the church, and therefore of the pope
as her visible head, may, If not on his
guard, give gratuitous offense and ex-
cite unnecessarily hostility against the
papacy. Yet what he aims at doing is
necessary to be done, and if he does
his best not to be gratuitously offens
i've, he cannot be justly censured.
My friend, the editor of Brownson's
Review, evidently believes that, in
these times, it is more necessary to as
sert the authority of the church in re-
gard to temporals, in order to lead back
the age to morality in politics, than it
is to labor to explain away that au-
thority or to make it appear as a mat
ter of small moment: although, if at
tentively and understood, 1 think it will
be found that he sufficiently qualities
his wrong statements, and qualities
them as far as possible without wholly
defeating his purpose. The misfortune
is that his readers. overlooking or dis
approving the object he has especially
in view, being themselves chiefly anx-
ious, it may be, to disarm prejudice,
pay no attention to the explanations
and qualifications he never fails to
offer. so that as / am aware, and which
if duly considered, would quiet the
most susceptible among his Catholic
brthren.
For my own part, agree with him
in both his doctrine and his policy.
Moreover, as a Catholic, L believe my
church one in time as we'll as in space;
her honor in any past age is as near
and as dear to me as her honor in the
present. 1 cannot concede that she
modifies her doctrines as time pro-
ceeds, that she does not know her
powers as well in one age as in an
other, or that her practice in any age
can be held by Catholic as repre-
hensible, or as justifiable only by the
opinions of the times. / do not believe
that Rome has ever abandoned a doc
trine which she has once held or ia
vored, or that she has ever disavowed
spiritual claim which she has ever
once insisted upon. The history of the
church is before the world, and must
be accepted in what is unpopular to-
day as we'll as in what is popular.
While, therefore, 1 concede, nay, con-
tend, that the state is Independent and
supreme, in the sense that it has no SUI
perior and holds from no other. in it's
own order, I shall insist that it is sub
ordinate and dependent in relation to
the spiritual power

Where did your fish come FROM"

Follow that road down to the river
and you will find a fishing place. Put
that long bushy tail of yours in the
water. Wait until the fish bite, then
snatch them OUT
The bear ran down to the river and
did Just as the fox had told him, but
the fishing place froze over while the
bear waited for the fish to bite. The
bear did not know this, for his back
was turned to the water. 1t was a very
cold day, and the bear thought he
would walk and get warm. He tried to
get up and his tail broke off short in

The bear ran so fast that he found

To Delinouents.

In several exchanges are printed the
following decisions" of the United
States supreme court. which refer to
delinquent and dishonest subscribers to
periodicals:
1.-Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scriptions.
Eff subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals the pub
Usher may continue to send them until
all arrearages are paid.
3.-If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the post
office to which they are directed they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and order them discontin-
ued.
4.-If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er, and the papers are sent to the for
mer address, they are held responsible.
5.-The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take papers from the Office.
or removing and leaving them I'M
called for, is prima facie evidence of
intentional fraud.
6.-If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of that time, if they do not wish
to continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it. and
the subscriber will be held responsible
until an express notice, with payment
of all arrearages, is sent to the pub
Usher
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription
to run along for some time unpaid, and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused. -
and have postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same as for theft.

English Kings Buried in France.

Negotiations are in progress between
the English and the French govern
ments with the object of the transfer
to Great Britain of the remains of the
English king, Henry II. of King Rich
ard Occur de Lion and of his queen,
Eleanor, and of Queen Isabella, the
| consort of King John, all of whom are
entombed in the abbey church of Fon-
teyrault. The church is no longer used
for divine worship, but as a prison, the
nave having been converted into four
floors of dormitories.
The tombs, surmounted by the recum-
bent effigies of the five royal person
ages in question, and which have been
! subjected to a good many indignities,
notably at the time of the great revo-
luton, have already on two previous
occasions been asked of the French
government by England. In 1817-that
| is to say, two years after the battle of
Waterloo-King George ", then prince
regent, was informed by the French
government, in reply to a request for
the tombs, that the authorities of the
department of Maine ct Loire did not
care to part with them.
Later on, in 1S4S, King Louis Philippe
offered them to Queen Victoria, and
they were about to be removed to Eng
which drove King Louis Philippe and
his family into English exile.
Once more have negotiations been in
progress, and the French government
has, it is understood, arranged to pre-
sent these tombs of his ancestors to
King Edward VII, who will find fit
ting resting place for them in West
minister abbey. Perhaps in course of
time King Edward may likewise be sue
cessful in obtaining from the French
government the tomb and the remains
of King William the Conqueror, which,
as every American tourist in Normandy
knows, are one of the principal features
of interest at Caen.
Aside from the fact that these tombs
of English kings in France attract tour
lists, and are therefore source of some
profit to the localities in which they are
situated, it is difficult to understand
what value republic such as France
can possibly attach to the tombs of
foreign monarchs on its soil, and it
cannot be denied that it would be more
appropriate that these 200 year old
stone monuments of royalty should rest
in the ancient abbey of Westminster
among the other kings and queens of
England than in a building in France
now used as Jail for criminals.

Story of a Giant.

A little girl aged Informed her
mother that she knew beautiful story
about a giant. Would you like to hear
IT, mamma?" she asked.
Well then" she continued, "once
mere was a great big ugly giant, and
ne was very fond of eating little girls.
One day as he was walking along
through the woods he met two little

made up a horrid face, and said she

No Thoroughbreds on Thrones.
(Cor. Butte Miner


1t is often hurled at the face of the
Catholics that the presence of the Cath
oiic hierarchy IN country amounts to
the presence of a foreign power in it;
but L find that, with the exception CT
France and the United States and also
of the Asiatic powers. the nations OF
the world are ruled by foreigners.
The princes of the houses of Bourbon
and France have only in them one-six-
tieth of French blood, the rest is Ger
man, Spanish or Italian.
The imperial pretender of France,
Prince Victor Napoleon, is hardly a
Frenchman, since two-thirds of his
blood comes from Savoy and Wurtem-
berg.
The king of Spain is our-fifths an
Austrian The king of Italy is half a
Frenchman and half an Italian, and
his descendants will owe one-half of
their blood to Montenegro. The en-
peror of Austria has Bavarian as well
as italian blood in him. The king of
Sweden and Norway is half a Spaniard
and half a Frenchman
The king of Greece is a Dane. The
king of Servia is half a Russian The
reigning prince of Bulgaria is no Bull
garian he is half a German and half a
Frenchman.
The emperor of Russia has one
fifth of Russian blood in him. The
other four-fifths comes from Denmark,
Germany, Schleswig-H olstein and
Hesse- Darmstadt.
The king of Belgium is no Belgian;
he is half from SaXe-Coburg-G otha
and half a Bourbon Orleans. The
queen of Holland comes from Luxem-
bourg and Prussia. as well as from
Holland The king of England is no
Englishman: he owes his origin to
Sake oburg- Hanover, Normandy and
France.
Finally, the emperor OF Germany is
a Hohenzollern on his fathers side. a
Guelf or a Brunswicl1er on his mothers
and Frenchman through his ances-
tor. Louis de Colighy, a daughter of
the famous admiral who was killed by
order of King Charles * of France,
during the massacre of Saint Bar
tholomew.

ported to the government authorities
| at Topic by Rev. Pablo MARITIME, the
parish priest of Yesca.
He makes the statement, which is
| concurred in by several reliable wit
nesses, that a party of Americans,
headed by an archaeologic expert, who
gave the name of Heverick, arrived at
Yesca several weeks ago and went
from that place into the mountains, ac-
companied by three Mexican guides.
The archaeclogist got his bearings by
means of a chart which he claimed to
nave copied from an Aztec stone tablet
in the national museum in the City of
Mexico. He located a vast cavern in a
mountain near Yesca.
Immense stone images stood about
this chamber. In one end stood a
handsome altar, above which burned a
bright flame, supplied by natural gas
from crevice in the wall. 1t has prob
ably been burning for many centuries.
IN chamber adjoining this main tenn
pie was found a great stone of orna-
ments and utensils belonging to the
Aztecs or some other prehistoric race
Twelve burros were required to
transplant the articles taken from the
cave to San Bias, where they were
shipped to San Francisco, accompanied
by the Americans.

Temperance in ireland.

Amidst all the causes for discourage
ment which present themselves on a
review of the condition of Ireland
the constant drain of emigration, the
government oppression, and the suf-
ferings of the poor-there is a pros
pect which cheers and comforts. It is
the prospect of an Ireland free from
the blight of intemperance The total
abstinence movement is steadily max
ing Roadway, and it is bound to pro-
gress still more rapidly, for the most
representative men in the country are
now lending to it their influence in in
creasing volume. Lately at a meet
ing in Wexford town hall the bishop,
the mayor and the Protestant arch
deason were present, and ZOO persons,
being unable to get in for want of room,
We're turned from the doors. Another
meeting was held at Waterford and
was attended by the bishop, Most Rev
DR.. Sheehan, the high sheriff, thirty
Catholic priests, the clergy of the Prot
testant Episcopal church and Noncon-
formist ministers. A similar union of
hearts was exhibited at a great meeting
in Sligo favored by the presence of
Bishop Clancy and the mayor, and
Dublin has honored itself recently by
quite a number of large gatherings held
for the purpose of promoting the tenn
.perance cause. The sympathy and aid
which the temperance movement is re-
ceiving from bishops, priests and people
may well gladden. the hearts of all its
supporters.

Word Guessing.

This game, which may be played by
any number of children, begins by
choosing word, then guessing what
word has been chosen, in the following
manner: One of the children or the
mother thinks of a word and describes
it by saying, for example, 81 have a
word of five letters; the first is G and
the last is s.
The players are at liberty to begin at
any time, and all at once, if they
choose, and they may ask any number
of questions about the word. which
the leader is obliged to answer as
truthfully as possible without telling
the word. The player guessing the
word first has the privilege of an
nouncing the next one. The most diff
ficult words are those having two dis
tinct meanings, or applications, such
as bark nail, crow, glass, etc.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nephews and Nieces:
Aunt Busy has not much to say this
week, because she is very tired for this
one time. She wants the Ogden boys
to know that her heart and mind will
be with them on Sunday, when they
assist in the dedication of their beauti-
full new church. Aunt Busy is sorry
she can not attend, but Uncle Busy will
be there and he has promised to bring
very fine account of the ceremonies
and the part taken by the dear neph-
ews. Earnest good wishes to you, and
may God bless you all is the sincere
prayer of your loving
AUNT BUSY.

The Baby and It's Swing.

circus was passing through coun-
try town recently, in which were sew
eral elephants. The people stood
watching the procession, when a little
baby, just able to walk, toddled out in
to the road directly in front Of the ele-
plants. Everybody stood, expecting to
see the baby crushed by the big feet
of the elephants. The leader of the
herd picked the baby up with his trunk
and swung it out of danger, depositing
it on the side Of the road, none the
worse for its remarkable ride in the
trunk of an elephant.

HAPPIER and Better.

There are many mysteries in this
world of ours which we cannot under
stand, but one thing seems certain,
namely, that every kind act we do and
every kind word we speak tends to
make our own lives happier aud better,
and we wish this could be permanently
fixed in the mind of every boy and girl
not only in America but the world.

Park City, Nov. %.
Dear Aunt Busy:
1t is such a long time since I wrote
to you that you may have forgotten
all about me. But 1 hope not. What a
beautiful description John Mclaughlin
gives about the Ogden church, I think
he is very intelligent. We have had
our aunties visiting US here from Butte
and Auntie Joe, who was Mrs. Rice, is
dead. She died after leaving here and
returning to Butte. We feel sorry, but
/ know you will say she is not sorry
as you do to all who lose some one
from this world, for heaven. But you
know it is sad, Aunt Busy, don't you?
And now, ] hope you will have this
printed, and I will write often, as 1
have many things to tell you, Your
nephew, WALTER COUGHLIN.
No, indeed. Walter, Aunt Busy has
not forgotten you. She was delighted
TO hear at last from Park City
nephew. Why. oh why, do the Park
City children neglect Aunt Busy? She
is pleased indeed, to know how much
you appreciated the article written by
John Mclaughlin. He is one of Aunt
Busy's own dear boys and she loves to
hear her boys praised. Thank you,
dear, for your kind words.
Aunt Busy deeply regrets your dear
auntie's death. 1t is sad, indeed, Wal
ter but don't you think, dear that
it is consoling to you all that you saw
her before she went to heaven? Death
is always sad, but when the dear ones
die far away without a last word or a
last look. then it is doubly sad. OF
course you feel very sad, but dear little
boy when dear good people go TO
heaven, their happiness and joy far ex-
ceeds our grief, and our grief at times
seems selfish. If ever you are as old,
wise and weary as Aunt Busy, dear
nephew, you viii not consider death as
the greatest misfortune. To many, it
is the only happiness that ever comes
TO them.
