Probably few Americans ever heard OF the
obscure German iowa of Kiingenberg-on-
Main, moi far from Aschaff- nburg; but never
theless il IL town we'll worth knowing and
initiating. II seems that the town corpora
ton has J large interes; in certain qnarries
which have recently become very valuable;
and the result is that not only are there no
taxes levied in this little Utopia, but every
burgher is presented at Christmas With a
sum of money equivalent to SIS. The Co.
logue Gazette ssys that at the celebration of
the Sedan festival this year the corporation
of the town ''gave gifts TO its householders
and children of all ages actually attendin
school. Each head of family received I'm.
every schoolboy and girl 20pf., or about
24d. On the occasion, moreover, a few
months ago, on opening a bridge across the
the Main, built by the municipality at a cost
of el0,000-not a farthing of which was
contributed by the tewnsmen-a bonus of
los per head was handed TO each burgher,
and all the school children got Cd apiece

the Craze for stropg DRINK.

Jennings" the London correspondent OF
the New York World, writes that mo one who
has not lived much in England can form the
least idea OF the extent to WHICH intemper-
ance is INDUCED in by an enormously large
proportion OF the population. The national
expenditure is lsrge-over $4,000, O00-but
the amount annually spent in drink is much
larger. Men will sacrifice everything for
it-home, family, position, the happiness Of
their children, their own health and, lastly,
their lives. What is there in it 10 excite
this mad desire? / had a man in my own
employment who was intelligent, active and
very we'll educated, a man fitted TO get on in
any part of the world where his fate had
happened to draw him. But he could not
pass a drinking saloon. All his own interest

but the first time that drink came in his way

upon helpless women and children, the num-
Der of homes which are broken up and
ruined, the thousands OF human beings who

The New York Herald says: "An organi.
cation which styles itself the German Ro
man Catholic Central Society has been in
session for several days past away out in
Milwaukee, Wis. According 10 come of the
latest dispatches one OF its committees has
reported resolution sin favor of the ergani-
cation of Catholics for the purpose Of elect,
ing candidates TO political Offices who will
protect Catholics in their constitutional
rights Of unimpaired religious worship.
What does all this mean? Is there any
State, city or town in the country to-day
where Ca holics are not prott cted in their
constitutional rights of unimpaired relig-
ious worshipP II there is we have never
heard of it. This German Catholic society
will affect the majority of the people as a
very silly organization. There is no country
in the world Io-day where Catholics have so
many rights they have IN the United
States. They have NOT, il is true, any more
privileges than they are fairly and legally
entitled TO. No one proposes to take these
away from them, but they must not claim
any special immunities SIS sgsinst. other re-
ligious denominations. PoIitics has always
been the bane of the Catholic Church. The
less ii has to do with it in this and in every
other country the better"

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, in letter to the
Boston Journal, raises this question about an
almost forgotten gift: "Some ten or twelve
years ago all who are Interested in the in
dustrial training of women were electrified
by the announcement that John S mmons,
Just then deceased, had left fund Of 81 ,400, :
600 10 establish an institution for the prac-
tical industrial education of women that
would ft them to obtain livelihood. 1t was
said that Mr. Simmons was led to make
this disposition OF his property by observing
in the course of his tIring
mems clothing-how unskilled most women
are in practical work. He resolved 10 help
remedy their Ignorance, and bequeathed his
property for this purpose. the fund was
left in the management of honorable, re-
spopsible parties, themselves interested in
the proposed work. Through the press we
have learned that the Boston fire has de-
layed the realiz alton of Mr.. Simmons's
benevolent project, but nothing more. Not
doubling but all is right, there are many
whose thoughts often turn to this proposed
industrial college, wondering when its mis-
sion of good will be begun. Can any one

An Eventual Life.

Seldom is there recorded more eventful
life-story than that OF Skarbeck de Malczew-
ski, whose death at the age of 100 years has
just been announced in Warsaw. He entered
the Prussian army in his youth and was
made prisoner by the French at Jena,
when he at once changed his nag, Joined
Dombrowski's corps, and fought 80 well at
Eylau as TO receive a high decoration at the
close of the battle. At Hanau he was badly
wounded. He accompanied Bonapsrte 10
Eba, and came away from there with him,
going to LAZY as orderly officer to King
Joachim Murat. At Gaeta the English
captured him and handed him over to the
Ausirians, from whom he escaped in time TO
Join Bonaparte at Waterloo, where be was
again seriously wounded. Under the Cars
proclamation of amnesty he went back to
Holland, entered the Russian army, and rose
10 4 high rank, but when the Polish insur-
rection OF 1880 broke out he Joined il, fought
desperately, was wounded. captured and sent
TO Siberia for life. After spending hall
century in penal exile he was pardoned, and
returned to his native city to die.

ment, thinking that he would be able TO get
q few winks. His idea in having suite
TO himself was that he might be Sc
cluded and undistuIbed. 1t seems, however,
that Mr. Spencer could not rest profoundly.
Sunday be left he hotel to visit George w.
Childs at Wootton, and spent the day there.
1t is one OF Mr.. Spencer's fancies to change
his location often and try different rooms
and beds and situations in the hopes OF
wooing slumber. His preference ia for rooms
very high up and very far back, and having
concluded TO try new situation after being
at Mr.. Child's day, he went 10 the Aldine
Hotel, where he was given at his own request
a room in the extreme rear of the house, as
far removed from the street as possible. He
subsists almost entirely upon dry toast and
sardines. His health has been so bad and
he has found the annoyance of travel SO
great that he has abandoned his projected
Western trip, and will return to England as
soon as he feels we'll enough TO undertake
the VOYAGE.

A Foolish Jadse.

This was done, and the order given. Ben

escape from drowning in the sea fortnight
ago. He fell overheard from London and
Aberdeen steamer while she was passing the
Firth Of Forth, and though the engines were
stopped and boat was lowered, no trace OF

hundred yards TO the stern of the ship The
boat being again lowered, he was finally
rescued after he had been more than half
hour in the water. During that period of
suspense the canon's wife had been among
the excited passengers who were witnessing
the painful scene from the deck of the

The exclusion OF Marmion from the high
schools OF Ontario, on the ground OF its al
legged immortality and offensivene-s to Roman
Catholics, is evidently creating great local

over two columns TO series OF brief com.

as it had done before, the condemnation Of
the book 1t does not claim that it is i'm
moral, but alleges that there are cert ain
passages which are not fitted for critical
analysis by young persona. Carelessly read
they might do no harm, but they are not fit
TO be dNelt upon. If this were ali, the Of
fepsive stanzas, which are few in number,

however, some OF the incidents are offensive
to Catholics, and this is an age of forbear-

and they will exist as long irritating text

turned 10 the hotel to find that the very

and being in such poor health besides, Mr.

merers came to him with letter of introduc-
ton, met him with an Indifferent wave of

whole suite OF rooms, at SIS day extra, and
chose the rear room as his sleeping apart
