Correspondence Of the Beacon
ST. lNIGoEs', AUG. n. 1876.
SPECTATOR.

After long continued drought, this
part of the county has during the las,
two weeks been blessed with abundan,
and copious showers from the watery
elements, and under its beneficent in.
ffuence, coupled with that of the ex.
ceeding warm weather, all kinds Of veg
citation have greatly improved. Corn,
which has in many cases assumed the
yellow tinge Of the Autumn leaf, has
been transformed into an ivy green,
and farmers are encouraged with the
hope Of fair average yield Of this in
dispensable cereal. Ascending from the
mundane to the ethereal, il is with plea
sure We are enabled to record that the
congregation of st. lnigoes' church has
had extended to it one Of those rare IA
vors which contribute so much to their
spiritual welfare-a mission and retreat
which has resulted in a general re-
vival ofreligious fervor among the Cath
olics of this section. The mission COM
menced on Thursday, 10th inst. The
eloquent and effective appeals of Father
Lagan, who conducted the mission the
first three days, were rewarded with
most abundant fruit, as shown by the
large number of communicates. Father
Lagan left on Saturday evening. The
concluding sermon was preached by
Father Hughes, after which Father
OConnor gave the Papal Benediction,
and in prefacing the ceremony with a
few explanatory remarks, referred in
eloquent terms to st. Mary's as the
place where the faith was first planted
and nurtured in this country, and urged
his hearers never to lose it. The peo-
pie have been much pleased with the
mission and have manifested their ap-
probation by crowded church each
day and eagerness for reconciliation
with their Maker. Some months age
the erection of large and commodious
building was commenced on the lef,
bank of the ST. Mary's river near St.
Inigoes' church, intended as a Summer
resort for scholastics studying for the
ministry, and early in July it was Sc
far completed as to be fit for occupa-
ton, and since the latter time quite a
number of schola>tics, together with a
few priests, have been spending the
Summer at this place.
1t probably to this circumstance that
the mission is chiefly owing, and it Is
now expected we will have a similar
revival every Summer. The remain
ing scholastics and divines all left here
last Tuesday evening very much pleas
ed with their temporary sojourn, and
with thankful hearts to Mr.. Lancaster
who first conceived and carried out the
project of building for them Summer
resort at this place.

"THE FIGHT FOR We
give place on the first page ofour present
issue to the most remarkable speech
delivered during the sittings of the re-
markable Congress which has just ter.
minated its first session by adjourn
ment. II was made by Mr.. Randall,
of Pa, Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations and the putative leader
of the Democratic party in the Lower
House. II discusses but one subject
Mountaineering, under appropri-
ate headings, first, the appropriations
made by the Republican Congress the
previous year, then the Republican De-
partmcntal estimates for the year ending
June 80, 1877. then the recommends
tions of the Democratic House Com
mI'tce on Appropriations, then the
amounts passed by the Democratic
House, then the amounts passed by the
Republican Senate, and finally the diff
fcrcnt appropriation items as they now
stand in the statute book. All the
stati>tlcs of Mr.. Randall are of record
verify, unquc>tioned and unique stion.
able. This being the case, it rests on
positive proof that the Democratic House
worthy coadjutor of Tildcn in the
work OF reform-has reduced appro-
prlations, without hurt or damage to the
public service, nearly thirty millions of
money, and this, too. in the face of a
bitter and pronounced antagonism by
the Republican Senate. 1t is in cv:-
denc", also, and conclu>ivcly establish
ed that these appropriation bills could
have been reduced ten millions more
without damage TO the public service and
that this additional reduction would
have been effected by the House but for
the distractions of the Republican SEN
ate. But this whole matter is so fully
and clearly stated and eNhaustiveIs dis
eussed by MIR. Randall, that we consid-
or ourselves relieved of the necessity
OF further mention in regard TO il and
refer the reader TO the speech itself.

The Tournament nj BlakiStOne'S,

of attending the tournament and festival
held under the auspices of the ladies
of All Saints Chapel, at DIR. Blakis.

nounced in your paper.
The morning OF the 18th instant, the
day advertised, promised a beautiful
one, but, notwithstanding, the efforts
Of old Sol to throw his radiant light
upon us, the Storm King succeed
ed in the evening in throwing a
shadow over our land. Long before
the appointed hour,a large assemblage
Of persons, from different parts of our
county, had gathered to witness the ex-
citing and historic sports Of the tourney.
At the designated hour, the knights
were marshalled by Chief Marshal Os-
car G.. Hayden, assisted by Mr.. George
X. Garner. Thejudges chosen for the &C.
casion, were Col. John F. Dent, MeSsrs.
A. Burch and X. ii. Garner. The
knights were summoned to the judges
stand, and received their final instruc-
tons from MIR. Oscar Hayden.
The contestants for knightly honors,
were well mounted, and, as they ap-
preached the judges stand in double file,
with their gaily caparisoned steeds,
vari colored sashes and tiuttering plumes
each gracefully balancing his lance,
they presented picturesque specta-
Gle. They were allotted FIVE rides
at three rings. They were nowcalled
to the charge in their respective order
by the herald, Mr.. Joseph Allstan.
Though the rain was now falling fast
each knight rushed through the arches
like warrior, fearing nothing; but
soon the storm increased, and It was
announced that all would repair to the
Pavilion for shelter. But the rain did
not quench the fire of the youthful as
pirants for the victor's prize, for after i,
subsidized little. they marched back to
the field Of contest, in martial array,
as eager to win the object of their high
est hope, as the warriors of old were
for Fame. Each controlled his steed
with the grace and ease OF practiced
rider. Alter each knight had exhaus-
ted his FIVE rides the following was the

Tue True WAY TO SArErY.-Goy
Tlldcn, in his letter of acceptance
shows how the whole national debt can
be paid off in the comparatively short
period OF thirty-eisht years, simply BY
the adoption of a financial policy which
would secure to the country the high
e>tcredit. BY wisely availing ourselves
OF this, he estimates that a reduction o,
one per cent. on the interest of the
loans could he effected and this saving,
invested at the low rate of four.and-a.
half per cent. interest, would cancel our
entire national debt in the course OF
thirty-eight years.
