A LONDON telegram to the Chicago
Herald says: Ireland is to get cardi-
nails hat from Rome and Home Rule
bill from London, but it is safe to say
from present indications that she will be
satisfied with neither. The Home Rule
bill, it is now generally understood, will
not come up to the expectations of even
the most moderate Irish nationalists, it
crisis inside the cabinet is to be avert
ed, and the red hat will be given to one
of the least distinguished of the Irish
hierarchy, instead Of the Archbishop OF
Dublin. 1t is announced that the Most
Rev. Michael Logue, Archbishop of Ar
MACH and primate of all Ireland, and the
Most Rev. William Vaughan, Archbishop
Of Westminster, have received letters
notifying them that they will be made
cardinals at the coming papal consistory.
Archbishop Vaughan naturally fills
the place made vacant by the death OF
Cardinal Manning, being the head Of the
Catholic Church in England, but the
selection of Dr.. Logus instead of Arch
bishop Walsh is universally interpreted
as snub to the latter. His two prede-
cessors in the see of Dublin, neither of
whom was as distinguished q man, were
made cardinals, while no Archbishop of
Armagh has ever worn red hat. DR..
Logue is mild hammered, amiable old
man of no particular distinction, while
his Dublin confrere is one OF the ablest
of the English speaking Catholic pre-
lates. Both are Home Rulers, but DR..
Walsh has been rather more aggressive
and outspoken than the Armagh pre-
late. 1t is generally understood that DR..
Walsh's extreme course in the Parnel
conflict was dictated by strong pressure
from Rome, and, now that it has failed
to bring its reward, the faction he has so
fiercely assailed are rather openly ex-
pressing their qualification at his dis
appointment. There can be no doubt
that his claims were supported By the
American Catholic bishops, but he was
vigorously opposed by the English aris-
tocratic Catholics, led by the duke OF
Norfolk, who have infinitely more in1u-
enoe at the Vatican. There is great re-
joicing In the Tory clubs ct this sharp
snub to Archbishop Walsh.

w. T. HARRIS, Commissioner OF the
Bureau of Education, Washington, d. O.,
has addressed letter to Eric B. Dahl
gren, of New York City, concerning the
question of some mutually satisfactory
arrangement between Catholics and Pro-
testants in regard to the public schools
MI. Harris says in part: "While be-
lieve that the education in the public
schools should be entirely secular, yet 1
feel, with the majority OF Americans,
that there should be some arrangement
made by which the public school should
recognize in formal manner the import.
ance of religious education. I can think
cf NO better device than the one adopted
in the schools of st. Louis, where any
parent may obtain permit for his chill
dren to be absent on one or two occasions
each week, from the school for an hour
or more each time, in order to take les
sons IN religion at the neighboring parish
church. Very many Catholics in St.
Louis used to avail themselves of the
privilege, and I have always believed
that the formal recognition of the desir-
ability of religious lessons tended to
good result. Whatever may be the wis
dom or unwisdom of my personal views
in the matter, Z cordially agree with you
and with the views of the majority of the
people of all denominations in the desire
that the Catholic children should attend
the public schools and that some ar.
rangement might be made satisfactory

A GOOD STORY If 1T is TRUE.
How Two Gallant Soldiers Were Route,
During the War.

The recent reunion of old soldiers,
which reflected so much credit upon
the good people of Athens and gave
the survivors such pleasures as they
have rarely known, has turned our
thoughts toward the past and brought
out from the God-given storehouse of
memory many camp and battle scenes
with all the vividness of yesterday.
Among Others i have been reminded
of one in which the mayor of Atlanta
and the ordinary of Newton county
were made the victims of a plot, which,
it is hoped, they will not think too
mean to tell, after the lapse of nearly
thirty years.
1t occurred in the early spring of
'65, when the Troup Artillery was yet
in winter quarters at Camp Galloway,
in Carolina county, Virginia.
Two or three miles from our camp
lived gentleman who had refugeed
with his family from Fredericksburg.
In that family were three very intel1i-
gent and attractive young ladies. Two
of them were especially lovely in the
eyes of the aforesaid mayor and ordi-
nary. Or, perhaps. l had better say
one of them, for it was told and be-
lieved in camp that they both fancied
the second daughter, and each tried
to make the other believe that he was
in love with the eldest.
Right here l am reminded that our
brave and stoical chaplain, G.. J. O.,
now of Atlanta, was led captive by the
charms of this same second daughter.
But to the story.
One afternoon, while this writer was
by in his tent reading, Lee Lyle and
Bill Dearing came running in, laugh
ing mischievously. and saying: Jim,
we've got trick on hand, and want
you to help us carry it out. Will you
do it?"
"Let me know what it is, and I'll
tell you"
Hump and Ellington are going to
see the As tonight, and we want
to go and set 'em out"
what do you want to do with me?
| There will be but two young ladies in
the parlor."
"We are afraid Miss H may be
there, and we want you to engage
her."
"That will scare me as bad as a
Yankee battery"
well, we'll see that you are not
hurt"
This aforementioned lady was beau
tiful girl, just well into her teens.
After a while arrangements were
completed, and about dark, when our
two gallants had been on the road
some minutes, we started out, arriving
! just in time to see through an open
window the young ladies shake hands
and take their seats. Lyle Immediate

Our two friends, who were men of
deeds rather than words, soon gave up
the fight and returned to camp long
before their usual time of leaving.

so often faced the storms of shot and

A woman who has sympathetically

CHAT WITH A coNJuRER.
Chief Essentials for First Glass Presttdigf-
tation-Causipg an Elephant to
Disappear.

"What do you consider to be the
chief essentials required in the making
of good coniurer?" I asked the
"iongleur," Servias le Roy, as we sat
together behind the stage of the Royal
aquariam, says a writer in London
Tft-BitS.
He replied at once: "Dexterity, fin
ish, originality, presence of mind. A
coniurer must never be nonplussed
or, at all events, he must never show
it. You noticed just now the trick in
which l shake 1900 flowers out of a
small paper cone? Well, l will tell
you how that is done, and how near
ly came to grief over it few days ago.

out so large and real-looking, are col
lapsible, and are really tied up in a
small bundle, which 1 easily conceal
about my person. The other day, to
my horror l found they were loose,
and therefore impossible to be placed
inside the cone. Quite coolly, how
ever, I turned to the stage manager,
and called to him in an undertone to
lower the curtain. This he proceeded
to do. 1 pretended to think it was
coming down too soon. 1 grew loudly
angry. No good; down came the cur

second bundle of flowers, which was

HE TELLS THESE.
An Old Whaler's Delightful Way of EEter-
tanning Summer Visitors.

A number of ancient fisherman were
telling stories of their early days in
the quaiut little village of Siasconset,
says the Detroit Free Press. There
were a number of summer visitors in
the room, and they seemed to enjoy
the yarns which were being spun i'm
mensely. FINALLY an old dried-up
man, with purple wen on his neck
and handful of white chin whiskers,
said:
Talk about the whaling days in
Siasconset, why l can remember when
the whales were so thick around here
that it was a common thing for them
to crawl upon the shore like turtles to
sun themselves"
"How long ago was that?" asked an
anxious bystander.
"About forty years ago." replied the
old man, "and in those days the whales
had oil in them, too, that was worth
talking about. I have seen them tap a
whale and by the time the oil was out
of him there didn't seem to be skin
enough left to cover baseball. But
now they are kinder non-explosive.
"What do you mean by non-explos-
ivep" asked bystander, as he handed
the hoary grandsire of Siasconset a
flask with which to warm himself.
81 mean" replied the Siasconseter,
as he handed the flask back with a
smile, "that the whales used to be so
full of oil that if you put wick in one
of them and lit it it would burn for al
most six months"
The crowd became very attentive as
the old man confined:
"We used to burn chuncks of whale
in the stove and it made the finest fire
you ever saw. We had a whale, or
part of one hanging up like sheep in
the back yard, and whenever we want
ed to start a fire we would just step out
with hatchet and chop chunk or
two that would fit the stove"
Have another drink" interrupted
the man with the flask.
"Don't mind if 1 do" replied the an
cient Siasconseter.
Here he took good pull, and hand
ing the flask back, continued in sad,
reflective tone.
81 once knew an old whaler who has
been dead a great many years. His
end was very sad"
"How did he dieP" asked bystander
"Killed by whale" said the grand
sire of Siasconset.
"Out on the water. of course" sug-
gested the stranger.
mo. out in his back yard"
"Hit him with his tailP"
"No," replied the Siasconst roman
Ger. "You see the old man hauled off at
the whale with his hatchet-"
"And the whale bit him in half. be-
fore he cOuld Strikepn
"Not much; the whale was dead"
"Then how could he have killed your
ancient friend?"
"This way" said the old man, de-
liberately; "he dropped spark by ac-
c1dent out of his pipe upon the whale.
The whale exploded like a kerosene
oil lamp, and scattered my friend from
Siasconset to Tuckahoe, AS it was
night the ocean was lighted up for
miles, and over at Martha's Vineyard
they thought Nantucket was having its
first volcano. l tell you, the whales
in those days we're" Here the old
Siasconseter looked around, to find
that all his hearers had slipped softly
away, the summer visitors, in all prob
ability, overcome by his graceful,
easy-going style of dealing with the
truth, and his compatriots sick to the
core with envy.

GEORGES SANDS CHARMS.
But the Painter Delacroix Remained In
different to Their Vaccinations.

Paul de Musset, perhaps as kind
of revenge for the wrongs suffered by
his brother, once gave an amusing de-
scription of the miscarried attempt of
Georges Sand to met" Eugene Della
croiX.
1t would appear that the painter
had shown signs of yielding to the
charms which few men were able to
withstand, or, at any rate, that Georges
Sand fancied she could detect such
signs. Whether twas from wish on
Georges Sands part to precipitate
matters or to nip the thing in the bud,
it would be difficult to determine, but
it is certain that she pursued her usual
tactics-that is, she endeavored to
provoke an admission of her admirers
feeling. Though I subsequently as
certained that Paul de Musset's story
was subsequently true, l am not alto
gether prepared, knowing his animos-
ity against her, to accept his limited
theory of the lady's desire ode brus-
quer les fancailles."
One morning, then, while Delacroix
was at work, Georges Sand entered his
studio. She looked out of spirits and
almost immediately stated the pur-
pose of her visit.
"My poor Eugene!" she began; 81
am afraid I have got sad news for
you"
"Oh, indeed,s said Delacroix, with
out interrupting his work, and just
giving her one of his cordial smiles in
guise of welcome.
"Yes, my dear friend, I have care
fully consulted my own heart and the
upshot is, l am grieved to tell you,
that feel cannot and could never
love you"
Delacroix kept on painting. ais
that fact?" he said.
"Yes, and I ask you once more to
pardon me and to give me credit for
my candor-my poor Delacroix"
Delacroix did not bulge from his
easel.
You are angry with me, are you
not? You will never forgive me?"
Certainly will. Only want you
to keep quiet for ten minutes; 1 have
got bit of sky there which has caused
me good deal of trouble; it is just
coming right. Go and sit down or
else take a little walk, and come back
in ten minutes"
OF course Georges Sand did not re-
turn; and equally, of course, did not
tell the story to any one, but some
how it leaked out. Jenny Leguillou
had overheard the scene-she was
quite capable of listening behind a
screen or door-and reported it. Del
acroix himself, when "chaffed" about
it, never denied it. There was no
need for him to do so, because theoret-
ically it redounded to the lady's honor;
had she not rejected his advances?-
