Archbishop Purcell’s Troubles. The Catholic Church Property in Cincinnati to be Placed in the Hands of Trustees for the Benefit of the Archiepiscopal Savings Bank Depositors. Cincinnati, Jan 19.—The greater part of the property of the Catholic Church in Cincinnati and vicinity will to-morrow be turned over to a Board of Trustees to be managed in the in¬ terest of the creditors of Archbishop Purcell. The property consists of St. Peter’s Cathedral, St. Joseph’s Semina¬ ry, the orphan asylum at Cummins ville, the Considine property on Price’s Hill, the Cathedral school-house, cor¬ ner of Elizabeth and Mound streets, the old St. John’s Hospital together corner with of Third and Plum streets, a large amount of securities, notes, mortgages, accounts, etc. The Trustees are Fathers P. A. Quinn, of the Cathe¬ dral; J. C, Albrinck, of Holy Trinity Church; Charles Stewart, a paper deal¬ er; Joseph P. Rogers, and Treasurer Joseph of the Marine Railway, Grever, of Grever, Tangeman & Co. This board will hereafter manage all of the finan¬ cial affairs of the diocese in the inter¬ est of the members of the church who have Archbishop. deposited their thorough savings with the A examination of the situation discloses the fact that the liabilities of the Archiepiscop al Savings Bank are about $500,000- Tl he property turned over to secure the debt is worth at least $1,000,000, but if it should prove inadequate, every building and piece of ground in Cin¬ cinnati owned by the Catholic Church will be placed in the hands of the Trustees. The Trustees have deter¬ mined to issue bonds to the amount of the indebtedness, which bonds will be payable at any time after three years and within twenty. They will bear five per cent, interest, and the proper¬ ty turned over to the Trustees will be people pledged for their redemption. Catholic are much pleased at the pros¬ pect of a speedy termination of the troubles which have embarrassed the Church. The desire for the retention of the Arohbishop in his high office is general among all classes. The report that his resignation has been accepted at Rome is not credited here. A Turkey Loses his Clothes while Drunk. A Glenburn farmer came into the city recently, and among other things purchased that some rice and a pint of whisky Fearing the bottle might get bro¬ ken on the way home,? he placed it in the box containing the rice. When he reached home and took the box from the pung he found that the stopple had got out of the bottle, and rice and whisky were thoroughly mixed. He dumped the contents of the box behind the barn, and in a short time a b”ge turkey came along aud, as he was not as particular as the farmer, gobbled up the medicated rice. Shortly after this the farmer was greatly surprised to find they turkey lying out behind the barn “dead as a door-nail,” and vowing vengeance on the ruau who sold him whisky and enough to kill a turkey, lie carried the bird into the house. The farmer was soon after seen carrying the naked bird as every feather was gone with the exception of the wings and tail—out behind the stable, wh he left it on the mow. The next ing when he entered the-stable, it being hardly light, he detected what thought turkey was the ghost of that p.rale aud could ulrnoet feel hi, hair rise; but he made up his mind to investigate the matter aud boldly 1 ad anti. j r magine , lie sutpiise, • cu ge tiug nearer, to discover tho bird ering on the roost, and looking at him with reproachful eye. for having stolen hi. clothe, while helplessly drunk. last accounts the turkey was doing wel l as could be expected during zero weather. —Bangor (Me.) Whig, Buying Palestine. The project proposed some time since in Great Britain by leading Jews of the country to buy Palestine is said to have been completed. The Rothschilds, Montefiorf’ and other prominent and w ealthy financiers have entire confi¬ dence, it is reported, in the success of the undertaking, and are moving ener¬ getically toward its early achievement. The Secretary of the association formed for the purpose, who is, by the by, a Christian in creed, says that the Jews of the whole world seem to be in sym¬ pathy with the plan, and will do their utmost, individually and collectively, to further it. Those familliar with Palestine will not regard it as specially desirable, for its main features are not very attractive. It is not an extensive country—not more ihan 145 miles long and 45 miles broad, on an average— and ought to be be bought cheap. The plain of Philistia is its best part, the soil being of rich brown loam, without a stone. It is now, as it has always been, a vast grain-field—an ocean of wheat without a break or fence. Its extraordinary fertility is shown by the fact, that it has produced the same suc¬ cession of crops year after year for 40 centuries without artificial aid. Many tourists have such numberless associa¬ tions with Palestine that they have idealized it prodigiously ; but to a man who views it without bias it is a dreary, face, disagreeable land, its undulating sur¬ rounded hills separated by narrow glens, and its crevasses striking the eye monotonously and unpleasantly. So much has been said for generations of the Jews regaining possession of Jeru¬ salem, that it is agreeable to think that certainly they are l’kely to do so at last. They deserve Jerusalem.— IV. Y. Times. Exercise Common Sense. ed People who have faith in the publish¬ theories and opinions of physicians must be alarm kept, one might health. think, in per¬ petual about their They are very apt to learn every few weeks that something they have been doing or eating regularly, under the impres¬ sion that it is very wholesome, is just the contrary ; that the thing, whatever it be, cannot be continued without . serious perhaps fatal, consequences. Articles of food that have been esteem¬ ed very healthful are pronounced a fertile cause of disease, and are to be shunned as deadly. The latest alleged discovery of this kind is that the unof¬ fending potato begets diptheria. Several physicians of some local repute in the West have endeavored to sustain this theory, showing, however, more inge¬ nuity than judgment thereby. All that, is clearly shown is that some persons who eat potatoes have diphtheria, which is credible enough, since everybody eats potatoes. Some time ago it was claim¬ ed, on medical authority, that tomatoes generate eancer, and it has been assert¬ ed that grapes beget rheumatism, We can hardly think of any sort of diet which has not been declared very in¬ jurious some time by somebody. We expect every day to hear that fresh air is poisonous; that regular exercise is debilitating; linen that frequent change ot does incalculable harm. Accord¬ ing to physicians, taken as a body, nothing be is quite safe. One tells you that to entirely healthy you must pursue this course ; another tells you that just such a course will destroy you. Among such a multiplicity of contradic¬ tory counselors the best rule is to listen to all, and obey your own common sense. Tm Father of Twenty-Five Sons —Hiram Y. Reese died recently at his residence in Franklin county, Pa., within a few months of ninety^two years of age. He was the father of twenty-five sons, twenty of whom are yet living, the eldest being sixty-six and the youngest twenty-four. His first wife had six sons, his second eleven and his third eight, and six of the children were twins. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and had nine sons in the Union army during the late war, two of whom were killed at the first battle of Bull Run, a third at Ball’s Bluff, and a fourth wae drowned during Banks’s ill-starred Red River •xpedition. He was a remarkably robust man and never but once during his life did he take medicine.

A Story about Queen Victoria’s Hopeless Affection for an American. [From a New York Letter.] In the list of arrivals in this city at one of our principal hotels appeared, lately, tie name of “Richard Vaux, Philadelphia.” A simple announce ment, that of the arrival of a plain citizen of the United States, and yet, if fate had not been dead set against him, Mr. Vaux might have been long the consort of a Queen. Ever so ago, Richard Vaux was a marvelously handsome and fascinating young being man. He went to Europe, and, pos¬ sessed of large means, had access to the best of society, and even attracted the notice of the young Queen of the England, who had but then come to throne. It is said—the story being told to me by persons high in authority in Eng¬ land—that her heart’s first affections were given to Richard Vaux, of the Quaker City, and she would hav. mar¬ ried him, too, if she had been al.owed, but State reasons prevailed could to deter her. The Queen of England royal blood, not marry and a subject even of therefore, she was forced to forget her fancy for the American—or not quite forget it—for in memory of it, my in¬ formant says she has permitted her children to marry according to their heart’s choice rather than for ambition's sake. Vaux lingered in England until her marriage with Prince Albert put an end to his wildest hopes, and then returned to his native land. Among his many gifts “I’ll was a Hang splendid voice, and the ballad of my Harp on a Willow Tree,” was compos¬ ed by him, Victoria being the heroine of the plaint. Swallowing a Billiard Cue, and Sundry Weapons of War. Signor Forstile’s Wonderful Dinner—Bayo. nets, Spiced, in a West-Side Barroom. ' Signor Forstile swallowed six mar¬ bles, a billiard cue, and a few other things, in a Hudson street barroom, last evening. He had been duly adveriis-. ed. His advertisement was headed “Raffle for a Horse” and “The Human Stomach,” and it declared: “Among other incredible feats, he (Signor For¬ stile) will at one time swa 1 low four (4) crooked swords, and demonstrate the herculean strength of his muscle by bending solid bars of iron across his naked arm, throwing completely in the shade the Grecian and Roman heroes of necromancy aud strength.

The 9wa i lowing of four crooked swords all together, also, was similar to what Signor Forstile done before, but the eating of half a dozen marbles was novel. The Signor handed the marbles to different persons in the audience with directions that they should feed him with them. “This does no harm to me nor to those who look at me, gentle men,’’he said, a 3 he went round with open mouth and one marble after an 0 thor was tossed in.

To an eminent preacher was not a disagreeable thing, although not pro¬ ductive of much pleasure ; but to know that over all the earth his words were read and his influence felt was a source of extreme gratification. Thirty million seven thousand and ninety-eight dollars will be required to pay the bills of New York city during 1879. This sum is $1,000,000 less than was asked for, but only $100,000 less than the amount appropriated last year. The heaviest account is $8,790,- 153, for interest on the city debt. The next heaviest accounts are the police fund, $4,048,100, and the school fund, $3,400,000. The College of the city of New York cost $140,000, and $30,000 are appropriated for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The German Kaiser has received by mail a naive letter from a servant girl. “Majesty,” she writes, “do send a couple of lines to my Robert.

But do, I pray, send your most high commands to him at the latest by Saturday, so that he may come again to visit me next Sunday.” She goes on to say that if the Kaiser will not write to "her Robert,” she does not believe that any power on earth can move him, and that she will be obliged to throw herself in¬ to the Oder.
