A Sotifhcner Visits th 'Great Catholic University Ni<u* S util Bend, Ind. The Church of the barred Heart. Just beyond the river rises the walls of Notre Dame du Lac” and of the academy of St. Mary's of the HolyCross. On the well kept grounds were a number of pedestals, surmounted by saintly images in all styles of reverential posturing To our left stood the church of “Our Lady of the sacred Heart,"which we enter ed with bared heads. Then a vision burst upon us such as never delighted our e es in America before. We entered by the great altar, end looked down to the grand organ in the , the gallery of the other gable. To our left was the shrine of the Virgin, and under the organ loft stood the cons, s-ionsl. The shape of the building is tbs., of the Latin cross Now we walk down the narrow aisle, and, turning around, gaze up between the double row of antique columns.whose chapters glisten with gold, and stand with delight before the exquisite fres<'oes| of Georgi, an artist brought from Rome to do this delicate lining Then we turn to vie • the lovely frescoes of the transepts. Arcaoes tinted with the azure of the tirguuuent, from which peep the faces of gilded cherubim springing m(v,m capitals of gilded &oorus, from one part of the grand nave. Full life-siz d figures of saints painted on gold, with the warmest colors—peerless in tneir grouping and tinting in the United Slates—occupy the spandrels ot the architecture. Above the lovely arcades are the mo-aics that surround the lancet windows of the clear si .ry last above the ribs of the ceii'ng which spring from clusters of vine f dia.gr Toe q lt!1 religious light entered through sisiued windows, the

perfection of the stainer’s art, and the gift of pious people, chiefly- memorials of departed Joved ones. Softly it lighted up the frescoed saints as well as the colossal forms of the evangelists, with Moses, Jeremiah and Daniel seated on clouds, in which they give a stool even to David! From these delights we raised our eyes to the star-bedecked ceilingof the acuteroof, and with a parting glance at the cherubim, seated in this celestial atmosphere, slowly withdrew from the interior ot this paradise of Christian art and refinement. No power to tongue or pen could have persuaded us that such a gem can be seen on the banks of the St, Joseph river, in the State of Indiana,and we scarce believe our eyes as passing out we stood under the portrait of Pio Nono,and took a farewell glance at the wonderful window of the eastern transept, which represents the pentecost day. A gentleman well known in polities presented this window, whose value reaches thousands of dollars, and it, with all the other beautiful windows of this basilica, were painted by the nuns of Le Mans, 1h la" belle France. But ere we stepped over the threshold we suffered a shock that reminded us of Europe Behold, they have relics here, too. This time not the crown of thorns, nails, pieces of the cross, etc., but the bones of two saints taken from the catacombs, buried under the alter. Aye but in the sacristy you can find pieces of that miraculously increased cross, as well as some of the curious drapery said to have been worn by the Virgin. We are not at all curious.— Nashville American.

RIDING HABITS. Directions 'that May be Useful but That Sound Awfully MysteriousThe latest fashions in riding habits require that they shall be fitted by a tailor, though a clever woman maydo the work herself by attending closely to this discription of the peculiar cut: On the left -side, in front, is a gore taken across to make room for the knee. This gore is not straight across, but forms a curve, making a kind of jacket for the knee to fit iu. Theside breadth is like that o£jm ordinary skirt, but the back one is peculiar in many respects. First, there is a small gore ou tlie u; per part, which terminates and commences again on the middle of the skirt. These gores have the same object as the one over the knee—that is, to form a space for the figure, allowing for the skirt to set properly without adding to its lullness. Otherwise the wearer might be bursted out of the saddle, ou the principle of the boy whose trousers were made with no fullness in the seat, and therefore pushed him off the doorsteps every time he bent to get down decorously. Fashion dictates that the habit must fit snugly from neck to toes and be made from heavy cloth. Tbis necessitates the easement which I have described. The skirt is perfectly tight around the waist and mounted on a piece of silk galloon. On the right side, between the front and back breadth, it opens, and is fastened by buttons and buttonholes, and on the inside of this open part is the pocket. In front is a band of elastic, for the foot to pass through, like a stirrup, to keep the Skirt down. Were it not for this the dress would push up in riding. Still, that would be no great disaster, for underneath are trousers, half leather and half cloth. They are ! closed and buttoned on each side of the hips, something like the old fashioned, flap-fronted breeches of our granddadies The upper part is buckskin, and the legs are cloth, like the dress. The waist has two gores iu front and a small side piece. The style is to be as flatbreasted as possible when on horseback. The side piece in the back is very narrow. The back has no seam down the centre, and forms a small basque, with the sids pieces falling over it and fastened on the inside of the pleat. The side pieces of the back and the back itself are thus joined by being placed one over the other. The buttons should be very small and round. The tight sleeves button over at the wrist. On the lower part of the waist behind are three tongues with buttonholes, fastened to buttons placed a little below the belt of the skirt. The same arrangement is on the s am under the arm. By tbis means the waist remains in the same place, no matter what movement there may be in riding. Many women use fancystyles for riding habits, but such things do not last, and the plain dress is always elegant. Skirts have no more long trains as they formerly had. For a moderately tall figure the long side of the skirt is about a yard and a half, while the short one is rather more than a yard. — * The embarrassments under which charitaby disposed eople frequently labor are shown by the ease of a poor family applying for relief in Erie. The mother came on a wintry day. clad in thin calico, and received 1 twelve dollars with which to minister to the necessities of her poveriy- ■ stricken household. The poor woman was so pleased with this stroke of good luck that she immediately invested 1 seven dollars In a nice new bonnet. ’ Some time ago a Bucks county charitable committee gave a poor family firteen dollars. Tlie family consisted of a mother and three good-looking children- Ou receiving the money [ they went in a body to the photo- ■ grapher’s, in order to secure a picture ’ showing how happy they looked while they had plenty of cash. They felt 1 like millionaires as long as the appropriation lasted, which, of course, was not a great while. In Nevada a lib era! man, who took a notion to do a good deed, gave a melancholy one an order on the grocer for twenty-five dollars, payable in goods. The liberal man expected the melancholy m in to make >he best use of this iu providing creature comforts for his suffering family. Instead of tbis the prodigal beneficiary succeeded iu worryingout of the grocer ten dollars in cash and ing-ttiug from him fifteen dollars’ worth of wine and chocolate. Such cases are enough to make the liberal look closely at their cash before parting with it* or else follow it sharply to see what goes with it. Dr. Samuel D. Gross, for tlie past twenty-six years professor of surgery at the Jefferson medical college, in Philadelphia, hM resigned on account of advancing age. Half of the business portion of Dayton, Wyoming, burned.

I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the small one. 1 have used ten bottles. The horse is extremely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a won derful medicine. It is a new th : ng here, but if it does for all what ithas done for H« its sale will be very great. Respectfully yours, CHAS E PARKER. KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE. Acme, Mich, Dec 28. 1879.

J B J Kendall, MD, Dear Sir ihe particular case on which 1 used your Kendrll’s Spavin Cure was a m i ligu mt ankle sprain of sixteen months stan ling. I ha.l tried many things, out in vain, lour •‘Kendall Spavin Cure put the foot to the ground again, and,' Tor the first time sin hurt, in a natural position. For a family liniment it excells anything weever used Yours truly, REV M P HELL. Pastor M E church, Patten’s Mills, N Y. Bakersfield, Vt, Dec 23, 1879. B J Kendall S Co, Gents—l wish to add ms testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment, “Kendall's Spavin Cure.” In the spring of 1872 1 slipped on the ice and sprained my right limb at the knee joint I was very lame and at limes suffered the most excruciating pain. I wore a baud- | age on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would paiu me very touch. In April 1878 1 began to think I should b“ a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall s Spavin Cure" thought 1 would try it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once They* n left me and lias no: troubled me since. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend -Kendall s Spavine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mas. J. Boutill. KENDALLS SPAVIN CURE.
