It seems that this prophecy is
coming true, and the sooner the in

to cross the path of the pure Anglo
Saxon race, the better it will be for
them. The North may send down
sheir emisaries and carry the Martyrs
to Boston for exhibition to keep ur
that strife, and thereby show their
eternal hatred to the South, and cry
out, that We are one as much as they
please, but no one with any knowl
edge of past events will believe ont
word of it. I give the Republican
party the credit for every homicid

ST. PATRICK'S BALL.

The ball given ill Ohman's Hall last Friday evening was well attended and the spacious room was comfortably filled. The grand march took place about 10 o'clock and was led by the Douglas City Brass Band. The orches tra, composed of three pieces in the hands of ProfS Miller, Ullman and Ere, mont, was tirst-class, as it always is when these three men furnish the mu- sic.
 The room was comfortable, a little warm at times, but the two white dresses worn helped to keep the tenn perature at about the right place.
 Juneau sent as a small delegation Mr. and Mrs. V. Mcfarland, Mrs. Cole, Mrs Mathews, and Mir. Burgess.
 At F o'clock the ladies Guild served a nice lunch in the hall with the very best of tea and coffee. which was much enjoyed, and in all respects the ball was a grand success.

These troops will be entitled to dis
charge when the president proclaims
the peace treaty but under the'author-
