It is a certain truth, although our belief is not that way inclined, that whenever the Roman Catholic's of any city in the Universe undertake to hold a fair or raise a subscription they are al ways successful. Last night at " Fitzger ald' hall was an ocular demonstration of this fact. Go tonight if you wish to aid in a worthy object, learn a lesson, and be amused.

I once had a friend whose christian name was a river in Dakota, and whese Hurname was a riycr in Australia. His spirits were always as light as a lake In Australia, especially when he be utrode his spirited horse, to whom he had given the name of a river in Russia, anc' whose color was a river in France. He always wore an Isthmus of Panama hat, river in Scotland clothes, and coun try in Africa boots, but Ins nppearence was slightly marred by a city in Ireland limb. It was his custom to go eyery evening to see a young lady called a river in Si heria. She was quite a belle, as her fath er was a well-to-do mountain in Wash ington territory, and she herself was not without charms. One eveninir he asked her to set her mountain in Oregon, and come for a walk when she indignantly replied, "I do not wear a mountain in Oregon, "but a city on the Caspian Cap." They wandered silently through the green lanes, and were standing pensively under a town in Colorado near which some swine were disporting themselves in a pubble, when she suddenly exclaim ed, "See how the hogs a town in Wash ington territory." He had supposed that their mountains in Germany were filled with love, and to have the illusion so rudely dispelled by an allusion to animals that had such an unpleasant riycr of Germany about them wv.s too much. lie had received her remarks with t cape in Canada, and as she seemed un aware of the mistake she had made, he answered her remark with a contempt u ous cape in Canada, threw a city in Ar kansas at the innocent cause of his dis comfiture, and started for home. A few days afterward he decided to revisit his dulcina. As he strolled along smoking a City in Cuba, he saw her father's island near France, and her island near Scotland, quietly grazing; but she was not ai the window as usual, feeding her islands of the coast of Africa, and a cape on the Atlantis const took posession of him. On the sofa sat his adorable with young man who was one of the city in France, of the season, but who looked islands off the coast of England, when he saw his rival. My friend looked poak of tho Alps, cld chills ran down his Arctic river, for he had distinctly heard the fellow say as he entered a river in Florida. With an insolent air, the fellow whose name was, river in British America, told him that he meant to port of Paris and that he might go to city of Nova Scotia "Yes, do go away," said river of Sibe ria, "you have become a perfect city on the Danube, and besides he has pro mised me a peak of Oregon ring." My friend declared he would give the fellow a river in Kentucky, that he had won her with a cape on the Pacific coast. that he would river in Ireland him yet, but he happened to remember that he had no one to go his city hi Switeilaud, if he used his town in Arizona, so, though it was hard city in France her he turned and left the house without a cape of Greenland. We feared that he would city in Italy over the world, or take to a town in Illinois, but he 6imply took a European strait powder and seemingly slept off nis cape on the Pacific coast, for the next day was Thanksgiving, he did full jus tice to the country of Europe.

Bob Ingersoll in his argument in the Bell telephone case closed his masterly plea in behalf of his clients with the fol lowing terse words : "I do not - believe any man can patent tho idea of sending speech by electricity. He can patent de vices by which that can be done, but he cannot get a patent on tho lightning. A man can pateut a water wheel, but he cannot patent the water, or say to the water you cannot turn any other wheel but mine. A man may pateut a wind mill, but not the wind, and any man who can make a better mill may use the same w:nd, because we do not get our entire stock of wind from the patent office or from the attorneys on the other side. Wind is the free gift of politicians, and looking at the lawyers of the Bell people, without wind where would your caso be? PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Prince William of Prussia, since his aecent removal from Potsdam to Berlin, has ceased to le the holder of a season ticket on that branch of tho railway. As an economical "jater familias," he pre ferred to subscribe for a lirst class return tickei ai a reduction rather than to pay the regular tarilt rate, the company courteously holding a first class car at his disposal. His wife, who has had far less occasion to go to Berlin, never took a commutation ticket, but paid tho regu lar fare as she went or came. Famous men all have lixed notions alout certain remedies for diseases, or about things one ought not to take as remedial agents, Mr. James G. Blaine is strongly set against Turkish baths. Ho believes they are pernicious stirrers up of otherwise well ordered systems, and openly declares that tliey are not good for either man or beast. Col. Ingersoll pins his faith to bicarbonate of soda as a cure all. "I declare," he said, when telling what a wonderful thing it is, "I wouldn't like to sprinkle bicarbonate of soda on the grave of an enemy. It is so efficient I am afraid it would bring him up." If Louisa M. Alcott had a pet aversion, it perhaps was the morbid, the introspec tive; her imjKitience with any literature that encouraged the young, and especially young girls, to "peer ami pry into the state of their little spiritual insides, " was sometimes rather ''vitriolic," as George Elliot would say, in its expression. She pronounced the Wordsworth maxims, "To look outward and not in" and "to lend a hand" to be "sound mental hy giene." Like all strong hearts she hon ored strength in others, and sometimes resented its opposite. Once I remarked with some surprise on the evident enjoy ment of an almost exclusively feminine tea party by a gentleman of our acquaint ance, and I vividly recall tho sudden flash of her eyes, and smile, as she said : "Oh, yes; but he's not a man; he's a transmigrated pussy cat; it's hi3 mission in life to sit in a corner and purr affably I" A Foremen's Association. An organization just formed in Pitts burg is called the Foremen association, and consists of foremen from every large industry in the city, from the iron mills to the paint shops. Its object is to secure a suitable reading room, library, gymna sium, and especially a lecture hall, "where new ideas, both theoretical and practical, may be exchanged;" to secure places for skilled workmen in all trades; to inaugurate a system of visits to tha principal shops and mills for the inter change of suggestions and comment, and for the general advancement of the inter ests of the foremen themselves, of the employers for whom they work, and the men whom they direct. It is the inten tion to make tho organization a national one. New York Sun. Want to Change Their Color. A few nights ago a party of colored men were limiting coons near ucaia swamps, in the southern part of Georgia. Zeke Mason, one of the party, while at tempting to cut a tree that a coon was supposed to occupy, cut a deep gash in his leg. His first act was to run to a marshy, stagnant pool near by, and gath ering lianduiis ot tne slimy niuu,pouiticeu the- wound, thereby obstrnoting the flow of blood. The next day the wound had healed, and the entire part of the leg on which the mud had been placed had turned almost white. Colored people from far and near axe now making pil grimages to the pool and daubing them selves with mud in the hope of becoming white. Cincinnati Enquirer. S!i raid the Price. Because Louisa M. Alcott received about $100,000 from the sales of her books many a hopeful and inexperienced writer will imagine that literature is the highway to fortune as well as fame. Let them remember one of Emerson's nuggets of wisdom. That is, that wo can take whatsoever we will if we but pay the price. Miss Alcott paid the price it was a price few could pay. She began teaching school and writing stories when about 10, and although she loathed the teaching she was forced to keep on at it for fifteen years before her writings produced an income sufficient to enable her to depend entirely upon her pen for Bupport. New York Press "Every Day Talk." A Voodoo Queen. In a little one 6tory frame dwelling in St. Paul, lives one of the most peculiar of women. She is a voodoo queen, and is absolutely worshiped by many of the colored people of St. Paul. Sho is about 55 years of age, as black as black can be, with short, kinky hair, and deep set, bloodshot eyes. Sho foretells the future, cures all ills, and can tell the lucky num bers that will win at policy. She has a peculiar song which she sings on Friday, and wears ssveral amulets. Her in fluence over the colored people of the city is said to be simply wouderful. Cincinnati Enquirer. An Addition to the Letter Box.

In the Third ward there had beeu 205 votes cast, but the contest for council man was so close that no opinion could be formed as to who would be the com ing man. In tho Fourth ward there had beeu 201 votes cast up to 3 o'clock and the chances were in favor of Con O'Con nor, democrat, being elected councilman. No idea about the vote for mayor could be formed, but it is thought that it will be very close. 'Way Dack Said a lady to our reporter today, "do they run steamboats up the Missouri putt here?"
