BISHOP KEANE's TROUBLES.

Richmond. Va, Special.
Bishop Keaue, of this city, has not vet seen
the last OF the troubles arising ont OF the de-
parture made from Catholic Church customs, in
allowing ex-Presdent Tylers daughter TO be
married to Protestant in the church. few
days ago young Catholic girl who works in a
cigarette factory, applied to the Bishop to make
a similar departure in her case, He refused.
She and her friends got angry accused the pre-
late OF toadysm, and threatened to bring the
matter before the courts Within month after
Miss Tyler's marriage he had three cases to deal
with. One of these excited very gen
eral interest on account of the prominence
OF the young lady She belonged to the
oldest family in the Cathedral parish Her be-
trothed was young man we'll known in society.
and was member of the First Baptist Church
Application was made to the Bishop to marry
them in tho church He refused, and at once
there was a hubbub Of excitement since 1t WAS
well known that the young lady's friends would
not let the matter drop with refusal The
Bishop explained pull lcly that the church could
not sanction mixed marriages with a ceremonial
at the altar, and that the only exception to the
rule he had ever made was in the case of Miss
Tyler. This was allowable, he said, because the
church had in all ages granted certain privileges
to rulers and their families. He then cited in
stances to show that he had followed the Law of
the church regarding the marriage ceremonial,
and that the case of Miss Tyler was an entirely
exceptional one Nobody seemed to be satisfied
with the explanation. Still the young lady and
her friends yielded rather than cause a public
scandal by going into legal war with their
bishop.

New York Evening Post.
1t is estimated by experts that the average
price of drugs has fallen. within the last three
years, fully one third In some special instances
the cause for the decline is apparent; in others,
authorities differ In the case of quinne free
traders, will. of course, attribute to the change
in the tariff law which put it on the free list, the
reduction from So an ounce in 1880 to 81 cents at
present But in opium the course of prices has
been similar, the ruling quotation of 1880 being
S. Is pound. against $l.75 to day. In the case
of quinine the supply has been vastly increased
of late years by the cultivation of the cinchona
tree in Ceylon and Java, and the production of a
richer bark bark yielding per cent. was
formerly considered merchantable, whereas the
present average yield Is more than double that.
The production has doubled while the demand
has remained the same. The present price re-
turns so poor Il profit to the growers of the bark
that many plantations have been destroyed dur
ing the last year to make way for tea or other
culture. Opium varies in price according to the
stringancy of laws against its importation or use
in various countries, the American market being
at present so overstocked that lot was recently
sold at less than ST. rs pound, which cost 81 NOT
more than year ago.

Cleveland. He has no confdants in his Cabinet

convictions and is willing to assume all the re-

q prince Mr. Labouchere was often threatened
by the official Liberals that his independence
should be punished by his caucus; but he always
snapped his fingers in the face of official liberal
ism, and said that he was far safer than his CEN
sors. The late election proved how true was his
estimate; for his majority was double that of his
colleague Bradlaugh, who had trimmed to get
the orthodox Liberal vote.
Mr. Labouchere's political creed is that which

he thinks the mere question OF republic versus
monarchy of little Importance in England. He
would let down the monarchy gently by lower
ing the royal stipend and by refusing all grants
and dowries. He is, of course. for the abolition
of the House of Lords and for government
through a single chamber. He is for home rule

Kentucky the Place for Horses.

There is something strange about the
success of Kentucky as race breeder. 1t
is, of course, recognized and accounted for
thing that is not exactly explainable
by everybody, but after all there is some
about it. The bluegrass and the lime
stone come in justly for great deal of
credit in their effect in hardening the
muscles and flesh, but there is something
outside of and beyond that. Take Miss
Woodford, for example. She was taken
there and came out wonderfully changed
and improved, being an entirely differ
ent mare from what she was when sent
there, being in better condition every
way and still weighing $50 to 200 pounds
less. Then Kentucky horses never have
bad feet. That is marked character
istic and one which is not easily &C
counted for, but nevertheless remains pc
culiar to the state.-Col. Jack Shinn i'm

This Earth a Big Mapnet.

The meteorites that fall upon the earth
are composed chiefly of iron. Signor
Bombicci suggests an explanation of this.
The earth is big magnet, as shown by
the proceedings of a bar of steel freely
suspended and accurately balanced on
its center. Bombicci's idea is that this
big terrestrial magnet, when rushing
through space containing meteoric par
ticles, exerts a selective attraction for
those which are ferruginous. The fact
that so many masses of meteoric iron
have been found in the Attic regions, so
far as it goes, supports this theory

Sounds Made by the Aurora.

In March, 1885, Sophus Tromholt dis
patched some thousand circulars to all
parts of Norway containing different
queries regarding the aurora, and among
them also the following: "Have you or
your acquaintance ever heard any sound
during aurora, and, in this case, when
and in what manner" Up to Sept. Is.
he had received answers to these queries
from l4+ persons. OF these, not less than
D., or "a per cent, believe in the exist
snce of the aurora sound, and SO (36 per
cent? state that they have heard it them
selves, while the other 80 cite testimonials
from other people; only 81 Q5 per cent. }
declare that they have never heard the
sound and know nothing about it, and
the other 81 (22 per cent? have not
noticed the query at all. There are thus
% atfirmations against 81 negalons.
The sound is variously described in
these answers as sizzling, creaking, whiz-
ling, rustling, cracking, kissing, whisper
ing, rushing, buzzing, ripping, roaring,
din, breezy, whipping. tanning, clashing,
tapping, sweeping, etc.-Nature.

Rare Relic of the Confederacy.

A gray coat has been hung in case al
the National museum near the collection
of relics of the Confederacy. This coat
was a Confederate officers coat, and
though such garments were worn by
thousands of men less than twenty five
years ago, they are regarded as rare
curiosities.
The cloth, which is gray, is not of very
ine texture. 1t is frock coat. with
cuffs and military collar faced with blue.
The sleeves are embroidered with gold
braid. There is no shoulder-straps, but
instead three bars on the collar indicate
the rank of the wearer. The buttons
are similar to United States buttons, ex-
cept there is no lettering upon them.
They have embossed upon them the
American spread eagle, with the Union
shield upon its breast. and surrounded
by galaxy of stars. Mr.. Howard Clark,
who has charge of the historical collec-
ton, expects soon to obtain possession of
coat of an engineer officer in the Con-
federate service.

One day at service in Westminster alb

that the voice Of boy chorister pene-
trated greater distance than the tones
of the organ itself, and he fell to won
dering why this should be; how 1t was
that the slender human mechanism
should possess greater carrying power
than the massive pipes of the great Or
gan.
On this hint he set to work to devise
an instrument that should be similar in
construction to to the vox humane, and
of series of experiments the new in
strument, the vocation, is the result. Its
arrangement follows closely that of the
human throat. And its tones are said to
emulate those of the voice. A trial in
strument was shown in Music hall few
months ago, and Mr.. Lang and other
musical judges gave it a high approval.
1t is said that vocation of far greater
power than the largest organs can be Sc
