The Good St. Patrick.

In the Black lake, a beautiful sheet
of water, rather small in proportion,
not over a couple of miles or so in d.
ameter, and one ofthe cluster making
the lakes of Killarney, in Ireland, the
patron saint of that great country, st.
Patrick, is reputed to be buried.
There is a tradition hal his spirit
rises and hovers over the waters Of
that enchanted spot, and that it may
readily be seen at the midnight hour,
if there is no fog, snd visitors have
the nerve to stay out that late. The
story goes that it was on the borders Of
this lake that the great saint slaugh-
tered the very last Of the snakes, by
beating him to death with a black
thorn stick. Later, when the saint
departed this life, the coffin he lay in
was lowered to the bottom in the cen
ter of the lake, and the winds blowing
over, still sing soft and solemn re-
QUEENS to his memory. st. Patrick is
reported to have been a gentleman Of
the first renown. He had figured du-
ring the early days Of his career in
France, but ~emigratedto Ireland, and
converted hosts of the then half bar
barous inhabitants to christianity.
He is said to have figured somewhere
about the Fourth century, but much
regarding his history is mythical. 1t
is very certain, however, that he was a
very great and a very good man, and
that he was powerfully eloquent. The
people of Ireland and those of Irish
origin, of all creeds, 6ttingly revere bis
memory. This, the anniversary ofSt
Patrick, is the most joyous in the cal.
endar of the Irish people, a day of
merrymakiDg, religious exercises and
general festiviLy.

Mostly and Chiefly the Last

The Greenlaw opera house seems to
be an unlucky resort for travelling
players, and others as to that. Its
first lessee, Frank A. Tannehill,
fourteen years ago, lost his capital
there. Later, rare old Ben DeBar
sunk a dozen of thousands in it, and
DR.. Spalding, after a three weeks eff
fort there in 1868, went home to New
0rleans, nearly six thousand short,
though he had the gay, and then
fresh young actress, Alice Coates, as
one of his troupe. Several years back,
Mckee Rankin and his party had
their baggage attached and were
swamped while playing at the same
house. A few weeks ago the Taglia-
pietra opera troupe, with many finish.

with her Italian support, crowded the
auditorium to overlooking; Thomas,
with his famous Orchestra, had sew

the police have been on the look out

he beat his wife nearly to death, and
when Officer Wilson attempted to
arrest him wrested the pistol from the

to shoot Hooper before he could be
taken. Hooper was removed to the
hospital, and afterward managed to
escape. He is now lodged in Jail.
