TWO IRISH SISTERS.
Had an Interview with the Queen a,
Windsor Castle.

BY command of Queen Victoria two
heroines Of Matching, Mother Super
ior Teresa and Sister Evangeline, who
deyuteuly nurscu the wounded during
the siege, visited Windsor Castle the
other day. They were driven from
the station in Il royal carriage, and,
alter having luncheu with the mem
bers Of the royal household, were re-
ccivcu by Her Majesty i'll one Of the
drawing rooms.
These Sisters" says the London
| Daily Chronicle, in an account OF the
audience, belong to the community
whose converts of mercy are i'll many
parts. There is one at Mafeking, an
other at Crispin Street f., in the
heart of Wiitechapel, and here Moth
cr Teresa and Sister Evangelinc,
home from South Africa on a visit,
were staying.
TT was not possible after the audi
encc to see them personally, but it
was possible to gather some inforlna-
ton as to their reception by the Queen
at Windsor. She held out her hand
to them that they might kiss it, and
she thanked them most cordially for
their labors in nursing those who
needed it at NIafeking. Then Her
Majesty, WHO was accompanied by
Princess Henry OF Battenberg, put Il
variety of questions us to the eXper-
fence of the Sisters during the siege.
You are both Englsh?" was one of
her inquiries, and the answer, ooh,
no, Your Majesty, we are both Irish,
delighted her greatly. She laughed
heartily, no doubt at the naturalness
of the reply. She was concerned
about the risks of the bombardmcnl,
which the nuns had to run, saying
once: "Oh. that was dreadful Again,
she showed deep emotion when a SYM
pathetic all,lsion was made to the
death of Prince Christian Victor. The
audience being ended, Her MaJesl!
once more held out her hand to be
kissed by her visitors.
AS to the Convent Of Mercy ut
| Mafcking, it may be added that it
had only been opened two months be-
fore the siege began. 1t was built ut
an expense of 5000 pounds, and to the
debt which remained OH it there Will
now be added the expense Of repairs.
since the bumbardment did it extern
sive damage. The nuns, Of whom
there are eight with Mother Teresa
ut their head We're given the oppor-
tunity OF leaving before the siege be
gan. They decided, without mo-
mcnt's thought, to remain at the posi-
of duty, and the rest we know"

Flower OF the Flock.

Maid of all maids-and the wide earth
is full of them,
Tender and witching, and slender

| know a maid takes the shine off the
whole Of them;
kitty. agra, you outrival them all.
Pretty and sweet are you, neat ana
complete are you.
Type OF the grace of an old Irish
stock;
Rich are you, rare are you, fresh are
you, fair are you
Kitty, agra, you're the flower oil the
flock.
Ali the long days at you, love, could 1
gaze at you,
Lost in amaze as you glide through
the dance,
Tripping it, skipping it, stepping it,
keeping it
Little feet peeping retire and al
vance.
Bright are the eyes OF you, sure they
tell lies Of you,
If you could e'cr at a poor FELLOW
mock;
Tender each glance in them, little
loves dance i'll them,
Looking askance ut me, flower OF TIC
flock.
Theme Of your gushing songs-Erln
her rights and wrongs;
Soaring you sing like Il lark on TIT
wing;
Waking the smile or sigh, making mt
laugh or cry,
Playing ON my heart like an old ild
dlcstriny.
Gate of my heart for you, opens apart
for you,
Leaps out to meet you with SOY
when you knock;
Birds in the tree of you, jealous might
be of YOU,
STORM mo chroidhc, of you, flower
of the flock.
When l kncel down ut Mass, where
are my Thoughts. alas?
Naught but the light Of Il bright tact
| see;
All that my praying is, all that I'm
saying is,
GOD bless sweet kitty, and keep
her for me-"
Hourly l sigh for you, proudly Ia die
for you,
Joyfully lay down my life on the
block;
King on his throne for you, true love
might own for you,
Reigning alone for you, flower Of the
flock.
Maid of all maidcns, my life is el
twincd in thine,
Turning to thee like the flowers to
| the sun;
Tell me. oh! tell me, thy heart is eli
| Shrined III mine
Tell me. ashore. we had better be
one.
Come with me. roam with me, over rho
foam with me,
Come to my home with me. nea,

THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Intellectual Efforts to Take Up a Con-
tested Election Case.

The relaxation following the consid-
Grafton OF the Porto Rican bill was plainly
manifested in the action of the members of
the House yesterday. 1t had been ar
ranged to take up the contested election
case OF Aldrich VS.. Robbins. from the
Fourth district of Alabama. but the alb
sence OF many OF the Republicans, the list
lessness of others, and the open opposition
of two enabled the Democrats 10 prevent
consideration, although two efforts were
made to bring it before the House.

Loud bill to amend the law regulating the

After the transaction of some routine
business Mr.. Mann called up the report

he would call up the case of Aldrich versus
Robbins. Mr.. Richardson made the point
that that matter had Just been rejected
by the House and that it could not be TAX

The Speaker said the point OF order was
not well taken, but the case could not be
taken up under call Of committees without
express order of the committee to call it
up then.

IN FAVOR OF FUSION.

RALEIGH. n. c.. March I.-Senator
Butler. Chairman of the PopuIst National
Committee, editorially declares in his pa
per, the Caucasian in favor of fusion
between the Democratic and Populist con-
ventions. The Caucasian" says:
1T is well known that Mr. Bryan ia
vored an early date for the Democratic
National Convention. 1t is clear that the
purpose OF those who wanted late date
was to try to prevent cooperation between
the Democrats, Populists and Silver Re-
publicans on Bryan. But the people. when
aroused. will not be sidetracked or misled
by politicians. and We predict that the con-
vention, in spite Of these schemes. will
declare for harmonious co-operation."
