last saturday were attended by large,
humber OF our citizens who were de-
sirous OF thus testifying their admira-
'lon 1or the hero of Appomatox whose
na.ne WIN 60 down in history coupled
WIN WIN that Of Lincoln. The church had
oeen tastily draped bya committee of
tne Womans Relief Corps, large por-
oralt OF General Grant hanging high
aoove the pulpit, the altar being filed
with flowers. Shortly after the hour
appointed, E. o. c. Ord Post, No. %, G.
A. r., followed by the Band Of Hope
marched m to the church, after prayer by
chaplain Primmer the choir sang "He's
Gone" Then followed the beautiful
burial service of the G. A. r., at the
conclusion Of which after prayer by
Rev. j. w. 2. Jordan, the choir sang
"sleep, Comrade, Sleep" Rev. s. F.
Huntley was then introduced and
opened the exercises by reading the
l3eth Psalm; followed by prayer and
the singing by the choir Of Farewell
Father, Friend and Guardian" Mr..
Huntley took as a text Hebrews ia
and preached most excellent sermon,
prominent in which was the sentiment,
that Gen. Grant, though dead, yet
speaketh: At the afternoon exercises
Mrs. DR.. Hall read an ELOQUENT essay
on the life 6f the dead hero. She was
followed by remarks BY R:.sY Hazard,
J. 3. McNamara, d. Mitchell end j. R.
Eddy, each testifying to the greatness
OF the man whose life had been given
to his codntry and whose death had
brought q nation to forget it's past diff
ferences and bow in sorrow around his
bier. Words Of ours cannot add bril-
lance to the chaplet that from hence
forth will crown the name of him
who was of the people, who labored
for the people and whose fitting monu-
ment will ever be a nations grateful
remembrance.
There have been some questions asked
IN regard to Gen. Grants religious be-
lief. some persons going so far as to
say that the General did not believe in
anything higher than himself. In an
swer to all such questions we subjoin a
letter written by him, while President,
dated June 9Th, 1876, addressed to the
editor Of the Sunday School Times:
Your favor of yesterday, asking a
message from me to the children and
youth of the United States, to accom-
pany. your centennial number; is this
moment received. Ny advice to Sun
day schools; IS matter it + what the denom-
,ination, is: Hold fast to the> Bible as
the, sheet anchor to your liberties;
write, its. precepts in your hearts,
mad practice them in your lives. To
the influence of this Book are we in
debted for all progress made in our true
civilization, and to this we must look
as our guide in the future. "Righteous-
ness exalteth nation, bit sin Is re-
proach to any people" US. GRANT.
Where is found a better testimony to
the Christian religion?

election it will be your privilege, as
voters Of the county of Wicklow, to
| bear an active part i'll this struggle.
| Before the recent convention of the
county was held in your town | ven
tured to appeal to yoU-I had to make
my appeal to you from distance-to
bear yourselves throughout all the pro-
ceedings of that convention, the first of
| the many that have now been held
throughout Ireland appealed to you
to bear yourselves in the work of that
solemn and deliberate assembly in
manner that would prove you we're not
unworthy OF the prominent place so
confidently assigned to you by your
leader, MI. Parnell, in selecting his
own county Of Wicklow as the scene of
the first convention-the convention
which, as it was to be the first, was
also to be the model of all that We're to
follow To that appeal of mine you
nobIy responded, and l thank you for
it here to-day You showed yourselves
worthy of the trust confded to you.
Your convention justified, more than
justified, the confidence with which Il
the last appointed and the least expert
enced of the bishops of Ireland-pre-
dioted, and yentured to act on my pre-
diction, that the proceedings and result
Of that convention would be such as to |
leave me no cause for regret, but rather
to. bring to me cause for the fullest |
feeling of satisfaction, that had taken
on myself the responsibility of asking /
the priests in this portion Of my diocese
to take in that convention the place as
signed to them, as priests, by the lead
ers of the great constitutional move
ment of the day. Speaking to you,
now, in your own county town, on the
very eve of the dissolution Of Parlia
ment, [ have to make to you another
appeal. Contrary to all reasonable ex-
pectation, d contest is to be forced upon
you and your sitting member, Mr.. Cor
bet. Your peaceful county is to be
plunged into what may be the turmoil
and the confusion Of a contested cleo
ton. IF that election contest were to
be raised for the sake of testing the
feelings Of the electors, of affording to
~ome candidate reasonable chance,

| For both addresses then | beg to thank
you. [ am here, as YOU know, on my
return to Dublin from a short visit to
one Of the border parishes of my do
cese-the parish of ArkloW-in an out
lying district Of which, away in the
county Of Wexford, it was yesterday
my privilege to perform, for the first
time, the solemn rite of dedicating a
church to the public worship Of God.
That visit has left upon my mind i'm
pressions that cannot easily be efaced.
1t was my first official visit to any dis
trict of the county of Wexford, and /
was reminded in it, in more ways than
one-as, indeed, no visitor to that his
toric region could fail to be reminded
of much that is instructive in our his
tory It was there that, not yet d
hundred years, were perpetrated those
outrages, to which even yet it is scarce
ly safe for one who is restrained. as
ana, by the responsibility of high ec-
clesiastical position, TO refer IN detail.
1t was there that our priests were muir
4 n 4 III r hat
our churches, or, as they were then
called chapeIs, were desecrated and
burned to the ground. 1t was from
that very district that the young curate
of ArkIow, afterwards the sainted
Archbishop of Dublin, DR.. Murray
fed for his life, and but saved his life
with difficulty in flying for shelter to a
place of refuge in the city of Dublin,
pursued as he was by the savage assas-
sins of his aged and inofIensive parish
priest. The ciyilizing influence of mod
ern legislation, no doubt, has done
much. in that district as elsewhere, TO
curb and TO render harmless the hatred
of the enemies of our race and Of cur
Catholic faith. But there is still to be
found there, in some quarters at all
events. evidence. beyond gainsay and
beyond question. that it is the mere
pressure of law and not the pressure
or the influence of civilization or of
Christian feeling that saves eyento-day
the people of that district from re-
newal Of some share Of the bitter per-
secution to which their fathers were
subjected in the dark and evil days"
of fss. But in one respect, at all
events, the times are changed for the
better. The prayer Of that noble song.
SO dear to every Wicklow and Wexford
man. which commentaries the efforts,
even though we cannot but regard
them as the misguided and rnisdirected
efforts, Of the patriot heroes of those
days, has indeed been fulfilled. But it
has been futile in sense far higher.
and far more hopeful for the future
destinies of our country than any
