The kefics Of st. Ireneus.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The GLOBE has in some way been led into
mistake regarding the history of the mar
tyr whose relics were yesterday placed be-
meath the chapel altar at st. Joseph's AGA
denny Il was doing too much honor to St.
Paul to believe that We are in possession of
the relics OF the great Ireneus, who ruled the
church OF Lyons during portion of the
second century, whose writings have placed
him among the most learned doctors of early
Christianity. OF the Ireneus whose relics
are at st. Joseph's academy, nothing more is
known than that he is one of the many thou
sand soldiers of the cross who died for the
faith during the pagan prosecutions and
whose remains have been preserved n the
Roman catacombs. As far as the general
history of the catacomb would show in
which the relics of our Ireneus were foune!,
it is TO be supposed that he suffered about
the time of Diocletian in the early part of
the fourth century.
Tombs of martyrs in the catacombs had
always their special marks which distin-
guished them from the tombs of those Chris
tians who had not given their lives for the
faith, and the Roman court has invariably
shown the most scrupulous care that none
others but the undouoted remains of martyrs
would be exposed to the honor of the faith
full. The great motive of the church in be-
slowing reverence upon relics is to honor, of
course, the saints of God for their fidelity to
Him, ana then, to incite Christians of to-
day 10 initiate their virtues, and especially
that fortitude which led them to follow out
even to death the maxim of the Lord:
"What doth it profit man to gain the whole
world, should he suffer the loss of his soul.'

With the Wrong Man In tho Prisoners
Box.
Anthony Tower, residing at the corner of
Franklin and Eagle streets, is in fair way
to realize the full measure of a woman's
righteous wrath. He was arraigned at the
police court yesterday morning charged with
the gentle pastime of throwing a Ratchet at
neighbor woman named Mrs. Burns. In
addition to this it is alleged that he battered
down the fence of tie Burns mansion and
threatened the devoted family with impreca-
tions of fearful import. An amusing Incl
dent of the case TRANSFERRED after the exami-
nation had been commenced, brought
around by@nixing the parties up la Pima
fore.
Through ludicrous blunder the husband
of the complaining witness was taken for the
prisoner, and he was requested to seat him
self on the sweat box, arranged especially for
prisoners. He took the ignomineous posi-
ton, and the mistake was not discovered un-
til the first witness for the prosecution had
spoken when the court asked the supposed
prisoner if he had anything to say. The
mistake dawned on Mrs. Burns, and she
made haste to rescue her liege from his pre-
dicament.
General witnesses were examined for the
city, upon the conclusion of which, the pris-
oner asked a continuance until Monday,
which was granted. He was released in 800
hail

Smith, Morton, Waldron and Martin are
the scrobats of the torupe numbering in all
some twenty-five pefsons-as will be seen
by the street parade on tomorrow. The ca
pacity of the Opera house will be tested the
two nights they appear.-The Utica IN. W
Herald says:
Yesterday afternoon and evening the Big
Four Ministries played to large and respectable
audiences, and made everybody happy. The
Opera house was crowded with delighted ladies
ard gentlemen in the evening, and they laugh
ed until they were tired. There is no ques-
tionlng the facts that Smith, Waldron, Morton
and Martin have the very best original min
strel organic alton that has ever been put upon
the road There is not ''stick'' in the party
and they really give more fun than can be COM
fortab!y enjoyed in one night. Heywood's
soprano is unequaled in America. After hear
ing the rasping nasal falsetto attempts of other
imitators, it is treat to enjoy this voice. 1t
is unnecessary to make special mention where
everyone did so well. The Big Four have
enough material for two frst-class companies,
but all hope that they will return to Utica
again before they divide this organization.

THE French residents of New York have CON-
missioned NJ Leon Chotteau to request the
French government to send a regiment of 1n-
fantry, a battery of artillery and a band of
music to this country to aid in the celebration
of the hundredth anniversary of the battle OF
Yorktown on the 18th of October, 1SS1.-Bos-
ton Post.
We would like to know what grudge the
French residents of New York have against
this country. Our people have treated them
with uniform kindness and consideration,
and given them all the privileges of citizen
ship without remonstrance. That they
should requite this kindness by such mon
strous proposition as that indicated above
confirms our belief that the majority of man
kind cannot appreciate kindness.

4 Kn0ry Banking Episode.

In the wild cat days of 1857 John. j. Knox,
now comptroller Of the currency, and Henry
M. Knox, now public examiner of Minnesota
had bank in st. Paul. It was not, perhaps,
surprising that they should have gone to smash'
A good many good people met that fate in
1857, but there were some pecularities about
the Knox case.
A resident of the city at that time having
purchased load of country produce on
Bridge Square desired to settle with the farmer.
Stepping into Knox & Co.'s bank, which was
next door to Sweeney's present drug store, he
drew check on Thompson Bros bank where
his funds were deposited and asked the Knox
family to cash it. They did $50, giving him
some of their wild cat issue. Stepping out
upon the street he paid the farmer
and in q lettering way continued to stand
in front of the bank. While thus standing he
noticed that people passing were looking some
what intently at the bank building, and turn
ing about he found the doors locked. The
bank had literally burst behind his back. BE
Immediately fastened down the street to
Thompson Bros, only three squares distant, to
stop payment on the check drawn five minutes
before, and to his amazement he found the
cteck had already been collected.
The statement can be verified by the affidavit
of a responsible citizen if desired.
This was the closing act of the Knox family
banking, and it was probably this promptness
in attention TO business, which caused the crea-
ton of the office of Public Examiner, to enable
Henry NJ. Knox to ascertain how prompt and
accurate other people are.
And still the official record, Public Examiner
style, stands in this wise:
Knox & Co., bankers, st. Paul, 1857. Check &C.
copied of citizen five minutes before bursting
and collected before the maker could walk three
blocks to stop payment. Henry NJ. Knox, As
sistant U. S. Assessor 1867 to 1869. National
Bank Examiner 1870, 1871. Clerk in post Office

collection. AS Mr.. Knox and his newspaper
organ commend the county treasurer for his
conduct of the office, We suppose this
omission was correct. In any event if
Auditor Davis is to blame in the
matter, the blame lies in another direc-
ton. The law requires him to withhold tho
treasurer's salary until he furnishes such list
of delinquents, but with that "broad and
cheerful spirit of accommodation which
SO shocks MIR. Knox, Mr.. Davis allowed the
treasurer'to draw his salary with his usual
regularity. It must, we fear, be admitted
that the Auditor did not do his duty in fail
ing to enforce the non-payment provision of
the law, though Mr.. Knox does not censure
him for such dereliction.
As part of the game, the attorney general
of the State is called in to decide what fees
are legally due the officers of Ramsey coun-
ty under our special legislation. A State
officer summoned to decide local laws is a
new departure. His decisions are in direct
conflict with the county attorney and are en-
titled to much less respect A man recently
eloped from Minnesota to Colorado

popular official in the county.
