a heavy basket oftools and food over

which the landlords agent keep SO
neatly without, but whose interior is
apt to be cheerless enough would
i'm many communities be scoffed at
and Stunned at the aleliouse, as a
man too proud for that state of life
unto which it hath pleased God to
call him. Then, again, the union
will receive him when at last his work

Archbishop Ireland Interviewed.

Tire Boston Pilot of March 18th con-
| tains an interview between Archbishop
Ireland and it's correspondent III Rome,
| from which this important passage is ex-
| tracted: ] am glad to be able to say
that the Roman authorities, both at the
Vatican and the Propaganda, declare
themselves determined to maintain the
hierarchial unity of the church in Amer
ica, and allow no effort to be made, in
the name of religion, toward retarding
the assimilation Of the different popula~
tions in America, and encouraging the
political and social uniication of all the
citizens of the land. But, strange to say,
this determination of Rome does not
prevent constant renewal of efforts.
There are people in America and in
Europe who are under the positive belief
that the country is wild Congo, to
be partioned off into so many foreign COL
onies, as distant from one another as Ian
guage, ideas and customs can make them.
Many Of the European Catholic papers
are enlisted ia the movement. The
Catholic papers of Germany are to-day a
veritable curiosity, teemlng week after
week with statements most false about
the church in America and the bishops
of America, who are supposed to be at all
times ting.d with patriotic American
feeling. I am sorry to say that most OF
the articles written in this spirit appear
as Correspondence from America, and
manifestly are such as evidence the local
coloring given to the mis- representations
contained in them.
! A short time ago, at q general Catholic
internationat congress at Liege, Belgium
two gentlemen appeared, Peter Cahensly
and Rev. Mr.. Villeneuxe, daring to make
in open session the istatemsntt that the
church in America, because ef it's neg
lect of foreigners. had lost 20,O00;OO0.
Cahensly repeated the lie in his famous
memorial Of last summer, although re-
ducrng somewhat it's proportions. Rev.
Mr.. Villeneuve is at present in Rome,
and have no reason whatever to put
trust in his movements; his vir1lence, I
may say, showing itself particularly in
opposition to the blshops OF the New
England states.

The captain of the Margaretta saw
that the sloop would soon be alongside,
$50 The turned on his pursuer and opened
fire, the result causing the loss of one
man on board the. Bloop. Captain
O,Brien returned the fire, with good ef.
feet, as several on the quarter deck of
| the schooner, together, with the Margar-
! eta helmsman, were XII HE'D. The loss Of
the latter was very important, as the
Margaretta became at once unmanage-
able and the vessels came together in
collision. A steady fire of musketry was
kept up from the Margaretta, but in the
face of it the Americans boarded the
schooner, where hand -to-hand conflict
took place, in which pistols, pitchforks
and hand grenades played an Important
part. Captain Moore was shot down,
and the Margaretta soon fell a prize
to the Americans There we're about
thirty-hve men ON each vessel, and the
loss in killed was twenty, which shows
how desperately they must have fought.
The Margaretta was taken to Machias,
where Captain O'Brien and his victorious
crew were welcomed as heroes. The
sloop was called the Liberty by the peo-
pie of Machias, and was the first fighting
vessel in the service Of the United States.
From this will be seen she connection
between the historic event which took
place in Machias Bay in 1775 and the
naming of the new gun boat Machias Tt
Gently launched.
With the guns taken from the Margar- |
eta Captain O'Brien fitted out another
sloop, in which he had quite career,
capturing or destroying many British
vessels along the coast. Eventually he
was captured himself, sent to England,
where he was confined in the famous
Mill prison, from which he afterwards |
escaped to France and thence to Amer !

 SENATOR HIGGINs, of Delaware, re- gently made pugnacious speech on the Naval bill, in which he said that he favored increasing the navy, even if it involved an increase of the na- tional debt. There are many men in Congress of the same opinion, and they are not all in the same political party, either; but there are few who care to be as frank as Senator Higgins. Sooner or later the question has got to come right down to that, for if the program mapped out by those who favor the building and maintenance of a navy powerful enough to cope with Great Britian be carried out it is only question of time when Congress will be called upon to choose between in creasing the revenue by some new form of taxation or authorizing an increase in the bonded indebtedness of the country.

In the Nick of Time.

The nick of time to stop the course of bladder and kidney complaints is when the organs concerned exhibit q tendency to grow inactive. The healthful impulse toward activity that they receive from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them from impending danger, and averts such dangerous maladies as Bright's disease and dia- betes. Sluggishness of the kidneys in- crease liability to chronic rheumatism, gout and dropsy, and since the blood is filtered by these organs in it's passage through them, the operation of the Bitters serves doubly happy purpose. The medicine acts without exciting, like the fiery stimulants of commerce. Malarial, dyspeptic. constipated and nervous individuals are thoroughly re- lieved by it. Since the advent of that shocking malady, Ia grippe, it has been widely demonstrating its usefulness as a curative and preventive of it.

THE Yuma Sentinel says that the condition of affairs at the Territorial Penitentiary needs investigation. The trouble lies between the superintendent and his assistant, and no cooperation is had between them. Let the investi- gation be made at once, and let it be a thorough one. The Republican party cannot afford to go through the scan- dal that the Democratic party did just before the prison was turned over to the present officials, and if either one or both the officials are not competent, let them be removed.
