She Saved Her Dimes.

Nv IltltH lDI AiAf AfA'aitANNii'f
Women may be enfeebled by luxury
as some sociologists affirm, and yet here
is a story OF patient pluck and generosity
that makes a handsome showing on the
other side
\ New York woman, a teacher or
narrow means, became interested IN
charity kindergarten far over on the east
side OF the city. \ library was needed.
BOYS and girls were constantly begging
for books. but there was not cent IN
the treasury. The teached pondered long
on the subject.
Finally. she determined to surrender her
dimes. which means that she walked ana
saved M her car-fares, for nearly two
wears and thus bought a library for her
moor children. Every week she picked up
a yolume-sometimes oftener-at second
hand Now you can get cheap. new books
i'm the large dry-gOOds houses, but TINS
was not the case when she began her
collection. She bought Black Beauty-a
book every boy and man and girl ana
woman should read-and afterward all OF
Mrs. Ewing's beautiful stories and Heze-
kiah Butterworth's. Dickens's works the
poets-though these were not 50 much
sought after-and gradually she got togeth-
er enough volumes to- lend, not
alone TO the children, but 10 their pa
rents, who read with avdity. Rules were
formed a librarian put in charge. ana
the Avenue c Library became an institu-
ton.
There was never but one book lost she
says. and that was when two OF her boys
came TO blows over II. and In the melee
the book disappeared, whereupon the
urchlns were overcome with grief. Tor
they not only loved. but took deep
pride i'm their library.
Since that time gifts of handsome
books have been presented 10 the kinder
garten, and IL is now better able 10 take
care OF itself, but | think the story OF this
unique and self-sacrlhcing act Of its
founder IS one Of the most touching
things / have ever heard.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

regard to the evacuation OF Richmond
thirty years ago to-day. Your account Is
very interesting 10 me. and | would Ike
To- add to IN a few facts that came under
my own observation on that eventual
morning:
morning / and two other members or
the City Council were standing on the
corner OF Main and Fourteenth streets
awaiting the expected arrival OF the
northern troops from below Richmond.
General Breckenridge. who was then Sec
rotary Of War and his staff came down
Main street and went towards Mayo,s
bridge. on getting 10 the bridge lead
NayO's bridge, General Breckenridge
found that a canal boat loaded with hay
1r straw was on fire. and had lodged under
the bridge and set that structure on IRE.
This compelled the General and stan 10
return 10 Main street. on getting 70 the
corner of Main and Fourteenth General
Breckinrldge looked down Main and saw
sixteen Yankee soldiers, two abreast,
galloping mp. They were then about three
blocks below old Market. Seeing this
General Breckenridge and stan galloped
quickly up Main, and must have crossed
James river some miles above Richmond.
/ have never heard exactly where they
did cross the river. but / do know they
did not cross IL at MayO's bridge.
The sixteen soldiers gallOped up Main
street 10 Ninth, and turned up 10 the
Grace-street entrance 10 Capitol Square.
The two front soldiers each had a small
United States flag, about the size of an
ordinary pocket handkerchief These

soLEMNITy OF THE MASS.
one OF the most solemn features Of the
mass Is that OF the elevatios OF the
challce. The meocious pealing OF the
small altar bells warn the congregation
OF the event, and two OF the attendant
priests hand n glass OF wine diluted with
water TO the Archbishop, who sips IL
slowly. The wine represents the blood
and body OF Christ. and at that particular
time OF the ceremony an apparition OF
the Lord OF Hosts Is supposed TO appear
upon the altar.
when the rich, fonorous voice OF the
Archbishop has completed the last words
Of the mass he mounts his throne with
the crozer IN his left hand. and while
the whole congregation and priests kneel
he gives the papal benedction.
With that the public participation In
the celebration OF the day on the part
of the Archbishop IS over. and h retires
10 his residence. Pontlhcal vespers at 4
j.. NJ. and the evening services are con-
Quoted by the other priests.
One OF the events OF the day I'm the
Archbishops palace is the dinner after
the various high masses in the different
churches. The ylcar-generals and leading
priests OF the city are usually invited 10
this repast. and 81 becomes one Of the
few occasions where n large number OF
the priests can meet and discuss the af-
fairs OF the Church.

of beauty to-day. The church is not a
large one but its beauties are many. the
most notable being its range Of stained
glass windows, credited with being the

The church is so built and the windows

Looking at 10 this way IL becomes an
easy matter 20 estimate the sum i'm the
aggregate expended by the churches in
celebrating the day. Five hundred dol
lars is a conservative figure OF the ave-
rage expenditure. OF course a great many

Der much more. But a quarter Of a mill

The school question I'm Manitoba IL now
such q serious one that many Catholic
divines believe that 1t will materially
hasten the annexation OF Canada 10 the
United States. The Catholics there are
now demanding Of the Dominion Govern
ment the right OF separate schools For
merry the Catholics were in great ma

have placed them in a religious minority.
Formerly the Cathilics enjoyed the privi-

THE PONTIFICAL VESTMENTS.
1t is 1880 o'clock when the Archbishop
leaves his palace. at the corner OF Madi-

private entrance leading into the sacrlsty
Of the cathedral. In the sacristy are kept
the pontihcal robes worn only in rare
church ceremonals. These are placed upon
the Archbishop with great forIaality by
the attendant priests. They are never al

THE CANADIAN CABINET.
The Cabinet Of Canada Is ruled by q

lies I'm his Cabinet. and so the hierarchy
of Quebec are able to bring influence upon
the Orangeman Premier. and they have
threatened to break up his ministry II ne

LEGISLATURE and restore TO the CathoiicS
their former rights under the Constitu-
ton. ~,
The issue thus presented 10 Sir Mac
Kenzie Bowell the orange Premier, IS
lust this: THAT he literally has TO take in
both hands hot poker, equally red at
either end. and at white heat In the mid
die. The Prime Minister appreciated the
situation, and has put off the evil day by
calling a session OF the Canadian Parlla-
ment to dispose Of the question.
Lord Satolli, whose sway in the Catholic
Church extends from Patagonia to Labra-
dor has decided, IL is said, that II the
Catholics OF Canada cannot obtain their
rights he will call upon the ecclesiastics
of Canada to help the movement to join
1t TO the United States. Satolli IS Of the
opinion that they can enjoy greater privi-
leges here than under the Dominion OF
Canada.
This Canadian question Is the greatest
one Of the day I'm the Catholic Church, and
1t Will be discussed in many different
WAYS in the Archbishop's house this after

Archbishop, and when he retires for the

Corner cupboards are such eXtravagant-
~ popular pieces OF furniture just now
that brlc-a-brac dealers not only buy them
readily. but send out and canvass the
country in hopes Of securing good speci-
mems.
The style Of forty years ago is ex-
cellent, with small panes Of glass fitting
the shelf space. solid brass knob for the
upper door, and brass key-holes in the
lower section. But they do not always
appear to advantage, because frequently
the owner has tried TO do the cupboard
over herself and daubed its surface with
villanous red paint
The quality Of the wood can be de-
termined by scraping off a little paint. II
it shows a reddish pink. 1t is cherry; If
light color. II is imitation. The idea now
is TO preserve the original design as near
IS as possible and 10 this end little reno
walton Is made. other than polishing. The
windows are left intact, an extra band or
molding added on the top, and supports
placed underneath 10 raise II about four
inches from the floor. Claw feet with a
carved apron, surmounted by narrow
holding is wonderful improvement
without in the least detracting from the
coveted air of antiquity
Doing over an old cupboard is very ex-
pensve The article itself costs, at the
least, from IS To II. To polish 1t alone
amounts TO several more. and, adding
claw-feet and moulding, brings 1t up 10
