AN IRISH ROMANCE.
Recalled by the Death of Mrs. kevin
IZOd O'DOherty.

An Irish romance is recalled by the
recent death at Brisbane, Queens
land, of Mrs. Kevin Izod O'Doherty.
She was Miss Eva Mary Kelly, the
daughter Of a Galway gentleman, and
as young girl she contributed poems
under the Fen name of Eva to Sir
Charles Gavan Duffys Nation, the
organ of the Young Ireland move
ment in 1S4S. Her poems attracted
wide attention. as did those of her
fellow contributor "Sparanza," the
nom de plume chosen by Lady
Wilde, mother of the late Oscar
Wilde.
Among the admirers of "Evas'
poetry was Kevin Izod O'Doherty, a
young medical student, who was also
engaged in the patriotic movement,
and he secured an introduction to
her. AS registered proprietor of the
Tribune, another Dublin paper of re-
bellious tnedencies, he was arrested
for seditious writing and had as his
prison companion the late Sir
Charles Gavan Duffy.
The jury disagreed twice, and on
the eve of the third trial he was Of
fered what was virtually pardon II
he pleaded guilty-he had certainly
written the article which was the ba-
sis of the charge He then sent for
Eva.
Il don't like this Idea Of plead
ing guilty." O'Doherty said: '"what
shall I do?"
"Do?" asked Eva, why, be a man
and face the worst; I'll wait for you
however long the sentence may be. y
A third trial duly came off. O'Do-
herty was found guilty and was SEN
fenced to ten years transportation.
Before his deportation to Australia,
Eva was allowed to see him in his
CELL
"Be you faithful" she said to
O'Doherty. "I'll wait.'
O'Doherty was transported, but be-
ing released on parole in Australia
he was able to finish his medical stu
dies and take out his degree. Years
passed and he returned to Ireland
where Eva, true to her word in the
prison s Gen. rstTn nwae9 to nbin nl tbey
married and O'Doherty with his
bride returned to Australia as a
voluntary exile.
In 1885 O'Doherty came back to
the old land and entered the house
of commons as member for North
Meath. He quickly tired of parlla'
mentary life, few years ago.-Ex'

BURNING THE DEAD.
A Custom That Can be Traced Back
to the Earliest Ages.

Creamation has been practiced by
most of the nations of the earth from
the earliest ages, and, although in
pagan countries it may have taken
the form of fire worshipping, there
can be no doubt that it's adoption by
the ancients was for the most part
prompted by other than religious
reasons. Greeks ascribe it's intro
duction to Hercules, who, having
sworn to transmit the body of Argus
to his father, thought this the most
convenient way of fulfilling his
promise. According to Homer, the
burning of the dead was common
practice among the Greeks long be-
fore the Trojan war, but the earliest
record of it is among the Scythians,
who inhabited the vast region
known under the name of Tartary.
Slender accounts handed down con-
corning the manners of some of the
ancient natives of Hindustan also
allude to the custom. The idea OF
publication by fire was in all ages
universal, and with good reason.
Some believed that the body was
unclean after the departure Of the
soul, and it was therefore deemed
necessary that it should be purified
by fire. Ovid expressed the general
opinion of his time when he said that
the soul was not completely separat-
ed from the body until the latter was
consumed on the pyre. The Athe-
mans invariably after battle burned
the slain.

Killing The Deer

Mr.. James Lyttie, Editor HERALD, Neeker.
DEAR SIR-I notice what you say
in . recent issue of THE HERALD re-
garding the loss to cattlemen by the
wolves. II Is ali true, and then does
not give the whole story. The wolves
are not only killing large numbers OF
cattle, but they are killing Oh the
deer. will mention few instances
that came under my own observation
last two months and over.
In January the snow was deep and
the deer could get away from the
wolves and coyotes, yet they killed .
great many deer.
In February the snov crusted and
the deer would break through and
the wolves and coyotes could run on
the crustsd snow, they killed the
deer BY the dozens. I saw six deer In
one gulch and on the ridge that had
been killed by wolves and coyotes in
one night. road almost every day,
and in January and February / saw
where tho wolves had killed . great
many deer.
1 have caught I've wolves and
fifteen coyotes. I know that killed
some that I never found. have been
told by stock men that they dnd .
great many deer that have been killed
by wolves, and they are killing cattle
now.
There are nve wolves now to whore
there wa one . year ago, and some
thing should be done 70 rid the
country Of wolves and coyotes.
Yours very truly,
