CASTLE THUNDER BURNED DOWN.

The burning down of the notorious mill
itary prison, popularly known as Castle
Thunder, in Richmond, Va, the other day,
removes another of the monuments of the
civil war. 1t stood but little distance from
Libby prison, and like it, was originally a
tobacco factory. A number of the Union
officers were confined there on special charg-
es, as were several of the war correspondents
of the New York newspapers, who were
held, so the rebels absurdly put it, as hos
tages for the good conduct of the government
1t was used, however, for the confinement of
southern citizens who had been suspected of
the crime of Unionism, and of rebel officers
who had been accused of violating military
laws. Two or three Union men were hang.
ed as spies in the Enclosure of the prison ,and
many thrilling scenes of daring and escape
were enacted there during the eventfnl four
years of the bloody struggle. The prisoners
were often brutally and cruelty treated, es-
pecially by Captain Alexander, of Balti-
more, for some time keeper of the horrid
den Castle Thunder has strange and r0-
mantle, as well as horrible history, which
has never been hall written, and which is
not likely to be. The old smoke-bcgrimmed
walls, still standing, have witnessed great
suffering and the slow agony of many poor

FOUR MILLIONS IN DEBT.
CONDITION OF THE CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF
CINCINNATI.

Bishop Chatard, of the Vincennes diocese
has made an important statement giving his
views regarding the immense debt now rest
ing upon the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
He says that according to the most careful
estimates the debt amounts to over 81 ,000,-
600, and he has become convinced from con-
versations with practical business men, and
one especially who is himself millionaire,
that the collection and payment of such a
vast sum is altogether an impossibility, as it
is two-thirds as much as the total contribu-
tions received in any one year by the church
for religious purposes. His opinion is that
the utmost the Catholic people can be ex-
pected to do is to contribute a sufficient sum
to buy the church property in the diocese
which has become involved and will other
wise be lost to the church, To do this about
$450,O00 wi be needed, and he suggests
that there should be distinct understand
ing that all money contributed by the dio
cese outside of Cincinnati should be placed
in the hands of trustees and devoted to that
object alone, and that the legal obligation
to pay all the remainder of the debt incurred
by Edward Purcell, brother of the archbish-
op, should be wiped out by bankruptcy or
liquidation proceedings. He explains that
he does not propose this plan with any 9TH
er idea than to settle this unfortunate bust.
ness in the best interest of the church and
all concerned and says that when there is
no longer anv fear of harassing legal pro-
ccedings, and the whole matter assumes a
busness-like shape, further on, efforts might
be made with greater prospects of success to
raise money for the relief of the unfortunate
depositors. At present, however, the mon.
ey raised is not likely to be used to good ad
ntage. There is no preparation made to
save the church property, and scarcely any
relief is being afforded to the immediate suf-
ferers. The bishop suggests that Archbish-
op McCloskey, Bishop Williams and Vicar
General Quinn be made trustees and author
lied to have charge of the funds contributed
by parties outside the diocese, and says tina,
the archbishop and the vicar general are
both in sympathy with the views he express
es, believing that such plan is the only safe
way out of the difficulty.

SuNfLON ERS AND MALARIA.

We have always advocated the raising of
sunhowers, both on account of the value of
the seed for poultry and stock and for their
old fashioned gsudybloom. The Prairie
Farmer has found a new use for this homely
plant that is rapidly passing out of cultiva-
ton. The sunhower is not considered a
delicate flower, yet it cannot be called home
ly-if looked at far enough of. 1t is Gu
rious plant also and evidently adapted by
nature for a particular purpose. 1t constan-
tly turns its immense flower head to the sun
and its hairy leaves draw strongly of the
moisture of the earth. 1t is undoubtedly a
great absorber of malaria and purifier of the
atmosphere fully as much so, we think,
area for area, as the much Wanted eucalyp-
tus, and therefore worthy to be planted in
all malarious districts. The seed is vslua-
BILE as food for fowls in winter and also for
the oil they yield. Thus it may prove q
paying crop. We do not advise planting
sunflowers in the flower garden or on the
lawn but planted between stagnant marsh
es and the house, its value is not merely
theoretical. Planted about the house in dis
tricts subject to fever and ague-and al
newly settled countries are more or less So
it may prevent the recurrence of this disease
At ali events they can do no harm, and may
do good, and their bright, golden heads arr

A LAWYERS BIG FEE.

During the first year of the war, Captain
Pellatier, Frenchman by birth, but nat
uralized American, was sailing with his
merchant vessel in Haytian waters, when he
was seized upon by a war vessel of that
country. His vessel and property were con-
fiscated, and he and his crew condemned to
death on charge of piracy, notwithstand-
ing they clearly proved tn l. innocence. All
the crew except him were executed why he
was not also he never knew. He was kept
a prisoner for two years in a very unhealthy
prison, during which his health was perma-
nently ruined Finally, he escaped to the
United States. He presented his case to
the authorities at Washington, but owing To
the excitement and press of other business
during the war, his case was neglected by
the authorities, and continued so until four
years ago. At that time Judge Cason was
serving his second term in Congress, and al
the suggestion of General Ben Butler, Cap
tain Pellatier employed him to press the
claim. Judge Cason advanced money tc
prosecute the case, both at Washington and
in Hayti, and for Captain Pellatier to live
on, who by this time was in strained circum
stances. Finally, he got the United State
authorities to recognize the claim as just
and through the United States Minister a
Hayti present it to that government. Blu
hare was a further delay, as that governmen
disputed the claim, the government havin
been changed by revolution since the out
rage. AT last the United States, throug
her Minister, demanded settlement at one
and the Haytians went to work in earnest
examine into the claim. Last week Judg
Cason received letter from Mr. Langstor
United States Minister to Hayti, that this
government had agreed to settle the deman
of Captsin Pellatier at 100000, payabl
5000, 900 in three, six and twelve months

TREATMENT OF A WORN OUT MEADOW

Meadows that have been run down, be-
come sod bound or covered with moss sor
rel, or other weeds, may be renovated with
ont blowing. The old sod needs to be dis
turbed, but thorough narrowing or a chop
ping of the surface with disk harrow will
disturb it sufficiently without blowing. Fresh
seed is needed, and dressing of lime may
in many cases be all that is required in the
way of fertilizer. IF it can be efforded, a
moderate quantity of fine manure used as a
top.dressng, and narrowed in just before
sowing, will be Of great benefit. The work
may be done at any time before September,
so that the grass and clover, the latter more
particularly, should be we'll set before Sc
we're frosts occur Orchard-grass will thrive
upon soils that are not rich enough for Tim
othy but it is better to have the ground
good enough for the latter even if the former
is to be sown. Grass is crop for which the
soil cannot be too rich, for If the growth is
excessive it can be cut at any time and made
into hay or fed green.

A SAVAGE QUEENS DEVOTION.

The palace of a native queen of the Mar
quesas group of islands in the Pacific has
lately been visited by correspondent, who
writes of the place: Altogether it is Il
charming retreat. Sauntering up the street
the qeeen's house was pointed out to me, and
l concluded to call on her majesty. The
house is built of sawed timber, and is large
and airy, set upon the usual paipai, an ele-
waited piece of stonework, about three feet
high, and solid as stone can make it, with
rough hewn stone steps leading to the door
way. The queen was not in, but | was in
formed that she could be found at the kings
grave which was pointed out to me, situated
on knoll with stone steps leading up to the
top, to the left of the house and almost be-
side it, as it were. Ascending the steps |
found her majesty seated by grave or tomb,
experimenting some workmen who were
building tomb of masonry. The queen was
gracious and good looking, having remnants
of beauty in her person, and seemed to have
been very pretty in her younger days. She
has a grave, benevolent expression of coun-
tenance, and her demeanor bespeaks her
rank. The king he's been dead about
twelve years. and ever since his death
she has kept watch over his grave;
the most of the time she herself keeps her
silent vigil over the resting place of her
love. A light is always kept burning beside
the tomb, never allowed to 60 out under any

She was the second wife of the king. What

has remained true to her dead love during
her life, refusing to be comforted by another
