SUNDAY SALAD.

When the mayor of Charleston, w.
Va, sentenced white woman the other
day to work seventeen days on the
streets, young farmer arose and Of
fered to take her place, saying that he
did not know the poor wretch. but that
his sense of manhood and his respect
for womankind could not permit him to
let one of the sex incur such degrade
ton, if he could prevent it. His offer
was accepted, and he took her place in
the convict gang. The act was as noble
as was ever done by Norman baron or
paladin of France.

There was a tender and touching
scene enacted at the cathedral last
Thursday during the sacred ceremonies
incident to the comforting of the pal
lium, which was witnessed by but few
of those present. Long before the peo-
pie began to assemble in front of the
church, an old lady, accompanied by
boy, was seen to pass into the bishops
residence and from thence into the
church. where she took a pew, well for
ward in the left middle aisle. 1t was
evident from her silver hair and bent
figure that she had long passed the al
Gifted years of mans life, three-score
and ten. There was a look of mex
pressible joy in her gOOd-natured face
as she knelt and offered up a fervent
prayer to the Almighty. The lad sat
quietly by her side. She seemed
strangely agitated, and now and then
would cast furtive glance about her, as
if expecting the arrival OF somebody
near and dear to her. When the pro-
cession entered, she turned in her
place and scanned the faces of all
the clergy closely, until her gaze fell
upon the sweet cOuntenance of the
archbishop. NV it seemed as if her
Joy was complete, that the desire of her
heart was gratifed. The archbishop
passed into the sanctuary, but the eyes
of the old lady followed him and were
never taken off him while the pallium
was being conferred upon him; the
tears welled up in her eyes, and it was
with difflculty that she restrained herl
emotion. The old lady was the arch
bishops mother, the little boy by her
side her grandchild. If the ceremonies
were impressive to the casual observer,
brought thther out of respect to the
archbishop. or by curiosity. what must
not have been the feelings that Surged
through the mind of the mother as she
sat there and beheld her only son made
the object of universal homage and
crowned with highest ecclesiastical
| honor.
