COURT OF APPEALs.-Pursuant to notice
given. the court met on yesterday in the
Hastings Courtroom, City Hall. All Of the
Judges were present.


There were very few persons in attend
ance.


Judge Moncure said that it was not the
desire of the court to render their decision
at such sad time of bereavement, but il
was not optional with them, and the great
suffering Of the unfortunate ones demanded
that this matter should at once be settled,
andhe therefore felt it incumbent upon him
to read the decision of the court in the ha-
bels cOrp1LS cases.

The Roman correspondent Of the


New York Herald Of May Sd puts the
infallibility question in the following
shape:


Your readers will be anxious to know
what tactics the partisans Of the de &C.
elesia doctrines and the infallibility
dogma in the council will adopt, now
that the French Governmenthas spoken
50 firmly, although so respectfully, Of
the consequences that would attend
their proclamation by the Ecumenical
Assembly. The proposed declaration
of relation between Church and State is
too much in harmony with the doc
trines of the celebrated Syllabus TO
haye much chance Of success against
the decided disapprobation OF the most
influential Catholic nation on the Con-
tinent, whose example will no doubt be
followed by that Of most other coun-
tries.


Bnt it is possible that a middle course
may he adopted TO save something Of the
Popes decOrum and some fragment of
the infallibility dogma apart from the
other portions of the de ccclesia schema.
At the Council of Trent, in consequence
of the long raging polemic between the
Franciscan and Dominican orders for
and against the dogma of the Immacu-
late Conception of the Virgin, the faith
ers decreed that thcnceforth the dogma
should not be spoken or written against.
Its definition was reserved for the reign
Ing pontitI, Plus TX.


Ii is hintcd that a similar policy may
be adopted in the present emergency,
and without going so far as TO define the
dogma of the Popes personal inialIi-
bility, the Ecumenical fathers may pro
hibit the faithful from opposing il either
in speaking or writing.

A TEXAS paper says that when General Reynolds received the dispatch announcing the reconstruction of the State, he read 1t and handed it to a citizen with the remark :: {" I feel as if a great weight had been lifted from me; thank God am through with the heaviest contract ever undertook l have done the best could l have clear con science l wish the people of Texas the greatest prosperity '-Er-haRgs.

 The good people of Texas and the entire country should not soon forget Gen. Reynolds. He has had a difficult task to perform, and has performed it in a gentlemanly manner. Had he so willed, he might have managed affairs in Texas as Ames did in Mississippi, and secured for himself seat in the United States Senate. But, he scorned to do so, knowing full well that he was not entitled to it, and would not be acceptable to the people of Texas. All honor to General Key holds. He has accomplished an unnecessary unconstitutional job, with great credit tC himself, and considerable ease to the people of Texas.

telling him that such behavior was impo-

In 1913 I had been in business a year
or so, and was beginning to pick up
stray cases. One night in the small
hours the night-bel rang family over
my head. l wanted work in those days,
and its ClamOr was not quito so RltOgeth-

so 1 jumped up, and putting on my
wrapper, opened the window and called
aloud to know who wanted me. Hear
ing no answer, and the night being ut
terly dark, I slipped on my clothes and
went down to the door. To my surprise
there was no one visible, and the street
was black and silent. Annoyed at the
impertinence of my visitor, I went sui
lenly back to bed. The next night, at
the same hour Of two, the bell rang
again, and as before, family, like the
ringing of child. The night was cloud
less and the moon brilliant, but no one
was ON the steps or near. Instantly I
was possessed with q strange impression
of terror as I closed the window and
stood a moment thoughtful before going
back to bed. had scarcely fallen asleep
when the bell rang once more. On this
occasion I dressed instantly and went
down to the door. As before, there was
no one in sight. Still in doubt, / went
out and explored in vain the dark street
and the nearer shadows. You may
laugh, Colonel, but the thing wasn't
pleasant,


The next night reolved to sit up and
catch the distuber Providing myself,
therefore, with a good stick, left the

Father must not know it, so after much

by a rock away in the meadow. No

and, after fruttless search, it was con-

Years after, when the boys were grown

The rheumatic sire, leaning on a poorer

the sons, who to his utter ranazementdu dug
up the cane, gOld-head and all. Strange
