sense are We any more sinners than all
others? Are all the members of Chris
tan churches saints? But if it be a
question merely of changing our faith
We shall simply say to those gentlemen,
No, As long as 1t is question whether
We shall throw stones at the graves OF
our martyred forefathers and declare that
they were wrong, and that they CROPPED
in the darkness. We have but one answer
to give, and that will be given with en-
phasis.
\ THE PoPEs.
We have the authority of the Guardian
Angel for the following interesting facts
in connection with the Supreme Pontiffs
of Rome:-The whole number of Popes
from ST. Peter to Plus IN. is 257. OF
these 50 are mentioned as saints, not
only because of their holy lives. but on
account of certain miracles which they
have beeu able to perform; SO have suf-
fered martyrdom; 104 have been Ro-
mans, and 103 natives of other parts of
Italy; - have been Frenchmen; 30
Greeks; Z Germans; 5 Asiatics; Afri-
cans; l was Hebrew; an Englishman.
Only one. Plus IN, has occupied the
Pontiical chair more than twenty-five
years-the length Of St. Peters admin
stration.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Somebody said very quantity the other
day that il a man wants a suit TO last
three months he goes to some fashion
able clothier on Broadway; ii he wants
a suit that will last lifetime he goes to
a court of chancery or becomes q pro-
minent pastor in Brooklyn; but if lie
wants suit fol- eternity he puts on the

Some peoples religious consciousness
takes queer freaks. Fontenelle liked his
asparagus with oil; his friend. Cardinal
Dubois. liked it with sauce. They dined
together once q week, and half the aspa- |
ragus was dressed one way and half the
other. One day Fontenelle heard Of the |
sudden death OF his friend, and. forget |
ting the sadness Of the calamity, he |
opened the kitchen door and cried out. !
- Cook, all the asparagus in oil to-day |
This instance of irreverence is sur |
passed, however. by the woman who, |
when informed that her husband had |
hung himself, thought a moment, and |
then exclaimed, well, that accounts
Tor the loss of my clothes line" Deep |
5rief does not affect all persons in the |
same way.
1t is o noteworthy fact that the ner-
Tous system is seriously exhausted by
.ehgious service which extends beyond

'pects they seem to differ.
DIR. Cumming has been at his calcula-
ions once more. This time he has made

BY the next frott there will have been
he biggest conhagration ever known,
nd the whole planet Will be, in insur-
nee phrase, q total loss" We ought,
S Americans, TO feel cOnlpl.mentei that
his important vent Is put down for the
year.
A man in the Inquiry Room said the
