THE WAY or TIE CROSS.
baltimore Mirror.

After the Ascension of jesus Christ into
Heaven, the Christians of Jerusalem wore
wont to visit the places made sacred by
His su Gerings. Step by step they traversed
the way of the cross from the Judgment
seat of Pilate to Calvary's Mount.
When the Apostles had separated and,
having pnne in different directions to preach
the Gospel, had made converts to the faith,
continual streams of Christians poured
into the city of David to visit the scenes
sanctifed by the blood of the Saviour OF
men. So widespread did the devotion be-
come, that pilgrims journeyed thither from
the most distant countries, and the Church
encouraged the devotion of her children.
But as the majority of mankind could

that they are many and great, that several

are applicable to the souls in Purgatory.
In order to gain the indulgences, persons
must, before beginning the devotion, direct
their intention and express desire to gain

sands Of the Pacific ocean yielded
not gold yesterday, the purses Of
the curious panned out luxuriantly.
For miles the great ocean highway
was alive with human and animal
motion. One incessant throng of
vehicles and walking or riding hu-
manity passed to and fro for several
hours.
AT a low estimate this district
was visited by 1000 to 1900 carry
ing accommodations, and by some
10000 more people of all ages, sizes
and nationalities yesterday. Work
in the camp was an impossibility,
for the ground was covered with
sight-seers. High iinks, moder-
ately conducted, held supreme sway.
All was mirth, merriment and an
ticipation of good times. Possibly a
few hundred bushels of the black
and golden sands ware carried away
in small quantities by amateur del
vers, many Of whom thought that
by a little home industry they could
make up the days expenses by sep
arating the golden molecules from
their worthless associates.
Perhaps, after all, the wisest re-
mark was made by an old '49er to
his old "pal," who had stood side
by side with him in many a gulch
and in many a camp. "This is all
right, Bill, for the youngsters, who
haven't seen the true color, but it
won't do for old stagers like you
and me-" Others thought that
there was a chance enough for the
hungry and unemployed to earn a
days living. 1t was better to hunt
gold than to grumblo, and a good
thing might turn up, after all.
Others thought that there was
nothing in it. There wasn't enough
of the "stuff."

A Montreal dispatch Of the 9TH
says:
A fire of a most mysterious and
alarming character occurred on
board the Allan steamship Mora
Wan, which has just arrived, while
in mid-ocean, and which was near
resulting IL 3 dreadful catastrophe.
On the morning Of the 29th ult.
smoke was seen by the b0atswain
issuing from the forehold, and it
was discovered that some bales Of
wooden goods in the loger hold
were on fire. When the matches
were lifted the fiames shot upward,
accompanied by a strange and suifo-
eating smell. The boatswain, who
went below to direct the hose, soon
became overpowered, and was
drawn up almost senseless. The
frSt officer, Thomas, who gallantly
took his place, shared the fate Of
his predecessor, and with difficulty
he was got out alive, BY the perse-
vering efforts of the crew, whose
discipline was beyond all praise, the
FIRE was got under control, but not
without immense loss, as fully one
third of the cargo was thrown over,
board, and the remainder deluged
with water to a serious extent,
When the blaze was extinguished
fully six feet of water remained in
the hold. During the FIRE the sea
was running so high that a boat

Recipe for 1he blues.

Things were looking decidedly
blue yesterday. The weather was
atrocious; the war news perplexing,
the ladies could not get out, aud
the merchants held their heads low.
At the hotels the diniug-rooms re-
hected the same sad and sorry tale.
There was no conversation, and
there was even a few fearful eyes at
some Of the tables. 1t was Just
such a picture that presented itself
to the genial DR.. Reed as he entered
one of the leading houses yesterday
and the following impromptu re-
marks pertinently escaped his lips
in the presence of a Times man;
"The best recipe | know, if you
want to be miserable, is to think
about yourself, how much you have
lost, how much you have made, and
the poor prospect for the future.
A brave man with a soul in him
gets out of such fretful ruts and
laughs at discouragements, rolls up
his sleeves, whistles and sings and
makes the best of life. This earth
never was intended for a paradise,
and man who rises above his dis
ccuragements and keeps his man
hood will be better for his adver-
Sity. Manya noble ship has been
saved by throwing overheard its
most valuable cargo, and many a
man is better and more humane
after he has lost his gold"

1t was this desire to be natural
that made Victor Emanuel shun
society. lie detested public occa-
siOns, because he had to put on his
company face. But when alone,
playing a game of billiards or shoot
ing with his friends ne was not only
natural, but one of the most agree
able companions. When the empe-
ror Of Germany visited him they
rode out together, and knowing
that the emperor had difficulty in
mounting his horse, Victor Emau-
uel had some stairs made for him.
He prided himself, despite his size,
years aud weight, upon springing
lightly into the saddle. The empe-
ror came out to mount, and found
two pairs of stairs with two horses
beside them. "What!" said the
emperor, "do you mount in that
way?" " Always, SIRE" replied the
king, swinging himself awkwardly
off the stairs into the saddle, HC

kind are related Of the king, and
