of the venerated saint that at one time
he commanded his disciples to abstain
from drinks in the daytime until the
bell rang for repose in the evening.
Saint Patrick's day always brings
with it the memory of the shamrock,
the connection which it bears to the
anniversary of the patron saint is that
when he preached the doctrine OF the
Trinity to the Pagan Irish he used
this plant, bearing three leaves upon
one stem, as an illustration of the
great mystery.

THE Republican Standing Commit
tee of Cumberland county have almost
unanimously instructed their delegates
to the Chicago Convention to vote for
James g. Blaine for President 1t
don't look as though the State dele
gates would vote very solid for Grant,
and the alleged unit rule as it were
won't be very much of a unit unless
that unity be for Mr.. Blaine. As
Adams and York counties will prob
ably follow the example Of Cumber-
land, we may look for good Blaine
vote from the Keystone State dele
gates at CbKago-Er.

Saint Patrick.

Last Wednesday, 18th inst, was
what is known as "Saint Patrick IS
Day" being the birth day Of the Pa
tron Saint Of Ireland, and was again
duly celebrated in this country by the
sons of the Emerald Isle. The fol-
lowing is interesting as some Of his
LEGENDARY HISTORY.
There are various claims as to the
birthplace of Saint Patrick, but it is
generally conceded that the saint was
born in 372 and when he was only 16
years of age was carried off by pirates,
as history relates, and sold into sla-
very in ireland, where his master en-
ployed him as a swineberd on the
well-known mountain of Sleamish, in
the county of Antrim. The history
of bis subsequent career is filled with
interesting legendary anecdotes, es-
pecially of bow, in resisting the an
tagonism Of the Druidical priests, of
the more ancient faith, he cursed their
fertile lands so that they became dreary
bogs; their rivers so they produced no
fish, and their kettles so that with no
amount of fire they could be made to
boil, and finally the Druids themselves
so that the earth opened and swal-
lowed them all up. Another popular
legend relates that the saint and his
followers found themselves one cold
morning on a mountain without fire
to cook their breakfast or warm them
selves. Saint Patrick, however,
silenced their complaints by gathering
q quantity of snow, breathing upon it
and creating fire which served all
their purposes satisfactorily. The
greatest Of all the miracles of the great
saint, and probably the one with
which everybody is most familiar,
was the driving of the snakes and
venomous reptiles from off Irish soil
and rendering it ever after so obnoxi-
Gus to the serpent race that to touch
the ground of Erin is instant death.
As temperance sdvocate it is related

THERE is little doubt but that the
immigration from Ireland during the
present year will be greater than in
any twelvemonth since the famine of
'47-S sent the tide of Celtic immigration
with unexampled force across the At
lantic. Already the inpOur has begun,
an unusually large number of Irish i'm
migrants having landed at New York
during the last couple of weeks. Vari-
Gus organizations have been formed,
both in this country and across the At
lantic. to aid in this movement, and eff
forts are being made to settle many Of
the newcomers in agricultural pursuits.
Hitherto Irish immigrants to this
country have seldom engaged in agri-
culture here, although farming was the
business of most of them at home. As
rule they have reached our shores
with barely enough money to keep
them for few weeks, when necessity
forced them to take the first job that is
offered. and this has seldom been on a
farm. Moreover, besides lacking capi-
tai enough even to make a small start
in farming, they have been destitute
for the most part of the steady, per-
sistent industry needed to transform
the farm hand into the farmer. 1t is
proposed to settle various colonies OF
our expected visitors in different parts
of the West-we wish all success to
the experiment.

A NOTEWORTHY phase of the Blaine

A NOTEWORTHY phase of the Blaine
movement in northern Ohio is the or
ganization of a club at Cleveland with
a numerous and influential membership
and with a President in the person of
Mr.. Edwin Cowles, proprietor of the
Leader. Mr.. Cowles was a Grant en-
thusiast very few months ago, and
advocated the ex-President with much
vigor in his journal. Becoming con-
vinced that the masses of his party
favor Senator Blaine, and that many
German Republicans willoppose Grant,
while the Third Term idea seems to
place a damper on the Grant move
mcnt generally, he has decided that
party interests, which so affect the in
terests of the country, demand that the
ex-President be left out of the list of
candidates.

this feeling will die out, or pass away,
they are laboring under a deluslon.
The people are for Blaine now more
than ever. and it will not be well to
betray them. All matters in this dis
trict could have been set to rest before
this. We look to hear of something
definite soon

THE anti-machine Republicans OF
Lancaster county scored several big
victories on Tuesday at the County
Committee meeting. First the Commit
tee ordered the primaries to be held May
22nd: second that the voters choose
delegates to Chicago third, that the
voters NAV vote for President, and that
they shall be provided with list of the
Republican candidates for U. S. Sena-
tor, and have the right to vote on that
question also. Grows friends handed
in his name at once, and it is thought
he will certainly be the choice of the
eight Lancaster members to be chosen
this fall. Mr.. Heistand, the Grant
leader. wanted the resolution about
Senator to compel the Lancaster mem
bers to be bound by the Legislative
caucus, but Martin, the leaderof the eop-
position. denounced the caucus "as the
rock on which Lancaster county Re
publicans were shipwrecked every time.
The political managers had a long for
sight and set up the caucus away
ahead, They have money for the pur,
chaseable, promises for the fools and
threats for the towards. After secur-
ing Philadelphia and Allegheny they
can always buy up enough others to
capture the caucus, and then their fight
is won.n The resolution was then
amended to read that the members
elected should use all honorable means
to secure the election as Senator, the
choice of Lancaster county Republic
cans. This is taking the bull by the
horns most effectually, and is a prece
dent which the Republicans of Craw
ford might do well to follow.-Cro'o
