4 laughable incident occurred In a
Sunday school in this city a week Or
two ago. 1t was At the close of the
class exercises, and the pastor was en-
deavOring to impress on the minds OF
the children the lessons of the day
He ventured on the risky operation
of asking questions, and with his
most engaging smile, inquired:
"Now, children, how many of you
ever saw bear?'
About half the hands IN the school
went up instanter, and all the eyes
blazed with delight at the joyous re-
collection.
"But,' continued the clergyman,
where was 1t you saw the bear?'
"'Circus" screamed fifty childish,
voices, the shrill treble OF the infant
class rising high above all the rest
The minister omitted to give tie
children the great moral truth which
the bear was intended to illustrate.

tPeck's SUM-

The reason kissing is SO pleasant.
says an osculatory expert of scientific
tendencies, is because the teeth, Jaw
homes, and lips are full of nerves, and
when the lips of persons meet an
electric current is generated.-lY Yonk-
ers Gazette.
Yes. and it's so confounCed cheap.
You don't have to have dynamo
machine, nor a battery in the house,
nor call box, nor a button to touch
to ring up the central office, and
there is no patent on it. and the
poorest person In the world can en-
joy the electric current better than
the millionaire, and 1t never gets out
of order. II Edison had invented
kissing It would cost 800 year, like
the telephone, and extra kissing
would be charged for extra, and if
you didn't pay for it they would take
out your kissaphone and disconnect
you from the central Office.

We desire to emphasize the
fact that our garments are not
only superior in material but of
superior cut and finish, and far
beyond ordinary ready-made

superiority we are receiving a

We show the same superiority

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Secretary Freling-

ing from w. w. Astor, United States minister
to Italy:
ROME, March %.
Frelinghuysen, Secretary, Washington:
American College exempted from propaganda sale
ASTOR.
The attention of President Arthur was called,
several weeks since, by Cardinal McCloskey and
other eminent Roman Catholic prelates in this
country to the proposed SALE by order of the Ital
ian government, of the propaganda property at
Ro4eo. including the American College The
propaganda property was levied upon by the
Italian government, under the laws of 1866
and 1873 The proceedings enjoined by
the lower court, but its decision was eventually
reversed by the Supreme Court of the kingdom
and the sale ordered. With view to saving
the American College, Cardinal McClosky and
other prelates of the Roman Catholic Church in
this country requested the intervention of the
United States government in its behalf. BY di-
rection of the President, the Secretary of State
addressed note to Mr.. Astor, United States
minister to Rome instructing him to lay the
facts in The case before the government and the
King of Italy and endeavor to obtain. if not a
perpetual abandonment of the impending SALE
such a stay of proceedings as would
enable the friends of the college in this coun-
try to determine whether any remedy
could be devised. Mr.. Astor was further in
formed that while the American College Is tech
nically held by the propaganda, it is virtually
American property; that it has been built up and
supported by money from this country, and it's
sale would sacrifice the interests exclusively of
Americans From Mr.. Astors telegram to the
Secretary of State, it appears the representa-
tions which the former was directed to make to
the Italian government have had the desired
effect, and the American College will be ex-
empted entirely from the impending sale of the
propaganda property.

They finally agreed that which

appearing, the Wind began to
blow furiously, a Blast as fierce
as a Dakota Blizzard, but the
harder the Wind blew the
tighter the Traveller hugged
his Coat about him. The Sun
then broke out, and shining
brighter and brighter, the

upon the Ground, exclaimed:

You say was friend to your country in a day of

two English nations and to teach people the
nature of the great issue which depended the
hict in which, twenty years ago your people were
gagged. lamented the conflict but wished England
should offer her sympathy on the side of
freedom to the slave and in favor of
perpetual union of your great republic.
When look back on the past look with unalloyed
connection with the contest which England and
the civilized world looked with profound interest
The question of peace to which you refer claims the
sympathy of all Christian nations your continent.
We may hope your growing millions may heneeforth
know nothing of war none assail you anG you are
anxious to abstain from milgng in quarrels of other
nations. Europe unhappily, is great camp. Its
nations armed each expected invasion from its
neghbor, conscious apparently, that great armies
tempt to war the moment any cause
of dispute arises, The potentates and gov
ernment of Europe, 1 doubt not, dread
They seek to guard themselves against it by arrange
ments. We, in England, not free from blame but
with us the love of peace is increasing, and gov
ernment can engage in war without risking and even
losing the support of people. We are involved
with territory and population half the globe that
difficulties almost constantly arising and dan
ger of war is greater than thar of other nations.
am however confident that feeling against is
sensibly increasing and trust and believe the moral
sense of our people will more and more condemn it,
England and your United States are two nations but

the growth of all that is good in the world greatly de-
pends. ao,
