Davis , created a great deal of surprise aud consternation among the many would-bo postmasters in the demo cratic ranks.

Harrison is at present in Kansas looking up a location for a bank , aud it is thought by many that he will not accept the otlicu , but will carrj out his intention of removing to Kansas , It is , however , safe to presume that he will not remove until removed or until il is about tlino for his postmaster commis sion to expire.

A Solemn Celebration In the Holy Faintly Ohurcli. The Catholic church teaches ninny of her lessons through the senses. For this reason site calls to her aid the fine arts with all their elevating Influences , brings into the sanctuary the flowers of the summer , and surrounds her altars with all the pomp and ceremonial she so well knows how to use. Poetry , oratory and music are also her handmaids aud it is with these she reaches the hearts of her children and draws them up to a better and holier life. All times nnd seasons she has dedicated to the worship of God. At ono time the churches are draped in solemn purple or sombre black to re mind all of tun stiflbrlngfl of her founder and of the shortness of time and cer tainty of eternity. At other times flowers , lights , gold , incense and all the beautiful things arc employed by her to teach the children through the senses that there are also joys beyond as well as a judgment. The month of May has over been devoted to the honor of the Blessed Virgin Mother of God. During this season in every Catholic church through out the world some special effort is made to decorate a statue or altar of this , the mother of saints. Extra prayers are said and extra good works are performed for the same purpose. The month of Mary , as the month of May Is designated , is ono of rejoicing throughout nature , and its observance in the church is there fore most appropriate. Yesterday was the feast of the patron- ngo of St. Joseph and it was observed at the church of the Holy Family with more than usual solemnity. The importance of this feast was enhanced by it falling on tlio first day of the month of Mav and the celebration thorotoro was doubly im portant in this church. His lordship the Rt. Rov. Bishop O'Connor attended the roloum high mass , and sat within the sanctuary. Solemn high mass was cele brated by the Rov. Father Kpopmans S. J. witli Rev. Father Colllnari as deacon and the Rev. Mr , Donoher S. J. , of Crcichton college sub deacon. The Rev. Father O'Meara S. J. and Rov. Mr. Gona- han S. J. acted as deacons of honor to the bishop. Rov. Mr. Mara , S. J. was master of ceremonies. The accomplished quartet choir consisting of Mrs. E. C. McShano , Mrs. Bothgo and Messrs. Frank and Harry Berkley ably rendered St , Clair's mass , and Mrs. Bethgc sang an ? Ave Marie by the same com poser. After the gospel of the day had boon sung the Rev. Father J. P. Bowling- . J. president of Crolghton college preached an eloquent sermon on the virtues of St. Joseph. The revornnd gentleman , who Is known throughout the east as one of the most prominent pulpit orators of the Society of Jesus , unfortunately , has very little time to devote to pulpit eloquence at present. When ho does appear in any of the pulpits In the city the congregation is assured of something not only Instruc tive but also eloquent The 'Congrega tion at ( ho Holy Family church yesterday were not disappointed. The following is a liberal abstract of the sermon : "All the saints of God show His clory in various methods. The apostles tles , by their knowledge , fervor and zeal fill His designs in the conversion of the heathen. The doctors of the church en lighten the faltliful in the holy scriptures , and show the power of tradition. Con fessors , by their zeal , charity nnd purity are such examples that oven those out side the ohnrch wonder at their courage. Virgins give evidence what human nature can do when nidud by grade. The pastors , nppomtedly a divtno author ity to teach , nave various gifts. Homo prophesy , some heal the sick , some have the gift of discerning of spirits and evun raise the doad. All this that the glory of God may be manifest. But there is one saint who stands apart with a different mission : ono who is des tined to conceal his glory until il shall finally bo rovealcd. As it Is mbro re markable to sec the sun when cclipsod than when en its ordinary course , so is it the more remarkable to see the glory of God concealed in a saint : w is the case of St. Joseph. When the angel announced unto Mary that a child should bo born she was divinely enlightened on the mys tery of the incarnation. Yet she could not see how this was to bo done and she still retain her virginity which she had vowed to God. "How shall this thing bo done ? " If the Jews know that Christ's mission was to do away with the types and symbolisms of the old time what would set bounds to their halo and niao ; If Pagans know that that child waste to silence the oraolos and drive out the demon worshippers as devils ; if the demons in hell knew who that child was who intended to deprive them of their preywhat would have been their rngo ? Would they have not moved heaven and earth to prorent such a con summation. But Mary was told that the power of the most high shall overshadow tier , and St. Joseph , the foster-father of God , should bo the visible means by which this should bo done. In the person of St. Joseph , and in the shadow of his humility , God , the Father , Son and Holy Ghost should be hidden , Joseph is the only father the Diyine Infant had so far as the world saw , BO that the divine pa ternity shall bo concealed in St. Joseph until the time comes for it t bo revealed. Thus was Christ's divinity concealed. Who will recognize , in the seven years the holy family spent in Egypt , the Son of God in the carpenter's son. By the blessed virgin being joined in wedlock to St. Joseph , the divinity of Christ was concealed , and in this is seen the grand est height of humility to which St. Joseph attained ! What is more wonderful still is that ho will bo content to remain hidden and ho has a shield. He found easy what all other saints have found to bo so difllcult. To obliterate self and practice that perfect self abnegation. All through life St. Joseph was the same and ho has beou honored by the faithful for this virtue up to the nine teenth century , but why Is it that in these latter davs ho is so frequently and per sistently held up to the faithful for our imitation. It is because in these latter days those virtues of St. Joseph arc more than over needed. The world needs a model of a Christian family. There are men and women and children to-day , but where is tiio family. The father seeks enjoymoni and excitement away from his homo from which ho escapes as from prison lie joins the secret society , or attends the saloon and thcro makes a beast ot him self. The children soon follow In his wake , and soon fall na ho fell. Does that father ever think that ho will , some day , have to give a solemn account of the souls committed to his ear of If ho did ho would never give such evil examples If you will do your duty to your children , fathers , self denial and sacrifice if necessary , but unfortunate ! ) too many fathers lack this. The famil ; is sent to schools There they are in danger of losing their faith , and the children are withdrawn from the influ ence of a Christian education. For a few mltry dollars a tfcclc fathers will allow heir children to Icavu school long before heir characters ha\o > bccn formed. Is It without a reason' the church puts St. Joseph as a modul of the head of the Christian family. Then the daughter of the household are allowed to go when and where nnd with whom they will , until , to your sur prise , they gall your very hearts * by an- lounclnji that without consent or advlco they have or are about to form nn alli ance with ono who knows nothing of the duties of religion and with whom it is impossible to have that Christian tie which should bind two hearts together and which is sanctioned and blessed by : ho church. This marriage tie in only too often a matter of convenience , committed too hastily and not through dutv. How many Christians seem alto gether to forgot that the church has set tier seal , and also her batin , on mar riages. Hero is where the Christian family Is striking a rock which will bring it to ruin. The example of the holy family is intended - tended not merely for those rising up. It is needful for the mother to take the ex am plo of the Blessed Virgin. She must not neglect her family , nor must she bo altogether a woman of toil. There is a midway , and she has obligations to ful fill. On her depends the faith and piety and zeal the sons and daughters will re ceive. And in this great example she will learn reasonable subjection to her husband. Children will also learn obedience from the divine model. In those times there Is so much prate about the womanhood and manhood , and the Independence the voutli of our land enjoy. It makes foci that there Is no law to which they shall bo subjectl Sub jection seems almost forgotten , and it would seem as if our very faith la slip ping away in the eager grasping after those things which it is supposed will ad vance our material prosperity even at the expense of our faith. St. _ Jos ph will teach us the importance of tins faith. Wo must not let it slip away. Let us hold ou to it and remember that wo must here after answer for the precious deposit. This precious faith lhat so many are will ing to barter , and of which so many make light of. Oh ! how many are puffed up with a little knowledge. Them aramany mysteries in the mind more oosy to prove than to understand. Pulled up with conceit - coit , how many accept nothing they can not prove by science , and at the same time are willing to let go the most im portant of all their faith. Hold on to this. Rest satisfied with the hope of honor , dignity and wealth. All those are not nearly so important as the obli gation of keeping bright the deposit of your faith. At the conclusion of thn moss , the Rt. Rov. Bishop O'Connor solemnly blessed a richly embroidered silk banner which the married ladies sodality of the Holy Family church hauo recently purchased in the cast The banner is of great rich ness. The front is of White silk , richly embossed with gold-thread flowering and gold bullion fringed -In the center Is a hand painting of the Blessed Virgin nnd is a fair copy Of Michael Angolo's great work.

His advent waa not signalred ! by any noticeable change in the aspect of the affairs of the office. Sorno changes nnd improvements will doubtless be made , though gome time will bo required before they can bd completed , Soon after the opening ot the office yeitcrday , Mr. John Event , who for some time has acted as superintendent of the carriers , aud a most accommodating ono he has boon , tendered his resignation. It was accepted , and Mr. Platt , one of the oldest carriers In the service , was ap pointed to succeed him. Mr. MoMahon , who , for several years has been in charge of the newspaper postage donartment , also retires , but no successor has as yet been appointed. Hit Her With a Cap. Joslo Huston , who domesticates at the United States hotel , Tenth and Douglas streets , was standing at a window last evening when a rough appearing follow came along , and asked her to kiss him. Josie retorted by tolling him to go along about his business. Instead the fellow reached for a cup just inside the window nnd throw it at the girl. Il struck her on the head cutting quite a gash. The man then ran toward the river. Two male employes of the hotel followed and surrounded him. Ho was taken back to thp hotel and was soon bundled into the patrol wagon. At the station he gave the name : of Strong. Xbo Her Artesian Well. The work still goes on night and day at the artesian well west of tlio Willow Springs-distillery. The ponderous lime stone rock , which proved to bo three hundred or more feet thick , has .been pierced , but after only a few more foot boring another rock was struck. The well men think they have gotten into a family of immense boulders. The clnpth of the bore is now liJOO foot. It is ex pected that the diamond drill which will bo employed by Mr. Her in sinking a hole soutn of the city and also north of it , will arrive In a short time. Another Canadian Ilccmlt.

A LIFE OF DECEPTIONAND CRIME A Most ftomarkable Oriental Statesman - man Who Imukn Sufllotont Acute * ness to Conceal the Shady Sides ol'llls Character. Cairo Letter to Now York Tribune : The scandalous proceedings of the members of the khodlvo's cabinet have reached a climax , aud , as usual , the least guilty man was made to suflor for the sins of his colleagues. In a former letter I do- crlbcd how Mustapha Pasha Fehml , the minister of the interior , strangled the ormcr minister of finance , and iiow his land still boars the traces of a blto in- llcted by the dying pasha when strug gling for his lifo. In the present letter I > repose to show briefly that the past and > rcscnt history of Nubar Pasha , the pres ent prime minister of Egypt , in every way qualities him not only to not as the colleairiio , but oven as the chief of the 'thug'1 minister above mentioned. Nubar is generally regarded as the most remarkable of Oriental statesmen , a perfect Bismarck of the Levant. But those who have had the opportunity of icrsonally studying his character day by lay will bo forced to admit that , while hero Is much cleverness and -acutoncss , there is a want of that political sagacity which would enable him to conceal .ho very shady sides of his character , lie is an Armenian by birth and in his early youth held KOIUO menial position in the Kus3iau consulate at Smyrna. Ono of his relatives , Uoghos Boy , being em ployed in the service of the Egyptian jovernrncnt , young Nubar made his way LO Cairo , and at the age of eighteen wo find him , a singularly handsome young man , holding the post of reader and sec retary to old Aiohomot All , the viceroy. During the reign of the satur nine Abbas Pasha , who was ono of the wickedest monsters who have ever disgraced an oriental throne , Nubar occupied the same post. When Abbas was at length assassinated in ona of his desert palaces by two of the male inmates of his harem , hfs successor , Said , who admired Nnbar's cleverness , appointed him director of the newly-con- strueted Egyptian railway. It was while holding tins cilice that the important ovout of Nubar's lifo occurred , ono which has never boon satisfactorily ex plained. Ho had become the bosom friend of Prince Ismail , the younger brother of Achmot , who was heir to the throne. Ismail , who spent his times chiefly at Paris , whore ho was made much of at the Tuilcrios , was as unscrupulous as ho was ambitious , and never ceased cursing tlio fact that ho was only a younger brother. In the spring cji ouo of the years immediately preceding Said's death the latter gave a garden fete at Alexan dria , for which he sent invitations to all the members of his family and to other prominent personages. A special tram Was ordered to convoy the princes and their suites fromCafro ; to Alexandria. Curiously enough , Prince Ismail at the last moment excused himself from going on the pica of sudden illness , while by a strange coincidence Nubar , whoso duty it was , as the head of the railway department , to accompany Prince Ach- met's special train , just as the latter was about to steam out of the depot pretended a similar indisposition , which forced him to remain at Cairo. The train , which in addition to the heir apparent , con voyed hig uncle , I'rinoo llulim , proceeded safely on its way until it reached Kafr-Zayat , a point about halt- way between Cairo and Alexandria , where the line of railroad passes ever a splendid iron bridge which spans the Nile. A swing bridge opens and shuts to permit the passage of steamers aud other craft. As the train bearing its royal freight canto thundering down Uie Slope which leads to the bridge the engine- driver SAW to his horror that the swing bridge was open , leaving a yawning space over the dark and rapid river , whose muddy waters rushud along fully sixty feet below. It was too late to avoid the danger. The whole train Waa pre cipitated into the rivor. Prince Ilatnlin alone succeeded in emerging from the saloon carriage , and being a splendid swimmer managed to get achoro ; but Priucu Achniet and his suite perished , thus leaving the succession to the throne clear for his brother Ismail. Of course the result of all this was the temporary disgrace of Nubar , who found it prudent to betake himself to Europe , where ho remained until the viceroy's death. As soon at Ismail ascended to the throne in 18U3 he summoned Nubar to his side aud named him prlmo minister , besides bestowing - stowing magnificent presents both of land and money on the man to whom ho owed so much. During the following years Nubar undertook several voyn/zus / to Constantinople and Europe on behalf of his master , who testified his satisfac tion by further presents of laud and money. Our Armenian friend , who had now become a very wealthy man , was de termined , at all costs , to maintain pos session of what ho had got. Under tlio existing circumstances , any security in the matter was out of tlio question. There was absolutely nothing to prevent Khedive Ismail from confiscating on the morrow the whole of the estates which ho had bestowed on his prime min ister the previous day. It was necessary to plaeo Homo cheek on the confiscating powers of the khedivo. which , until then , had remained unquestioned and supremo. Accprdigly Nubar insidiously suggested to his sovereign that the creation ot what are now khown as the international tri bunals would vastly increase his facilities for borrowing money on the European market , since they would enable the European creditor to obtain by legal pro cess possession of his debtors property. The trlbunal.s , which are Nubar's handi work and about which so much has been written , have proved the ruin of the country Until their institution tlio bor rowing -powers of the natives wore limited.

If you bare made up your mini to got UouoVi ImaptrUla do no take any otbtr. of forciiiR his debtor to liquidate his debt , consequently tlio Urock , Syrian , aivl .Tow usurers wore very cluxrry ubout lending money. Now , however , nil that Is changed , ntid the present intense misery of the peasantry is duo to the fact that almost all the land has passed into the hnnds of the foreign money lenders , lly becoming the protected subject of France , Nubar thus ell'ectively placed his prop erty beyond tlio reach of his master , who could not toii'jh any portion of it except through the legal process of the interna tional tribunals. It would take too long to relate in de tail how Nubar , foreseeing that Kuro | > o would deiUKiid an account of the fact that whereas fiOO.OOO.OOO had been bor rowed only $200,000.000 had found Us way into the national treasury at Cairo , determined to save his own riches at the expense of his master and benefactor. Ignoring tlio fact that part of the $300- 000,000 had remained sticking to his rapa cious fingers , anil that every foot of ground , every piece of gold , In ( not , which he possessed , was duo to the muni- licence of his master , 1m joined nay , act ually led the hue and cry which was raised against the latter , and which cul minated In Khedive Ishmail's buiug forced to surrender nil his estates and to abdicate Ins throne. So much for Arme nian gratitude , the absende of which is proverbial throughout the oast. The present scandals , which have cul minated in the disgrace of ono cabinet minister and in the summary dismissal of a number of high officials , are merely continuations of Nubar's former indolica- ales. The government possessed a vas number ot landed estates , which form erly belonged to Khedive Ismail. Under the pretext of turning this property to good account all the more valuable lots were disposed of , not by public auction , but by private sale at a merely nominal unco to the various members of the "ring , " while the remainder were placed upon the market in such a way as to de preciate momentarily tlio value of real estate , and thus enable Nubar to turn his minimise capital to a profitable ac count by purchasing land at a moment of artilioially created depression. Enor mous tracts were likewise allotted to various friends and intimates of Nubar , under the pretext that they were to bo used for experiments in the culture of indigo , tea , coll'ee , vines , etc. A strip or two of ground would be planted with the seeds in question , and after a few months ex perimental culture would bo abandoned , but the lands remained without payment in the hands of the people to whom they had been allotted. Moreover , during the last twenty years much land formerly un cultivated lias by climatic changes be come fertile. A survey would have placed on record all these lands , most of which belong to the government. This , however , would uot suit the plans of Nubar , and hence , notwithstanding the untold sums which had been spent , the surrey has , strange to relate , never boon completed. The English government , although perfectly aw are of all this , in tentionally shut its eyes to the whole matter until the scandal became too pub lic , for Nubar is the only statesman sub servient enough to bo tlio instrument through whom England governs the country. In personal appearar.cc Nubar Pasha , who is the only Christain holding the rank of Held marshal nnd Muclur of the Ottoman empire , is exceedingly handsome ; his presence is stately and majestic , and his manner with his equals dignified. It is painful , however , to see him with his superiors. I shall always remember the first occasion on which 1 saw him enter the presence of Khedive Ismail , who is exceptionally stumpy , squat and vulgar In appearance. Nubar , wlioso imposing presence had until then vastly Impressed mo , approached In & cringing and servile manner which even Uriah Keep would have despised , and , humbly Biezlng hold of the hem of Ismail' * frockcoftt.prossctl it to M lips and to his forehead. I have on many occa sion * been present where oriental states men were received by their sovereign , but never have I scon a sight which dis gusted mo so much as this. It may be of Interest to add that Qatnbetta had the most profound dislike and contempt fnr Nubar ( "ce trlpotetir d'affaires , " as he used to call him ) , and sternly and oven discourteously rofiisO'l to receive him during the yeara which the pasha spent at Paris auilseqtlently to 1878. Nubar is exceedingly brilliant and witty in conversation , and an amusing diplomatist. A few years ngo he was forced as urlmo minister to proceed in full uniform to the French legation at Cairo , to preseilt to the charge .d'ad'aircs ' the exojses and regrets of the Egyptian government for the inadviirtant arrest of a French consular official. The charge d'nd'airs , who had been instructed from Paris to return a most severe and digni fied reply to Nubar's sot speech , awaited he Egyptian premier in the grand salon suvroundud by his staff and tlio captains of the Frennh squadron , then at Alexan dria. Nubar entered in his usual bree/.y manner , his fez cocked as always the way on ono side of his head , nnd having quickly repeated his short sot speech , without giving time to the unfortunate charge d'allalrea to reply , addressed him self to tlio naval officers primomexclaim ing : "I am so delighted to have an op portunity of mooting you gentlemen. I know you have recently been in Cochin China , whore the country is frequently devastated by floods.Voaro much em barrassed just now with the question of how to deal with our cemeteries here ( hiring the annual inundation of tliu Nile. How do you manage in Cochin China ? " This sudden leap from an official sot speech to the question of floods in Cochin China proved too much even for the versatile Froiuihnicn , and they were completely disconcerted. "Hut do mo the pleasure of coming to see mo about the matter. I begot you. " Thnn , turning to ono of the secretaries of the Legation , who was known as r great scandalmonger and as belli ; * devoted to wildfowl shootiiiK , ho ! iddiu ; : "And you my dear M. do II. Faitos vous toulours encore la chas.so mix' canards ? " Then making a sweeping bow to allprcson t , ho quickly added : "Dulightcd , gentle men , to have had the pleasure of meet ing you ; good morning , " and stalked majestically out of tlia room , leaving the Frenchmen staring open-mouthed nt cacli other and feeling t'hat it was Nubar who had been receiving them and not they Nubar , "Two months ago I commenced taklnz Hood'a Bar- laparllla as an experiment , n < I had no uppotltoor itrnnnth , anil foil tired all the time.
