Catholic Children to he Educated In
Catholic Schools. Nf

BOSTON, Nov. 25.-The announce
ment is made of the policy of the Ro-
man Catholic Church of New England
towards the public schools. The Arch
bishop, following the advice Of the Pope
to European bishop, has directed all
the priests in the Archdiocese OF New
England 10 at once establish parochlal
schools and threaten parents who refuse
to patronize them with the terrors Of
the Church. In localities where theln-
auence of public schools is thought to
be particularly injurious to Catholic
YOUTH, the priests are instructed to with
diaw the children at once, eve n II there
be no parocial schools in the vicinity.

A PssxxltsaQ Case.

Mayor Almond started the wheels Of
justice 4 few minutes before seven
O'Clock, last evening, but soon had them
temporarily clogged by puxzling case
Of. conflicting testimony. The case was
one wherein youth with the high sound
ing title Of Edward Everett Garrett, was
charged with breaking street lamp on
Chestnut street, near Broome. The
pr osecutipg witness was Hettie Spencer
. red-cheeked. bright-cyed, intelligent
little miss Of thirteen or fourteen years,
who said that few days ago two police
men came to her house to inquire in re-
lation 10 the broken lamp. and at IL
o'clock the same day Edward Everett
came to her on the street, near her home,
aud said be had broken the lamp, but
did not want the police 10 find 1t out and
take him before the Mayor.
Then came coward Everett's mother
and sister, who. modestly, but positively
told the Mayor that ON the day Hettie
claimed TO have received the boys col-
fession be had left the house about fif-
teen or ten minutes OF twelve o'clock for
the purpose oftaking dinner to his father
who wO, ks for the Harlan u Hollings-
worth Company, and that he returned
home without any unseeminely delay.
They also said that Edward Everett
would have been obliged to go two
squares out of his way to meet aettie
SpeI Ger near hef home, and as he had
returned SO promptly from his eriand,
they were sure he had not loitered on
the way.
The Mayor nervously grasped his pen
and scrat ched his head, while his brow
corrugated into deep, reflective wrinkles
over this puzzling problem. coward
Everett's folks were very respectable
people, and evidently sincere in theii
testimony, while Hettie Spencer's state
ment was convinclngly earnest. The
Mayor recalled Hettie and questioned
her closely, but she never faltered. She
was positive that Edward Everett wa,
the boy who had confessed to her that
he had broken the lamp; be was playing
marbles with a gang Of boys, at the
time, and left the boys to come to her
with the interesting information. She
was certain she had made no mistake.
Here 10 q case that the wisdom Of Sol
omon could not have decided in q man
ner sal isfactory to all concerned. How.
ever, the Mayor, after deep reflection
adjudged Edward Everett guilty, but In
view Of the doubt thrown upon the case
he let him off with light sentence-$l
and costs-iustead of imposing the full
penalty, which Includes fine as high al
$40, and the payment for all damage
| done to the lamp.

A Story of Two Presidents.


FRENCH ULTRAAONTANB GOSSIP ABOUT THE
RELIGIOUS IGNORANCE OF THEIRS AND

This apocryphsl stcry is told in Paris ::

brat-d at Versailles in June. 1871, NJ.
Theirs and VI. Grevy attended the ceremony

OF the National Assembly. They were met

venerable bishop of Versailles, who pre-
sented NJ. Thiers the brush stepped in

wet his fingers thereat, and cross him.
self in tho customary manner. The Presi-
dent, unfamiliar with the ussges of holy
church, took the brush out OF the bishops
hand, and began diligently to besprinkle his
grandeur and the attendant clergy, after
having fulfilled which novel function he
handed the sacred implement to his next
neighbor, NJ. Grevy. NJ. Grevy, however,
had noticed that feeting smile had relax
cd the grave features of the aged prelate
while the President was going through his
energetic performance with the goupiilon.
from which symptom he inferred that his
chief had been unconsciously guilty of
some strange incongruity. Accordingly,
not knowing what to do with the
brush, he quietly slipped it, still moist with
holy water, into the tail pocket OF his coat,
and proceeded TO his seat in the choir, " here
he and the President listened attentively to
the service from the places allotted to them.
After the ceremony was over and the church
had been cleared Of its visitors, search was
made for the brush, but it vain. Next day 4.
however, it was discovered under NJ. Grevy's s
seat in the choir, where he had furtively
concealed it during the Te Deum. The story
Is good one, of the kind, that Frenchmen
keenly appreciate aud If NJ. Grevy has
read it he has doubtless laughed over 1t
heartily enough.

The Pension Bill.

II seems that the act Of January 25, was
considerably modified by the bill as passed
making appropriations for the payment of
arrearages of pensions. If the pension was
eurtailed under the old limitation, the ar
rears are not now necessarily allowed
from the date Of discharge, but from the date
of development Of the pensionable disability.
Instead Of being fixed for the whole back
period at the rate at which the pension wa
originally allowed, the rate is now to be
graduated according to the degree of the
pensionablc disability from time to time.
If pensiOnable disability occurred in service.
the arrears date from the soldiers dis
charge; if pensionable disability arose after
discharge from causes arising from service,
then the arrears date from the appearance or
development of the pen>ionable disability.
Pensions alloWel by SPECIAL acts and dating
from the approval Of said acts, are not affect
ed by the new law. The increase OF two
dollars a month to widows on account OF
children, and to children themselves, will
not be affected by this law. Such increase
as heretofore will not begin prior to July
25, 1866. The arrears are payable from
any money in the Treasury, not otherwise
appropriated. How much of this there will
be, remains to be seen.
