The "CItizen" ON the Conviction
OfO'DOnnell,

CHICAGO, Dec. S.--The Citizen, whose
editor, John F. Finerty. is member Of
Congress, aided in originating the Par.
nell fund, and the large fund which was
used in defense of 0Donnell, contains a
leading editorial in the current issue on
the conviction of 0'Donn ell and declares
that, as result of the trial, the party of
violence will heneeiorth be supreme in
Irish politics. That paper declares that
O'Donnel's killing Of Carey was the
boldest avengement of history and most
honorable, and his conviction by tue
usual English hanging jury and the in.
evitable partisan English judge, has put
to fight and forever, in the Irish mind,
all hopes of even ordinary justice from
English hands and declaring that
it will never again raise cent to defend
any Irishman in British court Of law,
and never contribute or advocate the
contribution of any more money, unless
it be for the purpose of striking terror
into the demon heart of the overgrown
bastard that hesitates at no crime to
maintain iniquitous power and that
never fails to whine abjectly when forces
superior to her own are applied to make
her quail. "0'Donnell will no doubt be
hanged Dec. l7th. The Irish race failed
to save him, it must not fail to svenge
him." The editorial further declares
that England shows. no mercy and that
Ireland will no longer show any, and
that while England points to her ships
and her cannon, Ireland may point and
soon to the wreck Of the Parliament
building and the rains of st. Paul's, and
suggests that New Zealander may yet
be seen on London bridge trying to cross
it on planks.

"John L. Andrews IL dead. Yes, dead

sell until to-day. He died q week ago to-
day, and was buried last Sunday in Cypress
] Hills. A better fellow at heart never lived,
| but he made the mistake OF life. He was

was handsome fellow, tall, with
| q llOrid face, blue eyes. long,
chestnut hair, mOustache and whskers,

the mob! He was an ideal Virginian. He
would come galloping up on his horse
with sombrer0 on his head, spring of,
mount barrel or Il coal-box in front OF q
grocery store, and stir his hearers with his
/ imprisoned words. There was something
in the speeches OF Andrews that would
move men as nothing else would. He was
actually the leader OF the mob. He was ar

being hanged and was used pretty harshly.

ole was a lawyer, and when released
was restored to practice at the bar. He
always gloried in saying that he was no
murderer nor thief, but political prisoner.
His plea was that the rich had no right to
buy immunity. The movement 10 resist
the draft, he declared, was good at the
outset, but thieves got into it. I don't
think poor Andrews meant wrong. He
was II southerner, happy-go-lucky
fellow, OF no great culture. but, rs l said, a
natural orator, fond Of attitudes, and hon.

with grievance. His ambition was dlsap-
pointed; he fell into obscurity. and died
and was buried before those who knew
him were aware OF It."
he was described in the newspapers at
the time as having "done more, perhaps,
than any other man to fire the passions Of
the mob" He urged the mob to sack,
plumber, and burn every building known
to be occupied by United States officer,
and especially all premises where the en-
rolment or draft was going on. He urged
the mob TO burn Mayor George Opdyke's
house. He was arrested Thursday, July
10Th, and tina published accounts say
he was found under u bed In the
house No. IL Eleventh street, and begged
for mercy. $50 bitter was the feeling
against him." it was said, THAT II was

A FELINE wANDERRR IN THE WILDERNESS
LONG AND LONESOME YEAR.

A FELINE wANDERER IN THE WILDERNESS
ALONG AND LONESOME YEAR.
Washington stsr.l
DR.. &. A. White. OF the National Mu-
scum, told a cat story before the Biological
Society last night, or, TO employ the more
formal language Of scientific gatherings,
made verbal communication concerning
the perslstency Of the domestic instinct IN
the cat. IL was a narrative OF an expert
ence the Doctor had with cat while en-
gagged last summer with party
Of the United States Geological Sur
vey that made a trip on the Missouri
river In an open boat from Fort Benton to
Bismarck, distance OF 900 miles. More
than 500 miles OF this journey lay through
wilderness unblessed by a single post
Office or crossroads grocery. II was in
the midst OF this solitude that the party
found at one OF these camping-places q
cat-a common domestic cat-which made
Itself familiar with them almost from the
first. When the party prepared to leave
the place they put the cat ashore, but ii ran
along the beach, following the boat, new
Ing plantiyely, and asking. as plainly "a a
cat can ask, to be taken aboard. The
members OF the party could not re-
sist this appeal to their pity, and
turned the boat to the shore, where
upon the cat Immediately jumped
aboard. For the next hundred miles OF
the journey the cat was their companion.
The cat was christened Jerry, his sex and
the convenient breyity OF the name being
the two chief reasons for choosing that
name. The members OF the party became
very much attached to Jerry. They were
especially pleased with his neainess and
evident good breeding. His habits, DR..
White said, were those Of the most orderly
and well-behaved domestic cat. Jerry's
almost super-fellne intelligence won for
him great respect, and the party would
have brought him on TO Washington il they
could have easily provided for his trans
portation. Upon reaching Fort Peck they
found young man in charge OF store, who
was the only white person they met there.
DESTROYS OF providing a home for Jerry.
they prevailed upon this young man to
take charge of him. Much TO the surprise
Of all, when Jerry was brought forward 10
be introduced TO his new guardian the
young man recognized him as cat that
had belonged to him. Jerry had gone n
year before a hundred miles away with II
party OF butlao-hunters to the place where
Dr.. Whites party found him. Jerry
had been left there when the buffso-hunt-
ers returned to civilization. He had. 1t
appears, remained during the year in that
vicinity, hunting bis food alone. During
his long stay in that wild country. cut OIL
altogether from the society OF human
beings, be had lost none OF bis domestic
instincts. HIS pleasure upon meeting once
again with bipeds was manifest, and hc
eynced an astounding readiness to return
10 civilization and the haunts Of men.

The ChaIdean Genesis.

To the indications OF coincidence be-
tween the Babylonisn legends and the mar
rHtives OF GeneSis-a subject in relation 10
which the late George Smith acquired such
high fame by his researches an interest.
Ing addition has been made by Mr. Ernest
A. Bulge, Of Christ's College, Cambridge,
and OF the British Museum. AT the first
meeting OF the session OF the Society OF
Biblical Archaeology, held on Tuesday
evening, Mr.. Bulge read paper on the
conflict between the god Marduk, or
MeTodach, and the dragon Tlamat, a.
described on a large fragment OF a
tablet discovered by Mr. Rassam, and
brought TO this country about q year
ago. Tiamst, the personifcation Of dark
ness. chaos, disorder, and so OF the powers
Of evil, was described by Mr.. Bulge az the
prototype Of the serpent OF Genesis
Msrouk, chosen by the gods for the con-
fict. and armed with sword and bow, en-
cages in fierce fight with Tiamat, and
eventually dashes out the brains OF the
dragon, "A particular which at once calls to
recollection the brulslng OF the SER
pent's bead" as described in Genesis.
There Is, however, this noteworthy
difference between the Babylonlan and
the scriptural accounts: Tismat Is Il
sea-monster, the sea being regarded
apparently as great hostile power, and so
associated with darkness and evil. Tiamat

ON FRIDAY and Saturday OF last week
most OF the Bombay and Ahmedabad
trains carried special carriages for the ac'
commOdation OF Nicer Ghoolam BAHIA
KEan's guests, who came from far and
near in response to the invitations to be
present at the dinner given by him on Sat-
urday night In honor OF the triple mar
riages now being celebrated in his fami-
~. On Friday afternoon the presents
to be given by Nicer GhoOlam Bahia
to the brides were displayed at the pal
ace. The gifts included some hand
some suites OF furniture mounted in da-
mask. tables, cupbOards, and ordinary
articles Of household furniture innumera-
BILE. cooking utensils. and a variety Of
lighter and more ornamental articles, be-
sides handsome shigram and horse. BY
far the most interesting part Of the dis
play, however, was a visit to the room in
which the iewelry TO he presented was
laid out for inspection. The gold and
silver anklets and bangles were most mag
niflcent, and some Of the neck ornaments
must have been something over q
pound in weight Two Of these in par
ticular noticed. One was made Of strings
~
rously-shaped ornaments; the other was
similar In design, with the exception that
the centre VI every bead was covered with
pale-green enamel. The value Of these /
cannot venture 10 estimate. The greater
part OF the iewelry displayed was OF Surat
manufacture, most OF IL being OF native
design. A beautiful pair OF bracelets
were more according to English patterns.
One was composed Of rows Of small pearls,
separated at regular intervals by stars
and rlibies the other bracelet was OF the
same pattern, substituting, however, dia-
monds for the pearls. Comparatively few
rings were among the iewelry. A single
ear-ornament that i inquired the value Of
was estimated ut 800 rs. II was tri1e
that would not have been missed from
amongst the collection, SO what the aQgre-
gate value OF the ornaments may be il
is difficult TO Imagine. In the same
room there were some handsome sill
Yer and silver-gtlt tea services, Al-
yer codee-cups, sslvers, etc. After
seeing the lewelry and other presents. the
guests returned to the upper part Of the
palace, whence was witnessed a procession
Of coolies carrying on their heads the nup-
tial gifts. The procession was something

coolies employed must have been, | should
think, one thousand, and c0oly-hire ON

On the evening Of the 7th OF December
In the above-nsmed year, there was so
cial party at Farmer Barker's house, and
among the guests was young man from
this village. Miss Barker danced with him
twice in succession, and young Craig re-
proved her for such marked attention TO
another, and told her that he did not wish
her to dance again with the young man in
question. This aroused the spirit OF the
young lady, and she replied that she would
dance with him or any one else she chose and
as many times az she liked. Craig then in
formed her that she might do so, but that
she wouldn't see him again for twenty
years. To this she tauntingly replied that
she couldn't stay away from her twenty

went home, and the next day he was miss

unable to find any trace OF him. Miss
Barker vowed she never would go into or
receive company again until he returned.
As years passed by and no traces OF the
missing son were received, his parents
came to look upon him as dead. Miss
Barker, however, had a singular faith that
he would come back some day. She kept
