4 FASCINATING BUT IMPOSS!BI4 /
DREAM

A short. time since the Washington
correspondent Of the New York Tribune
spoke of Senator Bayard as "a fascinat-
ing dream, impossible of realization. !"
This was very high compliment to the
distinguished Senator from Delaware
the highest, perhaps. that could be paid
IN eminent public man in an era like
ehis. But we doubt If splendid virtues
and noble and intrepid temper render a
man an impossible leader in q corrupt
and protligate age. The elder Pitt must,
70 many OF his contemporaries in the
prohigate era Of George Ill. have
seemed, at FIRST. "a fascinating dream,
impossible Of realization; !" and yet, his
dauntIess courage; his high purpose !;
his indomitable energy; all sustained
ny the confidence he inspired, and the
nobler spirit he awoke among a de-
raoralized people. lifted England out Of
ahe very slough Of despair and raised
her fortunes to the highest point Of
glory. There is very little similarity
kotween Lord Chatham and Mr.. Bay
aFd. except, that in some respects the
Latter moves, as the former did, upon q
much higher plane OF thought and pa
sriotism than his generation. Yet. since
NIL history establishes the fact that all
true liberty ia founded in the immuta-
fAe principles Of justice, and that vice,
And corruptiop. and selfish and un-
hridted ambition. unless extirpated,
nrst euervatc. and then destroy free in
StItULpns. may we not assume that
such men are not mere fascinating
dreamers in politics, but that they are
rather the inspired prophets and daunt-
Toss chiefs whose trumpet tongued voices
ia time call back an erring generation
90. and whose courage and truth re-es-
tabltsh society and government upon,
tho solid basis OF enduring principles ?
The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-04-29

The riflemen Of the Crescent City Ritle

morrow morning at their shooting

thousand yards. and the contest Tor

consecutive DAYS, and the eight best

/" THE FATAL FESPERS."

The following interesting paragraph ap-
peared in the London Times of the 25th
March:
During the last few days the workmen
employed in cleaning out the rubbish
which has long blocked up the crypt of
St. EtheldreGa's Chapel have come upon
a quantity of human skeletons, 19 in num-
Der, all of them but one lying with their
feet towards the east. Several of them
were nearly perfect when discovered, but
all crumbled into ust on being exposed to
the outer air. With one or two of them
were discovered parts of small crucifixes
and rosaries, showing shat they were Cath
olics. The skeleton which was buried
with it's feet in the opposite direction was
Doubtless that of a priest, as in the medieval
times that was the practice with regard to
the clergy. In all probability these skele
tons were those of the unfortunate persons
who were accidentally killed at the Fatal
Vespers at Hunsdon House, in Blackfriars,
in 1923, when, during q sermon preached
by Jesuit priest, one Mester DiuTy,' the
beams which supported the floor gave way,
and precipitated the congregation into the
room below, occupied by the chaplain of
the French Ambassador. The deaths on
this occasion were 95 in all, including
Lady Webb, a daughter of Lady Black
stone, one John Halifax, water bearer )
a gentleman of Gray's slim, named Ftz
Oarret, anu seNelal OtheT persons mnoso
names are Pecor ded in Mr.. Walter Thorn
bury's Old and New London from which
we learn that nearly so of the killed were
buried in the back courtyard of the Bishops
Palace, Ely House, Holborn. 1t will be
remem bered by the readers of the history
of the reign of james l. that the fanatics of
both partIes-bOth the Catholics and the
PrOtestants-had much to say about this
terrible accident, that it gave rise to seve-
raj pamphlets, incriminat0Fy and FecFim-
inatory, and that the Fatal Vespers,' as
that terrible day at Backfriars was after
wards called, were long regarded with a
shudder by the English Catholics. 1t is
more than probable that the priest whose
bones were discovered on Monday in Ely
Chapel was either the Jesuit Drury,
already mentioned; or his colleague, Fa-
Their Rudgate, who lived in the room below,
for it is on record that both persisted in the
ruins"

Fear and timidity fled at tbeee words
The dropping lashes lifted quickly, the
blue eyes gave a searching, confding
glance and,
"My name is Hope Eng lish, sir," thrilled
both ear and heart of the astonished gentle
man. For some seconds he remained as
if stupefed, and the child dreming her
self doubted, and involuntarily wishing
to gain favor in his eyes, drew from
her bosom small silver medal, which
she held up for the inspection of Mr.. Aun-

will read upon this medal which she placed

The letters were indeed very plain but,
| Mr.. Aunberg's eyes were covered with a
mist that for a brief while obscured their
| vision. But he recognized the silver medal
as one that had belonged to his own be-
loved Hope English to her who had been

Scarcely one week later, our blue eyed

rode in elegant carriage past the brown

AN AsTONIsHED INDIAN Somebody
dropped some quicksilver on the sidewalk
in Main street recently, and an Indian tried
to pick it up. First he made a grab at it
with his thumb and forefuger, and was as
tonished when he couldn't pick it up. He
was determined to have that quicksilver;
80 he unwound handk erchie eff from his hat,
and spreading it on the ground got chip
and scraped the quicksilver into it. A look
of trium phi shot from his eagle eye as he
gathered up the four corners of the hand
kerchief, but it was replaced by one of
horror and disgust when the metal ran
through the fabric like water through a
sieve. Looking at the metal as it lay on
the ground, he launched vicious kick at
it, and uttered the ejaculation used by a
keno player when some other fellow makes
