Conauerinq Self. Weakness.

There are two ways of obtaining
and preserving inward empire, the
habit of observing and the habit of
conquering ourselves. Every con-
cession which wemake to,effeminency
to cowardice, to negligence, to dis
couragement, in the ordinary course
of life, is All abdication of our
sovereignty, and we shall find it an
impeachment to our efforts when we
attempt to recover ourselves. Diff
ficulties which we think are external
are in reality, if they can be sdr-
mounted, only the difficulty which
we find in ourselves. For instance, the
difficulty of study arises from the
weakness of our attention. The diff
Guilty of perilous undertaking is the
want of courage it demands. The
difficulty of labor is the want of per-
manence it requires. 1t is always
ourselves whe are insufficient, and we
often find ourselves SO because we
dare not attempt all of which we are
capable Elk.

Resigned For Something Better

Mr.. G. E. Coleman has resigned
as superintendent of the Falls Of
Rough railroad. Some other duties
will probably be added to those of the
superintendent, and the Office changed
somewhat. Mr.. Coleman is consid-
ering two offers, but has not fully
decided what he will do. He is a
clever gentleman, and has made many
warm friends during his stay in this
city.-Owensboro inquirer,
Mr.. Coleman always makes friends.
He is a popular and excellent railroad
man. Mr.. Coleman has something
better in view and we hope he
will secure it. Mr.. Coleman
and family are in the city
where they will remain until he deci-
cides on his future location.

In St. Patrick's Honor.

The parade in Lexington Sunday
in honor Of St Patrick, was
one of the grandest of that occasion
ever seen in that city. The day
was comparatively clear, and about
fifty people of this city took adj
vantage of the low-rate excursion
under the auspices of the Young
Mems Institute, Of Winchester, to
witness the interesting programme
on that occasion. AS usual
thing st. Patrick's Day falls
on a gloomy, disagreeable day, and
in the forenoon it did look like a
hard rain would pour down all day,
but the indications changed, and
fair beauty was allowed to don
her spring dress and come out
and enjoy herself. Over one
thousand men were in the parade,
besides bands of music, wagons
and carriages. The procession was
headed by the Fire Department,
followed by battalion of police.
Next came Saxton's band, then the
Uniform Rank of the Y. M. l., fol-
lowed by non-uniform Y. M. rs.
Citizens wearing badges came next,
and these were followed by ., band
of music, Bullock Guards, contin-
gent of citizens, drum corps and
st. Joseph Boys Society number
ing over 200. A number of hand
some banners and flags graced the
procession.
At s O'clock in the evening,
Judge Jas. H. Mulligan delivered
an address in the Opera House to
a large crowd, eloquently depict
ing the grand patriotic character
of st. Patrick.
In the long list of Saints of the
Church since the days of the Apos-
ties, there is perhaps no name on
the Calender that fills the
heart of Catholics the world over
with such a warm thrill of affec
ton as the name of st. Patrick,
the Apostle of Ireland. His life
is familiar to Irish readers, and
his miraculous conversion of the
Irish people, whom he had first
learned to love and to thirst for
their conversion while captive on
the island. His death occurred
on the 18th Of March, 493, having
lived over 100 years, sixty Of
which were devoted to the CONVEX
sion of the generous people of Ire
land, who accepted the faith he
offered without resistance, and
have chung to it since with loyal
ty unequaled by any other people
in Christendom.

JOE BLACKBURN AN EVANGE
LIST.
Sends Moody and Sankey Tracts
to His Fellow Senators.

Every United States Senator found
in his mail the other day neat little
package of religious tracts, bearing on
its face the words, Compliments of
j. G.. S. Blackburn" This was, says
the Washington correspondent to the
Chicago Herald, the popular Kentucky
Senator's device for announcing to
his associates that he had abandoned
forever his old life and entered upon
new and untred existence as the
result of the convincing eloquence OF
Evangelist Moody, who has been
holding revival meetings in Washing
ton for the past month. Very early
in the course of the NOBODY meetings
the Kentuckian became a regular
attendant and sat on the platform
night after night within few feet of
the Evangelist, and it was noticed that
the two had frequent conversations
together. Then Mr.. Blackburn began
to invite some of his friends to the
meetings, and everybody understood
that he was very much impressed, but
the idea that jovial "Joe" Blackburn,
who had for his whole life led the gay
existence which is peculiarly adapted
to the Kentucky temperament, should
really become converted by Moody's
teaching and enter on the work of
evangelization himself in small way
never entered anybody's head.
The tracts with which Joe favored
his friends were four in number, One
is a brilliant affair in red, entitled
"Strong Drink; or the Temperance
Song Is Gods Word," which is filled
with pertinent biblical quotations
against the evils of intemperance /.
The three others are tastefully printed
in gilt. Happy Nancy's Secret"
tells Senators that they should "follow
Happy Nancy's rule and never give
place in their bosom to imaginary
evils. The two others are in verse,
One is the "Song of the Sparrow"
and relates.
Pm only little sparrow,
A bird OF low degree,
My life is Of little value,
But the dear Lord cares for me.
1t proceeds thus for dozen stanzas
in the same vein. "a Little Pilgrim"
ia embellished with cut of a railway
train. 1t tells how the conductor
comes around to collect the fares;
sYour fare, my little girl" at length he said.
She looked moment shook her little head,
VI have no pennies; don't you know said She
"My fare is paid and Jesus paid for me-"
There are three more pages of this.
The grave and aggressive Senator's,
from the aged Morrill, down to the
youthful Dubois, are wondering
which of them is to be influenced first
by "Joe" Blackburn's change of heart.
Senators Squire, Proctor and Gray
were also very constant in their
attendance upon the revival meetings.

Reversed.

The case of commonwealth against
r. A. Mitchell which was taken up
from the Hickman Circuit Court has
been reversed 1t will be remembered
that the charge was false swearing
and in last weeks issue of the ADvo-
CATE we gave the evidence in full,
which was convincing to any unbiased
mind that there was nothing in the
case, and that the verdict in the Cir
cult Court was without doubt the re-
suit of prejudice. Mr.. Mitchell swore
to his best knowledge and belief in re-
gard to certain notes this he proved,
but the jury saw fit so convict, believ-
ing that he willfully and maliciously
swore an untruth. How they could
believe this way Is strange to the out
side world, yet they rendered a ver-
dict against him. The higher court
says the evidence did not justify
conviction, and SO the case goes back
Mr.. Mitchell's friends will be glad
to learn that heis not so bad man as
the jury of Hickman county would
make him and that the highest court
of theState Virtually declares him
innocent of the charge. 1t is said the
decision will, when given out, be in
effect an order for the lower court to
instruct the jury to find for the ac-
cused.
