He was demiled to attend the charity hospital of that city and shrank from no dan- gerin the performance of his duties. He was born in Italy in 1814 and. years ago. was pro~ nounoed by Orestes A. Brownson, who visited him at the south. “ thé grandest philbsopher” he had met in the country] At the outbreak ‘of the civil war he became chaplain of the Don. {aldsville cannoneers and served with that ‘command throughout the struggle. He was a man of snperbhealth,atrength aha courage; and as he was master of several languages he was called to minister to patients of every de- scription stranded at thA port of New Orleans. " Torthese poor people," says the New York Times, “ the priest was especially attentive, giving them much more of his care than his duties to the church required, so that even the attending physician warned him of the danger to which he exposed himself. He paid no attention to the warning and the re sult was he became infected with the dremi disease and after a long illness (lied on Saturâ€" day night of leprosy.” The N. Y. Sun replies to a. young man desirous of studying for the ministry and making inquiries as to salary £20. After on“ tering upon the subject pretty thoroughly it winds up as follows : But, young man, it is not what a minister of the Gospel makes, whether it be more or less, which entitles him to rispeot. and which indicates hie greater or less success in his sacred calling. How much good does he do? How. sincere is his devoâ€" tion to the well-being of men and to the truths of God ? These are the questions to ask {about a clergyman. Whoever enters the ministry for any other purpose than to serve the cause of truth and humanity and religion, to wo~k for others rather than himself, defiles the stored vessels he handles and degrades the holy calling to which he assumes to de- vote himself. The Pope, after congratulating the newly appointed bishops,comp1ains bitterly of the Italian Government’s refusal in many cases to grant the royalexequatur entitling them to temporalities connected with their sees; “ There are many Bishops,” said his Holi- ness, “ who have waited months and years for the removal of the obstacles which preâ€" vent their going to their sees. Nor is it without reason that we speak of obstacles, for is it not excluding the Bishops from the sees intrusted to them when, by withdrawing from them What they ‘ are entitled to, they are obliged, if they go to their sees at all, to go privily, destitute of all human subsidy, sheltering themselvesin the houses of others, and exposed to the danger, as was the case at Ohieti, of seeing their episcopal acts disre- garded, and even incriminated :7" The Pope denounces the whole system of the exsquatur, asking what would be thought of a temporal sovereign who had to submit the choice of his generals to some other authority which refused its sanction or delayed it without u plausible motive. Nineteen Bishops luck the exequatur. One of them, Cardinal Parocchi, predonized Archbishop of Bologna in 1877 , alter vainly waiting five years, renounced his see in despair: ._ ,. A. /.

The‘priest'did not join issue with the bishop on the more question of ecclesiastical author- ity ; but he refused to give up his personage, which was temporarily used as a church. In the lower court of the state it was held that the relation between the bishop and the priest in such a. case was that of landlord and tenant and that the tenancy was virtually a yearly one which could only be terminated eiter three months’ notice, which notice Father O’Donovan did not receive. On appeal the supreme court of the state decided that the relation between the bishop and priest wee more like that of malter and servant.

When damages were repaired, she said : " If you want to com verse and happen to have poi on your finger, do this." And as éhe spoke, she graceiully waved her poi laden hand backward and for- warci, with a slow, graceful turn at the end of each beat, and the motion kept the poi in place on her finger end. I turned. to my companion in poi, so of say, and. said I would eat a is. native, if she would teach me. She would be charmed. We bathed our right hands, and. without another word: dipped in. I tell you it is a. novel senu sniion to plunge your hand, in the presence of a table full of civilized beings, into a dish of food of a consistency which generally domsnda a spoon. The sensation is made more queer when, as I did you find your right hand swinging about; the dish in compan) with the hand of a beautiful woman, who is looking at you the while with mild reproof.

I had not made a very brilliant go of the opfiraiion, and so felt a little nervous when my host: spoke ; but rather than be guyed, I determined to try. She explained that I had held my finger too straight. ‘- Crook your finger a little like this,” she said, as we both babbled back into film poi, “ and turn your hand, not too fast, with a wrist movement only.” I did as directed, and soon the surface of the calabash was disturbed by the movement of two wheels of poi, circling about our re- apective fingers. We withdrew our fingers and each was supplied. We carried our fin- gers to our mouths, licked them clean, and again dabbed into the calabneh. It. doean’t sound pretty, does it? But, upon my word, when one comes to try it, old prejudices and the force at life long training rapidly disappear, and poi from a fork loses half its flavor and merit. When one takes ones finger from the calabaah, the finger is carried to the mouth in a sort of spiral movement, otherwise one‘s shirts front gets the poi. Of course with the poi there was fish raw, cooked and dried. The dried and raw fish is easily enough eaten with the fingers. I‘he cooked fil‘h was the only fish partaken of with forks.

A correspondent writes from Hawaii, Sand- wich Islands, concerning a native feast, as follows : b His Peculiar and Entertaining Strain of Humor Pleasantly Described. The late ArtemusWard (Charles F. Browne) knew what he was abom when he courted the company of actors uni} journalisés so aseiljun ously. He got from them much more than he gave, good companion as he was, and it was the actors who taught him to give expression to his irresistible flow of spirits in a. succes- sion of practical jokes of a harmless sort, yet comical beyond measure by their very oddisy and unoxpectodnesu. ” Come in here! come in here 1” mid he one day in Boston to a companion walking with him,,“Comc in here; we Will have some fun.” ‘1: was a Boston pie bakery which they enteredâ€"a place where pies were a specialty ~ where pies and nothing but pies were sold, wholesale and retail, all the live long day. Browne approached the counter, behind which the proprietor of the estebliehment was standing, and asked. in his bland, insinuating voice : “ Have you any pics ‘2” “ Pies I” replied the astounded proprietor. " Yes, pies.” " Pies ! I” repeat- ed ihe man still more dumbfounded. “ Of course, pies ? have you any pies ?” “ Bias! I" replied the shopman once more, gazing at- Browne as if he thought him an escaped lun- atlc‘ “Oh, we 1, if you haven’t got any pica I’ll enquire somewhere else ; como, Jack ! ” and he marched his friend out of the shop again before the salesman could recover his Wits. Al'temus delighted to filup the sedate reu‘ speciability of Boston, while loving the place 3 sincerely. One day, in the early afternoon, having a lecture to deliver that evening, some of his friends concluded he would not be able to talk so well at night ilhe kept on talk- ing in front of the bar at the Parker House. They accordingly insisted on on immediate adjournment, and Artemus, suspecting the game, determined to revenge himself. He locked arms with two gentlemen very well ‘ known, indeed, in the citywone a. manager of ‘ the leading theater, the other a public officer, ‘ high in the confidence and books of the coniâ€" monwealth, and walked ofi with them along the city’s most crowded and fashionable thoroughfare. Acting as if he were in custody and needed the care of his compan- ions, and making his voice conspicuously loud, Artemus began 2 “ Gentlemen, you are probaby aware that the noble red man, the incomparable savage of the plains, forests and mountain festnesees, whom I have stud- ied closely in his native wilds, has various modes of expressing the emotions which swell his generous bosom, and of giving voice to the ceremonial traditions inherited from an im- WHOLE N0. 1,258 ~NO, 10, ARTEMUS WARD. EATING POI. 'eefy “ In she wider application of the term," the policeman went on, ” the word ‘cst’ is applied generally to women, though it is restricted among the more aestheiic criminals . to loose women. A blow of the fist. or club is a ‘slug,’ a. loaf of bread is a ‘dummy,’ and the end of an unfinished cigars ‘snipe.’ Small boys who gather cigar stumps are called 'snipe-hunters.’ a term also applied. to an objectionsl person to indicate thus he is very low and degraded. The not of steeiing is called ‘Hwipiug,’ and, as u: handkerchiehs (willed a. ‘wipe,’ stealing a handkerchief is called ' swiping a wipu.’ A newspaper is called a ‘giveaway.’ A police officer, as everybody knows, is a ‘cop’ or ‘peeler,’ and, as is equally well known, cap- tured plunder is called ‘sweg.’ A safe-breaker is now called a ‘gopher-cracker,’ and if a criminal desired to express the idea that a. safe-robber had been senn to San Quentin, he would say, ‘ A gopher-cracker has gone over to the bean much.‘ Handcuffs are of course called ‘brscelets,’ a. thief is a ‘crook,’ the jail is the ‘jug,’ and coffee is called ‘bootleg.’ though for what earthly reason I cannot understand. A pick pocket is a. ‘dip,’ and a. purse a 'poke.’ Therefore, if a man steals a purse from a pocket he is said 4 to dip a poke.’ Shadowing a. man is ' piping him,’ and hence, if you de; sired to call attention to a neatly dressed man onlhe street, you would say, ‘ Pipe the guy.‘ A pistol is called a. ‘ pop,’ which is. peculiarly appropriat ‘ie' guhgy‘fln ahbzeviation f ' ‘ “ a sentence _ 5 V ; imply Nae Joker [httwuld'be . achi ram." A (3636: has alwa. .4991: called ‘ sawbones.’ and a hospital for the wounded a ‘ slaughter house] “ My own opinion of the jargon is that i the ordinary thief would devote half the time in peaceful pursuits that he must expend in memoiizing this awful conglomeration he could make an honest living without difficulty. Indeed, a. man must be pretty well posted to understand the everyday talk of these ‘ cz'ooks,’ as they call themselves. For in- stance, a. cell is a ' drum,’ keys are ‘ screws,’ lights of any kind from a gas to an electric light are ‘ glims,’ and a. bed is a "doss.’ When a men is arrested he is simply ‘ pulled.’ A ‘ con,’ which appears to be an abbreviation of the word convict. A saloon is a. ‘ boozing ken,’ and a well-dressed man is a ‘ sweli cove.’ A corpse is a ‘ stitit‘,’ and following analogy a. coffin is a ‘stifi box.’ Strenger enough the 10rd ‘ gage ’ is also used in speaking of a letter, a message, or a note. For instance, if a. crimi- nal succeeds in sneaking a. note out of jail,he 9 said to be ‘ sneaking a, stiff.’ The victim iof a centidenee operation is spoken of as a ‘ bloke,’ and, therefore, s ‘ fly bloke,’ is one who, having been ‘played’ for a fool suddenly turns out to be rather smart. The word ‘eat’ is often need as an adjective, as a mat res- taurunt’ 01‘ a. ‘oathouse,’ the letter meaning a house of ill-dame and the former a. restaurant where loose women Gilt. “ A friend is called a ‘ pal ’ or a ‘ cove,’ and a. rum cove ’ would be a. smart apd true friend. Oleihing is called ‘ toge,’ and an overcoat is an ‘ overtogl Shoes or boots are ‘ etamps,’ a. soft but is a. ‘ oaddie,’ and'stifi hat is a ‘ dicer.’ Shaking dice is 'ranling the bones,’ to deceive any one is to give him a ‘fill‘ or a ‘ gaff,’ and if a. hoodlum should remark, ‘ I gave the blue-belly a ‘ fill,’ he would pro: bably mean that he had succeeded in deceiv- a police officer. A watch is called a ‘ super,’ a chain ‘alander” and a diamond in ‘ spark.’ “ Tho jargon oi hhe criminal," said a. police oflicer in conversation upon the growing pre-’ valence of slang, ” is quite curious in its way, and often amusing.” If a man should ‘ swipe a spark ’ he would steal a diamond pin, and if he ‘ collared a super and a sleng’, he would have snatched a watch and chain. A ‘ rum covey might swipe a wipe, collar :1 super, give ublue-belly a fill. and yet get jugged and finally be compelled to do time at the bean ranch,’ but if any one should relate the story to you in that language you would be no more able to understand him than you would if he asked you for a. ‘dummy,’ 9. cup of boot- leg’ and a ‘dose,’ in which words there is no claw to his meaning. I cannot recollect half the slang in common use, and these that I have given you are only specimens the most inexperienced policeman ought to understand. and yet few of them do ao.”~â€"~San Francisco Chronicle.

The case of George Smith, aged twenty one, of 162 East Twenty-fifth street, New York, who died on July 10, in the Brooklyn City Hospital, from the effects of injuries received at Brighton Beach, on July 9, by diving into shallow Water, has excited much interest among phyeicians, because of the length of time the patient lived after having received a broken neck. Smith, who had been (kinking, was in a. reckless mood when he entered the water, and, although his comrades tried to dissuade him, he climbed up a post about fourteen feet high, and dived. into water which was less than two feet deep. His head struck the send and his neck was broken. This was the third fatal accident that had occurred at the island within the past two years by reckless diving. He was paralyzed below the neck and had to be car- , tied in a blanket to the cars. He was removed ‘ to the hospital in an ambulance, and as he did not suffer pain his case was deemed singular. He retained 8.11 of his senses,but could scarce. 1y wink his eye, and he spoke with difficulty. His neck was much swollen, and he could not take food except in liquid form, and then only'irom ten to forty drops at a time. He complained only of u queer feeling in his head, and was entirely conscious. He lived about twentyâ€"eight hours, and died an easy death. At an autopsy which was held, it was dis- covered that the three top vertebrae were badly fractured, and that the spinal chord had been caught between the jagged ends of bone and sewed down to a. mere shred. The bones had received a comminuted fracture, and several pieces came outnin the process of dissection. As the case was unique. the three vertebrae» were removed by Dr. Perm- pont for preservation as specimens, and the laceruted section of spinal chord was out out for preservation in alcohol. Dr. Creamer had a similar case two years ago in Williams- burg, where a bather, whose neck was broken by diving, lived a: day.
