AN IRISH PAPER on TIE RICHMOND CITY
CoUScIL.-As to John NJ. Higgins, says
the Chicago Independent, the name "O'Hig-
gins" is one of the most distinguished in
the annals of Ireland. There was, at one
time, IN archbishop of the name in Tuam,
a highly learned man of royal blood. He
had Il brother league O'Higgin. The late
Bishop o. Higgins" the Dove of Ardagh'-
was a remarkable man for learning, piety,
and q bold defender, not only of the Faith,
but fearless opponent to British misrule.
He was the devoted friend of " John, Arch
bishop of Tuam, the Lion of the fold of
Juluh.' In the dark days of Irish perse-
cution the 0'liggins family nobly kept
guard on the fences of creed and country.
Governor Walker has honored himself in
his appointments of the City Council. From
this city Of Chicago, of the great West, We
tender him our congratulations. We have
observed other heroic Irish patronymics on
the list of councillors-Messrs. Scott, Eng
fish, and Davis. Though to some they
might not appear as Irish names, yet they
are SO, and many of those names are Cele-
brated in Irish history, And as to Thomas
Flaherty (recte O'Flaberty) the remote an
cestor was king of lar Connaught, and of
the same line was the late Anthony O'Fla-
herty, NJ. p. for Galway. In q history
written by the editor is a long account Of
the family as there is that of F. P. Bren-
nan, Esq, another councillor. We have
also on Governor Walkers list of council
lors McCance, a Wise, likewise either Hi
bernians or of Hibernian origin. We are
to hope that they will materially cooperate
with the Government to build up anew
Richmond, and that their conduct will shed
q lustre on Old Virginia-to which some of
the exile's forefathers were transported in
the days of Queen Anne for no other offence
than being Catholics. Some also were re-
demptioners, whose descendants fought gal
lautly in the late war for their rights.

A BUNCH OF RAGS.

Everybody liked Tom Hall. ano
everybody was sorry for him. 1t wa:
sad to see such fine young man tht
victim of drunkenness, and Tom hac
fallen into the Knockers power unwit
tingly, it seems. -f
A new dramshop had bsen opened
close to the foundry at which he work
ed, anil he along with others, was il
the habit of going in for glass of ale.
When the cold weather set in, he took
something stronger, and he imagined il
agreed with his spirits. -. ..a ~.
Time went on, and the liking for
strong drink increased and grew strong
er, until at all hours he might be seen
staggering out of the "Rainbow," diz-
zy and stupefed with the peisen ofthe
Intoxicating cup. no t- =E
Toms was very bad case, for he
belonged to respectable family, and
he had been religiously trained; and
until he had been drawn into snare,
he was an affectionato son and brother;
and friends counseled, and ministers
preached. andevery means was tried to
reclaim him, but all effort seemed to
be lost. Tom was bound hard and
fast in the invisible chains Of the mock
er. His family mourned hin as lost,
and many a silent tear his sister let
fall on his tattered garments, as she
sat patching and darning them.
Tom was infatuated, all agreed; but
for all that he was favorite, from the
mansion to the meanest hut in Arlie;
and some good people prayed forpoor
Tom Hall. - eI- .'.-. l.... ri
'nh, these rents will not darn again
said Jennie, as she turned over Toms
ragged garment. -
In Toms better days he had had
pride, and it was such sad change
when he didn't care who saw him tout
at the elbows" .r. "l so - .
But somehow Jennie could not find
it in her heart to abandon the brother
she still loved; and so Toms tattered
habil,ments were taken up again, and
made the most of. l.a- i s;
Kindness may win him back" said
Jennie, and when he came home, -
the worst he was met with words of
peace, if in sorrow. i1
Just as the trees were beginning to
bud with the promise Of spring, Tom
came home looking, thoughtful. He
was sober after long run.
In the last rays of the setting sun,
his sister was trying to cover some
darns. Tom sat down beside her, and
silently watched the patient fingers for
some time. --t-..lt n 80
That's tiresome work, Jennie, he
said. -.. t.,.s
His sister held up her scam before
him.
