Orange Outbreak I'm New Foundiand

Orange outbreak IN view founui"h"'
[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
ST. JOINS, n. F., January o.
Yesterday at Bay Roberts there was
another furious Orange outbreak. The
New York Redemption Fathers, who
are holding mission at that place, were
besieged and imprisoned in their dwell
ings. An Orange arch was erected near
the Catholic church, and hundreds of
armed Orangemen paraded the streets.
When the intelligence reached st. Johns
the United States Consul demanded
from Governor Glover protection for
the lives and liberty Of the United
States citizens. An extraordinary meet
ing of the Executive Council has been
summoned. A British corvette has been
ordered to Bay Roberts, and a large
body of police, under Inspector Carly
has been dispatched by a special train
to the scene of the trouble.
ST. JOHNS. n. f., January 5.-Thc
latest dispatch from Bay Roberts says :;
Bishop Mcdonald is prevented by
Orangemen from holding service in the
church, which they have surrounded.
Affairs are growing darker and more
threatening. Hundreds of armed men
are parading the streets. The police
are unequal to the occasion. The
British man-of-war "TeDedos has
lust arrived to reinforce the civil au-
thorities. The 0rangemen refuse to
take down the arches or flags.

The horses shrugged Laaycly To lLe
top of the hill on which The F0Ily stood,
bruving the fury Of the sturnl. \ grave
servant, whose face spoke .of Impending

brary, where the doctor joincu him.
..She has been delirIous all day." he
said, calling for her sou.
''Her son Has she SOM" asked
Cuthbert, surprised.
"She must nave; aud by the way she
talks, should think he had been but
little Joy toh her. Consciousnessr returned
about an hour ago, but it means the end.
She asks for you continually, and you
are barely i'll time. Come with M !"
He was barely i'll time. Mrs. Blatch-
ford was dying tast her aquil.ne fea-
tures were suarp and drawn; but Ler
face bore softer expression than Cuth-
bert could remember having seen upon
it. He kneeled beside her and took her
hand. Seeing she stroye to speak, he
leaned his ear close to her lips.
Under my pillow" were the only
words he could catch.
+ He put his hand az, directed, and drew
forth a letter adtlres Sed to himself.

Il promise, on my honor as gentle-
man.
His words seemed to satisfy her. He
felt the faintest pressure of her fingers
then, like o:e who has done with world
ly things, she sal k once more into stu
por. The doctor, until now, had, from
feelings of delicacy, drawn aside. He
came near and shook his head ominous-
ly. Nothing more cuu!d be done.
Yet she awoke again. Her fingers
tightened round Cuthberts, and her
disengaged hand seemed tr., ing to find
him through the d. mess. She even
spoke again ; and he voice, although
FAINT, was distinct al passionate.
MY sonny only child! You have
come back at last-at last! But it is
too late! Iforgave, but / could not for
get. I have done itfor thebest, darling.
He is true man. and will keep his oath.
Good-by You have come back, and I

So Eionoria Blatchford died, happy in
the merciful delusion that the hand she
held was that OF the son with whom,
years ago. she had parted i'll anger, and
whom she had never since scen.

He waited down StalrS until the doctor
joined HIM.
"We can do nothing else," that gen

The carriage was III readiness, and
took them to them respective abodes.

"She has none. She told me once
her relatives were all distant ones, and
she liked none of them will telegraph
as you suggest"
"You will be certain to come in for

rather envlously.
Cuthbert started. He had not consid-
ereu the probability, and felt annoyed
at the remark.

the carriage stopped at his door,.
Cuhtbert Went 10 his room raled to-
gether his smodering fire, and for
long time sat thinking over the death
bed scene He felt truly sorry at tine
loss of friend, and, with all her pecu-
iarities true friend; yet, in his sor-
row, he could not help wondering what
could be the contents of that mysterious
letter lying before him. 1t must have
been written when Mrs. Blatchford was
in good health, as the writing on the
cover was firm and powerful. Well he
knew that plain but characteristic hand
WrltIng-luSt the sort one would have
expected from stern and strong-mi d.
ed woman. But speculation was idle
for some days he must remain in ignor-
ance of the wishes he had so solemnly
promised to See carried out; so he
lock- d the letter in his desk in company
with the malIeated sermon, which Mrs.
Roberts had picked up and reverentially
placed on the table; then, feeling worn
out with the work of the day, he went
to bed and slept an untroubled sleep.
At an early hour next morning Mr..
Harding, solicitor, Lincoln 8 Inn Fields,
learned that one of his best clients was
dead and by the first possible train he
made his appearance at Oversee. He
looked rather curiously at the curate as
/ they met, and his manner was polite, if
not defereptial. Cuthbert was glad to
see the legal adviser appear so promptly,
thinking his advent would shift all re-
sponsibllity from his own shoulders.

funeral, Mr.. Wrey asked the solicitor
after hearing what little there was to
hear about his clients rather sudden

Extravaganza in Speech.

OF all the extravagant habits,
which brings trouble to one S
neighbors as we'll as ones self, IS
that of extravagont speaking
How many reputation has been
injured, nay, lost-how many a
home, how many a business cred
it impaired by an eXtrayagant
mode Of speech--a remark with a
grain truth as basis embelllshed
and culored so as to grow to such
extravagant proportions that harm
Is done forwith. Extravagant pro-
fessions Of love or friendship are
never to be relied on. Their very
form wears out the feeling-it Will
not last. Extravaganza in rellg-
lon leads to bigotry-in politics to
demagogism. In the press, un-
der its influence, freedom becomes
license, and So it goes. Let us
recommend to those of our read
ers afflicted with this mania to re-
member what the immortal Shake
speare said to Romeo" "Love
moderately" and bear in mind
that moderation will insure tran
guilty of mind and a peaceful do

Death of Mrs. Lizzie Sasser.

Mrs. Jane Elizabeth Sasser was
born in the State of South Carroll
ma September 23d, 1888, moved to
Georgia when quite child and
was resident of Terrell county
many years. Her father, Haily
johnson, was well and favorably
known in this county for his ster-
ling integrity, and her mother for
her many good and noble traits Of
character, In 1856 she was mar
ried to Mr. John A. Cozart, who
died in the Confederate army in
1864, leaving two children, one
dying when a child, the other liv-
ing until near manhood. In 1862
she made a profession Of religion
and connected herself with the
Primitive Baptist church, near
Dawson, and lived a consistent
member thereof. In 1867 she
was married a second time to Mr..
}. G. Sasser, with whom she lived
IN domestic happiness until she
was summoned to join those who
had gone before, which sad event
occurred on the second day Of the
present month. Having moved to
Ward, at which place there is no
church of her choice, and feeling
that to stay out of a Christian
church was not proper, she made
haste to connect herself with the
Methodist church at that place,
and continued, as from her first
conversion, an humble and quiet
Christian woman. It was only
those who were Intimately ac-
quainted with her who knew so
well her answering faith in the
Christian religion. She believed
that Christ was God manifest in
the flesh and through Him alcne
could there be any remission Of
sins. Being a woman Of high re-
ligious and moral sense, she en-
deayored to search out the good
| anu I6JCCG Uu6 evil.
Ii it was ever ne ecessary for her
to reprove those over whom she
exercised any parental control, it
was always done in manner de-
cisive, firm and kind. She rarely
ever gave advice to others except
those for whom she felt it her du-
ty as a true friend and a Chris
. tian, The approach Of death was
not dreaded by her, for she had
long ago made ready to meet it.
For a week before her death her
bodily sufferings were great, and
while expressing herself that her
time had come not a word of COM
plant escaped her as to the divine
affliction. She will be missed by
the church, friends, the social cir
Gle, and around the family hearth
stone there is vacant chair, a ST.
lence that cannot be broken. but
there is left al influence by her
which no other could WELD; an
influence that can only be made
perfect by the fervent prayers of
a good woman. Rest wife, sister,
aunt and friend; your reward is
sure, your happiness now COM
plete.
BLESSED are the pure in heart,
fol they shall see God. .P.
