ORGANIZATION OF IRISH CATHOLICS


ST. LOUIS. Dec. 30-Delegates from 81 Irish
Catholic societies, having an active member
ship of 5000 men, met yesterday afternoon
and effected a close union. A constitution
adopted providing for the election of q grand
marshal, and staff, with subordinate ofaners.
The organization is of o semi-milisary charac-
ter. The idea is to perfect the entire body in
discipline and drill. The largest society of
this organization, tho Ancient Order of Hber-
mans, having $500 members in the city and su-
burbs have already taken steps to procure
arms and commence drilling All the lead
ing Irishmen in the city, and many of the
priests, are active members of the societies
It is intended to bind them still more strongly
together, by insurance schemes and other in
terests. The movement is looked upon as O
very formidable one.-4ssooiated Press
The above dispatch has been published
in all the papers of the country. 1t is
strange that the self.evident absurdity of
the statement should not have caused its
suppression. The capard grew out of q
convention Of local societies held some time
since, for the purpose Of systematizing the
st. Patrick's Day parade, and of fixing the
election and duties Of the Grand Marshal.
We have never heard OF any society in our
city applying for arms or contemplating
transition into q military organization. The
agent OF the Associated Press in this city
must be gifted With o fertile imagination.

deal of fun was Poked at the New jersey
editor who read in the cable dispatches
that "Bszaipe has moved twenty kilometres
out of Meta He thereuponi sat down and
wrote on editorial, in. which he said he was
delighted to hear that all the kilometres
had been removed, and that the innocent
people of Metz were no longer endangered
by the presence of those devlish engines OF
war-sleeping upon volcano, as it were.
And then he went on to describe some ex-
periments made with kilometres in the
Crimea, in which one of them exploded
and blew o fFigate out of the water.

I Matilda had taken refuge in q cell Of the
Abbey of Groepingen during the battle, with
or she was accompanied by Adolfs sister. Her
terror and anxiety were extreme; her relatives,
her beloved AdolE--all were in that fearful
conflict. On the issue of this contest, waged
by the Flemines against 30 overwhelming .
foe, hung the freedom of her father; this field
of battle would either ~ia ser him again the
throne of Flandersy or foreyef crumbie ii to
dust. We're the French victcrions, she knew
that the death Of all she loved was inevitable,
and that aome horrid doom awaited herself.
As the war-trumpets echoed over the field, both
maidens shuddered and grew pale, as if in that
sound the stroke of death had descended on
them. Their terror was too great to be ex-
pressed in words; they fell on their knees,
buried their faces in their hands, and hot
tears streamed down their cheeks. And thus
they lay in fervent prayer, motionless, almost
lifeless, as though sunk in heavy slumber,
while from time to time deep groan broke
from their crushed hearts. AS they caught the
distant sounds of the fight, Maria signed:
80 God Almighty, Lord God of Hosts, have
mercy on usl Bring us help in this our hour
ef need, o Lord!"
Aud Matilda's gentle voice continued:
20 loving Jesus, Redeemer OF men, shield
him! Call him not to Thee, o Jesus most mer-
ciful! Holy Mother of God, pray for us! o
Mother of Christ, consolation Of the afflicted,
pray for himW
Then the roar of battle came nearer, and
filed their hearts with fresh alarms and their
hands shook like the tender leaves of the
aspen-tree. Deeper sank their heads upon
their breasts, their tears flowed more abund-
antly, and their prayers were murmured with
fainter voice, for terror had psralysed all their
energies.

Mr.. 5. A. Gilbert, OF this county, c,me to
toxin on Mond,y last 20 court, and while, ii is
supposed, in a stale Of inloXicatiOD, on Mon
day night wandered OF up the railroad, and
on Tuesday n.orurg about O'Clock was
found lying iu,en stole under snail bridge
that crosses the old Lynchburg wagon road
near the university. He was taken to Il
house in the nei.Lborhoo6, where he lin
.rrcd till Tuesday hight, when he died, being
to the last unable to give any account OIL
himself or how he came there.
The facts becoming Known to Coroner
Brown, he empappeled jury of inquest,
and with Drs. Lewis, Nelson, and Dice pro-
cceded Yesterday to examine the body. The
surgeons found an abrasion of the skin on
one side of the head, but no fracture OF the

testified substantially the same 'hlng-that

He was taken 10 the house of HRS. Reid,
near by, where he died.
The jury returned verdict to the effect
that he came TO his death by blow on bis
bead from some cause TO them unknown. II
is the opinion of SOM, however, that be fell
from the bridge, which is only about ten feet
high, but the road below is very stony.
Others have doubts that bis death could have
teen caused by such fall, especially as be
was known to have been Intoxicated. His
pockets had evidently been tempered WITH,
though his pocket-book, without money, was
still on his person. Mr.. Gilbert wasa Cana

no telling what the result may yet be. IL l.
said that most Of the peiches are certainly
killed, but apples and pears are not injured
much. The early strawberries were lost,

only be little later. Irish potatoes were
