. The funeral, unattended
by priest or minister, took place at their
home on Fremont street, and owing to
the sympathy which the facts in the case
had aroused among the neighbors, was at.
tended by many Protestants in that part
OF the city. The eldest daughter officiated
at her own mothers funeral, and standing
at the head Of the coffin, read the Catho.
lie funeral service in voice trembling
with emotion, at the conclusion Of which
her feelings overcame her, and bursting
into tears she gave vent to her sorrow in
sobs and agonizing cries. There was not
a single inmate of the room but what be.
came so affected at the singularly sor-
rowful scene that they shed tears in pro-
fusion. Sadly the coffin was carried to
the hearse, and the procession, consisting
of just one carriage, containing the
meurners, was formed and slowly pro-
ceeded to Oak Hill cemetery, where the
remains Of one who in life was so dear to
them was deposited in the silent tomb,
without having the ceremony performed
by the priest which every devout Catho.
tic at death hopes for.
This same priest recently refused to
officiate at the funeral of Miss Rose
Marion, because he had some pique against
Mrs. Michael Marion, wife of the de-
ceased's brother.
Since he has had charge of this parish
he has succeeded by his arbitrary and
tyrannical manners in hopelsssly dividing
the church, so that the majority of the
better class of our Catholics do not at
tend services any more.

Of Cousc The Pioneer Rebel Was a
Woman.

II wasn't Mecklenberg, nor Philadel.
phia, where independence was first pro.
claimed, but in letter from Mrs John
Adams to her husband. When the King
issued his proclamation for suppressing
rebellion and sedition, after the failure OF
the mission Of Richard Penn, Mrs. Adams
wrote to Mr.. Adams in Philadelphia:
This intelligence will make
plain path for you, though dan.
gerous one. / could not Join to-day
in the petition Of our worthy pastor for q
reconciliation between our no longer
parent state, but tyrant state and these
colonies. Let us separate; they are un.
worthy to be our brethren. Let us re.
nounce them and instead Of supplica.
tons, as formerly, for their prosperity
and happiness, let US beseech the Al.
mighty to blast their counsels and 10
bring to naught all their devices" This
was declaration Of independence pre-.
ceding by months that which Jefferson
wrote.

How Responsible Government Clerks
are Tempted.

Washington Correspondence Chicago Times.
The developments in the Avery case
have called attention to the possibilities
of illicit gains in the numerous snbordi.
nate offices Of the government. A gov
eminent official who holds position
where he comes into possession Of infor-
nation, is daily besought by the
most seductive brides to sell the infor-
nation, and become the paid servant of
some ring. A former secretary Of a
man who was once high official in the
treasury, informed the Times correspon-
dent that, although the salary of his
position was small one, he was con.
stantly Swallowed and tempted with offers
OF large amounts Of money. The agents
of Wall street think nothing Of paying
$4,000 to $4,000 for information Of a
financial nature that will enable them to
forestall some movement on the street.
Those offices Of trust in the department
are many, and as the average OF them are
almost irresponsible in their management,
it is wonder that more clerks do not
succumb. The examples Of those above
them teach them nothing in the way of
yirtuous resistance, and the brides daily
offered are Of too tempting nature to be
continually reje cted..

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the VEGET1NE has
been steadily working itself into public favor and
those who were at first most incredulous in regard
to its merits are now its most ardent friends and
supporters.
There are three essential causes for those having
such horror OF patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence towards the ad-
vancement of vEGETINE. lst-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks roots and herbs.
2d-lt honestly accomplshes all that is claimed for
it, without leaving any bad effects in the system.
3d-lt presents honest vouchers in testimonials
from honest wel-known citizens, whose signatures
are sufficient guarantee of their earnestness in the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast guam
tity OF medicine brought conspicuously before the
public through the flaming advertisements in the
newspaper columns, with no proof of merit or gen.
uine vouchers of what it has dOne we should be
pardoned for manilesting small degree OF pride in
presenting the following testimonial from Rev. j.

The Tired Body Sues for sleep.
BosToS, March IL, 1874.
Ii. r. STEVENS, ESQ.
Dear Sir-It is as much from a sense of duty as of
gratitude that write to say that your Vegetine-
even if it is patent medicine-has been of great
help TO me when!nothing else seemed to avail which
! could safely use. Either excessive mental work
or unusual care brings upon me nervous exhaus-
desperately defies it. Night after nigh. the
poor, tired body sues for sleep. until the
day dawn is welcomed back, and We begin
our work tired out with an almost frutess chase
after rest. Now have found that little vegetIne
taken just before retire gives me sweet and imme
diate Sleep and without any of the evil effects OF
the usual narcotics. l think two things would tend
work. 2d-A little more Vegetlne. This preserip.
ton has helped me.
Now have u particular horror of "patent medi-
cine but have greater horror of being afraid to
tell the straight out truth The Vegetine has helped
me- and own it up. Yours, &c.

MR.. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your Negetine a medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of saw
Ing our sons life. He is now seventeen years OF
age for the last two years he has suffered from
crosis of his leg, caused by scrOiulous affection,
and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible. council of able
physicians could give us but the faintest hope of
his ever rallying, two of the number declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputatOn could not save him, as he had
not vigOr enough to endure the operation just then
we commenced giving him Vegeline, and from that
time to the present he has been continuously i'm.
proving. He has lately resumed his studies,
thrown away crutches and cane, and walks about
cheerfully and strong
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of Vege.
tine but lately uses but little, he declares that
he is too well to be taking medicine.

SALE OF THE SACRAMENTO UN1oN.-We.
with other journals of the Coast regret
that the Union has been sold, and we
regret it the more because it has fallen
into the hands of its former enemies.
The Union was a power in the land and
welded IN influence second to no journal
on the Pacific Coast. It's power was felt
by the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and it was said that its persistent
attacks upon that company had at one
time nearly ruined its credit in Europe.
No other journal on the Coast could have
done this telling work but the Union. 1t
had been the leading organ Of the domi-
nant party of California, and in its efforts
to expose the fraud and corruption of
that party it has fallen at the feet Of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. 1t
exposed the frauds Of the most corrupt
political rings ever organized on the
Pacific Coast these rings too. were of
its own political faith and creed, hence
it incurred the displeasure of those who
were doing the dirty work Of the
party at the bid of their masters. The
Union will be missed at. home and
abroad, it was a newspaper in every
sense of the word.
