For a National Park.
A gentleman who has recently had
an interview with Senator Pritchard
found him very enthusiastic over the
prospect of establishing a national
park in western North Carolina. The
Senator has given a great deal of
thought to this project, and has suc
ceeded in arousing so much interest in
it that he now feels confident that he
can get a bill creating a commission to
establish the park through the Senate.
He has also interested President Mc
Kinley in the measure, which has for
its object the protection of the fauna
and flora of the Appalachian Moun
tains. Senators Quay and Tillman aie
lished in the Arena. We wonder that
the editor of that high-toned migazine
would dare to expos tbe descendants
of the Puritana in all their Lideout
deformity and to broadcast it a moon
the citizens of cultured Boston. Tb
story of their drgredation physically
is worse than what we read about of
the goitre districts of Switzerland.
Six fingers on each hand, ais
toes on each foot, rros-eyea,

But tbe degeneracy morally is fctill
worse for this preacher sava when
there is a gathering from neighboring
towns at a cattle ebow or other attrac
tion you will see as wicked a throng ot
human creatures as ever gathered at
White Chapel cr the Five Points, and
that the pens or prisons built for
drunken rowdies are filled before 9
o'clock in the morniog and these hood
lums insult every woman they meet,
and when night comes both men and
women revel in the wild orgies of a
promiscuous dance. And yet some of
those Boston editors are still crying
"Stop thief!" to distract public- atten
tion from their own shame. Once be
fore I have alluded to Mr. Stetson's
statement that the marriage relation in
Massachusetts is almost a nullity, and
that separations are more common
than legal divorcer. Not long since
another New England writer astound
ed the publio by declaring that in
many towns and villeges tbe sound of
the Sabbath bell was never beard, nor
the church door ever opened and re
dgion was going rapidly into disuse
and innocuous desuetude.

Bessie Ireland. Patrick confessed hia

Old IrUk War CrUa.
Like tbe modern cowboy yell of tbe
western troops in the Cuban campaign,
tbe war cries and slogans of tbe an
cient Irish clans often had much effect
in inspiring fear In the enemy and
courage and enthusiasm in the com
mand. The simplest and moat fre
quent of old Erin's war cries was
"Faire. falre." signifying -watch." or
"look out." It was precautionary a!g
nal and waa commonly written "Far
rah." From it the modern -hurrah"
Is supposed to have been derived. An
other cry waa "A bualdh. which
meant "to the victory." It waa pro
nounced -aboo." and followed the
same of the clan, or leader, according
to circumstances, like -O'Neill aboo,"
or -Clann Conail aboo." Frequently
"a bualdh" la construed Incorrectly ia
modern English to mean "forever.'
Tbat translation applies to "go brath.'
