The red light was closc-cloSe at hand,
but the man lay still and rocked nothing OF
it. The woman having accomplished her
CHASTITY work, wound her black shawl
tightly round her lead, then fell uron he;
knees, waited, and lived an age i'll every
moment.
She heard, through the mufiling. the rush,
she felt on her hands the wind of the metal
monster as it swept by; but she heard or felt
no more. She rose and shuldeYed con-
vulsively; then, without a glance to sea
what her hand had wrought, stepped over
the line, down the steep embankment, and
was lost in the night. She had done what
she believed to be her appointed task. No
longer would Maurice Harvey stand be-
tween Beatrice and happiness!
The poor wretch wasalmost cut in two The
wheels which had crushed the life cut of him
were those of an engine on its way TO pick
up trucks on siding some way down the
line. The driver felt.the slight obstruction,
and having marked the spot where it oc-
Cured, upon his return stopped the train
and knew what had caused that momentary
jolt, knew that mans life Ead, in that
second, passed away.
The body was picked up, placed IN truck,
taken to the Munich station, and thence to
the place appointed for the reception of the
bodie, of unknown men who meet with a sud
den or violent death.

tell us that in keeping up these eel
ebrations on this day we injure Ire
lands cause, and keep alive the preju-
dices engendered by religious quar-
rels. They would set aside the glorious
day and choose some other Units stead.
They would supplant the immortal
with the mortal, the finite with the
infinite; but they wish in vain. The
character of st. Patrick's day is the
common property of Irishmen every
where. no matter what their religion
may be. Standing in the foreground
of her history that grand hero will
ever be the admiration of her children
and the world. His character and his
memory are sacred trust which Ire
lands sons will ever keep inyiolate.
With the wonderful growth Of re-
ligion in Ireland that OF education
went hand in hand. The motto of
the church, Religion and Science"
was nowhere more faithfully illustrated
than in the history Of Ireland. Her
schools and universities became the
wonder of the world. Students came
from every part of Europe to listen at
the feet of her professors. And from
those seats of learning went forth the
men who founded almost every great
university of Europe. Literature -four
ished, of course. Il was an impOssi-
bility that in land SO noted for learn
ing as Ireland was, it should not
flourish. Music, too, was carried TO
high state of perfection; and much of
the beauty Of that ancient music has
survived the lapse of centuries, and is
yet the charm of youth and the sOlace
of old age. We speak with pride of
our schools and boast of our colleges,
but beside those schools of ancient
Ireland they are small, indeed. At
some of those institutions thousands
of students attended: and that too, in
a population insignificant when COM
pared with ours. But this bright scene
of national prosperity attracted the
eyes Of the ayariciouS Mortimer. and
they descended upon her coast in
Swarms. Her schools Were deserted,
her churches and mOnasteries were
destroyed, and when after three humid
red Years of inCessant warfare the
power oft he Dane was broken forever,
at the historic battle of ClOntarf, the
people were exhausted. <
The path Of Ireland's children was
destined to be sorroWful indeed; but
though sorrow and suffering was their
portion they preserved inviolate the
faith bequeathed them by st. Patrick.
Poor they might be, but never SO poor,
never 50 oppressed as to forget the
dear faith of their fathers.

Congressman Gcuthcr acted well a
manly part in the debate on the bill to
rc-enact the compulsory mail carriage
law. II requires no little courage to
bid defiance to the spirit of party big
otry. and take the Independent stand
taken by Mr. Geunthcr in this matter.
Ills remarks are concisely reported us
follows:
Mr. Geunther (Rep., Wis., said that
the reasons given by the Postmaster
General for not exercising the author
ity given him in regard to foreign mail
service were good and sufficient
reasons He (Mr. Geunther) remem-
bercd how this law had been whipped
through by intimidation and threats of
an extra session 1t was II sight to
make the angels weep; it was farce
and a mockery, appealing to the patri-
otic sense of congress in order to Sc
cure another subsidy for the Pacific
Mail. The Pacific Mail had ALWAYS
kept its eye on Uncle Sans cash box
II had succeeded in securing the repeal
of the Compulsory Mail Carriage law.
This obstacle had been removed by an
act entitled :" An act to remove certain
burdens from the American merchant
marine, To encourage the American
foreign CARRYING trade, and for other
purposes" 1t would have been more
mtclligiblc to the American mind to
have substituted for the words :. for
other purposes the words ito enable
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
to levy on the people of the United
States u tribute of $350,O00 per annum,
Ia be paid to the stockholders of that
corporation Had the Postmaster
General complied with the demands of
that company, he would have cstab-
lishcd precedent which that corpora
ton would have taken advantage of,
and WHICH could not have been broken
for wears to come"

The administration ought not to be
overawed by the strength of the oppo
sition, as represented by the vote on
the Edmunds resolution. Only one
majority in the senate shows rather a
weak force to sustain an unjust war
on the executive. The failure to mus
ter his full parry strength is a practical
dcfeat for the man from Vermont.

Good counsel has prevailed, and the
difficulty between the strikers and the
Missouri Pacific railroad company will
be settled by arbitration. \ meeting
between Superintendent Hoxie and a
committee Of employees has resulted in
an agreement that existing grievances
will be fairly adjudicated. The gener-
al executive board has ordered all the
Knights of Labor employed by the
company to resume work. 1t is conf
IDENTITY hoped the difficulty will be set
tied in peaceful and satisfactory
manner This state of affairs has been
brought about by the earnest efforts of
Grand Master Workman Powdcrly.

An Answer Wanted.

Can any one bring us Il case of
Kidney or Liver Complaint that Flee
trio Bitters will not speedily cure?
We say they can not, as thousands of
cases already permanently cured and
who are daily recommending Electric
Bitters, will prove. Bright's Disease,
Diabetes, Weak Back, or any urinary
complaint quickly cured. They puri-
fly the blood, regulate the bowels, and
act directly on the diseased part.

II anything was necessary to elnpha-
size the absurdity Of Senator Edmunds
position regarding the power of the
senate to traverse the executives rea-
sons for removals from office, the pres
ent debate upon that senator's resolu-
tions would furnish it. If every re-
moval from office was subject to such
a debate it would preclude al other

Dutch goldsmith of Amsterdam, who
devised the "thumb belln this was
its original name-in order to protect

was engaged with needle and cotton.
There are thumb thimbles still, and

Quality OF Pork.
Pure air helps TO make pure blood,

would not show so we'll at tho fairs,
and would probably be passed over by
judges and people who have boon
taught to admire only fat and helpless
things which get the prizes. Such pigs
are well adapted to fill lard kegs,
whereas tho standard of perfection
should be pig which will make the
most ham with tho least waste of
fat, the longest and deepest sides,
with the most lean meat. 1t should
have done enough TO stand up and
help itself to food, and carry with
it the evidence of health and natural
devc opment in all its pats. Pigs
which run in range of pasture have
good appetites the fresh air and oxer.

eat great variety of food, and much

Nothing need go to waste on farm

sumo all this refuse fruit, roots, pump
kins and all kinds of vegetables, which
will make them grow BY extending
the root patch and planting the fodder
corn thinner, so that nubbins will form
on it, by putting in sweet variety,
the number of pigs may be increased
in proportion, The pig pasture will be
ready next year for any crop, and ten
times the advantage accrue to the

in close pens, for as pigs are usually
managed on q farm but little manure is
ever made from them. .-BoSton Post.
