Mrs. Catharlne McCIOskey.

The funeral OF Mrs. Catharlne Nc
Closk.y, in the 7s,h year OF her age
yestsrday,in the old Catholic Cemetery,
brings out several thoughts about the
Met Closkey family which show that she
was highly honored woman. She WAS
DO Il in the county Derry, in the north
of ireland, and having lost her husband
she with her children, one of whom Vas
bat six months Old, emgrated to this
country in ls42, landing at Castle Gar
den New York, and from thence coming
on through to Wilmington whore JAMES
McCloskey, one Of her sons who had
y rsceded her, was then living.
With her ttmlly Of nino beys, she
then permanently settled in Whining
ton, where tue ia nily have ever since
resided. Of her nine sons, seven are
Ii ing and all doing well. 1t is but
seldom that more genuine love and
respect existed between a mother and
her sons, than was shown in the Nc
Closkey family.
Charles is the well known contractor
aud builder in company with William
McMenamin, Francis is also a contrac-
tor and builder, John and Peter are
we'll known brick-iayers, Joseph Is .m-
ployed in Gregg & Bowe's coach shops,
David keeps hat store at Ala Market
street, and Richard is 4 member Of the
Pennsylvania Legislature from the
Third Legislative District Of Philadel-
phia, and was one OF the three members
from that city who voted against the
Pittsburg riot bill.
James who was in Wilmington when
the family arrived in this city from
Ireland, enig,ated west during the Cal
i:ornia gold fever, and was naver heard
from since but is supposed to be deHd.
Michel another son was killed in the
Mexican war. Francis was a captain in
the Fourth Delaware Regiment in the
late civil war, and in 1877 was Street
Commissioner.
Charles served for some time in the
City Council. The seven sons were all
p-sent at the funeral, and all Their
childr.n's children were also present, a
circumstance which does not often oc
cur. Mrs. McCloskey never had a
daughter, has always resided in he'
, own home, and all her interests were
ceutered in her children.

Yellow Fever.

The United States steamship Ply
mouth which left Boston on the 18th
of March for the West Indies, has re-
turned to Vineyard Sound, with yell
low fever on board. Two cases OF the
fever occurred when the vessel was
about three hundred miles southwest
of tine Bermudas. The Plymouth ar
rived at Boston last fall, from the West
Indies, with yellow fever on board
was frozen out and fumigated and re-
mained North all winter. AS she did
not call at any port after leaving Bos-
ton on the 18th ult., it is evident that
the germs of yellow fever still existed
in her hold.

The novel sight was presented in
the Texas Legislature week or two
ago Of a member of that body speaking
in Spanish in advocacy Of a bill mak-
ing tae payment of poll tax . prerrqui-
site to voting. His areum-nt, which
most Of the body understood although
uttered in foreign tongue, was that at
the las. election over one thousand
Mexicans had crossed over and voted
in Texas. The Spanish must have
been persuasive, as the bill has passed
the lower House.

Lately while a travelling mrnage

Thuringia, the leopard tore the bars

He killed woman and a child, and
the sight of blood excited him to such a

his prey until beaten to death. Exam

How 10 Treat Vile Men.


man whs to crafty his sensual
desires dsspoils an innocent woman,
and robs her Of her happiness and her
character, is not fit for any society, ex-
ce pting that of fends. He calls, per-
haps, upon young lady, to whom he
pretends to bs a "friend," perhaps
even . lover, and despite of her shrink
ing modesty, her virtue, her entrsaties,
threats, cries and tears. he commits
against her a crime, which in guilt, is
not second even to murder! Imprson-
ment for life is a slight punishment for
such a criminal. He is not 4 man.
He tranples upon all that is sacred in
that most sacred thing Of earth, woman
ly purity, and for the time, he has nc
attribute of a true manhood in him
He is as bad as the devil himself, fol
the devil, under the same ciroumstan'
crs, could not do worse. And yet such
Monster is admitted, without repent
anss, into respectable society anc
oftentimes received 10 the homes an,
com Panionship Of innocent and inex
perienced young women. Shame un
less he repents in sacksloth and ashes
he should be forever an outcast.
A respectable woman said in my
hearing lately:-"I never shake handl
with man whom ! know to have be-
trayed innocence" And she smpha
: sized it saying: "Ns, shall never sx
tend my hand to suoh \ man knowing
him to be such; will not recognize
him; still, if he sincerely rspsnts max
ing confession, amendment, aud, as
far as possible, restitution, will trea
him kindly, just as | will kindly trea
the erring woman whs rspents."
: If all virtuous women would bravel
maintain this stand the number of vii
men would soon be diminished. A
the old villains die of there would b
fewer young ones to take their places

in which undertaking he was materially y

The firm consists of John 2. Wells

associated with D. II. Kent & Co., bu
about six months ago started business
on his own hook.
Since the sheriti's levy other claims

THE New York Produce Exchange is
wrestling with the problem as to whether
it is best to maintain the present complex
system of grain and produce measure
ments in theoretical bushels varying in
the different commodities, as for instance,
wheat 60 pounds, corn 56, oats 80 or 33,
as the case may be; potatoes GO, and so
on through the list, Or to adopt the sim
pier French method of reckoning all
these by hundreds, or what is called the
Genital system. A vote was taken few
days since by the members of that body,
and the party supporting the hundred
system were victorious by majority of
something like dozen votes only. That
system was adopted by that body, it
seems, some time ago, and has been bit
terly combatted and opposed by those
members in favor of retaining the bushel
measurement ever since. In the vote
of last week it appears that the two fac
tions are about equally divided, although
the Genital party have again carried their
measure by slender majority.
