An Editorial Wreck.

The editor of the Montgomery Mail
writes from Louisville the folio wing melsn-
choly paragraph Yesterday I had an in
terview with Mr.. Prentice. He is not the
man he was ten years ago. Indeed. his
genius is gone and his person ie q mere
wreck. His family is broken up-Wife
dead, one son killed on the Confederate
side, another settled on a farm down the
river-and the old man, verging on three
score and ten, cooks his breakfast and din
ner in his little room on the third floor Of
the Courier Building and lives only in
conversation about the past. This man
once welded an imperial power with his
wit and music. Now, the world has whril-
ed past him, and he lies on the shore a
mere stranded wreck.

The Wild Hunt for Office.

Although some thousands of the faithful
have been rewarded and most of the first
class places inside the UniIed States have
been disposed of. the wild hunt for Office still
continues. The vast and hungry swarm of
expeotants which filed the Washington ho-
tells and boarding houses for the frst week
or two after the Inauguration has melted
away; but numerous little gangs of clam
OrOus and hopeful Office beggars still hang
around the great charity hospitals at both
ends of the avenue.

An imperial Republic.

The Cincinnati Commercial of a late
date contains an article in which it
takes general view of the expansion of
our national territory, aud, having settled
the geographical points after an uncommOn-
ly liberal and patriotic fashion, it concludes
as follows:
One thing more would be required to
complete this vast political autonomy. At
least one-third of the people of the present
States believe tbs Constitution to have been
so changed by continual tinkering, and to
have lost so much of its power by miscon-
struction, that 1t is no longer a desirable
| organic law. The other two-thirds see
inadaptation to the exigencies of our time
and are continually suggesting amendments
to it. What, then, more proper and neces-
sary than the calling of a grand national
convention, composed Of representatives
not only from the present States, but from
the States carved out of the Dominion
of Canada, British Columbia, tie West In
dia Islands, and such territories as have
not been organized into States, to make
q Constitution, as did the fathers, but with
clearer definition of powers, general and
local, than that framed now nearly a centu-
ry ago-a Constitution which shall recog-
nize, beyond cavil, the nationality of the
Republic, and declare the supremacy Of
the National Government in all things that
relate to the great and general rights of
man, as we'll as to those interests which are
the common veal? This, at least, is the
programme of the future to which events
point with uneFring finger.

The Confederate Dead.

The Banner Of a recent date in noticing
the Tennessee Memorial Association makes
the following eloquent appeal:
The nation has collected the Federal
dead and preserved their remains as a
monument Of national honor. The Con-
federate dead have no nation !; their cOun-
try died with them. They must be cared
for by the living who buckled on their
arms and sent them to die. Let each one
make this his own cause and assist in this
last sad tribute to the memory Of our mar
tyred sons and brothers.

A Gond Example

A visitor once went to q Sabbath School
where he saw little boy and girl on the
same seat, who were brother and sister. In
a moment of thoughtless passion the little
boy struck his sister. The little girl was
provoked and raised her hand to return
the blow. Her face showed that rage was
working within, and her clenched fist
was aimed at her brother, when her teach
er caught her eye. "Stop, my DEAR" said
she, you had better kiss your brother than
strike him." Tie look and words reached
her heart. Her hand dropped. She then
threw her arms around his neck and kiss
ed him. The boy was moved. He could
have stood against blow, but he could not
withstand sisters kiss. He compared
the pTovocatiOn he had given her with the
return she had made, and the tears rolled
down his cheeks. This affected the sister
and with her little handkerchief she wiped
away his tears. But the sight of her kind
ness only made him cry the faster l.; he was
completely subdued. Her teacher then
told the children always to return a kiss
for blow, and they would never get any,
more blows.

A Few Things That Are to Come.

a Few 1u1uS5 k48G are 70 SOm6.
Before the imprin: of the Journal bears
the date of 1900, science and art will have
so far advanced as to have effected COM
plete revolutions in many of the industri-
al processes end methods of securing
health, comfort and convenience to the
human race.
Vast gas manufactures will be found in
all the great cities and towns, in which the
invisible agent will be manufactured sole.
ly for the purpose of Cooking the food and
warming the Dwellings of the Inhabitants.
These works will be independent Of those
established for making illuminating gas
1t will not be necessary to purify the fuel
gas so fully, aUd 1t will, in most places, be
made from wood. The cost will be so low,
and the convenience SO great, other kinds
of fuel will, in large measure, be dis
pensed with. No ashes, no smoke, no
dust-what glorious realisation this will
be. At that time the air, the earth, and
the sea will be full of conducting wires,
aud electric currents will flow constantly
In every direction. A new order of things
will prevail in our postofices. The click,
click of the telegraph instrument will be
heard, instead of the snap of the lock
which closes up the wide mouths of the
mail bags. The small sum of ten cents
(perhaps less) will place correspondents in
instant communication with each other, no
matter how widely they may be separated.
Although the industrial arts will have
enormously increased, less steam power
will be employed. Electrical or some
other of the hidden forces of nature will
be hsrnessed to the primary moving wheels
of the great manufacturing establishments
and smoke and vapor will no longer mark
their location to the distant traveller.
The sick will not be required to swallow
disgusting doses of medicine. Remedies
will be administered through other ave-
| nues than the stomach. Chemistry will
have eliminated the vital active principles
from all curative agents and, through the
cellular subcutaneOus covering. and other
at present closed doors of access, the in.
duence of therapeutic agents will be brought
to bear directly upon diseased parss.
Light will be let in upon nearl

sg5OsEg Potatoes

The Durand Times tells its readers
about neighbor who planted potato
weighing one quarter Of pound, and
got forty and one half pounds of pota-
toes IN return. That yield was enor-
nous Mr.. Times, but Capt. Cook of this
place can beat it. Last spring he re
ceived potato of the Early Rose variety
from friend in Cincinnati, which
weighed a trihe over quarter of a
pound. Dividing the potato, he planted
it in number of hills. The plants
thrived, and upon coming to maturity,
this week, they were dug. From that
single potato Mr.. Cook got exactly seq
enty pounds, or over bushel in return
And there are no small ones among
them, all being above the medium size
Mr.. G.. also planted three quarts of the
White Sprout variety and received 81
bushels in return! The Early Rose is
nearly white and the White Sprout is
entirely so. Both are earlier than the
Goodrich variety. Mr.. Cook will doubt
less have them on exhibition at the fair
next month.

INTERESTING CATHOLIC PRO-
CEEDINGS.
Forty-tvvo Persons Confirmed.

There is no religious sect IN the world
so devoted to oil the rites and cere-
monies" of the church, as are the Cath
oics. Catholic children, from their ear
lest infancy, are thoroughly taught, not
only to reverence their religion as the
only true one, but to keep all its sacred
observances, and to fulfil to the very let
ter even its lightest obligations. In
this devotedness to the requirements of
the church, is found the secret of Cath
Ole unity aud strength. 1t is power
that time cannot weaken and opposition
cannot defeat. No matter in what coun-
try or under what influences, a Catholic
seldom abjures his religion. Born into
the church, baptized in its established
ordinaces, tho Catholics cling to their
religion with tervor that never cools,
and zeal that is never abated."
In this city, on Thursday, the 9th,
inst, we observed an other instance of
the interest the Catholics take in their
church. 1t was the occasion Of the con-
firmation of over forty members. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
erend Bishop HEIsE of La Crosse. Tie
church was filled to OVERLOOKING, large
numbers being present from the sur
rounding country.
The ceremonies were very Interesting
and impressive. The Bishop was assls-
ted by Fathers YER WYsT, of Hudson.
Able of La Crosse and KNAuFE of
Red Wing, MINI. MICHEL FITzPAT-
RICK and Mrs. j. THEURER acted as
sponsors.
High Mass was celebrated in the
usual manner, and there was preaching
in both English and German. ThelBish-
op was arrayed in his sacerdotal rooes,
with cap on and rod in hand. The can
didates for confirmation were brought
forward. One of theApriests vouched
for their fitness TO rece8 the holy rite,
the Bishop dipped bis hand in the ''holy
OIL" and with his thumb made cross
upon the forehead of the candidate, say
ing: l sign you with the sign of the
holy cross, and confirm you with the
Chrism OF salvation; in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost" The Bishop then gave a slight
blow on the cheek to put the person con-
frmed in mind that by confirmation he
was strengthened, to suffer with patience
and even die for Christ. The other
priest then wiped the forehead, and the
ceremony was ended.
