THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Pastoral Letter from Bishop healy.

At ST. Dominic's church, the following let
ter from Bishop Healy was read yesterday:
In common with all our fellow-citizens we
deplore the murderous attack upon the chief
magistrate of the nation. Our respect and our
adherence to the President is founded upon no
ordinary motives Whatever smay be due to
his personal character or virtues, whatever
may be the political bias, or the esteem of abil-
ity is of little moment compared to higher and
more impressive reasons. To have attacked
him with murderous intent was to attack the
order. the life of the nation; but it was moro
than that to us. 1t was crime against God
and His divine ordinance, commanding us to
be subject to higher powers, to fear God,
honor the king.
For the name or title of the chief magis-
trate OF a people is of no importance, king
or president are equally to be reverenced and
obeyed in their proper sphere. Let every
soul, says st. Paul, be subject to higher pow
ers; for there is no power but from God
Therefore he that resisteth the power, resist
eth the ordinance of God," Rom xiii:2.
What would the apostle have said of an in.
sane and traitorous attempt upon the life of
the head of the nation. Let us deplore the
evil spirit, the education without God, that de-
stroys obedience, and reverence for authority
and leads to crimes like this against the
neighbor and against the representatives Of
law and authority.
After mass we will say the litany of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, patroness of our coun-
try, asking her intercession for the recovery
Of the President of the United States.

That the Forest City should be girdled with
famous resorts by sea and mountain, is, doubt
less, part of tho eternal fitness of things
Among such retreats none has had wider
fame, nor has now greater attractions than the
Ocean House under the charge of Mr.. Wolcott.
AS the first scorching days arrive, the allure
ments Of this fair sea-nook are almost as nu-
merous as irrisitble. Appreciatiye guests are
already domcied here, and a few weeks will
crowd its hospitable piazzas. Among those
now in possession are Mrs. Patterson of Balti-
more, and Miss Gerry of Portland, Governor
Roche from Canada with a party of ladies, and
others. Friday brilliant "team'' of Port
landers paid their respects to their fair repre-
sentatives by the waves. The summer night
was luminous in color: the air grateful with
ocean breeZes; the waves golden under the
moon; the shingly beach resonant with the
gleamring tide. Rare music added melody
to beauty and blended with the witchery Of
wave and forest, of moonbeam and shadow the
mystery of sound. Upon such background
pleasant memories never lose their color.
Whoever comes hither seward seeking morn
ing lights or vespcr shadows, will, as did this
gay party, make but one compaint-"Old
Time! you drag your hours too fast!"

A Game that Didn't Work


A Lewiston gentleman went to Boston on
the boat from Portland a few nights since with
between $500 and $500 in money in his pocket.
He fell in with two young fellows, who learned
in some way that he had plump pocket book
The gentleman states that the two fellows
made themselves very agreeable to him, in the
way of cigars and refreshments, and he Won
dered at it somewhat Before reaching Bos-
ton the steward of the boat informed him that
he had accidentally overheard the two fellows
discussing plan to rob him. They proposed
to ask him to drink when they arrived at 8os-
ton, and to give him some drugged liquor and
then ego through him." The stewards COM
munication put the Lewiston man on his
guard. He did not alter his manner to the
two fellows, but when, on arriving in Boston,
he was asked to stake something" he didn't
take, and wasn't taken. One of the fellows
got into the hands of the police and the other
skipped. The gentleman has arrived home
and SO tells the story.
