A Terrible Storm.

The memory of the tornado which, on
Sunday, July 18th, swept Lake Pepin
and ruth lessly took one hundred lives
still remains and seems inetfaceab!e
Occasionally we fancy that we can see
the whirling, tumbling clouds and hear
the sullen roar of the distant tempest
And thus it is that when the skies be-
come overcast and the clouds appear to
be particularly angry, our minds revert
to that terrible catastrophe, and we look
apprehensivelY about us as if fearing
some such disaster, Such feelings,
however, are natural and frequently
justliable, but the person who takes
the SAINT Paul s. Duluth Railroad, now
popularity known as the Duluth Short
Line, never has occasion for alarm of
any kind, for the roadbed is so SIN both
and perfect, the equipage so modern
and appropriate, and the train service
50 admirable that the tourist who starts
from Duluth and West Superior for the
Twin Cities, or vice versa, arrives safe
aed sound almost before he knows it.

Two Greet Irishmen /.

Sir Jonah Darlington, member OF
the old Irish parliament, draws the fol-
lowing parallelism between Flood and
Grattan: ''Mr. Flood, one OF the ablest
men that Ireland ever produced, was
one Of the most prominent amongst the
Irish patriots. He saw farther. and
thought deeper than any Of his con
temporarles; he knew the world, and of
conrse was sceptical, As a popular
orator, he was inferior to Mr.. Grattan;
but as deliberate senator, he was
vastly his superior. He was a man of
profound abilities, high manners, and
great experience in the affairs of Ire
land. He had deep information. an ex.
tensiye capacity. and a solid Judgment.
His experience made him sceptical--
Mr.. Grattan's honesty made him cred
ulous. Mr.. Grattan was a great patriot
Mr.. Flood was great statesman.
The first was qualified to ach ieYe the
liberties of a country--the latter TO un
tangle complicated constitution. Graf.
tan was the more brilliant man-F Flood
the more able senator. Flood was the
wiser -Grattan was the purer
The one used more logic The other
made more proselytes. Unrivalled.
save by each other, they were equal in
tn cir fortitude; but Grattan was tie
more impetuous. Flood had qualities
for great prime G rattan tor virtu-
GUS one; and combination OF both
would have made glorious monarch.
They were great enough to be In con-
test; but they were not great enough to
be in harmony; both were too proud;
but neither had sufficient magnanimity
to merge his jealousies in the cause Of
his country.

pilgrimage to the Island Of AK.

On September 2 a pilgrimage took
place to the island Of AK, in France,
to CONNIE morate the five thousand
priests and religious who died there in
1898, victims Of the Revolution. Some
succumbed to the effects Of ill-treat-
ment and privation, others died violent
deaths. Their remains were irrevently
buried in the sand. The whitened
bones have since been rescued, and a
monument in memory Of the martyred
priests and religions to whom they
belonged is shortly to be erected at AK.

Bishop Of Dunedin, New Zealand, in sa

charges Of crime against the Irish race.

Catholic province in Ireland, with its
one-half per cent We have coercion
in Ireland, the people are goaded on to
desperate acts, and yet Ireland's Crime
less Condition is without parallel in
the whole world. According to stats
tics, the statistics of commission of
prisons, fully ive-six ths of the
county prisons in Ireland are closed
for want Of inmates. One-half Of the
large convict prisons are also closed.
Two great penal establishments Spike
Island and Lusk-have their doors
locked against intruders. 1t is readily
admitted that real crime is becoming
rapidly unknown. The majority OF
convictions consist of petty offences,
which, in the case of a more cool Eng
ishman or shrewd Scotchman, would
not have come before the court. Half
the prisons are closed in Ireland, while
in England new prisons are being
built. In Ireland it is not intro.
quently the only duty of the sheriff to
present the presiding judge with
pair of white gloves. In England
crime, and serious crime of the White
chapel type, is daily increasing. Il
people want q list for the comparative
value of Catholic and public school ed
ucation in the production of useful

basis and give up petty mud throwing,
which is without reason and without

criminal classes and confidence men,

Republican politicians are resorting to
these tricks. Attention must be di-

of their ability to befool and befuddle

CARDINAL. GIBBONS VIEWS.

His Advice to the Negro Catholics of the
United States.
The United States African News Co.
has received the following letter from
Cardinal Gibbons:
ssThe negro problem is indeed one Of
the most vexed questions that agitate
the world to-day. Learned end we'll
meaning mon, who have brought much
reflection and the purest of motives TO
the study Of the subject, differ widely
as to its best solution. For myself, /
would offer two suggestions in this con-
nection, (which, if reflected upon and
reduced to practice, will, think, go
far towards solution of this mos t
difficult question.
First, it is conceded that large
proportion of the negroes of the United
States are uneducated, ignorant to q
deplorab1e extent Of the most funda-
mental truths Of Christianity, and
this, cheerfully add, through nc. fault
of theirs. What, then, is the first need
of the colored people A sound relig-
ious education; an education that will
bring them to practical knowledge of
God, that will teach them their origin;
and the sublime destiny that awaits
them in better world; an education
that will develop their superior being,
that will inspire them with the love
Of wisdom and hatred of sin, that will
make them honest, moral, God-fearing
men. Such an education will elevate
! = l., ~>1o
religious footing with the white man.
ssFurthermore, and 8 econdly, it is a
matter of observ alton that few colored
people are mechanics. Now, to be a
factor in their country's prosperity, to
make their presence felt, and to give
any influence whatever to their at
tempt TO better their status, it is abso-
lutely necessary that besides a sound
religious training they should be taught
to be useful, practical citizens; they
shouldlbe brought up from their child
hood to habits Of industry; they should
oe taught that to labor is honorable,
and that the idler is menace to the
founded wherein young men may lear n
the trades best suited to their molina
tions. Thus equipped-on the one hand
well-instructed Christians, on the other
skilled workmen-our colored people
may look forward hopefully to the fu-
ture; but until they have progressed SO
far it is useless to deal in speculatiens
rs to their true rights. am happy to
bear testimony from personal observa-
ton to the many virtues that are ex
hibited among SO many of the colored
population Of Maryland; especially
their deep sense Of religion, their graf
itude for favors bestowed, and thei1
affectionate disposition. !"

How Abraham Lincoln Made Thousand
Dollars.

7 Mr.. Waite Talcot6, sitting in the
great, old~fashioned room of his old
fashioned home. told the writer an in
teresting story about how Mr.. Lincoln
got the money which enabled him to
stump the state with Douglas.
1t was in the DAYS Of the rivalry be-
tween Cyrus H. Mccormick and John
II. Nanny IN the reaper business. Me
Corm1ck claimed that John I'll. Nanny
had infringed upon his patent. Mr..
Talcott, Jesse Blinn and Ralph uender-
son were partners in the Nanny con-
Germ. Mccormick sued the Nanny
company in the United States District
Court in Cincinnati. Justice McLain
presiding. A MIR. Watson, who had
gone out from Rockford. was Patent
Office official in Washington, The
Nanny concern sent for him and he ex-
ahmed the papers. After having done
so he said to Mr.. Nanny:
There is one LAWYER in this country
whom we must not have against u.s.
Mr.. Nanny asked who the rnan was.
Mr.. Watson replied: abraham Lin
coln."
"Then send him retainer. Here is
81, O00.'' said Mr.. Nanny.
The money was sent. The case was
tried and appealed to the Supreme
Court. There Edwin NJ, Stanton was
employed to assist Mr.. Watson. Rev
erdy Johnson was one of the opposing
counsel. He met Mr.. Lincoln and
asked him if he was going to make a
speech in the case. Mr.. Lincoln replied
in the negative.
Mr.. johnson said: "A man of voar
reputation as lawyer should not keep
quiet in a case like this
Mr.. Lincoln replied, with a twinkle
in his eye: That's what they are pay
ing me for--to keep quiet.''
The case was argued. Three months
after a decision was given. 1t was
against the plaintiff. The decision
reached Rockford one day before the
death of John II. Nanny. The costs Of
that suit were $4,000
When Mr.. Lincoln, as President, felt
the need of man of iron for Secretary
of War, he rendered the portfolio to
Mr.. Stanton. Mr.. Stanton came to
Washington and had consultation
with Mr.. Watson. At that time Mr..
Stanton knew very little about Mr..
Lincoln. Mr.. Stanton asked Mr.. Wat
son if he thought MT. Lincoln had the
backbone to go through the ordeal.
Mr.. Watson said he had more back bone
than his party. Mr.. Stanton replied:
II will accept the place on one condi
tion--that you are made assistant
This was reported to Mr.. Lincoln and
the arrangement was made. Me-. Lin
coin knew men at first sight better than
Stanton. He had seen Stanton in the
lawsuit and had '.sized him up
so the great lawsuit of McC ormick VS..
the Nanny Reaper and Moving Com
panY threw these three men together
and the result was as has been shown.
Soon after the second Inauguration Of
Mr.. Lincoln, Mr.. Talcott called on him,
and in the conversation Mr.. Lincoln.
referring to the suit of Mccormick vs.,
Nanny, said: That ST. 900 sent me by
your firm enabled me to make the can
vass with Douglas
Mr.. Talcott is of the opinion that it
(the ST ,OOU) incidentally made Abraham
Lincoln President. Chicago Tribune.
