During the elections in France an enter
prising shoemaker issued mock appeal to
the electors, in which he set himself forth
as working-men's candidate for the
Chamber of Deputies. Asserting the ma
jesty and digoity of labor, aud denouncing
the charlatauism Of t:Ie sol di8ant advocates
of the people who were only aristocrsts in
disguise, he declared that he would not
cease from preaching the popular doctrines
in his shop, Rue St. Lazere, where he
would also continue to make his excellent
CATERS at the low price of Is francs pair.
During the electoral period he would be
happy to furnish them to all the voters at
"A francs Iair. The funny part of the
affair was that the enterprising advertiser
actually received more than one hundred
and fifty votes in his reimbursement.

ToLERATYoN IN NEW HzMPsHTRE.
tFrssmAn's Journal


Federation is q relative term. In the
state of New Hampshire, for instance,
Catholics are as free in the exercise OF their
religion as in any other State of the Union
But, of the oldest families of that State,
we know of many who, in the exercise OF
their right Of reason, and in obedience to
their consciences, have become Catholics.
We know of one such gallant family, IN
which there are ak tall brothers-all con-
verts to the Catholic faith. "TeleratiOn

Mrs. Belknap's Appeal for her Husband

The dry report of the committee does but
feeble justice to passionate scene when the
wretched Mrs Bslknap, clinging to the hope
of girlish friendship for Mrs Black burn, visited
her, and, throwing herself upon her knees re.
fused TO move until security for her husband
was promised. Mrs. Belknap, as Miss romlln-
son, was bosom friend "t Congressman Black
burns wife. To her, last night, she betook
herself, when her husb band coming home from
the committee declared that all was lost To
work more effectively upon Mrs Blackburn,
the wretched wife brought her baby to plead
for her. 1t was one of the few cold, stormy
nights ex perienced in Washington. The ground
was covered with an inch of slush, the snow
melting as it fell. AS she appeared at Mrs.
Blackburn's, it was almost impossible to re-
cognize her. A plain cloak was thrown over
her, and her babe was pressed in her arms.
She had barely reached the inside door when
she fell in faint. Recovering she fell upon
Mrs Blackburn s neck. She raved pi Seously to
save her husband and child. She would bear
all the blame. She alone was guilty. They
might hang or imprison her, but spare her
babe and her husband. During the scene Mr..
Blackburn came in, and the two women clung
to him, his wife almost as much moved as the
wretched wife and mother. Blackburn says he
was never 80 moved in Ii, life by any appeal,
to shield Belknap. he told the unfortunate
woman, gently, but firmly the. ss::!ce must be
done, ah55 that he was pow e-less.

According to one of the London journ ais,
Earl Russell is experiencing some of the fleets
of the exercise of private judgment in religious
matters, in a way which causes him keen dis
pleasure His son, the late Lord Amberley,
was a disciple of the views enbar tsiped and
taught by Stuart Mill and other philosophers
of his stamp, and his wife is said to have
coincided with him. At all events, his theory
about the education of his children was that
very common one among the younger genera
tion of non Catholics who have inherited the
taste for private judgment without the means
provided by early heterodo9y for it's decent
children inooulated with that barren system of
misbelief which he had rejected in his own
maturity, and intended to leave their minds
teaching at all. Aud his will is said to provide
that, in order to ensure the carrying out OF
this programme, his children are to be care.
fully guarded from all interference on the part
of their grandparents. Much sympathy is ex
pressed for Earl Russell, but, after all, the
great pity is that people shouid persist in
thinking it strange and shocking that the tree

THE TATYCAM.

Rome. Feb. 2Ist.-The Holy Fathers
health continues to be wonderfully good:
as is evidenced by the vigorous bearing ana
strength of voice with which ne goes
through his daily receptions. On MonIay
his Holiness, attended by large. number
of Cardinals and prelatea, gave audience to
a considerable gathering OF Italians and
foreigners All came to present their no
mage, and some to offer him gifts of sacred
objects or Peters Pence contributions. Inc
Holy Father addressed all present in words
which they will probably remember during
their whole life. He spoke in French, and
in moving terms reminded them OF their
duties towards God and to themselves 10
the present time, so difficult for the Church.
In conclusion, he bestowed his benediction
upon them.
Monday evening, Monsignor Dapanloup,
Bishop of Orleans, had the honor of being
received in farewell audience by the Sow
ereign Pontiff. He took with him the warm
ess appreciation of the Pope's affection in
reference to the process for the canonization
of Joan of Arc, aud of Cardinal Biilos dil"
gence in furtheIing that cause in the com
mission over which he presides. II Holt
pess has deieued to raise Monsignor Clio"
vapui Carnev alma, first writer to the Con
gregation of the Propaganda, to the posi-
ton of private clerk to himself. There
are two private clerks who serve the HOLY
Fathers Mass in alternate weeks. Fhe
Pope likewise has six secret chapialns, so-
perior in dignity to the clerks, who also
fulfil this duty. One of these chaplains al
ways says Thanksgiving Mass after the
Holy Fathers Mass
The Liberal r oman journal, La Liberia,
relates the following auecdote "Some
ladies were received by the Holy Father a
few days ago !; they had brought charm :

loves children very much, and never fails
to speak to them, said to this little girl

MILLING LIES
HOW THE LONDON "TIMES" FABRICATEs
SENSATIONS AGAINST THE CHURCH.
GCsthclic Review |

The story recently invented by Berlin
of the London Times con.
cerning the case of young woman OF
Baden On whom" the priests were try Jog
to produce the phenomena OF stlgmatlza-
ton, turns out of course, to have no fouu-
dation in fact of such a nature as to bear
the Interpretation put upon it by the cor
respondent. The story, as we have seen it
in some of the American journals, was that |
a Miss Hauser of Bresiach in Baden, had
informed her parents that she had been
persuaded by her confessor to wear tight
Qirdle about her waist as means of mortl-
hcation which would endear her to God.
That she had done 80, and haviog by this
means determined flow of blood to her
extremities, cupPing glass' had been ap'
piled to her hands and feet IN the effort to
produce bleeding wounds. According to
these chronic!ers the case baa been brought
into the courts and the accused priest, or
priests, had been saved from conv'c'ion
only by the generosity of the young lady,
who would not allow her counsel to pro-
ceed further. The facts as they really
stand are of a complexion quite different
from this. A surgeon of Breisach, named
Wurth, brought the affair into public no
sice some motifs ago by publishing in one
of the " Liberal" newspapers an account
Of one of his patients who had endangered
her life by wearing such a belt around her
body as an act of religious discipline.
just so much of his letter was strictly true
But on this slender basisl of fact Surgeon
Wurth rested an accusation against the
Church, aud boldly claimed that the cases
of stigmatization which just now have
gained a wide publicity through the means
of the public DISCUSSIONS on the case of
Louise Lateau, wee all "got up" by
these and similar ,nrans. 1t was the sur
geon, not this pa ent, who made the
charge against the priest, the Reverend
, Father Hiss, that it was by his advice that
Miss Hauser had been guilty of this dan
} gerous imprudence. Wurth owed the
priest whom he DETAINED a grudge, for
having reproached him with professional
neglect in the case of another patient
The priest Immediately sued for libel, and
the surgeon in return brought an action
against the priest for an attempt to iDj1re
his pratice. Both suits came to trial in the
same week. Miss Hauser appeared in
court and testified on oath that in wearing
the girdle in question she acted in direc
opposition to the advice of Father Hiss
who gained his suit against the surgeon
who was fined thirty thalers for libel. II
? the second suit Wurth gained his cause anC
received back fifteen of his thalers, it hav
ing been shown that the priest had &C
? oused him of some malpractice. On
would suppose that it was now the duty o.
: the medical faculty of Baden to disgTac'
u him for a breach of professional decOr0n
in having violated the confidence of
patient and brought her into public motor
iety.
