Messrs. Moody and Sankey in London, who
by the way, are going ITO evangenze new
York. Some wag said the other day, that
they ought TO go on to Washington, and
preach TO the Assembly ia the Capitol.
There are not 30 many "Christian States
men, there as there were q year or two
sgo.
Warden Innis, of the Ohio State Peuiten-
tiary, writes q letter on the subject OF the
outcry raised by some of the Ohio journals
| because a number of Catholic books have
been purchased for the use of that institu-
ton siuce the passage of the Ghegan bill.
He says that on account of what had been
| said on the matter, he felt it his duty to
make an examination of the prison library,
! the result of which proceeding was to make
| plain the fact that prior TO the recent
| purchases there were no Catholic books
| there at all, and that those belonging to
/ the prision comprise ga Manual of Pray

| "The Poor Mans Catechism," and st.
Francis de Sales "Introduction to aDevout
| Life.n With Protestant books and Bibles
the library was well supplied, there being
two s'Histories of the Reformation" one by
D'Aubigne, and the other by Martyr o
.sLife of Martin Luther" and another OF
John Knox "Popery, the Foe Of Church
and State" Almost . Nun, "Aimost
Priest" and the like, with about 1850 cop
les OF King James' version Of the Bible.
Not one copy of the Douai was to be had.
He adds, incidentally, that there are about
one thousand Professionals at present IN the
penitentiary, Who have eometh1ng more
than two Thousand volumes of reading
matter provided for them, which it, would
moi burt their consciences to read" and
!: that he does not see why the 1.-TWO hundred
Catholics" should not also have something
! done for them withoutcausing any outcry
Sixty seven dollars only have been ex
pended for that purpose, aud really il
. seems As if the good Protestants of Ohio
those not in the penitentiary-hat
for once rather overshot their mark in com
planning.
A part of the large fortune accumulated
through ways that were dark and trick
Z that were vain by the too famous Fouche

e with the Monthyon prize. The Duchess wa
e too clever q woman not to feel that priz

e more than Gailic wits could bear SO sh
II desired the prize or prizes to be given
d the name of her brother, N. de Sussy. Thi
g curious incident recalls to ne an exceller
a story about Fouehe which tends so much

If to tell it here. After the Restoration Fouch
