IRISH HUMOR.
Some Clerical Examples.


In remote country village far from
the maddlng crowd, German specula-
tive theOies, with which he was more
familiar than geography, would have
seemed about the last thing likely to
influence his flock, but he was ever
haunted by an awful fear of the havoc
that might be wrought among them by
such pernicious doctrines if they were
not duly warned. My Dritheren," he
said on one occasion, there are some
German philosophers that say there is
no resurrection, and, me britheren, it
would be better Tor thin German phi
losophers if, like Judas Iscariot they
had never been born" And this recalls
to my mind another discourse, where
the preacher wound up with the COM
forting assurance that If we paid due
attention to the instruction we had Just
received from him we would "all re-
turn to our several homes like babes re-
freshed with new made wine"
1t was on another occasion that the
same speaker, having assembled the pull
pit, gave out his text with all due So
lemnity as follows: MY text is taken
from the thirty-siXth chapter of Gene

COR. ROOSEVELY,S CAMPAIGN.
Questions Hurled Mt Him Mt Rome MeI
Held Printed Sins.

Utica, N. Y, Oct. Ex-Governor
Roosevelts third day campaigning in
New York state embraced several feat
ures not heretofore marked in his re-
ception at other places. At nearly ev-
cry place at which he stopped en- route
there were huge crowds of people
In this city tonight instead Of
speech-making the days work ended
with review of an immense demon-
stration. This was entirely agreeable
to Governor Roosevelt who during the
day had made nine speeches, some of
them extremely long ones while travel
ing through three counties-Chenango
Madison and Oneida.
The second feature of the days trip
was the meeting here of the vice presi-
dental candidates. train and that of
United States Senator Depew and the
grouping together upon one stage in
this city within period of three hours
Of ex-Comptroller of the Currency Eek
els, United States Senator Depew and
Governor Roosevelt.
The third feature was preconcerted
attempt at Rome to compel Governor
Roosevelt to answer questions in regard
to the removal of Mayor Van Wyck,
the prosecution of the ice trust, the
prosecution of the alleged canal thieves
and others relating to the office of gov
ernor. That this attempt was precon-
certed is assured from the fact that
men in the crowd asking these ques-
tons held in their hands printed slips
and that upon their failuer to compel
the candidate to answer, numbers Of
these slips We're thrown in his carriage.
The governor positively declined to give
any expression of opinion as to the cir
culars, or their authorship or to answer
any of the questions contained in them
With the exception of a short trip of
half an hour to HerFimer, where
brief address was made, the culninat-
ing speeches Of the day were at two
immense meetings in this city. Sena-
tor Depew preceding the governor and
speaking at some length on trusts pre-
cluded the governor touching very
heavily on that subject and he devoted
himself to other questions

eighth verse-Bless me, even me, also,
| o my father " And then, as one Of his
hearers aptly remarked, he proceeded to
peach a sermon which had nothing to
say to either of them.
Absent mindedness and a weakness
for metaphor are no doubt responsible
for much. To the former | credit dis
course in which the reverend preacher
alluded to Goliath fighting on behalf
of the Israelites, while King Solomon
sat by moodily in his tent and to the
latter a striking simile, which deeply
impressed the feminine portion of the
congregation, who were told that "the
grave was the great wardrobe Of the
world, where we are folded up and put
by, to be taken out new at the resur-
rection." But both of these are
eclipsed by an eloquent speaker who in
the course of an extempore address had
wandered into medieval history,
"And that haythen Soliman," he said,
"whin he was lynn dead upon the
ground, sat up an said to his friends,
Behold you now see the end of Soil
man. "
I do not deny that there may occa-
the part of the audience what was
the sermon about to-day, Mary?" in
quired a mistress of her domestic.
Please, m'm," said Mary, twisting the
corned of her apron, Tive forgotten the
text, but it was about young men,"
"Oh, really" said the lady; land what
else was it about?" please, MN, it
was about young women, too" But
can you tell me anything Mr. B. said?"
Il couldn't repeat 1t exactly MN, for
it was a mixed up kind of Sermon but
it was very interesting" added the
maiden.
But any attempt to fathom the mind
of a congregation is usually fraught
with danger. A priest who had deliv-
cred what seemed to him a striking
sermon was anxious to ascertain it's eff
feet on his flock "Was the sermon to-
day to yr likin', PATTI" he inquired of
one Of them. "Throth, y'r reverence, it
was grand sermon intirely," said Pat,
with such genuine admiration that his
reverence felt moved to investigate fur

more than another that seemed to take

erence's parseverance-the way we wint
over the same thing agin and agin and

The news from the Free State seems 70 point
TO early and decisive lighting in the Roode
Bergen north Of Basutoland. where the de-
spatches state that Gen. De Wet Is now COM
pletely hemmed In by the British. The valley
In which his whole force Is laagered Is described
as having Ave outlets. two Of which are now
blocked, while British troops were moving up
to close the three remaining passes. Gen. De
Vets force Is variously estimated at from six
TO ten thousand strong, the former being the
moro probable II II Is not exaggerated. He
has however. q fair proportion OF guns. This
situation Is extremely critical for the Free
Staters. and 1t will be very interesting to see
what the denouement will be.
Reconnaissance sent out from Pretoria by
Lord Roberts have established the presence Of
large bodies OF Beers Immediately north Of the
range Of hills behind the city with a strong force
Of artillery. and the impression seemed to be
that they were meditating a general attack on
