enatical queries were puzzles and not
problems. They feel, naturally, very
sore and discouraged, and it is
the general opinion among Roman
Catholics that their rejection
was premeditated. The ex-
aminers assert that the interrogatories
were merely such as are usually put
to teachers, and that their religious
distinction was not considered: One of
them it is alleged, said that the Broth
ers were "a set of ignoramuses, who
were not fit to teach. The school was
reopened on Oct. 4, with two hum
dred and fifty pupils, under the same
teachers, but as the latter cannot be
recognized under the school board, hav-
ing been refused certificates, they are
not entitled to pay from the school
fund, and they mast therefore, look to
the Catholic clergy for their renumera-
ton. The affair has caused a great
deal Of bad blood, and it will require
only a slight effort to fan the smolder-
ing embers Of discomfort into fierce
flame. While some iberal-minded
Catholics regret that their clergy put
them IL this unpleasant predicament,
it is generally considered a fresh exhibit
ton OF 'know-nothingisn1" among all
classes Of Roman Catholics.
Another more recent occurrence has
served to make this feeling still more
bitter. A widow named Burns some
years ago placed her children in the
Charleston Orphan-house. Having ar
rived at an age when religious impress
ions last longest, the mother fearing
that her offspring might be won over to
Professionalism and thereby forfeit their
claims on the kingdom of heaven, re-
quested their return. This, of course.
was refused. Two or three days ago
she asked permission to take them out
for walk, and as neither she or the
children returned in the evening the
matter was reported 10 the COM
missioners. She positively refused, on
the following day, to carry her children
back or to tell where they were, and
the commissioners resorted to the
courts. A writ of habeas corpus was
issued, upon which, after long search
the children were recovered and taken
before Judge Minott, of the superior
court, who returned them to the Or
phan-house. The decision caused much
excitement, ana more especially be-
cause the president of the Hibernian
society acted as the legal representa-
tive of the commissioners. It's little to
do he had" said an exasperated son of
Erin, after the trial, to appear as the

THE BEDOUIN-s lEEIsUKE.
FROM WIDE AWAKE.

[rRom WIDE AwAxs.]
A Bedoun of true honor. good NebAr
Possessed horse whose fame was spread afar;
His feet were like the north wind swept along.
In his curved neck and in his flashing eye
You saw the harbingers of victory.
So, many came to Nebar day by day,
And longed to take his noble horse away;
Large sums they offered. and with grace be-
sought,
But all in vain, the horse could not be bought.
With these came Daher of another tribe,
Yet purposeless; no money, Skill nor breath,
Could part the owner from his horse till death.
Then Dahcr who vas subtle, mean and sly,
Concluded, next some stratagem to try:
So clothed in rags. and masked in form and
face,
He as a beggar walked with lilnping pace,
And meeting Nebar with the horse one day
lie fell and PROSTATE on the desert lay.
The rise succeeded; for when Nebar found
A helpless man in sorrow on the ground,
lie took him up and on the noble stecd
Gave him place. but what Il thanklcss deed,
For Daher shouted laughed. and giving rein!
Said, "You will never your horse again.
':Take him said Nebar.' but for Mercy's
sake,
Tell no man in what way you choose to take,
Lest others, seeing what has happened to me,
Omit to do some needed charity.
Pierced by these words, Che robberss keen re-
morse
Thwarted his plan and he returned the horse:
Shame faced and sorrowfu; then skunk away
As if he feared the very light Of day:

THE GOLDEN HAIRPIN.

George adolphus Clarendon was Il
young man of pleasing presence, whose
age was not far from 20 years. His
father had long and successfully con-
Quoted a most exemplary meat-market
at the corner of Market and St. Clair
street, in the thriving village Of West
ford, in Central New York, and had
amassed a competence by fair and hon
orablc means. But the son held the
meat business in adherence, and stead
lastly refused to entertain the though t
of following it for livelihood. He con-
ceived himself to be formed Of q
quality of clay quite above the aver
age, and was often heard muttering in
his sleep about the "higher walks Of
life" Old Mr.. Clarendon was stern
father, and he determined that, if
George Adolphus would not sell meat,
he should be compelled to engage in
the distribution of tracks, with the
heels toward the paternal mansion.
George Adolphus accepted the peri
patetic alternative with cheerful
alacrity land went Oh an aimless tramp.
He said he was going in search Of his
proper level.

about finding his level that night rs
the evening was rapidly wearing away,
and another question was beginning to
trouble him, namely: How was he 60
ing to reach the higher walk of life
without more money? How was he to
be a heightened gentleman and live in
a lofticr atmosphere than that which
pervaded the meat shops, with SO small
a sum as IS cents in his pocket. AS he
walked gloomily along the thorough
fare, busy with these troublesome re-
Elections, he heard loud tones issuing
from mansion which he was just pas
sing. A moment later the front door
opened and slight female figure hur-
ried silently on into the street, and pas
sing by him with a quick determined
tread, was soon out of sight.

When Maud recovered from the
shock which her fathers angry words
had given her, she Immediately deter
mined upon course Of action. She
resolved that she would be turned out
of doors before she would consent to 90
to the opera with an antediluvian relic,
who waited for her in the parlor. She
called her father back and told him
her determination. The result was
that the proud, young beauty was

While, the events above narrated

retired banker in the sleepy town of
Couponville, an artistocratic village in
one of the eastern counties of Ohio
Maud's charms, both physicical and
mental, were the rarest ever lavished
upon woman, and she had been favored
with every advantage of education that
money could purchase. Her beauty
and accomplishments had made
her the idol of Il large circle
Of young men, to no one
Of whom had she ever given the slight
est encouragement. They swarmed
under her chamber windows OH moon
light nights, and made the long hours
hideous with their caterwaulings, until
old Muller got tired of it, and stole
around the corner Of the house with a
gun loaded with tenpenny nails, and
let drive at the flock, killing three out
right and wounding four others SO that
they died the following morning That
was the kind of man Mr.. Muller was,
but he was exceedingly fond of his
daughter and had always been kind to
her.
One evening as Maud was emerging
from her boudoir, where she had been
scrutinizing Il large mirror and dress
ing for the opera, she was met by her
father with the information that Mr..
Muggleton waited in the parlor.
Now, Mr.. Muggleton was an ancient
fossil, who had taken a great fancy to
Maud, and, as he was a man of high
social standing and great wealth, Mr..
Muller had thought best to encourage
him as much as possible, hoping that
his daughter would have the good COM
mon sense to offer no objection on &C
count of age.
"Mr. Muggleton is waiting" repeat
ed Mr.. Muller.
"Well, give him my compliments
and tell him to keep on waiting" re-
turned Maud, with some spirit.
"But don't you intend to go down."
Are you going to be rude?'
"Oh, yes," replied Maud, with an
injured air, ''I'll 20 down and stroke
his shiny old bald head, and ask him
about his children and his grandchil-
dren, and I'll ask him to give me some
personal recollections of Noah. And,
if you like, I'll 60 to the opera with
him, and III ask him if there was bet
ter talent on the boards when he and
Methuselah were young"
CHOW, Maud, =" said Mr.. Muller, "you
are making a fool of yourself. Mr..
MuggletQn never saw Noah in his life.

now he felt that lie was rejected. He
had seen nearly four"score years Of
bachelorhood, and it was getting
monotonous. He dragged himself
wearily and sadly home, and retired to
his couch in Indebtedness.

Some of the residents of Fort Edward

Some of the residents of Fort Edward
have been trifing with the mysteries of
medicine. 1t appeared necessary for the
public welfare to take the conceit out of
a young physician whose claims to per-
sonal beauty and medical skill were
enormous, and since he was self-deceived
in the first particular there was sus-
picion that he might have been duped
into accepting medical diploma. A
healthy Young Irishman was induced to
feign sickness, and young Bolus, who was
persuaded that it was very bad and
very strange case, called three times in
almost as many hours, and finally
addressed the circle Of friends thus:
"His right ventricle is injured, and he
has narrowly escaped an epileptic fit.
1t was extremely fortunate l was here,
or he would surely have died" senti-
ment which the patient celebrated by
springing out of bed.

Common Sense in Advertising.

A model advertisement is designed to satisfy the rational demand of prob able customer to know what you have got to sell. The successful advertiser. therefore, observes three rules: First. he aims to furnish the information " hich the public wants; second he aims to reach that part of the public whose wants he is prepared to satisfy; and third he endeavors to make his informa- tion as easy of acquisition by the public as possible. E
 Many mistakes Of judgment have been m lde in the various ways adopted Of reducing the labor of the public in gain ing this kind of trade information. Men have rlastcTed fences with their an- nouncemests; they have erected hu-r bill boards and covered them with pla- cards; they have stuck painted signs III horse ears and along either side of tho slips Of the ferries; they have even de faced the most picturesque aspects cl and thus, instead of winning and gain ing tEe attention. ahaye awakened an abiding disgust and resentment. The fallacy which undcrlies all these efforts to catch the public on the wing. so to speak. to delude men and women into an unexpected and irresistible desire to buy the something which you have to sell, is that rational beings do not set about shopping or buying in that way Who would think of going 10 the horse cars to find out where any particular article which might be needed could be boughta Who would think of making a trip to the White mountains, or up the Hudson, or alop the Sound. or to Watkins glen. or to Niagara falls, for a similar purpose ..s-..
 The commonest and handiest thing in the American family is the newspaper. and as nearly all shopping proceeds from the family. from its needs, its in telligence, its tastes, its fashions, 1t fol- lows that ths thoughtful and Successful advertiser approaches the family by this means. He does not waste his money and his time in loadin 2 his advertising gun and shooting it of skyEard in the streets, at all creation, Oh the chance that some willing customer may be go- ing that way, and they may be brought down; on the contrary he takes account of the advertising ammunition which he has on-hand,s and loads nd points his gun through thesc columns Of some reput- able new spaper at the game he wantsto hit.
 Besides knowing that the newspapers are the best means of advertising, and how to pick out the best newspapers for his purpose. the successful advertiser fully appreciates the importance of per sistent advertising. Mfr. Bryant used to say that the great influence of the press depends for one thing upon it power of iteration Presenting the same subject in many forms, it finally wins attention and acquiescence. Used in this thorough and systematic way, the ad- vertising columns of the newspapers are useful and essential to the merchant. as means of te Hing the pablic what he has to sell, as the clerks behind t5e counters are to show his goods when the people come to examine them.--NesU Krk Ere,ssng PoSts si.sz -la Faee

How pIseases are Propagateu.

The assertion is made by Professor Tyndall that diseases are propagated, not by effiuvia or sewer gas, but by solid particles discharged into the atmosphere by currents of air or gas. This conclu- sion he was led to by the following ex- periment: He cut up n piece of steak, steeped in water, heated it a.. a little above the temperature of the blood. then strained of the liquid; in a short time this fluid became torpid, and when examined through microscope was found to be swarming with living or
 ganisms; by the application of heat these were killed, and when the solution
 was filtered he obtained a perfectly pure
 liquid, which, if kept free from particles
