Ifthfoh nots perfectly true story, it ought to be, for It has lo do with a nubieet or region coneeming which the Catholic clergy claim great exactitude of knowledge, and it was told at an English dinner p-rty, where were gathered some famous • people, by a jaudsome Irish priest, in a voice to wile the bird off the bush. Sister Marv Placida died after a life of such fervent faith and good works, and such surpassing personal sanctity, that, without a moment’s delay, she was sent straight to heaven. ing .is gate, she found it closed, but hear t within a sound as of some one marching up and down close at hand, and clanking heavy k<*y« as he went. The nun knocked timidly. “Who’s there?” growled a gruff voice. ' . x.. “It’s only me, sir,” returned the little sister. “And who’s ‘me’?” “Sister Mary Placida, from the Nazareth convent.” - “Ah! Bister Mary Placida, you’re expected!’ Walk in! and the doors were riung wide open, and the nun saw St Peter 1 eckoning her forward tn the most impetuous way. Hut she saw nobody else, and nothing extraordinary, as she had fancied even Heaven’s ante-chamber must be. “Where shall I go?" she asked anxiously,' “Oh, anywhere you like. Make yourself entirely at home!” replied St.Teter, resuming his sentinel march. But the poor nun, frightened out of her life by finding herself really safe in Heaven, and a little upset, too, with the bald character of her reception there shrank back into a niche in the wall near the gate and watched St. Peter. Presently another knock was heard at the door—a knock as from one ofDahte’s “certain people of importance.” and different indeed from that given by the sister’s trembling little hand. "Who is it?” again bluffly demanded St. Peter. ■ “X John, archbishop of— !” was the answer; and then the sister knew die resounding knock had been given by the head oi a crosier, and that the suppliant for admission was a mighty prelate whom meu had reckoned as noly as he was powerful. Sc. Peter did not instantly open the door. Instead, be made vehement signals toward some distant heights, and soon came a great rushing-of wings, and, behold! a troop of angels, blowing silver trumpets, waving palm branches, and filling the air with alleluias, and the chant: Justus at palma rtorebit-. ticut cednu Libani multiplicabitur: plantatim in domo Domini, in atriit domut Dei nottri. Then St. Peter unfastened the gate* and tlie joyjul host of angels ana saints bore off the archbishop, and the poor little nun was left unnoticed in ner niche. Her heart swelled. Was this the heaven she had worked for, hoped for, lived a life of martyrdom for ? *

She approached St. Peter, for bluff as he was he looked benignant, too. . “Holy Father St. Peter,” she began, “may I ask you a question?” “Surely, my daughter, a dozen of them," “Holy father, I have a trouble, and would‘know if it is a wicked temptation.” “Say on, my child.” “Holy father, are there distinctions in.heaven as upon earth? Now, lam only a simple nun, but all my life upon earth I strove, in my obscurity, for heaven. I hid myself, died to myself, as far as I was able. I did the little humble things, careless that no one knew or reckoned, so sure was I our Lord would remember, and heaven would pay all that earth cost. “In the world I was the last and least of creatures; hut thou knowest K holy father, I was adjudged, by God’s great mercy, fit to come .hither without passing through pergatory; yet here noltody came to meet me, iiobody noticed me. When the .Archbishop came you summoned a choir of angels and crowds of saints, and what a welcome he had! Is it to be here as on earth—the congratulations, the splendors, the acclamations for great and lofty ones, and no place, no thought, no greeting for the humble server who has toiled to the limit of her measure?" “I will tell you how it is,, dear child,” said St. Peter. “The truth is that such as you are no strangers here. Heaven belongs to you and is full of you, and we take your coining as a matter of course. But an Aichbishop! We so seldom get one of them that ’tis no wonder we make a fuss!"

During the last year there has been an undoubted increase in the spread and virulence of contagious diseases throughout the country. The present ijeign of small-pox is rapidly extending outside of the large cities to the neighboring towns and villages. An interesting article incur local columns describes the metliods employed by our Board of Health to deal with this dreaded disease. Scarlet fever has been more than ordinarily fatal, and diphtheria has almost invariably followed it. Even, the comparatively harmless ailment of measles has put on an unwonted malignancy, and in some of the inland cities has* literally swept down the whole population, proving fatal in a large percentage of cases.

The reaseu of this increased malignancy probably may partly be found in unfavorable climatic conditions, butthe principal cause is undoubtedly the criminal carelessness in the handling of individual cases by both nurses and physicians. A feeble effort made recently by our municipal authorities to prevent attendance at the funerals of persons dead of small-pox, scarlet fever, or diphtheria is the only step made in the right direction. The law enforcing isolation even in the first disease is evaded both by physicians and the families in which the cases occur; the patients (each one of whom is for the time a death-breeding cen tre) are permitted not only to remain in the middle of healthy communities/ but the communities are not w arned. Families are suffered to nurse malignant cases of smati-pox and scar let fever in ' one room of a small house, and in others to sell cigars or newspapers, or to go to and from carrying the gems of contagion with them. The fatal effect es such Indivdiual ignorance and carelessness.in this matter was shown in

Philadelphia a few years ago. A pingid case of small-pox occurred in a crowded suberb; the bed on which the patient died Was burned in the street on a heavy, foggy night Forty cases resulted in oneblock, and thence the disease spread over the city until 8,000 deaths in one winter were the fatal fruit of that single act. There can be no doubt that to islolate a case of contagious disease, or even to proclaim the faXJt of its presence, is a difficult and disagreeable experience to a private familv, and even sometimes the cause of great pecuniary loss. Hence, both authorities and*physipians wink at the dodging of sanitary regulations. The patient is hidden in a back room, turned out as soon as possible, neither house nor clothing is disinfected, and everybody hopes the disease will mercifully go no further. Nothing can be easier than to put a stop to the wholesale slaughter by this class of diseases. With svmotlc bidden in certain auouw couuiLions or me atmosphere, i toe poison be Killed by j

The Spread of Small-pox, etc.

• . < ■■ within the reach of t e poorest. It is so tronbleaome to do this that it only will be done when legally enforced here as it is In England. Anothea means of putting a stop to the march of these destroyers would be the establishnienkin each of our large cities of A.' hospital for contag-r ious diseases which should be in no sense charitable, but maintained in such a manner that any member of a resjiectable family attacked by a contagious fever could, on payment of a reasonable sum, secure as good attendance, skilful nursing and other comforts as if he ramained at home. Buch a thing is practicable in London, but here removal to the pest house in every city fejuktly regarded as equivalent to dismissal to the coffin and the worm. If it were practicable here, di-ease would be kept out of hundreds of private families. * _ . Our Catholic friends held last week a solemn feast to St. Blasius, and thousands of supplicants, infected with diphtheria and uninfected, came to have their throats blessed by candles and the aid of the saint. Weha/e nothing to say concerning this act of faith, except to suggest that it would be wise in their -teachers to explain that a reasonable amount of care on their own part, good drainage, and disinfectants would doubtless hold up the bands of good St. Blasius in putting a stop to the fatal scourge.— New York Tribune. -

A Scene in Congress.

Bob Burdette talks thus: My son, it may be that, as you grow older, you will oe seized with an ambition to serve your country in the halls of congress. To this end you should begin now to acquire that polish and easy elegance of language which will enable you to shine in debate. Read the daily papers, and thus familiarize yourseif witn the language and manners of the American legislator. Cut out the official report of the great financial debate between Mr. Cleaver and Mr. Snark, that it may be to you a text-book upon monetary matters. Mr. Cleaver. In presenting this bill for the issue of 400*000,000 copper dollars per diem, Mr. Speaker, I am moved to say— Mr. Snark. The honorable gentleman is a dirty liar, and dassen’t take it up. Air. Cleaver. Sir, Mr. Speaker, if the honorable gentleman doesn’t take that back in two shakes of a sheep’s tail, I will kick the everlasting stuffing out of him. * The Speaker. The gentlemen must be careful, in the beat of debate, not to overstep the bounds of courtesy and parliamentary usages. Mr. Snark. The gentleman is a lopeared son of a gun from Hoe county, and can’t lick one side of me.

Mr. Cleaver. Will the gentleman step out from behind the desk and put up nis manleys? Dance to me, you sucker, I only weigh a pound. ■ Mr. Snark. I’ll slap your nasty mouth, you venomous old beast. Mr. Cleaver. Aw —w, shut up, skinny; what are you givin’ us? Mr. Groans, of Texas. Black his eye! Hit him in the mouth! Other gentlemen from various states. Smear him one! Send him one on the paste horn for luck! Smack him in the snoot! Mr. Can Handle (the speaker), mildly. The gentlemeu will please within the bounds of parliamentary courtesy. Mr. Cleaver (jumping up in the air and cracking his heels together). Whoop! I kin chaw up and carry out any son of a thief between Chicago and Cairo! If you don’t believe it, smell of my boots! Mr. Snark. Hold me down, somebody! I’m the had man from the river district, and I eat raw buffalo! Where do you want me to hit first? And just here the police, on their way to close a disorderly house 4n the neighborhood, stepped in and closed the debate.

From this page of congressional history, my son, you can see how to direct your reading in order to acquire a sufficient knowledge of financial matters to participate in a debate on the funding bill. It may be a grand thing to go to congress. 1 won’t discourage you, my dear boy, if your ambition leans in that direction. Still, so long as you have an alternative open, so long as you can get a steady situation as- chambermaid in a livery stable or clerk on a rait, I wouldn’t advise you to set your heart on Congress. The American people really do not have much respect for congress as a body. They are always glad when it adjourns. Individually, the members of congress are, I believe, good citizens, good neighbors and good men. But for a lot of good raw material, my boy, they can make the meanest aggregate when tliey get together. Don’t worry about going to congress, Telemachus. Go to the mines or ioin the minstrels. Your parents will think more of you.

Carlyle’s Dyspepsia.

Speaking of Thomas Carlyle, the New York Telegram says: “He had told his friends that he had a terrible struggle to decide between the ministry and literature,andJhat the struggle rent his being. At last he shut himself up, according to his own aecount, ani fer three days and nights prayed and fasted, never touching a morsel of food, and came out of his seclusion resolved upon authorship. ‘I suffered everything in that time,’ he said. •! don’t know, and never can know, what thoughts and temptations and agonies I had in those days. But I know that I came out of the struggle with the d—d dyspepsia, and I’ve never been rid of it since;’ The confession is important and explanatory. He spoke most significant truths. Dyspepsia has tormented him through lire. It has colored and toned his writings; his opinions, his despondency, his acridity, his violence and ravings are directly traceable to indigestion of the worst and most confirmed sort. If he had had a sound stomach he would have been a different man, at least a different author. He would have seen things in another and a better light, he would have been in accord with humanity instead of attacking it continually, as if it were a mass of stupidity and brutishness. Most of Carlyle’s works, particularly his latest ones, may well be designated the literature of dyspepsia, for dyspepsia has dictated their leading ideas and their saturnine philosophy. None but a dyspeptic could have so glorified Frederick of Prussia, or have elevated selfish tyranny into a secular virtue. To understand Carlyle one must read him, so to speak, through the atmosphere of creative dyspepsia.

The Grizzly Bear.

* The grizzly bear is the moot terrible of all beasts. Its great strength, its enormous sixe, its ferocity and its courage render it a more formidable enemy than the Ttori. It ranges the westward-lying slopes of the Rocky Mountains from Mexico to British America, and is a constant terror to the region it inhabits. The average length of the grizzly bear is about seven feet, and its weight nine hundred to a thousand pounds, although much larger specimens have been killed in Arizona and other southern regions. Grizzlies do not often attack men unless surprised or infuriated, or driven by desperate hunger to sieze upon everything which crosses their path. The grizzly bear has a strong hold on life, and has often beeu known to run with great speed, and even to swim deep rivers, with twenty or more large rifle-balls in its body. Il is so difficult to kill and so furious when aroused, that a hunter will never attack the grizzly single-hand-ed if the encounter can be avoided. The hunter may escape by climbing a tree; for, although young grizzlies can climb like a cat, the old bears can do nothing more than stand on their hind legs in vain endeavors to reach the branches' where the man lies concealed, and growl spitefully. There extreme heaviness, however, is thought by the Indians to be all that prevents tnem from climbing. A hunter once took refuge in a tree from one of these savage breasts, and having vainly discharged all his ammunition at the monster, he endeavor ed to hit it in the eye with cones, thinking to drive it away. But the grizzly only became more infuriated, and began a brisk war-dance around the tree, howling all the while in a terrible manner. At length the branch upon which the hunter was sitting began to give away, and the the unfortunate man felt himself doomed to certain death. Closing his eyes, he resigned himself to the worst, when, instead of falling, as he expected, into the open jaws of the huge beast, he, together with the heavy branch upon which he had been sitting, landed with a tremendous thump upon the grizzly’s head. The animal was so astonished and frightened at this sudden and unexpeeted assault, that it took to its heels, and soou disappeared in the forest. Such miraculous escapes, however, are not frequent, and the number of Indians and hunters killed by grizzlies is, very

large. Young grizzlies have often been captured, and when very small are as playful and affectionate as dogs. But they are not to be trusted, for, as they grow older, their savage nature develops, and they are liable to become dangerous property. Unless they can be surprised away from their mother, their capture it attended by the utmost pej-il. Nothing can exceed the fury of the mother bear if her little ones are molested. Rising on her hind legs for a moment to survey the object of her hatred, she will utter a hoarse “huff, huff, hufT," and charge madly, and wary and courageous must be the hunter who can overcome this savage monster. Hunting the grizzly is usually accomplished by parties of men well mounted, and with bands of trained dogs, but the huge beast will make a desperate fight for its life, and often severely wounds numbers of its assailants, before being forced itself to succumb, — Harper't Young People.

Peter Cooper and the First American Locomotive.

From the Oinclonatl Gazette. The recent anniversary of Peter Cooper's 90th birthday was duly celebrated in the institute which he founded. Among the topics introduced was the locomotive which he constructed for the Baltimore and Ohio road aud which was the first of American manufacture. This recalls some facts connected with the history of that road, which in its day was a most stupendous enterprise. By reference to Nile’s Register I learn that after an effort, prolonged nearly two lyears, the corner-stone of the road (as it was termed) was laid on the 4th of July, 1828. This, indeed, was the special celebration of the natal day, and the occasion was one of highly imposing character. The “cornerstone" was laid by Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, th 6 sole survivor of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, who was then ninety-one, a year older than Peter Cooper himself. The music was composed for the occasion, and was called the “Carrollton March " and the orator of the day (John B. Morris) introduced a beautiful tribute to the distinguished patriot. The procession was one of the most imposing ever witnessed in America on any civic occasion. It was headed by a troop of hussars, aud then came pioneers, followed by the Masonic fraternity. The other features included the farmers with a platform bearing a plow, also an apple tree, under which stood a milch cow and a man milking. The bakers, the tailors, the millers, the blacksmiths, stone cutters, aud all other crafts were represented in a similar manner, presenting a very long and varied spectacle. The printers formed a conspicuous feature.* The car was sixteen feet long and nine feet wide, adorned with portraits of Washington and Franklin, with other distinguished men, accompanied by suitable mottoes. A printing press, composing stands, with other appointments, were in use, and also a force of craftsmen all at work under the charge of Niles, of Niles’ Register, as foreman. Two boys dressed as Mercuries attracted much attention They distributed the declaration of independence, and also an ode, both printed during the procession. The address of Mr. Morris was also printed, and a copy handed to Mr. Carroll an hour after its delivery. Another striking feature was the ship Union, 27 by 6, with sails set, and with a captain and crew, all'’busy in response to the boatswain’s whistle. As the union passed the grand marshal, it was hailed as follows: “Ship, ahoy!" “Hallo!”

the name of ship and captain?” “The Union, Captain Gardner.” Fr what Port and where bound?”“From Baltimore and bound to the Ohio.” “How will you get over the mountain?” “We’ll go by the railroad.” “What’s your cargo?” “Live stock.”

The crew sang the following ode, to the tune “Hail to the Chief,” while Charles Carroll, with a firm hand placed the spade iii the ground: .to th* toad which triumphant commences Still closer t’ unite the Kaet and Went ■ n °’” Hall to th. hope ln our riaion that WHb proeperoos commerce a*alo to be bleat OJseer loodbr. cheer the petetoUcnge Who flrat of all toga In spite of hleMe, iU. Carroll was then cheered by the whole populace in an enthusiastic manner. Aa every vessel has a clearance the following entry was made on the books of the custom house: “Cleared ship Union, for Marietta and Cincinnati,” and the list of officers was added in usual form. Such is a brief reference to the beginning of the first great American railway enterprise which Is recalled by the fact that the loepmotive for its use was built by Peter Cooper, More than a half cenoccasion, and probably Peter Cooper is the only survivor of the workfag force then engaged inservice.

A Parrot that had Brea There.

A day or two since two Frenchwomen were paseengent on one of the local trains between Virginia City and Carson. They had with them in a big tin cage a parrot that annoyed everybody with its constant squalling and gabble. Observing the t 'h»t were bestowed upon • thebird, onte of the women pulled down a doth cover that was on the top of the cage. When the extinguisher was dropped upon the bird and it found itself in the dark, it growled out, “That’s smart.” The bind kept quiet for a few minutes, then yelled in its shrillest tones: “Look out, Sarah, he’s going to kiss you I” The conductor, who happened to be in the car, said: “That parrot must be an old traveler on railroads. He seems to think we are passing through a tunnel.”

Clinton, (Iowa) Herald.

James Butler, Esq-, Clerk of the Roxbury Carpet Co., Boston, Mass., employing eight hundred hands, in a late communication concerning the admirable working of an article Introduced into the factory, says: The famous Old German Remedy, BL Jacobs Oil has effected several cures among our men. who have been badly hurt in working in the factory',- and they pronounce it a success every time. The other evening, at a little dinnerparty up town one of the guests, the younger brother of an English nobleman expressed with commendable freedom, his opinion of America and its people. “I do not altogether like the country/* said the young gentleman, “for one reason, because you have no gentry here.” What do you mean by gentry ? ” asked another of the company. “Weil, you know,” replied the Englishman. “Well—oh, gentry are those who never do any work themselves and whose fathers before them never did any.” “Ah,” exclaimed his interlocutor, “then we hgve plenty of gentry in America, but we don’t call them gentry, we call them tramps.” A laugh went around the table and the young Englishman turned his conversation into another channel.

Jackson Daily Patriot. Happy Friends.

Rev. F. M. Winburne, Pastor M. E. Church, Mexia, Texas, writes as follows: Several months since I received a supply of St. Jacobs Oil. Retaining two bottles, I distributed the rest among friends. It is a most excellent remedy for pal no and aches of various kinds, especially neuralgia and rheumatic affections. White men are not permitted to marry-in the Indian Territory unless they marry Indian women, but a man with a squaw for a wife can take a farm wherever he chooses, providing it is a quarter of a mile from any other, and may occupy it as long as he cultivates it. The Choctaw and Cherokee girls greatly prefer white to redskin husbands, and many of them have found this inducement sufficient to secure them, and as the result a large proportion of the children of that portKsn of the territory reserved for these tribes are half-breeds. A Dutchman turned to a negro boy and asked him; “Boy, do you think a nigger has got a soul?” “O, yes,” said the boy, “I .reckon they’ve got souls.” “Well, boy, do you think you will be allowed to go to heaven?” “Yes, sir, I’spec I will be ’lowed to get in.” “Now, boy whereabouts do you think they’d put a fellow like you in heaven?” “I dunno, sir,” said the boy; “but I reckon I’ll git in somewhar ’tween de white people and de Dutch.”

Mrs. Mary Drover Cowdry, who recently died at Passaic, N J., was a daughter of the 7th New York regiment until she married in 1864. Her father, the regimental adjutant, left her an orphan of four years in 1&60, and the command showed its respect for his memory by assuming the support of his child. Her formal adoption when nine years old was touching to all concerned, and the regiment gave her up at her marriage with a present of $2,500.
