Manning and the Jesuits.

Edmund s. Purcell, who wrote the biography of Cardinal Manning that was so widely discussed and in some quarters condemned, wrote a paper foi The Nineteenth Century entitled "On the Ethics of Suppression In Biogra' phy. " in which he makes an interesting statement concerning Manning's rela' tions to the Jesuits;
 Cardinal Manning could not endure -it was not in his nature-to be looked upon by the Jesuits as an "enemy of vital godliness. " They feil under his ban. Metaphorically he "cursed them with bell, book and candle. ln a laughing fashion their retort came quick:
 Cardinals may come, cardinals may So'
 But we go on forever.
 Cardinal Manning, as IS known o1 all men. regarded the suppression or the Society of Jesus ill 1773 as the work of Gods hand. He likewise looked upon it's restoration in 1897 as Gods work. Bnt his abiding hostility to the Jesults' based, as he declared. on their corporate action in England and Rome, was tesfl fed by the prediction which he uttered on various occasions, 'I foresee another I773.n

How Grant, Got the Name of Ulysses.

The story was curious As related by the father afterwaPd, it appeared that the common difficulty Of choosing name for the babe arose. Multitudes of suggestions only confused the young parents the more, until at last it was proposed to cast the names Into hat. This was Gone. A romantic aunt sug- gested Theodore. The mother favored Albert in honor of Albert Gallatin. Grandfather Simpson voted for Hiram, because he considered 1t handsome name. The drawing resulted in two names, Hiram and Ulysses.
 Ulysses, it is said, was cast into the hat by Grandmother Simpson, who had been reading translation of Fene- Ions ''Telemachus" and had been much impressed by the description of Ulysses given by Mentor to Telemachus. He was gentle of speech. bensheent of mind. :" 'The most patient of men. J "He Is the friend of truth. He says nothing that is false. but when it is necessary he comedies what is true. His wisdom is a seal upon his lips, which is never broken save for an important pur- pose. "-Hamlin Garland in Mcclure s.

ST. PAUL'S ROCKS.
A Submarine Mountain In the Middle of
 the Atlantic Ocean.

Submarine Mountain In the Middle of
 the Atlantic Ocean.
 Almost at the very center of the At lantie ocean--only a trife north of the equator and about half way between South America and Africa-is & sub. marine mountain so high that in spite of the immense depth of the sea. it thrusts its peak 70 feet above the waves This peak. startling from it's position, forms labyrinth of islets, the whole not over half a mile ill circumference, known as St. Paul's rocks. So steep is the mountain, of which this lonely rest ing place of sea birds is the summit, that one mile from these rocks a 500 fathom line with which soundings were at. tempted by Ross on his voyage to the Antarctic failed to touch bottom.
 Were the bed of the sea to be suddenly elevated to a level with the dry land, St. Paul's rocks would be the cloud capped peak of mountain rising in sheer ascent in the midst of broad plain. They are supposed to have been formed by the same disturbance of na. ture which separated the Cape Verde is- lands from Africa.
 Treacherous currents make navigation in the vicinity of these rocks dangerous A Brazilian naval officer, who passed them on an English steamer, tells m that the evening before they expected sight them he was told by tho capta that at 5 o'clock in the morning thu would appear about five miles west. 4 that hour the officer went on deck an looked to the notwithstanding but al expanse of heaving sea. He chanced tt turn, and there, five miles to the east ward were-the rocks. The currents had, in less than 12 hours, carried q full powered steamer ten miles out of her course. .-Gustay Kobbe in St. Nioh- o1oC

ICE CAVES.

 In California With Their Product as Clear
 as Crystal.
 In Modoo county, Cal. is an immense field of lava covered with a beautifnl forest of conifers, which is inhabited bv deer, bear, panther, lynx, coyote, porcu. pine and numerous fur bearing animals whose pelts are of value to the trapper twas h these lava beds that the Modoo Indians made their stand against the government troops some years ago and were With very great difficulty destroy. ed. 1t IS here that the ice caves are found, and from them the Modocs drew their water supply while besieged by the troops.
 One never having been over a lava held can form but little idea of the chaotic manner in which the ingenious workmen have left tho products of their labor. The only order observed is disor. der of the most exaggerated kind. wherein every mass of rock has been twisted or raised or depressed or arcbed over some cavern in different way from that of its neighbors The caves scatter ed throughout these lava beds are of very varying shapes and dimensions some are mere covert ways, with an arch of stone thrown over them. Others are Immense chambers some yards from the surface, another kind is sunk quite deeply a!:d may be in a series of cham. befs united by corridor that opens at the surface, while another kind seems to go directly to the center of the earth without stopping.
 1t IS here that the stores of ice are found, which is formed from water that filters in annually from the melting snows above. Every winter the lava beds are covered with a fall of snow which varies from two to ten feet in depth. The temperature over this region in the coldest weather is often 90 or moro degrees below zero, so that any water that might be in the caves is frozen solid, unless the caves mouths should be entirely covered with snow, which is not often the casa. Now, when spring comes and the snow melts, the water percolates through into the cold storage chambers beneath and is there congealed by the prevailing cold. It is in this way that the ice has been made and stored for years. And were these caves accessible to market they would furnish the purest of ice to many oities for years to come.

California Is Widely Celebrated, but Lit-
 tie Known.
 In the first place. California is known not by what millions of people have seen, but by what millions have read. Europe is better known by contact to Americans than California. A promi- nent American author recently "discoy- cred" California and filled the newspa- pers with the interesting and suggestive Impressions it had made upon his mind He had been to Europe 20 times and to the Pacific coast once, which is once of- tener than many other distinguished travellers of the eastern seaboard. Still further, the Anglo-Saxon race is dealing with new conditions in California. Coming from dense forests, from a land of heavy rainfall and from a temperate climate, where winters are long and stern, 1t settled in treeless deserts, in a land of slight and peculiar rainfall and under sky that never knows the win ter. Finally California is in it's infancy.

In less than half century several farreaohing changes have swept through the industrial and social life of the state, swiftly altering the conditions of labor and of business. Even for those living in the midst of these events it has been difficult to read their significance and estimate their influence on the ultimate character of the place and people, What wonder, then, that to the outside world California has meantime appeared like tumble of gold, palms and oranges, of gilded millionaires and hopeless pau pers, of enviable farmers living luxuri- ously on small sections of paradise and of seryile alien laborers herded in stifing tenements?

~Town Treasurer Soliga says
he has a bill Of the expense of the
street hands in laying water mains
to st. Joseph's Catholic church, and
that the congregation will pay it.
Every one supposed the congrega-
ton would pay the expense of lay
ing-no matter who put them un-
der grounds it had bought the
mains and hydrant from the town
at cost, and they were consequent
ly its own property. Certainly the
COURIER never intimated that the
work was being done at the towns
expense, but simply that the street
hands were employed in doing the
work, so there was no need of ex-
plantations in regard to it, as the
churches usually comply with their
contracts.
However, Marshal Hoffman in
forms the COURIER that the street
hands did not lay the mains.
