The Democrats in congress are ac-
cusing the Republicans Of good deal
of cunning in creating necessity for
large governmental expenditures and
then cutting down appropriations, so
as to leave large Deficiencies to be
made up by the next Democratic con-
gress. In the pension office alone the
Democrats fear Il deficiency by the
end of the fiscal year 1884 of about
100000, 900, to be added to the COM
missioner's estimate of s1j0,00O, 900
for 1884.

Tho Usual Result.

1t is not to be denied that good
sewing machine is one of the most i'm.
portant appurtenances of the modern
household.
We thought W. had good machine
in our household until one day the
agent of the New HOME presented
himself at our door and proceeded to
deliver an Grafton upon its character
istc merits.
"But,' we answered, "our machine
serves us nicely and suits us well, and
we do not care for another"
The agent, however, begged the
privilege of leaving one of his machines
with us "tor the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable,
so we granted it--but more to obligc
the agent than anything else; for we
really did not want the machine, and
had not the remotest idea Of buying it..
The machine once in the house, it
was natural that the ladies should
look it over. They did so, and as a
consequence fell in love with it. They
say that without the slightest wish to
decry or disparase any other machine,
this, all things considered, is, in their
opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
The upshot Of the whole matter was
that the old machine was disposed of,
md the "Light-Running New Home"
installed in our household. 1t is pro-
nounced a genuine beauty and real
comfort, and Sour folks" wanted us to
tell other folks about it.
This unrivalled machine. in manu-
factured by the New Home Sewing

Anecdote of the Reverend
Jeremiah O'caliaghar.

Incidents in the early history OF the
Catholic Church in Vermont would
make an interesting volume if written
up by some party acquainted with the
facts. The three early missionaries OF
this denomination in the State, Revs'
jeremiah O'Callaghan, John Daily,
and William lyers, were characters,
no mistake. Rev. Mr.. Daily minister
ed to the Catholics spread over the
Southern parts of the State, including
Castleton. NIiddlebury, Brandon, Rut-
land, used to come as far North as
Plymouth and Woodstock. The Rev.
Mr.. Ivors resided at St. Adams, where
he built church in 1872. He also
did +, missionary work in Berkshire,
Troy. St. .Jolmsbury, Peacham and
DmvilIe. These men exercised a
great influence for good among the
Immigrants flowing into the State from
Ireland and the Canadas, and many
anecdotes are told of them how they
"scooped money from serving girls
and boys "tor the good of the church,
especially, Of Father Daily Rev.
Mr.. O'Callaghan was Il native OF the
County of Cork, Ireland, arrived in
Burlington in 1880, the first Catholic
missionary in The State. and con-
seouently the "boSs' Of the works.
We knew him well. lie built the
first Catholic church in the State, at
Burlington. in 1888. This church
was destroyed by fire in 1888. In
1911, st. Marv's Church was built by
him. The funds for its erection were
contributed by the congregation, aided
by the liberal donations of the native
Americans, and by collections obtained
in neiehboring cities. In this church
the seats were common to all, the first
Corners selected such as they preferred.
O'Callaghan had no salary and de-
pended solely on free will offerings
these were mighty small--and it was
sometimes necessary for him to resort
10 "strategy' III order to live. But he
was good man and worked faithfully
for the spiritual and moral welfare of
his people. He did missionary work
in Montpelier, Mortified, Moretown, in
fact in most of the towns in Chittcnden
and Washington counties. He was an
eccentric man. His book on "usury"
will be recollectcd by many, in which
lig uItN DCUicu tudl Ill WIS a. Sill W
take interest on money loaned. But
to our aneclote. lie was an ardent
Democrat, and sometimes took hand
in the advancement of his party in the
State. In 1912 or 3, 1--WE can't state
the year accurately W Hon. John Smith,
father Of Ex-Governor John Gregory
Smith, was the Democratic candidate
for Governor, and O'Callaghan waded
in for him, and while addressing an
audience at Burlington, countryman,
fresh from the sod, perched on an adj
iacent fence, like a turkey, interrupted
him by asking-:'Father, isn't Mr..
Smith Il Protestant and wont he be
damned" This rather disconnected
the speaker, but he soon rallied, and
said-'Of course Mr.. Smith is a Prod
istant and will be damned, but he is Il
Dim0crM." Tbs settled the question,
aad all Hurrahed for John Smith.

ceived various places under the state,
not only of honor but of profit. lie

Forty-fourth and Forty-titth congresses,
