The Huron News-Record, 1891-08-19, Page 6Constipation, f F not remedied in season, is liable tc li become habitual and chronic. Dras• tic purgatives, by weakening the bowels, confirm, rather than cure, the evil. Ayer's kills, being Mild, effective, and strengthening in their action, are gener- ally recommended by the faculty as the bestof aperients. "Having been subject, for years to constipation, without being able to and much relief I at last tried flyer's Pills. I deem it doth a duty and a pleasure to testify that I have derived great ben- efit from their use. For over two years past I have taken one of these pills every night before retiring. I would not willingly be without them"—G. W. Bowman, 26 East Main at., Carlisle, Pa. "I have been taking Ayer's Pills and using them in my family since 1857, and cheerfully recommend them to all in need of a safe but effectual cathartic." —John M. Boggs, Louisville, Ky. "For eight years I was afflicted with constipation, which at last became so bad that the doctors could do no more for me. Then I began to take Ayer's Pills, and soon the bowels recovered their natural and regular action, so that now I am in excellent health."—S. L.

MUR- PHY. Martin Murphy when sober car- ries the hod in a manner satisfac- tory to himself and his employers. Martin Murphy when not sober is in the habit of getting tangled up with poliaer_uen, judges and courts ill fl manner not at ail Satisfactory to himself or any one else. Now, Martin had a job over in Brooklyn that was good. He work- ed steadily for two weeks and was paid the ether night, Wheu he ��► lav and indulged in sev- tVr .•.a m(i .. oral mixed ales, flavored with black pepper, it occurred to him that he bad worked t vo full weeks without making a break or getting full him- self. The discovery surprised and saddened him. He started in to blot the stain from his record and the result was that Martin Murphy was before the police magistrate the next day. "You were drunk," said the judge. "I was" said Martin, easily and honestly. "Well, you will take five days or $5," said the judge. "I'll take 'em both, Yer Honor," said Martin with a diplomatic wave of the hand. And so an hour or so later Martin rode to prison in solemn state. About the same time Mrs. Mur- phy learned what had befallen her husband. She was face to face with an emergency and she arose to meet it. There were two things that she determined must be done—Martin must bo got out of jail and his job must be kept for him. This was easy enough. She went to a gen- tleman with a "pull" and he said Martin should be free before the next day. That being attended to, Mrs. Murphy repaired to the buildings where Martilf had been working. ('Who be's the boss of this job I she inquired of a red.ahirted gentle- man wjro was pushing a hoe langu- idly through a pile of mortar. The "boss of the job" was pointed out and to him Mrs Murphy addressed herself. "Ye've a man carrin' the hod fa ye av the name of Murphy I" sh said. "I have," was the reply, "but '• he -isotdress-teedag:. . " " -, - r e "I know 1►a's pot," said Airs: 11Iurphy, "Blah he'll be here in the luornin' or I'll know it 1 Where's his hod I." "In the building where he left it," said the builder. Into the build- ing lira. Murphy went. When she came out her skirts were tied about her in a most peculiar sort of way, and she had her husband's hod in the regulation way. The build- er had walked a little distance away, and did not notice Mre. Mur- phy lay her hod down carefully, load it with brick and shoulder it. When he did see her she was going up the ladder as steadily as his head hod carrier could. "Hey there I" be shouter, "come down out of that." "Wait till I've dumped me hod," said Mrs. Murphy, and dump is she did before she cam, [down. "See here," he said when she came down, "this thing won't do." "What thing 1" inquired Mrs. Murphy "You can't carry the hod here." "I'll carry the hod agin any man on yer job," retorted Mrs. Murphy stoutly. "This is Martin Murphy's hod an' I'm his wife, au' I'm goiu' to kape this job fer him. I'll do this work the day an' I'll hev himself' here in the inerrant," and with that she turned away, loaded her ho 1 and mounted the ladder again. The builder was puzzled, but helpless, other workman scarcely knew what to make of the affair. But resolute Mrs. Murphy soon put them on re- cord. When she came down the ladder a second time she reached down in a long pocket and drew out a silver quarter. "Byes," she said, I'm goin' to pay my futtin' on this job. Is there a man among ye that'll go to the store for me'?" There was, and he went. When he returned he handed the can of foaming ale to Mrs. Murphy. She raised it to her lips and took a good- ly draught. "Now, byes," she said, "fer the rist av the day I'm kapin Martin Murphy's job." And she did. She carried hod with the other men for the after- noon and despite her skirts, was fairly skilful. At six o'clock she put' her hod away, shook hands with the other workers—they insisted on that—and went home. She had saved Martin's job and half a days wages. When Martin came home from jail that night, penitent, she lugged him off and made him sign the pledge. Next morning she sent him back to the job she saved for him and he is there yet. Now and then one of his fellow - work men will remark : ' Ye're a good man, hut feth, yer wife's a better wan," But Martin merely says : "Be gorr, I belave you're right," for Martin is a trutful man. The best thing about this story is that it is strictly true except in the matter of names. The heroine of it is not inclined to be boastful. She merely says that "washin' is harder nor hod carryin'." And she ought to know, THE COAT OF OUR SAVIOR. Thousands of citizens of the United States are on their way to Troves to witness the exhibition of the supposed coat of Jesus of Naza- reth, which is to occur after Aug, 18. Previously in the last two weeks at least eight hundred other Anterie can citizens have gone abroad for the sawn purpose. More than one hundred thousand European citizens are flocking to Treves to witness this display. To those who have not their atlases before them it may be as well to mention that Treves is a city of Rhenish Prussia, the oldealrr municipality in Germany, and al, ways famous as a pet of the Roman Enipire, and afterward as one. of the Roman Church. If the coat of our Savior was to be discovered no better locality could have been selected. There is some difference of opin- ion among accredited authorities as to whether this coat could still be in existence, and, inasmuch as at least a thousand of our good citi. zeas have gone across the Atlantic to investigate, perhaps it would not be improper for this paper to to assist their through extracts from the Holy Record. of ChrJtit's cttatr John says (chapter six,, verges 23 and 24) : "Now the coat was without emu, woven from the top throughout. They said, therefore, among themselves : Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be." Hence from St. John's version comes the belief that the coat, won in the raffle by a soldier of Augustus, was carried by him to Treves, and that it was there discovered. That Augustus was particularly proud of Treves at that time, and that he sent many of his soldiers there, are established facts. • The bishop of Trevea says regard• ing the coat :—Perhapa you will ask me, illy brethren, whether the vener- ation of the holy relic which our ca- thedral possesses be founded on fact, whether we must acknowledge it to be the coat without seam which our Lord Jesus Christ wore on earth. I think it my pastoral duty to answer this question to the best of my knowledge and conscience. When there is a question about time authen- ticity of a certain relic in particular, then everybody is perfectly free to form his opinion on sound and reas- onable arguments. A Catholic, who, wantonly or without grave reasons, doubts or rejects the authenticity of a certain relic, way appear arrogant and irreverent, but he is not for that to be considered erring in faith. THE AUTHENTICITY OL' A RELIC, like any other historical fact is founded and proved on the testimony of ma#.l The authenticity of no relic, be it the most eminent of the oldest church in Christendom, falls minder any precept of Catholic faith. According to a decree of the Coun- cil of Trent, the Bishops are bound, before sanctioning the public exhibi- tion of relics, to hear the opinion of pious and learned men, and then to give that decision which shall he dictated by truth and piety. How could I venture to think that my predecessors in the see of St. Eucil- arius had been wanting in the necessary care and vigilance for a cause so eminently important and holy, that is, in examining the au, thenticity of such a relic, and that in spite of the solemn decrees of the church ; how could I presume to think that they had kept silence or connived mit what they knew to be a fraud 1 Watching over the very old 'tradition of my Cathedral Church, and over the reputation and honor of its pontiffs, I must adhere to the conviction I have—that these traditions rest upon truth, that the Archbishops of Treves neither erred nor were deceived. Indeed, I would fear to sin against the Church of Troves if I discarded as a worthless thing that relic which our ances- tors regarded as their moat precious treasure. I think it my duty, my dear brethren, without any reserve, to speak out this, my conviction, yet without wishing to force it upon anybody. But in order to satisfy reasonable inquiries, and to solve some doubts, I have ordered a care- ful examination of the holy coat be- fore it be solemnly exhibited. In the presence of the Chapter of the Cathedral and some competent judges this examination took place last summer, and lasted several days. The result was that there was noth- ing found that contradicted the old traditions of the Church of Treves. London Standard : This interest- ing relic is said to be the veritable seamless mantle worn by Jesus. In the year 1810 Napoleon the First asnented to its being shown publicly for the secone' but in giving hie sanction he added that "the working of miracles" was to be for- bidden, The last time it was exhibited was in 1844, and on that occasion the mantle was reputed to have per- formed numerous wonders in restor- ing sick people to health. The ap- proaching exhibition will be only the fourth time it will have been shown in the past three centuries, and the event is naturally awaited with the greatest interest by all good Catholics in Germany, and far be- yond the frontiers of this empire. ' - The sub -editor of a Silesian news- paper has been condemnted to four- teen days imprisonment on account of some disrespectful remarks he had published in reference to the holy coat at Treves. St. Matthew, perhaps the coolest of the recorders of the time, says (chapter xxvii, verse 35) : "And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots." Mark says (chapter xv., verse 24) : "And when the had crucified him they parted his garments, casting lots upon them what every man should take." Luke says (chapter xxiii., verse 34) "And they parted his raiment and cast lots," Thus three of the four disciples who wrote upon subject agree that the Savior's raiment was cut up into pieces and gambled for ; but John, the fourth, differs with all of them, and it is from his version that conies the widely prevailiag belief of the —Wm. McBride. a London drayman, living on the Proof Line just outside the city limits, was charged with the larceny of $23.50 from Mrs. Meston, The pris- oner pleaded guilty and was let go. Mc- Bride found the money on Talb rt street, and supposing Mrs. Meeton had dropped it, called after her, but she did not ans wer. Subsequently the lady missed her purse, and accused McBride of having it, and he denied all knowledge of the missing property.

QUEEN ICTOh}F4.'$ ,PATHER IN NOVA SCOTIA. - From laaper's Bazar, A.zlou' sevens wiles west of the centre of'Halifax, near the head df Bedford I,3asiu, is a beautiful spot, now much used as a picnic groun which every Iialigonian knows "the Prince's Lodge." It id part the estate in old times leased b Sir John Wentwo. to the Du of Kent for his royal residence du log the seven years that Prince, father of Queen Viotorin, lived i Nova Scotia. Sir John Wentwort had his country mansion there, awl called it, in allusion to Romeo anN Juliet, "Friar Laurences' Cell." The Duke enlarged the original house until it was a tine two -storied villa, somewhat in the Italian style, with extensive wings at the north and south and a great hall and draw- ing rooms in the centre, Back of the house were stables for his horses, end the grounds, though rustic, and having all the marks that nature had originally put upon them, contain- ed many charming surprises. His Royal Highness, who wan at this time commander of ail the forces in North America, had a telegraph battery on au adjoining hill, by means of which he could send his orders to the citadel in town. In the neighborhood of the Lodge were artificers of various sorts, so that the place was like a little feudal town. Indeed, the Prince himself used to put his hand to the jack• plane or drive the cross cut saw,and and I fancy there was little that went on that he did not personally oversee. He was a strict disciplin- arian, but was very kind and affable in social life, and especially inter- ested in young men, fur whom he often did much. His life had not been a luxurious one, and he inher- ited many of the simple tastes of his father, plain old "Farmer George," which, on the whole, com- mended him to Nova Scotians. So- ciety in Halifax in those days was very gay, stat it is said that the Prince, by his moderation in the use of wine, and by refraining entirely from cards, had a good in- fluence over the young men of the town. To cure intemperance among his men, it is said he used to make them turn out at five o'clock in the morning for drill, which of course, made late hours away from barracks impossible. His punishments were very severe. For one poor soldier he ordered a thousand lashes on his bare back, and on the grounds of the Lodge is shown a cave where another was confined for two or three years, until he died. Once or twice, it ie said men committed sui- cide from fear of hie punishments. Prince Edward's friend and compan- ion during his Nova Scotia life was a clever French woman, Madame AlphousineTherese Bernadine Julie de Montgenet de St. Laurent, Ba- ronne de Fortisson, whom he first met in Martinique, and who, when he married the Queen's mother, re- tired to a convent. The Halifax people we're dazzled by the presence of royalty among them, and when the Prince's seven-year term hid expired, it took society a long time to settle down to its normal condi- tion. In 1800 the Duke of Kent began the erection of the present citidel in -Halifax, first removing the old insecure fortifications, and then building the massive walls that now enclose the fort. A con- spicuous monument of his Royal Highness still remaining is the square wooden clock tower below the glacis, directly above the mid- dle of the town. COLONEL BY MARRIAGE. IBUl .ANISIV4 DECLINING, The Eotna,n Cat�ttolie conference at Wigan, Bog., bas been debating the causes of the decline of the Catholic Church In England, which baa been s.o marked of late as to cause men-. tion. —In cutting down a large silver maple or poplar tree on Wellington street late- ly, the heart was found to consist of a stick about the size of a walking etiok, which, apparently, years ago it, must have been, as it showed distinct marks at the small knobs of having been trim need off with a knife, How the stick got there is a mystery, hut having by some means done eo, the tree appears to have grown round it, taking itcomplete- ly in, but keeping it dietinet and intact from the new wood with which it was P esilivdtheli kni? ptedWritrxigturitt.rrrrtittlx�i�Yt.-yfitdlt 'h'rrrost r. -• A rice, apostacy, and the aversion of young men to marriage are the leading causes assigned for this decline. Against this it is claimed that, although Romanism is losing, it is gaining socially in influence, and it is asserted that the visit to Rome of prominent people Is again becoming notable. One instance noted is that of the Viscount St. Cyres, oldest son of the Earl of Iddesleigh, who has openly professed adhesion to the Roman faith. Other converts include the Hor,. Horatio Nelson, third son of Earl Nelson, who has joined. Rev. Thomas Cato, of Oriel College, Ox -- ford, makes the twelfth minister of the English clfurch who has gone over within a short period. Major General and Mrs. Whin -Yates, Borsil Lechmere, heir to Sir Henry Lech - mere, Bart; G. S. Usher, a descend. ant of the famous Archbishop Usher; an immensely wealthy Scotch woman, Miss Stewart, of Ascog Hall, Bute, etc., and seven managing matrons of the hospitals, among whom the change seems to' be epidemic just now.

"I wonder where 1 could have left them." He went through his pockets again and then sat down on the top step to think the matter over. "She'll be hopping mad if I wake her up," he muttered, "arid no ex- cuse will go. But what else am I going to do 1" He sighed, made a third search of his pockets, and then got up with a look of determination on his face and gave several vicious yanks at the doorbell.
