IN MEMORIAM
on tl,e Death of aIrs. Iunius sIcGehee.

On the Death of Mrs. Juntus McGehee.
The following touching tribute to
the memory of the late Mrs. Junius
McGehee is taken from the Catholic
Mirror of Saturday.
ROANOKE, Aug. 20, 1890.
Seldom has our community been
visited by greater sorrow than III
the death of Hester White McGehee,
which occurred yesterday ut s q. m,
amid the consultations of her holy re-
ligion, and the untiring devotion of
sorrowing family and friends. She
had been i'll for two months and was
thought very much better, when she
was afflicted with paralysis, which
went gradually to the brain, and she
fingered as if 10th to leave heart
broken mother, a most devoted
husband, two loving sisters and
brothers, and Fix charming children.
And, as if mindful of her great love
for all, her heavenly Father left that
bright mind unclouded so she could
take II last loving look at the treasures
of that maternal love before giving
them back to Him who rewarded her
labors by taking her to Himself.
Her funeral took place this after
noon from st. Andrews church, con-
Quoted by Rev. j. w. Lynch, who
paid an excellent tribute to the many
virtues of the deceased. The honor

Noble Mrs. Mctiehee was born at
Sweet Springs, w. Va, August 4th,
| lS49 of Edward and Catherine White,
earliest Irish Catholic settlers, edu-
Gated at home, in the country, thor
oughly grounded in Catholic doctrine,
married about sixteen years ago to
Junius McGeIee, who was at that
time non-Catholics but was after
ward received into the church by R-v.
j. w. Lynch. Amid her many house
hold duties she still found time for
literary pursuits. Buried Alive"

book, Glen Mary have all been
highly commended Possessed Of II
lively, intelligent faith, fl above the
average in brilliant attanments, full
of charity toward those in distress, n
woman of so much character that !.
can better describe her in the lines of
Tennyson.

lis only noble to he good;
Kind hearts are more than cOrOnCtS.
And simple faith than Norman blood.
She taught select school for Il
number of years at Trevilliaas, Va,
and many of the young ladies of the
ncighborhood owe their high culture
TO the deceased. And when her lot
was cast in Roanoke she was the first
TO organize the st. Andrews parish
school, and all who know anything
OF such work can fully appreciate her
labors. Herself and her sister, Miss
White. spared no pains and in a few
months had parish school that
would have done credit to any church.
Her organization of the school in
spired new era of faith in the young,
and for the short time she had been
in Roanoke few were so we'll or SO fav
orably known; but could write
volumes on the noble trials of char
acter of her who was always an
obedient daughter, devoted wife
and mother, 4 friend TO the triendless
and an ornament TO society. Re-
quiescat in peace. Al. j. K.

A TOUCH INDIAN.
What . Red Man Full OF Whiskey Went
Through.

To show what an Indian can stand,
when he has to, may tell of an incl
dent which happened during the VIM
ter was with them. Towards eve
ming. on very cold Winter day, when
it was showing just little and drifting
a great deal. an Indian came to the log
house with half a jug full of whisky
and his rifle. imagine that the jug
had been entirely full of whisky when
he started and by the time he got to
the house he was in rather a jolly con-
dition. The jug and the rifle were
taken away from him and he was
ordered to get to his wigwam rs quick
as he could before darkness came on.
He left, and was supposed to have
gone to the camp. but early next MORN
ing his squaw appeared at the house
and said that he had not come home
that night. and as the night was very
cold she had been anxious about him.
Then the search for the lost Indian be-
gan. He was found in one of the sheds
near the barn, under heap of drifted
snow, and the. chances are that the
snow that was above him had helped to
save his life. The searchers for the
Indian had gone in different directions.
and it was his own squaw who. with
true Indian instinct. had tracked him
out, and she was alone when she found
him. Apparently the Indian was a
frozen corpse. She tumbled him out
of his snow bank and pulled off his
blankets, and dragged him down to the
creek, where deep hole was cut in the
ice for the purpose of watering the
cattle. Laying the Indian out on the
snow she took the pan that was beside
the ice-hole and. filling it repeatedly,
dashed pailful after pailful of ice water
over the body of the Indian. By the
time the other unsuccessful searchers
had returned she had her old man
thawed out and seated by the fire wrap
ped up in blankets. There is no
question that if he had been found by
the others and had been taken into the
house frozen as he was he would have

A Singular Fly.

On State EntOmologist Lintner's desk
in the capitol. says an Albany letter tc
N. 7. Times, is jelly glass which con.
tains several hundreds of exceedingly
lively small flies. When asked about
them Prof. Lintner said they were sent
to him by lady from Au Sable
Forks. who thought they were very
curious insects, since frost can not kill
them. The doctor said:
''They have been living by thousands
all the winter on the windows of (,
room without fire. She first saw them
eight years ago and each year since
then they have made their appearance,
first on the brick wall outside in the
month of August. and later in the
house. and always in this one room.
No other house in the place has them.
This is the third instance in which have
heard of this fly infesting dwelling
houses. The first was at Franklin, N.
H., where it enters certain house each
year in August, literally by millions, to
the great annoyance of the family, who
resort to every known means to reduce
its numbers, but without success, ap-
parently. and the flies regularly leave
during the latter part of April.
"A house in Alfred Center, n. Y, is
the other place where it is known that
the flies appear. The fly belongs to q
family many of which are known to
feed in the stems and roots of grains.
Where this breeds has not vet been
found out. The strangest thing about
it is that it shows an instinct even more
wonderful than the carrier pigeon,
which leads the young flies as soon as
they are Matched in the field to make
their way to the house and the identi-
cal room that their parents had oc-
cupied during the autumn and winter
before.
'Some specimens of the New Hamp-
shire flies were sent by me to Baron
Ostcn Sackcn of Heidelberg. Germany,
to see if they had the same species In
Europe. About half dozen instances
of regular asscmblagcs of similar
species are recorded in European
scientific publications. but as they
seemed to be different from ours, at
my request. Baron Osten Sacken de.
scribed our species and named it chloro-
sopisca prolifica. 1t certainly is won.

were disappointed that Hon. Lucien Ba-

the cause of his non-appearance, it was
excusable. Mr.. Payne. however, caused
all disappointment to melt away Ms soon
as he began speaking. He is Q fluent
and eloquent speaker and the way
he sailed into the prohibition question
was delight to democrats and resub-
mission republicans, but q source OF
worry and SORROW to the opposition. The
speaker said he used NO gloves in hand
ling the question. and no one doubted it
when he had finished. The speech was
replete with wit. sarcasm and hard, cold
facts. and it stiffened the backbone of u
good many republicans whose party ties
threatened to get them back into the old
ruts. Nf Mr.. Payne should ever visit
this city again. he will face an audience
which. for numbers. will be credit to
any speaker.
