A Noticeable Protestant Opinion.

A Noticeable Protestant Opinion.
''There has been good deal of contro.
versy of late" writes the editor of the
Review of Reviews, ''as to the destiny
of the Catholic Church in America. The
following extract from an article by DR..
Fleetwood in the Missionary Review,
will be read with interest. It cannot
possibly be alleged that DR.. Fleetwood
is biased in favor Of 'Romanism:"
'sWhen we consider the boldness and
assurance IF lnfdelity, think that
every true friend of the cause of Christ
must rejoice in the alliance of the
Roman Catholic Church in America.
That it is great Church in its great

hierarcnial assumptions. /, for one, have
no doubt. That there are tens and
hundreds of thousands of real Christians

its strong faith and its undinching

day, there is good reason to believe.

With. her fond eyes hxed on. heaven,
And her soft lips quiverfng
Lo unto her vigils given. u 81
Came wondrous bird to sing.
Bird resplendent, radiant vision!
Gorgeous dream Of Paradise!
Flamed it's wings with light Elysian
Glowed like gems, its glittering eyes;
Every plume, with glad emotion.
Trembling on, It's slender throat
What wealth Of pure devotion
Thrilled through every tender note!
..Tune thy lay, my beauteous minstrel!
Let thy swiftest notes be heard;
Praising God in strains celestial.
We will sing to Him, my bird"
Thus the Saint in tones ecstatic--
'Jesus bids US both rejoice!'
Clear the bird beside the lattice
Echoed soft her dulcet voice.
Ger the sward, the moonlit plaza.
Through the garden warm and wet.
Sweeter than the native queena
Swelled that marvellous duet;
Meath the birds shrill, piercing treble,
Rosa's rich contraltO rolls
Matchless music heard in heaven,
Song of glad: seraphic souls!
All too soon the golden morning
Dawned IN skies of sapphire blue;
Rosy rays the East adorning.
Crowned with glory old Peru.
Vigils past. while to her labor
Santa Rosa turned once more
Lo! her feathered. midnight neighbor
Soaring sped thro' heavens bright door!

How Little Gill Asked Tor the butter.
Harriet Beecher Stoves son, Rev.
Charles Stowe, of Hartford. Conn, met
with an experience the other evening
which completely nonplussed him.
One evening quite recently he dined
with Mrs. j. w. Boardmann, proprle~
tress Of the Hotel Woodruff. Visiting
Mrs. Boardmann IS cute little niece
about five years old. She is a regular
chatterbox, and makes manv bright re
marks during the day. Fearing lest the
child would astonish the preacher by
some outlandish saying. her aunt
warned her to keep mum during the
dinner.
The admonition was listened to with
awe, aud at the table the little one
scarcely dared look at Mr.. Stowe, not
wishing to commit supposed sin.
While the servant was absent from the
1oom the little girl noticed there was no
butter on her small pink dish.
She didn't mind holding her tongue,
but to eat bread without butter-that
would never do. She took survey Of
the table, and, 10 and behold, the but
ter dish was directly in front of the
preacher. Wistfully she gazed at both
for a few seconds. Never in her brief
existence did she appear SO pensiYe.
Then. gathering all her courage, and
clearing her throat, she said:
''Dear pastor. won't YOU please, for
Christ's sake pass the butter?'
Rev. Mr.. Stowe never received such a
shock. He leaned over his chair to
pick up his napkin, which. Of course,
had not fallen. Mrs. Boardmann must
at that moment have arranged a win
dow curtain. and other guests were
suddenly touched with friendly cough.
Little Mabel. self satisfied that she
had done the proper caper, was the
only one at the table who could pos
itivelY prove that size was allve.-Som-

the two women ran home, and the
news of the apparition spread from q
Castel Petroso to the SURF ounding vii
lagos. at first the story only excited
derision, and nobody believed the
women. However, gradually peple be-
gan to visit the place. and by their own Z
eyes were convinced of the truth of the
vision. The bishop Of the diocese for g
long time paid no attention to the ac-
counts Of this miraculous appearance
and the healing powers Of the spring,
which had never before been heard Of.
but by the command Of the Holv Father
he proceeded to Castel Petroso. and
having himself seen the apparition
and caused the spring to be carefully
analysed, he decided to build church
on the spot to be dedicated to the
Blessed Virgin. and the first stone is to
be laid shortly. The beautiful Gothic
design of the church is at present to be
seen in one OF the windows
of the printing house at the Propa-
ganda.

excitement last evening when It was
known that Secretary Of State John +.

before Esquire Colt Of smyrna. TO answer
a charge Of ciminal libel. preferred by
Gilbert B. Taylor. editor Of the
Smyrna Record. The charge grew out OF
an article published in the Delawarean
some months ago, over the signature Of
John C. Gooden. The article was In
reply TO a short paragraph In the Smyrna
Record which advised "the citizens of
Willow Grove TO muzzle John @"
To this paragraph John @. objected in
an article that fairly sparkled with sui
phur and In which the Record man was
held up as a character that wouldn't re-
fleet much credit on a well conducted

tary of state was acquitted because Editor

light on the subject Of the safe breaking
at Earles iewery establishment:
RTsINe SUN, March l9 On last Wed
nesday a man came to Pyle and Nc
Intyre's Barleywood mills in this place,
and represent ed that he was from New
York, and the agent of a Minneapolis

He wrote his name on card, "R. p.
Crossen, and the name of the firm as
Duryea, Watts & Company He stayed
in the mills about an hour and half,
and member of the firm noticed that he
was eyeing the safe. He did not touch
it, however.
He left Pyle & McIntyres Office and
went to the blacksmith shop kept by
James Toner. He gave Mr.. Toner draft
of set of tools, which, be said, be
wanted made out of the best English
steel
He left a $50 bill On Thursday he
called and received the tools, for whic h
the bill was "a He said that he did not
want any change. and left. He has not
been seen in the vicinity since The

Crossen is described as a young man,
about 21 years old, feet or 10 inches,

The branch office of William G. Earle's
Philadelphia jewelry house at Eighth

robbed on Sunday morning and the safe

was committed so deftly and
quietly that it was not known
for several hours. The police were noti-
fed, but thay had very few clues to work
upon. They found broken brace, which
was stolen from cabinet shop next

loafng around Eighth and

and as two men answering the same
description left the Delaware avenue

they were the safe breakers.
