Gen. Sheridan's Children.

The home Of the late Gen. Sheridan
Is still sad in the remembrance of the
death of its distinguished head, but
amid all this sorrow there is quiet
JOY in the heart Of Mrs. Sheridan in
her children. The eldest daughter,
Mary. is now 10 and bright. The twin
daughters, Louise and Irene, named
after their aunt and their mother, take
after them in beauty, and Little Phil,
just turning 0, is q perfect reproduction
of the Little Phil, the hero of Winches-
ter and Five Forks. In stature and physi-
ognomy he is a counterpart Of his father,
which is a great source of consolation to
his mother. The Little Phil" of the
family shows all the courage and equa-
ninlity of the Little Phil" OF history

A professional funny man" says that
he once gave a humorous lecture at
which all his audience reared with
laughter, with the exception Of an old
man in one of the front seats, who pre-
served an aspect Of owl like solemnity.
The hunorist almost exhausted himself
In efforts to win one smile from that
stolid visage, and he was only relieved
BY hearing, after the lecture, that the
man was stone deaf.
At a very hilarious family party, one
old gentleman, famous for his apprecia-
ton Of a joke, was observed to be alb
solutely silent, even when the fun was
st its loudest. His unusual soberness OF
demeanor first puzzled and then dis
turbed bis friends.

ONE OF FOUR.
A Norwegian Catholic Priest and
His Remarkable Career.

Rev. Father Erik A. Wang, of Chris
tiania, Norway, who lectures at DANA
hall this evening on Catholicism and
Professionalism" is one of the four Nor
wegian Catholic priests in the whole
world, and while young man, being
only thirty years of age, has been in
nearly every country on the globe. He
was born at KOngsvinger, Norway, in
1859, of Catholic parents, and at an
early age evinced disposition to teach
his fellow countrymen the word of God.
His parents had become converted to
Catholicism in Copenhagen some years
before his birth, and when he made
known his desire to study for the priest
hood they aided him in every way.
When he was yet under age he went to
Rome, and there studied for eight years
in company with some of the most cele-
brated priests of the present age.
The four Norwegian priests, of which
Rev. Fir. Wang is the youngest. are
Father Stub. of Bergen; FIR Smelling,
of Belgium, and Fir. Holfeldt Houen, of
Norway. The latter is in his sixty
eighth year. and is confirmed invalid.
Rev. Father Wang is somewhat under
the average height, with large, finely
shaped head, and a pleasant, kindly
face, in which benevolence and intelli-

are more democratic and liberal in
their views. Yes, Norwegian priest is
something of a rarity, as there are
but four in the whole world. In Nor
way there are only about LOCO Catholics
all told. This is due, you see, to the
fact that the Lutheran religion is the
religion of that country. Then again
there are many forms of teaching
against our religion, and this, together
WI tn ignorance and superstition. makes
progress somewhat difficult. But we
are slowly gaining ground, and / look
forward to the time when all Norway
will be converted to Catholicism.
