The FIRST CoLoRED PRIFsT.-
About eight hundred people crowded
into the cosey little Roman Catholic
Church of st. Mary's on Willow ave-
nue., Hoboksn, shortly after o'clock
on the 24th ult., says the New York
Herald, to see the Rev. Augustine
Tolkon, the first colorel priest ever
ordained from the Western continent.
celebrate his first mass in the United
States. He was invited 10 say mass
by the pastor, Rev. Father Corrigan.
At half-past Z o'clock the newly or
dained priest, with two young alcoly-
ties, stepped to the alter. The con-
gregation expected that at the last
gospel he would preach a short ser
mon, but they Were disappointed.
Alter mass he went into the parochial
residence. where he breakfasted with
the pastor and his curate. Rev. Faith
er Tolkon was born in Missouri Sc
years ago. aud up to the time of the
war was, like his parents, slave in
a large cotton shipping emporium Of
that State. After the war he studied
in college in Missouri until 1865,
when he was sent to Rome to finish
his studies for the priesthood. Here
he studied diligently, and at last was
ordained by Cardinal Parrocchi.

HEB CURIOSITY WAS SAIIsFIED.-
We suppose every body who lives in =
CITY has soEnslines wondered what
those cufioasly-painted images are
made Of that stand by certain shop
doors with a bunch Of cigars in one
hand, while they invite the customer
to enter with the other. Some of
them are as hideoGs as they are disgust
ing, and we often wonder why such
leering, vulgar images are used to at
tract customers.
Sister Brown was one of the prim-
NEST and most correct maiden ladies,
but she was very curious end prone to
crafty her inquiring mind to the ut
most, and that was why We are all glad
when she met with the following con-
ire temps:
She was going home from an even
ing lecture rather late at night for a
single lady to be upon the street alone,
when it occurred to her that it would
be a favorable opportunity for her TO
examine the new Indian image that
had been set up on the street, and
which has puzzled her a good deal.
She had often asked of what it was
made, but had received no satisfacto-
ry answer; and had determined, when
an opportunity did present itself, ia
examine the curious figure.
The opportune moment had arriv-
ed. Sister Brown looked in every di-
rection, and feeling certain she was
not observed, advanced towards what

The unexpected often happens to
the scientist as well as the practical
man, a. must have been the case with
Crooks, when he invented the Radio
motor. The story goes that he first
invented the thing and then made it.
But it turned out as tradition says the
ship did, when some genius blew into
the sails with bellows, it vent the
other way. We laugh at the stupidi-
ty OF the man with the bellows; the
next generation may laugh at Crooks.
venture the guess that there is
many q man of science who knowing
nothing of the rolling of railroad
rails if asked to dictate as TO which
way the rail should be bent, to have
it come straight when cold, would
End that the unexpected would be
likely to have happened twice when
he saw his plan in practice.
The case is reported to me where the
unexpected happened to two boilers,
and they did not blow up either.
Two boilers alike in size and shape
were connected by necks of consider
able area, both at the top and bottom,
and the connections. both steam and
water, were without check valves.
A fire was bnilt under each of the
boilers, which were both half fall OF
water, aud when steam was raised TO
working pressure the generators began
to play shuttlecock with the water.
It first went all into one boiler, and
then all into the other. When the
play got to its height, the boss. con-
sidering the premises and the lives OF
the men Of more consequence than the
cause of science, ordered the fires
drawn, and the cause or consequences
was never settled.
In the case Of an engine which
was more than twice too large for the
work it had to do, and which could
not be reduced to one-half the speed
conveniently, it was decided to push
the cylinder to about half its area,
with a view, Of course, to the saving
of coal. The result was that it took a
little more coal than before. | think
that this result was one which would
have been unexpected to most men
who did not know OF the experiment
having been tried before.
For casting chilled die to be used
under drop hammar, old chilled car
wheels We're used, and in which four
teen per cent. Of sriegeleisen was melt
ell under the expectation that a good
chill would be produced, as had been
our experience. The first surprise
was TO find that the die showed no
evidence OF chill whatever, and could
be filed easily. Some pieces of work
were required at once, and the die
was put in with the expectation that it
would only serve for few days, but the
second surprise came when its endui-
ancs proved to exceed the best of the
chilled dies as two to one.
1t is an old and common custom to
use the statement that "two and two
are four" as an example OF the GER
tainty Of certainties. and another, that
like causes produce like effects"
while as a simple matter ofstatement,
the first can be easily shown to be

A Remarkable Operation.

There Is silver In the flesh Of Robert
McGill. A little wire of that metal
inserted and hidden under the skin of
his leg enables him to walk the streets
with an injury that has invariably made
cripple for life of other victims.
That was accomplished through one of
the most remarkable operations in the
history of surgical skill. 1t has just
been successfully completed at the
Homeopathic hospital. 1t is without
parallel in the medical records and goes
to prove that fractured knee joints may
not be followed by absolute stiffness.
Robert McGill, the patient on whom
the operation has been performed, Is q
colored man. Some time since wle.,
in the employ of j. j. House, of this
city, he was walking up some steps at
the entrance of the Freehold bank. He
slipped, falling OIL one of the steps
with both knees. He was taken to the
Homeopathic hospital, where it was
found that a portion of his right knee
cap was fractured and the tendon of
his left knee broken. The surgeons
ut the hospital resolved upon new de-
parture of treating such cases so as to
prevent the usual stiff joints. An in
cison about two inches square was
made just above each knee. The ends
of the tendons were gathered and fas-
tened to curved silver wire, which
was inserted. Straps were attached to
the ends of the wire and bound round
the soles of the patients feet. His
legs were kept absolutely stiff and this
kept the tendons and knee-joints at
rest. The ends of the tendons were
also brought in contact with each
other.
1t was an experiment, and all the
physicians in the hospital took extreme
interest in the development Of the case
in consequence. 1t was discovered,
however, that the venture was going
to be successful. The tendons soon
connected around the wire and the
fractures healed up strongly. So much
did the injuries improve that after
few weeks McGll was able to use his
legs with great freedom. The joints
and tendons continued to get stronger
and few days ago McGill considered
himself strong enough to leave the
hospital and resume work rs team
driver. His knees are not stiff and
the physicians are confident that in II
short time he will be able to walk with
almost as much liberty rs he ever did.
When leaving the hospital one of the
surgeons presented McGill with cane
to assist him in walking. On Saturday
he met the surgeon and said: God
bless you, doctor. l don't need the
cane now, but when / die mean to
have it placed in my coffin beside my
body. Httstugh (Pa.) Commercial

Thirteen Great Mistakes.


To yield to immaterial trilcs.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To endeayor to mold all dispositions
alike.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
TO measure the enjoyment of others
by our own.
TO expect to be able TO understand
everything.
To belve only what our finite minds
can grasp.
To look for Judgment and expert
ence in youth.
Not to make allowances for the in
lirmities of others.
To worry ourselves and others with
what can not be remedied.
TO consider everything impossible
that we can not perform.
Not to alleviate all that needs allevi-
alton as far as lies in our power.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Wherever poker gets a hold it ciings
with tenacity, and it is often found
impossible to dislodge it from u club;
principally for the reason that by the
time it has reached it's most danger
Gus excesses the club has been aban-
doned to the control OF the poker ele-
ment. There is an instance locally OF
a club oflarge membership, very COM
fortably equipped as an institution
for social and literary profit, and for
a long time q club OF Importance and
influence, which is Just now combating
this monster that has all but stran.
gled it. But instead Of debating per-
emptoriiy to the poker players, the
majority of the members find them
selves in the anomalous situation oi
being compelled to accept terms from
the poker coterie, and the amendment
to abolish poker is so uniquely and
improperly interviewer with an ar.
rangement to increase the dues that

very favorable to the defeat OF the

Chicago Mans Joke.

There IS very prominent Chicago
business man who always wears n
very demure expression OF counten-
ance, although he is fond of q Joke.
One day he walked into Barnes hat
store and soberly inquired whether
the house made discounts to pastors.
Mr.. Barnes himself was on hand to as
sure him that they did, and would al
low him the usual 20 per cent. off.
The solemn man then said he would
like a becoming hat. Several were
shown him, and after a good deal OF
thought and inquiry he finally selected
one marked $5, which Mr.. Barnes said
he would sell him for 81. The solemn
man put it on and contemplated him
self for some time in the mirror. Was
the hat becoming to a man in his pro-
fession? Mr.. Barnes was confident it
was. Would his congregation be like
ly to take any exceptions to it2 Mr..
Barnes was confident they could not.
Then the solemn man looked at HIM
self some more, and, after making an
other inquiry as to whether it would
be sure to please his congregation, pro-
duced his S4. Then he started out.
At the door he paused and inquired
again: Frhey can't find any fault
with it, can they?" "NIost certainly
not" SAID Mr.. Barnes, confidently.
Because if they do" said the solemn
man, as his hand was upon the door
latch, "they can go to hi"
