THE EDITORS SONG.

How dear to my heart is the steady
subscriber,
Who pays in advance at the birth of
the year;
Who lays down his dollar, and offers
it gladly,
And casts round the office halo of
cheeri
Who never says "Stop it, I cannot af-
ford it,"
Or, I'm getting more papers than
read"
But always says, Send it, the family
all like it
In fact, we think it a household
need!"
How welcome he is when he steps in
the Sanctumi
How he makes our hearts thrOb
How he makes our eyes dancei
We outwardly thank him-we inward
ly bless him
The steady subscriber who pays in ad-
vance.

Her present house needs painting

Gen. Miles on the Irish Soldier.

General Nelson A. Miles, in the
course of a speech made at a banquet
held by the South Boston Citizens AS
sociation ip' Gray's hall, Oil the occa-
sion of the celebration of Evacuation
Day, March II, made this reference
to the soldiers of Irish birth or blood
who fought for the Union:-
''In the great Civil War for the pres
ervation Of this republic the armies
were composed Of the flower Of Amer
lean manhood, as well as of those who
had left their native countries to be-
come citizens of this.
"On this day we are reminded of the
fact that the sons of that green isle of
the sea tnat has given the world manv
eminent statesmen, jurists. poets, Ora
tors and soldiers are doubly celebrat-
ing the birthday of their patron saint
and also an important event in our ma
tional history. The display of flags
on this day reminds me of other days,
when the shadows of gloom envelopcd
our country and the war drums beat
rallied the might hosts for scenes Of
conflict and terrible war.
'"Then, is was not unusual to see
the soldiers in our service also carry
ing the banners of their native lands,
which were still dear to them. Among
other scenes, I call to memory one that
occurred during the seven days. battle
before Richmond.
"As one of your patriots and silver
tongued orators, Gen. Thomas Francis
Meagher, was leading his brigade to-
ward the enemy's lines on Malvern
Hill, in the supreme hour Of battle, his
words indicated that his thoughts were
not unmindful Of the welfare Of his
native land; turning in his saddle he
rallied his men to renewed effort by
example and inspiring words, and one
sentence, particularly impressed me.
Come on, brave boys, Ireland will
have another day.

was the last rallying cry to deeds Of
valor and sacrifice.
"Another scene I recall was on the
bright morning Of September Is, 1862,
on the battlefield of Antietam, where
in the Irish brigade the green flag of
Ireland was borne conspicuously be-
side the stars and stripes, in the as
sault on what was known as the
Bloody Lane and moving under the
iron hail Of the enemy's fire I saw
them repeatedly fall and rise again,
as the brave color bearers, one after
another, fell beneath the destructive
fire. As one went down, others quick

A Historic Volume.

A copy of paradise Lost" contain
ing the autographs of the late Sir
Charles Gavan Duffy and his fellow,
rebels Of 1S4S, written while they were
in prison in Dublin, is in the hands
of collector in Dublin. The volume
was published in London, in 1910, and
was at one time in the prison library
of the Dublin Newgate of the time.
John Mitchell's was the first auto
graph recorded in the little volume,
and then came that of his brother-in-
law, John Martin.
The name of Charles Gavan Duffy
is written in neat hand, and the date
is recorded as 4th Nov, 1S4S DR..
Kevin Izod O'Doherty was also in
Newgate prison at the time, and his
name is duly recorded. DIR. O'Doherty
sat in the House of Commons as an
Irish member in the eighties, and is
now the sole survivor of the rebels
who converted paradise Lost" into n
prison album.
The book was afterward placed in
the library of the Richmond prison,
where it received the signatures of
William Smith O'Brien and Terence
Belew McManus, who added the
words: "a convicted Traitor to Eng
lish Rule in Ireland" The names of
Thomas Francis Meagher and James
Finton Lawlor are also recorded. This
curious document was once the prop
erty of Miss Margaret Stokes, the
well-known antiquarion.

Is Your Name Smith !?

A name which demands volume to
do it justice is that of Smith, which
enjoys the proud pre-eminence Of be-
ing the commonest of all English sur
names, says Eleanor Lexington in the
Chicago Record Herald
II am not sure" says one, "but that
the name demands new science to be
called 'Smithology.' 1t would doubt
less prove quite as instructive as many
existing 'ologies,' and it would have
the merit of being more amusing"
The name is derived from the Saxon
word Smitan-to smite. 1t was np-
piled not only to workers in metal, but
valorous soldiers were called mighty
war-smiths." The term vas not con-
fined to iron work, but was applied to
everything which required "smiting."
Thus, the poet was a verse-smite.
though he only had to smite his brains
to produce results.

crests and titles, but glories in the fact

Samuel Francis Smith of Newton Cen

requirements are concerned. OF the

quircd at door, where Il meeting was

Five hundred gentlemen sat down.
But this is an old story, and probably
originated with some one who had a
quarrel with fate because he didn't
happen to be Smith himself For it
is. if not fact, at least Il tradition,
that every one was named Smith in
the beginning, but as men dcgcncratcd
and became unworthy of tho name
they were given others-Vere de Vere

the sort, which really means nothing

the work to which she believed herself
called TO help solve the difficult prob
lem of reducing the wretchcdness Of
the Irish poor, to labor for the free
ing of the political prisoners Of Ire
land to this she resolved to dedicate
her talents.
The following anecdotc is told con-
cerning the particular eviction that
aroused Miss Comes sympathies:
"But one evening. Mt brilliant din
ncr party, she heard the host, an Irish
landlord, tell the story OF an eviction.
IA man had refused to ray rent.
Discrcditing his story that the hold
ing barely yielded enough to keep ten

passed them on the way home. They
are living in a ditch. His Wife added
the landlord, is i'll; think she will
die tonight
Miss Come awaited an outburst Of
sympathy. But from the brilliant
company came only complaints Of
stubborn tenants
Miss Come decided to do something
for these stubborn" people. She
called on Parnell, Dnvitt O'Lenry and
other leaders, who at first were sus-
riciOuS of the grnuincncss and
strength of the intentions Of the rich
young girl. But she proved her earnest
ness by her works. She went among
the cvictcd tenants, and preached to
them the need Of supporting home rule.
She boldly stirred up tenant against
landlord, rcinstated cvictcd tenants,
and in cases where the cabins Of the
homeless had been burned herself
built new ones. She restored an en-
tire village, though near by was gar
rison Of English troops. Finally,
warrant was issued for her arrest, and
she fed to France. There she found
many supporters, and also found
home.
After close study Of conditions at
home, Miss Come Travelled extensively
to make these conditions known
abroad. Twice she has visited Amer
lea on lecturing tours. On the conti-
nent she has Travelled great deal. ex-
erting her energies especially in France

One party would start by build

sufficient to administer the Co.
