The GRAVE OF ST. PATRICK.-A cor
respondent writing in the English
newspaper, Land and Water, furnishes
the following in regard to the grave of
st. Patrick, in Ireland, which will i'm
press Irishmen all over the world with
a feeling of surprise and regret The
grave is in the yard of the Cathedral of
Downpatrick, county Down. The VIII
ter above referred to says:
ut lies in the highest and most cen
trail position in the otherwise decently
kept churchyard, and is the one spot Of
earth in the whole place that appears
given up to complete neglect and desc
Grafton. Around are graves and grave
stones, ancient and modern, all well
ordered and neatly kept, some showing
the recent touch of hands directed by
loving care, while the one which stran-
GERS would have expected to find most
honored and reyered is the only dishon-
ored grave among them all. The I'M
sigbtlylooking hole, unmarked by cross
or slab, now half filled with loose rubble
of broken bricks, stones, and earth, is
disgrace to the people of Down, who,
be they Protestant or Catholics, in that
they claim to be Christians, have an
equal right to honor the resting place
of this faithful, fearless preacher of
Christianity, who was the first to bring
the gospel of truth into Ireland, the
first to introduce the dawn OF civilization
among her then wholly barbarous
princes and people, and whose feet first
touched the Irish soil upon the shores
of the county Down. | shall feel proud
indeed if these observations will lead
any one belonging to the nei ghborhood
or the county to take some interest in
this matter.

SUDDEN DEATH IN THE PULPIT...Wash-
ington, d. c., Nov. S-Rev. NJ. E.
Hysore, pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal Mission Chapel, on Twelfth street,
navy yard, fell dead while in the pulpit
about noon today. He had got about
half through with his discourse, when
he suddenly stopped and fell. Many of

suit of an accident. Examination
showed that lie died from an attack OF
apoplexy.
The above reverend gentleman who
died with his armor on, was formerly Of
the Nj. p. Church, and married Miss
Krepps. of Harpcrs Ferry, TO which
place his remains, vaulted at the Con
gressional Cemetery at Washington,
will he taken. 1t is said that when he
entered the pulpit on Sunday last be
announced to ,he congregation that he
was suffering from inflammation of the
throat, and that his discourse would be
short in consequence Of it. lie then
proceeded with his sermon: "Word OF
Life" When about half through he
stopped suddenly and remarked that he
felt very sick, and placing his hand to
his forehead, as if in pain, exclaimed:
Jesus, save me; save me now,' and,
staggering back against the sofa, fell
in a halt reclining position.

BISHOP JOHNS IN New YoRK.-Bish

BISHOP JOHNS IN New YoRK-Bish-
OPP Johns preached to large audience
at the Protestant Episcopal Church of
the Holy Trinity, on Forty second
street, last Sunday morning, upon hold
ing fast the profession of faith. He
illustrated his subject at first in the his
torical way by showing the steps through
which the first Christians vert in pro-
Tossing their faith and maintained that
the same methods of faith-baptism,
confirmation and communion-were to
be taken now. lie then dwelt upon
the nature of faith and its ground in the
free grace OF God through Christ cruel
fed, and not in the personal perfection
of the believer. He closed his sermon
by urging his hearers to take positive
stand in the evangelical faith, and to
hold fast to it to TIE end. The Bishop,
although in his seventy ninth year, and
not in vigorous health, preached with
earnestness, wholly without notes, and
held the respectful attention of his audi
ence. He was consecrated at Richmond
October Is, 1912, thirty-two years ago,
and he is fifth in order of seniority in
the House Of Bishops, having only Bish-
ops Smith, McCoskry, Nottingham,
and Lee ir advance of him. He speaks,
in conversation, cheerfully Of the pros
poets of his State in every respect. lie
thinks that business is rapidly recover
ing from the disasters of the war, and
that the vast mineral and agricultural
resources Of Virginia are TO give her
great prosperity in the future. He is
cheered by the proceedings of the Gen
eral Convention, and says that all fears
of discord are set at restby the decided
action of the delegates upon the most
important subjects. His diocese is in,
teresting as being the primitive seat of
the American Protestant Episcopal
Church, and its strong Protestant spirit
is readily explained, from its dating
from a time $500 before the High
Church reaction had shown itself in
England under Archbishop Laud The
first church built by English Episco-
palians in America was at jamestown,
and there is portion Of its tower still
to be seen-the ancient landmark of the
place where the first colonial assembly
ever convened in America met June 20,

SEVERE BATTLE WITH CHEYENNE IN
p1ANs-REscUE OF CArTIyE CHILDREN.
A dispatch to the New York Herald
from McClellan's Creek, Texas, Nov.
9, saws:
To-day, (Monday,) near this spot,
Lieutenant Frank Is. Baldwin, of the
Fifth United States infantry, chief OF
scouts, commanding detachment, com
posed of Lieut.. S. Overtons company
ID. of the Sixth cavalry, and Lieut.. H..
X. Bailey's company ID. Of the Fifth
infantry, while on scout had brill
liant engagement with about two hun
dred of the Cheyenne Indians, who
were before handsomely whipped by
Can't. III. Farnsworth, OF the SIKH
United States cavalry, on tho 6th inst
From half past eight a. NJ. to half past
one p. NJ, ninety eight men and how
itzer fought stubbornly and bravely
against more than two hundred Indians
After charging their abandoned camps,
under a calling fire, he captured Their
whole outfit, driving the Indians eight
miles from the last position OF those
successfully taken by them. On the
hilltops, hard and well won prizes, left
as trophies of victory, were recovered
bv Lieut.. Baldwin, commanding, IN the
persons of two little starved white cap
tives, young girls, aged five and seven
wears, named Germon, whose father,
mother, eldest sister and brother were
recently mastered in Kansas while
going TO Colorado as settlers. Two
remaining sisters, aged thirteen and
fifteen years, are yet held by the In
dams, doomed to worse than death.
Two desperate charges were made
by the Indians to regain them. They
were bitterly repulsed and handsomely
charged by Lieut.. Overtons company.
The federal troops got close enough to
use pistols advantageously. The forces
were SO used up after this that the men
had to fight afoot, About eighty or
one hundred trophies were captured
and much property destroyed. The
camp numbered from four to five hum
dred. counting women and children:
The pursuit lasted for twenty miles, and
was not abandoned until 4 P. NJ, when
# became useless and impossible for 1t
~ he continued longer, The horses
were worn out having had no forage
for four days, and having marched two
hundred and thirty miles since October
%, and FIVE hundred with the present
No losses were sustained by our side.
Four Indians are known to have been
killed. How many more is not ascer-
tanned, but at least twenty must nave
been slain. The bloody state OF the
field attests that the Indians dragged
off rapidly number of their wounded
comrades.

A You've TRAvELER.-A grandson,
aged IL years, OF Commodore Boarman,
who was brought here over year ago
from his home in Missouri, left the
Commodore house short time since,
as the family supposed, for walk up
street, but not returning at night con-
siderable alarm was felt in regard to
him, and inquiry and search was made
in every direction without eliciting any
clue to his whereabouts. Last week a
letter was received from his former
home in Missouri, stating that he had
arrived there. He made the trip, near
eleven hundred miles, without money,
and having scarcely knowledge of the
route he had to travel. This is certain
" wonderful feat for a boy of his age.

BE- SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION OF WEST
VIRGNrA.-A correspondent from Mar
tinsburg, to the Wheeling Register,
under date of Nov. IA, says:-As you
no doubt feel an interest in whatever
may tend to develop, and bring into
public notice the resources of this State,
it may be gratifying to you to learn
that Mr.. Faulkner, the Representative
elect from the Second Congressional
District, is engaged in organizing an
expedition for the scientific eXplora-
ton of West Virginia. The purpose OF
this expedition is to visit every proml-
nent section of the State, to ascertain,
as far as practicable, its mineral depos-
its. and the means for their transporta-
ton to market; to make recognizances
as to several projected railroads; to
view its natural scenery, and places of
historical interest; to estimate its ad-
yantages of timber; and also the apti-
tude Of its lands for pasturage aud til
lage, and as sites for manufacturing in-
dustry; and to embrace in volume,
from the result of these inquiries such
view of the advantages and resources
of West Virginia as may lead to more
rapid immigration into, and settlement
Of the State. 1t is expected that the ex-
petition will leave this place about the
Goth of May next, and be engaged
about five months in its contemplated
examination. 1t is proposed to engage
the services of competent engineers,
mineralogists, biologists, a topograph-
er, photographer sc, &c. 1t is under
stood that several gentlemen, distin-
guished for their scientific and literary
requirements, have already volunteered
their services for the expedition, and
Mr.. Faulkner expresses confident be
lief that the expedition will be success
fully organized according TO his e1pec-
| tations.

A WOMAN WITHOUT BoNEs.-The
social developments across the water
show lamentable state of affairs due
apparently to no other cause than
deficiency Of backbone in one or two
individuals.
When the disastrous consequences
proceed from the weakening OF part
only of the human framework, we SIN
cerely trust that there may be no spread
ing of the disease developed across the
ocean in the person of an Irish woman,
who lived TO see her entire skeleton
waste away until it was but fourth
part as heavy as new born babe.
The case occurred in Dublin, and
may truly be called extraordinary. The
victim, forty five years old, was pa
tent in an insane asylum. For five
wears she was confined to her bed, COM
planning of no pain, but gradually be
coming weaker, while dwindling in
statue until she lost half her height.
AS the disease progressed, her limbs
were coiled up in every possible shape,
the bones becoming extremely light,
soft, fragile, and atrophied in every
respect At death, all that was left of
her skeleton, including the skull,
weighed two pounds and half. The
number of fractures was prodlglous.
The ribs were in hundred fragments.
The head of the humcrus was bent; the
fibuln were curved; the thigh bones
and pelyis were huddled together; the
bones of the vertebre were Trimmed and
worn away across the front OF their
bodies; the lower jaw was atrophied
aud broken into three pieces; the base
of the skull was cribiform all through.
Had she lived a little longer, it was
thought that not vestige of bone
would have been left in her body.
What allied her no one could tell, the
disease being almost unheard of aud
difficult TO diagnose, treat, or even
name. Professor r. w. Smith, OF
Dublin University, who brought the
case before the Pathological Faculty,
looked upon the condition of the bones
not as disease but as manifestation
of diseased condition rs yet unknown,
possibly related to ricketts,.
