After the morning sermon I gave the 'sNotices'' and then announced the number of the hymn to be sung. The congregation had opened their hymn books. Seeing one of the deacons coming towards the pulpit I waited with open book. He reminded me that had forgotten to give notice of the ladies' meeting. I then stated to the congregation that had forgotten to give such notice, announced the number of the hymn again, and proceeded to read it.

I would as soon walk in the sutumnal forest with a cane as with rife My only idea of sport in good hunting is shooting on a runaway before deer hound, and with a party of my friends. I never saw a party of deer hunters that could kill as many deer in a week as either one could kill in the same place at still-hunting. For my self never killed more than two deer in one day before hounds, and that but few times, while have shot as many as five in as many minutes while still hunting.

In the first case I was watching a deer floating about in the breakers near the shore and waiting for her to come out Suddenly she sank, nothing except the tip of her black nose remaining above water. Surprised at this, I looked up and down the shore for the cause. Soon saw com ing round sharp point of land jutting into the lake on the north an Indian canoe, containing an Indian and his sQuaw and children. I showed myself and he passed the deer without pretending to see it. One of my party, however, whom I did not suppose was near, hailed the Indian & quarter of a mile below and engaged him to land his family and go out and catch the deer. I was disappointed. I could have shot the deer any time during the last half hour, but did not wish to do so until it had left the lake and was on the jump through tn scant timber lining the shore.

And good Cath olic is under no obligation to confess @ venial sin, as it is only 6 slight offense against the law of God. The teaching in regard to mortal and venial sin is debasing in its influence and destructive of the principles of all true morality.

The CapituIation or Louisbourg

Writing of the equalization of Louis bourg, in the May Atlantic" Francis Parkman says:
 The New England men had been full of confidence in the result of the intended assault. and French writer says that the timely equalization saved Louisbourg from terrible fate; yet, il-armed and be doubted whether the quiet ending of the siege was not as fortunate for them as for their enemies. The Encouragement of the French was increased by extTavagant ideas of the number of the besiegers. The s'Habitant de Louisbourg" puts them at eight or nine thousand men, and Du- chambon reports to the minister, DAT genson, that he was attacked by thirteen thousand in all. It is true that his mOrti- flying position was a pressing temptation to exaggerate.
 Warren believed that the assault would succeed, and wrote to Pepperel that he hoped they would soon "keep 8 good house together, and give the Ladys of Louisbourg Gallant Ball" When in the camp on the day the flag of truce came out he made speech to the New England soldiers, exhorting them to behave like true Englishmen, at which they cheered Justify Making visit to the Grand Bat tery on the same day, he won high favor with the regiment stationed there by giv' ing them hogshead of rum to drink his | health.

Plain Words on Money in Politics. Ward J. Phelps in the North American Re-

Vl6W-
 There is a much greater iniquity of wealth which attacks the general public and even threatens the national life. It is the employment of vast sums of money for the purchase of high places of politi cal trust and the control of the results of important elections Places that should be of the highest dignity, as they certain ly are of the largest influence, are pretty well known to be obtained by direct bribe- ry of the electors in whose gift they are. Posts of much distinction are more than suspected to be the consideration of enor- nous contributions to electioneering funds. Great sums are generally believed to be raised to carry elections by those who are accommodating excessive fortunes through system of revenue which not only casts the burden of taxation upon the industry of the country instead of its property, but, far beyond the legitimate require ments of government, burdens the many for the benefit of the few. And these sums which could not possibly be requi- site for any proper election expenses, are well understood to be employed in the di- rect purchase of votes in the market to a oCSioifC 1iC ESAANANoA PS"SA OA the country is thus in danger of passing into the hands of plutocracy, composed not of the best class of the rich, but of the worst, to be used not for the general welfare, but for the still further aggran dizement of those who have bought it, and for the elevation to high places of men who are not fit to be there. These are plain words. But it is time plain words began to be spoken on this subject. Here is not the place to pursue it. Thoughtful men can consider it for them selves, and can satisfy themselves how far the general understanding is supported by the facts. They who believe that the bus mess of government can be thus demoral- ized, and the general mass thus oppressed, with fortunate and peaceful results, have read the history of mankind to small pur- pose. The longer the storm broods before it breaks, the more dangerous it becomes. Already clouds much larger than a mans hand have risen above the horizon. How portentious they may prove no man can tell. Forces move rapidly in these days. There is nothing in government or insti- tutions under our system that is not with in the ultimate reach of the numerical ma jOrity. We are in danger, not of revolu- ton or bloodshed, but of the not less de- structive power of frantic and ruinous legislation, controlled by demagogues, and involving in its consequences the just as we'll as the uniust

Question by a Palladium Reader.

Question by a Palladium Reader. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Many readers of the Palladium would be glad to know if that paper has become an organ of the Roman Catholic churchs From time to time there appears in it some remarkable outflow of "sonorous bosh" about the pope. In the last issue (May 25) there is half a column of inn pious nonsense about "b1essed virgin"- supposed to be person referred to in the New Testament as Mary, the mother of Jesus, her only proper name. It is said of her that "no grace comes from heaven without passing through her hands," that ''she is the door-keeper of heaven;" that ''our prayers presented by her have greater merit because she is the only creature that has never offended God."- What right has the Palladium to do vio- lence to the convictions of it's readers by publishing such blasphemiesa These e1- pressions are not true and no parent who | believes the scriptures can wish such per versions of truth to be presented to his children in family newspaper. It is an l inexcusab1e outrage.
 In the same issue of the Palladium is the report of an address to the Sons of Vet erans by Roman Catholic priest in Bir- mingham, in which our common schools are condemned as injurious to the moral welfare of the people and the means of in- creasing crime, and on this account justify | ing the so-called Christian education of pa | rochial schools. The Palladium has no word of condemnation for such .uncalled- for and false representations It might have been answered by one who in mod crate degree appreciated the value of our public schools, that Roman Catholic schools in Europe and America produce large excess of crime over Protestant schools. In Liverpool one third of the population is Catholic and furnish one-half the num- Der of criminals. In Scotland one-twelfth of the population is Catholic. but furnish one-third of the criminals. In Ireland the Catholics constitute three fourths of the population, but furnish six-sevenths of the criminals. In the state prison at Concord

Springer and the speakersnip

Congressman Allan C. Durborow ar
rived in Washington one day last week
and submitted to an interview with cor
respondent of the Chicago Globe The
subject Uf the congressmsn's remarks was
the speskership candidacy of Congress
man William NJ. Springer. Said Mr..
Durborow:
"If ever a man was fitted to WELD the
speakers gavel. that man is William NJ
Springer, of Illinois. His knowledge OF
public affairs and his grasp O n parisnen-
tary law are unsurpassed, while his hon.
esty of judgment is equal to Csrlisle's.
So much for his fitness. His claims on
the position are unassailable. The
speakership should go to the west this
time. And Mr.. Springer is the recognized
candidate of the west He will have the
supports of the Illinois democracy. Of
course. as well as the democracy Of all
western states. and his chances of cleo
tion are, should say, good"
To which the Globe adds comment as
follows:
Congressman Durborow voices the
sentiment Of the people of Illinois, re-
CARELESS Of party convictions. Mr.
Springer has proved his worth during
his 10 years in congress. His record
is as clear as Il crystal and reflects honor
to himself and the constituency ne repre-
sents. His work is not confined 20 any
one locality in Illinois. but extends to
every locality Of the state.
As Congressman Duborow says, the
speakership of the next congress should
go to the west This great country is no
longer divided into one part" the east.
The west has out>grown its woody" pc
Rod, and today is an important factor
in the commercial and political worlds as
the east. The east recognizes the fact
and sees the consistency of giving the
