Mrs. George Choquette, who has been blind for five years, returned to Holyoke, Mass., July 2lst, from Quebec, com- pletely cured by Ste. Anne de Beaupre. Since she was stricken with blindness she has made every endeavor to be cured, and ber husband, who is foreman in a paper mill of Holyoke, Mass., has spent thous- ands of dollards. Her husband tells the following story of the miraculous cure : ‘Two months ago,” said he, “1 resolved to send my wife to Montreal, where she consulted the famous specialist, Dr. Desjardins. He did no better . than our local physicians, andI sent her to another specialist who was also unsuccessful. At this time her eyes were so bad that there was only a blur befcre them. She could not distinguish any object. The shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre is located a few miles below Quebec, and is noted through- out Canada, if not the world. . Reaching Quebee on the 9th of the present month, she went immediately to the shrine, reach- iog there ou July 10. We arrived in the morning and attended low Mass and re- ceived Holy Communion. Then we secur- ed the holy water from the well of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, knowing if there was to be any cure it must come through this. Chat night we went to Montreal. The next morning my wife bathed her eyes in the holy water and almost immediately she gave a cry of joy. **Mon Dieu !’ she exclaimed, I can see ! I can see |’ and, sure enough she could not only discern objects and persons near her, but these at some distance as well. Then we both gave thanks to God for His great kindness. It was a happy day, | can tell you. We reached Holyoke, and my wife saw her loved children for the first time in a number of years.” Later a correspondent called upon the Holyoke and springfield physicians who had at attended Mrs. Choquette. They are of the opinion that the womans sight was badly impaired but not lost. Had she con- tinued longer with them they might have helped or cured her. They do not attempt tu account for the miracle. —_— _— a The Hangman was Indignant. Berry, the British professional hangman, the other day, shuffled off a murderer name: Upton, and gave him so long a drop that the murderer's thin neck could not stand the strain, anda rather ghastly result followed. fhe coroner's jury was indignant, had Berry up for examination, when the comical specta- cle was presented of a gory hangman lecturing twelve good men and true and the coroner to boot. He informed them that by Parliament he was privileged from giving testimotiy, but he would do so, as he had a few observations to make. He censured them for being so long over their enquiry. Itshould be quite enough for them to know that he had done the job, In any other part of the country a jury would have finished their deliberations in half the time. He had given the man a five-foot drop, which was customary for a man of his height and age. It was not his fault that the mur- derer's neck was a particularly weak one. Death was as quick as lightning. He had spent his life in hanging people, knew more about the business than the jury, and could only wish them as quick and paintess a death if ever it should be their lot to perish that way. The jury, without more ado, decided that the murderer should not have had a weak neck. The hangman is a great man, and tre- mendously on his dignity, as was made evident by this event. i Personal. The autumn session of parliament, which is now unavoidable, wil] be an inconvenience to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who contemplated a visit to the Endycottes in America this fall. Gossips have it that a wedding will take place in January. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone go to Hawarden for the vacation, which will begin probably about August 15. Their golden wedding will occur shortly. and they are to be presented with magnificent portraits of themselves, Mrs. Glad- stone’s being by Herkomer and the ex-Pre- mier’s by Hall. The once eminent Polish patriot, Kurkowsk’, who died last month, is reported to have at- tained the age of 116 years. He is said to have followed the banner of Kosciusko in 1794, and served ander Napoleon in the Russian campaign in 1812. He distinguished himself in the Polish insurrection of 1530-31. We have heard a good deal lately about the hundreds of young men in our schools that are preparing to go as missionaries. But some- how they do not materialize in any overwhelm- ing numbers. The Bap‘ist Missio a-y U ion is heyging for five healthy, earnest, able men to go to India and Burma, and it connot find them. The Presbyterians have the same tale to teil. New York is said to be one of the strongest Catholic cities in the world. It has 75 parish churches, 40 chapels, 300 priests, 300 Bro- thers, 2,000 religious women, 4.000 pupils in its colleges, academies and parochial schools, and 15,000 poor or sick or orphaned cared for in its homes, hospitals, and asylums. Fully $30,000,000 are invested in Catholic churches and institutions, and there are 800.000 Catho- lics within the city limits. So the Boston Pilot tells us. SpLexpip Time.—-A Buffalo, N. Y., des- tch says:—Belle Hamlin performed a won- derful feat at the Buffalo Driving Park yesterday morning. She trotted a half mile in 1.02}—a 2.05 gait. No such time has ever been made by a trotting horse before. Maud S. recently went a half mile in 1.04, but that was down grade on the Fleetwood track. The test was made in the presence of a number of horsemen. Horace Brown warmed up the mare with a slow half mile, and then let her out for the rest of the mile. Belle fairly flew over the track, and never made a break. Horace Hunt, of Hornellsville, C. F. Dunbar. of Buffalo, Mr. Kerr, of Kerr, Lewis & Co., C. J. Hamlin and others held watches, and every one of the tickers registered 1.024 or better. Some made 1.024. The last quarter was made in 31 seconds. Mr. Hamlin said last evening that Belle would soon be sent to beat her record of 2.133, and he confidently expects that she will succeed. Many horsemen as that Belle will come close to Maud S8.’s record of 2.0%3. a The Daily Telegr aph's correspondeut at St. fom many of our leading citizens are found, a g to the merits of the ** Magic” Healer ‘ve, Although the edition of 25,000 is & | Be one, we believe they will be thrown wondeast over the land within the next few | Salve owe object being to get a place for the every home, that its character may Nome @ttablished as an article, though of Produ ‘tion, second te none now im- We hop: Mr. Ross may receive a Urn for the amounts invested in ad- e ret mans > every householder purthasing One etersburg says he is reliably infor med that Ace amas on Lacan the-Czar and the oe peror William was of a must cordial S ar acter, and that as 4 result of it Russia wi i in future, pursue a pacific p»licy.
