Last Christmas Eve the family of Berlin
tradesman, who had formerly been prosperous
but was then q bankrupt, were sitting sorrow-
fully around their open fireplace. The house
had been nearly emptied of its furniture to
meet the execution of judgment creditors, and
. promisory note of six hundred marks was
overdue. Suddenly the door bell rang, and the
gentleman who held the note entered. followed
by a eervant carrying large basket. The
servant placed the basket on the table and
quietly departed. The creditor pressed his
debtor's hand, slipping into it at the same time
a sealed envelope, and begging him to hope for
better times left the house. The basket was
hurriedly opened, and large assortment of
delicacies, besides coffee, sugar, etc, was dis
closed. The envelop contained the promisory
note torn in half, and bank note for one hun.
dred marks. And joy reigned in the late dis.
consulate house.

Cardinal Manning recently making an appeal
distinction between poverty and pauperism
Poverty" he said, "was holy stste, whilst
pauperism Was hateful. Poverty and innocence
were two things that must go together; but
pauperism was the poverty of vice and SIN, of
crime, of drunkenness, of disease, and Of the
inberitance of all those evils, physical and
moral, which were transmitted from parents
TO children and from generation 10 generation.
And this pauperism existed under the light of
the greatest splendor that the world had ever
seen. Pauperism was Dplague, an ulcer, from
the sole of the foot to the crown of the bead
of England. He not going to speak of
that pauperism. but he was going to speak and
ask their aims for the relief Of honest pov erty"

All AbOut n Goat.

On last Wednesday morning, when
Mr.. 10 Ellis, living near Jim Mulcahay's
In Goose Island precinct, got out OF bed
aud succeeded in crawling into a pair OF
breeches three inches too short for him
in:the legs and lacking six inches of COM
ing together around the waist. he went
to his front door to look out. No sooner
had he opened the door than big billy
goat. the property Of Jim Mulcahay, see
Ing his friend Ellis in the door made
bee line for him. Ellis was afraid OF his
goodship and stepped aside just in time
to escape being butted clear through
the house and into the back yard.
Passing through the house the goat
wheeled about and came back for an.
other charge on Ellis. But now it was
Ellis time and just as his goatship was
entering the door, ball from pistol in
Ellis hand sent him to that borne from
which no good goat was ever known to
return. That was good goat, and Null
cahay thought Ellis had no right to kill
him for so trivial an ofiense, so Ellis was
arrested on warrant sworn out before
Squire Tom Martin. When
taken before Squire Martin, Ellis
applied for change OF venue, and Squire
Martin sent bin before Squire Nick
Hunsacker. On the way to Hunsackcr's.
Ellis asked Dave Bishop. the constable
who had HIM in charge, to let him stop in
to see friend about going his bail. Ellis
went into the house and Bishop remained
in the road. When Bishop thought it
was time to move on, he called to Ellis,
but Ellis tailed to answer, and search be-
ing made, it was found he had taken to
the woods and succeeded in making his
escape. Ellis has undoubtedly taken
change Of venue to Missouri, where he
will probably remain.
