QUITE an interesting controversy has
been kept up for some days past, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch Of the 18th inst, as TO
whether tie first shot WAS fired. or the
first blood vas shed, a. Lexington or Con
cord. one hundred years ago to day. Mr.
Charles Hudson, the author oe a history of
the locality. has written n letter on the
subject, IN which he states that the fight
at Concord took place at the old North
Bridge at half past nine o'clock on the
morning of the 19lh Of April, I715, and
that at Lexington, so called, at two o
clock in the afternoon. after the British
had been driven out of the former town,
and when Percy's reinfprcements arrived
from Boston. The Lexington fight was,
therefore only "a continuation of the Con
cord fight but assumed larger military
propoytions by increased strength on both
sides. and the presence of two pieces of
artillery with Percy's troops" George w.
Curtis. although agreeing with Mr.. Hudson
as TO The main facts in the case, differs
somewhat with him as to details He
saws that after the sixty or seventy militia,
men who formed on the green at LeXing
ton had been fired on by the British troops,
the former were ordered to retire, land as
they did SO returned the British fire.
The consequence OF this is that the people
of the two places will hold rival celebra>
tions toSday, but as both are entitled to the
honor of almost simultaneously opening
fire on the British forces. it is to be hoped
that the rivalry between them will not be
as bloody as that which took place between
the militiamen and Pitcairn's forces. In
the meantime, in order that they may be
fully satisfied in regard to the matter, we
would advise our readers to consult their
histories.

The Springfield Qll.) Register says
that about a week ago n family was eject
ed from house on Eighth street for non
payment of rent. They refused to leave
the premises, and at once set up their es-
tab.ishment in the yard, between the house
from which they had been elected and
another one, distant perhaps eight or ten
feet. Three days ago they were driven
from the yard. ana since that time they
have remained encamped on the sidewalk
in front of the house, where they cook, eat
and sleep, and while the hours away with
as much unconcern as if comfortably domi-
ciled beneath roof

y GOOD WORD FOR THE MISERS.-The
POttsyilIc .>taHGGr,< says in defending the
miners as a class from the unjust inculpa-
tiUns of the EiHsrs' ,yUuraGL '.tlat there
may be a few among them who are disposed
to be lawleSs and turbulent. and a similar
number would be found in any class silni-
laTly situated, but class they are peace
able. industrious and coutcnted. We viii
take Pottsyllle, or any other place of simI-
lar size in the coal regions, aud we will
challenge contradiction 20 the assertion that
the turbulent element Is posed as large
ly OF American born citizens as OF foreign
cTs. l. must be borne II mind that the
foreigners are not responsible fOI all the
disorder in the coal regions. Out of 3l3
PERSONS committed TO prison in this county
during the past year, IL were born in
Ireland, 50 III Germany. Il in Wales, p in
England, 113 III SclIuyllliil county. And
then VIC must not forget that this locality,
by its apparent immunity from detection
for crime, draws together the very worst
clements Of our native population from
neighburing counties who fill a prominent
part Of our criminal calender. So far as
these ignorant foreigners have been gull
" Of outraGes, we shall make no effort to
extenuate their crimes but as class we
desire to do them simple Justice. Il is
fact which cannot be too loudly ieTaIded in
their praise, that, although a few outrages
have been perpetrated by individuals. vet.

THE CHCEcu AND TIE DRAA,A.-Iov
Father Young, of New York, used the f,l-
loving language j. the course Of an address
at the funeral Of Dan Bryant:
The Catholic Church does not find in the
dramatic profession aupLt to condemn. It
i an honorable profession. The actor the
lawyer, the merchant, the banker. bave all
their duties 20 perform, always subservieut
10 the claims Of religion. ''First strive To
save your soul, and then become a GOOD
actor, larycr or whatever you wish" The
drama. properly considered, is full of good
lossons. the ultimate triumph of virtue un-
der all circumstance and the defeat of bv
pocTisy and vice. Were the stage as fond
Of the Church az the Church is Of the STAGE
all would be we'll. Were the drama as re -
spectful 70 the priesthood as the priesthood
Is to 1t there would not be word against
1t. The drama l.ss ..aj treated tic Church
as well As tie Church has treated it. 1t is
wrong TO place priest upon the stare in n
false light. The dramatic element per
vades everything. Life is drama. and
death is the most moving OF all dramas IN
the world. The great sacrifice Of the Mass.
which has been offered up for the repose of
tie soul of our deceased friend. is play.
and the most successful play that has ever
been produced. 1t has enjoyed a run Of
nineteen centuries, commencing with the
divine tragedy on Calvary, and will last
until the end Of time. 1t is the great play
of Christ's passion, the constant repetition
of the tragedy which resulted in the re.
demption of the world The Catholic
Church always shelters her children, and
her arms are stretched forth for them. No
matter what dIstracting profession man
may be engaged in, this loving mother win
ever be his guardian, and at the moment
OF death she is beside him.

A new danger threatens the Republi-

third term has discovered that ''the CEN
sus shows that Irish parents produce three
voters to one turned out by American born
parents" Also that Irisbmen naturally
belong to the Democratic party. Putting
that and that together the World inclines
to the opinion that the most appalling
future to Radcalism is apparent. Let the
discounted arithmetic of the Repub-
lican press who have tried to cipher Ad :
ministration gains out of the New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut elections try their
fingers at this problem. Suppose that the
fecundity of the Democratic mother is
thrice as great as that of the Republican

another Republican President Of the United
States is elected? Answers may be sent

One of the most remarkable and as

lated by the Freeport Netc Era On Jan
uary 9th, 1915, a hog belonging To Mr. S.
5. Armstrong, of Allegheny township,
Westmoreland county, was lying near a
straw stack in the field, OH the day named
above, and by some means the stack fell
down. completely burying his hogship un-
der the straw, and unable to get out. He
remained under the straw for lifty-four
days, and is now living, Mr.. Armstrong
had given the hog up for lost, until thev
were taking away the straw a few davs

4 PE1cEsUL settlement Of the appar-
c.tly iutelu.naL.e Louisiana Ques-
ton was reached last week. The
legislature met in extra session and
aduuted what is known rs the Con
cressioral compromise IN pursuance
Of tie terms Of this settlement. the
Democratic or conservative members
Of the lower branch Of the Legislature,
who had been expelled on the 4th Of
January hy Grants soldiers, were re-
stored 10 their seats. and the Radicals
who had been installed in their places
withdrew The Democrats are thus
rciustated in their ascendancy in the
House. while the Radicals retain their
majority In the Senate. Another and
by far the most important part Of the
compact IS that Kellogg is to be re-
coguized a. Governor Of the State, and
t. be supported during the remainder
or hi- term in establishing the author
i-v Of the State government, although
he never was elected and has been re-
peatediv denounced a. having usurped
MS Office by leading men Of his own
political party. OF course this settle
ment Of the difficulties in Louisiana IS
entirely without legal force or sane
ton. but has been accepted by both
parties in the State in the interest OF
peace and order The upsettiug and
overturuirc oC q State government in
this singular way IS q most dangerous
precedent and one that it IS 10 be hoped
will never hereafter he initiated. The
people Of the State have borne their
wrongs with q degree OF patience that
i uneXampied, and they only acquiesce
now in temporary suspension Of their
right to the full possession Of the State
government because thev desire peace
and quiet IS an czcape from the mis-
rulc, anarchy and confusion which
have Systematically plundered and op-
pressed them. Such a patched up
compromise would not have been ZEN
dcred necessary O: eXpedient under
any other administration than that Of
Grant. Vow that It has been made.
We trust It will be honestly adhered
