Kind Word for Women who are not Hand.

it, romancers furnish il in abundance to their
heroines, dramatists use it as the motive of
their m.ss stirring plays, painters and soulp.
tors delight to portray it; all the world wor

the noble qualities of ugly little women. There
is often more charm in the vitality, energy, un-
sslfishness and gaiety of au ugly little woman
than in half dozen tall, queenly beauties,
who have t, be on the watch all the time to
poee well and make their points effective.
There have been men in the world who thought
it O fine thing to say shat "sn ugly woman has
no place in the economy of nature Bot if
the records of the world were intelli gbly writ
ten it would be found that ugly little women
have been the heroines, the hel pmates of the
heroes. 1t is the function of beauty to get men
into trouble. Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Aary
Queen of Scots, and hundreds of others, where
ever they came they brought calamity. Beau
ty and anguish have walked hand in hand the
downward slope te death, and whenever the
poet dreams of fair women he is sure to dream
something dolefn' If he were to have a
dream of ugly little women it would be full of
brightness, loyalty, devotion. sincerity, forti-
tude and all those other lovAble female quail
ties that make some happy. Tall Beauty is
epic; Little Ugly is lyric, hemelike. jest

cluster around the hearth, for the merry little

darkened sok.room, where she brings rest and
comfort. pretty is as pretty does" is an old
maxim, who 50 troth is only half appreciated.
For in the plsioness of fest are and insignifc

found an earnestness, wholesouled SWEET

1t will thrs be seen that the importation of
iron and steel rails fell from sos. .321 tons in
1872 to ~ tons in 1s77-78, bat the production
increased from 2 958 141 tons during the five
years from 1867 to 1871 to 056, ,34O tons durip g
the five years from 1873 to 1877, an increase of
81 per cent.
These are facts and figures at which the
English iron makers dc not take comfort in
looking, especially as they are we'll aware that
we have ample facilities to produce all the
rails we shall need for years to come, ut prices
to the manufacturers, if there be any at ALL are
now exceedingly small, both here and in EGG
land where an engineering authority lately
declared that Thousands of steel rails are pro-
duced at no profit whatever, and if the manu-
fscturer can get from 25 cents to 62i cents
ton above cost he deems himself fortunate.
Even at such prices the Germans are under
bidding the English. A Westphalian firm late
" took o contract for steel rails below the
English rates. though they have to go to Eng
land for the raw material.

THE SAVING OF 1T.
st. Louis Republican.

correspon den, who thinks that substitu-
tion of green backs for national bank notes
would not and could not result in the payment
of the bonds ON which the national bank cur
rency is based, and therefore "the government
would not save farthipg of interest by re-
pealing the national bank law" He argues
that the bonds held by the national banks
would still belong to them after the bank act
was repealed; that these bonds are not get pay
able, and the banks would not be willing to
have them paid before they became due ; and
further, that these bonds, when payable, are
payable in coin, and the government would
have 30 right to pay them in greenbacks.
In reply We state that the proposed substi-
tuition does not require the payment of the
particular bonds belonging to the national
banks and deposited with the United States
object would be accomplished by using the
$322. 900 coo new greeabacks to pay other bonds
that are payable. There are several hundred
millions of these payable bonds they bear 6
and per cent, and the Secretary Of the Treas,
ury is DOW calling them in, paying them end
issuing per cent in their stead. When the
national bank notes are recalled the govern
ment would issue an equal amount of new
greeDbscks in place Of them, and these new
greenbscks would be used to take up these IL
tereet bearing bonds that are now pay able and
this would certainly save q SOM equal to the
interest on the bonds.
It makes little difference whether the bonds
are pay able in coin or greenbacks. They were
payable originally in greenbacks in 1869 an
act was passed making them payable in coin,
but it would be easy and not unjust to pass
another act making them payable in green
backs. But even admitting that they should
one per cent. to do this. as green backs are now
worth 994, gold being 100. We assert again,
therefore, that it would be Q saving to substi.
tute greenbacks for the national bank cur
rency, and Secretary MoCrsry was speaking
without warrant when, in his Keokuk speech,
he assert ted the contrary.

Mr.. VIM. J. Thoms, whose name is very
widely known as q keen critic of the records
of the alleged centenarisns, as received from
DR.. j. G. Tache, deputy head of the Census
Department of Canada, the report of an ir-
quiry into 81 cases of alleged centenarianism.
OF the eghty-two, no les. than thirty one
claimed to have attained 100 years. nine
claimed TO be 1o1, and eleven to be 1O2; and
while only four claimed to be 1O3 and the
same number 104, less than nine put forth
the higher pretension of having reached los.
Three claimed to be 10G. and the like number
los; only one 109; while four bossted of hav-
ing reached no less than 1l0. The three olde t
on DR.. Tache's list, claim credit for having
reached no less than 112, lib and 120 years re.
spectively. o: tbe.e eighty.two cases, DR..
Tache shows that seventy-three have no claim
to be considered centenariaps, but retufns
nine as having in his opinion claims to be con-
sidered as having reached and in some instsn-
ces outlived century. Two of the doctors

and 113; bat some of the other claimants had
to submit to a remarkable process of rejuven-
alton, in one case q man who claimed to be 100

present opinion: is that no authenticated case

duced, but he is prepared to modify it on sat

THE NEW BONANZA.
THE FRENZY OF 1874 REPEATED IN THE SAN
FRANCISCO STOCK EXCHANGE.

San Francisco sept IS Stock gambling is
once more rampant throughout this State and
Nevada. The rspidity with which fortunes are
won and lost is absolutely startling. After a
long period of stagnation in the stock market,
and the absence of new ore strikes in the
Comstock, the discovery of an extensive bo-
nanzA north Of the Consolidated Virginia and
Cali rornia has literally set people wild. There
has been nothing like it since the frenzy of the
last months of 1874 Shares in Sierra Nevada,
Union and Mexican, which we're selling at S.
So and $12 in June, are now fetching $40, Sl60
and Sis.
For two or three years past Sierra Nevada
shares have been almott worthless, and many
holders had abandoned their shares rather
than pay the assessments, which have been
levied with psinful regularity. Six months
ago 1000 shares could have been bought for
$1,000; to day they are worth 1920, ,000 and may
be worth $50, 600 or $500 900 to- morrow.
1t is these rapid charges and appreciatioDs
the chance of getting IN for next to nothing
and coming out with O fortune, that demoral-
ICES all clts 'es and turns this people into
community of gam blers. To 60 largely into
Sierra Nevada or Union now requires heavy
investment of capital, and the shares have
gone beyond the reach of the general public;
hears of some one who had the good fortune to
invest 500 when the stock was 81 share, and
who is now the happy possessor of 800 900, is
ready to rush into the first worthless wild
cat" that is offered at so cents or 81, and just
now wild cats arc q prolific race. at least $50
new companies, with an aggregate nominal
capital of 81 500 600 OOO have been incorpo-
rated within the last sixty days, and the
chances are that not one iu fifty of these so.
called mines will ever produce ore. A few
shrewd and fortunate men will bs large gain
ers by this speculative mania, but ninety-niue
out of every hundred of their humble and lily
informed followers will lose all the money they
may be silly enough to venture. So far as an
outsider can Judge of their actions and methods,
the managers of the Sierra Nevada, are treat
ing the public very fairly. They permit free
sccess to an examination of the mine, and do
not pretend to possess exclusive knowledge of
the extent or richness of the newly discovered
ore body. The pu bile are grstified that the
new bonanza is in independent hands who are
free from all connection with Flood s. O'Brien
and their partners in the Consolidated Vir-
ginia and California. The Nevada Bank party
are not popular in San Francisco. and without
expressing any opinion as to the justice of the
popular prejudice against that powerful and
influential firm, it must be conceded that the
general interests of San Francisco will be pro-
NOTED by diversion of the wealth of the new
bonanza to other and competing capitalists.

that "living they should be debarred entrance
into the church and dying be deprived of
Christian sepulture."
This is q privilege granted to BshoTs which
they may use or not at their discretion. In no
case is the carrying out of this penalty within
the competence of parish priest. He can not
aeny any member of his congregation entrance
into the church neither can he refuse him
Christian sepulture.
But the Ritual itself is the best authority on
this subject. Therein are given all the reasons
for denying Christian sepult1re. As to those
who neglect their Easter obligations it pro-
vides that they may be deprived of Christian
burial if they died without Civ ing any sign OF
contrition. Some priests have interpreted this
provision with horrible rigor. They demand
proof of contrition, when the burden of the
proof rests on themselves; and o sign not an
argument of contrition is all that 10 required. J..
Calling for priest is q sign Of contrition. So
is the invocation of the sacred names, the ut
tering of Q prayer, the making of the sign of
the cross. The new work of Father Kane IS ex-
cellent authority on this subject. As to those
who neglect their Easter duties he says the
parish priest may publicly exhort his people
to perform their paroohial obligs tion, especial
ly at the close of the pasohal period. If that
should fail he may privately remonstrate with
him. Should that too prove unavailing, he
may denounce him to the ordinary. "a priest
can not 60 farther than this" he says. Should
any further measures be Iesorted to the au-
thority of the Bishop must be invoked.
Priests should bear in mind that they must
not be wiser or more prudent than the Church.
Where she chooses to show mercy they may
not be severe. They should bear in mind, also,
that the Church's laws are made for priests as
well as for people. The priest who denies
Christian burial without cause is as guilty as
the layman who negleots his Easter duty
without Cause. When Doctor johnson COM
posed his dictionary, be defined pastern, "the
knee of O horse" When asked what caused
him to make the blander he answered "lgno-
rance, pure ignorance" Those priests who re-
fuse Christian burial solely on the grounds of
failure to make Easter duty can claim the
Johnsonian exten uetion.

THE RIGHT OF CHRISTIAN SEPuzrURE E

The Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph, edited by
Father o'Csllaghan, republishes the following
which appeared as an editorial in q recent
number of the st. Louis Watohman which is
edited by Father Phelan:
One of the severest penalties inflicted by the
Church upon violators of her law is the denial
Of Christian burial. This punishment is rare
~ resoIted to ss it falls as much or more on the
innocent living as upon the guilty dead. Chris
Clan burial sbould seldom be denied and never
except by the authority of the ordinary. The
denial OF Christian burial is penalty "ferenda
sententi%, in this all theologisns agree. 1t
can not be imposed by the parish priest.
