At Ballaghaderrin petty sessions on

chairman; Mr.. v. Blake and Mr.. Jor-
dan, j.. P's., four respectable looking
young men, named Domerick Jordan,
John Jordan, Michael Jordan and VII
liam Flynn were brought up in custody
charged with a serious assault on John
Bruen, on the night of April II. The
prisoners, who were arrested under q
warrant on the night following the oc-
currence, had been, lodged lin Sligo
Jail, and, On the 22d, were brought up,
heavily manacled and under a strong
police escort. District Inspector Rob-
erts, Castlerea, prosecuted. He stated
that as the injured man had not quite
recovered consciousness and the doc
tor could not certify his life out Of dan
ger, he would only proceed with a por-
ton of the evidence, and then apply for
a remand. Formal police testimony
was then given, and Mr.. Roberts ap-
piled for remand for, a week, as Bruen
was unable to attend. Mr.. McM0rroW,
Rrllde his application that .Dominick
Jordan and Williams Flynn be admit
ted to bail No evidence against them
had appeared so far, except that they
happened to be there, and Flynn was
in extremely delicate health. The bench
decided to release Flynn ON bail, and re-
manded the other prisoners, who We're
removed to Sligo Jail in the afternoon.
The defendants are all very respective

interest in Ballaghaderrin.

THE TRUE AIM OF LIFE.

Too many men and women in this
world, in their pursuit of imagined hap,
piness, talk and act as if the transitory
pleasures Of life wore tho acme OF
human effort and the chief end Of exist
ence. In their eager pursuit OF wealth
and fame they heedlessly override the
rights of others, and rush madly for
ward towards the goal, which, when
reached, falls far short OF what had bsen
hoped for and expected, besides leaving
too often in their pathways tho wrecks
of other lives, whose prospects at the
starting wore as bright and promiaing
as their own
Even when the summit OF their sm-
bit!ona has been attained thero is q
something lacking, feeling OF empti-
ness in contemp lsting all that has been
accomplished, which calls to mind
the words of Solomon as to the vanity
OF all earthly things. To him who
starts out in life with pure heart and
proper regard for the rights and feel.
ings OF others; with a reliance 70, sup
port upon higher power, and trust in
the mercy and goodness of God, the ends
plished, from worldly stand point,
may not be as great as in the first in
stance; but the sense OF reetitude OF in
tentions and the knowledge that no
hearts are bleeding because of his sue
cess, will GU :weigh in solid satisfac ton
all the gains that wealth or glory csn
give. The world with its fleeting joys
and its innumerable diSappointments
will be estimated at its true Value and
the end OF that man will be peace.
To realize moro fully the RESPONSE
bilities OF existence, to remember that
tho world was not made for one man
alone, but that there are duties to those
around US which cannot be neglected or
despised, should be the aim Of all Even
with the most persistent efforts and
constant watchfulness we fall far short
OF the ideal OF goodness set before us;
but the great and good Being who

of our infirmu ties and makes allo wances

THE sAoKvILLE-wEsT PUBLICATION.


Lord Saokville, exBritish minister
to the United States, is not receiving
tho unqualified endorsement OF the
British press in his attack on Minister
Bayard, and incidentally upon the
American people and their institutions.
He was made scape.gost by the Cleve
land administration to save the Irish
vote for the Democratic Presidential
ticket, and the election Of Harrison
ought to have been compensation enough
for him. At any rate, he has waited
too long to air his grievances. New
issues aud more important matters are
before the British and American public,
and while this little Bit OF ancient his
tory may prove of interest in general
way, 1t will not, it is believed, exert
any marked influence on current events.
The London Telegraph, in the follow
ing extract shows worry sensible view
Of the whole matter:
"a very foolish, ill.mannered, ill
timed and ILL made pamphlet has been
issued by Lord Sackville with the pur-
pose OF injuring the reputation of MIR.
Bayard, now the United States ambas-
sador, charging him with being politi-
cal trickster and consistent and de-
termined enemy of England. The
whole thing is 30 full of thoughtless
bitterness that it is not worth while to
reproduce any part Of the brochure. We
only hope that the common sense and
practical judgment of the English and
American public will treat this I'M
called-for attack with contemptuous
disdain.
"Those concerned with diplom tic
history will be the first to assure Mr.
Bayard that no effect whatever is likely
to be produced by such series OF
charges, so utterly unworthy of atten-
ton or consideration. During his So
journ here Mr.. Bsyard has earned
golden opinions for his urbanity and his
keen Judgment of affairs, and above all
has made studious efforts to cultivate
amicable feelings between England and
America. Through him the English are
