A Military Mass.

Chicago, March 17.-Solemn mass
was celebrated in numerous Catholic
churches this morning in honor Of
st Patrick's Day. At St. Mary's
church there was a special celebra-
ton OF military mass, never before
celebrated in Chicago, and but once
or twice in the entire United States.
The Seventh Infantry Regiment Of
the National Guard in uniform and
with side arms attended the service
in accordance with general orders
issued by the commanding officer.
At the elevation of the sacred host
the military presented arms while
the drums beat and the trumpets
blared out the martial calls. These
accomplishments of pontifical high
mass are employed OH the continent
only upon occasions OF great
moment. Pontifical high mass was
also celebrated in st. Patrick s
Church, the Church of the Sacred
Heart, and the Holy Family Jesuit
Church. At st. Thomas Church, in
Hyde Park, Rev. John Carroll de-
livered a sermon on ST Patrick in the
Gaelic tongue, printed TRANSACTIONS

selves so that the earth opened and
swallowed them up.
The greatest of st. Patricks mir
acles was that of driving the venom=
Gus reptiles out of Ireland, and rem
dering the IRISH soil, for ever after,
so obnoxious to the ser'pant race that
they instantaneously die on touching
it. Colgan seriously relates that st.
Patrick accomplished this by bea ting
a drum, which he struck with such
feryor that he knocked a hole in it
thereby endangering the success OF
the miracle. But an angel appearing
melted the drum, and the patched
instrument was long exhibited as a
holy relic.
The shamrock or small whiteclover
is almost universally worn in the hat
over all Ireland on st. Patrick S Day.
The popular notion is that when st.
Patrick was peachiug the doctrine OF
the Trinity of the Pagan Irish, he
used this plant, bearing three leaves
upon one stem, as symbol of illus
tration of the great mystery.
