Wilmer Mclean, a real estate dealer at
Manassas, Virginia, owned the farm on
which the first battle of the rebellion was
fought at Bull Run, and that upon which
the last was contested at Appomattox. A

foe to use in an attempt to overthrow the
government of his country is open, to the
criticism of the patriot.

peared in the Tabernacle of Penance at 9
o'clock in the morning. At that hour a
number of male converts were being bap-
tized at the altar by the Rev. John X.
Mcdonald, pastor Of the church, when a
beautiful procession of young girls, robed
IN white and draped in gauze wells, guided
6y the Sisters of st. Joseph and followed
oy boys OF the school, under the direction
OF the Brothers Of ST. Francis, entered the
church, each girl carrying lighted taper.
The scene at this time was deeply impress
sive. when it suddenly changed to one OF
terror. The fame of a candle borne -by
one Of the little girls in the procession set
fire TO her veil, when from veil TO veil
nearly halfway down tho middle aisle the
demon Of fire seemed to leap and do
YOUR as II lcaped, igniting like train Of
gunpowder. The children, somewhat
panic-stricken, broke ranks and rushed
toward the grand altar, where the bap-
tismal water was thrown upon them, and
several gentleman Of the congregation tore
the burning wells from them. Only three
Of the children suffered from the flames
and these only slightly, while a large num-
Der lost their wells and portion of their
hair. The remarkable presence of mind
exhibited by Father Mcdonald on this
occasion doubtless prevented a very serious
panic. He ordered the mass to proceed
directed the choir to sing an enlivenhg
anthem, and commanded the congregation
TO remain seated while he himself contin-
ued with the baptismal ceremonies. The
scene of terror over, first communion, the
most important event in the life of the
young Catholic, was administered TO about
400 children, MS well as to several adult
converts who had been baptized snort
time previously. The renewal of the bap-
tismal vow was then made by each, after
Father Mcdonald addressed them on the
solemnity and importance cf the occasion:
and earnestly besought them never to vio-
late the promise they had made at confes.
sion and baptism.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Rt
Rev. Bishop Laughlin administered the
rite of the confirmation to the 400 commu-
nicants of the morning, and delivered an
address explanatory of that rite.

THE MAN-WOLF.
Who re Il and what lie IL.

lrIoW enc PeUot
Early last winter, parties living several
miles from Windsor discovered in the
woods, huddled up against log in a vain
effort to get warm, a curious kind Of beast on
man, one can scarcel y tell which. Though
''lr' Is fenrfuily deformed, his hands COW
cred with long, coarse hair, face grown
full of rank whiskers, eyes looking like
those Of wolf, and his present csptors
are said TO treat him more like dog than
a poor unfortunate lunptc. After being
on exhibition in Windsor for few days,
the ''man wolf" as he was named was
brought over here, and is at present on
Michigan avenue in charge Of parties
who intend to travel with him rs n ''show''
this summer. 1t is the general opinion
that the strange being is the man who es-
capped from tho lunatic asylum at Maiden
last fall, but this is an error. The fugitive
was n strong, tall man, standing very
stiff and erect, whereas this specimen is
badly deformed, and would not have been
the rapid flight made by the lunatic in
question. But how the being came in the
vicinity of Windsor no one is able to
tell, or at least has not yet in
formed the public. A man named Seth
Station yesterday, and after paying visit

facts. The lunatic was at first confined
in chamber Of the ehouse, but he attracted
so much attention from the passers-by and
so disturb bed the inmates of the house, that
a small building was soon built for bis es-
pecial keeping. Very few people ever
saw the unfortunate, but hundreds OF
farmers passing by used to hear MN
scream and beat the walls of his prison.
At length one night he made his
escape, and Rosscommon WAS COM
pelled to ask the assistance of his
neighbors to secure him. They found him
in swamp, eating bark and roots, but
he exhibited the utmost ferocity when an
attempt was made to catch him, finally
leaving the swamp when couple of dogs
were sent in after him, and one of the
scars on his face was received while the
men we're binding him. Mr.. Narmore
was one of the pursuers, and he Is quite
positive that this "man-wolf" is the iden-
tical lunatic, as that one did finally make
good his escape, and no one was able to
hunt him down.
1t is asserted, and II has been reported
to the superintendent of police, that tho
owners" of this stranger do not treat him
as they should. He is kept chained good
share of the time, and the rough boys of
the neighborhood are allowed to tease and
vex him. If there is good reason for be-
lievng that he has escaped from the lu-
natic asylum, there ought to be an inves-
tigation made by the police, or some prop
er official. Without doubt he is crazy, as
we'll as fierce and rsvenous, and it would
be only humane and decent for him to be
taken from his present owners and sent
to the county house or insane asylum.

HoUsEKEEpERs whose souls have
been tried in the endeavor to make old,
tough fowls seat like spring chickens,
will thank US for the following.
"If hens spur is hard. and the scales
on the legs rough, she is old, whether you
see the head or not but the head will
corroborate your observation. II the un-
der bill is so stiff that you cannot bend it
down, and the comb thick and rough,
leave her, no matter how fat and plump,
for some one less particular. A young
hen has only the rudiments Of spurs the
scales on the legs are smooth, glossy, and
fresh-colored, whatever the color
may be; the claws, tender and short the
nails sharp; the under-bill soft; and the
comb thin and smooth. An old hen-tur-
key has rough scales on the legs, caliosities
on the soles of the feet, and strong claws |;
q young one has the reverse Of all these
marks. When the feathers are on, and
the old turkey-cock has long tuft of
beard, young one has sprouting one; /;
and when they are off, the smooth scales
on the legs decide the point, besides the
difference in size of the wattles Of the neck,
and in the elastic shoot upon the nose. An
old goose when alive is known by the
rough legs, the strength Of the wings,
particularly at the pinions, the thickness
and strength of the bill, and the fneness
of the feathers and when plucked, by the
legs, the tenderness Of the skin under the
wings, by the pinions and the bill, and the
coarseness OF the skin. Ducks are distin-
guished by the same means, but there Is
this difference--that duckling's bill is
much longer in proportion to the breadth
than the old duck. A young pigeon is
discovered by its pale colors, smooth
scales, tender, collapsed feet, and the yell
low long down interposed among it's
feathers. A pigeon that can fly, has al
ways red-colored legs and no down, and is
then too old for use'
