His disappointment was SO evident

Celebrated Roman TneoioSahs'
There are two differeot tribunals
at Rome to which is intrusted the
Judgment OF books. pamphlets, ar

them as liable to a charge OF endan-

those is the congregation of the holy

is the congregation Of the index.

these will cause a thrill of horror in
the minds Of those whose knowledge
of the inqulsition is derived from
the calumnies and exaggerations
that have been heaped upon it by its
enemies, says the Nineteenth Cen

its chief object to arrest the progress
of the doctrines Of Luther.
The congregation of the holy

place among Roman congregations.
Its members are some dozen cardi-

pope on account OF their knowledgr

An interesting anecdote OF Liu-

is related In q recent number Of the
Century.
Two mon had been accused OF

Quoted before Judge David Davis,

and the other by Leonard Swett, a
prominent lawyer Of that day. The
judge and the two lawyers were per-

coin was moved to speak his opinion
frankly of the case in hand.

trial for two days" he said, land

guilty. and that the witnesses for
tho state have told the truth. 1t is
my opinion that the best thing wc
can do for our clients is to have them
come In to morrow morning and
plead guilty to man slaughter. and
let Davis give them the lowest pun
ishment"
But Mr.. SWEET did not concur in
this opinion, and declared his in
TAM ntion to continue fighting the case
to the last, adding that he had
evidence in reserve OF which Lincoln
did not know, which would countor-
act the effect of that OF the state s

However. as Swett would not con-

"Now, Swctt. ] cannot argue this

accused were triumphantly acquitted.
But tho next day Lincoln came to
his friond with a check in his hand,

..Swett. here Is the five hundred
dollars which l have received for de-
fonding one of these men. 1t all bo-
longs to you; take it."
Five hundred dollars was an i'm

OF his life, but feeling that had his
advice been followed his client would
have suffered, he wished Immediately
to pay over the money to the man
whose persistence in an opposite
course had saved him.

Our FRIENDS, the Birds.

Those who have made q study Of
bird habits say that birds Of almost
all sorts arc rather the friends than
the enemies of farmers and garden
ers. Not only do the song birds by
destroying insects earn their right to
eat few berries, but even the crow
that generations OF farmers have
scared and killed, is said to prefer
insects to corn. and often to be in the

L. the Cause of the Deprss-

An important speech, touching upon wheat,
silver, gold and American mining, railroads
burgh last week by the RI. Hon. Henry Chap.
lin, conservative, president Of the board OF
agriculture In Lord Salisbury's last govern
ment The speech wns an address TO q
crowded conference of the Scottish chambers
OF husbandry, and had for It's subject "Bimet.
nllism In relation TO agricultural depression" "
The speaker declared that agricultural de-
PRECISION was chiefly due to the steady and
hslvy fall In the prices Of produce, which he
elaimed was due to the monetary changes OF
1878 and could only bc stopped by reverting
TO the previous monetary system.
Nobody could foreseo where tho present
fall in prices would end. According TO the
latest table, the fall from 1878 to 1893 OF 40
per cent in wheat amply illustrates this. The
British commissioners, he added, studied the
prices of wheat In America In 1879, md he
lieved that It could never be exported cheaper
than 40 shlllings per quarter. But superior
Indian wheat was sold Inst week at HUI ZOE
~ paillings pence per quarter.
Touching upon the farmers OF America he
said that they, especially. were being ruined
and becoming bankrupt faster even than the
British farmers.
Others contend that over production is re-
sponsiblc for the fall In prices, but he claimed
that statistics show that the production OF
wheat has decreased, although the prices have
fallen. Therefore, from the point of view OF
tho speaker, It was farcical aud ridiculous to
attribute the fall in prices to that cause. The
real cause, he said, was the decentralization OF
silver in 1873 and the subsequent divergence
of the relative values OF metals, which en-
nbled the siver-using countries like India to
Cha piin also said:
.'And as silver continues TO fall there Is no
reason why wheat should not cheaper indefi-
nitely. We propose, as remedy, nm inter
national agreement to revert to the system
which prevailed prior to 1873.
