PATS CONVERTS.
How He Won Them for the Church by
the Toss of Coin.

N. o. Times Democrat
Some people who are not acquainted
with priests have an idea that they are
solemn, stern men who can't appreciate a
joke and never think of telling one. Yes
terday 1t was the good fortune of re-
porter for this paper to meet priest who
is frequently called to the Charity Hos
pital, and who has accomplished much
good in reforming the unfortunate people
so often found in that institution. During
the conversation the reverend father told
numerous amusing anecdotes of his per-
sonal experiences, and wound up very
pleasing evening by telling funny story
about a priest in Ireland who was
laboring to get number of convicts
to join the Catholic Church. 1t seems
that seven men were sentenced to be
transported, and among them was an
Irishman convicted Of counterfeiting.
According to the custom of the country
the convicts were allowed to choose any
religion they desired to adopt, and the
Irisbman made up his mind that they
should all become Catholics. Accord

yard the subject of religion was brought
up by the Irishman, who said: Boys, we
have all been bad together, we have made
lots of money and spent it, and now since
we have all to join the church there is no
reason why we should be separated. l
now propose that we toss ha'penny and
shape our course on the result. If a harp

queen shows up we will be Protestants."

tossed the ha'penny and the harp won.
Accordingly they all became Catholics;
and just before their departure the parish
priest approached Pat and asked how he
managed to convert his fellow convicts.

told the story of the ha'penny.
"Did you risk your immortal soul on the

II Should be GenornllK Known

that the multitude of diseases of a scrofu-
lous nature generally proceed from a tor
bid condition of the liver. The blood be-
comes impure because the liver does not
act properly and work off the poison from
the system, and the certain results are
blotches, pimples eruptions, swelllngs,
tumors, ulcers and kindred affections, or
settling upon the lungs and poisoning their
delicate tissues, until liberation, breaking
down, and consumption is established. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will,
by acting upon the liver and purifying the
blood, cure all these diseases.

The organization Of the colored Ia
borers into Knights Of Labor is caus-
ing intense excitement In South Caro-
lima. The result Of such organization
cannot but prove disastrous to those
who have made merchandise OF the ig-
norance Of the colored people Of that
state. for purposes OF political aud COM
mercial gain. A new departure is
being taken by the great mass Of Amer
lean labor, In asserting Its rights as la
Dor and In providing for it's own defense
before the great court OF public opinion.
In this universal elevation the colored
lsborer is destined to feel the beneficial
effects Of the movement now begun, and
no hostility to its progress can prevent
its accomplishment. The calling upon
the militia OF those states to prevent the
spread Of such organizations, under the
plea that their ultimate design is insur-
rection airy. will not avail. The right Of
free speech, free action and free organi-
zstiOn for purposes Of self protection
and improvement cannot be denied the
colored people Of any state In this union.

better condition OF cit izenship.
