CONVINCING.

An IrishmaD somewhat under the infiu-
ence of liquor ambling towards home on
recent evening, happened to pass a
church. and. being attracted by the sound
of music, paused for while and then
staggered towards the entrance.
With his natural bump of caution, how
ever, he locked up at the spire to see that
the proper kind Of cross, was on it, for to
the mind Of most good Catholics it would
be almost a sacrilege to go into Prot
estant church. He saw the cross, which
apparently satisfied his scruples, and he
went in, sitting down in a pew near the
door.
The heat being somewhat oppressive, he
fell asleep.
After the service had ended, the sexton
began at the altar to turn out the lights
Coming down the aisle, he tripped over
the foot Of the sleeping man in the pew,
and. looking down, diagnosed the case in
moment.
He gave the sleeping man shake and
said, See here, my good man, wake up
and get out Of here at once. You are in
the wrong place, anyway-this is not your
church,
The Irishman sat up, rubbed his eyes,
and, developing an argumentive strain,
said in a rather quick. cultural voice:
1T amt my church? Whose church is
it if it amt nne?''
This is the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
Its no SIGH thing.'
II tell you it is, and you must get out
of here
He Strengthened himself up and, point
ing wayering finger towards the altar,
said:
isn't that the statue of st. Joseph up
there on the right!'
The sexton was forced to reply in the
affirmative.
Amt that the Virgins statue on the
left? 2"
Yes" replied the sexton.
What is that in the center?,
THAT is the statue Of our Saviour"
The Irishman, with look of mingled
triumph and contempt, said, looking the
sexton as nearly in the eye as he could:

Gen. Blunt having been informed of

they were surrendered by their Sergeant
Major-every officer being down. either

From the fact of his gathering men and
material at Fort Gibson it was evident
that he was contemplating move against
