Society Of st. Vincent dc Paul in St. Louis and
Boston.

AS some of our readers know, the days for
the general or quarterly communions and
meetings of the members of this Society are
fixed in the Manua by the great and special in
dufgences granted by the Holy See to those who
faithfully attend. Hence it is that on the same
day, in every portion of the globe where the
Society exists, all its members residing in the
same town or city, meet at specified church
to receive the Bread of Life, and again at an
other hour of the same day ut some hall to
hero the reports of the several conferences or
parochial sections. These meetings are gen.
orally attended by numbers of the clergy, who
everywhere evince the liveliest interest in the
'aII elfare of the Society, it being considered by
them as the very best of all societies for men,
at the last general meeting in this city, a re-
port of which was published in our issue of
last Sunday, His Grace, the most Rev. Arch
bishop, gave the strongest evidence of his in.

BY DIR. L. REYNOLDS.

Welcome, priestpoet eff the South,
A million welcomes to the North,
Thine is the music brea thipg mouth,
The soul OF genius truth and worth.
Ihou contest, the messenger of peace,
Like Noah's olive -bearing dove,
To bid faternal anger cease,
And bind the North and South in love.
Welcome, thou honor to our lind,
The nurse of mighty minds Of yore,
Which owns that one of mind more grand
Her glorious soil neer bore before.
In lovingness thou art q child,
A sage in intellect and lore;
We love the friend, 80 kind and mild,
While the great poet we adore.
Strew chaplets round the patriots path,
To breathe their fragrance as he goes,
And let him see our rough land hath
The flowers Of soul amid its SHOWS
Oh! 20 shall Gull the flowers most rare
To decorate his sacred breast;
That he will think who placed them there-
VIII make the giveFs moro than blest.
Welcomed Thou comst to raise the shrine
By wars unsparing hand laid low;
To preach that man q almost divine
When soothing poverty and woe.
And we, to every word of thine
Will answer with our, gifts and tears;
TIL touched by sympathy divine,
Cur land one loving land appears.
May blessings wait upon thy road,
May angels guard thee day and night:
TIL on the altar of one God
The gifts of North and South unite
Until the South their children bring
The lovegifts of the North to show:
And say, while thankful tears shall sprins,
Tbcy fought us once, but love US now"
Think not you leave, as here you roam,
No gifts more dear than gold behind;
Oh NO, to our charmed land you come
Like the South's perfume bearing wind.
There lived men, slaves of vice and gain.
The Priest passed by them on his rood;
He spoke, and burst the spirits chain,
And raised repentant man to God.
OH many man, sims bondsman long,
Who would have lived 90 to his grave.
Has heard the sacred minstrel's song,
And bounded up, no moro q slavoi
In days to come, when he shall lie
Mid friends, upon his sick bed dying
He'll breathe prayer to Him on high
And bless tho honored name of Ryan.
COL poet, priest and patriot, 60!
Tell those who love thee of our love,
And band round oar Union throw,
That storm or earthquake cannot move.
Go, but OIL never once forget
Our friendship in thy summer cline, -.
For thou hast on our memory set
A mark that cannot fade with tt1ne

In the absence of our leading editor wo clip
the following handsome poetical tribute
which we have found in the columns of the
Oswego, N. Y, Herald. The sentiment is no
less kindly and generous to the South than
complimentary to Rev. Father Ryan. If q
Few more such missionaries of brotherly love
as he could be sent throughout the Northern
States, their influence would go long way to-
wards raising from our shoulders the oppres
siVe load of slavery with which the proscrip-

loaded the South:

JULIA WARD HOWE classifies women
in this style. &" Mems Women and Wo-
mems Wemen," and this is what she
said after she has them classified
Mems women were like the clouds of
our northern climate-th brighter they
we're the colder they became, and while
they glittered they chilled. Such wo-
men we're recognized As charming in
society and in the ball room formed the
center of many admirers. But they
lived alone for self, and the quality of
their minds grew daily more feminine.
They bartered their gifts for the gilt
tering jewels Of fame. But " women's
Tomen''-thess were of the psinstaking
and laborious kind. They were domes-
tic women {; they loved the sewing ma
chine; they could not ruffle their dress
without ruffling their tempers and
when they met one another they could
talk about their dresses. and tell how
beautifully the gray mingled with the
blue. They we're sometimes unchari-
table, and when they did not marry
they made useful old maids. But men
select wives from this class quite as
often a. from their more brilliant sis
ters.

A KANSAS CRY paper Of a recent
date, tells of late snow storm as fol-
lows: Jay COOKIES isothermal belt was
swept by terrible norther last week.
and two herders who arrived in Kansas
City on Saturday told fearful story of
suffering. A party of five, including
Prof. l.. F. Cooke, of Northampton,
R. l. a; Col Sam. James, of Los An
geles, and three herders, named Lloyd,
Grespy, and Sayers, left Platte Valley,
Nebraska. for Ellsworth, Kansas. with
one wagon, drawn by two mules, Lloyd
and Sayers mounted on Ponies. On
wednesday night of last week they en-
canped in ravine near Solomons river.
where the snow hurricane struck them.
They tried to reach timber, but the
trail was lost in the drifting ssow, and
they went into camp beneath a rocky
bluff. An attempt was made to kindle
fire with dry weeds and willows, but
the wind was too fierce, and the party
wrapped up IN their blankets, leaving
the mules and ponies to shift for them
selves. Toward uidnigh. the storm
increased, the wagon cover was blown
away and the men found themselves
freezing. They arose, propped up the
wagon bed a, shelter from the peltng
sleet, ard made frewood of the wheels.
They crouched around the fire, but it
was impossible to keep warm without
scorching the clothing from the body.
Breakfast was cooked with the wagon
bed. The food and whisky we're dis
tributed, and the party scattered in
search of the stock, agreeing to meet
on the south fork of the Solomon -Four
Of them reached camp in safety, but
Savers was not again seen alive. The
bones of man, picked clean, were
found scattered over the snow about
two miles south Of the Solomon.

THE following is the latest story out
on walking at night in sleep: About
two o'clock yesterday morning, say,
the Providence Journal of December
5th, as officer Augustus II. Taliman
was on his way home, after his seven
hours beat, be heard the cry "Policel"
"Murder ~ borne on the night air 10
womsn's voice. The officer followed
the sound as rapidly as he could, which
led him to the foot of Henderson street.
Stopping here he sull heard the cries
Of q woman in distress somewhere out
in the mud fats, but he could see no.
thing in the intense darkness. He
sounded his whistle az a signal for help
in case be should need it, hastily took
off his clothes, with the exception of
bis shirt and hat, rolled them in bun
die and laid them on shore, and rolling
his shirt up under his arms, he boldly
plunged into the mud and darkness.
Guided by the sounds only, which
we're growing fainter. and occasionally
shouting as an encouraf ement to who
ever might be there, the officer gallant
ly kept on his way, the mud growing
deeper and deeper, and stickisr and
s;ickisr, tIll be found himself 10 up to
bis waist, his progress at the same time
growing more difficult and dangerous,
at times causing him to fear his own
life was in danger. After wading long
distance he reached q woman's head
aud arms lying on the fats, her body
being entirely submerged in the mud.
He didn't stop TO ask questions then,
bat cheering her a. well a. be could,
he infused new life into her by his pres
ence, aud getting her out of the depths,

grew more shallow her courage grew
stronger aud their progress easier, and
in due course of time both arrived on
terra hrma.
He,e, other officers we're in waiting,
who took charge of her and carried her
to the Riehmond-street station, where
she was clean.ed, dried and warmed.
She gave her name aS Mary Quinn, said
she was stepping at the house Of Mi
chael Kelley, on Plane street, aud that
she went TO bed as usual Wednesday
night, and the next thing she was aware
of she was foundering in the mud, ana
oil her efforts to get out only served to
lead her in deeper. She had on moth

she must have got up in her sleep, put

PITHOLE PAST AND PRESENT. Pit

very different places. As an illustra-
ton of the present desdpess of things
there, we mention the fact that the "a
nous Danfourth House, which cos; $23,-
600, was sold few days ago for ten
dsllar uste, and the furniture, which
cost 81, 600, brought less than 800.
From = village of $4,000 inhabitants,
it has now uine families remaining TO
denote where Plthols formerly s;oed.
Once it had seventy hotels, but it has
zone now. Once it had daily news
paper, /. theater, extensive water works
and all the parsphernalia of city, but
now nothing remaineih. Even the Pit
hole and Oleopolis railroad runs but

change truly says that the once buIring,
wbirling, swarming hillside now pre-
fsn,s the gloom Of death, the silence OF

Horrible Outrage.

From the Atchison Champion, Dec. ILL
A most horrible outrage occurred
near Camp Supply, about sixty miles
rom Fort Dodge, one day last week,
hat for brutality and cruelty, has not
been equelled since the days of Craw-
ford and the early Indian troubles. The
perpetrators of the hendish act were
kIowas, who, for come time past, have
been causing considerable trouble in
aud around their reservation
From A. q. Hanback,, route agent on
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
road, We gathered the following psrt,c
ulars of the crime : 1t seems that
party of English tourists arrived at
amp Supply few days ago for the
purpose of engaging in buffalo hunt.
At amp Supply they purchased com
plete outfit necessary to carry on the
hunt for several days and hired a wagon
and team, with boy about seventeen
years old as q driver. After being out
several days their provisions gave out
aod they dispatched the boy back to
the town for another supply, expecting
he would easily make the trip in three
or four days at furthe,t, the distance
being about thirty miles. The allotted
time passed and dag longer, and the
hunters becoming uneasy at his extend
ed absence, started back for Camp Sup
ply. Here nothing had oe,n seen or
heard of him since the departure Of
the party. A party OF hunters and
scout, were Immediately organized aud
set out in search of him, taking the
trial toward the hunting grounds. The
second day out they suddenly came
upon the boy. He had been captured
by band OF KI0Nas, the wagon taken
apart and piled in a heap, the boy tied
to a stake, and probably burned alive.
He had also been scalped by the brutal
towards, and mis- charred remains left
on the ground with all the proof of how
the devilish act had been committed.
The horses, of course, were stolen.
The excitement in and around Fort
Dodge Is intense, and the old hunters
and trappers IN THAI vicinity say that il
the Government does not infict sum-
mary punishment upon the incsrnste
fends they will take the matter into
thsir own hands and commence . war
Of extorminstion.
Col. Bristol, in command at the fcrt,
says be has the Fifth Infactry and two
companies of cavalry in readiness, and
Is only awaiting orders from the War
Department. The Kiowss have only
about 1000 warriors on their re,erva-
ton.

THE Cuban and Vlrginius question
has, By late dispatches, assumed a new
phrase. Well informed people never
even suspected her Of being a lawful
American vessel. They we're wsll con-
viuced in their own minds that her
American character was only assumed
for protection in the event of just the
kind of difficulties which she re.ched.
President Grant thus far has acted
cautiously on the questisn, and evil
IDENTIFY does not intend that parcel of
outlaws shall plunge the country isto a
war. The latest turn in the case is that
the "right of the Virginius to carry the
American flag has been put in ques-
tiun." The President submitted the
question to the Attorney General, who,
after reviewing all the facts, and evi
denee bearing on the case, says:
"Assuming the question to be what
appears to conform to The interest of
the protocol at the time CT her capture
had 10 right as sgsInst the United
States to carry the American aag, | an
Of the opinion that she had no such
right because she had net been regis
tered according 70 law but aa also
Of t!. opinion hat she tUas as much er-
emp. from interference on TIE high seas
ty dr0tker pOuer, on that ground, a,
though she had been is1rfuliy registered.
SPAN has DO doubt a right TO cap
fure y vessel With an American register
and carrying the American flag, found
IL her own waters, assisting or endea-
vsring to assist, the InsurrectIon in
Cuba but she has no right to capture
such a vessel On the high seas upon sn
apprehension that, in violation Of neu-
traiity or the navigation laws of the
Uuited States she WAS on her way to
z.sis: the said rebellion.
"Sssin may defend Der territory and
people from the hostile attack of What
IL or appears to be an American vessel /;
but she has no jurisdiction whatever
over the question IS to whether such
vessel is on the high sess in violation of
any laws of the Uuited States.
"Spain cannot rigbtfully raise that
que,iion as TO the Virginius, bat the
United States may, and IS | under
stand the protocol they have agreed
TO do and be governed by that
agreement aud without admitting
that Spain would otherwise have any
interest in the question, decide that
the Fmsinius at the time Of her cap
ture Vas without right aud improperly
S.ssying tie American fag."

BosroN and Philadelphia held large
tea parties last week in commensora
tioa Of the resistance to the British
tea tax By throwing cargoes of it into
the sea at Boston one hundred years
ago. They we're also intended as a
movement in AID of the Centennial Ex-
hibition. There seems to be 4 cord OF
sympathy that unite, the two cities just
named on the tea question. 1t has been
transmitted from the days of the revo-
luton. Philadelphia wa. the first in
open town meetings to condemn the tax
on tea and other articles without repre-
seutssion, and the probability is that
had the tea ships happened INTO Phila
delphis instead of Boston, Philadelphia
would be entitled to the honor Of hsv-
ing thrown 1t into the sea.
