HUMOROUS.

A Bosros congregation is disguised
with their minister becausa he has no
sense of the fitness of things. A cele-
brated divine had preached SO fervently
and with so much soul-stirring force
that when he sat down the people were
hushed and many in tears. Hardly was
the great preacher seated before their
own shepherd popped up and briskIy
announced that the parishioners were
expected to turn out in large numbers
to the sociable to be held on the follow
ing evening, and that they were reques-
ted to bring with them liberal contribu-
tions of cold corned beef, tongues,
turkey, ham sandwiches, and hot bis
cuit. There is time for all things.
There is time for mourning and
time for rejoicing. But the time to
talk of cold corned beef and fxings is
clearly not In moment of intense spir.
itual exaltation.

FoGG at the opera: FOgg was at the
opera the other evening, and sat in
front of a young gentleman who showed
his musical knowledge by humming the
airs as they occurred. At the close of
the first act Fogg turned around to say,
in Voice sufficiently loud to be heard
by score OF others; II am very much
obliged to you, sir. for the little con-
cert you have been giving me; you are
are very kind, but to tell you tile truth,
they made so much noise on the stage
that 1 didn't ENJOY it nearly SO much as
l ought" The young gentleman said
nothing, but he looked volumes. Dur
ing the second act he omitted his obi
cato, and the stage people had to get on
as best they could without it.

such employees to prolong the case to be
tried, therefore the Government invariably
secured assistant counsel upon a certain
stipulated fee. You can very
readily sec that if lawyer
is employed by the day to look after a mat

the case. 1t is human nature, whereas If
he was paid certain stipulated fee, he
would bring the case to an end as soon as

Timothy O. Howe.

When the political earthquake of 1854
began to convulse the country the Demo-
Gratis had almost the entire United States
Senate-only one or two Senators muster
ing in the opposition. Old Ben Wade was
one of the two or three One by one, how
ever, the Northern and Western States
withdrew their Democratic Senators and
substituted Republicans for them. At that
time the State of Wisconsin was entirely
under the control of the Democrats, and
had been for many years. In fact, it was
considered as thoroughly Democratic as
New Hampshire, or South Carolina, even.
Unawed, however, by the formidable array
against him, Judge Howe entered into the
contest with unshrinking courage, and his
indefatgable labors and unanswerable
logic soon rallied a majority of the people
ofhis State under the banner which he so
gallantly carried.
In 1861 he took his seat in the Senate of
the United States, and for eighteen long
years, embracing the period of our civil
war, he stood in the front rank among his
Senatorial brethren and, nothwithstand-
ing the fierce passions engendered by the
situation, and the angry collisions which
took place between differing political parti-
sans while the Senate was in session, it is
believed that when he left that body there
was not one of his colleagues who did not
entertain the kindliest feelings for him.
And, SO far as is now known, tho dead
statesman carried to the portals of the grave
only the kindliest feelings for all men, no
matter what their political predictions
may have been.
But above all, and best of all, the crown.
ing feature of Judge Howe's career was the
fact that amid all the, corruption and ex-
travagance engendered by the civil war
when Government expenditures ran up to
hundreds of millions per annum, aud when
the Capitol was crowded by hordes of "a.
pacious spectators in all sorts of war
supplies and munitions; when many an
honest name was irretrievably smirched and
blasted, and when the Government was
robbed and swindled on every hand not a
breath of calumny ever was breathed upon
the name of the honored dead and when
he came to lay his head upon the pillow o
death, he did so with the calm conscious.
ness that he had faithfully discharged
every duty, and that no ill-gotten lucrc
had ever found its way into his pockets. Hi
example, in this respect, is worthy of tn,
highest commendation, and his country
men Of all parties will not be slow in recog
nizing the fact that in Judge Howe's deatt
the country has sustained sad and irrep
arable loss that one of our purest and
most unselfsh patriots has disappeared from
the councils Of the Nation forever.

THE CRITIC ABROAD,

There was something very phsrisaical
as well as ridiculous" said prominent
member of the Catholic Church to the
Critic yesterday, ain Dick Merrick's sol.
cmn sermon anent the Christian faith In
court yesterday
why specially so in Dick Mcrrick's S
case2"
simply because he publicly proclaimed
himself on one occasion rs virtually be-
lieving in no church. At least, in the es-
timation and idea of our Catholic faith"
when was that?'
"Some years ago when we had terri
torial form of government Merrick was the
Democratic nominee for delegate to Con-
gress. Chipman was the Republican candi-
date. Merricll thought that the fact that
he attended st. Matthew's Church might
injure his political chances with anti
Catholic voters. So in hopes to solidify
himself he announced in "a public meeting
that he was only a hickory Catholic
"What is a hickory Catholic?"
"A hickory Catholic is regarded by the
church as no Catholic at all. 1t Isl man
who uses his Christianity just to suit him
self taking it off and putting it on as occa-
sion requires, or convenience pleases. 1t
was an unfortunate assertion for Dick to
make at the time for while it gained him
no Protestant votes, 1t lost him the support
of many conscientious Catholics who prefer
o positive member of different creed to u
hickory sapling of their own. In view of
Dicks hickoriness as self-averred, think
his deep religious utterauces yesterday
sublime, but sublime only in ridiculous
sense"

What is that thing trying to twist its
legs up like whip over there by the lamp
post, PopW asked the Oldest of the
Critics brood to-day, as he pushed through
the throng of people along Market Space
"That, my son." he replied, after cautious
scrutiny, "is Government clerk out for
holiday"
"Do they often get out, Pop?" continued
the son and heir, persistently.
"They do was the response, "out Of
pocket, but not for holidays"
And does it always affect them that
wayf'' :,
Generally it does"
"Why has tho Government clerk holi-
day; Easter and all those other days have
passed"
"He hasa holiday because recently-de-
ceased Cabinet officer is to be buried to-
day."
"Do they often bury dead Cabinet of
fcers?"
I'm this country, no; but the poor Gov
ernment clerk would rejoice if it was the
custom to bury one week"
'The clerk is trying to untwist himself,
Pop; he seems to ebb and flow, as it were /;
what is the trouble now p
He sees an angel, my son, and is pre-
pairing to embrace him."
IAN angel! Why what is that ?n
"a Good Samaritan, a national bank on
legs, SO to speak, who will do the big act"
"But, how will he see the angel, Pop, he
has fallen asleep. Has the poor man no
place to sleep, except against lamp-post ?"
"He has, my son. Do you see that tall
gentleman in blue cloth and brass buttons,
smiling at the young lady with one eye and
glaripg at the Government clerk with the
otberY"
''Yes, Pop; it's pliceman."
''Well, he will put the poor clerk to bed.
"What will the clerk do tomorrow, Pop /;
he will not then have holiday"
ooh! he will do we'll enough. He will
send physicians certificate to the Office,
declaring him seriously i'll, and continde to
twist his legs for the rest of the week"
Clerks must have very hard time
Pop?"
Very
