the detachment which had gone to examine
it during the night we're still in it, he blew it
up, supposing that their destruction would
cool the ardor of their companions. He was
in too great hurry. No one was in the
house. Had he delayed for only few hours,
be would have inflicted severe blow upon
the besiegers
To avoid the destruction which Lee and
Pickens saw would follow an assault, these
officers, on the 31st of May, summoned Col.
Brown to surrender. To this summons Col.
Brown replied: "It is my duty and inclina-
tion to defend this place to the last extremity"
On the Sd of June, he was again summoned.
To this second summons he replied in the
identical language which he used in replying
to the first. On the 4th, Lee and Pickens
sent request to Colonel Brown, desiring him
to send the American prisoners in his posses.
sion out of the fort, to be regarded, say they,
"yours or ours as the siege may terminate" !"
With this humane request Colonel Brown re-
fused to comply.
On the morning of the 9th, Brown sent an
officer, with flag, to the headquarters of the
American officers. This officer bore from
Colonel Brown proposal to surrender, In
his letter, he stated, by way, no doubt, of pal
liation for bis former naughty air, that the
American officers had proposed no definite
conditions of surrender. He now proposed
to surrender upon the same conditions which
had been granted to the troops and garrison
in Charleston.
To this communication, Lee and Pickens
replied that although we should be justified
by the military law of both armies to demand
unconditional submission, our sympathy for
the unfortunate and gallant of our profession
has induced US to grant the honorable terms

ERLSCOPAL JUBILEEooF TIE POPE.

There IL fact of surprising interest to
Cetnol1cs, and one perhaps not generally
known, at least in this country, that will
mark with character of its own the pre-
sent year Of Grace, 1877. Every feature in
the personal history of our Holy Father
rms TX. combines to raise his life out OF
the category of ordinary men, and his reign
above the level of other Pontiffs. Amongst
those features the duration of his life aud
reign are not the least remarkable, but the
wonder with which we regard them ia
intensifed when we consider that not only
has Plus IN. exceeded the years of st.
Peter, but that he has actually discharged
the active duty of the Episcopal Office for
length of time of which there can be but
few presidents in the biographies of Bish-
ops, ancient or modern. The "Directory !"
tells US that John Mary Mastai- Ferretti
was consecrated Archbishop of Spo'eto,
June 3, 1897, he being then in the thirty
fifth year of his age. We have reached
therefore this year the Episcopal Jubilee of
the Sovereign POntiff, and amongst the
Catholic nations abroad steps are being
taken to solemnize the anniversary, as it
will undoubtedly be eolem Lzed throughout
Christendom. We observe that the Belgian
Catholics, who are never the last at any
public duty or religious enterprise, have
been foremost in this. Already the Central
Committee of Pontitical Works at Brussels,
and the st. Peters Pence Society at Client,
of which the Comte d "A lcantara is president,
have issued appeals, and the former society
has published the draft of an address to the
Holy Father, expressing in eloquent terms
tue feelings of veneration, affection and
loyalty which ought to animate. and do ami
mate, all true Catholics towards the Holy
Father 1t is an address which, with the
simple change of name, might equally serve
for England; but point for the considera
ton of those whose special duty it ia to
manage these things is whether the ad
dresses presented should be identical or
varied in their wording. One sentiment in
the Belgian draft address ls so admirable
and so appropriate to the case of Catholics
at the present day, that will we trust, in
substance. find place in every similar doc
ument. We reject says the Brussels
Committee, "the L,beralistic heresy which
would split the personality of man into
two contradictory fractions the while the
same individual being in private life a Cath
olic, in publche is Liberal. Holy Father,
what We are before you and in the bosom
Of our families that will we be also in the
trials and conflicts of public life-never,
with Gods help, will we be ashamed to be
and to own ourselves Catholics"

Il COMMA ASAN INSTR UMENT OF FRA I'll

The claim of the United States for the
return of the 81 500 GOO lent to help out the
Centennial Elk positinn bas been rejected by
the United States Circuit Court ut Pbila
delphia, although there are abundant
funds remaining 10 the hands of the mana
gers with which to satisfy it. Consequent
", unless the decision of the court is re-
versed on appeal, the 81 500, 900 will be
distributed among tho shareholders in the
enterprise, aud be just so much taken out
of the public Treasury for their benefit:
That this would be the result was foretod
by the opponents OF the loan at the tine IL
was proposed, and was Indignantly denied
by its friends. Some of them, at least,
we're disingenous in their denial, and in
tended that the money shou!d be a git
and not a loan, as Is evident from the
peculiar wording of the bill apprOpriatiDg
1t.
The clause which was relied on to pro-
tect the interests of the nation, and which
was used to secure votes for the grant,
reads thus:
Tho appropriation hereinbofore made shall
10 paid in fuii into the Treasury of the United
States before sCy dividend, or percentage of
the profits shall be paid TO the holders OF said
stock"
The advocates of tho grant prOfessed to
read these words with Il comma after the
word dividend" and persuaded the pnbllc
that no dividend of any kind would be
paid to the stockholders until the loan
from the United States lad been first re
turned. Now, by their counsel learned in
the law, they have successfully contended
that there is no such comma, and that only
dividend or per centage of the profits
was intended. Inasmuch as dividend OF
capital is not a dividend of profits, they
have got the Judge to say that the stock
holders may pocket the 81 100000 as re-
turned capital, and the United States must
! lose the whole.
This is not the fret time that comma or
the want of it has been made a fsh hook by
| which to pull money out OF the public
| Treasury. A clause In the Tariff act of
1873, by the omission of this modest sign
of punctuation, admitted free of duty all
kinds of foreign fruits, when the intention
of Congress was merely to exempt fruits
| imported for the sake of their seeds. The
trick in that case was universally denounced
and speedily frustrated, but in regard to
the 81 500 600 now in question the nation
is very possibly without a remedy The
whole transaction is in keeping with the
character of city which shelters Addi-
fiOD, Division, and Silence Ksmble.

The Emperor Of Brazil, who is at present
travelling IN Egypt, met with a disagreesble
adventure the other day in Cairo. HIS Ma
Jesty is very fond of donkey riding, and one
morning. having desoended into the street in q
jacket aud small cap, with light switch I'M
der HE arm, mounted one of THESE little ami
y labyrinth of back streets. Ga returning from
key in front of his hotel, he pulled IL up few
having any small change" in his pocket, gave
the donkey driver guinea inBteUd of piastre
The donkey driver, however, had never before
ssen n coin Of this nature, and looking 6rst at
the Guines and then at the Emperor came to
she conclusion that the guinea was merely
worthless counter, and that an attempt was
being made TO "chisel' him. The row he made
was terrific rushing after the Emperor, who
had walked of RJ rapid pace toward the ho-
bsl where his suite were auxiously awaiting
him, the donkey driver aesalled his Maj ssJy
with all the most borTid oaths in the Arab vO-
oSbulaTy. The Emperor, who does not under
stand single word of Arabic, bat saw that
She man was lsboriRE under a misappreheu-
sion, endeavOTed in vain to explain to him that
the coin was gold and not copper. In the
mean time other donkey drivers hurried to the
spot, aud taking the part of their mate, follow
I'd theEmperor with storm of imprecations.
Thus surrounded by mob OF donkeys and
their drivers, the hapless Dom Pedro at laPt
reached his hotel where tho whole affair was
explained, and the donkey drivers, discovering
Sho true state of tho case, miraculously disap-
peared in the twinkliDg of an eye.

Among the addresses lately presented to the
Holy Father from mis- faithful children was
one from the officers of the Pont fcal army, in
replying to which his Holiness alluded to the
fate of those who, having put their hands to
the plough, turned back. He knew that they
persevered in the right way, aud he could not
!0fer them better wIshes at this season than
that they might continue in it, and SO render
themselves worthy of tho Divine protection.
He bid them be deaf to the insidious voices
sEhich might tempt them To change their Dag,
and to remember the couneels of Ulysses, rho
ordered bis sailors to stop their ears in order
that they might not fall into the spares OF de-

The compact was observed for many years

A Flight Of Beetles.

The Milwaukee, (Wis.) Sentinel Of the
18th inst, says:
"About o'clock on Monday evening Su-
pervisor Egan, of Franklin, had his atten-
ton attracted by a roaring noise like the
coming of heavy railway train. There
being no railway near Franklin, he fansied
it must be something like the nature of
tornado, so great was the noise. He called
his son, who was equally puzzled. While
they were specializing on its probable
cause, the sky was suddenly darkened by a
vast swarm of flying insects. Far as the
eve could reach the air was full of them.
The swarm was moving in north-westeriy
direction, the main portion at great
heighth, but stragglers flying within reach,
and occasionally dropping to the earth
The width of the swarm could not be esti-
mated, it being twilight. No place could
be seen where they were not. Mr.. Egai
picked up several of the fatigued strag'
elers of this great army. They are beetles
a little larger than the potato beetle. Theil
color is dark brown, with bright spots on
the ends of their wings. He says that they
are not the Colorado beetle, having
stronger resemblance to what is commonly
known as the June bug. The swarm was
about twenty minutes in passing over tne
! village of Franklin, and must have contain
| ed untold millions of insects. Mr. EgaI
is of the opinion that unless they changed
their course they must have struck the
lake shore somewhere in the neis shborhooe
of Raw View"

Public Shearing in coloardo.

The Colorado Farmer gives an account of
an affair which will possess some interest
to our shepherds. 1t says: "The first
public shearing of sheep occurred ON the
Gath and Goth of April, at the ranches of
MIR. Ivory Philips, near Bijou Basin, Ell
Paso county, and Willard Brothers on Run
ming creek. A number of invitations 70
attend the shearing were extended to the
sheep men of the State, but owing to the
very stormy weather but few could get
there, nevertheless the sheep were shcrn as
per programme and below will be found
the results. Mr.. Philips rams were brought
from Vermont last season and were two
years old, and had about one years growth
of wool on them. They were in fair condi-
tion and taken altogether were good lot
Of rams.
Those owned by Willard Bros. were rams
that had been used for some time or bred
by themselves with the exception of the
ram Kiowa," which was bought last fall
OF Samuel Archer. This lot was larger
and probably in better flesh than Mr.. Phil
lips sheep. A close examination of the
list will show that they were of extra size,
and those who think Merino sheep are of
no account for mutton will be surprised at
the "heavy weights"
"Kiowa" sheared remarkable fleece
and if he lives we will look anxiously for
next years fleece. If he improves as his
owners predict, he will be the heaviest
shearing sheep on record.
Our readers can see the per centage of
wool to each weight of carcass in footing
up of each lot.
These gentlemen deserve great credit for
inaugurating these shearings; it will not be
long until Colorado will have much better
sheep than she now has if this is kept up.
And next year we hope to see the graded
Mexican sheep added to the list, and in
stead of only two enterprising sheepmen
contending in this friendly strife we hope
to see scores. And even at this early day
would suggest that at the meeting of the
wool growers this fall steps be taken to
make arrangements for an annual shearing
and arrage a programme of prizes, the
place and the time.
Col. Phillips rams shear the following
aeeces. The per centage is trifie over ~
per cent which is very good.
