IT is said that among the host Ct
witnesses the Times had but Gid not
call was Corydon, the notorious inform
er. It has been stated and believed
that Corydon had met his death some
years ago. but reliable person declares
that he saw him. Undoubtedly, but
for the utterly crushing character Of
the exposure the Times met with over
the forgeries, a large number of addi-
t!onal witnesses Of the Corydon variety
would have been called. The rate at
which these mems expenses have been
paid is absolutely Incredible, and it
will form an important item in connec-
ton with the projected proceedings
arising out of the discovery of the con-
spiracy.

Effects Of English Misrule.

New York Tablet:--The latest report
of the Irish Registrar General that for
| the quarter ending December 81, 1885
records the Old familiar story OF dcple~
ton and decay. During the period
narned-a period be it remembered
when the tide of emigration is at its
lowest ebb-no less than 1874 people
left the shores Of Ireland. This de-
crease is not made good by the excess
OF births over deaths, which was 6,992,
thus making the net decrease in the
population 1852
These are saddening figures. We
need, it is true, 10 such evidence TO
convince us Of the present wretched
state of Ireland; but that nearly ten
thousand people should em1grate at
this inclenent season Of the year I'M
parts a fearful vividness to our mental
picture or the situation. OF course
with the advent Of the spring vast i'm
petus will be given to this exodus.
Ireiand's rulers have usually account
ed for her poverty on the ground that
the island was ver-populated. The
absurdity of this contention, of course,
needs no demonstration. A simple ana
conclusive answer to il is furnished in
the fact that poverty SO far from de.
creasing proportionately with the de-
crease in population is, on the contrary.
actually on the increase. The present
estimated population is half a million
less chat it was ten years ago, While the
number Of paupers have almost doubled
in that period! The truth is, Ireland
could, under self government, maintain
IN comfort three times it's present popu.,
lation. Her chronic poverty is attribut-
able solely to the blighting effects of
foreign misrule and will only cease with
the destruction of it's cause.

Our Savicr's Sentence.

The following is q copy of the Enost
memorial sentence that has ever been
pronounced in the annals of the world
namely, that Of death against
the Savior. With the remarks that the
journal LIE Draft has collected, the
knowlege OF which must be interesting
in the highest degree to every Catholic
until now we are not aware that it has
ever been made public. The sentence
is word, for word as follows: Sentence

Only short time since an announce

CURED on March "a and whose funeral
took place on the following Tuesday.
Mr.. Finn, who was about eighty years
Of age at Che time of his demise, came
to the state, then territory of Mime

settlers within it's boundaries. Speak

Of the city, who could not be moved by
the funeral of some one more renowned,

Byrne, who had given the deceased the
last sacraments and the last absolutions

performed the EXECUTES over the re-

resignation to the Divine Will. His
was death which all of us wish but
not all obtain.
From the morning till the evening of
his long life Mr.. Finn had many OBJ
stacles to remove and many difficulties
to surmount, which made his career
not an uneventful one. He was born
near Middleton, in the parish of Balli-
macodY, County Cork, Ireland, some
eighty Years ago, when the conditions
Of the peasantry were much worse than
they are aJ present. Hence he did not

of a quick and sensitive nature, felt
more keenly than others these Trials,

Eureka weekly sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1887-1902, 1889-04-20

There is a student in Yale College
who doesn't admire a certain young
lady as much as he did a week or so
ago. With her he essayed to pass a
certain afternoon at Lake Whitney
a few days ago. Both skated around
and had lots Of fun for a few hours,
but there came an end to the pleas
ures, for suddenly, as the twain were
executing a fancy movement, the
treaeherous ice gave way and the col
legian and his girl were in the water.
1t was quite deep and the student
sank. He soon came up, hawever,
and found the girl struggling at the
top of the water, as her skirts had
kept her afoat. There was quite a
large space OF open water, but the stu
dent bravely rescued the maiden by
pushing her toward the edge OF the
ice, where others placed her on her
feet. He was about to crawl out in
her wake, when this New Haven girl,
with remarkable presence of mind, re-
marked: "0hl will you please 20
back and get my muff?" The student
remained in the water long enough TO
secure the article, and then joined the
girl, but is safe to say he'll not risk

student from Vermont, who did not

the announcement, but he said moth

chicken pie; the next oyster pie; the
next veal pie, and so on for a fort

Inspector Byrnes is rather a band

black derby little too low on his fore
head and keeps his hands in his over
coat pockets. Those who have got
their impressions of the typical sIeuth
hound from the dime novel would not
take the Inspector for the leading de-
tective of America. lie does not 90

brushes along like any other good citi-
zens who had an hour TO kill on the
busy streets of New York. Inspector
Byrnes has, however, a keen eye,
which you may have noticed just
under the brim OF his hat, by which it
was shaded. lie is rather tall, is well
built and dresses neatly, with the ex-
ception OF his shoes, which are gener-
ally heavy and protected by very thick
soles, such as members OF the police

looking man, very approachable, kind
to interiors, and conversation inter
esting. lie has reached the summit
by commanding the greatest detective
force in the country with eminent
ability, by forming literary copart-

selling his experiences as detective
at good figure. He is popular with
the press, which is a great thing
