4 LIE TO TIE TEETH.

Officer Smith made affidavit at the
Tombs Court yesterday that Mary o.
Hallohan was lyiug ON stairway in
Rector street in a wretched state of in
toxication. Mary stood at the bar, with
a handkerchief tied abouther face. listen
ing attentively to the policeman's testi-
m0ny.
"Oh, Your Honor, Judge" she said, 'fI
haven't tasted drop of liquor this
twelve month. 1 came over from Ho-
boken to have tooth pulled, and after
it was pulled l was so weak that L sat
down to rest, and the officer took me in.
| haven't tasted liquor in three years,
Your Honor"
The officer remarked, aside, that it was
too thin; and the Magistrate, struck with
a happy idea, asked the prisoner to show
her teeth. Mary Redeemed to the ears,
and said it panied her SO much to open
her mouth wide that she hoped he would
not insist upon it. But the Magistrate
persisted, and Mary disclosed a set OF
teeth not one of which was missing. "Six
months ON the Island" was the only COM
ment Of the Judge.-N. Y. Herald.

complaint on the score of Lent. It was
said that while fewer joints are sold dur
ing this season, the difference Is almost
made up by the increased sales of SOUP
meats, and even of chops and steaks,
"for," said large dealer, "there certainly
Is folks who don't consider chops and
steaks as meat during Lent or at least,
not as meat in the religious meaning."-
Without inquiring into the logic or force
OF this alleged distinction, it can be said
that the butchers generally disclaim any
marked decrease in the demand for their
wares and seem to care little for Lent as
o matter of business. ..
The dieting laws governing the obser-
vance OF the fast days of Lent among the
catholics are numerous and interesting.
The Council of Laodicca (about 363) pre-
scribed the use of dry food during all the
fast days of Lieut.. The Council of Toledo
in GAG forbade the use of flesh meat. Wine
Oil and animal food were prohibited on
fast days, and are so still in the Greek
Chur IN. In the West the use of all kinds
of food, except flesh, eggs, cheese and
wine, was allowed, and became general
after the eleventh century; later even
these were permitted, flesh alone being
excepted. In the present discipline of
the Roman Catholic Church only one
meal Is allowed, and at this the use of
meat is prohibited, Custom allows
slight refreshment not exceeding two
OUNCES in the morning; and other not ex-
ceeding eight ounces In the evening. In
most parts of the United States meat IL
allowed two or three times week accord
ing to the rules laid down by each bishop
for his diocese, but fish and flesh are
never allowed at the same meal. In
other churches, where the rules are less
strict, the Lenten term is still regarded
as a penitential season, and observed
accordingly.
The daily gazette., 1877-02-14

"Such is Life in louisiana" is the
very appropriate quotation which closes
the burlesque Cooper Cary certificate
from that State, as read before the Joint
convention OF Congress yesterday. Certi-
ficate after certificate had been read, each
and every one purporting TO set forth the
true and honest vote of Louisiana for
President and President. And
then, as fitting climax to this farce OF
Republican institutions came the bur-
lesque from the Smith family. Several
members of both houses appeared rather
restiye during its reading, and vainly en-
deavoredto choke it off. Why anybody
should object to the reading is not clear.
The demagogues of Louisiana have been
running matters in that State in such
fashion as to fully justify the Smiths in
organizing themselves into an Electoral
College and casting their votes for Coop
er and Cary. Taking into consideration
all the circumstances of the case, the
Cooper and Cary certificate appears to be
about as well authenticated, and as much
entitled to the consideration of the Elec-
toral Commission as one of the certif-
Gates.
