A Prize SITS Strange Story.

TO those who remember Father

the following story was not made pub
lie during his life. The genial yet rigid
old PRIEST was nothing if not exact in
all his sayings and dnings and shranll
from the very appearance Of uncanny
mysticism, says the Washington Post.
"Ols, stormy night" he told Il friend
of his. after an unusually busy day l

into the street. Two children We're

Prophecy of St. Malachi.

Speaking recently of Maynooth Col
tralia, said:
yesterday IL friend of mine put into
ett-with whose venerable and sanity
name have not been unfamiliar. The
name Of that venerable martyr to Ire
lands faith should be ever revercd and
celebrated as promoter Of temper
ance in this fair land. There is one
remark that I thought l would set
forth. 1t is that this venerated martyr
had consulted the greatest literary au-
thority of tire day, the distinguished
Benetlictine. Mabillon, as to the au-
thenticity Of a prophecy Of old, and
the reply of Mabillon to that venerable
Primate of Armagh was that that
prophecy of st. Malachi was undoubt.
edly genuine, and he risked his au.
thority on the genuineness of that
prophecy. And that prophecy should
be dear to every lrishman. At the dy.
ing moment of st. Malachi he was seen
to shed tears. and Those standing by
asked why he thus wept, and THE reply
is given in that authentic document
Woe is me- said st. Malachi: alas fcl
my ruined country, alas for the Holy
Church of God. How long, how lone
dost thou forget JUS? How long. my
country, art thou consumed with sor
row?'

Drinking at washington.

William Il. Curtis, the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record,
has the following to say about drink
ing ut the national capital:
Not a few public men owe a large
debt of gratitude to the press for it's
silence. Just now the national capital
is full of gossip about an incident
which occurred few days ago at a
fashionable hotel, much freQuented by
congressional people. A certain emf

drunk more champagne at dinner than
he could carry. Notwithstanding his
extensive experience in that line, sud

Lee,s Kindness of Heart.

the losing side in the late war. gave
me these pleasant anecdotes of Rob

mrnt which took part in the West VIZ

day my colonel invited me to accom-
pnny Him to headquarters. which l
was very glad to do. hoping to hear
something of my family in Richmond,
whom the general-racently in that
city-knew we'll. We found him sit
ting at the door of his tent, which was
pitched mt the top of a rather steep
hill. He gave us cordial welcome
and to me the home news 1 desired.
While the conversation was in pro-
gress an orderly came galloping up the
hill. and d,mounting. handed the gen.
cral a dispatch. lie helu it in his
hand without breaking the SEAL and
said to the soldier: "You have ridden
your horse hard and he is very much
distressed: urlbuclle the girths and let
him breathe"
Another and more striking ilustra-
ton of this tenderness of heart III tire
great commander occurred at Peters
burg during the closing weeks of the
siege. General Lees headquarters was

landed not far distant. "Gentlcmen,"
he said, "thc enemy have evidently
got in range, and we had better re-

until the chief set the example. The
next moment another shell crashed
through the top of the tree above
their heads. and I'LL followed his advice
