ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July 27.-Ex-
Congressman Morey resumed the witness
chair. and gave it as his impression that
if the Packard government had been rec
ognized in the first place as the Kellogg
government had been, and had the presi-
dent said he intended to maintain the
Packard government, and given to it the
necessary moral support, there would have
been no troable 10 maintaining it.
Witness incidentally said he had one or
two interviews with the president at great
length, during which witness argued that
the withdrawal of the troops from New
Orleans and not maintaining the Packard
government would be the destruction of
the republican party in the south, The
president took position that the republican
party could no longer maintain that policy
which had lost New York to the repubIi-
cans and the party had become weaker 10
consequence, therefore the good of the re.
publican party demanded change. The
president treated the subject as of national
concern.
Witness said so far as he knew no re
turns had been thrown out by the return
ing board on inadequate and insufficient
proof. There was movement to make
| Nichols governor even to the extent of
violence. General Butler interposed, say
ing; and in this Nichols had the president

intrusted by his pious father to ST. Will
frid at Ripon. There he grew up as an =
other Samuel wise and grave beyond his
years. When he was twenty years old he
went to Ireland, to study under st Egg
bert /; and twelve years later he felt drawn
to convert the great pagan tribes whe
we're hanging as a cloud over the north of
Europe. He went to Rome for the blessing
of the Pope, and with eleven companions
reached Utrecht. The pagans would not
accept the religion of their enemies, the
Franks; and st. Willbrord could only
labor in the track of Pepin Heristal, con
verting the tribes whom Pepin subj gated.
At Pepin's urgent request be again went
to R>me, and was consecrated Arch bishop
of Utrecht. He was stately and come)y in
person, frank and joyous, wise in counsel,
pleasant in speech, in every work OF Goo
were converted, and the Saint built
churches and appointed priests all over
the land. God granted him the eigns, as
we'll as the success of an apostle; he
wrought many miracles and had the gifs
of prophecy. He labored INCREASINGLY as
bishop for more than fifty years, beloved
alike of God and of man, and died full Of
days and good works.
St. Willibrord was once thrown on en-
island called the Holy Isle, where it was
forbidden to kill any animal, or to speak
while drawing water from the eprng. He
baptized come young Danes whom he had
instructed during the voyage, and slew
what animals he required for food. The
pagan king in his Jury killed one of the
Saints companions, and threatened him
with death for having insulted his god.
The Saint replied calmly, "There is one
only God, VINO made heaven and earth,
who gives eternal life to those who worship
Him with true faith wherefore I bid thee
turn from thy false gods to Him. If thou
refuse thou shalt perish with the God thou
servest." The king qusiled and said, 81
see thou dost not heed my threats, and thy
words are daring as thy deeds" He would
not submit to the faith, but sent the Saint
back to Pepin with an escort OF honor.

ST pELAGIA, PENITENT

Pelagia, pagan actress of Antioch, was
so beautiful that whenever She went out,
all jewelled aud perfumed, as was her
wont, men ran from afar to catch sight OF
her. She chanced once to hear sermon
by St. Nonnus, and che sent him the same
day letter addressed "To tho holy disci-
pie of Jesus Christ, from q sinner and dis
ciple of the deviin Nonnus received her
in presence of other bishops, and prostra-
ting herself before them, she watered the
ground with her tears, refusing to rice tiii
they baptized her. She said to Nonnns,
'If thou nearest not my prayer, beg God
thou mayst be no Saint, but pagan and
an infidel, and have to answer for all the
sins shall commit" Seeing her earnest
nees, Nonnus baptized her, and gave her
the Sacrament of Confirmation and Holy
Communion. He then placed her IN the
house of holy matron, wheTe che endured
much from evil memories and diabollcal
visions; bat she dispelled them by the
sign of the Cross and by uuceasing prayer.
She gave over to the poor oil her vast
treasures, and on the eighth night she left
Antioch in disguise, and going to Jerusa-
lem, shut herself up in q cavern on Mount
Olivet under the name of Brother Pelagi us.
She died after four years of the most aus
tere penance, silence and prayer. None
knew her history save Bishop Nonnus; but
the solitaries, finding her to be woman,
praised God for her courage, aod buried
her with great honor.
st. Pelagia was not content with mas
cerating her body she was equally cour-
egeous in mortifying her mind and her
curiosity. To admit air and light she had
but a very email! opening in the door of
her cell, which she only left once a week
to draw water and gather few herbs.
She never was known to speak to the soil
taries whom she met and when she was
visited by james, deacon of Hellopol!s,
who said he had come from Bishop Non
nae, che merely replied, Lot him pray
for me !; he is truly Saint of God" And
