ARMY & NAVY UNIoN.-The committee of
this Association mean to give our people
grand good time next Tuesday, and we hope a
goodly number will improve this opportunity
to visit the mountains The train will not stop
at way stations after leaving Baldwin, but will
run through to the Crawford without stopping
except for wood and water. This will make
the running time much shorter.
During the day the excursionists will have
ride to the Fabyan House without extra ex-
pense. This will give them chance to see the
whole White Mountain range. Chambers
splendid band will accompany the party, and
their fine playing will add great deal to the
occasion. Get your picnic baskets packed and
be all ready early Tuesday morning. Should
the weather be unpleasant the excursion will
90 the next fair day.

REMOVABLE has been bruited about for a
long time past that Lewis, Written & Co. in
tended to remove their warehouse from Custom
House wharf across to Portland Pier on some
scows. Anything like that had never been at
tempted before here, and it was confidently as
serted on all sides that it would be failure.
But yesterday it was clearly demonstrated that
such an undertaking co1ld be accomplished.
The warehouse, which is two stories high and
filled with goods, was first raised by jack
screws, and then by means of steam pile
driver was rolled on rollers at high tide upon
two large scows, each 120 feet long and % feet
wide. Both house and scows were then lowed
to the head of Portland Pier by the steam tug
Tiger. The building was then rolled from the
scow to the wharf by means Of rollers In the
moving of the building so perfect were the ar.
engagements of Mr.. N. w. Low, who contracted
the work, that not an article In the building
was either removed or broken. The scows, the
capacity of which is 300 tons each, were sunk
only three inches by the building, which weighs
about 60 tons. The wharves were thronged by
spectators who we're evidently surprised to see
the building so easily and simply removed.

CAPsIzED.-J. HI. Farnham, telegraph oper-
ator at the Ocean House, informs us that a
boat was capsized at Old Orchard yesterday by
the surf, while trying to land a party of ladies
and gentlemen at the beach. They were all
thoroughly wet, and the ladies quite overcome
by fright and the sudden bath. Two of the
ladies were thrown under the boat, rendering
it difficult to gain footing. Mr.. w. d.
Houghton of Chicago, who happened near by,
rendered them assistance, taking them to the
Ocean House, where dry clothes and a good
dinner were furnished. They left in good
spirits for Prout's Neck by rail, from which
point they had just left by sail.

the Live Oaks of Lynn sDd the Resolutes, which
was to have been played last Thursday, will be
played next Tuesday, 10th inst, on the Bark
grounds. No game of ball has been played in

game and the curiosity to seel the nine that
gave the Resolutes the soundest drubbing they
ever had will attract large crowd.
This afternoon, if the weather is favorable, a
''nobby" game will be played on the Western

men, from the legal, medical, theological
and mercantile professions, styling

Schools were established, it is true, but to
bring up the children of Catholics as Protest
ants, and if they refused to avail themselves OF
these on such conditions, they were deliberately
consigned to hopeless ignorance, being excluded
from the university and debarred under crush
ing penalties from acting as schoolmasters, as
ushers or as private tutors, Or from even
sending their children abroad to obtain the
instruction denied to them at home. Add to
this the paralyzing of Irish Catholic Industry
IN all its branches. But the mission of the
prosecutor was fulfilled. The chalice of bitter
ness had too long been held to Ireland's lips.
1t remained for the deiverer to fulfill his
mission.
This was the condition of ireland in 1775,
Cos years after the descent of Henry, the
Anglo Norman King, when two events hap
pened widely different and widely distant
British troops were fred upon in America aud
OConnell was born. Ireland not only sympa-
thized with America, but she yielded at once
to the sway of the great American idea of
universal emancipation. O'ConnelPs youth
was quiet as the brook by which he spent it.
But lrelands hills had a power for him. and he
wove bright dreams of the Future.
O'Connell's mission was to achieve liberty OF
conscience, Catholic emancipation. But how
was it to be accomplished? His grand prin-
ciple was not bloody war with its Thousand
SdCTluCeS. Dut uoTdt SudSlOu OH PUBIC OPINION.
But how could public opinion be so directed as
to achieve the desired end? Burke, Fox, Cam
ming, Brougham had pleaded for Catholic
emancipation in the British Senate; had shown
the ahsurdity unrighteousness and inhumanty
of the religious penal code, and had demon.
strated that it was as ruinous to Protestant
England as to Catholic Ireland. The British
government was already convinced: it must be
made to fear and tremble But how? 1t must
begin with Ireland, and what then? On the
one hand was single individual and an i'm.
poverished, oppressed. degraded nation on the
other the talent and learning of Great
Britain, with its Lords and Commons
the Church of England, the King bound
by his coronation oath and even the Catholic
clergy at that moment were not reliable. The
agitator foresaw that by his character and DO
sition he must become King of Ireland. Time
and experience ripened the liberator. The
bar of Dublin opposed the young reformer.
The corporation of Dublin sent champion,
DEsterre, who called him to the field of COM
bat. He slew the supercilious adversary and
pensioned bis widow, and mourning over his
almost involuntary crime, trampled thence
