She has now one archbishop, six bishops, 942 priests and 6l9 churches, with private chapels, colleges, schools and benevolent institutions. There is now ill thls country Catholic popula- tion of 5000, ,O0O, 5000 priests, 10,50t churches and chap els, 27 seminaries and $50 colleges and academies and over 5000 parish schools.

THE NEGRO VOTE.

Ex-Senator William Pitt kellogg, of Louisiana, who is in constant communi- cation with the leading negroes of the country, says to a Washington reporter that the southern negroes are fast mi grating to the northern states. He is also sorry to add, that they are fast ceas- ing to be republicans in their party politics. In Indiana majority of them, he says, would vote against Harrison, were he up for reelection to-day. In other states the negro vote Is growing, and is becoming more and more inde pendent. Says MT Kellogg:
 Tn the large cities the colored popu- lation is becoming more formidable. In New York city there are over 40, 900 and they have more than doubled in the last decade. Yet the northern exodus is but just begun. Now, remember, the voting average of the country is one in five. The negro votes one in four. What is the result: New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois would never cast republi can electoral ticket if the colored voter were withdrawn from the balance. He holds the balance of power in New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and West Virgil mia. He holds the balance of power in twenty northern congressional dis tricts.'
 Mir Kellogg points to the Louisiana Third district, and to other elections III his region, to show that the negro in the south has grown suspicious of the re. publican party, and Is not so much in clined as he was, to vote on that side. In northern cities, he says, they are gregarious, and i'll politics vote all to- gether, zen masse,' as he phrases it. This being so-
 ''I say with sorrow that they have be- come apathetic and suspicious of the republican party, and there is danger of there becoming hostile to it. If they do where is the republican party in the north? Doomed to everlasting defeat. l know that a few negroes voted the democratic ticket in New Jersey, New York and Ohio last Tuesday. I know that not few went from Washington and voted the democratic ticket in Al exandria and other Virginia cities. l know that far larger number in the four states did not vote at all, did not even register"
 The Harrison administration has given the negroes no offices. Fred Doug lass expressed his indignation at this, before he left for Hayti. Scores of negro delegations, sent to Washington to remonstrate, have failed to get any comfort. Mir Kellogg says:
 ''I speak as do because am friend to the negro. The colored people have honored me repeatedly. They trust me, and I shall be faithful to their trust so long as 1 live. What do the colored people want? The laborers' places in the custom houses; they want to lift the mail-bags and drive the wagons. They are laborers, and they want appoint ments which come home to them. It takes but little to satisfy, but that little is necessary. What have they receivedI

Smallest Town in tho Country.

Baltimore, Vt, is said to be the smallest town in tho United States. It is perched on the side of Hawks Nest, and years ago was part of Cavendish, on the other sido of the mountain; but voters had to go fifteen miles to cast their ballots, so petition was cir culated and the town of Baltimore was set off. In 1880 the population was seventy-slx, and of these about dozen were votcrs-not enough to fill the town offices, for there are twenty offices to fill.

OF Gentle Breeding.

To hotel in neighboring city, says
the Toronto Globe, there came a youth
beautiful as to his face, and his over
coat was shorter than his undercoat.
which showed him to be of gentle
breeding. He addressed the hotel clerk
imperiously, telling him that he must
forthwith summon the chief of police in
his presence. The chief of police was in
and hurried down to the hotel. He
was ushered into the room allotted
to the youth who greeted him
haughtily, but not unkindly, and per-
mitted him to seat himself. Then he
told him, between the puffs of cigar
ette, that some street youth had spoken
to him rudely. '.Am to understand"
he said savagely, ''that a gentleman
can not walk your streets without be-
ing insulted?"
As he paused for a reply he noticed
a change coming over the face of the
chief. His nostrils dilated, his eyes
opened wide, and there was a wicked
light in them. When he was able to
speak he said: "You (mean thing) do
you mean to say you got me out of bed
to tell me that? Why, I'll kill you"
and he laid mighty hand on each
shoulder of the unfortunate youth,
shook him, raised him from the floor.
and brought him down again, and
when he had been distilled almost to
a jelly with the act of fear" he slammed
the door. and the youth heard with re-
lief his heavy footsteps on the hotel
stairs. The young man believes to
this hour that the police of that city
are in league with the rOuohs.

Eels That Scale Precipices.

water over the eels, or spit on it, in
stantly they are gone. But poke a
stick down among the snaky things
and they do not notice it. The sense
of smell seems to be their main guard
against danger. Like salmon, they do
their level best to dart up the rocks in
order to ascend the river, and with
good success. Says fisherman:
II have seen as many as a hundred
bushels of eels hanging on the rocks at
one time by the suckers of their
mouths. They would wiggle and
fiutter their tails, and by the momentum
thus obtained, letting 60 with their
suckers jump up about six inches

Cock.Fighting Near the Pole.

A few days ago. as the writer in COM
pany with gentleman was passing
down Smithfield street their attention
was attracted by a handsome game
rooster on exhibition at bird fancier's s
establishment. The gentleman re-
marked:
Il never see chicken but / think
of queer sight l once witnessed on
shipboard in the arctic regions. We
had on the ship number of fowls,
among them two roosters better fitted
to grace the pit than the banquet
board. Storytelling with the crew
being exhausted, the men looked
around for some other form of amuse-
ment. A cock-fght- was proposed, q
ring formed. and the two roosters
were soon at bill and spur. So evenly
were the birds matched that they were
not allowed to fight to finish, but the
sport was prolonged long after their
less sanguine companions had been
sacrificed and passed, by the chicken
pie and palatable-fry route. to land
where it is to be hoped pullet necks
are never wrung. Well. as we ap-
preached Greenland and entered the
dfCtiC Cifcie, lntO tndL mysterious
region where nature wears mourning
for six months for the death of day.
we observed that the roosters Billy
and Jim seemed to forget the COM
bination for the proper hour for crow
ing, and to be troubled with insomnia.
They would crow at all hours of the
day or night, as though anxious to
awake the droWsy aurora from her
cloudy bed and bring her blushing
above the crimsoned horizon. One
morning they were let out of the coop
to have the usual setto, but they
seemed melancholy and dispirited. and
after few weak attempts at combat
both, as, though seized with q common
impulse, flew over the vessels side and
were drowned. Pitsburg Telegraph.

When the king of Seunaar sneezed
his courtiers Immediately turned their
backs on him and gave loud slap on
their right thigh.
1t is probable that the custom of
saluting after sneezing, which is still
prevalent in some countries, originated
in some ancient superstition.
1t is attributed by some to Pope Gre
CORY, who is said to have instituted
short benediction to be used on such
occasions, at time when, during
pestilence, the crisis was attended by
sneezing, and in most cases followed
by death.
The custom existed long prior to
Pope Gregory. The lover in "Apuli-
rus" Gyton in .Petronius," and allu-
sions to it in Pliny prove its antiquity;
memoir of the French academy mott
ces the practice in the new world on
the first discovery of America. Every
where man was saluted for sneezing.
The Rabbins, who have a story for
everything, say that before Jacob men
never sneezed but once, and then i'm
mediately died. They assure us that
Patriarch was the first one who died a
natural death; before him all men died
of sneezing, the memoirs of which was
ordered to be preserved in all nations
by a command of every prince to his
subjects to employ some salutary e1-
clamation after the act of sneezing.
When the king of Menomotapa
sneezed those near his person, when
this happened, ,saluted him in so loud a
tone that persons in the state-chamber
heard it and joined in the acclamation
in the adjoining apartment. They did
the same till the noise reached the
street, and became propagated
throughout the city; so that each
sneeze of his majesty a most horrid
cry from the salutations of many thou
sands of his vassals resulted.
With the ancient sneezing was om-
inous; from the right it was considered
auspicious; and Plutarch, in his life of
Themistocles, says that before a naval
battle it was sign of conquest. Ca
tullus, in his pleasing poem of "Acme
and Septimius," makes this action of
the deity of love from the left the
source of his fiction, The passage has
been verified by a poetical friend, who
finds authority that the gods sneezing
on the right in heaven is supposed to
come to US on earth on the left
