A Fifteen Minutes C,uriship.

About two Years since Sister Miry
Faux, a young lady of most respect
! Die pireutage and devput Catholic
came to this city from Frankfort, aud
Was admitted to the convent at the COZ
ner of Chestnut and Shelby streets,
aud was after this sub-teacher IN the
school at the corner OF Webster ami
Washington streets. Some time after
this there came "a req nest for the Ser
vices Of sub-teacher III the convent IN
Jacksonville, and Miss Funk, still
under the direction of the prioress, ac-
cepted the situation, and performed her
work we'll and faithfully.
During all the time that she was con-
nected with the convent here as a lay
sister, those associated with her now
speak OF her as true woman in the
| strictest sense of the word. She never
complained, went straight forward in
the performance of the duties that were
assigned to her, and at times seemed
perfectly satisfied with her life, and,
like the other members of the noble
sisterhood, she was always ready to
sacrifice her own happiness and COM
fort, and, if necessary, her life, in Or
der to alleviate the sutferings of those
who were in distress.
After some time, and for what rea.
son no one knows, Miss Funk became
| dissatisfied with her life, and concluded
t. marry. Ths more she studied about
the charms of douole blessedness ire
more she was convinced that she wanted
to marry. As no one knows the secrets
| of the human heart, it is only just to
say that no one has right to crlticise
her acts. 1t is said that she stated to
a friend that if she could fluid man
who suited her tastes sue would marry
him IN fifteen minutes. The friend
happened to know " tifteen-minute
man" and man who bears a splendid
reputation, and the two people who
wanted to marry were introduced, and
in Just fifteen minutes contract to
cling together "for better or worse I"
Was entered into, and the young sister,
with affecting solemnity, babe an af-
fectiOnate adieu to the walls of the
convent, hung her veil on the feuce,
and launched out on the stage plank
that leads to the good ship matrimony,
aud she is now gliding down the river
of life by the joyous light OF the honey
moon.
The wedding occurred about fifteen
days since. The gentleman she mar
ried is named Hillerbrand, and he has
for some time been employed at AFTER
burnes place. on the Bfownsbore road.
This is u remarkable place, as q sister
who once enters convent seldom
leaves it, but prefers to leave the world
with its joys, its sorrows, and its myr-
lad of SINS behind her. MISS Funk
had not entered the final order of Sis
terhood, and if she saw proper to change
the life that she had started out to lead
with the best af intentions, it certainly
is credit to her to come out openly
and act her part as she has, aud if she
is happy and contented, the world will
find 10 fault with her conduct.

CoUGHs.. - "BRowN's BRONCHIAL.
TRocHEs " are used with advantage to-
alleviate coughs, sore threat, hoarseness-
and bronchial affections. For thirty
years these Troches have been in use,
with annually increasing favor. They
are not new and untried, bus, having
been tested by wide and constant use
for nearly an entire generation, they
have attained well-lnsrited rank among
the few staple remedies OF the age.
The THRoAm.-"B Browns Bronchial
Troches" act directly on the organs of
the voice.. They have an extraordinary
effect in all disorders of the throat and
larynx, restoring a healthy tone when
relaxed, either from cold or over-exer-
tion Of the voice, and produce clear
and distinct enunciation. Speakers and
singers find the Troches useful.

Garfield opposed the passage OF the
Electoral Commission bill, because it
authorized the Commission TO exam
inc the election returns, and afterwards,
as a member of the Commission, voted
against counting the votes of Louisiana
and Florida to ascertain who carried
those States. Tilden had lS4 undis-
puted electoral votes, and only required
one to elect him. Though entitled to
the votes of Florida and Louisiana, he
wss deprived of them by fraud, and the
Electoral Commission would not in
euire into the fraud, This matter
ought to strike deep into the hearts OF
all who believe in respecting the will OF
the majority.
Arthur was turned ont of the New
York custom house, that the public
interests might not suffer by bribery
and corruption. Sherman said there
was plenty OF evidence of his dishon-
esty, and now they wanted him elected
to the second office in the gift of the
people.
Thousands of honest Republicans
were disgusted with the party leaders,
and declared
FOR HANCOCK,
Who, in the darker days of the country,
when it was feared that stars would be
torn from our flag, at the battle OF Get
tysburg, the turning point in the re-
bellion, immortalized himself. On the
third day of the battle, after Reynolds
was killed and the Union army routed
and in disorder, General Hancock rode
down the front and rallied his men,
who again, inspired by his presence and
confidence, attacked the enemy, and he
was carried off the field wounded and
bleeding while the air resounded with
shouts Of Gettysburg is ours!' Han
cock, who shed his blood for his coun-
try, when peace was restored, said that
American principles should prevail, and
would not, while people were peace
able, suspend the writ of habeas corr
pus. Is he not worthy the suffrage of
every citizen who desired that section
aism should cease and peace prevail
throughout the country?
General Clunie is an able, argument
ative and convincing speaker, and he
was frequently interrupted with ap-
plause. He regretted that political dis
cussions were not held jointly by the
speakers Of both parties, but the
Republicans declined to make arrange
ments for that purpose. At the close
of his speech, three cheers were given
for Hancock and English, and the meet
ing adjourned.

A Fire Last Evening.

A fire broke ont in Dow's fruit store,
below the Postoffice, last evening. 1t
was caused by spark from defective
stove-pipe catching in the ceiling. 1t
was promptly suppressed, but not be-

it looked as if the alarm had been given
by some hoodlums to disturb the meet

No preparations has ever performed
such marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide reputation as AwRE's CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. It's long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all climates
has made it universally known as a safe
and reliable agent to employ. Against
ordinary colds, which are the forerun-
ners, of more serioas disorders, it acts
spesdily and surely, always relieving
suffering, and often saving life. The
protection it affords, by its timely use
in the throat and lung disorders of
children, makes-i it an invaluable reme-
dy to be kept always on hand in every
home- No person can afford to be-
withou5 it, and those who have once
used it never will. From their knowl-
edge Of it's composition and effects,
physicians use the CHERRY PEcToRAL
extensively in their practice, and cler--
gymeH recommend it, 1t is absolutely
certain in it's remedial effects, and Will
always cure where cures are possible.

cried many mournful things have happened

The summer Of life-its long, bright days
with its yellow harvest, have come and gone,
but we are reminded from the surrounding
scene, that rs the leaves fade in nature, so
III life they spread joyous banners over val
ley and hill. All changes in nature are
striking. When the storm has spent its mad
ness and fury, the sunshine lights UP the
sky--and with the disappearance of the
of the raiAbow-when the day is lost behind
the horizon, lleecy clouds drape her couch
with gorgeous slores-when night lets fall
her curtain, "she pins it with star" So
comes that splendid calm which steals upon
us with the first dim outlines OF the autumn
of life, that season whose golden radiance
and mellow hours whispers softly and gently
of coming decay and bids us prepare for a
better and purer world, where We shall
flourish in immortal youth unhurt midst
the war of clements, the wreck Of matter
and the crash of world.

Is Mars Inhabited /!

There is no other planet Of the solar sys-
tenn, says Science Tor AH, which offers so
close an analogy to the earth as Mars. The
telescope reveals to us the figures of broad
tracts Of land and expanses Of sea upon his
surface. The durations OF his day and night
almost coincide with our own His exterior
experiences the alternating changes of the
seasons. His nights are illumined by two
satellites, which present all the phenomena
Of our own moon, and more frequently,
owing to their greater velocity. An atmos-
phere probably surrounds this planet; in fact
the existence Of air is indispensable to other
features. Hence the inference that Mars is
habtable globe appears very obvious and
fair conclusion, and il would be inconsistent
to imagine that this planet, provided appar-
emily with all the requisite natural facilities
to render life necessary and desirable iea.
ture of his surface, is sphere of desoation "A
mass otinert matter, which, though conform
ing to the laws of gravitation, is otherwise
serving no useful end, us the abode and sus-
tenance Of animate creatures. lis far more
in accordance with analogy and rational
speculation to conclude that Mars is the
centre of life and activity, and that his sur
face Is teemlng with living beings
