How the Beaver Works.

When beaver finds a tree which
seems suited to his purpose, he stands
erect, steadying himself by means Of
his tail, and cuts groove around the
trunk. This groove he gradually makes
deeper and wider, until, when the tree is
nearly cut off, it has very much the shape
of an hour-glass. Then he goes round
the tree, turns his head on one side, just
as you have seen an old wood-chopper
do, and makes up his mind which way
he wants the tree to fall In short
time he has it down and cut up in pieces
a yard or SO in length. These pieces are
carried to the place where the dam is to
be built. The beaver fastens them firm
ly in the ground and fills around them
with small sticks, mud and stones. Per-
haps you have heard that the beaver
plasters the mud down with his tail ;
but this is said to be untrue by those
who have watched him at his work He
strips off the bark from the wood he
cuts, and hides it away at the bottom of
the dam, weaving it in and out between
the logs to strengthen the foundations.
The beavers dam is sometimes two or
three hundred yards long and ten or
twelve feet thick. His house or lodge
looks very much like a savage's hut,
and is built with underground passages
connecting with the water. These are
so far below the surface that they can
not be closed with ice, and the beaver
can always go out to get his food with
out being seen from the land.

Canadian Sports.

The English element in Canada has
lost none of it's wanted fondness for the
sports Of flood and field; finding fuller
vent in the free scope Of our woods and
waters. and the wildness and abundance
of our game. There is indeed a ''new
world" opened to the lover of gun and
rod from the old land across the sea,
who here finds himself the luxurious
monarch Of all he can bag from sunrise
to sunset, with no other let or hinder
than those which the CORY pot-hunters
compel.
Does he come in quest Of the wary
moose and running caribou, the quail
thief of the corn-feld, the nud-loving
snipe, the stupid pheasant, the pine
loving grouse, the cosmopolitan plover,
the strategic partridge, the saucy wood
duck, the shy black duck; does he
court the bear, wolf, beaver, marten,
mink or the otter, or does he WOO the
salmon, the trout, ct hoe genus ona'le,-
here he may find everywhere food for
sportsman's fancy. If his spirit waxeth
hot to chase the fox, [ can commend
him to the courtesy of the Montreal
Fox Hunt, who will give him fences to
leap harder than any English hedge,
and fox to run down, cunning as an
Indian. From find to finish he will
have all his nerve and daring can do,
with the clear blue Canadian skies
above, and the hard, dry ground below,
None of your fogs and swamps, wet to
the skin, and mud to the eyes, horses,
hunters, hounds, all color, and wild
splitter of slop when the carcass, head,
pads, and brush excepted, is thrown to
the yelping frothy dogs. Or doth his
fancy turn to thoughts of football,
yachting, rowing, cricket, golf, here he
will find acclimatized and natural as
life, the recreations, good, bad, and
abominable, high and low, costly and
cheap, princely and plebeian, of almost
every country on the face of earth.
Some of the worst immigrants have
brought us their best diversions. The
footprints of the earliest known Indian
races are left in their peculiar games;
the very Mennonites, the last arrivals,
have fixed their pastimes among the
settlers Of the far West.
Canadian sports, however, have a
character Of their own. They smack
more OF the ungoverned and ungovern-
able than the games of the Old World,
and seem to resent the impost of regu-
lations.-Dr. Beers !, Sc1bner's 8. Midsu,n-

To Ladies'.

In marrying, make your own match,
do not marry any man to get rid Of
him or to oblge him or to save him.
The man who would go to destruction
without you viii quite as likely go with
you, and perhaps drag you along. Do
not marry in haste, lest you repent at
leisure; do not marry for home and
a living, when by taking care of your
health you can be strong enough to
earn your own living Do not place
yourself habitually in the society of
any sutton until you have decided the
question of marriage human wills
are weak, and people often become
bewildered, and do not know their err
ror until too late Get away from their
influence, settle your head, and make
up your mind alone. "A promise may
be made in moment of sympathy, or
even half delicious ecstasy, which must
be redeemed through years of sorrow,
toll and pain Do not rush thoughtless-
ly, hastily into welded life, contrary to
the counsels of yonr best friends. Love
can wait that which cannot wait Is
something of very different char
acter.

Pulling Names.

Since the war broke out between Rus
STA and Turkey, telegraphic editors have
been sent to the mad house by the dozen,
They have racked their brains in the
endeavor to study out some of the Rus
sian names of generals, and this fact
puts us IN mind of poem we once read
of Russian personages. 1t runs as fol
lows. Read it carefully:
Once young Russian nobleman,
NJ. Outosocks the son of
An officer of the frontier clan, ae
Old BustissnootanrunoH,
Was weak enough to fall in love
With Mam'Selle Orfulfriski.
Who was the only daughter of
The tanner ofJug-o-is-ki.
But she already engaged $50 t..-
To Monsieur Nockislegsoff
Who was the nephew of the aged
As essor Omiwgsoff.
The day already had been set;
The priest, old Chawmiearoff
Was spoken to to tie the knot
Along with Neverswearzoff.
The guests had even got their bids.
Among them. SmelOmuski,
The keeper of the royal kids
And lawyer DryanhuskI
And all the big bugs of the town
From Mayor Blominozoff.
Who was to give the bride. on down
To CumanbrushmicloZoff.
Seeing all was up the groom refused
His Cruel of cod liver;
And since she had her abused,
Swore he would not forgive her,
And challenged this young Outosocks
Through Colonel Nockmichinoff;
1t accepted by his friend,
Lieutenant Sawmishinotf.
That morn each made hasty meal
Of soap grease oil of castor,
And with their swords sought to reveal
Which one of them was master.
Young Outosocks was killed. and Mock

Then blew his brains out on the spot
With q two-cent talow candle,
When Orfulfriski heard their fate,

A Novel in one Chapter.

r. The following is from a Paris paper.
It may be true, but it is more likely to
be a product Of the imagination AS a
story it is rather good Here is the
story Of an unfortunate young lawyer.
This unlucky wight was head over heels
in love with beautiful girl, and was
about to be married to her On the eve
of the wedding day he was called in to
defend an awful miscreant-a man of
3O-who had poisoned his mother and
father. The case seemed a lost one,
and when the prosecution had closed,
the young lawyer was just about giving
up the struggle without an effort. Sud
denly he perceived in the far extremity
of the court room his beloved and her
parents, who had come to see what
kind Of stuff he was made of. The
presence of the one he worships changes
his train of thought He feels that he
must make show of talent and COM
nencing his argument rises to the high
est flights of eloQuence. In word, he
succeeded in showing that the criminal
is an upright, virtuous and much-abused
man. and obtains his acquittal. In the
evening, the lawyer, with triumphant
air, calls at the house Of his future
father-in-law, expecting that his success
will insure him a warm reception. To
his surprise, he finds the young girl
cold and her parents much embarrassed
My friend, says he, whom the young
man had already begun to call father-in-
law, must tell you-my daughter
loves another Another! Who is the
manr The good and virtuous man
whom you to-day, by your eloquence
restored to society, replies the father.

Panic in St. AIphOusus Church

Last Sunday morning, at. the half past
O'Clock Mass, there was quite scene ofterror
and confusion among the usually quiet wor-
shippers at st. Alphonsus church. Father
Neithart had just concluded q little sermon on
hell fire for those Christians that violate the
commandments of God and His holy church
and was continuing the Mass when some
fellow in the rear of the church, imagining
that he perceived smoke cried out Fire. In an
instant the whole congregation, numbering
about 5000 school children and grown persons,
sprang to their feet, and amid deafening
cries and noise rushed over the pews and
down the staircases towards the doors. One
boy leapod out of window from the gallery
into the adjoining school yard, but utluckily was
not hurt. AS usual, number ofladies tainted,
and one of them was reported seriously in
jured. Oshers lost their wells, fans, parasols,
books and beads, which they threw away in
the general rush to escape the fsnoied danger.
Several hundred old and young women Jumped
over the communion railing, and, with up
lifted hands and fearful eyes, implored Father
Eeithsrt to save them from being burnt alive.
Meanwhile there was not the shadow of
danger, nor a spark of fire in or near the
church. But, a quare off an old chimney had
caught hre, which was eXtlnguished' by q
negro servant in few minutes. After about
quarter of an hour of ridiculous rushing and
screaming, the excited crowd returned to
their senses and to their pews, where they re-
mained till the end of the Mass, and then
quietly went home, wondering at their own
childish folly, and resolving not to make fools
of themselves ct another silly cry of fire.

girls, on similar occasions, not to lose their
light heads, bat 70 keep cool and quiet, and to

The Celebration.

| 1t is unnecessary for US to cay much by
way of commentary on the celebration of
last Sunday. Our columns are full of de-
eloquently than could any suggestions from
US. One of the principal points of interest
was the affiliation between tae people and
the military. Some time sgo, by reason of
| the false position (which the army vas by
politicians made to assume in our midst,
there was manifest distrust and reserve
between it's members and the population.
The cause of that GOODNESS having been re-
moved, it remained to be seen whether the
feeling itself would disappear. Upon that
point there can no longer be doubt since
the proc eedings of last Sunday. The peO
pie evidently looked on them as "our col
diers," not as "our enemies" and their
kind feeling was as clearly reciprocated.
No attempt will be here made to give
even synopsis of the able addresses of
DR.. Layton and Mr.. McCaleb: turn the
leaf and they will speak for themselves
with such interest that no one will wish
for an epitome of them. Fully, fairly and
inteiiigently discussing the great topics of
which they treat, we recommend those
discourses to the careful perusal of all
even of those who have reason to think
Themselves familiar with their subjects.
In fine, the great demonstration of the
day was very creditable to New Orleans.
Almost impromptu, as it was, without any
great display of organized societies, such
as We have seen here, it was rather a spon-
taneous popular outpouring. All honor to
every Catholic who made some sacrifice of
time or means or comfort to signalize his
DEVOTION to an imprisoned father.

fering will be thereby 90 much the more
prolonged. AS long as the equilibrium OF
labor remains disordered so long the over
crowded avocations must suffer from
scarcity of employment. This is to be de-
plored when we know that every healthy,
able bodied man can on farm in this cli-
mate make good living for himself and
family. Tbis is beyond any shadow of
doubt.
If spirit of effort in that direction were
once known to exist, facilities would i'm
mediately spring up. Planters would bid
for labor that they now consider beyond
their reach societies would be formed to
direct the movement so that proper loca-
tions would be selected; information as to
health, as to facilities for school and church,
as to honesty of employees etc. would be-
come accessible.
"Where there is will tkere is way"
but where there is no will it would be folly
TO prepare the way.

Sister Mary COLUMBIA.

EQttor morning olar.
The death of Sister NJ. COLUMBIA at the Con.
vent of Mercy on Ascension Thursday, failed
not to carry grief to the hearts of many,
and especially the pupils of st. Aiphopsus
school to whom she had been go devoted. The
writer who had the happiness of knowing
Sister COLUMBIA during the period of her con-
vent life would like to pay some fitting tribute
to her memory, but oh! how difficult to write
of "Sister of Mercy" in a manner to be ap-
preciated! Her live is different from
ours so little known, except by God, and yet
who more deserving of honor and praise than
one who devotes herself to the service of God,
| the ministering unto the poor and the afflicted.
| Sister COLUMBIA born in st. Louis,
| Sept 2lst, 1856. of IriSh parents, whom she
| lost while still child. She for the most
part educated in the Conven of Mercy in that
city, the Mother Superior of the Convent of
Mercy in this city being her teacher for sew
eral years. The only epochs marked in her
diary are the dates of her First Communion,
Confirmation, Reception and Profession. 81
began to read my vows" she wrote, "precisely
at quarter past eight Whitmonday, 1875
Deo Gratias."
She entered st. Alphonsus Convent of Mercy
in her sixteenth year, and died in her twenty
first. She was known only for her virtues
especially her zeal. Till very near the close
of her short life che would be helped to the
school when unable to walk, to teach and in
struct her little ones, and she frequently said
that separation from them was the greatest
sorrow of her illness. In her community she
was remarkable for her gentleness, smiability,
aud self-sacrifciDg disposition, and was never
known t , refuse to oblige any one, or to do an
obligipg act in o disobliging manner. For the
rest her "life Is hidden with Christ in God.'
We may hope that God gave her in sanctity
what He took from her in years, and that, as
RevHFather Giesen remarked at her obsequies,
''she merely passed through this earth as a
bird among flowers; in o short time she fulill
ed long space" Her funeral, which took
place on Friday evening from the Convent
Chapel, was, as it ought to be, truly Catholic,
preceded by the Priest of God, aud followed
by purity and innocence. The pail. bearers
eight of the largest girls-walked beside the
hearse, followed by the children of st. Alphon-
sus school, who on the day previous, had made
their First Communion; the children frcm St.
Alphonsus Orphan Asylum and the Children
of Mary. All with sad hearts Joined in paying
the last tribute of-affection to the departed by
accompanying her remains to st. Joseph's Gem
etery.
Thus after q short but well-spent life on
earth, she passed from ministering to human
wants and atflictions, to happy eternity with
the blessed in Heaven, leaving to us the
bright example of her life for our edifcation
and imitation.
May her soul rest in peace and her memory
be cherished by those whom she loved so WE'LL

a Cn1LB OF MARY.

A LIE Some person, as yet unknown,
sent a telegram last week to the New York
World reporting the dangerous illness OF
the Archb bishop of Cincinnati. What may
have been the object of this outrageous lie,
unless it be to create newspaper sensa-
tiOn, no sane man can determine. On the
stI ongth of this report other papers imme.
diately published obituaries of the dying
prelate. 1t is hardly necessary for us to
say at this hour that there was no truth in
the report. The Archbishop is in most OK.
