heroes among whom sleep so many of
her gallant sons. During my travels in
the South 1 visited many national GEM
eteries, and there l could not fail to
notice the number of Catholic names
recorded on the government head
stones. Natives of Ireland, France and
Germany who gave their lives in be-
half of freedom Such men preserved
the flag, and Catholic France was in
strumental in establishing IL and Civ
ing this nation 10 us and TO the world.
our church cannot do otherwise
than support that flag. We love IL
because under IL we enjoy the greatest
liberty, the widest prosperity of any
land on the globe. Therefore we teach
love of country and seek to inculcate
everywhere the principles of good citi-
zenship.
There is no need to raise the cry of
creed in this land. In the hour of dam
ger no man asked the soldier to what
church he belonged, when he offered
his life and services upon the nations
altar. Then why raise the question
now? It Is the duty of every true citi-
zen TO decry and oppose the A. p. A,
and no loyal soldier who mingled his
blood on the battle field with that of
the Catholic boys in blue can endorse
such society. We as Catholic
priests and citizens of the great repub-
Tic concede religious liberty to all. and
we expect II in return. We give ii and
ask it.
This is not a day for sectionalism,
but Tor union. We honor those who
fought and those who died for the
sake or principle, and their memories
we commemorate here tonight. Cheers
Tor the living, and tears for the dead"

NEWSPAPERS AND THYME.
Some Practical Advice on the Subject Of
Their Best Uses.

Wrapping paper, old newspa-
pers and the various useless odds
and ends that collect about a
kitchen are an awful nuisance If
you put them in the fire, they
smudge it out ; if you throw them
in the ash barrel, it soon fills up !;
if you have no particular place to
put them, they get around under
your feet and annoy you That way.
All good smooth brown paper
should be neatly folded up and
laid on shelf in a place set apart
for it. It never comes amiss to
have about. You want it for
lunches, to send away packages, to
do up the laundry in. You want
it for a dozen things and proba-
bly, never have clean piece at
hand. The paper bags should be
put away in the same manner. 1t
is a small economy but saves a
great deal of time when you want
either.
The Irvine that comes around
the packages should be made up
in a ball and kept in q tiny box
or basket hung high out of the
reach of small hands, yet handy
to run to when you want bit Of
cord. For the useless odds and
ends make q bag out of cheap print
or cretonne, or piece one out of
pretty scraps and line it so that
it will be strong. One as large as
a common -four sack will not be
too large. Gather it at the bot
tom and fasten with u bow of
cambria, and at the top make IL
wide hem, into which put a thick
wire or small hoop. Hang this in
a corner out of the way and throw
into IL all the bits of paper, cloth
and trash Of that character.
When the bag is full, roll tie con-
tents in big newspaper and tie
with string and pile up in the
coalhouse till you have the ashes
carted away, and then It can be
carried away without trouble or ex-
ira cost, You can have a dozen
such bundles and, not notice the
room they take up. --Philadelphia

Love Finds A Way.

Warden Patten, of the Indiana
prison south, at Jacksonville, has
now on exhibition one of the most
remarkable contrivances of n pris-
oner that ever came into his col
lection. It is a lader made of
thousands of small pieces of Irvine,
threads, cords and rope, such as Il
convict would secretely collect
through years of effort. With the
rope Thomas Shepherd used to
climb a 80-foot waliand get out of
tke penitentiary yard night after
night to visit an old sweetheart.
He never attempted to escape, and
when his ladder was found one
night he returned before his alb
sence had been discovered, rang
the bell at the frcn+ gate, and sur
rendered himself. On his arm he
carried rubber coat, which had
been used to conceal his striped
shirt. He wore moccasins over
his shoes.
Shepherd told a Straightforward
story, 50 far as it went. He had
made the ladder, he said, in order
that he might visit n woman out
2 side prison. He had gone to her
house only four times, he said,
Last Sunday night, when he re-
turned, lie found g. his lader gone
from hewall, and at once he de-
"ctded tongiya himself up He
would nottell the,woman's name,
but the prison officials think, they
have discovered her identity. She
went from her home in Sullivan
county, near her convict lover 20

ladder it night, and that il took
him months to finish III. MlIt con-

Shepherd was sent To prison. to
serve a life sentence In 1876 "A
new trial was secured two years
later, and he was recommitted on
the same sentence on April 10,
1878. He has continually petit
toned for executive clemency, and
two years ago his sentence COM
muted to 90 years. He will be
released, consequently, on April
IS, 1888. He was a country school
teacher. One night ut an apple

IT is AMERICAN.

So much has been said about the
Monroe doctrine, and it is so import.
ant just now, with England disposed
to bulldozc Venezuela, that we quote
the doctrine as it was written by
President Monroe, nearly seventy-two
years ago:
I'VE owe it, therefore, to candOr
and to the amicablc relations existing
between the United States and those
powers, to declare that we should con-
slider any attempt on their part to cx-
tend their system to any portion of
this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety. With the existing
colonies or dependencies Of any Euro
pean power we have not interfered,
and shall not interfere. But, with the
governments who have declared their
independence, and maintained it, and
whose independence we have, on great
consideration, and on just principles,
acknowledged, we could not view any
interpositiOn for the purpose OF Op.
pressing them, or controlling, in any
other manner, their destiny by any
other European power, in any Other
