A Crusade for the Right.

It is more than probably that the
Catholic Church of the United States
will ere long inaugurate special cru
sade against intemperan &C.. At the
last Plenary Council of America held
IN Baltimore one year ago and attend
ed by thirteen archbishops and sixty
five bishops, there was adopted a
series of DEGREES and rules of which the
following was by far the most note
worthy in respect of the general inter
est which it aroused among Catholics
Throughout the country:
There is one way Of profaning the
Lords Day which is so prolific of evil
results that we consider it our duty to
utter against it a special condemnation.
This is the practice of selling
beer or other liquors on Sunday, or
of frequeHting places where they are
sold. This practice tends more than
any other to turn the day of the Lord
into day of dissipation, to use it as
an occasion for breeding intemperance.
While we hope that Sunday laws on
this point will not be relaxed, but even
more rigidly enforced, we implore all
Catholics, for the love of God and of
country, never to take part ir such
traffic nor to countenance or patronize
it. And we not only direct the atten-
tion of all pastors to the repression of
this abuse but we also call upon them
to induce all of their focks that may
be engaged in the sale of liquors to
abandon as soon as they can the dan
gerous traffic, and to embrace more
becoming way of making living.
Remember that while you are look
ing around for furniture that [ am
selling parlor and chamber suits at
bottom cash prices and everything else
in the same proportion. [ keep con-
stantly in stock a large supply of I'm
dertakers supplies which [ am selling

and the new are cordially invited to
inspect my stock before buying else

fully, NJ. G. WARREN. If.

The Original Judge Lynch.

Who the original Judge Lynch was
if such parsonage ever really existed
lis mystery. The earliest date as
signed to this exhibition of a developed
"iron conscience is, according to- the
Galway Council Book, the year 1408,
when an Irishman in MUNICIPAL authori-
ty in the county of Galway, and named
James Lynch, hanged his own son out
of window for despoiling and murder
ing strangers, without martial or COM
mon law, to show good example TO
posterity." Another ancestral deriva-
tion is to be found in one Lynch, who,
about 1857 was sent to America to sup
press piracy. AS justice was not ad-
ministered with much rigor or formali-
ty in the colonies, it is presumed that
this Judge Lynch was empowered to
proceed summarily against the pirates,
and thus originated the term. The o.
pinion which traces the expression to a
Mr.. Lynch, founder of the town Of
Lynchburg. in Virginia. is entirely un-
supported by any authority beyond
identity of name but it is curious TO
remember that so long ago as the reign
of Richard III. there was current dog
ged distich: <'First hang and draw
then hear the cause by Lydford law"

Horses in Battle.

Warehouses, when hit in battle, trem.
BILE In every muscle and groan deeply,
while their eyes show deep pastonishment.
During the battle of Waterloo, some of
the horses as they lay upon the ground !,
having recovered from the first agony
of their wounds, fell to eating the grass
about them, thus surrounding them
selves with circle OF bare ground the
limited extent Of which showed their
weakness. Others were observed quietly
grazing on the:feld. between the hostile
lines, their riders having been shot on
their backs, and the balls flying over
their heads and the tumult behind, be-
fore, and around them, causing no inter-
ruption to the usual instinct of their
nature. 1t was also observed that, when
charge of cavalry went past near to
any of the stray horses already mention
ed, they would set off. from themselves
in the rear of their mounted compan-
ions, and. though without riders ,gallop
strenously along with the rest, not
stopping or fiinching wheh the fatal
shock with the enemy took place. At
the battle of Kirk, in 1745, Major Mac
Donald, haYing unhorsed an English
officer, took possession OF his horse,
which was very beautiful, and immedi-
ately mounted it. When the English
cavalry fled, the horse ran away with
its captor, Notwithstanding all his ef-
forts to restrain him I; nor did it stop
until it was at the head of the regiment
of which apparently its master was
commander. The melancholy, and at
the same time ludicrous figure which
Macdonald presented when he saw
himself the victim of his ambition to
possess fine horse, which ultimately
cost him his life upon the scaffold, may
be easily conceived.

The Old Liberty Bell.

The old bell which Philadelphia has
sent to the New Orleans Exposition has
had a noteworthy history, apart from
the one great deed which gave 1t world.
wide fame.
In 1751, the Pennsylvania Assembly
| IA Quaker convocation, under the rule
of the Penns) authorized committee
to Luy a bell for the State House. tn
the letter sent by this committee to
Robert Charles Of London, ordering the
bell, are these words:
"Let 1t be cast by the best workma n
and examined carefully before it is ship
ped. with the following words, we'll
shaped in large letters, around it, BY
order of the Assembly Of the Province
of Pennsylvania for the State house in
the city of Philadelphia, 1882 And
underneath, Proclaim liberty through
all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof"
As Philadelphia and the province
governed by Penn was atsthat time lit
orally the only spot in the world where
absolute religious freedom prevailed,
there was Singular pertinence and
significance this inscription.
On the arrival of the bell ir was
hung, and rung to try the sound, but,
having been badly cast, it cracked on
the first stroke of the clapper. The
good Qnakers then resolved to re-cast
it themselves, which they accordingly
did in 1853.
In 1777, when the British threatened
Philadelphia, it was removed to the
little Moravian town of Bethlehem for
safety. Even then, the people who
were fighting 80 haId for their freedom
invested with a kind of sacredness the
bell which had rung out to proclaim
Liberty not only to this land but to all
the nations of the world who should
seek shelter hsre.
1t was broken several years later and
has since occupied place in the old
State House at Philadelphia, next to
the room in which the Declaration was
signed that made US free people.
1t has now been sent under a guard
Of honor by Philadelphia to the city Of
New Orleans, ,on mission of goodwill
and friendship. IL it will help to re
store peace and brotherly feeling be-
tween the people of the two sections,
and to remind them that they are one
nation with the same heroic past,sure
" never before was metal cast for
nobler work.

How Meals are Served in New
Orleans.

Few set tables. You are served in
the morning before you get out of bed
with cup of coffee as good as can be
found anywhere in the world, and some
bread or little Creole pie-crust cakes.
There is no trouble about your meals.
There is restaurant on every corner
or so, or you can have your meals serv-
ed hot, and at the most reasonable
rates. AS a general thing, however.
they do not ego in heavy. for breakfast
here. Your coffee is supposed to salts
fy you until midday, when you take a
slight lunch at some saloon. About 6
in the evening you sit down to the big
meal of the day. Supper there iS none,
unless you drop in at the theatre, after
which you eat something light. Thus,
at least you will find the natives doing,
and those who haye been visiting New
Orleans each winter for years will tell
YOU that it Is the most comfortable way
to live here and best suited TO climate.

half so big man TO them as he was a
few days ago. Alas, how blasted hopes

contemporaries who refused to recognize
the certainty of Senator Cameron's re-

to their readers whether they were too
ignorant to know the fact or too preju-
diced to honestly say so.
Buffalo Telegraph: Unless the briga-
diers are muzzled and new tunes put In

soon find that civil service business is
only side issue in his administration,
and all his sham protestations OF yearning
for reform will not save him from the

fact that "Evarts is not good Republi'
