Who was st. Patrick ?

Who WAS the real Patrick He
was very devoted and greatly USE
full missionary, who labored in Ire-
land with earnest apostolic zeal and
eminent success, who left behind
him certain writings, for example,
"The Confession of Patrick" and
"the Letter to Coroticus," which
throw clear light on his faith and
Christian character, and show him
to have been what we should call q
faithful Protestant, not to say Pres
byterian minister and missionary OF
the cross. He was born about the
year A. d. 1877, not far from Alcluyd
on the river Clyde; the word CAL

fort on its top, and to town or set
Element at its foot 1t seems to have
been a stronghold of the Romans,
who built one of their walls from AL
cluyd across the country to the
Firth of the Forth. And when, at q
later day, the Romanized Britons
united with the tribes of Southern
Scotland and formed the Cumbrian
league, or Kingdom of Strathclyde,
their capital was Alcluyd, which
they named Dumbriton, "Hill of the
Britons," whence the modern Dunn
barton. And four miles from this
towards GLASGOW, on the line of the
old Roman wall, is in the modern
town of Fitzpatrick, which claims to
be the birth place of Saint Patrick.
His father, as he himself tells us, was
Calpurnius, deacon and his grand
father, Portlus, a presbytes, an of

Whence, came their religion and
how long had it prevailed in Scot

armies, but if so they would have
had but little influence, for the ma.

oysters.

A writer in the american artisan
communicates something new about
oysters. He says: Most people
know that dozen or two raw oys-
tiers, more or less, very seldom will
produce feeling of safety or OPP
preston at the stomach. There is O
special reason for this, not known
commonly to the public, nor indeed
to physicians. 1t is that raw almost
alive oysters, contain their own
gastric juice, ready, in fact to digest
themselves. Recently, l have been
trying experiments on the artificial
digestion of food, and, among other
matters, my attention was directed
to oysters. They were disposed OF
with singular rapidity, and, carry
ing investigation still further, | have
been able, by actual experiment, to
demonstrate that oysters direct d.
rect from the shell, when submitted
to conditions analogous to that in
which they would be placed in the
human stomach, and without any
addition, are positively able to .di-
gest great portion of their own
mass. While being cooked, however,
their gastio juice is destroyed by
the temperature, and they are then
only like any other light food, but if
boiled long, their albumen becomes
hard and dense, and less easy of d.
gestion. People with weak stom-
achs may hence take comfort in the
reflection that there is one article of
diet which they may usually indulge
in without fear of after trouble, name.

sembled and he stated the facts in
the case, saying he had known her
for several years; known her to be
industrious and of good character,
and then he opened the sale. Bid

great good humor. In the crowd
was an old bachelor named Peter ID.

widow was "knocked down" Joslin
handed her the money, agreed to
the proviso, and then treated the
whole crowd, none of whom had
thought that marriage would ever
take place. One did, however, take
place yesterday morning, after the
terms of the proviso had been carri-
ed out. And while it is quite certain
that Joslin has found a good help

that he is sober, steady, goodtemper

A HERDS OBSEQUIEs.

Boston, October 3.-The funeral SER
vices over the remains of Rear-Admiral
John A. Winslow took place in the st.
James Episcopal Church, Boston High
lands, at noon. A large number of
friends and associates of the deceased
Admiral paid the last sad tribute Of re-
spect and friendship to his memory.
Military honors were rendered by the
Commandment of the station at this port,
but were declined by the family.
The ceremonies We're conducted by
the Rev. Mr.. Converse, and consisted of
the reading of the solemn burial service
of the Episcopal church, varied by the
singing of the chant, "Lord let me
know mine end and the number of my
days." and the hymn "Nearer my God
to thee.
The remains, clothed in full uniform,
were enclosed ina casket embossed in
silver and draped with the American
colors. Upon the lid rested the sword
and cap of the deceased officer, while
the standards and other portions of the
casket were adorned with flowers.
Flags at the United States navy yard
at Charlestown, at the old city hall, and
on many public and private buildings
in Boston were hung at half mast At
the close of the ceremonies in the church
the remains were borne to Forest hill,
whittier they were accompanied by n
long line of carriages. The usual cere-
monies took place at the grave.

FOR PRESIDENT In 1876,
GENERAL ULYSSES S. GRANT,
Of the United States.
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE QUESTION.


To stranger who is unacquainted
with the cause of the present state OF
financial affairs, he would suppose from
st .eet conversation, that the administra-
ton is to blame, more particularly so,
because it has not emptied its treasury
to meet the demands of few hundred
wild spectators in fancy stocks.
n othing could have been more ruin.
Gus to the administration than to have
pursued such policy, and the nation at
large owes debt of gratitude to the
President for the manner in which he
expressed himself to the grand COM
mittee, which met several days since in
New York city to hold private talk.
In language that could not be misun-
derstood, the administration could not
become mixed up with the class of men
whose sole aim appeared to be to break
up trade and obtain money at the sacri-
flee of all principal and of right.
To-day, we begin to feel the beneficial
effects of the Presidents advice, which
every fair minded business man must
admit. Confidence is gradually feeling
its way in business circles, and we pre-
dict inside of thirty days that trade in
every department will be more brisk,
and money will find its proper channel.
The crops all over the country, are
larger this year, than ever known be-
fore. At the south there are four mil
lion bales of cotton awaiting shipment.
In the west the great graneries are over
flowing with wheat, corn, rye and other
produce, which must Immediately find
a market, and can only be brought about
by the banks coming to the assistance
of their depositors.
There is just as much money in the
country to-day, as there was one year
ago, and business men who have had on
deposit thousands of dollars in the city
banks upon which the officers have re-
allied handsome sums, should not be
obliged to go begging from street to
street at this particular time, paying two
and half to three per cent. for curren-
cy. In justice to the depositors, this is
not right, and the sooner the banks
meet this question, the better it will be
for them as a body, as well as the coun'
try at large.
The administration is fully aware Of
this fact, and hence it very wisely Jun
der the guidance of the chief magis
trate) took the stand it did, and which
all fair minded people endorse. Nov
gentlemen, The MONITOR suggests tina
you pay out the currency at once, ant
bring the produce Of the past year to
market. Beneficial results will assured
ly follow from such step, while the
contrary way causes different state o
affairs.

At meeting of the Newark Common
council last night, the finance commit
tee reported that they had discovered
additional frauds in the office of the re-
ceiver of taxes. In one instance Mr..
John A. Broadwell, the former receiver,
who was suspended from Office at the
last monthly meeting of the common
council, deficiency of four thousand
two hundred dollars having been dis
covered in his accounts, had taken the
book kept by clerk who had fallen i'll,
and falsified the footing to the amount
of seven hundred and twenty dollars.
In another instance he had entered
eighteen dollars tax on one thousand
dollars worth of property when the
amount received was one hundred and
eighty dollars on ten thousand dollars,
thus enabling him to pocket the differ
ence, one hundred and sixty-two dollars.
Twenty-four other discrepancies, the
largest of which was ninety -four dollars,
and the smallest three dollars, were dis
covered, but the committee thought the
most of them could be explained. A
statement of the city's debt was made
by the comptroller, showing that there
have been issued $5,03S, 204 in city
bonds, of which the legislature had can
celled twenty thousand dollars, and
there is in the sinking fund in bonds
and cash 1886, 1921. Further develop
ments of frauds are expected.
