NEW YORK, Sept, Il, 1877.
To the Editor of the Free Press and Times.
An inyestig ating committee has had Tweed
on the stand, but they have not thus far got
anything new out of him. Everybody knew
that the city had been robbed of millions,
and they knew exactly who did it, and how
it was done. Twccd's testimony, thus far,
is only valuable as confession from the
leader of the thieves, with some minor par
ticulars added. lie may make some new
disclosures before they get through with him,
but it is doubtful. The old man keeps up
wonderfully well, and will, if he ever gets
out, make trouble for his enemies. lie Is
yery bitter, and desires nothing 80 much as
to get chance at those of hi, friends who
deserted him. lie does not blame the cii-
zens, generally, for what has beiallen him
he marnanimously forgiyes them-but Ia
have shared the plunder with men and then
have them go back on him, angers him. lie
says it was pleasant reading when in Spain,
the denunciations of himself by men who
were his partners, and who We're liyirg on
the money they stole when with him.
ROMAN CATHOLICISM AND FREE SCHOOLS.
A Catholic priest in Newark named Leon
ard. is taking hand in politics. as well as
religion. lie commenced his sermon, last
Sunday, with violent diatribc against
the free school system, dcnOuncing it as
gross wrong to " the church" lie
held that the church alone had the right
to control the education of children, and that
education outside of the church could not he
tolerated lie narrated how only last Fall
man named OReilly, born of Catholic
parents, hut who had joined Protestant
church, was Il candidate for office, and how
as soon a. he heard Of it he instructed his
flock and ;he unfortunate OReilly did not
get Catholic vote. And Father Leonard
notified the politicians that the Catholic
church was unit, and WAS controlled by
the clerical authorities, and that it would be
felt this Fall. The sermon created IL great
deal OF feeling in the city. as all that tie
reverend gentleman said is true. though his
conircrcs have more sense than to make their
purposes known so early in the game.

Anecdotes of a Parrot.


Mr. Bayard Taylor, writing Of animal
nature in The Attontic, tells this story Of
parrot owned by friend in Chicago
When the great fire was raging, the
owner saw that she could rescue nothing
except what she instantly took In her
hands There were two objects equally
dear, the parrot and the old family
Bible, and she could take hut one. After
moments hesitation she seized the
Bible, and was hastening away, when
the parrot cried out in aloud and solemn
voice, GOOD Lord, Deliver Usi No
human being could have been deaf to
such an appeal the precious Bible was
sacrificed and the bird saved. He was
otherwise clever bird. In the house to
which he was taken there was among
other visitors a gentleman rather noted
for volubility. When the parrot first
heard him 1t listened In silence for some
time, then to the amazement of all
present 1t said very emphatically, "You
talk too muchl" The gentleman, at first
embarrassed, presently resumed his in
terrupted discourse. Thereupon the
parrot laid his head on one side, gave an
lndescribably comical and contempt
uous "H'm-ml" and added, "There he
goes again!'
