learn that the long felt need of a mercantiles
house at the White Sulphur Springs has at
last been supplied. Spencer Bros, whose
card appears in this issue have fitted up a
store room, purchased supply of goods
and have spread them OUT and invite the
custom of the valley. They have good
supply OF staple goods, and will continue to
add to their stock until it comprises "a full
variety OF ranch supplies. See "add ''in To-.
cal column.
We would call the attention of the Smith
river stock growers, and the miners of Con-
ftderate and adjacent gulches to- the adver
tisement Of Missouri valleys successful
gardener j. w. Hinton. Having by a dint
OF energy and industry kept off the grass
hoppers, his crop of vegetables is very large.
His location being*on the bench lanGy the
quality of the same is unsurpassed. 1t is his
intention to dispose Of his entire crop before
cold weather, and he therefore proposes to
sell at reasonable figures. Those wishing
supplies for the winter will do well to- give
him call.
The,attention. of cattle growers, farmers,
and dairymen who wish to improve their
herds is directed to the card of James d.
Galloway which will be found In our Breed
ers Directory this week. Mr.tGallaWay has
been engaged in breeding pure blooded
Short-horns for number OF years, and now
has herd whichahas few equals in this
TERRITORY. His inportations were from
milk producing families, and his breeding
has been with view to preserve and pro-
mote these qualities. 1t is 4. we'll established
fact that the .Durham when bred to milk is
hard to excel, even hby fancy dairy baeeds.
They are, we think, the best class of cattle
for the farmer, most of whom desire to
grow, botllsbeef and dairy animals. We
would therefore recommend those wishing
to breed in this line to examine Mr.. Calla-
ways herd, which they will find to be first
class.

ST. ~lStFRlDE, VIRGIN, MARTYR.
Early in the seventh century Winefride,
q maiden OF princely birth in the kiBgd0m
of Wales, moved by the counsels of ST.
Beuno, to whose care she had been com
mitted as g child, vowed her virginity TO
God and having received the veil from
his hands, retired with certain of her com
panious to nunDery which her father had
built for her not far FROM his owu house.
This step excited tie rage of Caradcc, the
con OF the king of that country, who bad
sought her in marriage; he sesailed her
with words OF reproach aud insult, and at
last in a paroxystn uf fury, fell op her with
drawn sword, and severed her head from
her body. Then" writes the old csroui
cler, 'whcIe the virgin fell there sprang

basin were stained red 90 blood, and q

opened to swallow up the wicked prince,
and how at the prayer OF Beuno his victim

ST. NARCISSUS, MARTYR.

st. Narclssus WAS consecrated bishop of
Jerusalem about the year $50. He was
already an old man, and God sttested bis
merits by many miracles which were
long held in memory by the Christians of
Jerusalem But his very virtue made him
enemies, and three wretched msn charged
him in the presence of the Church with an
atroc'oas crime. They confirmed their
testimony by horrible imprecations the
first prayed that he might perish by fire,
the second that he might be wasted by
leprosy, the third that he might be struck
falsely. The holy bishop had long desired
life of solitude, and he withdrew secretly
into the desert, leaving the Church in
peace. But God spoke for him Who would
not speak for himself. The fret of his
accueers was burnt in his own house, the
second became leper, she third confess-
ed and mourned over his guilt, but the
very extremity of his contrition deprived
him of sight. When Narcissus returned
to Jerusalem, another bishop sat in his
place but ~ tue cntreary of his flock he
resumed his office. Hs died in extreme
old age, bishop to the last; for God, who
had protected his good name, sent him, by
| revelation, a coadjutor to share his bur
den when he was unable to bear it alone.
Among the many miracles of this Saint
one is recorded which illustrates that came
confidence in God which sustained him
under caiumny. One holy Saturday in the
| church the faithful were in great trouble,
| because no oil could be found for the laDps
| which were used ia the Paschal feast. St.
Narcissus bade them draw water from a
| neighborin2 we'll when the water was
brought TO him lie prayed over it, and
full of faith in God, told them to PUT il
in tho lamps. 1t was changed into oil, and
! long after some of this oil was preserved
at Jerusalem in memory of the miracle.

THE THEBAN LEGION.

The Tbeban legion numbered more than
six thousand men. They are said to have
been converted To the faith by a Bishop cf
Jerusalem, but in any case they marched
| from the f 4st into Gaul and proved their
loyalty at ouce to their emperor aud their
God. They were encamped near the Lake
OF Geneva, under the Emperor Maximian,
when they got orders, as We are told by St,
Eucberius, the famous Bishop of Lyons, to
turn their swords against the Christian
population, and refused to obey. In his
fury, Maximian ordered them to be deci.
mated. The order was executed once and
again, but they endured this without a
murmur or an effort to defend themselves
st. Maurice, the chief captain in this legion
of m artyrs, encouraged the rest to perse-
we're and follow their comrades to heaven.
"Kuow, o emperor" he eaid, "that we are
your eoldiers, but we are servants also Of
the true God. In all things lawful we
will most readily obey, but we cannot
stain our hands in this innocent blood. We
have seen our comrades slain, and we re-
joice at their honor. We have arme, but
we resist not, for we had rather die with
out shame than live by ein." As the mas
sacre began, these generous soldiers flung
down their arms, offered their necks to
the sword, and suffered themselves to be
butchered in silence. They died as they
had lived, faithful disciples of Him who
was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and
was oumb as iano oetore MS shearers.
Violence trtuDphs over meekness for
little, but in the end Christ fulfls His
promise, and the meek possess the earth.
Maximian was strangled at Lyons by the
order of mis- own son n-in-law, and he has
earned never ending shame by the perse-
cution of the Christians. But the glory of
the Theban legion is eternal. Ia the fourth
century their resting place was made
known by revelation, aud the fame of this
miracle spread abroad. By the shrine of
the "happy legion" Sigismund, king of
Burgundy, did penahce foT his sins and
endowed a monastery. To this day, the
place in which they suffered is called after
St. Maurice, the chief Of that brave band,
which Quilted an earthly service and went
to praise God forever in the multitude Of
the heavenly host.
