The Thirteen SnpcrstitiOn.

The superstition as TO thirteen at table
came very near spelling the dinner given
to Lawrence Barrett at Cincinnati the other
evening. The journal says sixteen gentle
men in all were invited, but at the appoint
ed time thirteen only were found ut the
board. Those OF n superStiti0us turn OF
mind OF course were greatly distressed, and
the rubicund face OF Manager Miles was the
first to lose color. Shortly each and every
one began TO iidget about neryously in his
seat, and to restore confidence General
Moves began the relation OF anecdotes cal
cuated to dlsproye the superstitions
about the fatal consequences Of thir-
teen at table. He had dined with thirteen
at table in France, and all were still alive.
He had discussed matters Of moment with
thirteen in council. and nothing mIScar-
ried, hut still the uneasy minds were not
roassured, and the fast course was disposed
OF with little or no relish. One counte.
nance only had been wreathed in smiles.
and that was the handsome phiZ OF Mr..
Robert Lehman. This gentleman seemed
hugging cheerful secret to himself from
the very first, and after having sufficiently
enjoyed the discontinue OF the others, he
announced that il q careful count be made
they would find fourteen instead OF thir-
teen present at the feast. And sure
enough away at one end OF the IT,
BILE waiter was discovered par
taking with the rest Of the good things
prepared. Mr.. Lehman explained that,
fearing for the peace OF mind OF some, he
had quietly instructed this man TO sit
through the first and second course with
the rest as soon us he found that thirteen
only were present. Strange to relate,
when the Dramatic Festival Association
entertained Miss Anderson at the Burnet
House a short time since the cards were
sent out for only thirteen, and Just IN hour
or so before assembling at the table Mana
ger Miles, making the discovery, got to-
gethcr two or three convenient friends to
supply the deficiency, or, rather, break the
charm

The movement among our Catholic fell
has broader significance than Is indicated
in the demand Of that element for larger
and more fitting place Of worS.Sp. Viewed
apart from Catholicism, 1t is an evidence
of Eichmond's progress and prosperity.
Every new building Of architectural im-
portance is an ornament to a city, in which
every citizen should take PRIDE, but
especially should this rule apply in ,he case
of church cdifices. They are neycr-iailing
concomitants of solid worth, speaking
volumes TO the visitor, and every public
spirited citizen is interested in the
erection of them, no matter what
may he his creed. The proposed cathe-
dral, AS Bishop KEANE has beautifully de-
scrihed il, will lie one of the most imposing
in the entire South, and it is not unreason-
able to suppose that our Catholic friends
can secure material assistance in raising
the necessary funds outside of their own
denomination. ii they do, the public gen.
orally, it il worthy OF remark, will be but
following the example Of their fathers to-
wards the old Catholic colony here, and ill.,
creaSing their vested right in the present
st. Peters. The meeting of Catholics at
Cathedral Hall tonight will very probably
settle the question whether or not the work
will be undertaken at an early date.

Sow for a Harvest of Song.

The depth OF the recent snow Is re-
markable occurrence for this latitude. II
Is a visitation which is not witnessed moro
than once In quarter OF century here
abouts. There are those who rejoice al
this great fall Of the "beautiful snow y
amid all the discomforts ii brings. Small
boys and girls may justly lay the first claim
to the supcrlative degree OF delectation
thercat. Youthful lovers, with hearts
beating time to the merry bells, may feel
greater thrill OF commingled sentiment and
| inspiration as they dash along in the gay
procession Of merry sleighers; yet they
give no such outward expression,
nor il all their Joy drawn from
that source which ELECTS the shouts
and furnishes the icy missiles for the
boys SNOWFALL battle. There are others OF
more mature age, who, with boyhood and
youth. go TO make up the many who draw
certain amount OF inspiration and plea
sure from season fraugbt with so much oil
discomfort and disease. AS is the case
with all passing shows, the great novelty
and wonder must be seen and enjoyed. No
matter what the inconvenience, no thought
of wet feet, aching limbs, inevitable and
aggravating colds, and perhaps worse ills
which flesh is heir to. the sight must be
seen-the wonder explored.
This is the bright side OF the picture
that is now before us, and it is well there
is always by contrast some bright side to
every view TO counterbalance the gloomy
aspect, else life might become unbeatable.
The sad phase of the present prospect
and it cannot be ignored-is the great
amount OF suffering amongst men, beasts,
and birds at such season. There is ne
cessarily much hardship with those who
have not the wherewith to provide against
the storm. Charitably-disposed people
and benevolent organizations must needs
redouble their energies, and as far as they
can. supply the wants of poor suffering hui
manity.
But the poor little birds-what is to be-
come of them ut such time? Arc they to
Dt tltSitCttu INV tlidt tuNJ NN'uhOt ouPl'Vit
themselves? They form bright and use
! full portion of animate nature. Through
all the year they maintain themselves,
carol forth their sweet notes to complete
the harmony of Gods creation. while in a
more material sense they furnish an i'm
portant item for mans subsistence. There
is every reason that they should be cared
for, and without appealing to them
through the practical argument OF the need
fol the protection of game, we call
upon farmers and people generally TO feed
the starving birds. These unfortunate lit
tie creatures in such 4 snow as this are
unable to reach the various supplies which
nature has provided for their subsistence,
and many Of them must perish. TO feed them
is IL tritling expense, and little or no labor.
The cattle will clear sufficient opening, and
here where the poor little things are found
flocking in great numbers, the thoughtful
and prorident farmer may SOW grain that
will not grow up, but will yield him in
time rich harvest OF spring song.

The Packer Murder Trial.

Alfred q. Packer, the San Juan ghoul.

binding storm coming on, they lost their
way and the food gave olIt. For days to-
gether they lived on rosebuds. The men
became desperate, and some were crazed.
While his companions were in this condi-
ton Packer deliberately butchercd the
whole party, and for several weeks lived
on flesh cut from their bodies. Yesterday,
in the course Of the trial, Packer made 2
statement calmly, and for two hours related
the experience OF the party from their set
ting out. closing with the most sickening
details OF the murder and subsequent
feasting on human flesh. claiming that the
killing was done in seli.defence.
The evidence shows that each member OF
the party except Packer possessed large
amount OF money, upon which the ghoul
has since been living. After nine years OF
wandering he was captured few weeks
ago near Fort Fettermn, Wyoming. The
evidence was circumstantial. The jury
this morning returned verdict OF guilty.
A motion will be made fora new trial on
the ground that the murders were COM
mitted on IN Indian reservation, and that
this court has, therefore, no jurisdiction.

SPRINGFIELD. Ill, April 13.-Thc silla-
ton ut the rollng-mill is becoming very

non-union men quite rapidly OF late, and
members OF the Amalgamatcd Association
