Editors Intelllernecr.
1 ask space in your columns TO deny Ger
tain false statements contained in yester-
days Pittsburgh Lauder, in reference to the
libel suit brought bya certain priest named
Casanova against Rev. Father kreusch.
In the iirst placG il Is not true that Ctsa-
nova lost his placGin C0lifOTniaOn account
OF the letters written by Father Krcnscll.
Archbishop Alamany depOSel that no had
already notified Casanova tliat his services
were no longer needed, before llo heard
from Father kreusCh anything about Cas-
anova's conduct whilst in Wheeling.
Hence, the statement made by the LNdder
is false. u
In the next place, 1t is false that Father
kreusclI even refused TO show his ne
counts or books TO mo or anyone duly au-
thori1ed to examine them. lie makes his
annual report faithfully, and he is always
ready to place his books in my hands for
inspection.
Were the editors Oithe LnGder honorable
journalists, they would exclude such libel
GUS matter from their columns, and not
content themselves with the paltry excuse
that they gave these reports ''Hs told with
out vOuGhing for their VenICity.' 1t is u
mean and daStarlly assault upon the char
acter ola venerable and worthy priest.

pRoN MOST REv. ALANNSY, op SAN PRAS-
CISCO, CAL, TIIH ORIGINAL NOW IN TIE
POSSESSION OF ATTORNEY n. J. CLARK, OF
THIS CITY. H.a
SAN FRANCISCO, August 3, 1878. /.
Rev. DEAN SIE:-I am very sorry to per.
ceive that Rev. Casanova has so far forgot
ten his character Us TO institute suit against
you, when he should have known, il he
had any cause Of complaint, lie should
have applied. to ecclesiastical authority,
which would have duly and justly dealt
with him. When he came here seeking TO
be allowed the exercise Of thGministry, lie
looked SO very innocent that after due con-
sultatiOn ! I determined to give him u trial.
1t was not, however, very long when !
discovered that he mcdllcd with money
matters rather in u way prescribed by our
diocesan statutes. In the mean ting, he
brought me complaints about the man
ner in which the house affairs OF the par
ish were conducted, in which my exam.
~ination led me TO believe that be had a
rancorous spirit and n desire to create
trouble when there was no cause Tor it.
| was also informed that he complained OF
the administration TINT Is in vig0r in this
diocese for the due direction OF pastors
and their assistants. All this naturally
led me to think that the sooner | would
part with him, the better for me and my
diocese, 80 ! notified him that his services
were no more needed. Just after this was
done ] was informed that YOU had written
TO Father Julius Herde, c%antIoning him
against said Casanova, rs having given
you trouhlci In which l think you did
only what yon should have done, because
at no time was there greater necessity
than ut present of securing good and edii
flying %clergymen.
Very respectfully and truly yours in
Christ. IOSSPM S. AEENANY,
Archbishop OF San Francisco.

Written on Both Sides.

Very frequently we see newspaper
correspondents admonished to write on
one side of the paper only, if they wish
to see their articles published, and it
must be admitted that this is very wise
rule, but of course it has its exceptions.
For instance, we received a "pome"
Monday evening, and had the writer been
careful to write on one side of the paper
only, it is very much to be feared that
her literary effort would have found oon-
genial fellowship in the waste basket,
but under the circumstances we can not
refrain from giving specimen stanza
from each side. The poem was headed
'' The Country" and the poetess struck
her gait as follows:
oh, love to bask in Natures smile,
Under the greenwood tree,
With naught in view save the rolling nelds.
on, the country's the place for me.
This is all very well OF course, and no
one could justly complain of her desire
TO get under the greenwood tree and
bask in Natures smile, but the other side
of the page told a different story. 1t was
the commencement of letter, and in
prose the poetess talked as follows:
Dear Pa Il wish you would come down
here and get me just as soon as you can:
The country is perfectly horrid, and would
rather bake in the city than stay down
here in this poky place. Aunt Jane says

Habits of Carrier Pigeons.

Frank j. Peeters, the carrier pigeon
fancier of Troy, was in town yesterday
with number of birds, for the purpose
of putting them to trial flights. In
company with Judge Willard he sent
nine of them off on the Mohawk River
bridge at the foot of Genesee Street.
The birds took flight handsomely, some
rising until lost to sight and all striking
bee line for Troy. Mr.. Peeters and
Mr.. Richardson, of Green Island, sever
al days ago let two go in this city on a
trial match. The day was hazy and the
birds failed to get the proper direction.
The consequence was they returned
eventually to the city. One was found
on Fayette Street, and died soon after
from exhaustion. The other was found
near Bagg's Hotel, and was injured
while being captured, being mistaken
for a wild pigeon, and also died. Inas-
much as the flying of pigeons through
this latitude is likely to continue, it
may be well for all to note the following
characteristics of carrier birds, so that
they may not be unfortunately mistaken
for those of other specimens. The car
rier pigeon is always of a uniform color,
never mottled. There are broad white
circles around its eyes, which are hawk
like in clearness. The nose from the
head proper to the beak is unusually
broad. Carrier pigeons also bear the
names of their owners on their wings,
but the other characteristics mentioned
tance and thus do them no harm. The
trial flights yesterday were preliminary
to match which Mr.. Peeters
expects to start from this city
next week. He says if the
weather is not hazy any match for the
distance of hundred miles should be
successful. Misty or rainy weather does
not obstruct birds vision so much as
hazy weather, when it is almost always
nonplussed. He thinks that the faculty
possessed by the bird to find its way
back to its native cot is due almost en-
tirely to its memory of places. Young
birds are trained by taking them farther
and farther away from home until they
have finally, as it were, memorized a
long distance. Birds that have once
reached Troy successfully from Utica
can the next time be taken to Syracuse.
If on rising from the latter place they
can see Utica then their flight to Troy is
probable. If they can not see Utica, or
some other place they remember, they
circle round Syracuse, and if they still
fail to recognize any landmarks, event
ually return to that city, bewildered and
often exhausted. At such times they
fall prey to evil disposed persons, and
perhaps often to well-meaning people,
who think they are bagging some game
by capturing them. As the best of
pigeons are apt to go astray, any one
finding them can do no greater favor to
the owner than by sending them to him
Immediately, G. o. D., according to the
would make it point to do this an inn
petus would be given to praiseworthy
sport.-Uica IN. ~ Herald.

At Sunset.
1t was Just the close of day.

1t was Just the close of day.
The west shone in scarlet splendor,
and dimpled cloud ships lay serenely
clustered in sun-kissed argosies over
the peaceful vale, where all was sweet
tranquility.
The robin was chanting his vesper
song, and the roses dropped indolently
in the balmy breeze, and seemed watt
ed to a realm of delicious visions.
At this heaven-fraught hour wan
dered down a woodland avenue with
girl whose beauty is beyond description.
Her large black eyes looked fondly into
mine as we sat on fallen tree. Her
soft, jeweled fingers lay in mine. Oh,
heavenly moment. | could feel her
warm breath on my cheek, for our lips
almost touched. She asked me in fall
tering accents:
"Were you ever in loveP"
"Never till now," replied.
And then she looked at me most low
ingly, and drew her close to my bo-
som, and was just kissing her for the
second time when the vision broke, and
l paid the dentist and left. 1t was my
first experience with nitrous oxide gas.
