GENERAL G. w. Gordon, one of the

New Orleans, where he went to confer
with the officials of the New Orleans,

in regard to rates on fruit. 1t seems
that certain fruit growers in West
Tennessee who formerly shipped
largely to Chicago, complain of the
want of facilities and high rates,
General Gordon asked the railroad
people plainly whether they intended
to destroy the production, and they
answered promptly that this was not
their intention, but that they would
do all in their power to give
satisfaction. General Gordon came

Humanity's tendency to look as fa'
as possible for information that is
close at hand is displaced by nothing
more distinctly than the endeavors tc
trace glorious old st. Patrick to his
birthplace. 70 call the Saint an
1rishman is in the extreme of al surdi'
ty, for he never set other lrishmen by
the ears or compelled the green isle
to be permanent camp. It is non
sensical to urge that he was aScotch-
man, for what Scot ever did anything
in Ireland but make money and find
tault with the natives ? Nor could
he have been a Roman, for he did not
exact tribute or put on airs. All
evidence supports the theory that St.
Patrick was an Englishman. England
was the country nearest Ireland, SO
from where would man be more
likely to come ? 1t is true that St.
Patrick understood the Irish nature,
which no Englishman of the present
day does; but the Saints mind had
not been muddled by thousands of
contradictory essays, speeches and
policies. He wished all Ireland might
be of his own religion, which is essen
TALLY an English desire. He earnest
ly prayed that Ireland might be and
remain peaceable, which has been the
universal wish of Englishmen for
centuries, and never more 50 than to-
day. He believed in Ireland for the
Irish, which is the sentiment of all
other Englishmen who are honest as
we'll as sensible. 1t is not impossible
even that St. Patrick was all English
landlord, for what other class of men
ever devised comprehensive schemes
forridding Ireland of vermin? 1t may
not be pleasant for lrishmen of the
present day to think Of their patron
saint as a member of the race that has
oppressed them, but as lreland's relief,
whenever it appears, must come from
Englishmen there may be "A little
encouragement in imagining that the
greatest of the Irish saints came of
the stock upon which Irishmen must
depend for whatever justice they are
to get.-N Y. Uerald.
