Chickamauga National Park, Ga,
August 1s.-There is no longer any
doubt about the early departure for
new camping grounds Of the Second
and Third divisions of the First corps.
This afternoon General Breckenridge,
acting under instructions from Wash
ington. issued orders to General Nc
Kee, commanding the Second divis-
ion, and General Sanger, commanding
the Third division, to hold their re-
spective regiments in readiness for de-
parture. The camp at Knoxville
Tenn, and that at Lexington, KY, are
being put in proper condition as rap
idly as possible.
General Breckenridge arranged this
evening for a sham battle exercise to-
morrow morning beginning at
O'Clock. The Third division Of the
First CORPS, under General Sanger,
will go out in search of the enemy,
which will be the Second division OF
the Third corps under General Comp.
ton.
A fund is being raised among the
regiments for field day" which has
been instituted by General Brecken-
ridge, to occur on the third Saturday
Of each month.
During the last day of two, includ-
ing today, a large number of patients
have been removed from the regimen.
tai hospitals to the Sternberg reserve
hospital. The work of f%urloughing
convalescents also continues at a live
ly rate.
A number of petitions have been cir
culated among the troops at Camp
Thomas by privates who desire to be
mustered out of the service. The pur-
pose, it seems, is to secure a large
number of signers and send the petit
tions to influential men to be used in
securing a muster-Out. These petit
tions have resulted in arrests in two or
three of the camps.

The Greatest Discovery Yet.

W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, ILL.,,
"Chief," says: I'VE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take it's place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds Whooping
Cough, etc." It is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..

as good, because this remedy has a re-
cord Of cures and besides is guaranteed
It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles

transports now in the harbor await
ing the embarkation of the Spanish

advent of Christianity. The paschal
fire which St. Patrick lighted at Slane
on Holy Saturday. and which caused
such alarm to the king and all the as

the beacon light of faith which was never
to be extinguished in the hearts of the
Irish people THAT flame must be .ex-

chief Druid, cor it will never be extin-
guished in Erin" The sacred places of
the Druids were soon consecrated to
Christian worship. The streams and
wells where pagan rites had been often
celebrated were blessed by the apostle,
and the ancient festivals of the Druids
were made to do honor to Christian
saints. The midsummer festival of
paganism became a feast in honor of st.

FIR. O'Neill, of Youghal.
Editor of The Irish Standard:

Editor of The Irish Standard:
Among the men of 1898 who deserve
special mention was FIR Peter O'Neill,
parish priest of Ballymacoda, County
Cork. For some real or imaginary
cause he was arrested and taken to
Youghal Jail, where he was threatened
with all kinds of death. At last he
was tied behind cart and led through
the main street and flogged on the bare
back. At that time knee breeches were
worn, made tight around the hips with
out any suspenders. AS the priest was
being led along the street under the
cruel lash, some one in the crowd that
followed him put his finger in the waist
of tie breaches he wore and pulled it
down. Fir. O'Neill turned his face around
to see who had done it and saw a young
man named Tarbox with his tongue out
by way of derision. Ever afterwards
when the priest met his insulter the lat
ter had to turn his head around and put
out his tongue involuntarily, a fact which
attracted great attention and was look
ed upon as a punishment from heaven
on FIR. O'Neill's tormentor. heard this
story from my father, who was about
IL years old at the time and knew Tar
box we'll.
FIR. O'Neill was transported to Botany
Bay for life, but through the influence
of friend he met there he got back
home after seven years. While
there he enjoyed a certain kind of lib
erty and went around among the people
and converted many of them. He also
visited New Zealand and converted
many of the inhabitants. He died in
Ballymacoda in 1885, the year in which
I was born, and he is buried outside the
chapel door in accordance with his last
will FIR. O'Neill was the uncle of Peter
O'Neill Crowley, who was shot in Kill
clooney wood by the police in the time
of the Fenian rising Of 1867. He and
I were schoolmates.
