The Greek church is substantially the Ro
MN church, excop. tina. il does not recog-
ME the pope OF Rome as the head of the
church or as vieegorent of Christ. 1t
ropudiaIes tho Roman pontiif, aud accepts in
his stead the holy car. In closer sense
than the English sovereign Is the head of the
established religion, the car is the defender
of the Greek church. From the Roman
standpoint the czar Is nothing short of n
prelendor. heis hereto, aud sn;ichrist and
yet the pope Of Rome is sending messages Of
condolences to the car; that IT, no Ia recog-
niziug heresy md sympathzng with TIE
antichrist. Ia he, then, false to his trusl as
the inlallbl0 agent OF tho Saviorg This Ia a
question fur Casuists. When Lincoln was
killed some of the preachers thought tho
tragedy Judgment of hoaven upon the
great ruler Tor misleading his people, in that
he ATTENDED theatre. From tho Roman
standpoint the c2sr was an enemy OF Chris,
and his religion; mos. co.. n'Ggogs and
aggressive ouomy, holding m,limn' ospcopIe,
that otherwise would DO uil .lbprs of the true
faith, in the thraldom Of ignorau,o and the
ways OF sin. He was a colossal hereto u;
whom Rome, II might be thought, would
hurl its thundsrbolts. Instead, Rome do
plorcs his taking oil, and would smooth the
road for his successor. The archbishop e
Dublin lameuls that Irish Catholics, in Ques.
,ions purely political, will listen TO the voice
Of "impious inijes," or welcome aid from
my source other than that of the reverend
clergy. The Roman pontifr bemoans the
death OF tho Au,oerot aud oppressor OF tho
faithful, who, with impioua hand, has dared
20 raise upia rivalry to the real Chrisps rep
resonta!ivte, and masters TO congratulate his
successor, who IA TO continue this war upon
the true faith. IL the holy father wero not

The Penalty OF Greatness.

Senator Fair frequently dimes at an
uptown restaurant. One day last week
he started for that restaurant, and
thoughtlessly walked into saloon near
by. He saw his mistake at once, and
started to go out, but it was too late.
An eager crowd poured into the en-
trance and corraled him beyond hope
of escape. "Senator. how are youp"
you're lookin' fine as a fiddle, Mr..
Fair" "'Tis he that stands in with the
boys" and other hearty greetings some
what embarrassed him. One excited
individual moved to the door and shout
ed to a friend across the street: caste,
lad; 'aste Coon ho'er! FAIRS in

"Oho, Michael! Hurry in, an bring all
the b'ys wild yer In less than min
ute struggling mob blocked the door
way. The Senator was equal to the sit
uation. you'll oblige me, boys, by

as he laid twenty-dollar silver certif-
cate on the bar. The offer was accepted
unanimously, and he finally elbowed
his way outthrough the eXultant crowd.

The Torpedo Chicken.

Further reports were submitted to
the Limekiln Club regarding the tor
pedo chicken, lately invented in Mobile.
A specimen chicken had been procured
by the committee, and its workings ex-
hibited. The invention is not as deadly
as at first supposed. 1t is loaded with
four ounces of bird shot and two of
powder, and placed ON the roost. When
it is reached for catch is thrown out
of place, a powerful spring set in mo-
ton, and hammer strikes and eX-
plodes percussion cap. The shot are
thrown out in every direction, and
within ten seconds after the explosion
a dark figure is seen galloping down
the alley and husky voice is heard in
quiring: /" Fo' de Lawd! but what has
de white folks got hold of nowP' The
committee closed its report as follows:
F" Havin' pushed de investigation an

THE MAN WHO CAME HOME.

One March day Mr.. Mark aunter az
rived in the city of Boston. His per-
sonal appearance was commonplace,
and his reputation did not warrant the
anticipation of his advent by the Mayor
and Common Council. Nobody met
him al the depot. and nobody watched
for him with eager anticipation of Joy
or sorrow. He expected no greeting
other than glimpse of the familiar
streets, church steeples and Common
of the town where he was born, and yet
a certain music had chimed in his ears
during the journey hither. This re-
frain, monotonous and unceasing, had
been, The man who came home. Yes,
he was the man returning home after

Mrs. Erskine was giving a luncheon
party to some lady friends in her home
in the city of New York. The lunch
was quite an informal affair, as she as
sured each guest in cream tinted note
of invitation bearing her family crest
a cock gazing at lighthouse, on sill
yer ground. This form of invitation
signilied to everybody a repast COM
bining all the delicacies of the season, in
the shape of game, salads and jellies,
stimulated by chocolate and coffee and
concluding with champagne. The
lunch was the result of a sleepless
night, when Mrs. Erskine had gazed
with wide-open eyes at bar of light
thrown on the ceiling of her bed
chamber by the gas of the street lamp.
An energetic woman and fond mother,
Mrs. Erskine had calculated the ex-
penses of this feminine feast, and sought
among her acquaintance for those
guests from whom returns would be the
most immediate. Such is the currency
of society.
"The girls must be advanced this
winter, as they have ordered new ball
dresses, and perhaps Charley may find
an heiress."
Mrs. Erskine had thus meditated,
staring at the gas-light on the ceiling,
and it was only when the milkman ut
tered his familiar call at dawn that she
tiedher night-cap strings and fell asleep.
The luncheon party was the happy re-
suit of midnight calculations.
