Ssars. He is better known as Gen.

Napoleon and tn. Doc.

The night after the battle of Bas-
sano the moon rose cloudless and
brilliant over the sanguinary scene.
Napoleon, who seldom exhibited any
hilarity, or even exhibition of spirits
in the hour of victory, rode, accom-
panied by his staff, over the plain
covered with the bodies of the dying
and the dead, and silent and thought
full seemed lost in painful reverie.
1t was midnight. The confusion and
the uproar of the battle had passed
away, and the deep silence of the
calm starlight night was only dis
turbed by the means of the wounded
and dying. Suddenly a dog sprane
from beneath the cloak of his dead
master, and rushed to Napoleon as If
franticalily imploring his aid, and then
rushed back again to tile maneled
corpse. licking the blood from it's face
and hands. and bowling mose piteous-
ly. Napoleon was deeply moved by
the affecting scene. and turned to his
ofncers. with his hand pointed towards
the faithful dog, and said with evident
emotion, There. gentlemen, that dog
teaches US a lesson Of humanity"

CARRYING Money.

It is interesting to note the various
methods in which men of different ma.
tionalities carry their worldly wealth.
The Englishman carries gold, silver
and copper all loose in his trousers
pocket, pulls out handful of the mix
ture in an opulent way and selects the
coin he needs.
The American carries 'his wad OF
bills" in a long, narrow pocketbook,
in which the greenbacks lie fiat. The
Frenchman makes use of a leather
purse with no distinguishing charac-
teristics. The German uses one gaily
embroidered in silks by the fair hands
Of some Lottchen.
The half-civilized capitalist from
seine torrid South American city car
ries his dollars in a belt with cunning
ly devised pockets to battle the gentle
man with the light fingers The Ital-
Ian of the poorer classes ties up his
little fortune in a gayly colored hand
kerchief secured with many knots,
which he secretes in some mysterious
manner about his clothes.
A similar course has charms for the
Spaniards, while the lower class Rus
sian exhibits preference for his boots
or the lining of his clothes as a hiding
place for his savings,

ARREST OF O'CONNELLg
For ignoring Proclamation Issued b.
the viosroy.

Canon O'Rourke, in his Life Of
O'Connen." gives the following account
of his arrest and prosecution in 1874:
The "Algerine Act enabled the
viceroy to forbid by proclamation any
meeting which he considered danger
Gus to the public peace and he began
his second term in ofiicc by issuing
such proclamation. IL the face of
this proclamation a dinner, at which
800 were present, was given at Hayes
hotel, where 81 persons were appoint
ed as committee. They breakfasted
next morning at Holiness hotel; the as
semblage was dispersed by the magis-
trates (but. luckily, they were after
breakfast at the time). and O'Connell
was arrested in his house for evading
the proclamation. His bearing at the
police office on this occasion excited
much admiration among the people,
The report says:
Mr.. O'Connell walked quietly up to

NELL wish to have them read. I de-
mand that they should be read. The
magistrates here looked at one another
for a few minutes. Mr.. O'Connell-I
demand to have any information upon
oath that you have read to me. Mr..
O'Connell here put on his hat and said:
1 mean no disrespect to you, but am
a member Of the House Of Commons.
I am the equal of the Marquis Of An
slesey. and 1 am determined to main>
tain inviolable the high privileges Of

ing to watch.
The voting has resulted in cutting
down the Liberal majority and adding
to the Unionist strength to such an ex-
tent that the premier and his party
have lost the absolute control they had
in parliament. They now not only can
not carry out their program without
the aid of the Laborites, on whom they
counted, but must have the assistance
of the Irish Nationalists. 1t is within
the power Of the Nationalists to de-
feat the governmental program, as they
hold the balance Of power. And it is
not improbable that they may take adj
vantage of their opportunity.
The Liberals declared for home rule
in Ireland. Some members afterward
backed out on the proposition and
promised their constituents that they
would oppose such a measure. The
Laborites are not unit for the Liber-
ais. Many of them do not like the gov
ornamental free trade policy, although
they favor the land tax features which
the Nationalist do not fancy. The
Irish also are for protective tariff and
that will incline them toward the
Unionists. 1t is limited that the Union
lists may be willing to grant as large
measure Of home rule as the Liberals
are willing to offer, in return for the
support Of the Nationalists. In that
case the Irish seem to have a pretty
sure thing, not only on getting what
they want at home, but on giving what
they like to the rest Of Great Britain.
All Of which is further proof Of the
old saying that "all things come to him
who waits"

O'Brien is favorite with the Tories,
of late years. and consequently they
voted for him to a man. His cam
paign paper, the Cork Accent" was
printed in the Office of the "Consti-
tion," the most rampant Tory organ in
the South of Ireland. And yet William
OBrien is patriotic Irishman who
can render excellent service in parlia-
ment. He is an impressive speaker
who knows everything about his coun-
try and is ready for any emergency.
Healy is a brilliant debater and has
never sought Office from Tories or Lib
erals Both of them are good Irish
men, but they hate to follow Redmond
as leader. Neither of them possesses
the qualifications to fill the position
now held by Redmond, but they think
they do. Both of them will vote for
Home Rule and both have suffered
for their country in days gone by.
William O'Brien was prosecuted nine
times for political offenses and spent
over two years in prison. He founded
the United Irish League in 1898 and
established the Irish People news
paper as Its advocate. He resigned
his seat in parliament some time ago
and is now So years of age. We hope
Healy and O'Brien will sit, act and
vote with the Irish party, and refrain
from being insurgents in the ranks
Their conduct will be closely watched
by their countrymen the world over.

NORTH LouTH AND CORK CITY

In special cable from Liverpool to
the Chicago Tribune, Mr. T. P. O'Con-
nor, MP, says that the Irish National
lists will hold the whip hand in the
next British parliament. The elections
are still going on as we write, and the
the Tories will not be known until
next week. The Tories during the first
five days of the elections gained about
40 over the Liberals, but the
tide turned and their majority was
reduced to 10. BY the end of this week,
that small majority will have vanished
and the Liberals may have something
like Is OF a majority over their oppon-
ents. AS the Nationalists will have
over 80 members working unitedly and
the Laborites about As, it is evident
that the Liberals will do everything
possible to placate both parties in
order to retain their cooperation.
The most intensely exciting elections
in Ireland were those in North Louth
and in the City OF Cork. T. M. Healy
was victorious in Louth, having beaten
Hazleton, the Nationalist candidate,
by 80 majority. He received 400 votes
from the Tories. who had no candidate
Of their own. The policy of the Tories
Is to perpetuate discord and dissen-
sion in the Nationalist ranks and Tim
Healy is their beau ideal of an Irish
factionist. The most influential of the
clergy worked for Healy, and Cardinal
Logue wrote letter in his behalf,
saying in part:
Il have never sympathised with the
determined and persistent attacks
which have been made upon Mr. Healy
by a section of the press and some
politicians, for the purpose of driv-
ing him out of public life, thus depriv-
ing the country Of his undoubted abili-
ties. his unimpeachable honesty. and a
devotion to the interests of Ireland.
which, whatever occasional mistakes he
may have made-mistakes from which
his opponents are by no means free
has never wavered, and which has been
proved by long years of disinterested
service"
Despite the foregoing testimonial
from his grace the Cardinal, and the
votes cast by the Tories. Healy mar
rowly escaped defeat, though he had
boosted in his speeches that he would
beat Hazleton by vote of ten to one,
He is shrewd enough to see that he
must change his tactics to get elected
any more in North Louth. Had the
Tories refrained from taking sides he
would unquestionably have been de-
feated by his youthful opponent
