In 1878 @ farmer in Cape Elizabeth, Maine,
made will, sealed it 10 an envelope, wrote on
it the direction that it should not be opened
within one hundred years, delivered it to the
selectmen for safe keeping, and then died. His
helrs-at-law took possession of his property,
nobody objecting, and after many years the
town papers were lost. The sealed will re-
Gently came to light, and was found to devise
the testator's property to the town, to be used
as charitable institution for vagrapts: but it
has changed hands many times, and to take it
now from the present holders would be great
hardship. Probably the town will not press
its claim.

safe means of detecting suspended animation
in cases of apparent death A corpse imme-
diately after death can be SO Influenced by the
electric current that it will appear to breathe,
the breast will heave, and the face assume
expressions of joy or pain. But where death
has really come all this will cease at the end of
two three hours, and the electric current is
then powerless, while on the other hand, in
case of only apparent death, electricity con-
tinues potent until animation is restored. So,
if a movement of the muscles is seen three
hours after the commencement of the electric
treatment it is certain that life is not extinct.
The Cathedral of Boston is now open and in
regular use, to the immense satisfaction of
every Catholic in the diocese. Alphabetically
in elegance and grandeur of proportions, it is
quite unapproachabie by any existing religious
edifice in New England though the effect is
not quite complete yet, as the two spires which
are to Drown the edifce and rear on high the
symbol of 0nr faith are not finished. Some
| little disappointment is felt, too, with the
general effect of the nave which seems to lack
| the tone and richness which q more liberal use
| of dark woods would have given it; but this
| will probably be remedied by the Introduction
| of the stained glass windows which are yet to
be placed IN this part of the building.

Nor. psrehe, Archbishop of New Orleans.

Raw. Father Quinon, a missionary priest OF
a Diocese of Galveston, now on visit to his
A.iye land, France, in quest of health, writing
bm Marselles, under date of March 14sh, to
Frsesans Journal, says:

That there are thousands and hundred thou.
sands of Protestant Americans just at the
threshold of the Church, waiting to be drawn
in by the fret sum mons which come directly to
them, every Catholic mission elbows some evil
whom the Catholic laymen can bring over by
doing their duty in speaking mp for the faith,
in defending it's doctrines-and for their de:
fence nothing more is required than candid
home, in the evening, under hundred varying
circumstances, q Catholic can say good word
for his faith, which may be the one little thing
needed to ees the avalanche of grace in motion
which will overwhelm the imaginary difficult
ties of the groper towards truth. There are
many noble souls outside the Church dssatis'
fed with their surroundings, who, If they only
knew the way in, would hasten to enter. 1t is for
those who are within already to make known
that path by word and work, by books, news
papers and conversation.-N Y. Catholic Re

How PARTISAN Tors ARE MADE.-ADy
one who has ever walked through one OF
the great toy importing houses of this city
at holiday time, and perhaps wondered at
the taste and ingenuity displayed by the
French workmen in devising many OF the
most beautiful playthiDgs, would hardly
imagine that waste and refuse materials,
very odd ones, too, sometimes are largely
used in the Partisan toy industry. Ele-
gantly dressed dolls, tricked out in all the
Tefinements of the latest fashion, and
which fetch incredible prices on this side OF
the Atlantic, are frequently costumed from
the cast-off stage clothes of actresses in the
theatres, purchased for mere song, OF from
the useless garments remaining in theatrical
wardrobes after a play has had long run.
The coverings of old purses and pocket
books, fshed out of the cutters by sharp
eyed rag pickers, furnish the material for
the doll boot-maker. Old eardine-boxes
and cans yield their plate to the manufac-
turer of barrels for toy-guns. The little
wooden or metal wheels which support
movable toys are obtained from the refuse
of any. industry in which articles having
circular openings are made. French cruet
| stands, usually of wood and having holes
| for bottles, provide thousands OF such discs,
removed in making the apertures. All the
solder and pewter that can be extracted
from old roofing and water spouts, OF
workshop scraps, is pressed into service
for the manufacturer of dolls knives and
| forks, teasets, etc. and even the ancient
lead cofios dug out of the old cemeteries
| of Nuremburg, the French toy-maker utlli
yes in the manufacture of lead soldiers.

FROM THE BLACK HILLS.

The following letter is from John
Coumsrihl. An old resident of Rose
Valley and Q reliable man. it gives a fair
view Of the condition of the digsinss.
GOLD Run GULcH,
Near Deadwood,) July 2lst, 1876.
Dear Brother: wrote you after my
arrival here, but not receiving any news
makes me suppose that facilities and ex-
press messengers are not in my opinion,
very Trustworthy. These parts of the
hills are called the Deadwood mines, and
in fact anyway deserve that name; they
we're discovered last winter but were not
dreamed of when the excitement was
raised. They are situated in the north.
eastern part Of the bills and the rolling
prairies can be seen on clear day from
shs peaks. There are Q few good claims
in the district. but the majority will be,
what we call in the west, China dig
gings." To believe our little paper here
and o good many other men, this would
be nothing but mass of gold, but prso-
tically there is great quantity of dirt
for little gold. This I think is the
best guloh in the Hills; there is 6 or 7
claims that will average $40 day to the
hand. the balance will vary from half
wages to wages and little over, but the
gulch is small and the claims will in
most cases be worked out this sumo er.
There are two more gulches (small ones)
that will pay very we'll and in the main
guich there are few rich claims but
not many, the balance, as 1 said, are
claims that will. if my predictions are
right, fall into the hands of Chinese.
There sresome good surface or Groupings
OF quartz, mostly bearing free gold and
there is big excitement over them. I
have bought set OF blackmiths tools
and have just started shop. II I think
can get hold OF anything I might stay
this winter. but ground that is or sup
posed to be any account. is held very
high; but it might be that towards
winter man could get some show. l
will have some specimens to send al soon
ss We have mail Communication. Wages
here are 81 . day for good men from
the East and IS for men from the West.
There are q great many idle men. P.
Reid 10 in Bear gulch. rs miles from
here, he has fair claim, but there is
only three or four claims in the pulch
that pays; he has one OF the best. He
met there an old partner of his who gave
him bali of his claim to help him open
it. He has probably made 81, 900 50
far.
