The robin in the budding tree
A joyous song doth sing;
And nature dons her fairest robes
TO welcome coming spring.
But man, who wishes spring to have
No reason for complaint,
A surer sign of her coming gives;
Ills this: Look Out for Paint"

Sisters of st. Joseph. and the boys
sent out into the world to make their
own living, have made a good record
as law-abiding citizens, not one OF
them having found his way into the
criminal courts. Many of them are
holding positions of trust and respect
ability, and are respected in the COM
munities in which they live. There
are at present nearly 100 boys at the
asylum, and it is for these waits that
the fair next week is to be held. The
asylum is not for Minneapolis child
rem alone. Some are from St. Paul,
Duluth, Winona, Saltwater, Hastings,
and other parts of the state. The
burden Of caring for SO many children
is a great one, which does not entirely
devolve upon this city, and it is quite
probable that unless there is q more
generous response from other cities
and sections Of Minnesota, the Sisters
will be compelled to adopt more strin-
gent rules for the reception of in
mates, and to limit the territory Of
the asylum to Minneapolis. AS it is
now. orphans, waits, and foundilngs
come from all portions Of the arch
diocese Of st. Paul, and, sometimes,
from Dakota.
The Catholic people should certainly
take an active interest in such an in
stitution as this. and it is to be hoped
that the fair to be held next week Tor
it's benefit will be largely attended.

SHERIDAN AND SHENANDOAH
How He Came to Ride Down t'le
Lines ia Uniform.

How He Came to- R1ue DOWN thee
Lines in Uniform.
The presence and popularity of the
war drama of Shenandoah" in Brook
lyn, has revived interest in the famous
campaign Of Sheridan, in the valley of
Virginia, and especially in the lost bat
tie that he rode 20 miles down from
Winchester on a black horse to re-
gain, says the brooklyn Standard
Union" The fact is his troops, though
they had been surprised and lost
ground and guns and suffered severly,
were not so badly beaten as would ap-
pear from the hurried glances the pub
lie give the salient incidents. They
with the exception Of stragglers--had
stopped retreating and were getting to-
gether, and getting mad, ttcussing and
discussing" the situation, blaming
everybody good deal. In the masses
of the boys there was no panic. Gener-
al Wright, the highest in rank on the
field, was urgently restoring lines.
That unconquerable fighter, General
Crook, was there doing his duty. Col.
r. p. Hayes was there, in command
of brigade Of Crooks division. and
Gov Mckinley was there, boy SOL
dier on Crooks staff.
Winchester, not at full speed al the
way, but taking care Of his horse, so
az to get the best he could do out Of
him. AS he approached the field upon
his big, black charger, on q hard,
swinging lope, he met groups of SOL
diers in disorder, and said to them, not
in q very stormy, but a sharp, COM
manding way: "Face the other Way,
bows. Come back with me-" These
are the exact words he used, repeating
them dozen times. This is generally
familiar, but it is not SO we'll known
that as Sheridan galloped into the
field his black steed,v white WITH foam
at the mouth and neck and breast,
and yet gallant and strong-Coi. For
sythe close behind him, and the rest
of the staff scattered but coming~-the
first man he saw to ask a question was
Bill Mckinley, who had just been
across the pike to put in position, on
Crooks orders. Col. Dupont's battery.
Sheridan drew near and asked Mckill-
lev "Where's Crook?" Mckinley took
Sheridan to Crook, and they, with the
staff, went back to 'the red barn." and
had rapid consultation, Sheridan de-
termining not merely to hold the
ground, for that the boys were doing
in tolerably good shape, but to make
the charge that resulted in the utter
overthrow of the. Confederate army.
It was Suggested to Sheridan at the
red barn that before the charge he.
should ride down the lines, that the
troops might all see him. He assented

orials of the past. This is not the
| place to give any elaborate idea Of the
! result of his researches and .labors.
! Whoever is desirable to know some
! thing definite about the Brehon Laws,
should consult the book itself. That
| it will well repay perusal, we have no
hesitation in saying. The Irishman
who reads it, and lays it down with
out feeling a better Nationalist III the
highest sense of the word, is 1llan
whose patriotism cannot be of a very
enduring nature. To read of the fllnc-
tions of bards and brehons, kings,
druids, chiefs and clans, is to call up
before the mind a picture of a free
people and an Independent nation, eX-
listing and prospering ages before the
Britons and Saxons had emerged from
the stage Of painted sayagry. The
picture becomes the more complete
when we read of the Feis of Tara, and
well-armed chapters on the criminal
laws. the laws relating to marriage,
fosterage, distraint, and so on, have
far more than a merely technical in
Ierest, inasmuch as they show clearly
that the ancient Irish possessed very
complete social system. Few parts of
the work, however, will be read with
the clan system in it's relation to land
ownership bearing in mind that the
very land code which prevailed in an
cjent ireland is that now advocated,
with essential notifications to suit
modern times, by a large and increas-
ing section Of the community. The
ownership of the land under the Bre-
hon Laws WAS vested in the clans, and
private ownership was not recognized.
The chiefs and Brehons who held land
in considerable quantities did so as
the officials OF the people, not as pri-
: vate individuals. The tribute paid to
clansmen to their chiefs by chiefs to
minor kings, and by those latter to
the Monarch OF Ireland was not "a
rent" as understood in modern sense.
but the payment Of officials out Of the
national property.
Viewed as whole this book is one
Of the most valuable of !ater-day con-
tributions to Irish literature. 1t brings
the Brehol Laws, in their essence. and
with suitable brevity and simplicity,
within reach Of the ordinary student
to whom they We're hitherto practically
closed book. It does more than give
information as. to the nature, extent
and limitations OF the ancient laws Of
Ireland. 1t conveys tfle lesson that
people wllose, forefathers were able to
formulate such a complete code OF
laws, and to religiously observe them
without any resort to coercion, should
be competent, if given fair chance,
to regulate their own affairs with at
1easts equal success today, having due
regard to the immense changes in the
circumstances Of the times. For many
Irishlnen MIR. Ginnell has opened up
a new range Of thought and q new
course Of study. A widespread perusal
OF his work will help to quicken Ma
tional aspirations. He has performed
a service on behalf of Ireland for
which he deserves well of his country
men, and we hope that our people will
repay him by their hearty appreciation.
