American Monsignors.


New York Herald.
As the number of monsignors of the Roman
Catholic Church in the United States is increas-
ing, it may be well to give some of their different
grades.
First-There are the Participant, - and these
remain at Rome; next the ''Prothonotaries"
and the domestic prelates. All these have the
title of right reverend, and retain their title and
dignity for life. By custom the vicar generals of
cardinal bishops are made monsignors.
Second-There are the 'Comerieri Segreti," or
secret chamberlains, who retain their title only
during the lifetime of the Pope who creates them
minor grades of no importance-they are simply
and are advanced as circumstances may require.
The habit of the chamberlains is a kind of
purple vestment, which goes to the feet, with a
sash and purple buttons. That of the higher
degrees of the prelates, the monsignOrs and mem.
beers of the papal household, is a purple merino
eassock, scanned with red silk and having a long
train, which is called a Smyrna; a lace rocket, a
purple mantelletta and other insignia of the of
fee. including the pictorial cross, a plain cross Of
heavy gold, and the ring, the setting Of which is
an amethyst in the shape of a bessica piscis OF
fish bladder-one of the early symbols of the
Christian faith. Much interest is being mani
tested among the Catholic clergy and many lay
men of this city as to the name of the priest to
be selected by the prelates of the United States
as rector Of the American College at Rome.
The person named can be accepted or
rejected by the Sacred Congregation of
the Propaganda. The affairs of the college
ut Rome are governed in this country by

When the liquor was brQught he talked to the
waiter again as to his strong preference for Tor
rido, which he declared to De the only whisky
worth drinking. An hour later he was en-
phatically demanding Torrido at the bar, and
again he held an argument on the subject
with a chance acquaintance in the midst Of
an overhearing hundred. There is nothing
that folks are so exacting about in their ignor-
ance," said the friend who explained the profess
sional drinker to me, "as in the matter of
drinks. The slightest thing will set man to or
dering a special brand. There is no telling how
many fellows are now specifying Torrido for no
other reason than that they heard this man men
ton it at the Liederkranz ball. He, no doubt,
cost the firm 500 that night, altogether; but how
else could they have done so much effective ad-
vertising for the same money! But how much
will it cost the professional drinkerl Perhaps

WHY Bismarck Dislikes America.

Berlin Letter.
Bismarck is not enthusiastic in his love Of
Americans. He believes in blue blood, and thinks
there is but little of it in America. He is CON
vinced that we are an uneducated people, or that
we would send educated men to represent us in
foreign courts. He snubs Minister Sargent every
chance he gets, for the reason that he can speak
neither German nor French, and is a mere fig
ure-head in the German capital. The book,
Germany Seen Without Spectacles, by Henry
Ruggles, recently published by Lee & Shepard,
of Boston, has kicked up a good deal of a bob
berry over here, from all accounts. it has had
a large circulation in Germany, many
copies having been sent by German
Americans to their friends in father
land. The author says he has lived two
years in Germany, and several chapters of the
book gives the Germans rather unmerciful
criticisms in their habits of living, customs,
Of their women, dueling, beer drink
ing, etc. These chapters have been translated
and extensively copied by the German press,
and of late one could not go into a Berlin club or
cafe without hearing the book energetically
cussed and discussed A few weeks since, report
says, a Berlin publishing-house had made ar
rangements for issuing an entire translation of
this book, but that Bismarck, Oh hearing of it,
sent a note to the publishers with his own sigma
ture, which quietly put an end to the matter.
A German told me seriously, yesterday, in the
Cafe Bauer, that Bismarck would never smile
on Americans as long as they published such
harsh things about the Germans, even If they
were true.

Senator Hampton was selected by the Presi-
dent on Thursday evening to escort Madame
Christine Nilsson to the dinner given in honor
of the congressman whom he had invited to
meet him socially. As Madame Nilsson is some
what kittenish, the gallant South Carolinian did
not find his duty an easy one, and he was kept
busily engaged looking after his lady during the
evening. President Arthur came to the rescue
when Nilsson went to the piano to play
for the company, and by a singular coincidence
her selection was entitled "Would 1t Be Wrong
to Kiss HIM." AS the President turned over the
leaves of the music the righteousness of the stu
alton can better be imagined than described. In
view of the fact that Patti has been given con
siderable free advertising resulting from an
osculatory tussle with Governor Crlttenden, of
Missouri, it is thought that Nilsson Vas not I'M
mindful of her interests when she played the
above selection to the President. By the way,
Nilsson is a prime favorite with President
Arthur, and last winter when she appeared here
in concert she was a welcome guest at the White
House and charmed a large circle of acquaint-
ances by her manner and accomplishments.

Hopeful Candidates Are Disposed OF by the
Women Without Mercy.

Hopeful Candidates Are Disposed OF by the
Women without Mercy.
From Report of Suffrage Convention.
"Mr. Edmunds," said Mrs. Lilly Devereux
Blake, won't do at all. Ever since he has been
in the Senate he has used his voice and influence
against the Acknowledgement Of women" He
had even desired to disfranehise all the women
of Utah, whether Mormon or gentle. The
Historian of the Kennebec, Mr.. Blaine, had a
better record than Mr.. Ednunds, but he had
never espoused their cause heartily, and the
women wanted no lukewarm lover. Mr.. Conk-
ling had not been good to the women when he
was in the Senate, and the women would
out to them. The giant from pigmy Delaware"
might be a ''chivalrOus Bayard,n but when he
set his lance at rest against the demands of
women he might as well place himself among
the fossil curosities of the national museum.
Mr.. Flower was an outspoken advocate Of
woman suffrage, and if he was nominated the
women would smile upon him. But the most
unequivocal champion was Joseph b. Mcdonald,
who was first to do anything in the United
States Senate for the enfranchisement of wom-
en-. Mrs. Blake thought that if the women had
a vote they would get some slice of the great
pension gift which Congress had just voted.
Mrs. Cougar is familiar with Indiana politics
and politicians. She does not, like Mrs. Blake,
consider ex-senator Mcdonald sure-enough
savior toward whom all women suffragists must
look for enfranchisement She remarked, i'll
conversation last evening, that, although Sena-
tor Mcdonald spoke for the women while in the
Senate, yet, when it came to a contest in his
own State between the Democrats and liquor
league on the one side and the women on the
other, he was true to his Democratic instincts,
and went with the liquor league. The same
lady paid her respects to Senator Fair in this
fashion: HE cried one way and voted the other
way, when we addressed the Senate committee

Sophomore Rhetoric in the House on the
Death of Congressman Haskell.

| seem to see now in fancy my departed
friend on that far shore. his once soaring spirit
in peaceful repose at last, basking in the glad
sunrise of an eternal morning. From that in
finite height may we not fancy him comprehend
ing in the vast sweep Of his perfected vision the
places, events and interests that attracted his
thoughts and engaged his energies in life2 So
shall he look down upon a grateful country, her
reverent millions paying the tribute of tears to
one who served their interests faithfully, whose
devotion to the cause of social regeneration and
whose championship of the rights and dignity Of
American labor challenged their sincere admira-
ton. In the van of them all will he behold the
sorrowing hosts of his own State watering his
grave with tears, and bedecking it with lily and
immortelle. When these flowers fade and their
fragrance perishes, surviving affection will
rear a sculptured column above his dust, and
the enduring marble itself shall crumble and
decay ere his name and fame fade from recOl-
lection.
sophomore Bedford, of Colorado.
Dying is but a disappearing mist from the
crest of the mountain. How many ships with
full sails go out into the bosom of the ocean only
to return battered and worn. How many hearts
commenced life joyful and gladstone, to after
ward beat irregular ticks, like a clock out of
time. He was plucked from us in the very
springtime of his days, with the pulses of
thought strong, vigorous and clear. How en-
chantingly the rainbow of future promise must
have appeared to him and with what endearment
he must have embraced the prophecies of the
future. 1t is inexpressibly sad to wit
ness the scissors of death severing the
threads that bind the human soul to
this earth. What hopes are crushed, what an
ticipations are frosted. The ocean that separates
this world from the next no human eye can
penetrate. Oh, what is death but a re-birth into
that larger life where we go on foreverl Who
can measure the compass of our eXistences We
come here without our consent, and depart with

Sophomore Russell, of Massachusetts
Mr.. Speaker. since we were selected from the
people for this Congress seven of our number
have been called to that undiscovered country
whence no traveller returns. Certainly we are
not without adnonition or warning of the un-
certainty of human life, and that the grim mes
senger, Death, is no respecter of persons.

Ash Wednesday brought the social season to
an end, and the usual moralizing about the
dreaded wear and tear upon the debutantes of
society is going the rounds. Pictures of how the
young girls have become pallid and worn, weak
and thin through their devotion to gayeties this
winter are strongly drawn. No one thinks of
giving the young man a chance. He is the real
sufferer by the season. If a girl goes out after
dinner and stays up till 2 OF. 3 o'clock in the
morning, she is allowed to sleep snugly in her
bed the following day until IL or II o'clock,
when she gets up, eats a comfortable breakfast
and feels quite as well as she ever did in her life.
1t is different with her brother. In all prob
ability he had to walk home at 2 or 3
o'clock in the morning to save cab fare, fall
heavily into bed at 4, slept until s, and was
obliged to hurry down town, so as to get to the
office before the old man" arrived. Night after
night he kept this up, scratching along for a
greater part of the season on four or five hours
sleep out of t%wenty-four. At theen of the season
he is usually used up. His sister, however, gets
all the sympathy. She goes off to the country
early, is well taken care of, plays tennis, sails or
lies all day in a hammock, reading Marion Craw-
ford. Meanwhile the young man still keeps up
his habit of crawling into the house after mid
night, and dragging himself out again at 8
o'clock in the morning. If he gets two Weeks
vacation in the summer he is fortunate. Mean
while everybody pities the society girl.

HOW TO BOIL I
Charles Delmonico's Recipe for So Appar-
emily Simple Thing.

emily Simple Thing.
New York Letter in Chicago Journal.
Now that the Crists-the heirs of the Delmon-
icos-are to have their names legally changed to
Crist-D elmonico, in order to perpetuate the
name of the great restaurant man, | must tell
you the old story of how the late Charles Del
monico used to talk about the new hot-water
cure. He said the DelmOnicos were the first to
recommend it to guests who complained of hav-
ing no appetite. Take a cup of hot water and
lemon and you will feel better, was the form
ula adopted, and the cup of hot water and lemon
was simply a little hot water with a
drop of lemon juice in it to take
away the insipidity. For this anti-bil-
ious remedy the caterers charged the
price Of a drink of their best liquors-25 cents
or more-and it certainly was a wiser way to
spend small change than in alcohol. Few peo-
pie know how to cook water" Charles used to
affirm. THE secret is in putting good, fresh
water into a neat kettle, already quite warm, and
setting the water to boiling quickly, and then
taking it right off for use in tea. coffee, or other
drinks, before it is spoiled. To let it steam and
simmer and evaporate until the good water was
all in the atmosphere, and the lime and iron and
dregs only left in the kettle-bah! that is what
makes a great many people sick, and is worse
than no water at all" Every lady who reads
this valuable recipe of a great and careful cook
should never forget how to cook water.

Do Crows Know when 1t Is Sunday?

AAHAA WIN AAhNH
A large number of crows were foraging for
food yesterday quite close to the house of a
farmer residing in another town, near the Hart
ford boundary. They were unusually bold, as
though hunger had driven them to forget their
usual shyness and distrust of their natural enc
my-man Two of them lit close to the back
door, and picked up the crumbs with q seeming
assurance of their safety not easily accounted
for. The farmer was telling a neighbor about
the tameness of the birds, and the latter re
marked: 'You won't see them so foolhardy to-
morrow" why not tomorrow as well as to
day?9 was the answer. Because to-day is Sun
day, and those crows know it. They know that
one day in seven they are not popped at by boys
and men. They can count, crows can, and they
know that on the seventh day they are exempt
from persecution do you believe such stuff
