The "Ca,hoiic riots OF 1914 were disturbances in tho
Ksnsnxton and southwark divisions OF Philadelphia.
From the name. II would seem that the Roman Catholics
caused tho trouble: but it is probable that the Native
Americana" started 1t. The disturbances lasted for
some time two Roman Catholic cburchs. were burned.
the military were called out. and several lives were
lost. Brig Gen Roumfort. and d. Il. Porter Of rhila.
deiphii were prominent in supprossing the riots, and
the latter received n vote Of thanks from tho city for
his services: and Judge Parsons Of the Court Of Com.
mon Pleas administered %anopathic doses OF law ani
justice to tho rioters. whose friends repeatedly
threatened his life. As to tho riots of 1867, We think
you must have mistaken the date. Tho railroad riots

from the coast or Jamaica. she WAS taken to Cuba.
where her cargo of arms. ammunition. and men for the
insurgents Was seized. The passengers aud crew
were tried by court martial. and about sixty of
them were shot. between Nov. 4 and 7. Gen. SicLles
protested 10 the Spanish Government. demanding that
tho vessel be returned to its American owners.
the United states fay be sa!u,ed. the sur.
vivors released. and reparation made. Tho spanish
Government proved that the vessel was not entitled to
fly our flag. 80 the salute VAS dispensed with. The Viz.
ginius was surrendered to the United states on Dec. 10.
and foundrred at sea on her way 10 New York about
Dec, 20. 1873. No indemnity was paid. as 1t was shown
that the passengers were insurgents against q country
with which tho United states was at peace. and that
the spaniards were justified In selling her.

ingredient is added which completes tho Ink. We

applied. and disappear again: but writing done In a
dilute solution of chloride OF copper appears under
heat, and disappears again. Writing done In solutions
