The Irish citizens of Watertown and
vicinity, not oblivious of the great struggle
going on in Ireland at the present time
in the effort that is being made to change
the landed system of that country, which
is such shame and blot upon the clvlllz-
alton of the world, have organized land

The Choir Boys Entertainments
Some of the pleasantest recollections of
the Christmas season just passed will
cluster around the entertainment given
to the choir boys ofSt. Paul's church last
Saturday evening at the residence of Z.
V. Brown. The performers were greeted
with good house, the auditorium al
lotted to the occasion being entirely fill
ed The entertainment opened with sew
eral beautiful tableaux, among them
Abraham's Sacrifice, showing Abraham
in the act of taking the life of his son for
sacrifcial purposes in response to the
command from God, and another enti-
tied the Old, old Story. Then came a
comedy designated as the Heroes Opium
Vile and more rollicksome, ludicrous,
frollieksome, side-splitting comicality
could not well be imagined. It's appoint
ments, imagery and phases kept the au-
dience in continual roar Of laughter and
we question if anything performed on q
Watertown stage ever produced more
real, downright enjoyment and fun. The
author of this piece, and indeed the in
stigator and general manager of the Gu
tertainment, is Fred I. Mayer and to his
ability and untiring efforts is the success
of the performance mainly attributable.
We hope Mr.. Mayer with his able corps
of assistants will repeat the entertainment
before long.

The Story OF a Life.-FErOns an
Elegant Home to the Ranks
of an opera Chorus.

Under the above caption the Syracuse,
New York, Standard, of recent date,
revamps sad drama Of life, sthe charac-
ter mentioned in it being native of this
city and we'll known to many of our peo-
pie. The tale of woe related below, will
be read with interest mingled with some
degree of sorrow by large number of our
readers. A few discrepancies appear
in the story but in the main it is cor
rect:
There was not much beauty or modestv
to spare among the eighteen or twenty
young women who composed the chorus
of the company which presented "The
Mascot" at the Grand on Friday and
Saturday, but no individual member of
this bevy of girls laid claim to these quail
tiles to a more considerable extent than
the one whose position in the dazzling
phalanx counted four from the right hand
side of the stage. She was one of the
trimmest little bodies in the row, 10 eyes
being brighter, no cheeks fuller. She
seemed to sing, too, with spirit, and to
act with conscientious regard for the cir
cumstance. This young person has sad
story to tell. Her little life, for she is
not now far beyond twenty, has been dis
torted by the cruel caprices of false Loves
Her name ia Hassenfeldt. She was five
years ago pupil in a fashionable board
ing school in Auburn, whittier she was
sent from her home in a Western State.
Her parents were reputed to belong to
the aristocracy and her surroundings
were those of a child of wealth. None of
the young ladies seemed fuller of happi-
ness or better able to enjoy the gifts
which means could command. While at
school Miss Hassenfeldt was led into a
clandestine courtship with young man
named Fitch, whose family occupied a
good position in Auburn. So attached
were the young people that they were
secretly married. When this discovery
was made the parents of the young man
set their foot down and vowed that the
affair must end at once. To bring about
separation they assailed the girls good
name and by dint of persistent efforts
they placed her in an unfavorable light
in public opinion. The scandal found its
way into the local courts, but the upshot
was the disgrace of the girl. 1t was gen
orally believed that she was more sinned
against than SHINING. Her departure
from Auburn was very quiet and nothing
was heard of her until lately, when it
was learned that she had been cast
on her own resources by the financial
embarrassment of her parents. She now
turns up in the chorus of an opera COM
pany, a vocation which entails life not
without it's terrible temptations and al
most wanting in all things which become
true woman Miss Hessenfeldt knowing
that she would be recognized in Auburn,
when the company appeared thereson
Thursday asked TO be excused from duty.
The request was granted, the manager
readily approaching the natural disinclin-
alton of the young woman to parade her
later misfortune in the eyes of many old
friends who had known her only in her
better days.

Ridiculous Fears

One of the most curious things in the
newspaper literature of the present day
is the fierce opposition shown by certain
English journals to the French PROPOSE
ton to construct railway tunnel undel
the English channel from Calais TO
Dover. Labored articles, columns IN
length, are published every week against
the project, which the innocent reader is
asked to believe to be one of the most
wicked snd dangerous that was ever con-
ceived. The measure is opposed not,
as might be supposed, because it is re-
garded impracticable, useless, or too
costly. but solely on the ground Of pub
lie safety. Itis seriously and elaborately
argued thatthe tunnel once opened would
increase the chances of ahostile invasion
of English soil by France, Anyone but
but a thick-headed Briton would wantno
better trap for an invading foe than to
get him in an underwater tunnel some
twenty miles in lengtha with a o little
corps of sappers and miners at one end
of it. The predicament in which Pharaoh
and his hosts found themselves was moth
ing compared to the fix in which the in
vaders could be placed in consequence.
Yet Johnny Bull persistently refuses to
take this view of the case, and stubbornly
insists that the work shall not be done,
for the reason stated above, no matter
how much benefit it might be before
war occurs between the two countries.

Still Obstreperous.

The obstreperous State of South Caro-
lima still struggles for Independence
from the control of the General Govern
ment. Half century ago she under
took to forcibly nullify the laws of the
United States relating to duties upon
imported goods; some years later she
led the way in a general rebellion
against the Government with view to
the establishment of a separate confed-
eracy, and now she is attempting prac-
tically to nullify the election laws. She
looks upon the Federal officers who are
empowered by law to supervise the
registry of voters and to suppress frauds
and intimidation at the polls and places
of registration as an insult to a free
people. What makes the presence of
these officers so very unwelcome is that
the amendments of the United States
Constitution have placed the ballot in
the hands of class of persons who be-
fore the adoption of these amendments
had no voice in the Government, but
yet who constituted majority of the
population of the State of a voting age.
To bulldoze and swindle this class of
persons out of their votes, has been the
effort of the Bourbon Democracy to
greater or less extent in nearly all the
Southern States, and South Carolina has
led off as usual in this matter. The latest
invention in this direction is for the
State authorities to throw distractions in
the way of the registration of the colored
voters. Colored men are forcibly exclud-
cd from the places of registration, and
they attempt at the same time to exclude
the Government officers from interfer-
ence in or supervision over these Illegal
proceedings. The matter has come to
such pass that Attorney General Brews-
ter has been obliged to instruct theUnited
States Marshal for South Carolina, re-
minding him of the provisions of existing
statutes, and that it is the duty of himself
and of his deputies to support and pro-
tect the United States Supervisors of
Elections in the discharge of their Off
cial. functions. This order was made
necessary because the State Supervisor
had taken it upon himself to eject Depu-
ty Marshals from election precincts, and
had hindered eolored men from regis
tering their names. The local officers,
while processing to look upon the su-
peryision of the Federal officers as a
system of espionage, only desire the abb
sence of these officers that they may
perpetrate their outrages and carry out
their methods of excluding the colored
voters without restraint. 1t is grand
provision. that the House of Representa-
tives is the sole Judge of the election
and qualification of its members, and so
long as the South Carolina political man.
ayers persist in debauching the elective
| franchise, so long must the House per-
sist in revising their methods and un-
seating the men who have fraudulent
title only to their places Riscosssia
