AT first mass Sunday morning,
in the Church of the Holy Infancy,
South Bethlehem, the pastor, Rev.
NJ. G. McEnroe, paid his compli-
ments to the members of the South
Bethlehem division, Ancient Order
of Hibernians, or "Molly Maguiree."
He said that recently one Sunday
some of the members Of the order
went to the furnace at Freemans-
burg, took whisky with them, made
drunk the workmen there, and then
endeavored to induce them to join
the accursed order. He named
these men. The reverend gentle
man reviewed the history of the
order, and the same was not Excess
lively ~iattering. lie said the very
constitution Of the order was a
fraud. 1t demanded that members
must be Irishmen and Catholics,
must commune once a year, and
be honest, respectable citizens.
Then naming half a dozen of the
men prominent in the order here,
he asked, ''Who that has been here
for the past ten years has seen -,
and so and so commune?" He
scarcely saw how they claimed to
be Catholics. care they honest
and reputable? Go 60 the shops
and stores throughout the borough
and see." Father McEnroe dwelt
on the subject at length; gave the
4" Mollie" to understand that there
could be no peace, no halfway
measures, no compromise; that he
meant to follow them, that all true
Irishmen would support him, and
that, for one, he was not afraid of
the dreaded "Mollie Maguires."
The denuniciation was as vehement
as it was unexpected, and it has
Modified the "Mollies consider
ably.

A correspondent of the ST. louis
Globe Democrat, describing the
experience Of Howe's circus and
menagerie after the late storm in
Iowa, speaks as follows of the sa-
gacity Of the trained elephants:
assistant Superintendent Royce
sent a large force to repair damages
and relieve the circus train, and
the task was great-bridge gone
and miles of track under water and
badly washed out. Friday night
the road was put in temporary re-
pair, and the train started in three
sections. When about ten miles
ont a trestle sank, and five cars of.
the third section capsized in the
soft mud. The first car contained
horses, the second an elk and camel,
the other three the five performing
elephants. The roofs were cut
away and the first two cars easily
emptied, but the elephants were all
in a heap and giving emphatic ex-
preston of their discontinue. To
get them out was not so easy, yet
with the intelligence and Sagacity
which ch~aracterizes the semi-hu-
man brute it was accomplished and
they received not a scratch. They
obeyed every instruction, kneeling
down, putting out one leg, then
another, turning and twisting with
all the intelligence of a child, eclips,
ing in maryellousneSs anything per-
formed in the ring. When relieved
from their p%erilous situations they
gave expressions of Joy which
were emphatic and unmistak-
able. They fairly laughed all over.
''The remainder of the trip was
made overland, and this the ami
mails enjoyed hugely, as the night
was cool and the neon bright. The
missing bridges on the route gave
the elephants repeated opportunity
for indulgiEg in sport. They ar
rived here before the train; carsh had
to be provided for them, but ordi-
nary cars were too low. Finally
two were found which we're about
an inch higher than the largest ele-
plants back. The elephants were
brought alongside, and Jack the
largest, was called first to mount
the platform. He noticed the
strange car, and gave a careful
scrutiny, seized the door-post with
his trunk and gave the car a pow
erful shake, mounted the platform
and cautiously walked in, headed
to the front, racked the car side
wise, and then bumped his back.
His back struck the roof ribs, when
he crouched and marched out Of
the car in a jiffy. The keeper re-
marked, He won't go back there
again. 1t was decided to remove
the roof ribs, which was done, the
five elephants closely watching the
operation. When this was done,
Jack was again invited to take a
ride. He promptly assented, en-
tered the car, rocked it and swayed
it, and then bumped his back.
Finding it all right, he trumpeted
his assent, marched around itafew
times, and went to eating hay.
Each elephant tested the car him
self"

Great preparations were made at
a house on Madison avenue for the
marriage Of a young lady who had
been wooed and won by the son of
a prominent insurance agent in this
city. The Rev. DR.. Reeves, who
was absentin Schenectady, was sent
for, and he engaging another
preacher to fill his place, hurried
back to Albany to pronounce the
words which were to make the twain
one flesh. The bride was arrayed
for the ceremony, the guests assem-
bled, but the bridegroom came not,
The irate father Of the bride went
to the home of the young man and
found that he had suddenly depart.
ed for California, leaving no word
behind. At the news of this de.
sertion the bride sank fainting on
the floor, while her mother went
into fits. The company at once
dispersed to gossip over the unto.
ward ending OF the affair and to
speculate as to the cause of the
%bridegroom's departure. 1t is sale
that some time ago, on pretence Of
changing the ring which he gave
her, he took it away and never re.
turned it. The young lady is quite

whether it is worth while to main
