THAT EXTRAORDINARY DEATH AT ABBEY
FEALE, misunderstanding to the extraordi-
nary death of a Miss Murphy, near Abbey feale,
Ireland, the circumstances of which we pub
lished in the STAR Of the 18th inst, the Galway
J-iadicator has this to say
Paragraphs have appeared within the past
few days in several newspapers relating to
very startling occurrence in the neighborhood
of Abbey feale. Two young girls, sisters, were
described as having gone to Holy Communion
on Sunday morning, and having, later in the
day, stroled along by the river side. Whilst
thus engaged, one stated that they saw four
men aPproaehing them bearing a coffin Oh. on
girls feet saying, You must come with u.s.
The younger girl screamed, oh, spare me,
am unprepared,' and fell on the grass, and her
sister, believing there was something super,
natural in the appearan ce of the men, screamed
and ran away. When she returned with
friends, they found the Young girl rigid in
death. Such is the tale. The deceased was
subject to epileptic attacks, and if any such
occurrence as that stated took place, q grim
joke was perhaps played off, that excited a ia
tai paroxysm. During last autumn an old
man, q caretaker was nearly frightened to
death in suburb of this city, in sorne such
| manner as that which occurred by the banks
| of the Fea!e. He was in charge of ftuit
garden, when he saw four figures moving to-
| wards him dressed in white, having a coffin on
their shoulders. Almost frightened out of his
| life, he off. 1t subsel uently TRANSFERRED
that the four bearers were young men who
were attending a neighhuring wake and tho
took the coffin from clubhouse, where it
was deposited to receive the body. Putting
| on white shirts and with coveted beads, they
steadily advanced, and, wheu-the watCbmdu
| fled they carried out their design they half
| filled the coffin with apples, aud bore it back
| to the wake honse, where they distributed the
| fruit, and in this heartless way supplied re-
| freshment without limiting at the manner in
which the apples were haai, or the receptacle
| in which they were conveyed.

LETTER FROM ATLANTA, GA.

To the Editor of the Morning Starr
This is one of the most prosperous citiesi
the South and think may safely say in the
Union. Every department of business shows
signs of great activity as compared with the
languishing aspect of affairs elsewhere, and
every one seems to be contented. The growth
of Atlanta since the war has been truly Won
derful, as well in population in the number,
size and msgnificence of its buildings.
You will be surprised to learn that we have
the finest church editice in the city, though our
coreligionists only number about 1900 1t is
named in honor of the immaculate Conception,
and has been used for about year, though
not yet quite completed. So far it has cost
$4,000, about $4,000 of which are yet due.
The sum required for its completion is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000. This is
small sum considering the zeal OF the clergy
and people, who at the recent fair Melted $4,000.
But much better evidence of their spirit
and zeal are they giving in their present course
on the school question. Recently they petit
toned the School Commissioners for separate
schools, but their prayer refused. This
was the second refusal they met with. They
have now resolved to rent and furnish school
houses, provide books and select competent
teachers and then again to demand that these
be paid, out ofthe school-fund, salaries at least
equal to those paid to teachers of the third
grade in the public schools. This fight they
intend to keep up till they have succeeded,
and, judging from their determin nation and
perseverance, and taking into account the in
nate sense of justice which characterizes the
Georgians, l have not the least doubt of their
| success at no distant day.
Among other evidences of the prosperity OF
the city, I may note the establishment of
new daily paper, called the N~rs, edited by
Mr. A. St. Clair Abrams, and the Issuance of
bonds to raise money for the proposed water
works. which 20 be of great capacity. The
city has also undertaken the Improvement of
the Fair Grounds for the next State Fair,
which will open in October, and which
promises to be the most successful ever held.

In consequence of the words lately spoken
by the Holy Father to Father Chevalier, in
which he said that if it was the wish of the
Catholic world he would dedicate the whole
Church to the Sacred Heart, the members of
the Confraternity Of the Most Sacred Heart of
Jesus are getting up petition to be presented
to the Pope, and it is expected that it will
soon be covered with millions Of signatures.

How doth Death Speak Of or Beloved 2

How doth death speak of our beloved,
When it hath laid them low
When it hath set its halloNine touch
On specclless lip and brewi
1t clothes their every gift. ard grace.
With radianre from the holi.st place;
With light as from an angels face.
Recalling with resistless ioree.
And tracing to their hidden source.
Deeds scarcely noticed In their course.
Opening our weeping eyes. 10 trace
Simple. unnoted kindnesses.
Forgotten notes Of tenderness.
Which evcrmore to us must lie
Sacred as hymns in infancy.
Learned listening ut a:mother's knee.
How doth Death speak Of our 1sssscs av
When II has laid them low;
When 1t has set It's hallowing touch
On speechlcss lip and brow2
1t sweeps their faults with heavy hand,
As SWttIS lIS Stt ilc tidUlpitN SuIts
Till scarce the taintest print Is scanned.
1t shows how many vexing deed,
Was but generous natures weed.
Or some choice virtue run te seed.
How that small frettlng frelfulness,
Was but loves over .anXiousness.
Which had not been, had love been less.
This falling. at which we repined.
But the dim shade Of day declined,
Which should have made US doubly kind
Thus doth Death speak Of our beloved,
When it hath laid them low;
Then let Love an.edate the work of Death,
And do this now.

E9 The Arkansas Constitutional Con-

fusing TO adopt an article repudialing the
fraudulent bonds which have been issued

vded, however, tor honest elections,

der carpet oag rule. On the 18th of DC.
tober the people will vote on the ratitlca

appointed bis enemies BY refusing 70 ee.
cept the nomination OF the Conservative
party for Governor under the new Con-
stitution, although ii was rendered to
him by The nominating Convention held
in Little Rock, unanimously, AND there
is no question that he could be elected
by an enormous majority. He thought,
however. that ii would be better for tho
interests OF the State that there should be
q cla ,ge In the Office; aud, fading that
he could not be prevailed upon to accept
the honor, the Convention nominated
the Hon a. II Garland in his stead
GOV. Baxter has therefore twice shown
his dsnterested patriotism; first, in adj
vocaling the aGop,ion of new Ccrs.itu-
iion which would throw h IN out Of Office
in the middle OF his tcrin--he was elected
for four years--and second, in declining
u denomination when he was sure OF an
election, because he thought another
IMAM could be more useful TO the people.
In the mean time Clayton and the infa-
nous gang Of thieves and ballot.hox
suffers who support him propose to dis
regard the new Constitution and hold an
election OF their own in November for
such officers as would then be elected
