Rev. Father Slocum breaches on
ssCharity.''
Rev. Father Slocum, of Norwalk, preached
last night at St. Patrick's church, where he
was formerly assistant pastor, to a large con-
gregation on the subject of 'sCharity." 1t
was vigorous and telling discourse. The
speaker said:
The very foundation of the Catholic
church is ''Charity" The church believes
that as Christ gave up his life out of charity
for his fellow men SO men should follow his
example and be charitable. One great thing
that Christ impressed on his apostles was
charity. And 80 when the Catholic church
spread! over the world it's corner stone was
charity.
The church knew that to have charity it
| must make sacrifices, SO we have the Catholic
orders of to-day who go amidst all kinds of
poverty and suffering to help the poor and
sick So the church has its ministers to
| work for nothing but charity, and if they
fall amid the pestilence or in any other way
they have no family to mourn or suffer for
their loss. The Catholic orders have one of
the most perfect forms of government in the
world. They are sworn to obedience, and
with member of Catholic order it is not

At the meeting of the Woman's Branch of
City Missions on Saturday afternoon, the
| names of about twenty members were re-
ported as already given. It was decided that
| the present joint committee of six ladies
should act as temporary executive commit
tee, with power to at once secure the services
of lady missionary to begin work in behalf
of this as a department of the work of the
New Haven board of city missions, which has
already accepted it as such. Word was re-
ceived of promised donation from wealthy
lady of this city, and any who wish to make
gifts to this department Of mission work in
our own city send them to No. % Church
street at any time. Rev. Mr.. Mossman is
at his Office at the mission rooms daily from

who may call in regard to this and other en-
largements of the work of the board. The

dark object was found and both char

they found what they supposed was

shot and three buck-shot had pierre.

Nothing could he done for the poor
fellow, and after lingering q few
hours in an apparently unconscious
state, he died. 1t seems that Rains,
who had been shocking corn for
Huffman daring the early part of the
day, had procured a quantity OF
boiled cider, and had become very
much intoxicated. In this condition
it is supposed, he finally wandered
into the fence corner, inviting the
dreadful mistake which cost him his
life. The deceased was an uumar.

men were arrested, charged with
murder, but the evidence not sustain

Modest Mrs. Grant.

Mrs. Grant has seen her husband General of
the army She has seen him occupy the White
House as the President of the Nation for two
terms She has lived with him in more than
one palace presented to him by his admiring
friends. She made the famous tour around the
world with him, and saw kings, queens, soldiers
and statesmen receiving him with royal honors
But none of these splendors dazzled the practi-
cal little woman who married plain Captain
Grant at time when the future did not appear
very bright for either of Them Looking back
over a lifetime of remarkable vicissitudes Mrs
Grant says that her happiest days were when
she and her husband were living in modest cot
tage in Galena $40 per month. After all,
wealth, power and the worlds applause do not
bring happiness. They are not to be compared
to love and contentment in a log cabin.

A noticeable parsonage among those to be met

the war have vested him with peculiar interest
Early in 1862 ne, then young man, enlisted at

of the last battles fought before the final sur
render, while leading charge, the young
captain was struck in the head by a ball. and
fell. His soldiers. with whom he was a great
favorite, carried him to the rear, where he had
every attention Then he was conveyed to
Washington and placed in one of the hospitals,
and, after long period of suffering, his wound
healed, but his reason had fed. He was official
ly declared insane, and placed in an asylum near
Washington, where he renamed twenty years in
this condition. A few months ago his reason re-
turned, and he is to-day as sane man as lives.
He says the past is a blank. He can scarcely
comprehend that he is not the same young man
that he was twenty years ago. He has found
some of his comrades here, and these have
treated him with great kindness He can de-
