The Italian Clergy.

The italian Bishops are now for the
most part mere creatures Of the Jesuits.
They are utterly destitute of personal
initiative, and are seldom gifted with
either talent or learning. The inferior
clergy are at once poor and ignorant
Widely different is the Roman Catholic
hierarchy and clergy, taken as body,
in England Or France or Germany
There we see prelates Of ability, energy
and erudition, lahoring with untlring
zeal for the domination of their church
In what Italian province shall we find
the type of the restless and intriguing
priest such as he is painted by Emile
lola in his Conquete de Plassons, type
only too familiar in the provincial so
ciety both of France and England !
The incumbent of n parish in large
Italian town--when his Pensioners
present a mixture of Clericals, Liberals
and old noble families-plays the part
of a dexterous diplomast on all political
questions. When he can only count on
an element of fanaticism, he plays the
part of fanatic. He is liberal in
the Venetian, Lombard, Genoese and
Piedmontese provinces, those in which
the Pope recognizes as legitimate the
sovereignty of Humbert ]. In the
country districts he commonly reflects
in the views of the wealthiest Of the
neighboring landowners. If his Squire
is an out and out Clerical, he too is an
out-and-out clerical. If his Squire is
a decided Liberal, above all if he is one
who often asks his parish priest to din
ner the parish priest has extremely lib
eral views, and beneath the generous in
fiuence of his hosts Chianti or Barolo,
will keep the table in roar by telling
good stories as to the way in which the
more skeptical aud satirical of his par
ishoners are in the habit of treating the
dogmas of Holy Mother Church. 1t is
not uncommon to find the parish priest
shy in speaking of politics at all, but it
is very uncommon to find him preach
ing openly from his pulpit against the
government. The parish priests, with
few exceptions, are extremely ignorant,
and this general state of Ignorance in
the working clergy is a cause Of con-
slant and unfeigned anxiety to the pres
ent Pontiff. Little progress has been
made in the intellectual and moral con-
dition of the Italian parish priests since
the day when, 81 years ago, Plus IN,
shortly after his accession, said to Mas.
simo d'Azeglio: "You may find here and
there an honest anu Intelligent parish
priest, but taking them as body, they
are mere dirt" (Fango) 1t is mel
ancholy fact. which must suggest most
painful reflections to all who are really
interested in the moral and religious
welfare of Italy, that the parish priest
generally stands in the scale of informa-
ton and character below the mounted
Gardiner or ordinary tax-collector OF
his district; and 10 surprise need be
felt if this state of matters so deeply
engrossed the thoughts of Leo KILL

Paper Napkins.

Paper napkins are in increasing de-
mand. A Boston firm has sold some
100000 of them since they were intro
duced, about year ago. The place of
manufacture of paper napkins is not
divulged. They are said to be all i'm
ported from Japan, but suspicion pre-
walls that some of them are produced
by ingenious Yankee paper-makers, who
are well content to monopolize their
manufacture for the present. The nap
kins are wholesaled at from Sc to $40
per 900, and are retailed at 81 to $3.50
a 100. A party of 200 or 800 can be
supplied with them at less expense than
would be requisite to wash and iron a
similar number of napkins. BY their
use, also, the host or hostess is relieved
of all fear of having the table-linen
stolen; and, if an absent-minded guest
does happen to put his napkin in his
pocket after he has finished eating, he
need not suffer any more remorse than
if he had pocketed an apple-core or a
nutshell.

Roaring in the Ear.

In the current number of the Ned
zeal Record DIR. Hammond says that
when you poke the end of your finger
in your ear, the roaring noise you hear
is the sound of the circulation in your
finger, which is fact, as any one can
demonstrate for himself by first putting
his fingers in his ears and then stopping
them up with any other substance. Try
it, and think what wonder of ma
chine your body is, that even the points
of your fingers are such busy workshops
that they roar like a small Niagara.
The roaring is nothing more than the
noise of the circulation of the blood.
1t is the voice of all the vital processes
together-the tearing down and build
ing up-processes that are always going
forward in every living body, from ~
ception to death.

A Word to DOubters.

There is a good old English maxim that
teaches us to believe every man honest until
we know him to be villain" American GUS
tom seems to have reversed this law and APP
pears to make every man villain until he has
proved himself an honest man. As with peo-
ple so with things. Every article placed in
our markets can lay claim tc popular favor
upon intrinsic merit and value alone Con
tinued popularity, therefore, is proof positive
of intrinsic excellence. DR.. Pierce's Family
Remedies are far more popular to-day than
ever before. The people have tested them and
know them to be genuine remedies for the dis
eases they are recommended to cure. The
Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pei
lets are the best Alternative tonic, and cathartc
remedies that can be used in chronic diseases
of the stomach and liver. The worldwide
popularity OF the Favorite Prescription, as a
never failing remedy for Female Diseases,
would have alone secured to its discoverer the
fame he has 30 richly won. DIR. Sages Catarrh

yesterday evening, "and I don't sec
how / am ever to get through with

"Why, yes" replied Grandfather

Well, after the doggoned wagon is found

A Bad House for Burglars.

"Mr. Beecher," said the reporter, "you
have read the account of the killing of
a burglar by Capt. Richards, of the Sew
enth regiment. What do you think Of
it?"
Entirely justifable!" answered Mr..
Beecher, with emphasis.
Suppose you found burglar in
your house at night, what would you
do?"
"Shoot him quick as ightning!" ex-
claimed the clergyman, almost tiercely.
"Any man who, from motives of perso-
nal safety, allows burglar to walk
through his house with impunity not
only acts in cowardly manner, but
violates one of the most sacred duties
he owes to the community. Every
mans house is his castle, not only to
live in, but to defend. 1 regard him
who fails to defend it in the same light
as would soldier who, being intrust-
ed with the defense of a fort, allows the
enemy unresisted to enter and take pos
session of it. To permit burglar to
ransack my house is an injustice to the
community, because it holds out a
temptation to shiftless young men to
commit burglaries. Experienced cracks
men, of course, will run risks where
there is big prize to be won, but or
binary robberies are committed by less
fearless men, who would not attempt
them if they knew they would incur the
danger of being killed in the act Now
what could burglar get by coming in
to my house? The things he could
gather up and carry off are such as he
could not sell for more than $40, and do
you think he would risk his life for
that? No, indeed! But, he argues
'Beecher is clergyman; he would
rather lose twenty watches than take q
mans life' Not bit of it. wouldn't
let him take even the pointer of q
watch. And not from mere property
consideration either, but because it is
nv duty to defend the sanctity of my
household. My house, where my wife
and children live, shall not be entered
violently by any man except at his
peril. And so / have tau yht my wife
and all my children to shoot, and any
burglar who enters my house may ex'
pect to be killed"
The reporter then called Mr.. Beech
er's attention to the fact that religious
paper published in this city recently
offered as prizes for increasing its sub
scription lists three sizes of revolvers
with prospectus remark that a revol
yer in the house at midnight is some
times more useful than book.
Il think it very good idea and quit,

THE BURIAL OF THE POET.

In the old churchyard of his native town.
And in the ancestral tomb beside the wall,
We laid him in the sleep that comes to all,
And left him 10 his rest and his renown.
The snow was falling, as IL heaven dropped down
White flowers of Paradise to strew his pail;
The dead around him seemed TO wake, and call
His name. as worthy of so white a crown.
And now the moon Is shining on the scene
And the broad sheet of snow IL written DER

As once the winding sheet of Saladin
With chapters of the Koran: but, all moro
Mysterious and triumphant signs are these.

HiIIing up Potatoes.

q y u
When cnltiyating potatoes the uni
versal practice has been and is, to
draw mound ofearthup around the
growing plant, which, to say the
least, is an expensive operation and
quite unnecessary It Is one Of the
ways Of doing business practiced by
our forefathers and should be aban-
doned in a large degree az least.
Theonly advantage Of killing pota-
toes is that they dig easier; butas we
now have quite successful digging
machines that excuse for killing is
obyiated. Land for potatoes should
be naturally dry Or well underdrain.
ed. When well prepared and mel
low, plant the seed FIVE or six inches
deep or below the level surface Of the
ground, which is easiest done BY
ploughing a furrow that depth and
-
dropping in the seed at the cross
checks. If the soil be in proper con-
dition and you have a plough that
win work without clogging, they
maylbe expeditiously covered with
the plough by turning the furrow
back in position As soon as the
new plants appear, go between the
rows with a cultivator and cultivate
frequently and deep. Keep the soil
mellow and the few last times cult.
vating set your cultivator teeth to
throw toward the hill, which, prop.
erly done, will leave about each Hill
mound Of earth about two inches
high and from eight to ten inches
across the top. This will catch the
rain and retain moisture in the hills
many days longer than by the old
process of pyramids or even killing
up by hand. Generally potatoes sui.
fer very much from drouth, and this
aator non-hilling process prevents
itin a remarkable degree. Should
the potatoes grow Of such size SO near
the surface as to slightly expose
them to the suns rays, draw a few
hoesful of dirt over them at the hill
thus exposed. Thisis quickly done,
