At the Battle of Corinth.

This story is told of Father, now Arch
bishop, John Ireland, when he was chap
lain of the Fifth Minnesota during the
war: When the storm of the battle at
this point was at it's height, suddenly
the cry went out for ammunition. Many
of the soldiers had exhausted their forty
rounds were replenishiDg their car
fridge boxes from those of their dead
comrades. 1t was here and at this time
and under these circumstances that there
appeared smooth shaven and strong
hearted man, bearing upon his shoulders
a box of cartridges, yelling out at the
top of his voice as he passed along IN the
rear of the line of battle: "Here are
cartridges for you, boys
He passed rapidly along the line, hur-
riedly reaching back and grabbing a
handful, throwing them into their haver-
sacks or boxes, and again turned, with
replenished ammunition, upon the ad
yancing enemy. AS the leaden hail
visits were repeated u til every soldier
was supplied with ammunition. That
smooth shaven man was Father Ireland.
Any man who has ever faced bullets on
a battlefield knows that it requires
more courage for non-combatant to ap-
pear there than it does for soldier
armed with a clean Enfield and forty
rounds of ammunition.
The kind of courage exhibited under
such circumstances knows no such thing
as defeat. Father Ireland's duty as q
chaplain did not call him to that surging
line of battle, but the urgency of the
case called for somebody to act, and
voluntarily and unasked he responded
If during the dark days from 1861 to 1864
there was similar exhibition of courage
by a chaplain in either army, the writer
has never heard of it.

civilizations and of all nations, the per
manent motive power Of light and of life
of justice and well-being.
No power in this world has understood
as the Papacy has, the conditions Of the
times. Each epoch has, in fact, it's ten
denotes, its desires, it's instincts, It's
wants, it's greatness and it's weakness, it's
| wounds and its remedies, its currents
which are. ordinarily, summed up in two
or three sentiments the outcome Of
which fashions the future
'l4eo XIII. has understood his time,"
continues the Moniteur, describing in
eloquent language the greatness of the
Pontiff's work, and notes thai it is here
with his words of fire that the ilustrious
pilgrim, acquainted with the Old and the
New World, has interpreted the senti-
ment Of his time for Rome and the Pope.
Mgr. Ireland knows all the persons of
celebrity, says the Moniteur; he re-
ceives the confidence OF Protestants as
we'll as the testimony OF Catholics. And
this guest Of Rome has rendered homage
to the Papacy. He has depicted it as
progressive, filing the world with it's
grandeur and it's name, the sole power of
che future, filing Rome also with Its
majesty Rome, the free, universal city,
the patrimony of Christianity, the on,,y
corner of the earth necessary TO liberty
and to civilization. And penetrated with
this double mission of the Urbs, Mgr.
ireland has repeated the cry Of the poet:
80 Rome, city Of the soul'"
This discourse, and the organ of the
Vatican, touches the chief problems Of
our time. ''If philosopher, if theolo-
gian, should develop these conceptions
in work, there would be in it the best
book on the Papacy and on Leo XIII"
Describing the discourse, this journal
says that it contained world of concep-
tions and OF sentiments upon the part
filled by the Papacy and the greatness Of
the present Pontifcate; and this world

one day develop all the teachings which
belong to his subject. His is one Of those
rare minds which have wholly understood
Leo XIII. Tt will be his chiefest task
to apply the ideas which form the es-
sence ct the Pontificial policy.
Such is the discourse. It is an act,
because it is a testimony of the first
order. Whom St. Boniface came from
the heart Of Germany to Rome, to relate
to Gregory II. the conquests of his apos-
tolate, the disciplined and apostolic
Englishman also spoke in the churches
of Rome. Today it is the founders of
the New World, the apostles from the
centre Of America, who come TO eli this
city with the accents of their faith and
with the marvels of their conquests.

A THRILLING TRIP.
Hardships Of a Congressional Flu
neral Party.
Driving Across Kentucky Mountains
in Blizzard-ManY Narrow Es-
capes-SeveraI Injured.
A R0UGH EXPERIENCES.

WASHINGTON, March l6.-The con-
gressional funeral of the late Repre-
sentative Kendall, of Kentucky, from
which the committee has just returned,
resulted in an extraordinary tale of
suffering and exposure. The commit
tee appointed to escort the body con-
sisted of Senators Warren and Pasco
and Representatives John b. Fellows,
of New York, Belknap, Paynter, Gil
lespie and Long.
Across the Mountains.
The funeral party arrived at Moore
head, Ky, which was the last railroad
station on their route. Their final des-
tination was 80 miles away, between
Moorehead and Liberty There are
no roads traversing the mountains,
nor are there any bridges crossing the
innumerable rivers ana streams. The
weather was intensely cold and the
streams We're swollen.
Remarkable Difficulties.
Before the hearse and the wagons
containing the committee had fairly
started Representative Fellows re-
turned to Moorehead. a few miles
farther on senator Warren, OF
Wyoming, succumbed to cold and ex-
haustion and was left in mountain.
GERS hut to await the party's return
One river, the Iokum, crossed the path
of the party forty-two times. Each time
it was necessary to ford the icy
stream and there was danger at times
that the coffin would be washed away
The members of the party during these
eighty-four fords which it was neces-
sary to make going and returning were
frequently up TO their waists in the
chilly water. The provisions were
frozen and the party had nothing to
eat for a day. When going down hill
it was necessary to tie rope around
the hearse to keep it from plunging
down the steep declivities, and this
rope was trailed TO the rear so that
the members of the party might take
it in hand and steady the plunging
hearse. When the destination was
finally reached late the following
evening the hearse was entirely
wrecked and the coffin rested upon
the axle-trees. The coffin itself was
so badly broken that the corpse was
exposed.
Senator Pasco's Injury.
Senator Pasco, while holding onto
the rope attached to the hearse had one
of the fingers of the left hand broken
and the hand so badly lacerated that he
will not be able to use it for som,
time. One of the ladies was severely
frostbitten and had to be lifted out OF
the carriage.

PARIS, March 16.-Fear of the arar-

view of the attempt at 1:25 a. m. to
blow up the Lobeau barracks, former
ly occupied by the republican
guard, and in the rear of the Hotel de
Vile. ii the dynamiters intended
the destruction of the barracks, they
did not use a sufficient quantity of the
explosive, as, while many windows
We're shattered, the damage was other
wise slight. 1t is believed that the
dynamiters intended the explosion
as a menace or warning that
their next attempt might be upon
the Hotel de Vile itself The authori-
ties have been busy endeavoring to as.
certain the cause of the explosion. as
there is not yet positive evidence of its
character. No doubt, however, is en-.
tertained that the explosion is the work
of anarchists.
