The greatest pieces Of tom-foolery in the
Catholic religion is for Priest to appear te-
fore an audience of English people, or Ger
man people, or French people, and deliver
a sermon in the Latin language, which no
one of his hearers understands. The nom
sense, however, is not confined to the church
of the Catholic faith, for men and women
Of the world attend nightly in great crowds
TO hear Sara Bernhardt deliver herself in
French, when they in fact do not under
stand the French language. Perhaps it is
because We have not been out enough in the
world. Perhaps it is because We are too
closely localized within the hills of Penn
sylvania to appreciate sach fine things as
being spoken TO and gesticulated at by q
person speaking a language unknown to
US. We would Immediately reach the
conclusion that we are not broad enough
in our tastes for such things, if t were not
for a number Of historical narratives that
cause us to hesitate in accepting such a
conclusion. We have a distinct recol-
lection of reading of an English Nobleman
who was companion of General Braddock
in his unfortunate campaign in 1855 The
Noblemsn would accompany two scouts to
the fort that then stood where Pittsburg
now stands. The Indians caught sight of
the party lurking about the fort, and sent a
party ont to gather them in. The scouts
lie was versatile man, and Immediately fit
himself into the new surroundings, which
30 highly pleased the Indians that they con-
cluded to convert him into an Indian. A
Delaware Chief concluded 10 adopt him into
his family as son. 1t was a great day for
the Delaware squaws, when they took the
noblenan 10 the river TO wash the white
blood out of him. When he was scrubbed
10 the satisfaction of bis new relations he
was taken TO large wigwam in the Indian
town, and there quite ceremony was gone
through with. Speeches were made by a
number of the great chiefs. The English
man noted the manner of gesticulation, the
tones of the dramatic whoop. He rather
enjoyed the ceremony; but what WIS hS
surprise when he was told BY n old Indian
who could talk i" little English" that his
new father and other chiefs would like him
TO deliver speech. He pleaded ignorance
of the Indian tongue. That would not do.
Once when boy he had delivered at a
school entertainment, Anthony's Grafton
over the dead body of Ceser. He arose
snd began with that, and - every once in a
while" he raised a whOop, Indian style, and
tiourished the knife and tomahawk as he
had seen the chiefs do. 1t was a grand
effort, worthy of his blood, and the Indians
afterwards would often have him talk to
them. After mcLtaI review of the MARIA
five of the experience of the Englishman
one is inclined 10 come TO no conclusion
but that of wonder, why IT is that people
like to be spoken TO in an unknown tongue.
Everybody seems to like 1t, even the Indian.

robbed the old lady Of some money and
other valuabIes. While in the Office of
Squire Butz and before being taken to
prison iu default Of bail, young Lemon
became very much agitated and in pit

the crime, saying he hoped the Al

ROOSTER PROPHECY.
Hour the Old Lady Knew That Garfield
Would be Elected

In GreensGurg, Westmoreland coun-
ty, Pa, there resides an old lady nam
ed Mary Paulding, wEo for the past
twenty years has on the morning OF the
election, in novel way put TO a test
who would be elected President OF the
United States, which test, she AYERS, IN
all that time has never failed her. This
is how she does 1t: On the evening be-
fore the day of election she selects two
roosrers and pames them for the two
leading candidates. puts them under a
tub-or for that part under a copper
kettle-in the back yard, and in the
morning, as soon as it lis fairly daylight,
she raisos the tub and lets them strut
forth, and the one that crows first, the
person after whom he is named is elect
ed President for sure On the evening
before the last election, according to
her wonted custom, she selected two
choice cockerels, and named them re-
spectively Garfield and Hancock, and
that there should be no deception
their names we're tied in bold letters
around their necks. They were put
underneath tub in the back yard for
the rest of the night. In the morning,
in the presence of some of her neighbors
the tub was raised and the cockerels
stepped forth in the light, and 10 and
behold Garfield, with head erect,
strutted forth, clapping big wings and
crowed most Justify for solid North
and several of the others thrown In.
while Hancock, with head and tail down,
skunk away and hid underneath some
bushes, although as was said Oy a look
er on, See, be has the biggest tail, yet
1t won't stand up" That lady was as
sure of Garfeld's election election then
as she is now that he is elected. She
says she never was deceived.

agrees
Professor Vennor, the Canadian
weather prophet, says there will be uni
versal snowfalls and very cold weather
this winter. On the other hand, Mr.
A. j. Defoe, the weatherwise man Of
Hackensack, New York, predicts much
rain and mild weather all winter. He
says the ice men are going to have q
bad year. There will be no long con-
tinued cold, and ice will be IS scarce
next season as It was last summer.
His forecast of the winter sent to the
New York Farmers Club on the lst
of October, was as follows: ga dry fall
mild in this section. Heavy northeast
storms and snow in the Western and
Southern Stotes. Heavy southeast
winds and rain ever the lake region.
Great snowf.lls in the Northwest. Not
so much snow in New Jersey and New
York as in North Carolina during the
winter. The winter here will be COM
parativeIy mild. In nearly all storms
there will be southwest winds, with
rain."
The prophecy of Prof. Vennor for
the mouth OF December Is very differ
ent:
''Thers will probably be some snow
from about the 4th of the month.
With the second quarter of the month
colder weather will probably set IN with
falls of snow. The hrmers will be able
to enjoy sleigh rides in the cold, exhil-
arating air butgood sleighing need not
be expected until after the middle Of

mild weather about the l3 and l4th.
After brief interval of mild weather,
during which more snow will fall, the
third quarter os the month will probab-
ly see clustering and cold weather.
cold snap with heavy snow storms and
consequent good slsghing. Very cold
weather may be expected during this
quarter. The last quarter of the month
will bring milder weather in fact the
heaviest snowfall will be toward the end
of the month, aRd snow blockades may
be looked for, the snowfalls extending
far southwark, possibly as far as Wash
iug;on, with very stormy weather
around New York and Boston"

The rise in grin, winch is now being
chronicled, is not only simultaneous

canals, it was announced, would be
closed on December % Instead of
that they are suddenly shut up month
earlier, with 7 7,000, 900 bushels between
Buffalo and Albany and no prospect Of
opening until spring. This body Of
grain cannot 60 forward to market with
out many delays. Meantime the bulk
of it Is already sold and the deficiency
must be supplied By drawing upon other
stores. This is sufficient to account for
the advance. The closing of the canals
will. however, throw a great pressure

WASHINGTON, d. C., Nov. "a, 1880.
The quiet of the Capital was rippled by
the arrival of General Garfield and Mrs. G ar
field on last Tuesday. The first person who
greeted the President-elect was Colonel
Robert Ingrrsoll. Bob, as everybody
knows, is not considered orthodox, and the
cordial greeting between the chief magis-
frste of the Republic and the Pagan led to
the remark that perhaps the new admins
tration would b. organized upon the basis
Of the old Roman Republic, which tolerated
all and every kind of religion, and if it had
not been for that principle in the govern
ment of Rene, Christianity would never
Jewish nation. The execution CT Christ was
intended to crush ont his system of re-
igion, but the liberality of the Roman
government on the question of religion
allowed the escaped apostles to preach
anywhere and everywhere within the limits
OF the Roman empire. BIT If any one sup
posed that the General has made a truce
with the Pagan phase of IngersoH it is a
mistake, for the Campbellites, for whom
Garfield has preached, propose to build
church here, so that the President may
worship among his own people on the Sab
bath day. People always GO to extremes,
and now some are saying that instead of
Paganism, instead of state or nation
with no recognized religion, We are TO have
state religion. They say Garfield will do
as Constantine did-unite church and state.
