SENATOR KNOX's CREDENTIALS.

Governor Pennypacker recently en-
hve1ed the proceedings of the senate in
a manner both quaint and original, says
the Washington correspondent of
the New York Times. The occasion
was the swearing in of the two new
senators, Quay, and Ex-Governor Muir
ray Crane. who succeeds the Senator
Hoar.
Senator Lodge presented the creden-
tials Of his new colleague, and Senator
Penrose performed a like ceremony for
Mr.. Knox. As the reading clerk raced
through tine stately phrases of the Gre
dentials furnished for MIR. Knox there
was ripple of laughter through the
hail. The credentials ended with the
following sentence:
He is therefore to have and to hold
the said office, together with all the
rights, powers and privileges thereunto
belonging or by law in any wise apper-
tanning, until the next meeting of the
legislature of the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. if he shall so long behave
himself well.
Across the senate chamber among the
lawyers of the body there was distinct
smile of amusement, no doubt at the
thought that the governor could have

GENEROUS CATHOLICS

There is vast multitude of Catholics
whose shrinking modesty and retiring
disposition has hitherto allowed them to
90 unnoticed-whose right hand does
not know what the left hand has done,
and it is probably good thing for the
right hand, or else it would be scarlet
with continuous blushing. We refer to
that large class OF Catholics who when
the basket is handed around for Sunday
collection, depOsite therein the munifi-
cent sum OF one cent-one round. beau
riful, copper colored cent-with
an artistic Indian head stamped upon
it. And after this they depart from the
house Of God with the sweet conscious
ness that they have done a great and
noble deed, that they have performed
their fall christian duty towards God
and His church.
The writer has observed the pheno-
msnon OF copper bottomed collection
box for many years now, and he has
often wondered whether it was at the
earnest solicitation Of these generous
Catholics that the government di.con-
tinued minting two cent pieces. There
was a time when an occasional dime
glittered among the ruby coin, but up
on reflection the conclusion is reached
that 1t must have been dropped by mis-
take, the nearsighted donor probably
imagined il to be a three cent piece
This variety of coin has likewise been
discontinued.
