Bismarck:'s New Scheme.

| London Universe: Prince Bismarck
| has hit upon new plan OF dealing with
the Catholic Church in Prussia. He
proposes to establish and endow Catho
| lie archbishopric which is to have Ber-
lin for it's use. On the face of it, this
| looks as If it were intended for the good
| Of the Church; but Prince Bismarck, in
mis- dealings with Catholicity, is the
wrong man to lido good by stealth, and
blush to fnd it fame" 1t needs no
plumb lire to fathom his hidden motives
in starting this proposal, Numerous
articles on the subject have been pub
lished by the Catholic papers or Ger
many, but they nav all be summarized
as follows: BY creating an archbishop
at Berlin, who is to act at the same time
as the Pope's nuncio, Prince Bismarck
hopes to take the wind out of the sails
Of the Catholic party both in the Ger
man Reichstag and in the Prussian
state. Parliament, and, more especially,
of it's veteran leader, DR.. Windthorst.
Berlin, however, with its million and a
quarter of inhabitants. does not con-
tain more than 10000 Catholics, whose
spiritual wants have hitherto in no way
suffered By the city being allotted to
the diocese Of the. prince bishop Of
Breslau. When Prince Bismarck has
set his mind upon thing, he does not
generally desist until he has obtained
his ends. Fortunately, the great chan
cellor has no more power TO create
new prelate in the Catholic hierarchy
than the Pope has to make new gen.
eral in the Prussian army. If Prince
Bismarck wants a pontitical legate and
an archbishop at Berlin for his own
purposes he will have to pay for it,
He will have to repeal the last shred
that remains of tie May laws, which
now constitute the principal raison
d'etre of the Catholic party.

The Story Of Father Damien.

In the May number of Longman's
Magazine, Mr.. Archibald Ballantyne
reports the present results OF the heroic
Father Damien's work in bis self-im'
posed exile among the Sandwich Island
lepers Of A1olokai. All persons afflicted
with leprosy in the Hawaiian Islands
are deported, under most strict and
yigilaut supervision Of the Government,
to Molokai, one Of the smallest Of the
group, where formerly their condition,
physical, moral and spiritual, was
simply horrible. But in 1878 q young
Belgian Roman Catholic priest, who
had been a. missionary to HAWAII, re-
solved to devote himself to the service
OF these wretched people. This was
Father Daulien--the Rev. j. Damien
dc Venster-~o whom one is inclined to
say, in ancient phrase, 'the world was

three years old, in robust health. a man

their stead, Punishment among fright.
full scenes, ana the certainty OF the
leper's awful sufferings and death. He
worked for eleven years in health. but
in 1884 there we're forebodings, and in
1885 he showed unmistakable signs OF
leprosy. Writing to a friend, in 1886,
he says:
Having doubt of the real character
of my disease, feel calm, RESIGNED ,and
happier among my people Almighty
God knows what is best fenny sanctifi-
cation, and withrthatp gnVictlon I say

all its horrible consequences reigned
supreme. To make bad worse, the peo-
ple had discovered root which, when
cooked and distilled in very crude
way, produced an intoxicating liquor
of the most frighttul kind, making
those who drank it more like beasts
than men. But Damien came, a priest
and a teacher, samong these abandoned,
dying wretches. At first, as says him
self, his labors seemed to be almost in
vain. But his kindness, his charity,
his sympathy, and his religious zeal had
not long to wait before their religious

A NEW CONSTITUTION.
The Union Secretary presented draft
Of a proposed revision Of the constitution
and bylaws which he asked should be
reported to the convention, printed III
the annual pamphlet, and allowed to
lie over until the convention of 1890
before final action should be taken
thereon. However, as the proposed re-
vision met the approval of all the mem
bers of the Board, it was decided that
it should be presented at the coming
convention as an amendment to the
present constitution and bylaws, and
action taken without the delay of
a year proposed by the secretary, so
that if approved, the provisions of the
new constitution should go into effect
on the day of adoption. The spiritual
director, president and secretary were
appointed a committee to prepare the
revised form of constitution for publ
cation in accordance with article x. Of
the present constitution. Printed
copies have since been forwarded to
society and county officers.

SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORTS.

Blanks for all annual reports have
been mailed to society secretaries. and
it Is hoped that they will be filled up
and returned at the earliest day practl-
cable. Secretaries are urged to special
care in the filling up of these reports.
Make them so complete that they will
be valuable additions TO the statistical
history OF the Union, and mail them to
the Union Secretary in time to be EN-.
bodied in his general annual reports.
PrOmptness in the post of local secre-
taries in this report will greatly facili-
tate the business of the convention,
and aid in giving the Union complete
statement of all statistical and financial
information pertaining to its work. It
is important that the new blank for
honorary members should be filled out
by every society. Those entitled to
honorary certificates are persons who
have been for three years Or oyer men,
beers in good standing IL the society.
PER CAPITA TAX.
The societies that have paid the first
half years tax are enumerated in this
bulletin. Bills for all amounts now
due have been mailed with the blank
reports to secretaries. It is desirable
that the money should be forwarded
previous to the convention, but where
this is inconvcnient, the societies
should arrange to pay the amount due
the union on Tuesday evening or
Wednesday morning previous 20 the
opening of the convention. The Uuion
Secretary will be at the residence of

Mr.. J. R. Grinstead, Sonora, KY,
says: My children have sometimes had
boils and other signs of blood impuri-
ties, with loss of appetite, etc, at which
times 1 have found Swift's Specific a
most successful remedy, in no instance
failing to effect speedy and permsn-
ent cure.
"Swift's Specific is a great blessing to
humanity" says Mr.. P. E. Gordon, of
725 Broad street, Nashville, Tenn, "for
it cured me of rheumatism of a very
bad type, with which 1 had been trou-
for three or four years. S. S. S. cured
me after 1 had exhausted everything
else."
Mr.. Russell Myrick, of the firm of
Myrick & Henderson, Fort Smith, Ark,
says he wishes to add his testimony to
the thousands which have already been
given as to Swift's Specific. He says
he derived the most signal benefit from
its use to cure painful boils and sores
resulting from impure blood.
When taken for a few days, potash
mixtures impair the digestion, take
away the appetite, and dry up the gas
trio Juices which should assist in di-
gesting and assimulating the food.
Swift's Specific has just the opposite
effect it improves digestion, brings
appetite, and builds up the general
health.

4 Mysterious Distemper among the
Horses IN Kent County, .-Horsemen
in Kent county are puzzled over the
appearance of fatal and peculiar dis
ease among horses. The animals, while
apparently well, droOp and in some
cases are dead almost instantly. A
horse belonging to Josiah Massey, a
farmer living near Chestertown, while
being bridled a few days ago for the
purpose of being used on the farm fell
dead; and so did another belonging to
Henry Massey. The latter horse was
quietly grazing in the pasture, when
Mr.. Massey passed near him and waved
his hand to make him move. The
animal raised his head and started to
walk, and fell dead in his tracks. A
third one, belonging to Bradley ThOmp-
son, which had been put out to pasture,
was found dead in the field lying near
a stream of water. A fourth, belonging
to T. H. Cooper, died suddenly without
a moments warning, never having
dropped or refused food. The appetite
of the animals is good up to the last
moment, and in some cases they have
died with food in their mouths.

THE ISSUE IN VIRGINIA.-The Re-
publican and Democratic State Conven-
tions have been held in Virginia and
candidates have been nominated and
platforms formulated. There is a
striking similarity between the princi-
pies enunciated by the two parties.
Both favor the repeal of the internal
revenue taxes, the passage of the Blair
Educational bill, the pensioning Of dis
abled ex Confederate soldiers, the set
tlement of the state debt on the Rid
dleberger plan and the reconciliation
of silver and both also oppose the i'm
portation of foreign pauper labor. On
the tariff question, however, the Re
publican platform is strongly for Pro-
lection, while the Democratic platform
endorses past state platforms, which
have favored Protection. and past
national platforms, which have been in
the direction of Free Trade.
