cathedral of the Holy Name yesterday

spoke at some length of the latter years OF
Christ's life. and then of the Catholic

to its age, power. and glory, and said it was
the grandest of all human works; grandesl

Pennsylvania is always ready for an
emergency. When HENRY WATTERsoN
announced that he was going to have
one hundred thousand unsrmed lambs ia Wash
ington to witness the count, the truly loyal
legislature Of the Keystone State prepared
resolution asking for an appropriation of one
million dollars to put the militia on
war footing. Yesterday several promi-
nent members Of the Legislature vls-
Tied Washington and inspected the situa-
ton, for the purpose of ascertaining whether
the militia would be needed or not. The
first impression was that 1t would be needed.
They got this from Professor SEELYE's rabid
Democratic speech, but when they heard
HENRY WATTERsoN deliver his elegant "give
up" grafton, they Immediately held caucus
in the cloak room o. the House, and unani-
mously decided that the militia should re-
main on peace footing and the battle flag
should continue furled until further orders.
Peace, gentle peace, is the watchword of the
hour.
