This Insult and hindrance, imposed on

purpose to dissolve this parish from its
lawful and alienable connection with
the Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States and from the Diocese OF
Illinois. of which l am acknowl-

The Board oi Education, last evening,


by an unanimous vote Of those present,
adopted report adverse to the proposl-


tion of the Catholic Committee praying
for separate schools for Catholic children.
The report Of the committee argued that
systems of public education, in order
that instruction might be free to all, con.
templatcd only the incubation Of sound
morals, those general maximS of right
and wrong about which there can be no
differences, and such q scientific and lit.
erary training as to fit the child for the
duties OF citizenship; leaving the incul'
cation of religious beliefs or creeds to
such special agencies as parents or guar
dians may elect. They held further that
the formation Of separate schools under
instruction oI any particular sect, must
sectarlanize all the schools and destroy
their usefulness for purposes Of public
instruction, For want Of room we are
unable to print the report this morning.

ADROTTLY META correspondent
of the Herald and PresbyfeI. writing
from Minnesota, tells the following
story:


1 have picked up a '1ittle story"
which l think too good reproof for dis
turbers of the peace in churches to be
lost. a presiding elder of the United
Brethren Church was preaching in this
same neighbOrhOOd, and was much an
noyed by persons talking and laughing
He paused, looked at the disturbers, and
said, "I am always afraid to reprove
those who misbehave in church. In
the early part of my ministry | made
great mistake. As | was preaching, a
young man who sat just before me was
constantly laughing, talking and max
ing uncOuth grimaces. L paused and
administered severe rebuke. After
the close of the services one of the Offi-
cial members came and said to me.
Brother, you made great mistake.
That young man you reprOved is an
idiot Since then L have always been
afraid to reprove those who misbehave
in church lest | should repeat that mis-
take and reprove another idiot" Dur
ing the rest of that service at least there
was good order.

One of the previous conditions of the
wager was that you should receive no
previous knowledge of the final turn of
the affair, but were to be left alone in
blank amazement. o, Judith, it was
cruel to treat you so, but had made a
resolve that on the morrow l would
come and claim you as my lawful wife,
and command your fathers esteem and
your mothers good will.

John Smith and gone to the Pacific

stead of being married to him you were
waiting wearily for me, how gladly

letter of explanation placed under the
boulder by our dear bower door. That
was all. You did not reply, and when
the man who afterwards became your
master told me that you were already
his wife, gave you up all for lost.


"Now, Judith, after all that I have
told you, will you let me come to you?
Can you meet the man who once served
for months as convict under sentence
which belonged of right to another, but
whose soul is pure and knows no stain

At recent meeting of the Boston So- ciety of Medical Sciences, as reported in the Medical aud Surgical Journal, the question was discussed of the protection acquired by the human skin against the action of certain animal poisons, after repeated inoculation, one gentleman claiming that the frequent inoculation of some poisons gave gradual immunity from any poisonous effects. He in- stanced the effects of mosquito-bites, which he thought were more severe in children than in adults, much more severe in foreigners who had recently arrived in this country than in natives, and in support of this spoke of whole family, recently arrived from England, which he had just seen, upon the mem bers of which the bites of mosquitoes had produced Q violent eruption of the skin resembling pemphigus. He thought that the immunity derived from frequent inoculatiohs was analogous to that from vaccine matter against voriola. He said that he considered it as established that poisonous snakes were not killed by their own poisons insects, however, he said, did not enjoy this immunity, as wasps and bees were known to kill each other by their poison. He was support ed by another gentleman, who said that in regions where black flies abound, persons after few years are not affected by the poison. This immunity is not obtained in one season, but only after Q prolonged residence such persons are bitten as at first, but escape all the disagreeable effects from which 8 non- resident suffers.

After the many revelations recently published on the adulteration of tea; our tea drinkers ought to be prepared for worse news than that they are, according to the discovery of French savant, consuming quantity of leather in their favorite beverage, sufficient in the course of year, for the manufacture of a stout pair of boots. The consumption of this wholesome article of food is not confined to the drinkers of "lie tea, but includes even such as indulge in the most costly and genuine qualities, supposing them to mix the beverage with milk or cream. It is to this most innocuous of drinks that we are indebted for the addition to our cherished evening draught of an ingredient proverbial for its indigest- ibility. Tea leaves contain a portion of tannic acid, which in the liquid state is suspended in solution. Milk, on the other hand, contains a proportion of white of egg, and the two constituents being the main ingredients of leather, readily combine on mixing the fluids, adding by the globules or leather-like substances which they form to the opa, city of the compound liquid. We do not apprehend that tbis discovery will deter any of our readers from taking their accustomed allowance of tea. It may possibly, by the scientific explana- tion of the process, even add Q new relish to their enjoyment. At any rate they onght to be thankful to learn what excellent powers of digestion they are gifted with, enabling them to digest shoe-leather, though even this may be no novel intelligence after the convinc- ing demonstrations furnished by their butchers.

A Scotch journal says that whoever sleeps uncomfortably cool will get sick, To hoist the window sky high when the mercury is at zero is an absurdity. The cooler sleeping apartment is the more unhealthy does it become, because cold condenses the carbonic acid formed by the breathing of the sleeper. It settles near the floor, and is re-breathed, and if in very condensed form he will die before morning. Hence we must be governed by circumstances the first thing is, you must be comfortably warm during, sleep, otherwise. you are not re- freshed, and inflammation of the lungs may De engendered, and life destroyed within very few days. An open door and an open fireplace are sufficient for ordinary purposes in cold weather. .

It is the most important from tue 1st of August until several severe frosts have been noticed, to sleep with all external doors and windows closed, because the cool air of sunset causes the condensation of the poisonous emanations which were caused by the heat of monday sun to rise far above the earth. This conden- sation makes the air "heavy "by the great qualification of the carnations by cold; these resting on the surface of the earth ill the more concentrated and malignant form. they are breathed into the lungs and swallowed into the sto- mach, corrupting and poisoning the blood with great rapidity. By daylight these condensations are made so com pact by the protracted coolness of the night they are too near the surface of the earth to be breathed into the sys- tenn but ds the sun begins to ascend these heavy condensatio11s begin to rise to the height of several feet above the ground, and are freely taken into the system by every breath and swallow hence, the hours of sunrise and sunset are the most unhealthy hours of the twenty-four in the localities named and noontide, when the sun is the hottest, Is the most healthy portion of the day, be. cause the miasma is so much rarlfied that 1t ascends rapidly to the upper re gions.

1T will tell you story" says writer, Gin regard to women who eat dainty morsels in the absence of their lords. There was @ lady who had Magpie in 8 cage, which talked of everything which it saw done. Now it happened that the lord of the household preserved large eel in 8 pond, and kept it very carefully in order to give it to some of his lords or of his friends, in case they should visit him. So it happened that the lady said to her female attendant that it would be good to eat the great eel !; and accordingly they ate it, and agreed that they would tell their lord that the otter had eaten it, And when the lord returned, the pie began to say to him, My lord, my lady has eaten the eel Then the lord went to his pond, and missed the eel, and he went into the house, and asked his wife what had become of it. She thought to excuse herself easily but he said that he knew all about it, and that the pie had told him. The result was that there was great quarrelling and trouble in the house but when the lord was gone away, the lady and her female attendant went to the pie, and plucked all it's feathers from it's head, saying, You told about the eel And so the poor pie was quite bald. But from that time forward, when it saw any people who were bald, or had large foreheads, the pie said to them, An you told about the eel.

Lopez has, lbeen executed in Havana. tial he was garroted at the side of the Castle of the Principe and outside the city. He saluted the crowd, showing the shackles which pinioned him, when at the foot of the steps leading to the platform, and the officers in charge of him-volunteers-fearing that he might address the people, hurried him up the steps, wounded as he was. When he sat down on the bench it was found to be too low to allow his neck to come up to the fatal iron collar. The second time he sat down he was too high. At last, after the fifth attempt, the garrote was adjusted round his throat. The in- strument was so badly arranged that it broke on the first twist given to the screw by the executioner, and then the victim had to be lifted up, while with his head hanging in the collar the gar rote was repaired. When Lopez sat down the seventh time, he seemed to strain his nerves for one supreme effort, and lifting his hands to Heaven, yelled forth in voice heard by the whole as- sembled crowd, "Death to Spain !'' What followed is conceivable only of cannibals. Two volunteer officers as- cended to the platform, and to prove that their victim was really dead, they lifted him from the bench several times, they made the executioner give several more twists to the screw, and took the face of the corpse-which was tn undis- tinguishable mass of bloody flesh. with the eyes protruding from the sockets in their hands, turning it toward the people.

CHLoRoFoRM D1D IT.-Dr. Goldsmith of Rutland, Vermont, relates an incl dent occurring in his army experience, illustrating the power of chloroform in detecting feigned contraction of the limbs. While in Jefferson Hospital there came Q man who had run the gauntlet of several hospitals, having been discharged on the ground that Q contraction of his arm, which was bent up so that it nearly touched his shoul- der or breast, was incurable. It was so rigidly and firmly fixed that could not with any strength (and the doctor is @ "heavy weight '') which seemed to me not to risk the breaking of his arm, straighten it. I directed the nurses to watch him at night, and go to his bed side, and suddenly try to straighten it. They uniformly reported that they were unable to accomplish the desired result He was then allowed to pass out and visit all the rum shops at will, in the hope that under the influence of alcoholic stimulants the case might be solved, but 1t found no solution. I then put him under the influence of chloroform, and as seon as the chloroform began to act his arm was strengthened out, and I tied board on the back of it, and when he awoke and looked at his arm, he said, "Well, doctor, I suppose I will have to go back to my regiment ?" I Ireplied, That's just where you will have to go, my friend" He went.
