A Trihe Mixed.
Nelo York Tribune.

A well-knOwn clergyman tells of a
very amusing wedding which he SOL
emnized. The groom was extremely
anxious that everything "should go off
without a hitch" and with that end in
view borrowed Prayer Book, in or
der to learn the marriage service by
heart. But he was not familiar with
the geography" of the Prayer Book
and by mistake got hold of the baptis-
NAL service, the answers to which he
faithfully committed to memory. "The
wedding day arrived" says the clergy
man $50 did the nervous groom with
his bride, and as they walked up the
church aisle, keeping step to the grand
old strains of Memberships wedding
march, had premonition of trouble.
The ceremony began"
John, will you have this woman
to be your welded wife, to live after
Gods holy ordinance, to love and to
cherish in sickness or in health
al renounce them ALL answered
John
".You're a fool said to him under
my breath.
"'All this | steadfastly believe,
came the answer and ditto sound Of
suppressed laughter from the audience.
There was hurried conversation be-
tween John and me, and then repeat
ed the question, likewise the answer t.
it, and TO all succeeding ones"

Waiting to be Led.

Most persons would rather follow
than lead. Only now and then does a
man or a woman possess sufficient
character to be ready to act on his or
her impulses, apart from the prefer
ences and practices of others. This
truth stands out in the sway of fashion
in matters of dress and of diet, and of
minor points of etiquette. 1t shows it
self in the hold of the vacation habit,
and in the popularity of particular
places of summer or of winter resort.
1t even manifests itself in so simple a
matter as the rising in church to bear
a part in congregational singing. Peo-
pie look at each other to see who will
rise first and in some cases this goes
so far that the choir has actually begun
its singing before any one member OF
the congregation has found courage to
lead off in taking his position as a
wOrshipper, whether others will be with
him or not. AS rule, the young and
the old want to do what all the Others
do, and their lives are shaped by fash
ion and custom. This it is that makes
1t so hard to rise above the moral sen
timent of ones Immediate circle IN
life; and this it is, also, that gives
such value to the example of one who
dares to do what he knows to be best
whether others agree with him or not
he who Is able to lead is sure to have
followers. he who wants to be led
may have to waver in doubt for a time
and then be led in the wrong direction

The New England Potato Crop.

There will be fair average crop OF
potatoes in New England, according to
the New England Homestead, a yield
below the average in New York state,
and not full crop at the West. Rot
is doing much damage to the late crop
in the East. Prices range from 30 to
60 cents bushel to the farmers, who
have been quite free sellers, but arc
now inclined to hold for better prices.
A considerable increase in acreage is
reported in the Provinces, especially
Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Is
land, where the yield per acre is ex-
cellent. There has been no cessation
in the ravages of bugs, but scab is less
common than of late years. The crop
in Great Britain and Europe, from
whence we received during the last
eight months over 3,OOO,O 900 bushels of
potatoes, is very short. The Home
stead thinks gradual advance to rs
cents per bushel at Boston and New
York probable, but this is hardly
enough to warrant holding the bulk of
the crop. 1t advises selling steadily
in small lots so as to move the crop
without Cutting the market.

A Strange Tunnel Accident.
Springfield Republican.

Nervous travellers who try to imag
inc the roof of railway tunnel falling
in on them will be interested in the ex
periences of passengers in the West
Point tunnel last week. The train had
been delayed by one serious accident,
which did not sOOthe the nerves of the
passengers as the train dashed into the
dark arch way l30 feet under ground.
In a moment there was the noise Of,
falling rock, lights were extinguished
and screaming passengers CROPPED their
way out of the crushed cars. The hOr-
ror of the situation can easily be imag
ined, but strangely enough there was
no loss of life. Civil engineers are at
loss to explain the cave-in, which
was SO serious that crater so feet
wide was formed by the depre ssion on
the surface above. Some experts think
the tunnel is beyond repair, and the
accident will raise serious doubts
about the safety of similar structures
elsewhere.

Died at His Post.
Hnrper's Young People.

A good many boys think that the
life of a cowboy in the far West is a
very jolly one. They imagine that
cowboys have little to do except ride
fast ponies, shoot antelope, and have a
good time generally. This is as great
Il mistake as can be made, and any boy
who goes West with the expectation of
making a fortune by simply amusing
himself on the plains will come East
again bitterly disappointed youth.
Cowboys have much hard work to
do they are often exposed to the Sc
verest weather, and their very lives
have frequently to be risked in the
course of duty.
A boy must not shirk danger
when his employers or his own inter
est is at stake. The following story
illustrates this
A COW boy known as ''Tex" was or
dered to drive small herd of cattle
| from a certain ranch in the southern
part of Nebraska to a station on the
| Union Pacific railway. 1t was drive
of only one day, and Tex started out
alone very early one morning, believ-
| ing that he would need no help to
manage SO small number of cattle.
| During the forenoon Tex observed
clouds gathering in the north, and he
| felt sure storm was coming. He
knew it was of no use to try to hurry
the herd, but he felt il little uneasy as
storms in that locality are likely to be
very severe. His fears were well
grounded. Rapidly the wind increased,
blowing dead against the cowboy and
his charge. Colder grew the atmOs-
phere, and few snow flakes fell. A
blizzard was coming, but Tex kept
moving forward. BOreas was fairly
bowling now, and the air was bitter
cold. Tex's cattle, with heads low
down, breasted the storm, and moved
slowly along the trail. Tex shouted
cheerily to encourage himself as well
as his cattle, but by degrees he grew
more and more chilled and hOarse, and
after while he stopped shouting. TIC
keep his blood in circulation, he threw
his arms about and beat his hands
against his thighs and body, but soOr
that did no good, and he sat still in his
J saddle, freezing. The storm rushed
} and roared yet, and colder grew the
air. About mid afternoon n few cattle
were blown by the wind to group o
shanties standing out on the plain fal
J from the regular trail. A pony nearly
frozen followed, and stopped in from
of one of the sl1anties. His rider sa
motionless, and men rushed out to hell
him down, but he kept his saddle like
a marble statue. The rider was Tex
and he was stone dead.

Great Nations Destroyed by Drink.
Irish World.

Irish World
The great empires of antiquity might
still have been. flourishing but for Ger
tain destructive agencies cherished
within their own bOsOms. Babylon
was conquered, not SO much by the
Modes and Persians, as by drunken
ness and revelry. Had it not been for
the debauchery of her kings and
princes and the general effeminacy of
her people, she might long have reared
her lofty brow among the nations, with
her hanging gardens and fair palaces
the admiration and delight of all be-
holders. Persia fell, not so much by
the energy and valOr of the Greek
armies as by the drunkenness of her
kings and people. Had it not been for
this, that wonderful people might still
have been a power in the world.
Greece in her turn fell, not 80 much by
the power of the Roman arms as by
her own discOrd and effeminacy. Save
for this, Athens, in art, science and
manners might still have been the
worlds wonder and example. Rome
fell, not so much by the hordes OF
Cloths, Huns and Vandals descending
upon her plains and assaulting her
cities, as by the careless ease and sot-
fish Indifference of her people. Wine
and spoil took away the heart of that
great Empire and unnerved it's mighty
arm. But for this Rome from hel

trolling the dcstinies of the world, OF

Catholic Church News.

NEW YORK. Sept. The Catholic News of
this city has information from it's Roman cor
respondent that Emperor William of Germany,
who will visit Rome IN October, would not con-
sent to use the rooms first set apart for him by
the Italian officials. The rooms p~rofered him
in the Quirinal were those formerly inhabited
by the Pope. The apartments now being pre-
pared for him are those occupied by the late
Victor Emmanuel.
The Catholic News is also advised of the post
ponement of the consistory that was TO have
been held this month. until November. Several
new cardinals among them the Pope's major
domo, Mgr. Macchi, will then be created. The
new bishops of the United States will be pre-
coniaed and, it is expected that the vacant Cana
dian sees will be filed.
The Catholic News tomorrow will publish an
interview with Mr.. Maurice Egan. late editor OF
the Freeman's Journal, in which he states that
the paper has been transferred, with its good
will. to Messrs. Austin Z. Ford and Robert E.
Ford. Mr.. Eean, who takes a profsssorship at
Notre Dame College, will continue as an edi-
torial contributor. The Freeman, unden the
new management, will be strictly Catholic in
tone, and in politics will be non-partisan.

Eyictions In ireland.

DUBLIN, Sept 1.-The e~victisns on Lord
Clanricards's estate were resumed to-day. The
~evictors first attacked the house OF q man named
Tully, at Cloncoe. The house faced the river
Shannon. A deep trench had been dug about
the building, the roof of which was banked with
clay, stones aud states. Trees had been sunken
in the ground parallel with the walls. which were
made much stronger thereby. The first attack
of tho batteriug ram was beaten off by means
Of stones and boiling liquids, which the gar
rison used with good effect. The attacking marty
was compelled frequently to retreat. Then the
constables were ordered upon the roof OF the
house, but many of them were hurled downinto
the ditch by the defenders, who captured a num-
Der of the boarding party's rifles and an officers
sword. The police made repeated attempts.
and finally, after a hard fight OF an hour and .
half. succeeded in capturing the house and svict-
ing the inmates. The next house attacked was
one occupied by a man named Tuohy. The
fight here was shorter, though equally furious.
Eiehtsen young men of the garrison were ar
rested. The majority Of them had received
severe sword cuts on the face and arms and on
various parts of their bodies. Three other ftmi-
lies were evicted at Domas.
