Looking Up the Records of the Young
 Mems Catholic Literary Association. II ,
 The only thing yet unfinished in the history of the Catholic church in Water bury prepared for the new history By Rev J. H. O'Donnell, is the history of the Catholic Literary society," Much discus sion is being indulged in among the mem- bers in order to determine who was its first president. It is stated that A. J. Cameron, who was clerk at the woolen mill, was the society's first presiding officer But there must be some mistake about this. The society was organized in 1867 and MT Cameron did not come to this city until some time in 1869. The records of the society are we'll preserved as far back as 1870, but the minutes of the meetings held prior to that date were destroyed by the fire in the Lilley block and there is noth- ing left to show who was the first presi- dent. The records of the meeting of Feb urary 1870 show that John H. Moran, William c. Keenan, D. J. Casey Dennis J. Connor, R. F. Grady, Patrick Mooney, Thomas Ahearn, Michael Mitchell Frank Reid, William McGrath, Peter Murphy and several other we'll known residents were present. At the following meeting John H. Moran presented the name of A. J. Cameron as an honorary member. At this same meeting John H. Moran and William c. Keenan, were candidates for the position of superintendent of the Sun day school. MT Moran lead his opponent by few votes. At this meeting a com mittee consisting of D. J. Casey, D. J. Connor. John Bowling, John H. Moran and Maurice Dee was appointed to go to New York and select books for the new library The minutes of June, 1870, show that the following officers were elected: President. D. J. Casey; vice-president, William c. Keenan; secretary, D. J. Con- nor; assistant secretary, William McGrath; treasurer. John H. Moran; librarian, Maurice Dee; assistant librarian, James Dooling: marshal, John Cunningham; standing committee, Frank Reid, James Srahan, John Casey, Patrick Mooney, Michael Mitchell and Peter Murphy. It would appear from what can be learned from the minutes that there must have been one or more presidents previous to the advent of MT Cameron in this's.ty.

..rhe Dark Side of a Great City,"

''The Dark side of a Great City is con- sidered one of the best plays of its class now before the public. It might be aptly described as a melo-dramatic master piece. Although it has had a long and successful career throughout the country, and has frequently been seen in this city where it has thousands of friends, the play is evidently as popular as ever. New melo-dramas have come and gone, but "The Dark Side of Great City, runs on like a perennial spring. The secret of it's success is easily found in it's abundant and wholesome comedy, sentiment, strong and sometimes startling realistic situations and sensational scenes. At the opera house tonight.

PILGRIMS MOBBED.
Rioters In Valencia Hurled Insults at the
 Pope.

VALENCIA, April 12.-The Spanish pill grinnge to Rome was made the occasion for a demonstration here directed against the pope. Fourteen hundred pilgrims started from Madrid after the holding of imposing ceremonies in the Church of San Jose, and according to the programme they were to be met here by number of others of the faithful who desired to visit Rome and make their Obeisance to the pope
 A band composed of about 400 of the worst elements of the city paraded the streets cheering for Garibaldi and Italian unity and shouting, Death to the pill grims.' The police ordered the mob to dis perse and were met with flat refusal, whereupon q charge was made upon the rioters that speedily put them to flight.
 When the pilgrims from Madrid arrived, accompanied by the archbishop of Seville, the bishops of Madrid and Cadez and a number of other distinguished prelates, riotOus mob again assembled in the streets, and proceeding to the quarters temporari- ly occupied by the church dignitaries the mob hurled the most offensive and insult ing epithets at them. So threatening did the situation become that the pilgrims were obliged to hasten their authorization They were accompanied by strong escort of the civil guard, but this did not deter the mob from attempting to assault them.

Billy Forsythe, of Danbury fought twelve rounds with Jimmy McNey of Brooklyn, at a road side hostlery near Jamaica L. I, last night and was defeated. The fight was for purse of $2OO and bet of $1O0 a side. The battle was to finish and much money was staked on the re- suit. Both men were in fine trim For
 sythe was the favorite with the sports who witnessed the mill. He hammered McVey all over the ring in the first three rounds. and in the fourth knocked his man off his feet. When McVey arose he rushed For
 sythe and came near ending the fight then and there. From then on the fight was of the hurricane order, both taking and giving heavy blows. In the 12th round Forsythe rushed intend ing to finish the fight, but was met by a stiff left hanp punch and sent down on his knees. When he got on his feet again and before he could put up his guard McVey struck him another blow that sent him out.

With sudden effort Mrs. Forsythe
overcame the emotion which had made
itself so dangerously apparent in her
countenmce, She forced a smile, and
with admirable presence Of mind made
haste to turn the apprehensive glanccs
of everybody from herself by requesting
Lamar to go on.
"Oh, no, Eustace; you arc wrong this
time, at any rate. never felt better in
my life. Go on, I pray you; l am SO in
terestedP'
The physician, almost forced to disbe-
heve his own eyes, eventually complied
with this request.
"After this preliminary, he con-
tinued, II got into a closed carriage
with my enigmatical friend and was
driven to certain place, where was
ushered into the presence Of as pretty
young lady as you often have an oppor-
tunity to look at. "
"A pretty young Lady," exclaimed
Maxey. "You are doing very well, La
mar. Proceed. Don't spare the details. "
Everybody laughed even Mrs. For
sythe, but Ellen, whowas watching her
with sharp eyes, saw that new and
secret terror was coming over her as the
doctor went on. At his" last words her
hand trembled visibly. Nevertheless she
only raised a handkerchief to her lips
and did not speak.
Lamar continued: "'Well, said my
friend, the lawyer, to the young lady,
here is Mr.. So-and-so, Of whom l told
you. He was an old friend of your IA
theirs. He ought to know you very
well. You won't object to his examin-
ing you, l suppoae?' The young woman
laughed, as l thought, a little nervously
and said: 'Oh, no, not at all. l have no
objection. He may inspect as much as
he pleases.' Rather more bold and loud
than l should have liked, but still not
offensive Dark hair, you see, said the
lawyer. Isn't that risht?' 'Oh, yes
said I, quite right And black eyes.
Good again, isn't it?' oh, yes, said l,
perfectly good And so he went on
making sort of inventory of her dis
tinctive points, yluch as though she had
been horse which he was trying to sell
me. And finally You can't guess what
happened"
They all gave it up without trying
"Well," said DR.. Lamar, FINALLY
the lawyer persuaded the girl to pull
off her stocking and show me her left
foot "
Mr.. and Mrs. Maxey were so intent
on what the physician had to say that
they did not observe Mrs Forsythe, but
Ellen saw that she looked really i'll, and
in the midst Of it darted q wild, search
ing, suspicious glance into her own eyes.
"He made her show me her foot, "
said the physician, "and then l saw
that one of the toes was missing. Here
was the scar about which he had SO
mysteriously limited. We'll, said he,

Geographical Distribution of Hair.

The geographical distribution of the
hair over the habitabe world is, as regards
the color, very precisely defnable. The
xanthocomic or light haired races are to be
found north of latitude As degs., (which cuts
off England, Belgium, the whole of north
ern Germany and great portion of Russia.
Between this parallel and latitude As. degs.
including northern France, Switzerland
and part of Piedmont, and passing through
Bohemia and Austria-there is sort of
debatable land of more or less dark brown
hair, and below this line we come gradually
upon the Melanic races, who occupy, with
hardly an exception (save where we have
colonlzed), the rest of the globe. The peo-
Piles of Europe, therefore, present in the
color of hair an almost perfect gradation-
the light haxen of the colder latitudes deep
ening imperceptibly into the blue black Of
the Mediterranean shores.-." 9Ses'SsxSN

WHERE MANY WORLDS ARE MADE.

An Aged Germans Queer Little Manu-
factory on the Bowery in New York.
Among the many curious manufactures
established on the Bowery near that whir!-
pool of heterogeneous humanity, Chatham
square, is that of making the geographical
spheres used in libraries and schools in all
parts of the country
The business is carried on by an old Ger
man with two assistants on the third floor
of large building.
While on another errand | found him
there surrounded by numberless spheres,
finished and in process of completion, to-
gether with the curious paraphernalia with
which the miniature worlds are construct
ed. The aged proprietor happened to be in
communicative mood and he took one of
the spheres, then thin layer of white pa
per pulp that had dried upon an iron ball,
and completed it while l watched the
work.
The first condition of the globe is that Of
white paper paste, formed by mixture
of pulp and glue. This is heated until a
desired consistency is obtained, and then
by means of n curious looking instrument
a cross between spoon and shovel-the
paste is carefully applied to an iron globe

This globe is heated by means of steam
pipe, which enters it through n small aper-
ture near the bottom. The heat soon hard.
ems the paste and then q sharp knife is
passed around the imaginary equator and
the two hemispheres arc separated and re-
moved. These two halves are united at
the edges with glue, and then the hollow
sphere is treated to coating of white
enamel about one-cighth of an inch thick.
"The next thing" said the German, "is
to turn the sphere into a perfect round
ness" and he placed it in distorted lathe,
which accomplished the work in half n
minute.
Two holes at either pole were bored
through the half completed world and an
iron rod which projected about an inch be.
yond the surface was inserted and fastened
in place. This formed the axis of the
earth
The world was then ready to receive the
highly colored representations of the cont-
nents and oceans. The latter are printed
from copper plates in this particular estab.
lishment by a daughter of the proprietor
on thin linen paper. Numerous sizes are
made.

and without difficulty are pasted on the

'Now, one momentmore," continued the
old German, "and you will see the whole
world completed, the blue divided from the
red and the red from the yellow"
While speaking he passed the sphere to
another girl who covered the various por.
tions of it with transparent blue, red and
yellow water colors. When that had been
done it was placed in an oven to dry and
then covered with last coating Of bril-.
liant varnish of metallic hardness, which
would wear for ages without scratching or
