PAINTING THE TOWN RED"
An Expression Taken From an Old
Irish Ballad.

An Expression Taken From an Old
Irish Ballad.
"F. D." wishes to know the origin of
"painting the town red" l believe it is
the paraphrase of an expression that fire.
uuently occurs in old Irish balladry. In
looking over a collection of old Irish war
songs and ballads descriptive of the san
culinary conflicts between the Irish chief
tains and the Anglo.Norman invaders Of
Ireland, I ha re very frequently found
phrases closely akin to that OF painting
the town red. For instance, when the
Irish Kernes, under VIM. MacGeogehan,
Lord of Kenil Feacha, in the County OF
Westmeath, overthrow the English at
the battle of Ardonocher, A. ID. 1923,
shaving 5000 of the latter, the bardic
chronicler tells US that the midnight
skies were redeemed with torrents of
flame from the highlands east and west"
in honor of the victory. The towns and
hamlets, too, wherein the kindred OF the
victors dWelt blazed, or were painted
red, ;" with bonfres, and the Inhabitants
thereof naturally gave loose rein to their
mirthful propensities. The fires upon
the highlands were the primitive mode
of telegraphing to distant kinsfolk and
sympathizers the glad tidings and the ex-
uberant exultation that followed.
In describing the euectS Oh Cne DACCle
of Gu art Hill, which was the first en-
gagement between the Irish insurgents
and the English army in the great Wex-
ford rebellion of 1898 in Ireland, and III
which the insurgents came off victorious,
the local balladist says:
The hills and skies were painted red
That night with beacon fires.
For Wexfords sons had well avenged
The Saxon slaughtered sires.
I could cite a score of other quotations,
showing several other expressions ex-
actly similar to that of painting the
town red.' 1t was a favorite one with
the old Irish bards when depicting the
scenes that followed a military triumph
on the part of their countrymen. Is it
then unreasonable to infer that the
phrase, "painting the town red" for
indulging in the wild antics of unlicensed
hilarity, had it's origin in the way al
lude to! This is what William Mac
Geogehan says, and l believe him most
excellent authority.-F j. A. Letter in
Boston Post.

A SENSATION SPOILED.
Alleged Beauties Who Chew Plug To-
bacco and Are Not Even Rich.


The Atlanta Ca papers are filed with
sensational accounts of how two beautiful
and accomplished ladies of that city fell in
love with and married two negro men, one
an ex-convict and the other the owner of a
VIGOROUSLY bad character. The females
are quoted as being quite wealthy, one of
them being worth from $4,000 to $4,000,
and the oth3r was nearly as rich. They are
credited with getting this money from the
division of their fathers estate, which was
sold at administrator sale for $4,000
Citizens of Atlanta who are familiar with
the history of the family which has been
brought into such prominence are laughing
over the accounts which have found their
way into the papers.
Several years ago their lived about five
miles from Atlanta an old man by the name
of Hugh Cumming: While walking on the
railroad one day he was killed. He left
wife and three children. The
eldest was Maggie, the next Matilda,
named after her mother, and the third
Susie Since Cummings death the family,
or at least the mother and her daughters
Matilda and Susie, have been living lm-
moral lives. The old woman commenced
dri mixing hard and still keeps up the habit
to an excessive extent, while Matilda and
Susie nave DeeD Uuc sOClbJy VI
negro men, Matilda claims to have mar
ried negro by the name of Frank Pea
cock, and Susi2 while calling herself Mrs
White, says that she is the wife of Greene
Jackson, another negro, Both of the women
are of the commonest character In addi-
ton to their manner of enjoying social life,
both of them chew plug tobacco and
almost live on snuff. Their manner
of conversation is anything but choice, and
in general terms they are anything but re
spectacle. When Cunning died his entire
estate consisted Of 1876 acres Of land, which
was sold at administrators sale for $40 so
per acre, | believe, to F. NJ. Coker, the
banker of this city, and lot in the city Of
Atlanta worth probably $1,000. The pro-
ceeds were to be divided equally among
the wife and her three daughters, the di-
vision being something like $1,000 for
each, Susie, being a minor, was not given
her share of the plumber, but in some way
got her hands on il and skipped out to
Ohio with Green jackson, a negro boy.
She now claims TO have married him, but
marriage certificate lacks the signature
of any official having the authority TO per-
form any such ceremony. Her sister was
arrested in Chattanooga some time ago
while living with Peacock, and got out of
her trouble by claiming that she had negro
blood in her Veins, and that she and Pea
cook were husband and wife. Both of the
women are known TO have had negro chill
dren. The two Dunning women, Martin
Holmes, Louella Carr and Green Jackson
the last three negroosl are confined at po-
lice headquarters as suspects

diseases and their successful treatment, solely
for the purpose of advancing medical knowledge
and stimulating exact medical research. The
first prize of 5000, is offered to any physician
in private practice and not connected with any
hospital or dispensary; the second sum of So
000 to any physician or physicians in or con-
nected with public hospitals, insane asylums or
dispensaries
The physician offering these prizes is Dr. Fl.
H. Kane, of New York, whose services to the
profession and the public are already we'll
known, and who is the author of several books
on the Brain and Nerves, the Opium and Nor
phine Habits, etc. He studied the profession in
the office of the late Professor Willard Parker
one of the most famous of American doctors.
The conditions of the competition are as fol-
lows:
The Prizes of So 900 and 81, 900 will be sever
ally awarded by a committee composed of three
physicians; one Allopath, one Homeopath and
one Eclectic, and will be awarded for the best
essay on the treatment of diseases of the Brain
and Nerves, and nervous diseases of the Heart,
Stomach and Kidneys each statement made to
be proved by experiment upon at least 100 cases
of that special nervous affection. The remedy
to be used in all these researches to be the great
nervine Scotch Oats Essence, with which DR..
Kane mas himSef succeeded, III what mas secured
to him, an almost marvellous manner, in curing
the most grave and serious cases of Brain and
Nerve Diseases, Opium Habit, etc.
He now wishes to have his researches either
proved or dsproved by exhaustive research by
the best physicians of America, who entire
ly unprecedented. Scotch Oats Essence certainly
seems to be marvellous remedy, and we believe
the results to be obtained in this competition
will be of the greatest value to the entire medi-
cal profession and the people, and we commend
DR.. Kane's course most heartily.
Essays, when completed and accompanied by
pulse-tracings records, ETC., to be sealed and
sent to DIR. H. H. Kane, New York, who will for
ward them TO the Committee of Awards. We
should be very glad to see one Of our own physi-
Clans succeed and secure at least one of these
prizes.

How the House Flies Winter.

%
The Wilmington, IN. O. Messenger
Days:-Some one has asked, where do
lies go in winter2 This is a question
bf some interest, for house fly is born
bully grown and of mature size, and
here are no little flies OF the same
species, the small ones occasionally OBJ
perved being different in kind from the
large ones. The house fly does not bite
pr pierce the skin, but gathers its food
By comb or rake or brush-like tongue,
Nth which it is able to scrape the var
nish from covers of books, and it thus
tickles the skin of persons upon whom
it alights to feed upon the perspiration.
A fly is scavenger, and is vehicle by
which contagious diseases are spread.
It poisons wounds and may carry deadly
virus from decaying organic matter into
food. 1t retires from the sight at the
beginning of winter, but where it goes
few persons know. If search of the
house be made they will be found in
great numbers secreted in warm places
in the roof or between the partitions a.
floors. Last winter we had occasion to
examine roof, and found around the
chimney myriads of flies alternating
comfortably, and sufficiently lively to fly
when disturbed Gin overpowerinR
Clouds" No doubt this is favorite
winter resort for these creatures.

walked unsteadily to the chapel door.

muttered to himself, thinking she had left
the chapel and gone from him forever.

Giving vent to his anguish, he sank weari.

been seated.
She stood at the chapel door with her
back toward him. She pulled up her veil
and gazed straight before her, at nothing
that was visible to others, heard his heavy
signs, but did not move.
Her pure heart was as full rs his, there
was SO much in it crying out for utterance
which she could not give. She longed to
tell him that she was wholly his-that he
was all the world to her--that she loved him
as man had never yet been loved.
Presently she advanced a few steps noiss-
lessly from the door of the chapel toward
the picture Of misery which she painted to
paint out forever.
He did not hear her, for he thought she
had gone. He did not dream that ife's
ecstatic happiness stood behind him--al-
most touched him.
She stood SO for nearly minute, almost
unconscious. She fancied afterward thai
she must have tainted during that minute
She placed her left hand softly on his left
shoulder, but he did not turn or start. HI
thought her touch unreal.
Blushing trembling. weeping, and sml-
ing she put her right arm on his right
shoulder, and clasped her little quiverine
hands under his chin, and placed her cheeE
against his.
Almost involuntarily she let herself fall
still embracing his neck, and swung herself
round and faced him suddenly
Her dear, pure, beauteous face almost
touched his. Her sweet lips, as she spoke
to him in soft whisper, fell gently on his,
and for many seconds remained upon
them.

The Eoening Post has the cruelty to
shoot at the Republicans this extract
from President Arthur's last message:
II recommend an enlargement Of the free
list, so as to include within it the numerous
articles which yield considerable revenue, a
simplifIcation Of the complex and inconsistent
schednle Of duties upon certain manufactures,
particularly those of cotton, iron and steel,
and a substantial reduction OF the duties upon
those articles, and upon sugar, molasses, silk,
wool and wooden goods
The reports of those eminent Repub-
lican Secretaries of the Treasury, Folger
and McCulloch, contained the same rec
concentrations, quite as explicitly made,
and yet the party now brands such a
proposition as Free Trade" and
through the President of its convention
proclaims its policy to be: Perpetuate
the taxes and spend the surplus. -Neso
