's. Patrick and Has Pedigree.

What have become of the historians,
biographers and philoiogists? Here is ST.
Patrick right ut our doors again, so to
speak, and not q single pundit has wei
coined him with a new set OF probabilities
upon his birthplace or nationality. Things
ore not as they should be. 1t is perfectly
in keeping with the character Of saints that
the pictures of these good men should be
cnshroudcd in clouds, which, to vulgar
eyes, are more significant OF elevation than
is the blue sky beyond but clouds of doubt
and uncertainty are neither artistic nor
satisfactory, and all the suggestions here
toioro made as to st. Patiicks nationality
are of the most cloudy, Opaque and un-
stable nature. 1t has been claimed that he
was Scotchmau, but how could this be,
when the poetic muse informs us that
His mother kept shebccn shop
In the town of Inniskilcn.
The whole argument is probably based,
in the diaphanous manner peculiar to
Scotch logic, upon the supposition that the
lady proprietor Of the house of refresh
ment alluded to compounded occasionally
the beverage known us hot Scotch. This
method of reasoning by analogy may do in
pathological discussions, but history will
have none OF it. Equally ridiculous is the
assertion that no was born at Tours, in
France, for the veracious ode to which we
have already alluded informs us that

"IIis Shirt Still On"

A few days ago Captain Williams chose to
take the law into his own hands and to club
and kick peaceable citizen who was
pointed out to him as having been guilty of
the grave offence OF Kissing the bumptious
officer as lie paradod through Gilmore's
Garden. We are informed that since that
exhibition OF ungovernable temper he has
committed other acts equally uncalled for
and unjustifabie, showing, as his men
wearing of the article of apparel that is
regarded in the Twenty ninth precinct as
the barometer Of the Captains brutality.
Ii the citizen assaulted at Gilmore's last
Tuesday will make charges before the Po-
lice Board he is tolerably certain of being
sustained by witnesses whose number and
character will not permit their evidence to
be ignored. The aflidavits of two citizens,
which we publish elsewhere, show how he
regards his duty in reference to gambling
houses.
1t is difficult to account for the influence
which Captain Williams possesses at Head
quarters or tor the terrorism he is enabled
to exercise over his associates and subordi-
mates. There is nothing in his record as
an officer that entities him to the favor of
tho Commissioners. He is in command of
precinct crowded with disorderly houses,
gambling dens and other resorts Of vice and
crime. It was said that he was put there
to break up such places, but he has done
nothing of the, kind. Some insignificant
proprietors have been driven out and oc-
casional raids have been made but every
vice that existed in the precinct when Will
innis was made its captain fourishes there
to-day and seems to enjoy q happy con-
sciousness that, for some hidden reason, it
will not be interfered with. What does
this mean? Are We to seek in this
direction for the secret of the in
fuence this Captain evidently exercises
over some Of the Commissioners? Has
he in his possession any estate secrets"
that compel his super.ors to keep on good
terms with him, or are the Police Com
missioners afraid of personal violence if
they should offend SO stalwart and merciless
Hercules? If none OF these obstacles are
in the way the Board should certainly re-
licve the force of an officer whose brutal in
stincts and ungovernable temper-when he
.'has his shirt of" render him unfit to be
placed in u position where he can display
these qualities on unoffendinC citizens.

A convict in the Wisconsin State
prison refused to go to his cell
when ordered by the Warden to do
80. The Warden held a watch in
one hand and pistol in the other,
and said: II will give you three
minutes to obey, and if you don't !
shall shoot you" The convict
doggedly folded his arms and stood
still. Minute after minute passed
the Warden counting them aloud
This was in the workshop, and al
the prisoners were spectators of the
scene. When the three minutes
had expired, the Warden took
deliberate aim at the convict's heart
and said "I'll give you two min
utes more, and swear I'll kill you
then il you don't go to your cell
A defiant curse was the only reply
At the end Of the extra two min
utes the pistol was fired, and the
convict fell dead. The officer is
sustained by the higher prison
authorities, who say that his course
was perfectly proper under tho
circumstances; but the Distric,
Attorney of the county will try him
under an indictment for murder. -

this would be the case, and urged
the state to buy up all wolves on
hand at the time the legislature
repealed the bounty law. But our
advice was UNDECIDED, and of course
the owners of the wolves turned
them adrift to shift for themselves.
1t was preposterous to suppose the
wolf breeders would feed and take
care of the wolves after the bounty
was withdrawn.
