BARBARA FRIETcHIE," Whittier's IA

dent given to him by the novelist, Mrs.
E. D. e. n. Southworth, and was first
published in the Atlantic Monthly,
nearly thirty years ago.
NJ. IsENAN left no memoirs, being as
adverse to the display of private life in
books as was Tennyson. The best of
his mind, the Frenchman used to say,
was in his books intended for publica-
ton. 1t was his wish that not even his
correspondence should get into print.
ONLY four homes of British writer's
have been preserved on account of the
associations connected with them.
They arc the homes of Shakespeare,
Milton. Burns and Wordsworth, and it
is suggested that Somersby Recto-v.
Tcnnyson's birthplace, should be added

CATHOLIC CONFERENCE.
Second Days Proceedings OF the EccIesi

Second Days Proceedings of the EccIesi-
astical Conference.
New YORK, Nov. 1S.-The second
days session of the conference of the
arch bishops of the Roman Catholic
church in the United States began at
10 o'clock at the archiepiscopal resi-
dence. Cardinal Gibbons presiding
Again deliberations were carried
on behind closed doors. The major
portion of the time, it was learned, was
occupied in the discussion of the ques-
ton on the condemnation of certain
secret societies. The debate referred
chiefly to the Odd Fellows, mum bering
about 500, 900 in the United States, and
to Sons of Temperance, whose roll in
cludes about 20, 900 membership.
According to Arch bishop Katzer, the
society of Odd Fellows has within late
years gained a large increase of mem
bership from the Catholic ranks on the
plea that they are not Free Masons and
therefore not society forbidden by the
Catholic church. The council of Balti-
more has appointed the college of the
arch bishops of the United States as the
only competent tribunal in the matter
Of secret societies, he argued, and it is
the duty of the present conference to
determine exactly the question tissue
The majority of the council conceded
with the opinions expressed by Arch
bishop Katzer and appropriate action
will be taken before the close of the
conference SO that the matter will be
indisputabl settled.
The only phase of the school question
touched upon at the session was that of
the treatment of the Catholic Indian
children in the western reservations,
who have been compelled to attend nom
Catholic schools, despite the protests of
their parents

CHINESE SOLDIERS. PAY.

They Are Given Pure silver Instead of
Coin, Into Which They Afterwards
Change It.
The Chinese soldier receives his pay
once month only, and Chinese months,
it may be remembered, are much larger
than those we are accustomed to
reckon by. On the eve of the pay day
the captain of the company, together
with his sergeant-major. goes and re-
ceives the amount of money requisite to
pay his company from his next superior
officer
This is not paid to him in jingling
coins, but in pure silver. which. how
ever, has been broken into somewhat
irregular pieces. The whole of the
night preceding payday is occupied in
weighing out for each man the required
quantity of silver, and this occupation,
as may be imagined, is very tedious
one, and only successfully accomplished
by infinite care, for here a piece the
size of a pins head has to be clipped
off. and there piece of larger dimen-
sion has to be added to make up weight,
and any deviation one way or the other
means the loss of perhaps days pay
or more to some poor defender of the
celestial empire
When the process of melting out is ac-
complished the silver is carefully
wrapped in paper, upon which is writ
ten the name of the intended recipient.
On the following afternoon the COM
pany is mustered, and the sergeant
major divides the money, commencing
with the first man in the company and
going to the last. When this division
is concluded the question is asked in
stentorian tones: HAS any one else
ciaim?' and the customary ''No" having
been promptly given. the men are then
dismissed
Each one now repairs to the nearest
BRIDESMAIDS shop, where he exchanges
his silver. For one tael he receives 1 600
small coins called cash, perforated in
the center so as to allow of being
threaded on a string, and. having re-
ceived the proper amount, turns home
ward with a cheerful mien, but nearly
sinking beneath his burden.
The private receives three and half
taels, equal to about nineteen shillings
monthly, out of which he has to pro-
vide himself with clothes and food.
But he lives on rice and his clothes cost
but trihe.-Chicago Dispatch.

The taxpayers in Buffalo and Erie
county are confronted with an immense
bill incident to the late strike. Under
the laws of the state of New York,
whenever there is trouble in a county
of SO grave Il nature that the ordinary
police force cannot control it the sheriff
summons posse comitatus. If that
force cannot subdue the rioters, then
the sheriff calls upon the governor, who
orders out the militia, and under the
law, the expense of its employment is
charged to the county where the lawless
trouble has occurred and whence the
requisition has been made, upon the
theory that the state has been called
upon to do the work of the county. The
county, furthermore, is made RESPONSE
BILE for all damages inflicted by the riot
ers, as in Buffalo and Erie county for
the burning of cars and destruction OF
freight and buildings.
