The deliberate attack made a
few days ago by a royalist paper
on certain representative natives !;
the invidious comparison of this
class of old-type Hawaiians with
the INSCRIPTIONS half-caste crowd
of royalist politicians, who formerly
infested the palace, but too plainly
tells the total lack of principle and
veracity underlying the ex-queen's
cause. Nothing more truly shows
that the native Hawaiians are to
be debarred the freedom of speech
and opinion than this ungrateful
and unjust attack on such of their
representatives as the royalist lead
ers are pleased to brand ''fossilized,
ignorant backwoodsmen."

The "wage and sweat of war "
now going on over the annexation
issue is typical of our mid-sea
isolation. Although quite palpable,
even to the wayfarer, that the
question will, in the end, be settled
mon matters of fact and under
living principle, yet our average
politician and spleen-devouring
scribbler have already dragged the
contest gutterward. The free
fight now RACES; facts and argu-
ments have become dregs of
thought, and ISLANDERS and per-
sonal indecencies are whipping
great-eyed reason from the scene.
Shame, fair sirsl Do you thus
carry on your degrading buffoon-
cries in the presence of the United
States commissioner?

For many years family in Belfast,
living in very humble state, were in pos
session of silver shrine inclosing what
was said to be the iawbone of st. Patrick.
This relic was believed, and if it be still
in existence is probably believed to this
day, TO possess potent virtues. A writer
of some thirty years ago tells how he
was taken when child to see the relic,
which was exhibited with signs of great
veneration. At that time it contained
but one tooth, though in the memory of
persons then living it had contained five.
Three had been given to members of the
family who had gone to America, and
the fourth was deposited under the altar
of the Roman Catholic chapel at Derri-
aghy. The writer says:
The curiously embossed case has a
very antique appearance, and it is said
to be OF immense age, but it is, though
certainly old, not SO very old as reported,
for it carries the "Hall mark" plainly
impressed upon it. This remarkable
relic has long been used for kind of ex-
ira Judicial trial, similar to the Saxon
corsned, test Of guilt or innocence in a
certain form of words, supposed to be
an asservation of the greatest solemnity
and liable to instantaneous supernatural
and frightful punishment if falsely
spoken.

The Chicago Tribune is one of the
most progressive metropolitan daily
newspapers in America and by acts
and deeds it is now hustling for the
title of being one of the greatest
newspapers in the world during the
nineteenth century. On the 9TH inst.
it performed the remarkable feat of
having copies of the Sunday Tribune
circulated on the streets of Washing
ton at the same time they We're in
Chicago. This was done by renting
the entire newspaper plant of the
Washington Eceni'ag NeecS and using
the same subject matter in both cities.
The Tribune now announces that in
the future when great events take
place in European cities that the
T'5beoae's special edition will be de-
livered in those places as soon as their
own papers and with better reports
of the happenings.

O'Connell and the FishWife.

II was O'Connell who had the celebrat
ed alteration with the fshwife ON q
wager. O'Connell knew well the effect
of polysyllables on the ignorant ear. The
spirited discussion in which he opposed
the language of Euclid against billings
gate wound up as follows:
Fishwife-Go rinse your mouth in the
Liffey, you nasty ticklepitcher. After
all the bad words you speak it ought to
be filthier than your face, you dirty
chicken of Beelzebub!

The aggregate of United States
currency, fractional and otherwise,
estimated to have been destroyed and
moi likely to be presented for redemp-
ton, approximates more than fourteen
million dollars. A recent estimate
prepared in the treasury department
places the sum as high as twenty
million dollars. This money can only
be taken out of the liabilities of the
government b. congressional enact
ment This will probably be attemp.
ted in the near future. The investi,
cations into the subject have shown
that most of the money lost has been
destroyed in railroad wrecks that
caught fire, though no inconsiderable
quantity has been destroyed by fires
that occur in country banks, post
offices and residences.

The Senate Committees Announced by the
Democratic Caucus.
WASHINGTON, March l5.-The Democrat
ic caucus finished its labors, so far as the
reorganization of the committees of the
senate are concerned. There was pre-
valllng sentiment in favor of a speedy re-
organization of the clerical and executive
force OF the senate. 1t will be seen that
the committee provided chairmanships for
Senators PETER and Kyle, the Populist
members, and permitted Mr., Stewart to
retain the craftsmanship of the committee
on mines and mining, which he held under
the Republican organization. There was
some debate over this action and some op-
position, but the influence of the commit
tee prevailed and the silver senator from
Nevada will not be disturbed. Either upon
the standing or select committees places
were found for all the new Democratic
senators. The Republicans are given IL
committees, just as many as they gave the
Democrats The chairmen of the majority
committees are:

FOOTSTEPS oF The SAINT.


%
/ Lands.
The footsteps of st. Patrick may be
traced almost from his cradle to his
grave by the names of various places
which he visited during his life. Assum-
ing his origin to have been Scottish,
traces of his life begin in Dumbarton-
shire, Scotland, where the legendary
place of his birth is known as Fitzpatrick
(cell or church of PATRICK. Dalpatrick
(the district or division of Patricl) is in
Lanarkshire. Craigphadrig (the rock Of
PATRICK is near Inverness. There are
two churches called Knkpatrick-one at
Irongray, in Kircudbright, and another
at Fleming, in Dumfries.
The place he sailed away from is
known as Port Patrick, and the place
where he first preached in England is
called Patterdale Patrick's dale), in
Westmoreland. He founded another
Kirkpatrick in Durham, and visiting
Wales walked over causeway now COW
cred by the sea and forming a danger
GUS shoal ON Carnarvon bay, which be-
came henceforth Sarnbadrig Patrick's s
causeway) He sailed for the continent
from Llan-Badrig (the Church of
PATRICK, in the island of Anglesea.
When he went to Ireland he first
landed at Innispatrick (the Island of Pat
rick, and next at Holmpatrick on the
opposite side of the mainland in the
county of Dublin. On the Isle of Man
he founded another Kirkpatrick, near
Peel, and later he landed ON the coast of
Ireland, in the county Of Down, where
he converted the Chief Diehn and bap-
tized him on his own threshing floor,
the name, Sabbal-Patrick (the barn of
PATRICK perpetuating the event. From
there he went to Temple-P Patrick, in An
trim, and thence to lofty mountain in
Mayo, which has ever since been called
Cragh Patrick.
In East Meath he founded an abbey
called Domnachpadroig (the Church of
Patrick), and built house in Dublin
where ST. Patrick's cathedral now stands.
In an island of Lough Derg, in the coun-
ty of Donegal, there is a st. Patrick's
purgatory; in Leinster, st. Patrick's
Wood; at Cashel, st. Patrick's rock, and
there are st. Patrick's wells scattered by
the dozen all over Ireland. His death is
said to have taken place at Downpatrick,
where the remains of st. Bridget and st.
Columb were laid beside him.
A more curiously derived name than
any of these is that of Struill, applied to
a well known place near Downpatrick.
This name was originally Struth-fhuil
Stream of Blood, and is said to have
been derived from the following circum-
stance: st. Patrick was baptizing a con-
verted pagan chieftain at this place and
inadvertently rested the iron point of his
crozier on the chieftains great toe, caus-
ing a serious wound, from which the
blood flowed freely. The chieftain, how
ever, in his ignorance of the rites of
Christianity, bore the pain without finch
ing, and his fortitude has been commem-
grated as above set out.

In New York on Monday afternoon
squad of men under command of
one of the agents of the Gerry Society
planned and carried out raid upon
dozen juvenile gamblers in that
city. The youngsters, bootblacks and
newsboys whose ages ranged from s 10
IA years, spent their leisure time and
coppers at "chic," city game which
is played for stakes of two or three
cents. The gang were interested in
their work in an obscure alley when
the officers swooped upon them and
the raid was so well laid out that not
one escaped. The society's agent
led the procession to a police court,
where the little fellows were held
upon the charge Of gambling, and the
hearing aroused so much curiosity
that the brokers of Wall street took
a recess to witness the proceedings.
~ Justice arranged them before
n,m aad delivered a half hours SER
mon upon the immortality of the game
and to what it might lead in future
years, and when he concluded he W as
loudly applauded by the Wall street
contingent, who then went back tc
their stock exchanges and resumed
that spcies of gambling which tn,
law says is legal, but which is the
ruination of thousands of men anC
families every year. Gambling, lik,
many other things, is treated by tn,
law according to the way it is playec
the smaller the stake the greater
is the punishment.

in their desire to create sensation,
sent out from Washington the inter
esting information that editors and
journalists are to be Disseminated

master general in giving out offices
An investigation of the rumor by
several congressman proved that it
was well-laid hoax, as some who
have seen Cleveland and Bissel state
that newspaper mems applications
will receive the same consideration as
any others. The supposed procla-
nation must have struck terror to
the hearts of number of editors

Hill Calls on the President.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The visit of
Senator David b. Hill to his great political
rival President Cleveland, was matter of
much gossip and interest in political circles.
He came to the White House by appoint
ment, presumably arranged by Congress
man Rockwell of New York. That his visit
was more than mere perfunctory call is
attested by the length of the interview. 1t
lasted 20 minutes, and during that time
Mr.. Cleveland received no cards from the
waiting politicians in the cabinet room.

The Hawaiian Treaty withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, March 10. - President
Cleveland's first executive communication
to the senate of the United States came in
the afternoon and proved to be a surprise
not only to Republicans, but to many
Democrats as WELL In the communication
President Cleveland Withdrew the treaty
with Hawaii which was sent to the senate
few weeks ago by President Harrison
The message was short and to the point,
the president simply requesting the senate
to transmit to the executive the proposed
treaty with Hawaii.

THE SHAMROCK.

There is legend that when st. Pat
rick began to talk to the pagan Irish of
the Trinity they would not listen to him
until the happy thought struck him of
illustrating the doctrine by means of the
Druid's sacred plant-the shamrock, or
small white clover. The three leaves
growing on one stem used as a symbol
made his teachings clear, and the sham
rock became henceforward sacred to st.
Patrick. 1t is said by others that the
shamrock is worn ON st. Patrick's Day
to represent the cross. 1t is a curious
fact that the trefoil is called shamrakh
in Arabic, and that it was held sacred in
ancient Persia as emblematical of the
Iran Triads Pliny, in his natural his
tory, says that serpents are never seen
upon trefoil, and that it is an antidote to
the bite of the snake and the sting of the
scorpion.
