THE CARDINALS DIAMOND CRoss.-It
has been current among the newspapers
that the diamond cross presented to
Cardinal McCloskey was purchased and
presented by school in New York, at a
cost of $4,000. The Rev. J. F. Brazil,
Vicar-General of the Diocese of Iowa,
says the report IS not true. The facts
are these: Many years ago, Bishop
Hughes, Father De Smet and Thuriow
Weed visited Europe. When in Bel
gium, the Queen Dowager, from feel
ing of high regard and esteem for Amer
lea, presented to Bishop Hughes that
cross as a personal gfft-not to the
Church. After the Bishops death, it
was found he had bequeathed the cross
to his sister, the Mother Superior of the
Sisters of Charity in New York. She
preserved it with great care, and when
the Cardinal WAS appointed, she present
ed it to her school, to be by it presented
to the Cardinal. Its estimated value is
$50, 600, but it costs nobody one cent in
America.

UsURY.-An old farmer, living in the
State of Vermont, was in the habit of
loanlng money at a usurious rate. He
was moreover a strict church member
One day a neighbor called on him for
the purpose of negotiating loan. The
old farmer informed him that he could
have the money at the rate of nine per
cent. 'sNine per cent 70 exclaimed the
astonished neighbor- '.Why, that
can't agree with your principles of
Christianity. What viii the Lord say,
when He looks down from above, and
sees you charge me nine per cent. when
the legal rate is only six?" 'Ahl but, -
exclaimed the farmer, ''when the lord
looks down from above, the figures will
be reversed, and the lime will look just
like six. "a

"COAL-OIL JOHNNY"

The country is familiar with the
petroleum bubble of years ago how
men rose IN the morning beggars, and
retired at night nlillionaires how na-
bobs became mendicants i'll the breath
Of wind. One of the heroes of those
notable days is johnny Steele, or ''Coal-
Oil Johnny" as he is now familiiarly
called. His history is known to all the
newspaper-readers, and they will ren.em-
Der how he went to bed one night Ia
borer at $40 month, and awoke in the
morning the heir of the richest oil-weil
IN VeHango County. He didn't know
what to do with tho money which flow
ed from his we'll He it was who pur-
chased hotel in Philadelphia at extra
VACANT figures, and gave it away the next
day; who would buy up a dance-house
at big price, for the privilege of ssrun-
ming it, one night who would purchase
fancy team, use it once, aud give it
away ; who bought minstrel troupe,
and ran it a whole season for the fun of
1t who never refused to lend money,
nor asked for its return. He stepped
from penury, through one million and
half OF dollars, back to penury again,
III sixteen short months. Then he came
West; and now he is at work with a gang
of bridge-builders in Shelby County, on
the Rock Island Road, at salary of one
hundred and seyenty-fve cents day.
He is just as happy and contented with
his frugal fare and lowly cot as when
he basked in the smiles of Fortunes
favors. His wife clings to him in ad-
versity with true hearted love, and ac-
cepts the situation with all the grace
which characterizes the noble woman.
She joined his fortunes when sunshine
gllded his path; she now seeks to make
his pathway bright beneath the shadows
of adversely. Their home is at Dunlap,
Iowa. Johnny says many of the stories
OF his wasteful extravaganza are false
His reverses cane from loans made to
friends, who failed to repay Them. a
broken bank carried down 2120, 900 at
one swoop, and another bank took $4O,-
600. Out of the wreck of the latter he
hopes to get enough to get his good
wife beautiful dress and a rice hOusa

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE-MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS iEsTERDAY.--A meeting
Of the Board of Directors Of the Chamber
of Commerce was held yesterday evening
Vice. President E. o. Noling in the chair.
Mr. Bhuken>hp, from the committee to
secure The incorporation OF the Chamber
reported that the bill TO provide charter
passed both bouSes, bnt did not become 2
law, aS the Governor withheld his signature
Mr.. Blankeu>hip sad when he discovered
that there was difficulty he visited the
Governor and conyerSed with him about the
charter. The Governor considered the 4lh
and 9TH sections unconstitutional, and for
that reason prevented it from becoming a
law. The bill is now in the hands of an
eminent lawyer who has been asked hiS
opinion Of it. Until then Mr.. BankenShip
thought it would be well for the Chamber
TO take no further action in the matter.
When the lawyers report was made be
would probably relate to the Board more
fully What tranSpired between the Governor
and himself at the interview mentioned,
and then the Chamber could consider the
propriety Of applying to the court for a
charter.
The chairman laid before the Chamber a
number of letters relating to the railroad
meeting which is to take place at lronton on
the Goth instant, with the object Of securing
rail connection between Cincinnati and
Huntington. II WAS desired that delegates
to represent Richmond should be appointed.
On motion OF Colonel Palmer, the pre>i-
dent Of the Chamber General Anderson
was authorized to appoint committee to at
tend the meeting, if after consultation with
the railroad committee Of the Chamber be
thinkS ii proper so to do.
