Cdptain Fry's Last Letter 70 HIS
wife.

From the New Orleans Times Dec. ii
On BOARD SPANISH MAN.oF>WAR(
Nov. 6, 1875
DEAR, DEAR DITA-When left you
| had no idea that We should never meet
again in this world, but it seems strange
to me that | should tonight, and on An
MES birthday moonlight night in D most
beautiful bay in Cuba, to take my last
leave Of yot, tiy own dear sweet wife, and
with the thought of your bitter anguish
my only regret at leaving.
/ have been tried to-day, aud the Pres
ident of tho Court>martial asked tina fa>
vor of embracing me ut parting, and clasps
ed me 10 his heart. l have shaken hands
with each Of My Judges and the Secre.
tary of the Court and interpreter have
promised me as a special favor to attend
tny sxsSution; which will, l am told; be
in a very few hours after my sentence is
pronounced. l am told my death will DO
paipless; in short, | have had a very
cheerfully, and pleasant chat about my
funeral, to which | shall 60 in a few
hours from now. How coon l can not yet
say. 1t is curious to see how I make
friends. Poor Benbetta pronounced me
. gentlemen, and he was the brightest and
bravest creature | ever saw.
The priest WHO gave me Communion on
board this morning put o double scapular
about my neck, and a medal which he in>
tends to wear himself. A young Spanish
officer brought nj a bright new silk badge
with the Blessed Virgin stamped upon
it to wear to my execution for him, and
a handsome cross in some fair lady's han
diwork. These are to be KEPT as relics
of me. He embraced me afetti6Idtely
in my room with tears in his eyes.
Dear swebtbearti you will be able to
bear it it for my sake; for l will be with
you if God permits it. Although l
know my hours are short and and few, l
am not sad. l feel | shall always be
with you right soon, dear Dita, and you
will not be afraid of me.
Pray for tie; and will pray with you.
n y There is to be q fearful sacrifice of
Of life from the Virgiuus, and, as l think,
a needless one, as the poor people are un-
Conscious of crimei and even of their fate
up to now l hope God will forgive if l
am to blame for it.
If you write to President Grant, lie
will probably ord n my pay duo when |
resigned paid to you after my death t.
y People will be kinder to you now,
dear Dita, at least I bcpe 50. Do not
dread death when it comes to you it will
be as Gods angel Of restr. Rmember
this. Il Il u
I hope NY children will forget taeir
fathers harshness and remember his love
and anxiety for them. May the7 practice
regularly thcil religion, land pray for
him Away.
Tell--that the last act IF life will be
a public profession of my faith and hope
in Him oil whom we need not be ashamed,
and it is not honest to withhold that pub.
lie acknowledgement from any false mod.
esty or timidity. May God bless and
save us all.
Sweet, dear, dear Dita, we will SOON
meet again. Till then, adieu, for the last
time. You devoted husband.

Deputy Marshal Cooper at Work,

Deputy Marshal Sylvester Cooper
made a raid into Campbell last week, and
the following result of the expedition is
narrated by the Knoruiilc Chronicle
James s. Brown lived about ten miles
from Jacksboro', in Compbell county
He was brought under charge Of dealing
pretty extensively in the ''queer," he
having been seen with quite a roll of the
stuf. He is charged with having passed
some Of the money on Mr.. J. G. HollingS-
worth, O. Jacksboro'. and other parties.
Messrs. Cooke & Henderson, counsel
for Mr.. Brown, waived o preliminary ex>
animation, and he was bound over in the
sum of 81, 900.
Mrs. Betty Gray, also a resident of
Campbell county, was arrested and
brought to the city yesterday b. Deputy
Marshal Cooper, an indictment having
been found BY the grand jury, at its slast
session, charging her with selling illicit
whisky. She came from a good family
and is the widow Of an ex- Federal soldier,
JAMES Gray who died after the war in
one of tho Northern States, where they
had resided for a short time after the
close Of tho war. After the death of her
husband, she returned to her old home
in Campbell county, and, it is said, forms
ed an intimate acquaintance with a mar
ried man, for whom she sold the whisky,
he being an illicit distiller. An indict,
ment was found against both, but up to
the present time the Deputy Marshal has
been unable to get hold Of the man. She
is a 6ne,looking woman and, from her
appearance, would not be adjudged guilty
Of violating law in any form.

A Colorado paper, Of recent date,
relates the following story: A gentle,
man was walking down Virginia Canon
Che other DAY! There was no perceptible
breeze at The time. Suddenly he was
surprised by a roaring noise behind him
- noise like hat of an express train
when crossing a bridge or passing a rocky
wall. Stopping a moment to listen, the
whiriwind, apparently not more than a
yard in diameter, and travelling no faster
than a spirited walk, picked him up, as
it were, and waltzed off down the road
with him. Its vertical force was sufficient
to invert the tails Of his coat above his
head. Notwithstanding the pockets we're
loaded with specimens of silver ore, and
at the same time he was carried along for
a hundred feet or more like a feather,
with both feet occasionally off the ground,
while under him was a noise like that Of
an empty car bouncing over a stony
street.

Catholics and the Pursuit of knowledge

In an address made before the Navic1
| Union on " Self Education " occur the fol
lowing passages:
The exaggerated Importance which this
age has attributed to mere intellectual
cultivation, has, amongst other results,
produced what may be called over educa-
tion-an excessive activity of brain, which
threatens to enfeeble tho physical health
of modern peoples by abnormally develop
| ing the nervous system.
l have referred to these dangers, not
for the purpose of insisting on them, but
rather that l might have an opportunity
| to say that they are not to be greatly
dreaded by US. The Church gives us
fixed principles of faith, certain rules of
conduct, which will prevent the love of
| literature from taking from US that deep
and practical seriousness of mind which
| is inseparable from the true Christian
character, whilst she guides us with an eye
that sees the light of heaven through the
dark mazes of philosophy, and the fear of
over education should certainly not trouble
US.
The educated Catholics of this country
| seem to be fast sinking to low level of
mcdiocrity, above which no man has the
| power or the courage to raise his head.
Where are the men, lay or clerical, who
give promise of becoming worthy to be the
successors of kenrick, of England, of
Hughes, or of Brownsonf
Aud yet never was there an age or
country in WHICH men of might, able to
do battle for the truth, were more needed
If we sink out of the intellectual life of the
American people we shall be passed by
and forgotten.
Permit me then, young gentlemen, before
concluding this hastily written address. to
cXhort you 10 be ambitious, not of succe SIS,
but of excellence, which is its own reward
lie who Is worthy to succeed can despise
success. After the noble resolve to Le true
