advocates of free silver are in ma

time, under certain restrictions, so as
to satisfy the silverites? There ought
to be some way of arranging a salts
factory measure.

A MIRACLE.

A story is told by William lie Fanu Of
the we'll known Irish priest, Father Tom
Mcguire. A farmer, it seems, once
asked his reverence what a miracle was.
The priest gave lengthy explanation,
which did not quite seem to be what
the applicant wanted.
Nov, do you think, your reverence"
he persisted, that you could give me
an example Of a miracle7"
WELL" replied Father Mcguire,
walk on before me, and I'll see what I
can do for you"
The farmer complied, and as he did
so the priest gave him a we'll aimed
kick that made him howl with surprise
and pain.
Did you feel that?" blandly inquired
his reverence.
"Owch! And why wouldn't feel it?"
the farmer said, rubbing the damaged
portion of his anatomy. "Begorra l felt
it sure enough"
We'll" Father Baguire replied, ct
would be a miracle if you didn't. -
