That the custom is sanctioned by the COM
munity atlarge, the immense attendance which
thropged the hall attached to the Jesuits'
College, last Thursday evening, July eth,
1876, would convince any person inclined
to be sceptical on this point. The exercises,
owing to the hot weather, were restricted to q
six act play entitled "a Family of Martyrs"
the distribution of premiums, oud occasional
renditions of instrumental music. The cast,

The New York papers have pleasant time

fashionable Protestant ministers of the me-
tropolis for their lack OF zeal in the line of
dsty and their intense desire to enjoy the
Aeeting pleasures of life. Here's sample of
the pungent paragraphs which one meets with
in every copy of the great dailies:
A young English nobleman and member Of
Parliament, addressing his continents on his
return from the United States, referred to the
absence Of the fashionable clergymen from New
York throug hout the hot weather, q oircum-
stance which greatly surprised him. New,

ST. ANNEs DAY = snb Wednesday, the Feast
of st. Anne was celebrated with greet zeal and
piety in this city, and especially at the Church
dedicated under the name and patronage of
that glorious Saint. High Mass, commencing
att O'Clock in the morning, was sung by Rev.
J. A. Robinson, assisted by Rev. Fathers Ma
rine, Deacon, and Mr.. Malloy, Sab Deacon. The
choral mass selected for the occasion, one of
the finest productions of Prof Curto, was very
creditably rendered by fine choir of our best
local professional and amateur talent. Mrs.
Buckley presided at the organ with her aocus-
toned skill, while among the vocalistS We OBJ
served Mesdames Blache, Laroussini and CurtO;
Misses Wagner, Dean, Blanc and Chauchon,
and Messrs. Reynaud, Krebs, Rossi, RepettO
and Isidore.

credit of this very striking and tasteful deco

others.

The SchenkfelderS.

The famous Butter valley, one of the
finest agricultural regions in Berks
is inhabited by a considerable
number of people who belong to COM
paratively unknown sect called the
Schwenfelders. They have several
meeting houses, one of which is near
Claytonsville. A representative of the
Reading Times recently passed through
that section, and says of them: Like
the Mennonites and Quakers these peo-
pie are opposed to war, and they are an
industrious and very respectable class of
citizens. Itis supposed that the upper,
middle and lower paats of Montgomery
county, the eastern corner Of Berks, and
the south end of Lehigh contain the on

A Chinaman at the Exhibition.

A capital type of Chinese manhood is
to be seen in the person of stout mid
dle-aged merchant, who holds position
through many hours of the day in the
southernmost compartment of the Chin
ese allotment-his queue, his shaven
head, his ample, well-formed figure, his
blandness; his serene content-the quick
intelligence and the contagious mirth-
fulness which light up his features as he
listens to the varying..r of his in
terpreter, are something as well worth
seeing as the curious wares in his exhib-
it. His stalwart proportions, mated
with an alert shrewdness, give better
intimation of those directing forces
ces which preside over the great indus
tries of China than we are apt to get
from the sallow laundry-men so familiar
to us, or from most of the subordinates
in attendance upon the Fair.

All About the Clouds.

Whenever, on account Of some topo-
graphic circumstance, the sun heats any
locality on the surface of the earth more
than the surrounding region, a gentle
current or column of heated air rises,
and its invisible moisture il condensed
into small masses of clouds called
cumuli, which spread and produce the
mottled appearance commonly known
as "mackerel sky" But when, as is
frequently the case in summer. valley,
or plain, or island, or any other place,
is much more highly heated by the sun
than>the surrounding region, the heated
air over such locality rises more rapidly
and with more ascensional momentum,
and as it reaches the higher and cooler
regions of the atmosphere its moisture
is condensed into large, rounded volumes
Of mountain-like masses of cumulus
clouds. Such cumulus clouds always
preeede and characterize local summer
storm OF shower.
When the warm horizontal curr ent
from the South, as in winter, meets with
the cold current from the North, it
slopes upward over the cooler current,
and forms stripes or bands of stratus
clouds along the horizon. These stratus
clouds indicate to the observer the fact
that warm current is coming north
ward. When in summer cool current
is moving southwark it encounters the
warm equatorial or tropical current,
which again glides upward and over it,
and forms horizontal bands of stratus
clouds along the upper line of contact,
as in winter storms; but in addition, the
denser cold air from the North, moving
with more momentum, will lift up the
warm and saturated air from the tropics
and It's moisture will be condensed into
masses of cumulus clouds banked ul
against the sop of the cold current, and
arranged over the horizontal stratus o.
clouds. Thus is produced the comb
nation Of cumulo stratus cloud, which
is characteristic of progressive summer
storms.
To the tornado cloud produced by
whirl air, and resembling an inverted
cone, Professor Blasius gives the nam
of conus, which is both distinctive an.
appropriate. These four typical classe
of clouds-viz: cumulus, stratus, cumu
lo-stratus and conus- indicate and char

The Way with Missouri Girls.

The papers are again going into
spasms over that Wisconsin girl whose
father and mother are dead, but who has
refused to marry, and cultivates eighty
acres of land with her own hands; plow
ing, sowing, reaping, breaking steers,
likewise colts, etc, ct al, ad libitum. 1t
is about eighteen years ago that they
first began to make fuss over this
"girl," and then she lived in Eau Claire
county, Wisconsin. She's an old girl
by this time. She and her eighty acres
have moved about good deal since
that time, and her deceased progenitors
lie or else the newspapers lie-in as
many grave-yards as there are campaign
lies ahoat. The way. those old dead
people move about is astonishing, not to
say frightful. They seem to scatter as
they lie. They lie about nearly every
graveyard in the great and noble State
no great shakes anyhow. We know q
girl in Missouri that can discount her
and play left -handed-or with her toes!
Our girl was left an orphan when she
was only twelve years old. She had a
farm of 24O acres, none of your little 80
acre patches, to cultivate. Now, did she
make fool and a plowboy of herself?
Did she spoil her complexion and ruin
her lily-white hands binding after a
reaper? Did she wreck her temper
breaking eteers and colts? Did she
grow stoop-shouldered pitching hay and
shoveling manure? Not any. And
she didn't go stumping around in the
dirty spring mud and slush of the barn
yard, poking her rosy finger into the
mouth of ye fool calf to teach him the

The West India Company had instruct
ed Peter Minuet to treat with the Indi-
ans for their hunting grounds, before he
took any steps towards the erection of
buildings. He accordingly made q
somewhat superficial survey of the is
land, which had been designated as the
feld for pioneer operations, and estimat-
ed its extent at about twenty thousand
acres. He then called together some of
the principal Indian chiefs, and offered
beads, buttons, and other trinkets in ex-
change for their real estate. They ac-
cepted the terms with unfeigned delight,
and the bargain was closed at once. The
value OF the baubles which secured the
title to the whole of Manhattan Island
was about sixty guilders, equal in on,
currency TO twenty five dollars. On the
part ofthe Dutch, it was merely polit'
ic measure to establish future amicabls
