anstinenee, refused to tell them from
whenee it same. They nerer onee thought
of Kathleen as their guardian angel, for
she was an inralid, oonflned to her bed,
with a eery uncertain tenure of life, and
then her father was poor, his crop had
been a total failure, and army day men
looked for him to be distrained and tamed

OR THE WAIT,
The potatoes might rot on the shore,and
all the crops might fail, but what oared
the rude men on the barren ooast; they
paid no rent for the rooky foundation of
tbier huts; they derived no revenue from
the green hills behind them. The storms
that felled forests and the rains that rot
ted crops were their harvest, for the one
threw wreoks on the coasts, to- beoome
their prey, and the other raised the rivers
and brought the fish to their'ttets. Dur
ing the summer the fishers on the ooast
had been very oautions. They aent now
and then a cargo to Galway, the principal
and nearest port, but they rarely landed
on the main ooast. Against this they
wore warned by the knowledge that a
camp of red coals had bean established
on the line of their own trail. .and the
knowledge that the reward for the cap
ture of Mike Delaney and his' followers
had been doubled. Mike had-not been
heard of foralong time on the main land
and a rumor of bis death at last gained
credence in high quarters, for never be
fore had he been known to remain quiet
so long.
Captain Gore, more than any body else,
hoped that Pelaney was dead, for though
the officer had behind him the power of
a great government and hundreds of sol
diers ready to obey his eoeamand, still he
dreaded the outlaw, who, having forfeited
his life, would not haaitate, before the
law enforced its penalty, to make bis
erime oommensorate with bis suffering,
and Gore well knew that the great object
of Delaney's existence was to avenge the
wrongs of bis sister. True, he had had
opportunities, which, for some unac
countable reasons, be let slip, neverthe
less Gore knew that his own life hung by
a frail tenure so long as the outlaw lived.
Ou Goie's large estate the crops were a
total failure ; but, long before the harvest
came, ha had driven from their little homo
DanGaspin's helpleta parents, and, acting
as if the p tuple were to blame for the
failure of the crops, ha ordered his stew
ard to disf rain ju every case where the
people did uot pay promptly. He made
an exception in the case of Larry Brehan,
and for reasons that must be plain to the
reader ; still his mind was not definitely
made up on this point, for he kept ths
hsir-balanoed sword ever poised above
the herd of Kathleen's father. Captain
Gore had taken Denny Keely into bis ser
vice, and be had during the long summer
oarried out faithfully the programme
which his companions had suggested. He
bought the needle-work and flowers which
Denny oarried to Loughrea for sale, and
he affected to threaten the youth with
punishment if he disclosed tbe purchaser.

Three days after this, while Mike Dels-
nyand his companions were sitting in
one of the rocky islands that stood In

Madame Aurora Dopin da Frtnonsil.
—The Turkish vessel Kars, with 840
persons ou board, was ran down in the
8n pt .Marmot*, on Jane 18, by th*
Egyptian ship Behra. Tha Kara sank in
a few minutes, carrying down with her
880 hnman beings.
—The Pall Mall Qautte says the suc
cess at the Congress of International
Law, oalled to moot at Brussels, is very
doubtful., The governments of England,
Ptane* and Austria, says tbe Oacetti,
reiee objections to thesoheme, snd Switz
erland extendi to it bnt feeble support.
—An Ingenious oontrivanee for water
ing th* strMts Is being tried in some parte
of London, whioh, if snecensful, wifi be
universally adopted in that metropolis,
and entirely supersede the lumbering oart.
It consist* of a pipe, which is ran along
tbe eerb on both sides of ths straet, and
whioh ia perforated at equal distances.
When the water ia toned on, tbe pressor*
from the main sends it half way across
the Nad, the two streams, of course, meet
ing in tbe centre. By thia mosns tbe dflst
in * whole strMt ia laid in e minute or so,
end is done muoh more effestaslly then by
the present method.
,—'The .notion sale of the personal ef-
th* late Senator Huniner, at his
, 'i.-’eno* in Washington, was st-
teemed desirou.'trS’SP - Welders, who

Woriuly, the caterer to Mr. Tflfc
who aiteuded him daring his last aTSko* 11 * 1
.v Ian the largest bidder, end bought many
article* at high figures, some of them to
Si, ui> a “Sunmer dining-room" in his ho-
tot. Frederick Douglass secured Mr.
Buuiuer’s writing-table sud library arm-
c ! isir f aod a small table. Many colored
persons secured small articles as
Hoursnirs.
—In a reoent lecture on the >( Uoman
Catacombs," Dean Stanley, of Westmin
ster Abbey, said that the oldest chamber
of the catacomb*, whioh dated from abont
the beginning of the second century, con
tained representations of a joyous nature.
There were no eroeaee or illustrations of
torture or death's heeds, but wreatha
of rosea and children at play. Heathen
paintings were very freely copied, the
figures of Orphans, Psyche, snd Bsoohns
being frequent. In the midst of so mnoh
heathen imagery was the frequent repre
sentation of the Good Shepherd. The
religion of. the first Christian*, ns it ap
peared in the cataoombs, was a religion of
u joyful nature, one which had a tendency
not to repel bnt to inoi udo, not to con
demn but to save. lh**uUrH the Good
Shepherd the most pr««.»iai at figure was
the vine, whioh ran ovur lua whole cham
ber.
—A Washington correspondent writes :
Mrs. Bhermsn, a motherly, matronly per
son, is almost as great a favorite a* the
General. Bhe ia a devoted Catholic, and
is foremost in every benevolent effort in
behalf of har church. Her daughter* are
pretty, blonde girls of qniet sud modest
style, girls who have passed in society as
models of good breeding gcutleuess
of demeanor. Mrs. Sherman, from her
education and religions belief, is inclined
to more rigor of prineiple and manner
than characterises insnv mothers of our
modern may fair, and the General has
been heard to regret the absence of dau-
oiug at hie house, though I know that
Mrs. Bhsrmsn's drawing-room* were
quite tbe siege for a oompany of young

THE PEIRCE OP WAI.ER.
Hie Barring an tha isth Ul*.
It is rather eritMIhff, is it not, to heer
that “the Ftlaoe of wile* was married on
the Ifith of Inst month to Lady Alice Hnjr,
* daughter of ths Into Esrl of Erroll, at
tha Homan Catholic Ohnrek in Hpnuish
dace, London?" Buck, however, in the
net. And yet the huslmud to Alexandra,
'flea King’s daughter from over the hcs,
has not committed' bigamy. The “Prinee
of Widen,” who baa just wedded a young
Soottiab lady of tbe old Gnvalar aod Js-
oobile blood, is the wrong “Prince of
Weles.” He is oomruouly kuowu as “Col
onel Count Charles d'Albany, the only son
of Count Charles Edward Htnart and of
Anna, daughter of Bight Hon. John de la
Poor Bereaford, and niece of the first
Marquis of Waterford.” When the right
Prince of WnlM last year went to the Vi
enna Exhibition be bad tbe pleasure of
turning this greet grand nephew, or what
ever he may be, of the pretenders of the
lost century figuring in a Highland dress
among tho officers of the Austrian army.
It is rather doubtful after all whether to*
“Count OharlM Edward”!* so nearly the di
rect representative of the royal Stuart* as to
deserve even in that way the compliment
ary title of the wrong “Prince of Wales.”
As a matter of foot, we believe the direot
heir to tbe British efown in the Stuart
Mo.
Great
Count
is conceded to be a Stuart, and his ap
pearance in England to marry a Scottish
noblewoman is at least a curious incident
of the day worth briegiog to the notice
of the lovere of historical romance.

and helping,

first time appreciated the horror of her
situation, arid tho fact that with th* moat
rigid eoonomy the little that remained,
even if oonflned to their own family, could
not me made to last more than another
month, end beyond that there was not the
slightest gleam of hope. 8hs lived for

whith may bo added a raoipa far killing

people engaged to private theatricals,
At uny rate Mrs. Sherman has allowed no
element of “fastness" to take root iu her
family, and her household retsius an old-
time simplicity and purity in tbe midst of
a vary nay and light-hearted world. She
has lately written or edited a memoir of
her illustrious father, in which it seems
be died a professor of tbe Catholic feith.
—Bine* the first records of the reoent
aeoident at Niagara Falls some additional
e rtioulars have been published eonoern-
g Thomas Conroy, “the hero of tbe
oataraot,” M be hae beeu enlted. He ia
of Irish descent, born in Ottawa, Canada,
and about twenty-five years old. Ue has
lived in Niagara about auvon years, snd
bra for some time been a guide at tbe
Cave of the Winds. Iu 187 J he made an
exoursion under tb* Falla with Professor
Tyndall, and that eminent BCientis', in a
repoit of Ibe trip, spoke of Conroy’s he
roic qualities. He has * powerful fraroo,
enormous strength, end unfailing cour
age. When first Conroy learned of tbe
aeoident tbe uuloituuute M’Ciillongh was
sitting on tbe rook above tbe fatal Fall*,
apparently nearly exhausted, and bopeleaa
of escape from impending deafb. Con
roy consulted no one, bnt immediately
prepared to go lo bis rescue wilh cooluees,
cere snd courage. He silently and oere-
fully picked bis way along tbe dangerous
coarse antil be went with tbe rushing tide
of waters to Ibe rook, where olung tbe
gfiiveriog, cibaniited M’Oullough. lb®
result ia well known—bow, rehcned end
reaener amidst infinite peril, both teaebed

hiutic about* by an exulted tbroog who
bad gathered on tbe banks.

one of liia lyrio poems, which produced
a silent admiration of bia modesty and

pressed th* utmost contempt for lions.
“You talk about tb* majesty of the lion,”
said ho,chatting onodty at a party in Lon

do not know the t«*«t. There is no
mare majwity abatil hist to the foraat
than there in about that poodle. It is all
poetry. Lido* are arrant cower da—cow
ardly, sneaking beasts. Yon can hardly
tell a lion from a donkey when you oom*
upon him in tbe forest; end if yon eome
opou a lion suddenly, bis first impulse is
to tuok bia toil between bis legs and bolt.
