For over century no foreign organ
lied forces for war have marched IN New
York streets until the uniformed crews
of all nations paraded on me Ssth OF
April through the streets OF the metrop
oils, cheeref at every step on their way
by admiring thousands. It was spec
tacle to bring tears to the eyes, and
makes one confident Of the coming OF the
golden age Of fraternity. But the most
striking thing about this parade, as also
it was in the mustered crews on ship
board the preceding day, was that the
crews to US did not look like foreigners.
The simple reason of this was that there
was no nationality on display OF which
we have not abundant types in this coun-
try with which we are perfectly farnil-
lar. The tars who marched, whatever
their features or complexion, whatever
flag they carried, could find their own
kind among the adniring throng that
cheered them.
It could not have seemed to them like
a march in a foreign country-rather as
II they were coming home. They salut-
ed, to. sbe sure, the American flag, they
were cheered by the American people,
yet under that flag are all the nations of
the earth in the great republic. No new
people were created for our experiment.
Only new spirit, we hope, came into
the world, which is strong enough to
transform all who come under its infiu-
ence. Yes, it was splendid parade,
and it was peculiarly American, because
it included the world. To us, we may
say, nothing is foreign. Charles Dudley
Warner in Harper's.

/ Courageous Corporal.

When Lord Rawdon was in South
Carolina, he had to send an express of
great Importance through part of the
country filled with continental troops.
y corporal of the Seventeenth dra-
goons. known for his courage and intel
igence. was selected to escort it.
They had not proceeded far when they
were fired upon, the express was killed
and the corporal wounded in the side.
Careless of his wound, he thought only
of his duty. He snatched the dispatch
from the dying man and rode on till,
from the loss of blood. he fell. Then
fearing the dispatch would be taken by
his enemy, he thrust it into his wound
until the wound closed upon it and con-
cealed it. He was found next day by a
British patrol, with a smile of honorable
pride upon his countenance, and with
life just sufficient to point to the fatal
depository OF his secret.
In searching the body the cause of his
death was found, for the surgeon de-
clared that the wound in itself was not
mortal, but was rendered so by the irri-
tation of the paper.
Thus fell this patriot soldier-in rank
a corporal, he was in mind hero. His
name was O'Lavery, and he came from
the parish of Mora, in County Down,
lreland.-4outh's Companion.

Chicago's Shamrock.

There is in the Irish village at Chicago
stone which Lady Aberdeen said was a
genuine and historical article from Blar-
ney. In this belief it has been kissed by
tens of thousands of visitors, but it now
turns out that the Countess of Aberdeen
was mistaken. Sir George Colthurst,
on whose estate the Blarney stone lies,
threatened Lady Aberdeen with an ac-
ton for libel for asserting that the stone
at Chicago was the genuine article.
Whether there was any ground for a
libel action may be doubted, but Lady
Aberdeen had. of course, no desire to
maintain in the face of positive state
ment to the contrary that the stone at
Chicago was the genuine article. She
has accordingly agreed to withdraw the
statement and publicly intimate this in
the United States.
The truth is that though the Blarney
stone is not at Chicago there is stone
from Barney in the Irish village at the
exhibition. The real Blarney stone
would not bear transportation to Amer
lea, but in this case probably one stone
from Barney is as good as another

Appearances Nav Deceive.

Should you happen to see a girl walk
ing along the street with her face
wreathed in placid smiles, don't take it
for granted that she feels perfectly con-
tented and happy. For the truth is that
She may be having nerve destroying
argument with herself as to whether her
skirt and waist meet properly in the back.
Shemay have tiny hole in her shoe and
be perfectly wretched over the thought
of getting her silk stocking soiled
She may be on the verge of insanity
because she knows that the one pin with
which she fastened her skirt is going to
give way.
She may be conscious of big chunk
of SCOT that has found Judgment on the
end of her nose.
She may remember that there is but
one hairpin in her hair, and that it would
be just her luck if it We're all to tumble
down
She may hear little snap and may
know that her garter has broken. That.
however, is simply too horrible for words.
