ST. PATRrcK's DAY-True to tradition, st.
Patrick's day, Monday, the nth instant was
ushered in by clouds and rain. st. Patrick is
the patron saint of Ireland, and the day is cele-
brated by Irishmen the world over. St. Patrick
is not mythical character, but he had an actual
existence and accomplished great good in con-
vcrting the Irish people from paganism to Chris
tianity. The fame of St. Patrick rests on more
substantial foundation than the legend that he
banshed the snakes from Ireland. He is sup
posed to have been born in France in 373, and
died in Ireland in 493, at the age of 120 years. His
original name was Succath but Pope Celestine
game him the name of Patrcius. He was twice
taken captive to Ireland when boy, but cscap-
ed each time. He then resolved to become
missionary 10 the Irish. After long preparation
he was ordained bishop, and went to Ireland in
1872 He preached with such extraordinary effect
that before his death nearly The whole island was
converted TO Christianity. He baptized the
kings ofMunstcr and Dublin, and the seven sons
of the king Of Connaught.

a CITY RUINED.

Damascus has been ruined by the OPEN
ing of the Suez Canal. The overland
trade. both Oriental and European, by ca
ravan with Bagdad and Persian Gulf has
been diverted to the waterway. The
competition of India and China in silk
and sesame seed through the canal has
sensibly affected the value of these pro-
ducts; the late discovery of alazarine has
rendered valueless the cultivation of mad
der for export; and the diversion of large
numbers of Moslem pilgrims from all
parts of the East, who had hitherto made
Damascus their point of arrival and de-
parture, with much profit to the city, to
the sea route by the canal, has contributed
in no small degree to its downward pro-
gress. House rent has declined 80 and so
per cent, and large numbers of empty
houses in every part of the city indicate
the general decline. The streets are filled
with beggars, both Moslem and Christian,
and that too, in city where Is months
ago beggar was rarity. The more ele-
vated districts of Lebanon, which form
erly contributed the principal portion OF
mendicants during winter months, have
this year sent double the number to swell
the amount of local indigence. The far
famed eye of the East is now dull and
lustreiess.

Urime Among the clergy.

There are some newspapers which pub
pecial relish, says the Buff4lo Courier, all
accounts of crime or lapses from virtue
in which the sinners are clergymen. 1t is
comforting, perhaps, to some, to see that
ministers are human like themselves,
while others, doubtless, find a natural
hatred of Christianity gratified by the
disgrace of it's conspicuous representa-
tives and professional teachers. For both
these classes Western paper has Curl
ously catered by including in its annual
statistics list of the clergy of the coun-
try who have fallen from grace during u
months of 1873. This strange and sorry
compilation shows that of the 200 cler-
gymen and preachers of all denomina-
tions in the United States, 81 brought
public reproach on their calling last year.
Twenty-Five of these were convicted of
ofenses of various grades against women, j,
six of drunkenness, four of theft, two of
poisoning, two of fighting, two of larceny,
two of conspiracy, two of forgery, and
one each of murder, riotous conduct, de-
sertion, suicide, embezzlement and Illicit
distilling and slander. The list looks
quite formidable, and will pretty surely
go into certain well-known orators next
lecture as convincing proof of the spu-
robustness of the Christian religion. But
If 1t was complied with any such sinister
motive, it signally fails to accomplish its
purpose. The proportion of criininality
| treveals-about one In six hundreds
a remarkably small one. As compared
with what the like statistics of any other
profession or occupation would disclose
we might even say that it establishes the
vast moral superiority of clergymen as a
class. When it is remembered, moreover
that the ministerial profession is not sell
dom adopted by bad men solely on ac-
count of the exceptional good name it en-
joys, 1t must be admitted that the clergy
as whole are not unworthy of the higl
place accorded to them In the esteem Of
the community. Christianity has many
times outlived the worst injuries that false
professors of its doctrines could inflic
upon it, and its vitality is in no wise de-
pendent even on the efforts of Its true
supporters; but it is gratifying to know
that, judged even by such imperfect tests
as the morals of it's clergy, it is not seri
ously put to shame.

The Woman VINO Always is Falling
to Pieces.

She came to the station little late and
had to make rush for the train. When
she reached her seat her hat fell off. She
got it on, but it toppled over to one side,
and when she tried to straighten it up her
hair came tumbling down. She lost her
ticket twice before the conductor reached
her, and would have lost it again if he
hadn't taken it away from her. She
reached up to put her bundle in the rack
over her head, and burst the collar button
off her duster, and stuck her fingers on
four pins in.her dress before she found
one that she dared to take out to repair
the damage. Then just as she thought
shat she had got comfortably settled, her
little hand-valise, packed to bursting
with enough things to load Saratoga
trunk to the muzzle, exploded, and she
nearly worked herself into fragments
getting it together again. Then by the
time she got the valise shut up her hat
tumbled of again, and by the time she
got the hat Strengthened back to its place,
her hair tumbled down again, and, as
soon as she got her hair twisted up and
harpooned with a couple Of hair-pins, the
valise went OF, and when she got of at
New Prague she tucked the gasping va
lise under her arm, and tried to corral her

hand, and as she went dutterfhg and

more convenient to run her in sections

where she is going to give way next.
