The Color in the Teapot.

|
The sons Of tho prophets at Gilgal
There is dyO in tho pot say
Ching Lun Pin, tho now Ambassador
from China. This gentleman ha'
been inquired Of in bis official capacity
in regard to green and black ten, il
all its varieties and shades Of varieties
Of color. Chief among tho questions
asked him is that as to why tho Chinese
color the tea they send US aud put SC
many things into it for which wo have
no use, and which are deleterious in
their nature aud operations. Pin
replies that bis eountrymen are giving
US what We seem to want; that We
have encouraged them in tho use Of
these pernicious Ingredients, and that
il We desire pure aud unadultcFated
tea We must set our faces against the
p5cpostcrous mixtures with which the
Celestials persist in dosing US.
So, then. If we poison ourselves
with the dying contents Of our tcapots
it is all our own fault. We may call
John Chiuaman a knaye for putting
such things in our tea, and ho muy
retort by calling US fools for paying
him for the same. But whatever
kuayery or foolishness is in the majority
there are deep aud dark mysteries in
tho teapot which tca-drinkcts but dimly
understand. II is we'll known by
those who see behind tho curtain that
at many Of tho cheaper hotels and
restaurants the black and green teas
arc drawn from tho same spigOt.

black tea away and bring cup Of

Noticing the Recently reported appointment
of Bishop Elder, of Natchez, to hs co-adiutor of
the Archbishop OF Gan Francisco, the Catholic
Telegraph, of Cincinnati, says:
At the urgent request Of the good and ven
cradle Archbishop of San Francisco, Bishop
Elder, Of Matches, has been appointed his eead-
jutor, with the right of succession. The whole
American Church will gladly unite III graft
tude to God and the Holy See for this appoint
mept. Bishop Elder, one of the. nobleSt alu-
mni of that nursery of bishops, lit St. MAry's,
Emmitseburg. true representative of the rO-
bust faith and virtues of tho early Catholic
settlers of ofMRryland, would adorD any See with
his piety and learning. The Golden Shore of
the Paciio will soon learn to esteem him as
| deeply as do tho now suffering people of
Natc6eE. His work in Mississippi during the
twenty years Of his episcopate tells long nm:
broken story of great missionary labor and
sacrifice. BE had q stubborn soil to deal With
in many places Of his poverty stricken diocese,
| bot it yielded to the constant culture of his
restless zeal he leaves to his successor far
| richer inherit ance than he receiyed-the fruit
1 Of bis wonderful devotion, and the memory of
bis apostolic example"

THE FABLE OF THE "WANDERING JEW"
A correspondent at Fall River asks Us to
tell him what truth, if any, there is in the
legend of the "Wandering Jew"
It was a fiction of the Middle Ages.
The earliest account of it known, was
given by that gull of the Thirteenth Gem
tury, Matthew Paris, of st. Albans, whose
privilege it is to bs the rival of Little
John of Salisbury, in telling improbable
stories. The fable, as told by Matthew
Paris, is attributed to hanger on of an
Armenian Archbishop, who came, after
the manner of the Orientals, on a begging
tour to England. The fable was that this
Jew struck our Lord on His dolorous Way
of the Cross, and bid Him "go;" aud that
our Lord, turning on his insnlEer, said: 'I
go. / will return again. Tarry till /
comew Farther, the early fable ran, that
this Jew, converted, took the name of
Joseph led, and leads. pious life, never
sleeping twice iu the same place, and
waiting, in fear, the second coming of our
Lord. The fable is superstitious, offensive
to pious ears, and worthy of such despics.

thew Paris was,--N. 2. FreemGn'S Jc4trnal

THE HEROIC HowARDs.
From the pemocrstio.

The administration of the organization is
how in thorough working order and business
Us transacted most expeditiously. To one who
ds . stranger to the work of the Howards 1t
would seem remarkable how rapidly relief is
Afforded by them. "A little girl or some old
woman comes to headquarters and reports o
scase-the name, address and number of cases
in the house. A member then details q nurse
nom those in the waiting room and gives q
note to some one of the Howard Association
physicians. The member visits the place, notes
the condition Of the patient, and If the party
without money enough is left with the
arGe to provide all that will be necessary until
ne next visit. The doctor arrives, prescribes,
and his prescriptions are carried to one of the
association druggists. Once and sometimes
swice q day the members visit the patients in
their district, and at the evening meeting Of
she association each case is looked over, and If
any is unattended to relief is sent ct once.
AS guide to those who require the assist
ance of the association doctors and druggists,
We give the following directory:

THE SOLD CATHOLIC MovEMENr.-At
Conference of the Anglo Continental
Society held at Farnham Castle. under the
presidency of the Bishop of Winchester,
large number of the Anglican bishops
attended, aud the so called "old Catholic
Bishop Herzog took his place among them.
As our readers are aware, the "old Cath
olics" have split into two parties on the
question of the celibacy of the clergy, the
larger number, among whom we presume
we may reckon Bishop Herzog, being in
favor of the marriage of priests, while
others, following such men as Drs. Lsngen
and Reusch, the Wears General of Bishop
Reinkins, refuse to sanction that proceed
ing. It is natural that the advocates of q
married priesthood should throw them
selves into the arms of Anglicanism, and
as they can no logger hope to obtain
episcopal conservation at the hands of the
Dutch Jansenists, they are talking about
having recourse for this purpose to the
Scotch Episcopal Protestant Church, which
they were assured by the Primus of that
Communion, would be ready, should occa-
sion arise, to stretch out to them the hand
of fellowship. This was in view of the
possible establishment Of a national sold
Catholic" communion in France.

not.

|. A melancholy boat accident happened
on Thursday evening on Lough Croghan,
near Sherlock, County Cavan. Mr.. McCabe
| schoolmaster of Cullies National School,
arranged q picnic for the scholars, male
and female, the affair to come off on sepa-
rate days. On Thursday week the fete
was given to the girls, and in the evening,
about half past ak O'Clock, Mr.. McCabe,
his wife, the schoolmistress, Miss Nulty /,
the monitress, Miss Moggary, and thirteen
girls, averaging in years from seven to
6fteeD, entered q boat on Lough Silan for
q row. They embarked at q point called
Croaghan Island, but the small craft being
very much overladen went suddenly to
the bottom, and not o soul of the whole
living freight escaped alive. The accident
was viewed from the shore, the parents of
several of the children being spectators,
but no neaus of rescue were at hand, and
they all perished. The alarm was instantly
raieed, and some young men swam out to
the spot, but withoat being able to render
any assistance. Soon the whole country
side assent bled, and the scene that ensued
is described as appalling beyond descrip-
tion: 1t was fully eleven O'Clock before
the fret of the bodies was recovered, aud
the searching party labored all night in the
work of inging the bodies t. the shore.
As each little one was recognized the rela
tives went into intense fits of grief, and
every countenance was wet with tears.
Croaghan island is in extent about five
acres, and it was after enjoying themselves
here that the parties thought of the row on
the lake. The children who were drown
ed were as follows: Two daughters of
John Reilly, two daughters of John Nc
Cabe two Of Robert DrafRn, one of man
named Thompson. one of Dempsey, one of
Bernard O'Brien, one of o wen Reilly, one
of Thomas McCabe, one of Brian Murray
and one of James Nulty. DR.. McFadden,
the coroner. held an inouest on Friday on
the bodies. The jury, after a long and
patient investigation, found that the de-
ceased seventeen persons met their death
by accidental drowning, caused by the
upsetting of an overcrowded boat.-Dublin
Irishman, Aug 3
