Mrs. Thatcher and Miss Nitehell Tell o
the 'sCruel Whipping


the .sCruel Whipping"
Mrs. Kate Thatcher principal, and
Miss Ella Mitchell, assistant of public
school No IL, stated this morning, in
regard to the whipping OF Harry Elliott,
aged 10 years, for which they were
brought before Squire Monaghan
on Saturday morning that the charge Of
cruelty made against them by Special
Agent Frank Stout of the s. P. c. c.. was
regarded by everybody as bordering on
an absurdity, by the people of that neigh
borhood.
''The boys behavior was repeatedly
complained of to his parents, and few
weeks ago the mother told the teachers
to whip the boy if they could not con
troll him otherwise We refrained from
doing this until we discovered him in
the school grounds, fighting small
boy He was then taken to an adjourn
ing room, where Mrs. Thatcher admins
tered several blows on the tops of the
boys heavy boots with rattan and only
allowed few OF the blows 10 strike his
limbs.
The whole trouble which has originated
from the matter is supposed to have been
caused by large boy, who has wide
reputation among the scholars for being
a notorious liar When he saw the
whipping he ran from the building
and notified the bows mother, telling her
that her boy was being beaten to death
with heavy club by Mrs. Thatcher
When the woman had heard the story
and had gotten ready to come down to
the school, her own boy arrived, yelling
like crazy child. She hurried down to the
school and stood in the hall way while
the scholars were coming out, beTating
the teachers and calling them names,
which they say that they will not re-
peat. Mrs. Thatcher says that when
she came to the head Of the stairs to as
certain the cause of the disturbance the
enraged woman challenged her to come
down, and said If you come down here,
I'll kill you
The teachers are emphatically loud in
their expressions of contempt at the way
they were treated by Agent Stout They
state that when he called at the school
and heard the evidence in the
case, he laughingly said that
the only grounds he saw in the case fol
legal proceedings, were case Of disor.
derly conduct against Mrs Elliott. The
women were kept in total ignorance of
the case against them until the summons
to appear before Squire Monaghan was
received. 1t was then too late to procure
evidence and all they could do was tC
employ lawyer to plead for postpone
meHt of the case.

How Foolish King Accidentally Did n
Wise Thing, to the Benefit of Ireland
and America-The Blood of Two Races
Combined to Make a Splendid Third
King James II, of doubtful memory,
did at least one very good thing, though
some writers assert that it was done by
accident and because he was just then
angry with his noblemen. The wars of
Tirlogh O'Neill and other chieftains of
the north against Queen Elizabeth and
the horrible retribution exacted had left
Ulster almost an uninhabited waste.
King James refused to grant the aban-
doned lands TO royal favorites and great
soldiers as his predecessors had done. or
TO discarded mistresses and court syco-
plants as William of Orange afterwards
did. (See Macaulay's account OF the lat
ter.) King James declared he wccld
have the country settled with men, and
that the cultivatcr should own the land
or have some permanent tenure.
1t was q perfect success. Some tracts
were settled entirely with English and
Scotch. others with enterpris;ng Irish,
but still more with mixture of the
two. Each race supplied what the
other lacked, and the result Is the
Scotch-Irish race. There is a theory
that the true Irish came originally
from southern land and retain many of
the faults and virtues OF a southern peo-
pie. The Highland Scotchman, on the
other hand, was almost totally destitute
of wit and humor; poetry he had in rude
abundance, but very Estle appreciation
of art. His contribution to the common
stock was the habit of untiring industry.
Both races agreed in undying opposition
to tyranny.
What a pity there was not in England
wisdom enough to allow two such races
to blend in peace-a pity for Ireland, but
her loss has been Americas gain.
Their factions, says Sir Walter Scott,
shave been so long envenome6, and
they have such a narrow ground to do
their battle in, that they are like people
fighting with daggers in hogshead. "
In Ireland their disposition to contend
for what they believed right was turned
into curse; in America they soon made
common cause against their common up
pressor. And the chow of it, is che of
the most curious things in history.
If any one had said in 1892 that Brit
ish parliament could succeed in exiting
&c., 900 Protestant Irish and perhaps an
equal number of Catholic Irish in such
a way as to make them fight side by side
with Catholic Frenchmen and non-sec-

O'Brien's house.
The village was on the tiptoe of ex-
element to learn what all this meant.
Some said that perhaps the stranger was
going to buy the farm, as O'Brien in
tended going TO America.
But before evening they all knew what
had happened. The farm was bought,
but it was Myles who purchased it. 1t
was the best farm in the parish, and ev-
erybody was secretly pleased that their
favorite should "come into the place"
when Jimmy O'Brien went to America.
But everybody was anxious to know how
or where Myles got the money to pay for
it. Perhaps had better tell it for him.
His friend, Tom Mccarthy, had been in
America for several years, and had at
the gold diggings accumulated large
fortune. He came home to see his par
ents, but they were both dead, and
Myles was the only friend of his boyhood
who remained,
