PREsIoE, MIMI, Aug. Ie.-The
people Of Canton, this county, are in a
fever of excitement over a picture
which has suddenly appeared 10 the
little round window high Up in the
sieepIe Of the Roman Catholic church
at that place. The picture is that of
grotto 10 which is the form of a
woman, with her infant lying on her
left arm, while jnst 10 front AID slightly
above the woman is another face look
ing down at the pair. The woman
10 dressed in loose white robe, has
long black hair and a lovely face
The child is not so plainly visible,
while the third face is that of q
bearded man. This is jnst Is the
picture looked Last Thursday morning.
The picture was frst discovered BY
little girl week ago last Sunday,
and has since been viewed by han.
dreds Of curious people, while some
who have looked for it have been
unable 10 see II. The glass has beer
carefully washed inside and ont By

Father Jones, pastor Of the parish

Yesterday being the anniversary of
Oak Hills, the second general engage
ment Of the late war, the few Survivors
Of the Third Louisiana Infantry were
recalling "reminiscences of that battle
and their first baptism Of ERE. This
drew forth some eommsniS by the
Virginia campaigneFB.
Eyes said 8 veteran Of Lees army,
'the Yankees caught The members Of
The Louisiana regiment stealing roast
ing ears from corn feld," where the
opening fight ocenred ''and proceeded
to drive them ont"
''If they did" reiorted the Louisi-
anisn, '.ihs ears had blue shueks and
the invaders captured their corn"
"Preeisely," remarked second
member of the famous regiment, and
the Ere was so hot from both sides,
that the roasting ears we're cooked,
and al The LOnisianians had to do was
70 pluck and eat them"
The Virginia soldier collapsed, and
the reporter left the vicinity of these
old veterans disputes And wonderful
war stories.

Plaayuns,
The Republican psprrs have never
baen able ID agree fully On she ieFce
bfIl. a. We have already noted, q
large number Of Republican voterz,
Darticnlarly 10 ihoas foNns DONG =
5asinsas With the south, o. having
capital invested here, have, from the
start, opposed the bill as likely to do
harm BY stirring up political troubles:
and the FisWs of these people are
echoed by portion Of tle Republican
press. Considerable discussion is
going Of jnal row over ihis question
among snek of those Republican papers
that vii diseuss II, for many think il
inadvisable to talk too much about
the matter, and believe the isaue ought
not 10 DO pressed too much.
Among the strongest opponents of
the bill has been that stalwart Rspnb-
iican CITY, Philadelphia, which bias more
capital invested 10 the a0uth than any
northern city. The Philadelphia Batt
isfin ID strong opponent Of the bill
and says, apr0pes Of Congressman
Lodges silence on Il
aIt ls undoubtedly true that the
practicai valas Of any force bill is
being doubted by more Republicans
every day. Northern capital and emf

II ID 40 fhese ageneleB that more CON
seryaiiYs Republicans look TO right
the wrong, and If Congressman Ledge
has joined this number be has in all
probability adopted the wiser conrse."
Al We have noted, most Of the Re
publican papers dodge this IHsue, bnt
there are soms who rush forward TO
defend and support The bill, and de-
clare il necessary, especially since the
Alabama election.
The New Haven Palladium, for 10.

remarks concerning It,:
The question Of free suffrage aud
honest elections Is one that takes hold
of the foundations of oRr system Of

there is NO doubt that the most earnest

This Is far more likely 10 be the
lFnth than what tbe Phiiadelphia Bal

the most absolutely protected of all.
Thus bricklayers are absolutely protect.
ed by the fact that it is impossible to inn
port completed brick houses or ten-story
Office buildings from London to Liver
pool. Horseshoers are protected by tho
impossibility of sending horses across
the ocean every time that they need to
be shod. Painters are are protected be-
cause it is not practicable to send houses
to England for n fresh coat of paint
when they become weather beaten.
Railway engineers and firemen are pro-
tected because the cheaply manned Eng
lish locomotives cannot be run in over
American rails. All of these classes
of "non-protected" workers receive
far more complete and effective pro-
lection than the wool and cotton oper-
atives and the men in the Carnegie iron
foundries can employ. Moreover, these
briclzlayers and horseshoes and painters
and railroad men are protected by the
fact that the tariff guarantees our great
productive industries large home mar
ket and keeps the operatives employed
at living wages. Destroy our manufac-
turing by free trade and you would drive
these hundreds of thousands of oper-
atives into other occupations. Intelli-
gent working people know what that
would mean. They know that with an
enormous surplus of unemployed labor
seeking employment to save it from star
walton, wages would be bound to tumble
all along the line.

IRELAND AND FREE TRADE.
Kysm the Nsw Yeyk Adysytisey.

F,ow the Nsw Pork Adv<yfissy.
One of the strangest anomalies of po.-
itics in this country is that so many
Irishmen are found in the ranks of the
free trade party.
There is but one country on earth
whose settled policy is free trade and
that country is England the hereditary
foe of Ireland and her oppressor for GEN.
turtles.
One would think that the Irish-Ameri-
can, SO hostile to the Englishman in all
other respects. would think twice before
becoming his disciple in economics.
And whatever an Irishman's theories
may be as to protection and free trade
as abstract principles, it is difficult to
understand how completely the Irish
Democrat has forgotten the absolutely
whitening effect British free trade has
had upon Irish prosperity.
Blessed with rich soil, admirably
adapted for the raising OF cattle and Of
grain, the crushing weight of English
competition under free trade, has driven
into exile millions of the people of Ire
land and reduced to extreme poverty
those who have remained at home.
And the fate of Ireland is an over
whelming answer to all such as main
tain that free trade is advantageous
to regions essentially agricultural.
Ireland was and is eminently adapted
to agriculture. But, unable to estab-
lish manufactures in the teeth of
the crushing competition of her neigh
Dor and forced to rely on agriculture
alone, she is to-day an overwhelming
proof of the absolute necessity to every
country of that home market that
springs from varied industries.
Recent events show that the Southern
states are awakening to the fallacy upon
which they have been fed for years that
protection is a curse to the farmer.
Will not our Irish fellow-citizens, taught
by the history of their own downtrod-
