first offered to the public.
There is not household in which this
Invaluable remedy has once been. In
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not q person
who has ever given 1t o proper trial

tible Of cure, who has not been made
well by it,
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
In numberless instan ces, cured obstinate
cases of chronic BroI, hits, Laryngitiss

HANNIBAL HAMLIN, the venerable
Statesman of Maine, says no man was
ever great whose mother was not
great, and also says he very much
fears that the course of some ladies in
seeking to be conspicuous in public
and political affairs has tendency to
impair the influence of women for
good and thereby harm the influence of
public men. MIR. Hamlin was moved
to this remark on reading description
of the cradle in which Mrs. Wash

A CURIOUS case has arisen in Illinois.
In an interior town an unmarried
woman between the ages of 1S and 21
was appointed postmaster. Immedi-
ately the point was raised that the ap-
pointed could not give competent
bond. Under the Illinois law, at Is a
woman has attained her majority, but
under the common not until 21, and
the common law controls where federal
appointments are concerned. The
Post Office department has held in this
case that the appointee is eligible on
the ground that under the common
law the sureties of minor are pecuni.
arily responsible. How elastic the
laws seem to be, as this instance illus.

He died SO peacefully and fearlessly that
those who watched scarcely knew the great
change had come until DR.. Keyes signified
that all was over and that the cardinal was
dead. n
Noman Of the present century has fig
ured more conspicuously and yet modestly
in the history of the Catholic church than
Cardinal John McCloskey. He was born in
Brooklyn, n. Y, March 10, 1910.
On Jan. l, 1884, he was ordained priest
in st. Patrick's cathedral, New York. At
ter his ordination he was sent to Rome,
studied two oyyears in Roman college
spent anotier in France, and on his return
was appetite assistant priest of st. Jo-
seph chu,c in New York, and six months
AFTER became priest Of the parish. In 1S41
Bishop Hughes nominated him first presi-
dent Of st. Johns college, Fordham, but in
1912 he resumed charge of st. Joseph. At
the solicitation of Bishop Hughes he was
appointed his coadjutor Nov. 21, 1843, with
the title of Bishop Auxerre, and was conse-
Grated March 10, 1S49. In
THE D1v1sl ON OF THE DIOCESE
of New York which took place in 1S47,
Bishop McCloskey was nominated first
Bishop of Albany, May 20. His zeal,
eloquence and popularity obtained him
the means of building churches in every
city and town, and of creating many insti-
tutions of charity and education.
After the death of Archbishop Hughes, he
was appointed to the see of New York,
May 6, 1864, and took possession of it Aug.
81. On March Is, 1875, Archbishop McClos-
key was made cardinal of the order of
priests, he being the first American cardi-
nal ever appointed. On the death of the
pope in February, 1878, he was summoned
to Rome to attend the conclave Of cardi-
mails for the election of successor of Pious
TX. By the death. of the cardinal Arch
bishop DR.. Corrigan, the coadjutor arch
bishop, becomes archbishop, but not card
inal, and there remains no American
cardinal.

minutes before one O'Clock ON the morning
of the 10th inst. The weakness that precedes

afternoon. At 8 O'Clock it was evident
that he was failing quite rapidly, and soon
after O'Clock he sank into inconsistencies
and so continued through the evening
About midnight lights began flashing from
various rooms in the cardinals house and
to the group outside there came the
consciousness that the unusual activity
inside was indicative of the approach of
the closing scenes. At 2:0 q nervous
twitching of the muscles Of the dying mans
face was observed and the household
drew nearer. The doctor bent by the bed
side and constantly felt the rapidly
hickering pulse. The reverend monsignors
prayed fervently and repeated invocations
for the dying. Half past twelve and the
scene was one simply of waiting. On one

The Time to Go South.

Undoubtedly March and April are the
pleasantest months of the year to visit
New Orleans. They are the months of
roses. Of mocking birds, and of every
thing beautiful and delightful in the far
South. During these two months only
light clothing, such as would be worn in
the North in Sunmer. will be required,
but Spring Overeoats and wraps will be
needed for the evenings, and occasional
ly in the day time when the wind is
from the North. During December, Jan
uary and February, New Orleans wealth
er is very variable. There is, of coarst,
no snow; but there is much rain and
dan Pness, mingled with an equal pro-
portion of sunshine and warmth. Occa-
sionally "Northers" send the mercury
down to the forties, and even in the thir-
ties; and flannel underclOthing should
invariably be worn during these months.
New Orleans is by no means tropical
city, nor are its houses so we'll adapted
to withstand cold and damp as those of
more Northern latitudes; consequently
it is easy TO contract colds, with their
attendant evils, there as elsewhere, and
too much care in avoiding them cannot
be exercised.
Those who visit the city during De-
cember will be in time to drive out to
some of the surrounding plantations and
witness the operations of cane-grindihg
and sHgar-making. The cotton will be
all picked, but the massive congresses
in which the heecy staple is squeezed
into the thinnest possible bales for ship
ment will prove we'll worth visiting.
January is apt to be rainy and wiSdy
month. February is the same. though
with many mitigstions; and, as this is.
carnival month, it will offer attractions
that succeeding months, with their de-
lightful weather, do not possess. SporUE
men will find capital bird and duck shoSs-
lag and good fishing within short DIS
tances Of the city, and variety of shirt
excursions can be taken with pleasure
and prefit by steamboat or rail in every
direction. March is the month of orange
blossoms. and about the middle of the
month they may be seen in all their
Bazaar.

The Old Year and the New.

Fleetly is the Old Year passing,
With its joys and hopes and fears,
And cen thus till life is ended
1t will be with the coming years.
Like the soft and silent snow-hakes,
Fell each bright-gemmed hour that's
past,
Or like thistle-down swift speeding
On the autumn's rapid blast.
At each moment as it vanished
There has passed q soul away;
And has come the newborn ipfant
To behold the light of day.
Words and deeds through all the Old
Year
Have, like seeds, been thickly sown;
In the New Year they'll yield their har-
vest, t...
And will by their fruits be known.
But the New, what holds it hiddenP
Shall its leaves to Us unfold
Pain or pleasure, rest or labor.
Bane or blessing yet untoldp
All, new work twill bri8g each toiler
Mid the worlds uneasy throng,
Where brave hearts are nobly battling
That the right may end the wrong.
Then shine out. o Light from Heavsni
And make glad our earthly way,
Danish mist and darkening shadows,
Show our feet how far they stray.
Be to US noontide glory
When deaths somber twilight nears,
And the dial marks the closing
OF our swift and chequered years.

~OLD ROSEY'S STORY"
Of Fort Sumter's Capture by Single
Union Soldier.

Gen: Roseeranz, N"Old Rosey," is as
hale aud hearty now at 65 as he was
twenty years ago. He has the same
fOudness for general conversation, and
continues to look on the bright side of
everything. The other day, he remained
in his room at the Gibson house to re-
ceive callers, and they were many. Old
soldiers recalled military "reminiscences,
asking him if be remembered the battle
Of Goose creek, and if he would ever
forget the assault on Stone hill. or other
previously Hnheard-of places.
1t was while talking in the latter
strain that the General gave story of a
single soldier capturing fort Sumter, or
at least piece of it. The battered old
fort was in possession of the Confeder-
ates, and one night Union soldier of
the force that was holding Morris ISL
and said he believed he would take a
skif and pull over to Sumter, get brick

was in condition to do anything. Ta>

out, and was lost in the darkness. 1t

"Whst do you want?"
"Want one o. them bricks"
you got one in your hat now"
"YOH bet have, but 1 want another" !"
"All right; come ashore and get one"
He landed, walked up short dis

the first brick he found. and started back
in qniek order for the boat.

THAT man." continued the General,
with quiet twinkle in his eyes, "that
man. if he is alive to-day, and has the
brisk imagination of some men l know,
is telling his children how he arrived at
Fort Sumter one stormy night, and in a
terrific single-hsnded combat with forty

fortieth away badly wounded" d."-Cincin>
