Pere Hyacinthe, the French ex-priest,
is authority for the statement that over
lures have been made to him with a
view to his return to the church Of
Rome. There is no more probability Of
his return than there is Of Pere Chini-
guy. He Is married man, and his
American wife will hang on to him
until death parts them. 1t Is not SO
easy for M Loyson to become recon-
ciled to the church which rejected him
from its bosom, and he fully realizes
the fact. The priest who breaks his
ordination VOWS is the most unfortun-
ate Of mon, and there is hardly any
mercy for him.

The English Mnnicipal seryice.

Compared with other professions in
England, the municipal service is ON the
whole fairly well paid. Salaries Of town
clerks range from $500 in towns of
population Of 10000 to 81, $50 paid by
Manchester, which has population Of
500, 600, while municipal engineers are
paid all the way up from e200 in towns
of 20, 600 to 81, 600 a year paid by each
of the municipalities of Manchester,
Liverpool and Newcastle.
For these salaries the councils usually
demand all the time Of their servants.
a lawyer or an engineer may do better
as a private practitioner but in the
municipal service he is sure Of his posi-.
tiOn aud his pay, and it will be his own
fault if he has not so organized his office
and trained assistants that he can hold
on to his position well Oh into an old
age. Advancing years may tell against
a man for appointment to municipal
Office, but old age is seldom made the
excuse for getting rid Of town clerk or
a municipal engineer. Most of them die
in harness, drawing full pay.
The subordinate clerkships under the
municipalities are not much better paid
than clerkships in law and mercantile
offices. The reason why these positions
are priced is that in such position a
man regards himself as placed for life
and is consequently in the enjoyment Of
that feeling Of settlement and that alb
sence Of worry as to the future which
are so dear to middle class Englishmen.
Excellent men Of their class hold these
positions. Their abilities and their re-
spectability voald bring them the same
salaries elsewhere, minus only the fiXity
of tenure which attaches to all grades
of the municipal service. These subor-
dinates, like their superiors in the paid
municipal service, vote at all elections
like other citizens. They never attempt
to conceal how they vote, but the recur-
ring elections give rise to no pleasurable
expectations or disturbing apprehensions
of any kind ON their part. They are new
er active in the municipal campaigns
and would as soon expect to encounter
highwayman in the town as a collect
or seeking contributions to campaign
fund. -Harper's Weekly.

Columbia Library Association.

The members of the Columbia
Library Association held a meeting
Tuesday, Sept. 81, in the session
room of the First Presbyterian
Church. About twenty-five men,
bers Of the Association were present.
The President stated that the call
for the meeting was announced in
order that arrangements should be
made for the re-opening of the
Library, which had been temporarily
closed. About twenty of those pres
ent pledged themselves to continue
their earnest support of the Asso-
citation, promising an early settle
ment of all dues and assessments in
arrears. The President was ordered
to reopen the Library on Friday,
the oath, and continue the same open
on Tuesdays and Fridays in the
future. 1t was ordered that the
Library should allow no books to be
drawn by members who are in any
way in arrears as to their dues or
assessments. A second meeting was
called for Tuesday afternoon, Octo-
Der the 9th, at 1 o'clock, at which
time the election of regular officers
would occur. Inasmuch as the
present Board of Directors only hold
their office until the next election,
it was not thought best by them to
engage a permanent librarian, SO
this work has been given to different
members of the Association to look
after until the new Board is elected
when they will make such arrange
ments as may seem wise to them.
1t is hoped that all those present
at the meeting will as soon as pos.
sible see to it that all their arrears
are paid, as it is very much desired
that all existing Indebtedness be al
once settled, and the Library be in.
creased by the purchase of new vol
umns. Let all members and friend:
remember the date of the next meet
ing as announced above.

HIRAM DARTS REFUSAL.
Why He Did Not Marry the Charming
Widow Breesp

Widow Breesc.
When old Hiram Da1twGs in his sew
enty-ffth year, the faithful old wife
who had been his companion for full
half century, ickoncd and died, ana,
to the surprise and amusement of lis
rural neighbors, old Hiram set forth in
search of another wife before Hannah,
his first spouse, had been six weeks in
her grave.
He made no secret Of the fact that he
was "in the market" and seemed sur
prised that the bidders were so few. He
attributed. this fact to the general lack
of taste and judgment in the "wimmen
folks" of the present day.
They're finicky lot anyhow" said
old Hiram, IAN it comes O. this fool
new wimmen idee"
One day old Hiram drove by neigh
boris house all "rigged up in his Sun
day best and with a blue satin necktie
forming a marked contrast to the big
red geranium in his buttonhole. He
tarried for a moment at his neighbours
gate ard frankly confessed that he was
'goin sparkin."
Tie object Of this amatory visitation
was the Widow Breese, who lived cover
Hebron way" and with whom old Hi
ram was wholly unacquainted Some
one had, in a spirit Of either malice or
mischief, n ade old Hiram believe that
the Widow Breese, a robust, we'll to do
woman of about 60, would be inclined
to look with favor on Hiram s suit.
can it won't be no harm done to go
an see her anyway" said Hiram, as he
drove away.
1t was nearly dark when Hiram reap
peared, far less buoyant than when he
went away. His neighbor was on the
lookout, and, hailirg the old man, he
said:
well, Uncle Hiram, did the Widow
Breese refuse you?"
mot much she didn't" retorted Hi
ram spiritedly. 81 refused her"
"You refused her? Why, what dc
you mean, Uncle Hiram"
Mean jess what | say. refused the
old-old-cattymount!"

spectful way to speak about a LADY,"
"a 'ladyH Humph, great lady old

Crowd of Rowdies Seriously Wounded
Mr.. Robb.
ErrAToN, Sept. 2S.-Seeng that moth
ing has been said in the HERALD about
the doings of a crowd of rowdies i'm this
vicinity, we will endeavor to give you
the facts as stated by eye-witnesses.
During the protracted meeting here at
EbeneZer, the latter part of August,
everything went on nicely until Tues
day night. Every body was well pleased
with Brother POrter's sermons except
few boys.
They concluded TO have little fun
throwing stones at the church people
after service, under cover of darkness
Several were hit, but nobody hurt.
Wednesday night, a young man from
the vicinity of odd Fellows Hall in
Giles county came on a visit and ac-
companied a young lady home on his
return they chased him several hun
bred yards, firing their pistols in
the air, but that wasn't enough fun yet
Thursday night they assumed the voca-
ton of the dOnkeys by drawing a vehi-
Gle around the house in time of service.
The preachers, concluding they were
casting their pearls before swine, closed
the meeting with Oae addition.
On the first Monday night, Sept 6,
four or five of the same clique came out
| from town drunk and waited awhile at
the end of lane for Mr.. Robb, but, con-
Guiding that he was at home, dispersed
until next morning. Five of them met
and commenced pitching horse shoes in
the middle of the public road opposite
! Mr.. Abb Johnson's front yard gate,
and there continued pitching shoes,
drinking whiskey and swearing until
about noon.
Mr.. Robb left his shop and went to
the office to get his mail. One of them
slapped another on the shoulder, say
ing, "Now, b. c., we've got him out
of his hole. Let's go for him. and fol-
lowed. They found MIR. Robb sitting
on the counter Mr.. Andy R0ddy asked
a question, which it seems was an
swered to his satisfaction, for he pattcd
Robb on the knee, and said, "That's
alright" but stepped back and threw a
rock, breaking Robb's iaw-bone aud al
most bursting his tongue out. Tom
Swan then gave Roddy a shoe float,
with which he struck three times. One
of the others tripped Robb and threw
him against the stove, but rs Robbs
hold on Roddy's throat didn't relax,
Tom Swan said, with an oath, "lf You
can't pull him loose, I'll knock him
loose" and hit him in the mouth with
his fist, staving down his broken jaw.
BY this time Mr.. Bendermand succeed
ed in his efforts to part them, and Mr.,
Robb was carried home in an almost
diving condition, where he has lain at
deaths door since that time. His condi-
ton has been slowly improving, and his
wife and friends have hopes now of his
recovery. MIRIAM.

fire that consumed one Of the power

to which was attached very heavy
chain. The chain struck a generator
and shivered 1t to fragments A terrific
explosion followed every circuit, and
all the dyuamos which were running
were blown out. Fire Immediately fol-
