THE OLD MANS GoNE.-Justana
Roxas, l23 years of age died at Santa
Cruz yesterday. He was, 50 far as known
tie oldest nhabitant of the earth. The
proofs Of his wonderful age are indubita-
BILE and are to be found in the records of
the Mission Church ut Santa Cruz. He
was baptized by the Mission Fathers in
the last century ard was registered as an
Indian 36 years Of age. For many years
past he has been an object of great inter-
o Il to people visiting the southern part of
the State. Some time ago his photograph
was sent to Pope Plus TX, as a likeness
of the oldest Catholic in America. Rox-
as long lived on the charity Of the town,
but Of late years has been cared for by the
Sisters Of Charity. In his latter days he
was almost hideous to look upon. He
looked more like living skeleton than
anything else. His eyes had sunk deep
into their sockets, and his hands had so
shriveed up that they resem6led the
claws of hawk. For months he had
slept on hearth, keeping himself warm
by wood fire which he never allowed to
become extinct. The Sisters of Charity
carried him wood and fuel. Yesterday
morning the fireplace was found cold
and dark for the first time in months and
the long, lingering spark of life had fed
from the venerable Indian.

4 PRoDLEN IL ALGEBRA.-The Con-
tra Costa Court has got a problem for
calculation, presented by the divorce case
Of Shimmins VS.. Shmmins. The hus-
band is Spiritualiat-his wife, late
convert to Roman Catholicism, and out
of these differences of opinion this suit
has grown, The wifes diary is brought
into court and offered in evidence on the
part of the husband. 1t contains some
queer entries, one peculiarly being that
no person is referred to by name, but by
initial. Or late, constant reference is
made to some person who is indicated by
an " X" Now y, in algebra, indicates
on unknown quantity, but Mr.. Shmmins
tancies that in this case he has solved the
problem by the discovery that Y is the
Catholic priest who first taught Mrs. S.
the true path to heaven, and the cabalist-
ic letter appears in the pages Of the diary
too often to suit Mr.. Shmmins' ideas of
domestic bliss. Hence the suit on his
part charging the wife with adultery, and
the problem is submitted to the determ-
inatioA Of the llth District Court.

An AMERICAN CARDINAL.-The Pope
has at length recognized the Importance
of the Catholic element in this country
by elevating Archbishop Nc Closkey, Of
New York, to the dignity of Prince Of
the Church. 1t has indeed been for
long time an anomaly that a country Of
such vast extent and counting in its pop
ulation millions of Catholics, should have
no voice in the Sacred College while ev-
cry miserable little Italian province has
n cardinal TO represent its interests at the
Papal court. To our simple republican
ideas it seems strange to read that an Off
Ger of the Noble Guard is on his way to
announce to the archbishop his appoint
ment, said Noble Guardsmen being ia
miiiar to Roman visitors as gentlemen
got up regardless Of expense, with long
boots, fearful looking mustaches and II
determined warlike air as they chased on
the coal black steeds the gamins through
the narrow Roman streets. There is
something subimely ridiculous in this
connection of the military element with
the gospel Of peace. To the Catholic sec
tion of our people it must, however, be n
matter Of oongratul9tion that their just
claims to recognition are no longer ig-
nored, and in the selection Of Archbishop
McCloskey, the Pope has honorcd with
the highest dignity in his gift an honor
able prclate who will honor the office al
most as much as it can honor him. San

A MAD MANA horrible tragedy
was enacted the other day on top of one
Of the omnibusos that stop at the Palais
Royal. A man on the imperiale was OBJ
served to be in great pain, twitching MS
mouth and face SO that several about him
asked him if he were i'll. When tout q
codp he sprang upon the driver, biting
him furously and then in his rage gnaw-
ing his own flesh. As you may well i'm
agine, great CONSERVATION followed tho
omnibus was quickly emptied of passen.
gers and three policemen mounted tho
top who with the aid Of ropes succeeded
only after the widest struggles and amid
cries of "Shoot him: Shoot him " in
securing him. This done, they lowered
the bundle upon handbarrow and car
ried it away. Two hours later the man
was dead. The wound on the driver wa.
cauterized, but Il dog infected by the mad
froth escaped. At least 1900 person.

CIVIL RIGHTs BuL.-We append the
first two sections of the Civil Rights Bill
which is now law OF the land. The re-
mainder of the bill relates to the mode of
procedure in cases arising under the Act.
1t is an ac! which does not please either
the ultra Democrats or the ultra Rcpub-
licans; the first, because it goes too far.
and the second, because it does not go far
enough. Tho the text Of the bill differs
very essentially from the original bill as
introduced by Mr.. Sumner.
SECTION /. That all persons within the
jurisdiction Of the United States shall be
entitled to the fall. and equal enjoyment Of
the accommodations, advantages, fncili,
ties and privileges OF inns, public convey
nnces on land or water, theaters and 9TH
or places of public amusements, subject
only to the conditions and limitations es-
tabished by law and applicable alike to
citizens Of every race and color, regard
less Of any previous condition OF ofseryitude.
SEC. 2. That any person who shall vio-
late the foregoing section by denying to
any citizens, except for reasons by law
applicable to citizens of every race and
color, and regardless. of any previous
condition of servitude, the full enjoymen
of the Accommodations, advantages and
privileges in said section enumerated, or
by aiding and melting such denial, shall
for every such offense forfeit and pay the
sum Of $500 to the person aggricved there
by, to be recovered by action Of debt with
full costs, and shall also for every such
otfcnse be deemed guilty of misdemean-
or, and upon con viction thereof, be fined
nof less than 500 nor more than $1,000,
or shall be imprisoned not less than thirty
days nor more than one year. Provided, +,
that all persons may elect to sue for the
penalty aforesaid, or to proceed under
their rights at common law and by State
statutes, and having SO elected in one
mode or the other, their right to proceed
in the othor jurisdiction shall be barred.
But this proviso shall not apply to crmi-
nal proceedings, either under this act or
the criminal law Of any State; and pro-
vided further that a judgment of the pen
atty in favor Of the party aggrieved or a
judgment upon an indictment shall be a
bar to either prosecution respectively.

PIERRE DEINsART, AZ years of age,
was taken to the hospital in Paris, tho
other day, suffering from strange NAL
ady. About two weeks previous he was
attacked by sudden pain in the nose,
and three days later he noticed to his
horror that his nose was growing longer.
The pain continues and the nose is still
growing. The saddest part Of the story
is that Deinsart has a very handsome
head and has heretofore made his living
MS a model. He will now be obliged to
support himself by exhibiting bis nose.
If Delnsart's nose continues to grow at
the same rate, that is, about an inch in
ten days, it will touch the ground in
about twenty months.

IT is the opinion of the new Encyclo-
padia Britannica that if the natural re-
sources of America were fully developed,
they would afford sustenance to $500, ,000-
600 inhabitants-a number nearly three
times as great as that now existing on the
globe! And what is even more surpris-
ing, it is not Improbable that this prodig-
ious population will be in existence with
in three or, at most, four centuries.

ST. PATRIcK.-It is not certain when
or where this good man was born, and
the date Of his death is much disputcd.-
In the year All he was in Rome, ard was
sent to Ireland by the Pope to preach the
doctrines Of the Christian Church. Ac-
cording to the accounts of his Irish biog-
raphers, he organized 800 chprches and
baptised with his own hands l2,00O per-
sons. There are many traditions res
p ct pg him, some of which are very
beautiful, while others do not possess the
merit ofprobabiity. The Catholic church
keeps the 18th Of March in honor of his
missionary labors.
