Death of Miss Lucy Henry.

DEAN OF MISS Lucy fienry.
Miss Lucy Henry, Oldest daughter
Of Mrs. Kate Henry, Of near this city,
died very suddenly on the night of
August 2Sth. Her death was one of
peculiar sadness and distressing cir
cumstances. Only forty sight hours
before she took part in the wedding
festivities of young lady relative and
as she appeared at the church and at
the gathering that followed she was
tine very picture of health and wom-
anly beauty. Possessing magnifi-
cent physique, tall, graceful and well
proportioned; with a pleasant and
a happy smile for all and a disposi-
tion ever sweet and amiable, she
was a universal favorite with all
who knew her. Popular in society
idolized in the home circle and usefu
in her church duties, her loss will b'
severely felt, II seelps hard indeet
for her loved ones to reconcile them
selves TO her loss. Cut down on th,
threshold Of womanhood, young ii
years, cultivated in mind and accom-
plished in all the graees that NAL
her sex attractive, her life seemed dc
stincd to be one unbroken period o
happy promise.
Her funeral services wore held al
the Ninth Street Presbyterian churcl
on Saturday morning and DIR. Nourse'
discourse was one peculiarly touchin,
and appropriate. Many friends follow
ed the remains to the grave, and lovel,
and charming young lady lives onl.
! in the memory Of her friends.

"ERIN GO BRAGH."
War Cries Which Were Once Heard Wher-
ever Irishmen DwelIed.

ever 1EASnmSn OWcleus
From Mr.. Charles de Kay's Irish
Kings and Brehons," /" in the Century,
we quote as follows: "War-cries, meant
originally to keep the fighting men
aware of the place of their own clan
in battle, or when scattered in woods
and hills, came down to the baronial
period and were used by the Anglo
Norman mobiles out of consideration
for their Gaelic retainers. The COM
monest shout was some name of ia
nous place or famous man with the
addition G600, a word well fitted for
the clamor of band of fighters, being
at once more musical and less weary
ing to the voice than our 'shurrah. )"
The Kildare retainers cried 'Cr0na aboot'
in honor of Crom Castle, citadel in
Limerick County, originally strong
hold of the O'Donovans, which one Of
the intrusive Geraldine families, named
after the town of Kildare, occupied while
turning Irish. The O'Neills cried out.
'LdaoU ddreg Gbo0h because the Lawv
dareg or Red Hand was the badge of the
family and clan. The O'Briens cried,
'LasoU LaideTi' or 'LGuClir a6o0f or Strong
Hand Aboop The translator of Geoffrev
Keating's History of Ireland, suggests
as the meaning of ab00 the Irish word
booa, victory; but analogy would point
rather to boa (6eotha) lively, awake, spir-
tied; when Gboo would be an exclama-
tion like the French GJertei and Uicei A
parallel in Irish is the well-known Erin
90 bra! Erin till Judgment dayp where
90 bra, forever, implies the same idea of
living which the word be0thG actually
contains, since the latter is the Keltic
equivalent of Greek bios. 'Yabut' is the
exclamation of Tartar horsemen when
urging their steeds forward. While on
this topic it may be interesting to note
that this Irish word, or its Welsh equiv
ament gao bgac, corrupted to boo and b0h,
is found in our eolloquial expression,
He doesn't dare say boo to a goose;' in
other words, he is too cowardly to sound
his war-cry in the presence of the most
peaceful of creatures"

When the electric lights in the out
skirts of the tow fash out the toads in
the neighborhood know that their sup
per time is come, and they hurry to the
feast. A lady, relating an experience
similar to that Of other observant per-
sons, tells how she was recently
waiting in a carriage near an electric
lamp, which had just been lighted,
while her friend went to neighboring
shop. In the dry road she presently saw
a stir, and looking over the wheels saw
hopping in all directions across and
around toads aiming for the light She
saw, on going nearer, that there was a
ring of toads underneath the light al
ready waiting for the fall Of moths and
the insects Of night that drop from the

sight-those creatures squatted in a cir
Gle, with upturned heads. waiting for

When I ran against Prejudice
That quite out of my view.
My worg was such as could not waiA
NY pathway clearly showed,
NJ strength and time were limited,
carried quite load
And there that hulking Prejudice
Sat all across the roadl
So I spoke to him politely
For he was huge and high,
Suggesting that he move a bit
And let me travel by.
He smiled, but as for moving3
He didn't even try!
Then Ireasoned VeeS quietly
With that colossal mule.
No other roa0-my time was short-
The mopltain winds were cool;

He sat there like fool.
Then few into a passion,
danced and hoWled and SWore,
pelted and belabored him
Till was stiff and sore.
He got as mad as did,
But he sat there as before.
And then I begged him on my knees
might be kAeeling still,
Ifso l hoped % move that mass
OF ebdOfate ill-will
AS well invite the monument.
To vacate Bunker Hill.
SO I sat before him helpless,
In an eestacY of woe:
