WRATH or THE MOORES.
a Legend of Old ireland
BY Patrick. Henry Sullivan.

A bright, sunny afternoon and a
scene of rural beauty stretching back
from old oceans beach on the south
western coast of Ireland. Inland lay
meadow after meadow. bright with
verdure, and fields which, titled for
centuries, are still prolific. On rising
knoll from the sea stood the cottage

and of right freeman, but almost serf.
AS he rested on his hoe, after a hard

his rugged form and ruddy complexion
formed striking picture with the blue
of the ocean and the green of the land.
But John. if he thought of it in that
light at all, knew that it was all a
picture, and that there was little of the
toiling neighbOrs. Only himself knew
what it meant for man in his position
to possess, though if only as tenant by

New YORK, March s.-Capt. John
Ericsson, the famous Swedish engineer,
who designed the iron-clad Monitor,

Owing to his advanced age, MIR.
Ericsson failed to rally. Deceased was

Ericsson, was proprietor of mines, and
his mother, Sophie, was the daughter of
an iron master. Capt. Ericsson came
of family of engineers, his brother and
his nephew having all gained renown
in Europe by the originality of their en-
gineering feats. Capt. John Ericsson,
at the age of ten, constructed minia-
ture saw mill and pumping machine
that attractep great attention in Sweden
at the time. At seventeen he entered
the Swedish army as all ensign and rap
idly received promotion for the ingenuity
displayed in getting up plans of fortifi-
cations and maps. During his early life
he was to Europe what Edison is to
America. He invented i'll three years
forty different mechanical contrivanceS,
two-thirds of which were patented, In
1889 he came to America, and in 1871
began to build the Princeton, the first
