Archbishop Purcell's Statement.

A Cincinnati telegram of March
Goth says: A letter to the public
from Archbishop Purcell was pub
lished this morning. After re-
citing the struggles of his early life, his
removal to this diocese and the necessi-
ty Of going i'll debt to provide for the
want of the diocese, he dwells on the
present financial troubles; he states
that it can safely be said that not more
than 100000 was money deposited,
and the rest is the result of compound
interest. AS proof he cites an instance
which occurred yesterday, where n
creditor called with claim of $1,100
In presenting it he admitted that $500
of it was interest and expressed his
willingness to accept $500, the
amount Of the original deposit.
The claims of hundreds are of the
same nature and the indebtedness Of
the diocese, in equity, does not amount
to more than million dollars to place
it at its highest figure. He says further
that for twenty years no general collec-
ton has been taken up for the support
Of the DIOCESAN Seminary, the entire
DulueH vi CuuodtlllS l%iiilS upVl tHC
Archbishop. -
He paid the salaries of the profess
ors, fed, clothed and educated semina-
rians, and he also paid the expenses
during the same period of eccleslasti-
cal students at.Mt. St. Mary's, Emmets-
burg, in France, and at Rome. In
twenty years, these expenses, which
in justice the whole diocese should have
borne, amounted to vast sum.
While in Europe, he bought library
of 10000 volumes, with philosophic APP
paratus, etc, which required large ex-
penditure, which, together with the sum
spent in building the Orphan Asylum,
Cath edral and other buildings, finally
swamped the Archbishop, who rehears-
ing the situation, declares that but for
the generous sympathy Of Catholics and
Protestants alike, he would have sunk
un Ter the weight of his troubles. He
then appeals to all Catholics and others,
who feel for others woes, to help him
out of his embarrassments,

Sheep In Colorado.

A Colorado correspondent Of tho Troy
Times gives some timely information on
u subject on which there il II good deal
OF interest in the trade just now. Tho
most reliable information obtained, he
says, gives tho number OF sheep in the
state as about 100000, valued nj
s., % per head, or $i,5oO000 in total
value. Last years clip Of wool was
about 5,o0N,0o0 pounds, estimated at
LA cents per pound, 1870 900, There
should loo added To this SOC, 900 lambs,
valued ut $3.50 per head, &6000O.
Daring 1873, $4,000 head were driven in
from California, and $4,000 from New
Mexico. The shipments OF wool the
coming season will be about 100000
pounds, which Mt last years price will
amount to $l,225000, TO which may bo
added the value of 100000 lambs Mt
$3.50 per head, $l,125,000, making
$2,35O0O0 income from sheep alone.
Owing To tho long distance, and tho
want of douhle.dockod cars, the rail.
road freight ON sheep to eastern mar
kots is SO high that il will not pay to
ship mutton to any great extont.

White or Black Tie !
New York Tlmes.

Just now there seems to be differ
ence of opinion here among men of So
ciety as to what constitutes full dress
Some contend that the white cravat, so
long in vogue, should still be worn,
while others hold that the black cravat
should now occupy its place. 1t may
be interesting to persons concerned
with this important matter to know that
by the latest advices Paris is equally d.
yided on this point. The black dress
coat reigns supreme there, now that the
president Of the French republic is a
civilian; but the color Of the cravat
causes mucn discussion. As a rule,
young men prefer white, old men
black; while in many of the most IA
shionable clubs in Paris the black tie
has been exclusively adopted. especial
" for dinner. New York can follow the
example if she likes. Ifyou want to be
thought young, adopt white; if YOU are
willing 70 he considered old, adept black I;
which is another way Of saying that
white will continue TO prevail.

The correspondent OF nm Indian news
paper gives the following account of
tho origin Of the osculatory process:
Some Trojans with their wives escaped
by sea from Troy when IL was taken and
sacked. The wives being horribly soa-
sick when they landed with thor hus-
bands, in order that the latter might by
hunting provide provisions for the re-
mainder OF their journey, to avoid again
going to sen, and nj the instigation OF
lady named Roma, burned tho ships.
Tho husbands on their return being
freely angry, to stay the torrent OF
abuse heaped upon them, their wives
pressed their lips TO theirs, and chung
about them. These lip.pressings were
tho first kisses, and the novelty was so
successfully employed that the hus-
bands left of scolding and fell to kiss
ing, until they were kissed by their
wives into good humor and complete
forgiveness
This account may be the true one, al
though II appears To have escaped the
notice OF tho learned Burton, who makes
no mention Of II in his "Lovo Molan-
choly.' Ben Johnson evidently APP
proved Of kissing, although he mny not
have known its origin, as stated above.
