THE CATHOLIC WORLD.-'Mr. Froude
on the Revival of Romauism" is the suggest
i've text of the opening article in the De-
cemher number of the Catholic World. What
the English historian has to say aOout the,
10 him, much-drcaded revival of Catbolicity
and what the Catholic World has to say on
the other side, forms an article that could
hardly fail to he Lively, interesting, and
timely. The examination of the dnings and
sayings OF the recent Protestant Episcopal
Convention and Congress makes another
lively paper. "The German Element In the
United States is an article containing many
valuable reflections and suggestions. The
paper on recent "Poemics aud Irenics in
Scholastic Philosophy" will prove of especial
value tn the inore advanced students and
readers of the graver kind of literature. 1t
is a grand ex position of free Catholic thought
and will well repay pernsal by any
serious s-minded man. Quite i'll contrast 20
this, is the pleasant article on "Relgiou on
the East Coast of Africa wherein the wri-
ter gives some curons personal "reminiscences
in brisk, off hand style that is very enter
tanning. The short article on the "Irish
Hedge-Poefs' Is very gracefully written and
To many Will open up quite a lost branch of
literature. The few remarks on the recent
"Forrifcations of Rome" which look to n
contemplated war between Germany and
Italy on France, have been confirmed Ivy
cent disclosures in the European press
Among the Translators" is the second of
the graceful articles tha: take up the English
renderings of Virgil and Horace; the present
one being devoted chiefly to the Horatians.
The two charming stories, THE Little
Chapel at Monainnllin" and "a Sweet Re-
venge," end as happily as they promised.
Aud a strong weird story is well told in
THE Mystery of the Old Organ" There is
more poetry than usual and all Of the high
character for which the Catholic World is

A Singular Mania.

y
A remarkable case of mania occurred
10 miles south of Sedalia a few days
since. Mrs. Parks, the wife of a we'll
to-do farmer, had been, attending re-
vival meeting in the neighborhood, and
under the strain of intense religious ex-
citement her mind gave way. In the
middle of the night she got out Of bed
and went to Flat Greek, aishort dis
tance away, and for an hour waded up
and down it. Her husband, missing
her from the -hease,sweat in search of
her. He met her returning to the
house, and to prevent recurrence of
the dangerous eccentricity watchedSher
closely But he finally dropped asleep,
and she escaped again., This timeIsh
was found wading about in pond near
her residence; She was taken home
and a strict watch kept upon her move
ments. The mania, aside from the sin
gular direction it takes regarding an un-

A Lively Crusader.

About o'clock Saturday, evening" q,
good-looking little woman, named Mrs.
Newton, went into the saloon of Fred
Kistner, of West Washington Street,
and marched up to the table at which
her husband was sitting playing cards
with a party OF cronies, took, the Cards
from his hands, and after tearing them
up, demanded that he Immediately 90
home with her. The husband reluc-
family consented, and left the saloon
with her. At later hour he reappeared
in the saloon, having evidently given his
decidedly better-half the slip, and soon
became engaged in a game of billiards.
Shortly afterwards Mrs, Newton ap-
peared on the scene, and proceeded to
make things very Interesting for that
'' ''husband of mine" She smashed the
mirror over the bar with brickbat,
and, snatching bilhard-cue out of her
husbands hands, made sad havoc
among the bottles and glasses. The
saloon-keeper rushed to the door and
blew short calls on poliee-whistle.
When the police arrived, Newton offer
ed to pay for the damage done by his
wife; but she told him that he would
do nothing of the kind, as he had spent
too much OF their substance already in
that saloon. The saloon-kseper de-
manded the arrest Of the woman, but,
on being reminded that she had re-
quested him not to sell liquor to her
husband, and that therefore she had
good cause of action against him, he
decided not to prosecute, and she bore
off her wayward spouse in triumph
