CHILDREN IN ARMS.
That Is to Say in Each Others Arms-LOve
at Thirteen.

ROME, N. Y, July 4.-The elopement of
Miss Cora Wisaid, aged thirteen years, and
Henry Burns, sixteen years old, is the sensa-
ton of the hour at Westmoreland The ju-
venile Juliet is petite little miss, with light
brown hair, dark, flashing eyes and pretty
features, while Romeo Burns revels in forid
hair and complexion, and walks, looks and
talks awkwardly. The children learned to
love each other at the village school, and con-
Quoted their courtship much after the fashion
of their elders. When the school closed for
the summer vacation Miss Cora, with tears in
her eyes, told her youthful adorer that she
was going with her parents to st. Lawrence
county for the summer. Burns quietly
the agony of separation. This feeling,
she said, was reciprocal. An elopement was
Immediately planned. That night the youth,
who is the son of a well-to-do blacksmith,
reached her house lettering under the weight
of huge ladder. This, after much exertion,
he placed against Cora's bedroom window.
He then assembled, tapped gently on the win
dow pane, and an instant later she appeared,
dressed in her BEST and reached the ground,
with the assistance of her adorer The above
details are related by a young friend of
Burns, who met them at the depot. He
seemed greatly elated, and said he had plen-
ty of money. At o'clock the next morning
Miss Coras father discovered the ladder rest
ing against the daughters window. Assur-
ing himself that she was gone, he immedi-
ately went to the residence of the black
smith and together they went in search OF
the young runaways. No trace of them was
found in the city After making inquiry at
the hotels and several boarding-h ouses, they
took the train for this city.

he had served so ably, honorably AMI faith
fully.
Archbishop Purcell had the pity of every
one, the iIl-will OF none Tie thoughts and
tears and prayers of his faithful flock have
followed him to his recuse abode. They
have yearned for his eloquence and
divine teachings. Protestants whom he
took by the hand and aided
with money or advice who knew his ster
ling worth; infidels who respected his
sincerity and admired his pure and sim
pie life; Catholics who were under his almost
fatherly care for so many, many years, will
all drop tear OF earnest sorrow and regret
for his loss. and his epitaph will be written
upon the hearts of his fellow-citzens, Of
whatever creed or condition: He loved God
and humanity. His life speaks eloquently
OF his virtues, and his piety was as sincere as
his charity was bounGless."
1t is related that when Bishop Purcell was
priest in this (the Cincinnati) diocese there
was a man named John Hughes priest in
the New York diocese. PuFcelPs name also
being John, the two men were known in
church circles as Big and Little John, Hughes
being Big John, Purcell Little John. At that
time the Baltimore diocese was the largest in
the country, New York second and Cincinnati
third. John Purcell stood higher in the estI-
nation of the Pope than did John Hughes.
When the appointments of Bishops for New
York and Cincinnati were to be made the
Pope directed that Purcell be made Bishop
OF the New York Diocese and Hughes OF the
Cincinnati Diocese. thus comforting the
greater honor ON Purcell But by mis-
understanding of the directions by the per
son carrying out the edict of the Papal See
the order was reversed, ana Purcell was
placed over the Cincinnati Diocese and
Hughes over that of New York.

Character of the Dead Churchman.

Clncinnatl enquirer.
In many respects the beloved prelate was a
most remarkable man. and one whose inhu-
ence for good will be felt among the genera
tons yet unborn. His precepts were follow
ed by his own example. He never required
any self-denial from others which he did not
practice himself; and in all his long and no.
BILE life no one accused him OF insincerity as
man or hypocrisy as a teacher who showed
those who would listen to his eloquence the
Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of
the world. Archbishop Purcelps zeal for his
church and his God was sublime
in its infinite intensity. Yet, with
al, he was liberal to those of other
faiths. He was Catholic, because he be-
lieved it the oldest and truest church OF
Christ, but he would never say that those
who d fiered with him could not enter the
kingdom of God. In his guileless, chilti-lke
heart there was charity for all men, and he
evinced by his intercourse with the world
that he, although a high dgnitary in the
Catholic church, acknowledged the father
hood of God and the brotherhood Of man.
He was mortal, and made mistakes OF the
head, but none of the heart He always
erred on the side of mercy, and his pure
simple nature made him the subject OF inipo-
sition and trlckery. And it was not so
much by bis pulpit eloquence his wonder
full power of reasoning, his consummate
skill in debate that the great prelate won the
hearts of the people, who followed their
shepherd with that love which knew that
he would lead them to virtue, happiness and
salvation.
The unfortunate financial troubles of the
good old Archbishop were. without doubt
the cause of his death. The giant oak which
lowered so high in the RELIGIOUS armament,
struck by the financial storm, withered and
died. The once mighty prelate, hnnlhled by
the failure, distressed by the sufferings Of
his poor people, hied away to the seclusion
OF the beautiful convent in Brown county,
where he might be alone with his God, whom

Archbishop Woods Successor.


SCRANTON, Pa, July 4.-The impression
prevails among those who are well informed
that Bishop OHara, of this city, who is the
senior bishop of the province of Pennsvlva-
mia, will receive the pallium from Rome
as the successor of the late Archbishop Wood,
of Philadelphia. The belief is strengthened
by the fact that Bishup o Hara has been sum-
moned TO tine Eternal City to attend the
meeting of American archbishops which
takes place there next November. When the
call was sent forth Archbishop Wood was
quite i'll. and it was forwarded to the bishop
of this diocese. In addition to this distinc-
ton which has been shown to Bishop o. Hara
by the Holy See, he has the advantage of a
thorough acquaintance with Philadelphia,
having been brought up in the
Quaker City and served there
many years as a priest. He was vicar
ge neral of that diocese twenty-five wears, and
during that time was actively concerned in
the direction of Its affairs. He is amable,
venerable and transformations. and has been
a priest for forty years He acquired his
classics and philosophy in Rome, and was
there ordained. He was consecrated bishop
in 1868, by the late Archbishop Wood and
Immediately afterward became the first bish-
OPP of the Scranton diocese. Bishop o. Hara
attended the sessions of the Ecumenical
Council in 1869 and made his decennial visit
to the shrine of the apostles ad limina apos-
tolorum, which every bishop is required to
pay in the year $780, Until the elevation of
Archbishop Wood to the archiepiscopal chair
Pennsylvania was part of the province of
Baltimore. AT that time, however, il was
constituted separate province, with Phila-
delphia as the metropolitan city, and incl I'D

One of the participants was wounded. The
affair was not bloodless, as have been the
half-dozen dues fought in Virginia in the
last TWO or three years. Mr.. Beirne is,
think, native of Green orier county, in West
Virginia. but has lived in Rchmo d, Va,
ever since the war, having become pro-
prletor of the State at the death of
j. H. Chamberlain. Elan is a native,
l think, of North Carolina. Malone

pathies of the reputable classes are entirely
with Mr.. Beirne. You know the laws of
Virginia are more severe against dueliug
than assassination. They are too severe to
be enforced unless public opinion is in sup
port. Consequently, although by the stat

Slavery in the soudan.

At Berber We note for the first time
the excess Of the pure negro race, either
the descendants of former slaves or the
actual slaves of the swarthy Arab mer-
chants. These Berberine blacks are to
all appearances most happy and con-
tented. Whether they are held in
bondage or not, all alike have either
laugh or song on their lips. The labor
they perform is to a European observer
of the most dilatory character, a chant
accompanying the slightest physical ex-
ertion. SO slight is the physical power
exhibited that four men will leisurely
roll bale of goods that an English
wharfman or porter would make nothing
of. They pause at every turn OF a
package and sing in unison; then over
1t goes again; in fact, they take an hour
doing what an ordinary laborer at home
would accomplish in a quarter of the
time, and no one seems to hurry them.
They apparently have it all their own
way, and their way is to take things
lesurely. Let 1t be understood that no
apology is offered here for slavery,
though from my inquiries among those
in forced scrvitude did not meet with
one who desired to return to his or her
native condition of barbarism; and
this, think, speaks volumes in favor of
the kind way in which they are general
ly treated. Through the medium of an
interpreter, l had long conversation
with a couple of very neatly-clad Durka
men, hailing from the country south of
Seminar, lying between the White and

when young in a tribal war-something,
for instance, like feud would be be-
tween Yorkshiremen and Northumbrians
and though their captors were of the
same race they were mercilcssly sold
into servitude. To-day they rcpudiate
all notion of returning TO their own
country. They said; tsHere we are

they termed him, "kind father" "He
