ST. PATRICK'S DAY IN NATCHEz.
Condensed from Natchsz Democrat.


The day was in every respect lovely and
pleasant. At q little after half past nine
O'Clock a.. M, the members Of the Hibernian
Benevolent Association assem- bled ct their hall,
and proceeded in o body, with Marshal Fan
ming in command, to the Cathedral, there to
attend the celebration of High Mass. The
Cathedral was crowded, and Mass was celebrat
ed by Rev. Father Marty Rev. Father Finn de-
livered the sermon, taking for his theme the
life and deeds of st. Patrick. Father Finns
discourse was at once logical, eloquent and
beautiful. An Irishman himself, he threw his
whole soul and spirit into the subject, and kept
his audience for over half an hour in the plea
sure of following him as he traced the charac-
ter of the illustTious Saint, and the wonderful
effect of his teaching and example, upon the
Irish race directly, and indirectly upon the
world at large.
In the evening, at seven O'Clock, the Society
re-aesembl at the hall for the purpose of dis
cussin refreshments, and enjoying . feast of

A century ago French Marshal issued
an order against employing explosive
shells, on the ground that these missiles
were mot generally used By polite nations,
and Frenchmen should fight according to
the lava Of honor" That was the era of
etiquette in wsr-a day which produced
the story of Fontenoy, with it's "Gentle-
men of the Guards, fire first :" Modern
war long since got over it's scruples against
the use Of explosive shells, and we do not
hear as much now as we heard dozen
years ago of tho immortality of explosive
bullets for infantry arns. Admiral Lord
Duneany, in a recent lecture on the laws
and customs of war, as limiting the use of
freships, explosion vessels, torpedoes, and
submarine mines, noted that early in the
century it was held lawful to kill the crews
of fireships, when captured, on the ground
that they employed an inhuman device in
fighting; but now, he said, such q daughter
was never looked on with favor. In the
same way, torpedOes sent from one ship
pedoes, exploding by contact or by electri-
cal comm unieation, are now recognized as
legitimate, though Admiral DunsaDy
thought that concealed torpedoes must be
put in q different category from the others.
AS an example of an unfair missile, he in
etanced hollow iron Jumps filed with
dynamite, painted to look like coal, and
shipped on board the enemy's vessels &C
cuatfuR stations. But he was forced TO Rd-
nit that the rough game of war cannot be
PLAYED according to the ideas Of inter
national lawyers, while the failure OF the
Brussels Conference, four years ago, shows
the difficulty of defining what does not con-
stitute legitimate warfare.

THE ROME CORRESPONDENT OF THE
LONDON TIMES.
Catht lie Review.

Catholic Review.
The advantages attending the system of
anonymous journalism are great, but they
are often abused. For instance, to read in
our daily papers that "the Rome corres-
pondent Of the London Times" says 30 and
so, is to be predieposed tolbeleve the state-
ment which follows, for it is only natural
to suppose that the leading journal of Eu-
rope would take care that its correspondent
at the capital of Christendom should be not
only an intelligent but q truthful gentle
man. But if it were universally known
that "the Rome correspondent of the Lon
don Times was the notorious villain An
tonic Gallenga, who fooled MaZZini into
accepting him as a disciple of the revolu
tion, who concocted conspiracy for the
assassination of Charles Albert, King Of
Sardinia and father of Victor Emmanuel,
claiming for himself the honor of striking
the dagger into the breast Of his sovereign,
aud who then sold out his fellow dupes,
took his reward, and went to London
where he enlisted in the service of the
Times, the credence attached to any state
ment he might make wonld be very small.
Happily, the knowledge of the personality
of the Rome correspondent of the London
Times is becoming general. Thus, we read
in the daily Graphic Of the 9th inet.-and
the daily Graphic ia by no means a Catho-
lie journal-tne following caustic remarks
concerning Mr.. Gallenga:
"The present Rome correspondent of the
London Times is that estimable gentleman,
Mr Galleuga, who began his career as disci-
pie of Nazzlni, and engaged in conspiracy
for the ass8ssnstion OF Charles Albert, then
King of Sardinia and father Of Victor Emman.
uel. When the plot was ripe, MIR. Gallenga
betrayed his fe!lo low-coEspirstors, received tine
reward of hg treRchery, and went TO London
VI tn special lettar Of recommendation to the
Times. The ability of this man as a journalist
cannot be questioned; but he often seems to
take delight in misleading his own employers
and in fooling the English public. His dis
patch of yesterday concerning the new Pope
Is q case in point. Leo XIII, he tells us, in
his replies to addresses, etc, avoids all men
tion of the Virgin, with the purpose of dis
countenanciuG Marioistry,, which his Prede-
cessor 30 long encouraged " Yes-and the
Pope also avoids all mention of the Holy
Ghost, with the purpose of discounten sncin &
belief in the dogma of the Trinity he does
not N AXE any mention OF Hell-aRd therefore
he is q UniversaIIst. Mr.. Gallenga has rather
overshot his mark this time in his anxiety to
show that the new Pope is at all different
from the old Pope"

NUMBER q.
a FLEET FOOTED GENERAL.
HOW AN INDIAN BEAT GENERAL HARVEY
AND SAVED HIMSELF FLoGGING.
St. Louis Globe. Democrat.


General William s. Harney, of this city,
when q young man, had the reputation Of
being the swiftest runner in the army, a.
well as the best Indian fighter. He was
strict disciplinarian, but not one Of the
"stuck-up" SO common nowadays. He
would often mingle with his men, when not
on duty, and laugh and joke with them ON
terms of familiarity, and went so far at
times as to compete with them in the
exciting sport of foot racing. An impress
sion prevailed at one time that almost any
Indian could outrun white man; but
General Harvey believed that he could beat
any red rascal that wore moccasins, and
whenever he met q warrior who boasted of
his feetness of foot, he took great pleAeur0
in giving him q trial, and always came ont
ahead. Only once did he fail to reach the
Wnnng post n1s
at Fort Winnebago in the winter of 1899,
when Fox river was frozen over and tho
weather was very cold. An Indian had
committed some breach Of the rules Of tho
garrison, for which Harney, then captain,
concluded to administer o fogging. He
always believed in giving every man q fair
chance, white or red, and on this occasion
he conducted the Indian some distance up
the river, and giving him q hundred yards
the start, told him il he reached certain
point without being overtaken be would
escape the nogging. The race was on the
ice, which at some places was thinner than
at others, on account of the formation of
'air- holes" Both men wore moccasinss
and both were stripped and belted for the
race, Harney swinging q cowhide in his
hand, with which he confidently expected
to accelerate the movements of the Winnie
bago on overtaking him. At the word "go'
both started at full speed, the Indian doing
his best to save his hide, and the white
man anxious to preserve his reputation as
a runner. Harvey gained rapidly on the
warrior, and was getting ready to swing
his rawhide, when the cunning savage
made an oblique movement toward spot
where the ice was thin. Being of much
lighter weight than his pursuer, he passed
over the dangerous spot in safety, but as
soon as Harvey stepped upon the thin ice
it was shivered like glass, and down won't
the tall captain, sinking into the cold water
like sea lion. Being good swimmer, .
few strokes brought him to the edge of the
thick ice, and clambering upon it he made
his way to his quarters, spangled with
icicles, and as mad as buffalo bull. He
lost his cowhide in the water, but that was
o small matter, as the Indian never return
ed to the fort while the captain remained
there. Captain Harney's foot-race afforded
cold Twiggs" occasion for many joke,
and it was a long time before be heard the
last of it.

encd II it be true that the spirits of
the departed revisit their native land,
what would be the lamentations of the
illustrious dead to see the proud flag
of Tennessee trailing in the dust of re-
pudiation? Would you desecrate the
names of Andrew jackson, James K.
Polk and others, Of whom Tennessee
may well be proud? Methinks hear
every honest man and patriot saw,
NO, neverp At least not without
another effort at a compromise. One
wrong does not Justify another. Let
us not do that which will cause the
blush OF shame to mantle the brow OF
our children, True, taxes are burden
some, but let us face our troubles like
honest men, and if fall we must, have
. our faces in the right direction, proving
10 the world that we arc honest in our
intentions.

Street Cars Propelled by Compressed
Air

The Second Avenue Railroad, Of
New York city, has one of the Pneu-
matte ,Tramway Engine Company's
cars. Upon each platform IS a steel
lever, by means Of which the car can
be started, stopped, or its direction
reversed. The car is Of the same gen
eral model as that OF ordinary street
cars. 1t has six tubular air receivers
situated under the floor of the car.
The air is compressed by an engine
which IS standing ut the side of the
depot, and is introduced by rubber
hose into these receivers. That air
passes through an engine situated be-
tween the axles, and propels the car
Sufficient air to enable the car to
make the entire circuit Of Manhattan
Island, if necessary, can be stored
at one time in the receivers.
The experiments made have proved
completely satisfactory. The car late
ly ran from 81 to 95th street and back
in about twenty minutes, with two or
| three stoppagcs 1t IS claimed for the
car thus Inspected that it can be stop
ped more readily than the horse cars
and that its rate Of speed can be in
creased to thirty miles per hour, while
it can make nine miles per hour and
still not appear to go faster than the
/ horse car. The car which was run Is
only Il model, and it takes about four
hours to charge Its receivers with air,
but machinery has been ordered which
viii perform the work in less than q
minute
One Of these air engines can easily
draw a whole train of ordinary street
cars \ company composed of twenty,
five capitalists has been formed to
manufacture cars upon the above
model. 1t has already received an
order for Ave cars from the Second
Avenue Company. These will be
used on the upper part Of the Second
! Avenue route.

" see the long black serpents hanging
down. You have stung me to the
heart, but you shall never do it again.
l hear you hiss, hiss, hiss. Come

death" He wrestled with an imagi-

around with his boot heel, and then,
jumping high, brought both feet on It
with a tremendous thump, saying:

snake into it, and extending a bless

The people had become excited, and
while q great many, tired of standing,
quit the hall, all those who had seats
remained.
/ "Now, where are those certificates,
and that blue ribbon ?" said Mr.. Muir

1t was several minutes before these
could be found, and the reformer oc-
cupied the time by saying to the audi

should stand and sing, Hold the Fort. >
The blue ribbon and the pledges
were brought out, and Mr. Murphy
taking these in his hands, jumped
from the platform to the space in front
