Sympathy is power"
Charity of speech is as divine a thing as char

is as lovely as the hand that giveth aims. To
judgeno one harshly. to misconceive no mans
motives, to believe things are what they seem to
be until they are proved otherwise, to temper
judgment with mercy, surely is quite as good as
to build up churches, establish asylums and to
found colleges.

WHAT A PALLIUM is.
The Sacred Symbol of Office with Which
Archbishop Ryan Was Invested.
Philadelphia Press,

The Pallium, to see which so many people
were eager, is a white wooden band, circular in
shape and about three inches broad. Ii is don
ned by being thrown over the head, like a collar
without fastenings, but it hangs over the breast
and shoulders. Attached to the circulars a sin
gle band in front and a single band behind. On
each of the pendant bands are two black crosses
and the extremities of the bands are themselves
black. On the circular there are also two black
crosses, one on each shoulder. Formerly the
crosses were of a red purple color, but since the
time of Innocent III, they have been black. The
wool from which the Pallium is made is prepared
in a special manner. On the festival of St Ag-
mes the nuns of her monastery in the Nomentane
Way make an offering of two white lambs at the
altar during the singing of the Agnes Dell of the
mass. The lambs are then taken care of by two
canons of St John Lateran and fed until
wool is mixed with wool of Q sim
liar quality, and from the mixture the
Pallii are spun and woven. On the Vigil of st.
Peters and ST. Paul's Day the Pallii are taken
by the Canon Sacristan of the Basilica to the
Confession of the Blessed Peter. They are car
ried upon a golden dish. After vespers, the
! celebrant, who is either the Pontlff or a cardinal,
goes down to the Confession of st. Peter, attend
ed by certain ministers and guards, and solemnly
blesses the Pallii, which are placed before him
by one of the auditors of the Apostolic Palace.
When an archbishop dies the Pallium is
buried with him. If III is burned or lost, or if
the prelate is transferred to a new see, he must
apply TO announcer. 1t must only De worn Dy the
archbishop in a church of his diocese, and can
not be used when he goes in procession outside
the church. The days on which it may be
donned are the principal festivals of our Lord,
the Blessed Virgin and the Apostles, the natiyi-
ty Of st. John the Baptist and All Saints Day,
and also at the dedication of churches, ordina-
ton of c~lerics, conservation of bishops, on the
anniversary of the prelates conservation and the
principal feasts of his church. The first inves-
titure of the Pailiumin Philadelphia was on June
II 1874 in tho noco of thu Iafn a P0hh1Shnn
Wood. The See of Philadelphia was on that DAY
erected into an archdiocese.

WILKES bOOCn,S Last supper IN washington.

the smoke of his cigarette.
"When was thatg"
'"The day of the assassination Of President
Lincoln. I'll tell you something that never has
been printed. 1t was kept a secret at the time,
for obvious reasons. At the time of the shooting
it was said that Booth took his supper at Gan
tiers, but that was not true. Booth took
two meals a day at Welcker's, eating his
breakfast about IL o'clock, and his din
before the President was killed, Booth
told me that he wanted a supper for a party of
fifteen. He said they were coal operators from
Pennsylvania, with whom he had some business,
and whom he wanted to treat we'll. They had
the dinner in one of the private rooms. A few
days before that, as was going to the navy-yard
in a street car, a man stood up in front Of me
who attracted my attention because he was a
dirty, savage looking fellow. lie had red hair
and red peck marks on his face. Twas surprised
to see Booth bring that same man in as one of
the guests at the dinner of fifteen. / did not
think he looked much like a coal operator, and /
began to think Booths story was a little fshy.
There was one lady in the party. She

my attention to the matter was that she gener-
ally paid the bill for both, and l thought she
must be Booths wife or some relative. After
the shooting of the President ] found that the
woman was Mrs. Surratt, and the red-headed
man was Atzerot. On the day of the killing of
Lincoln. about a quarter after 6 o'clock, Booth
came into the restaurant, and, walking quickly
to'a table, he threw off the big furtrimmed
cloak which ne always wore in cold weather. 81

AIR. Kucki, the new japanese Minister, made
his appearance this morning in a uniform of
white trousers and a black coat, covered from
collar to waist line, and shoulder to shoulder
with the most elaborate embroidery. He is a
fne-looking and very distinguished man in ap-
pearance, and comes from one of the old PROV
inces of southern Japan. His wife is very
pheasant and agreeable in her manner, speaking
a little English, and generally accompanied by
one of the secretaries Of the legation to act as
interpreter when she makes calls. Nine. Kucki
is q diminntive, graceful little woman, with a
creamy yellow complexion, black eyes, with
half-closed lids, and masses of blue-black hair
wound at the back of her little head. Having
Owed for a long time at the court and capital Of
Japan, she is accustomed to Western or Eu-
ropean ways, and dresses with richness and
taste in conventional styles: She has her three
little children with her. and during the winter
will have as her guest at the legation Miss Vine

A Wonderful Child.

There is in the little quiet village of Muchalls,
about seven miles from Aberdeen, a child whose
extraordinary proportions have created the ut
most astonishment among all those who have
seen him. His size is so enormous that if he
continues to develop as at present he bids fair to
outstrip the celebrated Daniel Lambert himself.
This young leviathan is only six years old. yet
he turns the scales at the almost incredible
weight of FOG pounds. His height is four feet
five inches; circumference of bare chest fifty
inches, and circumference of thigh thirty eight
inches. Muchalls is proud of it's prodigy, and
he passes among the villagers by the name
of the Infant Jumbo" This giant in en-
bryo has excited great interest through
out the north Of Scotland, and to
a certain extent has made the village of Muchalls
famous for its Infant" 1t is a matter of fire.
quent occurrence to see numbers of tourists set
down at this out-of-the-way station for the ex-
press purpose of interviewing" him. Through
out the summer months he is to be seen in the
main street of his native village basking in the
sun and turning occasionally to play will his
little brothers and sisters, a veritable CULVER
among the Lilliputians. The father is a small
contractor, and, being in comfortable circum-
stances, has hitherto turned a deaf ear to the
tempting offers of showmen, but we understand
that Mr.. Reynolds has at last been successful in
inducing him to allow of The Infants" appear

Trial by Jury.

We are all interested in equities, and can,
therefore, take some satisfactionin looking prac-
tically--for this is not a law note-at a decision
recently rendered by Lord Chief Justice Cole
ridge in England. A Newfoundland dog, while
playing, jumped over a wall, and alighted on the
bent back of a workman digging a trench. The
workman was injured so much that he was for
some time incapacitated for labor. The owner
of the dog offered the poor man money, but the
latter sued for damages, and it looked badly for
the owner of the dog, partly because he had Of
fered compensation. The Chief-justice found
another side. He once heard John P. Hale say:
"Horses have the right to trial by jury" Lord
Coleridge clothed the dog with the immunities
which shelter a man who unintentionally inf1icts
an injury. 1t is only a malicious dog whose mas
ter must pay damages for the mischief he does.
A good dog has the benefit of his reputation,
and. in the case before the court, was no more
guilty than a man would have been who had ac-
cidentally fallen over a wall with the same I'M
fortunate results. We hope, however, that the
owner of the dog paid the poor workman a reas-
enable sum of money.

Pretty Rhea's Way.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San FranClsCO ChrOnlCIe.
L suppose some people remember Mile. Rhea,
who played Shakespeare in broken English at
the Baldwin some time last year. She was a
very charming but ELUSIVE woman, and dis.
played elaborate, not to say tender, affection in
her treatment of her company and the employees.
She would go up to a ballet girl and embrace her
while giving her instructions in stage business,
If she wanted anything done by the property
man she would throw her fair arms around his
neck and almost weep over him. One night she
wanted a picture changed, and she hung upon
the property mans neck and begged very pref
tily. Unfortunately, the property mans wife
was looking on and it was very embarrassing for
him. 1t was not less embarrassing when she
had a chance to talk to him. Next night the
picture fell down on the actress and hurt her
rather severely. They could never tell whether
or not the property mans wife knew the picture
was loose, but she declared most emphatically
that it was a judgment from heaven.

Mrs. Frank Leslie and Her Marquis.

Correspondence Boston Beacon.
Mrs. Leslie doesn't like to have people make
fun of the Marquis and gossip about her prospec-
tive marriage to him. l saw her in her Office in
in the Frank Leslie publishing house not long
ago.
How people and newspapers will talk she
said. Here they say that | have been privately
married to the Marquis. | shall marry the Mar
quis when 1 choose to, and not before. Isn't it
every woman's privilege to say when she will be
married to the man to whom she is engagedg I
don't intend to be married before 1 am entirely
ready to be. Then they make all manner of fun
of the Marquis's personal peculiarities. He isn't
a bit different from other men. They call him
foppish, but he never wears anything but black.
Then the papers talk about how extravagantly |
live; about my horses, and fine dresses and that.
Hasn't a woman a right to keep a horse and car
riage? You don't call this an extravaganza dress,
do your land Mrs. Leslie looked down depreca-
tingly at her handsome costume of silk and

A Manly or Mannish Boy.
Atlanta Constitution.

All the world delights in a manly boy, but all
the world must despise a mannish bow. We can
forgive the manly boy many things-we can for
give his mischieyousness and overlook his bois-
terousnes, because we know that these things
are the natural accomplishments of a healthy
mind and body. But it is a hard matter to for
give the boy with the stand-up collar for exist
ing, and should he in an evil hour attempt to be
playful, we have no doubt there are philanthro-
pists to be found who would brain him on the
spot.
The socalled culture and refinement which
breeds the @sthetically dressed boy cannot be
too quickly reformed. We want our boys to de-
velop into men and not into society apes.

MI. and Mrs. George Bancroft.

carp L cleveland Leader
Among the guests present I saw George Ban
croft moving about as lively as any man in the
house. AT eighty-five years of age he is we'll and
strong. He takes long walks every day and gets
up to his literary work by candle-light. His bed
room is in one of the rooms OF his library, and
shelves, with two rows of books, line it's walls.
These books are in all languages, for the great
historian reads the German and French as easily
as the English, and his body-servant and valet is
a German who seldom speaks English. The bed
in which Bancroft sleeps is a plain affair, neither
very soft nor elegant, and it does not look as
though it would bring more than S. under the
hammer. His wife was with him at the White
House. Mrs. Bancraft is a fne-looking, white
haired old lady, noted for her accomplishments
and refinement. She is an adept in embroidery,
and her house is filled with the beautiful work
of her own hands. Not long ago she embroid-
cred a chair seat, and had it put in an old chair
frame which had long been in the family, as a
present for her husband, and she can do any
thing in the needle line, from a fancy tidy to the
embroidery of the richest piano cover.
