MESSRS. Entrons :—-In your late issue the
correspondent, P. J. O’Dwyer, makes many
assertions entirely false infect, but I suppose
he will, when confronted with the facts,
plead the Baby act, by saying he wasunisin-
formed, as he has since done In“ ‘publlc,~aud
begging cessation of hostilities Without mak-
ing honorable amend toward those hemalev—
alcntlv attempted '0 injure before thc;pubhc.
llc asserts that ". lerry) Mr. Jeremiah Tier-
ney is the prime mover in this insignificant
party of malcontents, who, without any prev-
ocation by word or act. from hisJRevercnee,
has caused all 'thcscandal. which has exrsted
for the past two years, of which I will speak
more fully hereafter. '» "
lie asserts that this bad element of l\or-
walk attempted to lock and nail tip the church
doors against the Saintly Reverend John
A Mulligan: D. D., a better, more venerated
and more beloved priest. I do not think ever
lived. The above charge is ‘entirely false,
which you, Messrs. Editors,_to.o well knew,
as you well remember how well that good
Priest was loved by all, Protestant as well as
Catholic men, women and children, without
all ' exec tion.
its forIilic late Rev. P. A. Smith, all the
trouble be ever had while ourpastor (and his
place has not been filled yet) was from the
lunatic ravings of P. J. O’D.’s imformants
who have caused as much trouble as an. small
pox’patient Would in-a healthy community.
He furtherasserts that the assistant priest
did not have the nseof Pastor’s horse when
needed, until .he came here, which I flatly
deny as afnlse statement. _When the Rev.
1’. A. Murphy was, assistant here, Father
Smith’s large bay horse ran away with and
threw Father Murphy-out; against the lamp
post in front Of my 'house,and he was carried
in and tenderly cared for. Father Fitzpatrick,
Father Lawlor, Father» .Finnigan, who were
all assistants here, and each and every one
used Father Smith’s horses logo to the Ills-
sions and attend sick calls, and that without
charging the Parish $625 for Wear and use
of horse and harness and a man to take
care of them. It is an easy matter to balance
:1 sheet when one can charge what you like.
When the present incumbent first came
litre he laid down certain rules for the Par.
tab which rules gave offence, not totlieiba-
kci-‘s dozen, but to the whole congregation.
First, that a pew bolder had no claim to his
or her pew except at 10 1_i :Ma‘ss; _ Second,
that all persons requiring .his presence at the
sick bed must hire or bring a‘ conveyance or
pay for the use of his.- He also. fixed a su-
pend for the administration of the sacra-
motifs of baptism and matrimony, which are
contrary to the spirit and ciistr‘L-r 0' the
church. , ,' _
Now, who“ me people became dissatisfied
“-itlr t'lllS radical change he began to heap.
unqualified abuse upontheir devoted heads-
bccause they did not come down with the.
cash according to his notion of a firstelass
Parish, and told them that instead of a first
it was only a third or a fourth rate one.
Being cognizant of these facts, the meet-
ing to which allusion was made by Justice, in
the Democrat, was called, and 'to which :I
was invited with others. Iwaschosen chair.
man, as P. J. O‘D. sneeringly, remarked I
am a resident of Norwalk for 29. years. I
aided in the purchase of the old lot and
helped build the church. I begged Dr. Mule.
ligan to purchase the house and lot where the:
churchnow stands. I made many sacrifice;
in order to give toward its erection, which-
none but Father Smith knew. After all this
have I no interest in the church? that I
should be publicly stigmatized as a sorehead,
a malcontent,by one who hasannounced from
the altar his indifference toward the people
because the few inti lligent persons met to
consult about P. J. O'D.'s announcement
that half the congregation did not come to
church and the revenue fell off more than.
that: the children did not attend Sunday,
school, and so on, and all agreed that it was
a subject for the Bishop of the Diocese. 1
say all ugrcedéno, one didnot agree to go to
the Bishop: this man wanted a commih.
tee appointed, and he would make one of the;
number, to wait upon the Pastor and request:
him to reform himself and household for the;
interest and welfare'of the Parish.~ , '
In conclusion I regret being obliged to re-,
sort to public vindication of my share of the .
charge of sorehead and a baker’s dozen.

The death of “Commodore"lfl, K. Collins,
formerly head of the well-known Collins Line
of Ocean Steamsliips, which occurred in New
York on Tuesday. will bring vividly to mind
the glories and disasters of that ill-fated line.
:It comprised five splendid side-wheel steam-
ers—the Pacific, Atlantic, ‘Baltic, Arctic and
Adriatic. The line was founded in 1850, and
at first prospered, but soon met with very
grave losses, and in 1858 was abandoned as a
failure. "The first great blow to the Collins‘
Line was the loss of the Arctic, on the 27th
of September,1854, the heart-reading particu-
lars of which are well-remembered by thou-
sands to day. The Arctic camciuto collision
with the French propeller Vesta, of Cape
Race, Newfoundland, anti socii-foundei'cd,all
but forty-five out of the 368‘ on board being
drowned. Among the lost \vcrc Mr. Collins’
wife, son and daughter. Ii11856, the Pacific
sailed from Liverpool with 186 persons on
board, and was never heard from afterward.
These disasters destroyed the prestige of the
line, and it never recovered from them. ’
President White of Cornell discovers in his
travels that America isn’t the only land of
improvement we could learn precious. lessons
from England. Germany, Switzerland and
even Italy. In schools. primary, secondary,

Cigarette Smoking.
There is a growing belief that the habit of
past ten years the habit has increased so ra.
Ten years ago cigarettes were smoked only by.
foreigners, andtliose associating much with
them, or by people who had acquired the
habit while abroad. Now the habit has ex-
tended even to many inveterate cigar-smokers.
Ten years ago it was impossible to obtain One
brand of cigarette, the Cuban, frorn New
York tobacco dealers; now it is stated that
there are 338 different brands in the market,
Several prominent physicians of New York
unite in declaring that: cigarette smoking is
much more injurious than cigar smoking, be-
cause the smokc is generally inhaled, and
often ejected through the nose. Ithas a par,-
ticularly harmful effect on the mucous mem-
brane of the nasal passage. People who use
cigarettes are more liable then others to be
afflicted with local irritations that produce
catarrli. \ .
In persons of nervous temperaments, the
doctors say cigarette smoking always produces
constitutional effects. The pulse is increased
in frequency, becomes smaller than/natural,
and is irregular. Persons who constantly
smoke cigarettes, are said by physicians to be
easily excited and to have a tendency to vet-
tigo and dimness of vision, besides being
troubled with dyspepsia. Bronchial and
throat diseases are much mtre readily,
caused by cigarette smoking than by cigar
smoking, and during the past six or seven
years, alargeinereasein diseases of the air
passages, due alone to this habit, has been
observed. Excessive indulgence in any form
of tobacco smoking may produce grniral
paralysis, Vertigo, when resulting fiom
strong cigars or from inhaling of cigar smoke,
is due to auto hit, or in other words, to adi-
minitlird supply of blood to the brain. By
. some, it is claimed that the paper wrapping
of cigarettes is as hurtful as the tobacco.
This claim is grounded uptn the belief that
the products of the imperfect combustion i f
the paper or other vegetable fibre, are pyr0'_
ligneous acids, which makes their presence
uupleasantly felt in the mucous membrane.
One of our local Doctors, himself an in-
veterate smoker, in casually speaking a few
days ago of this some practice of Cigarette.
smoking denounced it as most dangerous and.
as something that was weakening the health-
of the youth of the place. He declared it to
be the very worst form in which tobacco
eculd be used, and that he had seen the evil
effect of bill a number of his patients, and
that all who used them would surely suffer
from if, as it; was dangerous, oery dangerous.

School Singing a. Means
_ of Grace. ” '
“Our County Sunday School Conventions,‘
writes a missionary of the American Sunday
School Union in Texas, “have accomplished
many good results, especially in the way of
reforming Sunday school singing, and _sing-
ing books, 'in schools where old-fasbgoned ~
hymns were ‘lined out’ to old-fashioned.
tunes. The people are delighted and 80th?-
siastic over the ‘Calvary Songs,’ and find in
them a pioneer to ‘build up schools, and to.
revive those before neglected and run down“
Now the best and most prominent citizens
are stepping to the front in the Sunday school
work."

A Marvelous Vision.
I saw a model husband in a dream,
Where things are not exactly what they seem;
A moral man to skeptics be it known,
The wife he loved and cherished was-his
own ; .
And for the test—I saw the husband wait,
Willi horse and chaise, five minutes at the
gate, '
While, Jane put on her things; nor spoke one
sour .
0r bitter word, though waiting half an hour
For dinner; and, like patience on a throne,
He didn’t rave to find a button gone.
Deacon Ophlltree’s Pew.
If there is anything, Mr. Ophiltrec is par-
ticular about, it is his own individual cornr r'
in his own particular pew. He can’t half or.
joy the sermon if he has to sit anywhere else
than in the inside corner of No. 52. right hand
side of the middle aisle. For years he has
occupied this seat as‘ regularly as Sunday
morning came around. He has heard the
gospel “dispensed with” by one ministerafttr .
another. From that seat he had smiled and
nodded encouragement to the Boanerges who
have preached the gospel after the ideas of
Deacon Ophiltree, anti has frowned forbid-
dingly and terribly at the hapless prcbendary
who has dared to enunciate doctrines which
were disagreeable to No. 52. No usher or
sexton ever so far forgot himself asto put any
One in that corner because the Deacon was a
little late. It was always considered sacred.
Imagine, then, the Deacon’s amazement last
Sunday morning when he entered the church,
wrapped in a profound study of the doctrine
of regeneration through sanctificatlon, to see
a solemn, importantdooking stranger in his
precious corner. The Deacon brought up all
of a sudden at the head of his pew and gazed
at the stranger in open-mouthed but voiceless
wonder The stranger, never returning his
gaze, sat twirling his thumbs and looking
straight at' the pulpit. Deacon Ophiltree
doubting the evidence of his senses, backed
out into the aisle, and took out his spectacles,
rubbed them, and placed them on his nose.
Then he tilted back his head and looked at
the pew number—“52.” Plain as ever a “52"
was in the world. There could be no mis-
take about that. ' Then be advanced to the
head of the pew, and bent his head down
until his chin touched his breast, and gazed
fixedly at-thc stranger over his spectacles.
There was no mistake about that. The strsn- '
ger was there. Then the Deacon stepped
back one pace, leaving the entrance to the
pew unobstructed. so that the stranger could
get out Without any trouble. But the stran-
ger didn’t appear to have any idea of evacua-
ting his position. He grow a little restless
under the Deacon’s incensed glances, but he
only fidgetted a little in his seat, and stopped
twirling his thumbs to pick up a hymn-book,
which he opened at “Hold the Fort,” and
read that stirring bit of religious military
composition with evident comfort and e‘difiea-
tion. The Deacon was amazed. “Possibly,"
he thought, “the intruder does not see me."
Then he took out his handkerchief, a'red silk
standard, which looked like a pocket edition
of a garrison flag, and burying his nose in
this warlike banner, blew a. toot that echoed
through the room lik a signal of defiance.
The stranger never moved, but be beat his
eyes upon the page before him and read the
line.
“Hear the bugle blow,’;
with much mental auction.
The Deacon was more "astonished than he
would have been if the end of the church had
fallen out. He crammed his handkerchief into
the crown of his hat with the defiant airof
a man who meant business, and inflated his
lungs, and called for the stranger‘s attention
with a stentorian— ’
“A hem l”
The stranger fidgetted a little, turned very
red in the face, and looked up,glanced around
and saw the congregation titiering and taking
it all in, and he evidently made up his mind
to "hold the fort” until General Roger’s troops
ejected him, if he had to stay there all win«
ter. .80 he settled himself again, and, with-
out looking at the Deacon, turned over to
the hymn,
“A charge to keep I have.”
The minister rose to give out the opening
hymn, but the congregation had no eyes or

ears for anything but the indignant Deacon
and the immovable stranger. The Deacon
was about to introduce some new tactics,
when he felt a touch upon his arm, anti 0
gentleman-looking church official said:
“I will show you a seat, Sir, if you please.”
“Seat P” said theDeaeon, in such wrathful
undertones that he was nearly clioktd. “Seat.
That,” pointing to the blushing but obstinate
stranger, “that corner is my seat The seat
I have occupied and paid for, for these nine
years past.”
“You are merely mistaken,” said the placid
ofileia , “and you are interrupting the ser-
vice and distracting the minister. The seats
in this church have been free for the past five
years.” ' ‘ 7
The Deacon looked around him as though
he expected the ground to slide beneath his
feet, and a gleam of intelligence and dismay
passed over his face. A
“This~—” he gasped, and could get no f ur-
thcr. , .
“The Church of the Lost Sheep,” explain-
ed the ofllcial.
The litters of the congregation followed the
mortified Deacon to the door as be bent his“
steps toward his own Church of the Ran-
somed, anti when he got there, he struck
everybody dumb with amazement by drop-
ping into the seat nearest the door; and if a
cow or an ichtyossaurus had waltzed in and
taken its seat in the inside corner of No. 52,,
Deacon Opliiltree wouldn’t have been in the
least bit surprised, and wouldn’t have raised
one single murmur of objection—Burlington

PAIRING Ont—William T. Coleman, of
San Francisco, was talking the other ,day of
his old partner,’Edward Mott: Robinson, of
New ‘Bcdford, whose penuriousness was a
matter of common talk.
“He was a good fellow in the main," said
Mr. Coleman, “but be exceeded any man I
ever knew in ingenious cxpedients for saving
a dollar. In those days I was a democrat
and he was a republican. ‘ One day he said,
‘Coleman. have your committee been after
you ?’ ‘Not yet,’ I replied. ‘Well, mine have
been after me,’ he said, ‘and they wanted me
to subscribe $500, and I told them Iwould.’
[ looked at him with absolute; amazement.
Then he added: ‘Yes, I told them that ‘the
democrats would expect $500 from you, and
I was going to pair of? So mind you stick to
that arrangement. It will be all the same to
both parties, and it won’t cost either of us a
cent; ”—EniTOR’S mena, in Harperls

On a crest of the Blue Ridge, in Hender-
son County, North Carolina, stands a Sunday
school house from whose roof the rain falls
on one side upon the ~Atlantic slope, on the
other side upon the Missisaippi slope. In
this house is gathered a Union Sunday school,
which was organized by a missionary of the
American Sunday School Union, having an
average attendance of seventy-five scholars.
It has been liberally aided with books by the
society, through the contributions of a Chris-
tian lady in Irvington, New York, for whom
a letter has just been received at the office in
this city from the superintendent of the
school, conveying their “heart-felt thanks,”
and reporting a powerful revival, in which
his own blind daughter. with many others,
had been CODYeTtei—Christl'an Union.

A woman in a neighboring city had some
property of her own which she refused to give
up to her husband, who was a drinking,swag-

a severe beating. She had him arrested, and
an enlightened jury, composed of "male pro-
