The only question that has stimulated the citizen# of Qhitman to investigation and research for the last week is whether one of onr prominent lawyers is an exotic or whether he is indigenous to the soil. This question was propounded by a learned gentleman who had just arrived in our town, and upon his introduction to tho lawyer. leferred to. Although we had not investigated the question we tliiuk it could have been settled without much difficulty Jjad it not been suggested that thp first question to -cdfedder was whether the lawyer was a “yearb” or not. This mak ing the matter too complicated for us we withdrew at once. We learn, however, that the investigators have not arrived at a satisfactory conclusion, and that the lawyer is waiting with much anxiety to learn how he is in the future to be classi fied We Can't Help It. j To Mr. W.

And when some modern Hebe, some god do as rivaling in beauty the mythical Venn*, presents herself to their imagination, their sympathies are aroused to tho utmost for all her kindred, particu larly a recently unfortuuatc father. One of these excitable gentlemen, while read ing on Weduesday morning last in the Madison Recorder an amount of a serious injury to one of his friends by being thrown from a buggy, gave the lullowiug expressions of his sympathy: “My Lord!

The family of Uudly, of Northampton shire, bears for its crest a woman’s head crowned with a JmlinoL the throat-Jatch loose, tbV tikhr throw'll tip, drift her ’"hair flowing and dishevelled. Its origin was as follows: la the letter pari of fhe'foppieentlpcpn. tury a brave knight, named Hotot, had a serious dispute with Sir Jasper Ringsdale concerning,the title tqa vuluablg piece of land; and as a last' resort tile'rival claim ants agreed to meet upon the disputed ter ritory and settle the matter by a conbat at arms. Hotot was well advanced in age, nnd upon the morning of the appointed day he found himself laid up with gout, and in Sncli pain that be could not even arise from his chair. In this emergency his daughter Agnes, who held her father’s j honor very dear, and who desired much jto retain the land, armed herself in full ! k>ighy [ well-known cnargerf and bearing a lance i which she had often used in tilting sport, | went forth at the time ajipointed and met Ringsdale. The fight was stubborn, but the maiden’s suplepess,of jrmb fijjidb' pre vailed over the Might's 'greater physical strength, and in tho end she dismounted him. Quickly leaping, bom ■hen* xadiile she drew her dagger, Dill Ringsdale had no desire to renew tho combat; and when he had acknowledged himself vanquished his opponent loosened her throat-latch, and lifted up the helmet, thus letting down her flowing tresses upon her shoulders and discovering her sex. The Lady Amies afterwards married into the Dudlfyfasuily,' \ and in honor of this chivalrous and heroic i act her deseendents have used tho above crest with the motto— C-aloxt spes sedulis, ; which is feebly rendered —In this (helmet) j we trust our honor. The sunshine which warms and Cheers our hearts exposes the weak spots in our Sunday suits. That’s the only objection we have to sunshine. A CRUSADE 01 FRAYER. Pastoral Idlin’ or I)li o*w, the Moat Rev. An hbtxlinp of Rotv Orlvans, Pr-rrtt>fiiK u Trldnmm of Prayer* for (lie CHurcli Napoleon Joseph, by the draco of God nnd favor of the Apostolic Sec, Arch bishop of New Orleans, Domestic Iso late of His Holiness, Assistant at the Pontifical Throne, Roman Count, etc. To the t 'leniy and FniOiftd of the Diocese, Ik,Mt} ('nil Ifonmlkluii, in' Christ our * w.- n j * • r,; Beloved Fellow-Lahokeks and Peak Bkktbukn: The Sovereign Pontiff, Pius IX, condescending to the petition of pious Catholics, shocked and alarmed at the in sidious smuos mid open attacks whereby the Catholic Church is menaced by tho powers of hell, has granted pcrmissioit to celebrate throughout the Christian world a triduum of prayer, aud designated for that purpose, the three days immediately preceding the Assumption oT the Blessed Virgin Mary. lu conformity with this wish of tho Sovereign I Vutail, iva hereby aunouuce to yiW, dear Moved Tvfrthreu, a solemn tri duum of prayer, during which Catholics, inilmod with one and the same spirit, and , growing with a fresher zeal and fervor, will send up their vows and prayers through the intercession of the glorious Virgin im maculate nnd the whole heavenly court, to the throne of God, that for tho glory of His own name He may spoedily deliver the Holy Father from his captivity and as sort the triumph of the Catholic Church. The label’s of ministry, and the fatigue attendant upon our pastoral visitation, per mit us not to enter here into the study of the motives bykvliieh you should be aw ! tasted in this holy pacific crusade of prayer. This, however, would, in your case, dear beloved brethren, be unneces sary; your love and veneration for the sa cred person of Pius IX are too well known, and your zeal for the Holy See is too con spicuous to require an additional exlior -1 tation now. But, as alms-deeds impart a I peculiar efficacy to prayer, it is fit ting j that, during those three days there should ; be a collection taken up in every church I at the public cj*Arqjsq(Upnd this collection Will be for the Hrtly Fitther, as sonic sort of substitute for the Peter’s pence, so re* nmrkably diminished with us by the lutrd ! ships of the times. We take this occasion to protest in our own name, and iu the name of every < 'atho -1 lie iu our diocese, against the iniquitous measures adopted by the enemies of re* j ligimi in Europe for the overthrow of the i Kingdom of Christ,, and the substitution of the Kingdom of Satan iu its stead. We protest especially against the sacri legious law pursuant to which the Picd i montese Government, true to its rapacious | instincts, completes the spoliation of re* | ligipus houses, and aims thereby what it ! counts upon as a fatal blory agaiubt the ex i istetiee of the Ghnivh herself. | In unision with all the bishops living ! under Prussian rule we protest against the 'wicked laws passed by that government, j now Aranlt With victory and rioting iu tho i delirium of momentary success, for tho , oppression of the Catholic Cherch and its ministers; but its machinations will bo frustrated; it strikes against tho comer stone of the divine edifice, at the base of : which all its pretensions will be smothered <*u their own dust. Those laws we de | riormee as directly affecting the liberty of j tlie church, as opposed lo the constitution ; named for it by its divine founder, and : implying the negation of tjic fuudummitid i principle of Christianity, the divinity of our 1 domed Lord. We woutri here also hnlrfup the honest , ; Juabty indignation of,a, (run people the liy ' pop iwy of Kip riwiss so-called liberals, who ; nufter the nVitne of lilterty/ seek t0..-crump ! and shackle the consciences of their Cut ho | lie. fellow countrymen into au odious and galling servitude. The reverend pastors are requested, while 1 reading this pastoral letter to their respect ive flocks, to iusiston the declarations which ; we make here, that the Catholics of tlie diocese may all bo acquainted with the lavipuls yn wlnioh .oursotunui protestation islffed It'-is our d< sire that the Gatho- I liir-sW-ietM; iffil espenalb-’iWe '(litfi'OTc Militant Union of the Cross, instituted par ticularly for the defence of the rights of | the Church, would likewise protest with all : their energy in the meetings which they will hold for this special purpose. For these reasons, having invoked the ' name of God, we have ordained and do or ■ dain that which is hereinafter prescibed, viz: I’irst- A solenui triduum of prayers Rill be held in every church and chapel of our ffiogeso dai’jng the . three days preceding the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. Second During those three days there will be, in each church, at least one public ex* ereise, either iu the morning or in tlie evening, as Urn pgslqr may. judge primer. Whefe eOnVPtitem. tlte proftrr is free'to have those devotions twice a duy. . Third—Each day, at either of those exert eises of devotion, the Litany of Saints, pro scribed by the Holy Father, have to bo re cited. Fourth -The Benediction of tho Blessed Sacrament may be given once a day; but to the usual prayers, the invocation, re peated three times, Puree Doming is to be subjoined with the pray dr Deue; <fiti culpa | ajf'undcris at the close. Fifth—At each one of these exercises, the I collection, as already indicated will be for I the Hoiy Father. !' *smr 'flie mifftffn' are VxhbrlM to combine with these exercises fervent com* ; munions, acts of piety, penance and other . good works, in order to render God more ' flexible to onr prayers. Seventh —The Rev. Pastors are invited ;to instruct their flocks, each day of the | triduum, on its great importance, and to ! impress them with a sense of our views 1 and intentions in issuing this pastoral let* j ter. Eigtk—The Holy Father having gr.’Ufcd ! seven years ihdHlgehcb for each day of the I triduum, and a plenary indulgence to ! those who, having duly confessed their j sins, shall receive communion during the * Triduum, on the Feast of tho Assnmpr Ition, or on.any day during the octave, it is •hoped that ull the; faithful wiU avail them selves of the sprifila! advantages ‘thereby placed within their reach. Ninth L'ppn the receipt of this letter, the reverend pastors are authorized to omit j the prayer —pro serenitate. !
