St. Patriclx's Body Found.

While the workmen engaged in the
renovation of St. Patrick's Cathedral,
Dublin-the oldest church in Ireland =
were digging up portion of She flooring
in one of the aisles they discovered large
stone coffin of curious work kmanship, buri-
ed few feet below the surface. The
coffin, when opened, was found to contain
the skeleton of an ecclesiastie, supposed
to have been buried there six hundred
years The skull was perfect, and the
bones crumbled into dust when exposed
to the air. On the lid of the coffin there
was full length figure of bishop in his
robes. 1t was inspected by some anti
quarians, including DR.. Todd, who ex
pressed it as his belief thas is was the orr
ginal founder of the church, St. Patrick
1t is in good preservation, and it is in
every respect a most interesting relic
When the church rs Gnished it will be
placed in most prominens poaition, be-

waiting to see the working OF this clock
as it strikes the hour of noon, Every ey,
is upon the clock. 1t wants five minute.
to twelve. The clock has struck and tht
people are gone, except few whom tn,
sexton or head man, with wand anl
sword, is conducting round the build
lug.
The clock has struck in this way: The
dial is some twenty feet from the floor
and on each side Of which is a cEerub OIL
little boy with mallet, and over the
dial is a small bell. The cherub on the
left strikes the first quarter, that on the
right the second quarter. Some fifty feet
above the dial, in a large niche, is huge
figure of Time, bell in his left, scythe
In his right hand. In front stands ng
ure of a young man with a mallet, who
strikes the third quarter on the hell in
the hand of Time, and then turns an 4
glides, with a slow step, round behind
Time; then comes out an old man with a
maIlet and places himself ia front.
As the hour of twelve comes the old
man raises his maliet and deliberately
strikes twelve times on the bell, that
echoes through the building, and is heard
allround through the region Of the church
T1c old man slides behind father Time,
and the Young man comes round again.
As suon as the old man has struck tweyls
and disappeared, another set of machinery
is put in motion, some twenty feet higher
still. 1t is thus: There is high cross
with the image Of Christ. The instant
twelve is struck, one of the apostles walks
out from behind, comes III front, turns
facing the cross, bows, and walks on
around to his place.
AS he does so another comes out in
front, turns, bows, and passes in. So
twelve apostles, figures large as life, walk
round, bow. and pass on. As the last
appears, an enormous cock, perched on
the pinnacle of the clock, slowly flaps It's
wings, puts forth IT'S neck and crows three
times. so loud as to be heard outside Of
the church to some distance, and SO
natural as to be mistaken for cock
Tl.eu all is silent as death. No wonder
this clock is the admiration of Europe.
1t was made in 1871, and has performed
these mechanical powers ever since, ex
cept about Fifty years, when it stood for
repairs.

to restrain within decorous language the

ft His first official act was an oath, a
solemn oath, calculated to bind the con-
science of an honorable man and restrain
the acts of dishonorable one. Many
times has Mr.. Lincoln violated his oath.
Let the political casusts defend him.
Now he violates his oath openly and pub
fishes his shame His own words in past
time, denying to himself any such pur
pose as he is now accomplishing, are all
that is necessary to convict him of per-
jury. Other commentary is needless.
Political opponents can afford to be dumb.
Out of his own mouth is the President
condemned He has again and again dis
claimed that the object of the war was
abolition; he has again and again char
acterized such prostitution of the war
for the Union as lawless and wicked; he
has accepted the pledges of his party,
whose platform disavowed any such pur
pose in its creed or hopes as abolition by
the federal government; to his party to
the public, to Congress, he has reiterated
these disavowals; to foreign nations by
the pen of his Secretary of State, he has
declared the same thing, branded such
purpose as unconstitutional. and declared
its impossibility of accomplishment, even
if united in by Congress, the people, and
the executive, for the reason that judicial
would be .interposed to pre-
vent it,

The Children of Arnold the
Traitor.

Mrs. Arnold, wife of Benedict Arnold,
died in Lendon in 1904, in her forty
fourth year. Of her children, Mr.. Sabine
in his new edition of The American
Loyalists, which will sosD be published,
has collected the following account:
"Mrs. Arnold was the mother of four
sons and one daughter, namely: Edwin
Shippen, who was Lieutenant in the
Bengal cavalry and paymastcr of Mattra,
and who died in India In 1913; james
Robertson, of whom presently; George,
who was Lieutenant Colonel in the
Bengal cavalry, and who died in India in
1925 William Fitch; who, magistrate
in the county of Bucks, England, and
late Captain in the Lancers, married the
only daughter of Captain Rudaeh, of the
Royal navy,s and who, the: father of six

the engineers in Nova Scotia and New

he visited his father house-King street,
St. John-and, as I have often been told,

mothers family in the United States; but
added, II suppose / should be insulted
on account of my father, &c. A gentle
man who was in service with him, and an
intimate acquaintance, speaks of him in
terms of high commendation; and relates.
that he was a small man, with eyes Of
remarkable sharpness, and in features
thought TO resemble his father. His wife
was Virginia, daughter of Bartlett Good
rich, Of Che Isle of Wight. In 1S41 he
was transferred from the engineers, and
appointed Major General. and Knight
of the Hanoverian Guelphic Order. He

The Number. of Negro Troops

Now that great battle has been lost
the effects of three months of the most
terrific fighting and bloodshed the world
ever saw rendered worse than nugatory
and nation humiliated because of the
cowardice and inef6ciency of negro troops,
lit is proper to publish few facts and
figures in regard to these black pets OF
Mr.. Lincoln and his shoddy abolition
friends, to whose elevation the advance
ment of white soldiers has been made
subservient, and whom the shoddy i'm
practicables would have us consider the
heroes Of war.
1t has been affirmed thousand times,
by officials of every grade, from the Pres
ident down, that we have over one hun
Gred thousand negro troops in the field.
Now there are not fifty thousand, as we
propose to show.
The fact is, all the talk about great
army of ''colored defenders ~ has been
founded on no frmer basis than a hope
In the Southwest, where the magnificent
scheme of making warriors out of negroes
has had the most unobstructed play, a
large number of regiments technically
termed skeleton have been organized
But none of them have attained in point
Of numbers the legal minimum. And,
in regard to those whose ranks have been
the fullest, the friends of this wonderful
plan have been sadly disappointed. Some
of these eolored military gentlemen have
been overpowered by a weakness for which
they are somewhat noted-running away;
an enormous percentage have died; while
Of the remnant it has been found impuS-
sible to make soldiers. They are either
enthusiastically lazy or chronically un
we'll.
But to return to the statement that we
have one hundred thousand black war
riors under arms. Let us see how the
published official figures compare with
this assertion From June Is, 1868 (at
which time the law permitting the raising
of negro troops went inte operation,) to
October 81, 1863, according to the last
annual report of the Secretary Of War,
the number of negro troops raised was
