Exodus of Artists.

This is the season Of the year when the
artist, amateur or otherwise, goes forth to
see Nature as she is and try to depict some
Of her many beauties. With folding easel,
camp stool and sketch box complete, he
seeks out hooks which appeal to his fancy
and provides himself with sketches to-
work up duying the winter. The most at
tract:ve field for the artist is along the line
of the St. Paul & Duluth railroad, which
runs through the most beautiful portion of
the Northwest The Duluth. Short Line,
as this line is generally known, IS noted
not only for its picturesque region and it's
countless sapphire lakes, but also as the.
peoples popular route between ST. Pa.A,
Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior, Still
water, Taylors Falls and other prominent
Northwestern points. Its, facilities and
characteristics are such agsto appeal to the
business man, the tourist and the home
seeker Its finely equipped trains leave
and arrive at convenient hours and run
swiftly and smoothly between the hand
soonest Of terminals, where close connec-
lions are made with trains and boats rum
ming in all directions. With these signal
points ii it's favor, it IS no wonder that the
Duluth Short Line always enjoys heavy
patronage and holds its patrons. II Ticket
agents will always be glad to furnish in
nuirers with maps, circulars, time tables
and general information, or they may be
had by writing direct to w. A.. Russell,

OLIVER PLUNKETT I.
In All Probability He Win Be canonized

In All Probability He Will BE canonized
a Saint.
It the cause of Patrick's noblest heir is
successful, Armagh can boast of three
saints as the patrons of her church, says
Rev, James Grace in Donahues.
Though we can look with pride to the
closing scenes of Patrick's and of Malachy's
lives-the former surveying in spirit from
the hill Of Saul the future untarnished
glory of the Irish Church, the second dying
in the arms of st. Bernard at Clairvaux,
after seeing his life's labor crowned-yet
the sight of the meek and sanity Plunkett
on Tyburn hill, surrounded by ruthless
fanatics thirsting for his blood, will always
appeal with a sadder interest to our hearts,
and from it will ever radiate strange and
pathetic beauty.
T. 1t was at period Of unparalleled distress
in the Irish church that Oliver Plunkett
applied himself to the ministry. A career
of labor and privat:on awaited him, and the
heads and limbs of his predecessors set up
in public places told him what he had to
expect.
The temper and pursuits Of Oliver Plum
kett would have impelled him to prefer
the seclusion of his college to the govern
ment of an Irish diocese; but to have hesi-
tated in prevailing circumstances would
have been an act of cowardice, and he
therefore accepted the office with cour-
ageous alacrity. 80.
In the midst of his labors the storms of
the alleged Popish Plot broke over the
land. and the sanity pRelate was to be one
of its most illustrious victims. f1$
He was dragged to London and convicted
on the evidence of apostates, caitiffs and
robbers. On the first OF July, 1881, he was
hanged at Tyburn, meeting death with the
calmness and joy of the martyr who lays
down his life for faith and fatherland.
The mockery of justice in the case is one
4 Of the darkest pages in English jurispru-
dence, and the verdict was unanimously re-
versed by public opinion. That such in
sstruments should be used shows the govern
ment to have been wholly. corrupt and de-
graded.
The relics of the venerable bishop,
after reposing for some time in handspring,
Germany, were finally conveyed to Ireland,
where they now rest in theDominican Con-
vent at Drogheda, an object of the deepest
national and religious interest to pilgrims.

Backbiters.

There are men who never have good
word to say of anybody, says an ex-
change. No matter how noble and OF
good 'repute a man may be, these back
biters will continue to say something to
his disparagement They do not often
speak directly against a good man but
by Implication and innuendo seek to be-
smirch fair and honorable reputation.
Such men are a blight and bane to So
Eiety. Of ill repute themselves, they
would drag others down to the same
low level The sight of an honest, trust
worthy, high-minded citizen is sufficient
to give them bad attack of the spleen,
which they seek to remedy by inventing
stories derogatory to good character.
their own inherent badness causes them
to think others must be bad or Indifferent,
also.
The chronic backbiter would seem in
durable. He will listen to no arguments
in Ia good mans favor. That all men
are more or less vicious is his premise,
and the most convincing proof would not
drive it from his mind. Truly, most
deplorable state of mind and heart to
be in: Were there no honest men in the
world, things would come to standstlll,
and the earth would almost cease to re-
yolve. 1t is they who make life and
civilization what it is, and keep us from
primal chaos. But the born backbiter
will entertain no such view as this, and
gees on in his daily round Of belittling
everything and every body. He seems to
take great delight in it, and to roll it
out as sweet morsel under his tongue.
I'VE think If he could see how small,
petty, and Insignificant such a, course in
life is, and how ii dwarfs and belittles
his humanity Gf there be grain left in
him), he would instantly reform, and
speak nothing but good of mankind for
ever afterward.

HOW H|E|:'T|' .PI /
The Eccentric Mrs. Green Has Some
Queer Ideas.

s At one time, about four years ago; Mrs.
Hetty Green was anxious to acquire a
piece OF real estate In this city known as
section 81, says the Chicago Tribune.
The suit in court was decided against her
by Judge T,lley. for whom she at once
conceived a bitter dislike. Speaking Of
the matter to a woman friend In Chi
cago who stood in close relationship to
her and whom che oonfded many of
her troubles, Mrs. Green said: $50
Il believe that some time ] will get
control Of the land. almost know that
Twill. In the center of the ground there
is a large rock. have gone out there,
and on the stone with blood that took
from my own arm I wrote a covenant
with God, telling him all that would do
for Him if he would grant my wish In
this And believe that He will do as
have asked Him. have promised Him
many things, and 1 feel that my desire
will be granted" *
Mrs Green evidently believes in the
efficacy of prayer. A lawsuit in the cen
trail part Of Indiana was lost to her few
years ago, as she believed, by the neg
lect Of the attorney to whom she mad
Entrusted the case. A year, after that
time she was again in the town where
she had met defeat. The lawyer who had
Represented her in the former case called
and desired to attend to her legal bus
mess for her. He told her that he had
lost wife and son in the year and Ill
fortune had followed him for the last
year He had wished to appeal to her
pympathy, but found that it was useless.
, your bad luck" she said, lis. be-
dieve, in direct answer to prayer. When
you lost my suit prayed that you might
be dealt with as you had dealt with me.
And now that it has come to you be-
lieve that God has directly answered my
prayer"
The struggling lawyer did not receive
the work that he asked for, and Mrs
Green remarked to friend that her
course tn the matter was perfectly JUS
tif1able.

The Secret of Popularity Was His Kind

ness of Heart.
If the question We're asked. why John
Boyle O'Reilly was SO universally loved,
why the news of his death came with
such a shock to his friends, and caused
a sense of personal loss to those who
knew him through his writings, l be-
lieve the true answer could be found in
the moral OF his poem, What is God?"
says Donahoe's Magazine. The cause of
this general affection was undoubtedly
the kindness of his character. James
Jeffrey Roche, in his Life of O'Rielly,
says: Kindness, always kindness, was
his watchword";; kindness in the broad
sense In which O'Reilly used it, the sense
of human sympathy. This would seem
to be his poetic message to the world.
1t shone through his editorial work in
the Pilot. His heart was a human heart,
and color, creed, or country made no diff
ference with him; man was man, whether
black or white, Catholic OR Protestant,
Christian or infidel, civilized or savage.
It is not often given to a nation to hold
a. poet with this sweet principle as the
Keynote of his character. When such a
poet is found his poetry is worthy Of
more chan passing notice. The poem
seems to have been: the argu-
ment Of his life, It is brief and. we'll
