THE BLARNEY STONE.

To the Union and American:
l am sorry you treat with so much levity
Mr.. sSnyder's admirable immigration bill.
Your special spleen seems to be the feature
exem pting immigrants from taxation. One
of the grand arguments for immigration
has been that increased population would
lighte the public debt by distributing it
over a wider surface of individuals; but |
always did think this very mean, merce-
nary argument, 1t is pretty kettle of fish
for you to set heels over head in debt, and
then ask others to come and help you out.
That is not the way this wicked world
wags, and the proposition betrays sublime
ignorance of human nature and ridiculous
impudence. You say to exempt immi-
grants is unconstitutional" then alter or
abolish your Constitution, if it stands in
the way, but let US have the immigrants.
We are bothered nightly about our Stale
debt, but we invite all the world to come
and share the blessings of government
without its costing them cent.
But my great grievance with you for op-
posing Mr.. Snyder's bill, is that it interferes
sadly with my own personal prospects.
You see was in hopes of getting a nice
situation as foreign agent. lam French
man from Cork, the main outlet of Irish
emigration. Half that county, and two
thirds of Kerry are kith and kin to me
belong to my sept (set or family by blood
or marriage; and was s2nguine of Undue
ing even the little Kerry cows to emigrate
to Tennessee. All need do would be to
stand on top of Barney Castle and as each
of my thirty-first cousins kissed the famous
stone, l could whisper a little barney in
their ears about the vast undeveloped
wealth Of Tennessee, subject with which
I am thoroughly familiar through the sterec-
typed eulogiums of our prints and pub
lie orations. If barney failed, potheen
would not, and could charge it to "inci-
dental expenses" thus getting my own Ii
quor free; of course l would have a private
arrangement with the bartender for re-
duced rates in view of the large custom l
would bring, and could pocket the differ
ence, charging the State full prices, as is
usual in all cases. You see could readily
convince any gulible State commissioner
that am just the man for the place, and
could seduce every mothers son of them to
Tennessee. Besides, my health, broken in
the service of the State in an humble Ca
pacity, calls for change of air and foreign
travel, and the cline of my dear native
green isle would be just the thing. But
YOU have blasted my fond hopes, as have
noticed that anything which the UNION
AND AMERICAN opposes is generally de-
feated, and so L shall Indignantly stop your
paper. No longer you friend,
HANDY ANDY.

cold hands and feet, accompanied with loss
Of appetite. The system becomes clogged +,

A SAD ACCIDENT.

An Aged Lady and Gentleman Run
over by the Hook and Ladder
Trucks.
Yesterday, when the Hook and Ladder
Company arrived near the burning store
house, Church street was filed with people
causing the driver to check his horses in
order for them to get out of the way. Start
ing again, the horses reached the building
through which the flames were bursting
and two aged persons, Mr.. John Ryan and
Mrs. FitzgiYens iu attempting to cross the
street, stopped to pick up a bundle when
they were both run over By the wheels of
the Hook and Ladder Truck. Two VIII els
passed over Mr.. Ryan's body but he has not
sustained any serious injury. Mrs. Fitz-
givens was not SO fortunate. She was
trampled down by the left horse, his hoof
striking between the occiptal projection
and parietal bone, cutting CASH over an
inch long, from which she bled profusely.
The wheels passed over both of her ankles,
but broke no bones. Her injuries are GER
tainly serious, aud may prove fatal. Drs.
Paul F. Eve and Holowell were summoned
and gave proper medical aid to the two
wounded persons.

Father RYan-MOinR.

1t will be seen by the following, which
we clip from the Morning Star and Catholic
Messenger, that the reports published con-
corning Father Ryan's health are but too
true. We cherish the hope, however, that
the balmy air of Italy may restore him to
health and strength, and that he will return
to his loved South, the greatness and glory
of whose SONS he has embalmed in immor-
tai verse:
OUR EDIToR-IN-C HIEF.-Last week we
received private letter from Father Ryan,
dated Rome, Jan. 80. He says: 81 have
deferred long time writing to you, but
ever since left America l have been sick.
For four weeks l was confined to bed and
was seriously sick, so that was obliged to
give up my trip to Palestine, and go back to
Paris to consult physicians. They advised
me to go back to Italy and then to Malta
for my health. l am also suffering from

Assault ON a locomotive.

We have heard of the man trying to butt
a locomotive off the track, but not until
last night did we know there was a man
who would be induced to assault such a
machine. Mr.. James Smith, unlike most
members of this small family, was arrested
for assaulting locomotive near the Louis.
vile depot with rocks, and firing at it with
dangerous Weapon. When arrested he
denied having pistol, but an examination
of his person discovered one like in size to
a mountain howitzer. He will explain the
reasons of his spite against the engine TO

Fire

About II o'clock yesterday the frame
grocery store-house and dwelling, belong.
ing to the Fitzgiven's sestate, and occu-
pied by Tim Kelly, caught fire from a de-
fective fue, and was destroyed. The stock
was small, and the loss principally in the
building valued at $1,000. The fire en-
gines were on hand and saved other frame
buildings in the vicinity from burning.
The line of hose from the Chattanooga
shops did much to check and extinguish the
flame. The adjoining house, No. 29S,
owned by Mr.. Thos. Larkins, suffered some
from fire and water, though the damages
are covered by insurance.

Schenck's PulmOnic Candy embraces

pleasant to the palate as the purest of con-
fections, its medicinal properties render it
efectusl in coughs, colds, bronchial and ca
tarrhal affections, etc. 1t is the most &C
eeptable remedy for children or infants, and
can be given with impunity; while for pro-
