St. Patricks Day in jefferson CITY.

Father Abbott's lecture in ST. Stephens Hall
last Monday night, March 18th, was every
way worthy of its subject and singular
~ appropriate for the Toast of the glorions
saint whom every Irishman reveres. We be-
love there Is not another name on the Church's
calender which cvokes such worldwide en-
thusiasm as that of st. Patrick and whose
festivals gains new honors as the years 20 by
Coming as this anniversary does, at the very
season when nature herself puts OH tho gyecn.
the love for the old land, and for the old saint
seems to bloom anew in every Irish heart in
all tho vigor of youth and all the beauty of
spring. Just before the lecturer appeared
upon the stage, large and handsome picture
of Ireland's patron descended miraculousIy
from the clouds of tie scunic walls and took
its place in front of the admirng and wonder
ing on-lookers, who thought perhaps that
Saint Patrick himself would step ont from the
frame and stir their hearts with his oIden eIo-
4uence and holy power. But instead of this
expected prodigy, Father Abbott camo before
them in citizens dress, wearing o1 his breast
the green emblem of bis nationality, and on
his PIiestly face the kindly look and smile of
loving welcome. No wonder then that on
such q day, and in such q cause, the Irish went
forth to meet him and rounds of applause
greeted the peOple's darling, the SoeRartb
Aroon of their dear old Emerald Isle. His
subject, "the character of the Irish faithD was
delineated in winning colors and the truth of
its changing hues was ackno wledged by all
who heard him. Dwelling upon its three
characteristics, simplicity humility and ODE
dience, he showed that the Irish people walk
ed as it were in the very presence of God aud
associated Him with their every day life. |
They realized SO fully the definition of Faith
the substance of things to be believed" that
they clothed themselves in it, as in a garment, !
and were 1t always before the world. Their
daily Salutions: "God save all here" God |
bless you all "show how deeply impressed they |
are with the constant providence and care of |
God. Their mutual greetings, as laborer meets

LIE ROMANS AND THE ITAIIANs-WLatevcr
the Romans may be for moral courage, energy
OF sei-sacrhce' they are grand Mt an attitude
OF passive resistance. OF course there ara
plenty who favor the Italians and dislike the
fapaiini' But tho following facts show that
the immense majority of the people simpIv hat
the Italian usurpers. First, the Goyernmsnt
schoois number only 6OO0 pupils, whoreas the
ropes schools contain 5000 at the nreseut
moment; and yet the Government schoo1s
nave every sort of attraction that money cor

but as the Pope's degrees are not recounized
by the State, these young men are procIrdoJ
from almost every public career. Tho HOLY
Father, on hearing of this the other dav, said
that be had no objection to their taking the
state degrees in order to qualify for the pro-

Government that they bavo declined To avail

All along the route the procession was reviewed
Dy thousands of our citizens, who showed in
every manner possible their appreciation OF
the display. Especially was this enthusiasm
remarkable in the businesses portion of the
city, where thousands from the suburbs had
congreSated, the throngs being swelled by
tho merchants and clerks of tho various
stores, who threw business aside and lined the
sidewalks as soon as the music was heard in
tho distance. Upon reaching Canal street, at
about halfpast three o'clock, tho procession
was halted, the ranks opened, and the extreme
left marched through the line, the various
Associations dropping into their respective
places at the proper time, and thus passing in
review before the Marshal and his Aids, imme-
dlately after which it was dismissed.

WHY SOUTHERN PEOPLE ARE Poor
/ They grow raw materials which are sent
North and returned manufactured, selling
from ten to q hundred times above the
first cost. They plow with Northern plows,
hitched in Northern harness, cut wood
with Northern axes, work lumber with
Northern hammers, and paint houses with
Northern brushes dipped in Northern
paint. In short, they rock their children
iq Northern cradles, clothe them in North
eri,, cloth, and bury their dead in North
ern made cofiins, which are lowered into
their fsst resting place with Northern
made CON; The remedy proposed BY the
local jouAsl in which ws find the sub.
stance Of ,f;s, foregoing is 10 patronise
those who are manufacturing At home,
so they may accumulate capital and en-
large their business and encourage others.
The case is mentioned Of q merchant
having bo:sted Of buysqg certain goods
extremely cheap in New Xerk, but on OF.
amining the trade mark Of tAe maker ap-
peared, and he lived within smile Of the
store. Nothing is more commoA than for
Northern merchants to bring cottHq yarn
from Northern cities, which was made at
the South. This, by the way oannoe.be
helped, for the same thing is 70 be said of
the North, since goods made in New Eng
land factories are sold to agents In New
York, some Of which come back among
general stocks. Points of djstribution
are indispensable. But there is no doubt
that it is the duty Of the people Of the
South to protect themselves BY consum-
ing 20 much as is possible Of their own
productions and thereby increase the de-
mands for farm produce, and variety Of
fruits and vegetables, while s'npleyment
will be offered for many yoang people now
