fsouDE, probably the most Liberal
and proscriptive brute that ever wrote
history, a short time ago said that it
would give him pleasure to see the Irish
race blotted off the face of the earth.
This charitable aspiration is not in a
very fair way OF being realized.
There is much room for doubt, indeed,
as to whether the United State is, as Ger.

Of the subject he will find that fully
twenty Of the fifty.two millions of peo.

has been to convert the better parts oi

the process goes on at the same ratio fol

THE MANSFIELD TRAGEDY.

connection with the killing of the
Rev. j. Lane Borden, at Mansfield
last Saturday, was furnished the
Stste Central Express yesterday, and
through the courtesy of the Editor
Of that paper we are permitted 10
give it to our readers. We may state
that Miss Buffers statement Will
present The whole matter in a very
different light from that as reported
in the various dispatches that have
already been published. Her state
meut concerning the alleged comics
sion made to Jenkins on the train
and which resulted in the tragedy of
last Saturday is as follows:
COMPROMISE PLANTATION,(
June 18th, 1888.
I hereby deny having made at any
time a confession to Mr.. Ben F. Jen-
kins, Jr., to the effect that Mr.. Borden
had in manner i'll treated me, only SC
far as shall be explained below. When
asked by Mr.. Jenkins if Mr.. Border
had treated me badly told him, yes.
He then asked in what way. I tolG
him l can't tell, but you can think any
way you wish. The only indignity
ever offered by Mr.. Borden to me, wa'
in the library about ten days ago wher
l was there for some books, when h'
approached me and attempted to pu
his hands upon me, and l immediatel!
left the room and was never in his pre-
sence alone again during the remain
der of my stay at Mansfield. Thi
treatment of Mr.. Borden's to me wa
never mentioned to any one but m,
mother. (Signed) MARY BUTLER.
