NVIOL.lBLE.

A friends secret is ever his property,
even when confided to another. The
confidant should lock it up, even from
his own thoughts. He should not be
content with refraining from betraying
it to others, he should also refrain from
betraying it to himself. II man con-
signs casket containing treasure to the
care of another, he will justly feel that
his confidence has been to a degree vio-
lated if he comes to know that the latter
has been in the habit of unlocking the
casket and poring over its contents day
after day as if it were his own, and that,
too, in an exposed position. So with
the secret. Though confided to friend,
it still belongs to him by whom it was
contided, who has his own reasons for
performing this act of friendship; and
to have it continually before the mind
is not only making, in one sense, anoth-
cr's property ones own, but it is ex-
posed to the danger of escaping at any
ung,larded moment in one form or an
other, sufficiently at least to give grounds
to surmises which may closely bear upon
the truth.

"WHEN rs HE GOING TO TALK HO0.'
It was while Garfield was making the
speech in which he presented the name
of John Sherman, in which he led up to
his nominee in graceful words, reserving
the mention of his name to the very
last, that the most distinguished dele
gate from Massachusetts beckoned to q
gentleman from Michigan who was sit
ting near him and said: "This reminds
me of the celebrated case for the re-
covery Of hogs" ~ am not familiar
with It," said the gentleman from Mich
igan. "Why, responded the gentleman
from Worcester, "a man brought suit
to recover his hogs. His counsel, in adj
dressing the jury, spent two hours In
going over all tho law points involved,
and at last his client, becoming impa-
tient, interrupted the proceedings by
asking the Judge if he might ask his
counsel a question. The Judge ruled
that such a procedure was hardly allow
able in open court, and the client ac-
auiesced with the remark, i only
wanted to ask him when he was going
to talk about my hogs"

A SMART DARKY.

In the year 1851, when the whole
world WAS thinking and talking of the
Worlds Fair in Hyde Park, the Colonel
Of the Second West India regiment was
one day startled on parade by the ap
proach Of his bugler to make the modest
request of furlough of sufficient length
to enable him to go over to London to
zee the exhibition. Cuffey was sternly
ordered back to the ranks, with the al
tentative of the guard-room, and he re-
tired, muttering, however, that, fur
lough or no furlough, his journey to
London was o fixed fact.
The next morning he was missing at
roll-call, the fact being that he had en-
gagged himself as stoker in one Of the
mail steamers, and was at that moment
sailing pleasantly ont of the harbor
He came to London, saw the exhibition,
had his spree ont, and, when he was
tired or had spent all his money, be pre-
sented himself at the Horse Guards and
gave himself up as a deserter. 1t was
some time before he could gain belief
for his singular tale. and had to play
selection Of the Colonel's numerous bu-
gle calls before he could prevail on the
authorities to order him into custody.
At last he was duly taken prisoner and
shipped for the West Indies. along
with detachment going out.
When the ship had been some days
out at sea, the officer in command, a
young Lieutenant, found great difficulty
in collecting the men at meal-time, hav.
ing no bugler with his detachment.
"On this hint" Cuffey "spake," pO-
litely Offering to relieve the officer of a
world Of trouble by playing daily the
necessary calls. His offer was accepted,
and the service duly performed during
the remainder of the voyage. On the
arrival Of the ship, Cuffey was delivered
to his angry Colonel, who Immediately
ordered him to be taken into custody,
preparatory to regimental court-martial.
Just, however, as the guard was TAX
ing him off, he called a parley, and po-
litely informed the Colonel that he could
not be tried as deserter, inasmuch as,
having done duty since the commission
of the act, he was now as free as before
he left the regiment. There was no
gainsaying this well-known point Of
military law, and the Colonel was COM
pelled to content himself with simply
ordering Cuffey back to his duty. amid
the broadest permissible grins on the
coumtenances of his ebony comrades

TOM OCHILTREE, OF TEXAS.

Persons travelling in the South after
the close of the Rebellion could see on
the telegraph posts on every route lead
ing into New Orleans and in all public
thoroughfares large signs-"Buy your

One afternoon a stranger entered
the shirt store, and addressed Mr..

"Have you purchased shifts Of us7"
"No, SIR"
"Oh, you wish to purchaser
"No, sir. This morning l put on tho

asking his size and his room at the ho-
tel, Mr.. Moody said
every well, Mr.. Ochiltree, you will

once dispatched dozen Of his best

One morning about ten years ago the
Partisan public were made aware Of the
fact that the confidential clerk of Mon
sieur Laur1n. q well-known banker, had
absconded with the sum of nearly ,O0O
600 francs. Large payments were due
that day by the banker, to meet which
he had been relying upon this sum. A
run upon the bank followed, and that
evening his name was among the list of
bankrupts. Detectives had, of course,
instantly been put upon the track Of the
absconding clerk, and, just as he WAS
stepping on the boat at Calais to cross
the channel, he was arrested and con-
veyed back to Paris.
When arrested, he seemed Mortified
at the charge against him, and earnestly
protested his innocence. This was but
stural under the circumstances, and
did not have the least impression upon
be vrficers but one thing that did puz-
zle them was the fact that no trace Of
the money he had stolen could be found.
At his trial the evidence against him was
too strong to admit of any doubt of his
guilt. The banker swore that on the
previous day he had given the clerk
several orders upon the treasury,
amounting in all to between 800, 900
and 1000. 900 francs, with instructions,
after getting them cashed, to return to
the bank, and deposit the money in the
vault, of which he alone, beside the
banker himself, knew the combination.
Evidence was forthcoming from the
Treasury Department that he had re
ceived the money, but the evidence Of
the other employees was definite that he
had not returned to the bank during
business hours, while the janitOr was
confident he had not done 80 afterward.
This, taken altogether, and added to
the fact of his sudden fight, seemed
conclusive to the Judges that he was
guilty. The prisoners defense took
the form of an accusation against his
employer. He acknowledged having
received the orders, and also getting
them cashed, but denied that he had
been told to deposit the amount in the
bank vault. Instead he averred the
banker had told him to retain the
money in his possession until evening,
whom he was to admit himself by key
the banker gave him to his house. and
deliver the money into his own handA
This the prisoner declared he had done
when the banker, unlocking a drawer
in the desk at which he sat, took out
large envelope, and told the clerk t
address it to well-known banking firm
IN Leadenhall street, London.

THE ANNUAL. MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES
Of the Central Church was held few days
ago. The ilourishng condition Of Prof.
Swings society was illustratyi BY the inter-
estinx statistics which were laid before the
officers by 3fr. Charles 4. Spring. Jr-, the
Treasurer Ut the church. The effect of the
removal into the comfortable, convenient,
and well-yentilatcd Central Mnslc-Hall audi
torium was made apparent By the increased
attendance OF the permanent or seat-holding
members of the congregation; for, while 1t
has always been true that the '' floating neIn-
tlers" who crowded McVicker's Theatre
during the period Ut the church's occupancy
Of the theatre was SO great that numbers
we're turned away, still the permanent
congregation occupying seats was never SO
large as during the past year. The member
ship Of the church holding permanent sit
tings now numbers 1.04, exclusive OF those
occupying boxes, which provide for 1@5 addt-
tionai seats. It will thus be seen that OF

IRISH CONVENT LIFE.

AN INTERVIEW WITH TIT. Nun OF kENMARE.
Ju,n,x It<.it41th tn The Ne,v fors Tribune
DUBLIN, Aug 30-rhe most famous Irish
lady Of our day, and the most famous Irish
nun since The time of St. Bridget, is Sister
Mary Frances Clare, in the Convent OF kell-
mare, in the County Kerry. In religion she
is called Sister Frances; in literature she
still retains the family name Of Cusack; but
In the hearts and the homes of the Irish race,
In every cline aud country, she Is known
only and i1on0red AMI beloved as 1.-The Nun
Of Kenn,are," No woman in Irish history
was eyer SO widely known during her own
lifetime; and no Irish nun, during her own
lifetime, ever before welded an influence SO
beneticent and widespread. Her books, both
devotional and historical, have larger c1rct-
lati.n than the books of any other Catholic
author now living. The Nun has writtet'tifty
or sixty books. devotional, biographical, and
historical; and they enjoy high reputation
among scholars as we'll as the people Cath"
olic critics and students, from the Pope down,
have spoken III terms of great admiration Of
these books, and eminent Protestant writers
.1aye been equally l;,udatory. Her chief
historical books are History of Ireland, Il
History of Cork, History Of kerry,-larse
octayo volumes. And her principal bioarapll-
icai books are lives Of O'Copnell, Father
Matthew. St. Patrick, St. Bridget, and ST.
COLUMBIA, also. all elaborate study.
Her devotional books are very numerous and
form an exclusively or rather distinctiyely
Catholic library. More than half a million
of copies Of these books have been sold. She
has edited the only complete edition OF
OConnell's speeches. She has contributed
hundreds of essays to periodical literature,
and never week passes in which letters
from her pen do not appear in newspapers OF
England. the United States, or Australia.
The Nun of kennare comes from an old
Protestant family that for some 500 or 600
years has produced people of note in every
generation. As long ago as Queen Eliza
betl's time there was q Lord Chancellor
Cusack. It was an Ang0-frish family, and
ma4y of It's members held high adulinistrat-
i've positions under the Government Ut . the
Pale" Miss Cusack was educated as Prot
estant-in the Church of England.-and for
five years Of her youth she was a member Of
one OF the PROTESTANT sisterhoods. Shortly
afterwards she joined the Catholic Church,
and becnine aslun OF the order Of Poor Clares.
This order was established in Italy in 1919,
and was introduced into Ireland in lG25. 1t
