however, untila week ago Monday, when
he took to his bed. Malarisl fever soon
manifested itself, which finally developed in-
to typhoid. -_It was not until Sunday morn-
ing, however, that’hls-life was despaired of. »
Announcement of this critical condition was
made and prayers said for his recovery in
all the Roman Catholic churches of the city,
Sunday. In the afternoon a council of phy—
sicians was called by Drs. Levi Ives and
Dnggett, and it wasconcluded there was
little if any hope. During the day the iatt
sacraments were administered to the dying
clergyman by Rev. Mr. Cooneyof St. John’s
church. Monday morning the patient was

the death bed were his relatives, all the
Roman Catholic clergy of the city. Rev. Dr-
Carmody and Rev. Lawrence Walsh of
Waterbury. To the last the dying clergy-
man was conscious and recognized all those
about him.
Rev. Mr. Murphy was born in County
Kildare. Ireland.in1845. A few years after,
his father having died, his mother came to
this country, bringing with her her four
children, of whom the deceased was the
second, and settled in Bridgeport. He re-
ceived the, rudiments of his educttion in the
Bridgeport publieaohool’, going from thence

1872 he wasjppointed the successor of Rev.
E. J. thrien as pastorof .St,‘-‘Mary's church
this city. The new church ontllillhouse
avenue had been begun. but the work was
progressing slowly. Rev. Mr. Murphy took
hold of affairs with the energy characteris-
tic of him and after two years of hard labor
the church was completed and dedicated
October 25. 1874. The edifice it is esti—
mated, cost over $200,000, and is said to be
the finest in the diocese. Rev. Mr. Murphy,
during the few years of his priesthood, oc-
cupied many positions of importance. At
the last synod. he was secretary and also a
member of the bishop’s counsel. For three
years he was secretary of the diocesan
conferences. ' He ,was also for three years

by the Homdohnflefitarin, member of Con-

Starin line of atoninboats, running from this
city to New York. The report proved to be
correct, the: island having been purchased by
Mr. Starla throughione of his ,sgents. and
a force of men was at once set to work to _
prepare the island fora grand resort for ex
cursionsfrcm New York, the Island being
about 20 miles from the metropmis. _ The
island is about fifty acres in ; extent. The
New Rochelle Press has a column in reference
to the event and-says : “Yesterday we had
the pleasure of interviewing Hon. John H.
Stalin's agent. who ,was'. in town looking

7 Locust Island. as most of our people are
aware, contains something over fifty acres of
ground, is well shaded by a heavy growth of
maple and locust trees, and is most charming-
ly laid out as a landscape garden, with wind-
ins walks, Clumps of shrubbery, grottoes, ar-
bors and the like. Nearly $150,000 have
been expended in beautifying the place.
For many years Locust, or, as it is to be
hereafter known, Starin's Glen Island, was
occupied by a gentleman of means as his
summer residence, and his house standing on
the most elevated portion of the island is not
the least attractive feature of this future
pleasure resort. It has extensive outbuildings,
green-houses, etc.
Next year, while maintaining its character
for order and- respectability, Mr. Starin in-
tends to make his island a more general
resort by running a regular line of steamers
between ittni the city. These steamers, of
which he intends putling two on the line,
w ii each make a round trip every four hours,
touching at Whitestone and New Rochelle.
The somewhat autocratic government of
the Grand Central depot in New York has
recently been brought into court. There is an
entrance from 42d street for horse-curs only.
Passengers are forbidden to go in there. One
passenger, being in a hurry. did run In that
way a while ago, and reached his train. He
was a commuter and had his ticket. The
Harlem sentinels who guard the approach
pursued him, dragged him off the train after
he proved his rights to be on it, and pulled
him out the forbidden path that he had come
in at, compelling him to s'art fresh and enter
by the proper route. The man ,sued, and,
after winning his case. lost it on appeal.
Now it has been heard by the supreme court,
and the original decision awarding him dam-
ages from the Harlem road has been confirm-
ed- The right of the company to forbid
passage that way is not denied, but the right
to punish for disobedience, the court remarks,
belongs to the law. If a man trespasses on
your lot, and reaches home that way, you
cannot go out after him, drag him back
across your premises, and then make him go
around them. In other words, the trouble
was that the watchman did not watch close
enough, and the successful dodger of them is
all right. More vigorous watching and
sharper devices to pass the gatc may be ex-
pected—Courant. '
Probable Result of the Exodus.
Information has been received by the Col-
ored Refugee Relief Board of St. Louis from
their accredited agents, and also from public
officers in Kansas, stating that all refugees
who have gone or been sent there have found
work at fair wages. General Conway claims
to be backed up by a number of wealthy
philanthropists in the East, and says money
will not be wanting to carry out any plan
which may be decided on to help these refu-
gees. But certain Quaker gentlemen have"
gone to visit the negroes at certain points
before they'scnds boats to bring emigrants up
the river.
It seems as if mighty movements of popu-
lation tocertain centres were providentiai,
and doubtless this negro movement has some
great political and social meaning, although
'wemay not as yet be able to faflom it or ac-
count for it. When the move becomes
more general, as is predicted, what are the
,southerners to do for labor, and by whom is
the cotton crop to be raised and cured ? The
loss of that crop would be a National calami-
ty, and its effects would be felt in other
countries as well. In the South all classes
will miss the patient black, who was accus-
tomed to pay ten_-do‘lnrs per annum rent for
an acre of land not worth five dollars for the
fee simple, and double price for all necessa-
ries. The planters and storekcepcrs commit-
ted the error of demanding the pound of
hash, exacting the blood also, and thus
over—reached themselves—N. Y. Witness.

Tun: DOWN-HEABTED MAN WANTED TO
SEE m—About 10 o’clock yesterday morn—
ing, two men met on Sixth street, and began
threatening and calling each other names.
One finally called the other a liar, and the
two were about to grapple when a woman
opened the door and said :—
"Gentlemen, are you about to fight 2"
“We are 1" they answered together.
“Then have the kindness to wait 11‘ mo-
ment." she continued. “My poor husband
has been sick fonweeks and weeks, and is
now just able to sit up. He is very down—
hearted this morning, and if you’ll only
wait, till I can draw him up to the window,
I know he’ll feel very grateful to both of
you.” -
She disappeared in the house, and after one
look into each other's faces, the men smiled,
shook hands and departed together.—.Delroit

A Cry for More Freedom.
[ N. Ymunel
In the doubtful dusk of the morning gray,
With the hammer and drill and jimmy and
crank,
Some high toned men they plundered a bank,
And the precious spoil they carried away,
What desolation the owner found 1
And he said, “a lesson it teaches me -
I’ll set a file of soldiers around- ’
These heightened coves hev tel... too free-
It seems to me
They hev ben too free—
And be stationed soldiers. solemn and still
And his vaults he piled with the gold again:
Then came on tiptoe the high toned men
With hammer andcrow and jimmy and drill-
“We are crushed in the tyrant’s fangs!" '
cried,
As they met the troopers; we're slaves,
may be!
The spectacle cruelly wounds our pride;
If they went off we should feel more free—
Withdraw ’em and we
Should feel more free 1"
they
The high-toned men they lingered there
With jimmy and drill and hammer and
crow,
And they kept a-walking to and fro,
With a persecuted and saddened air,
And a mule team waited beside the well,
“You troopers go off and let us be I”
They said, "We aint doin’ nothin’ at all,
But if you 'uns went we should feel more
free.
We all agree
We should feel more free.”
And the high-toned men uttered dismal
croaks,
And flourished their jimmy and hammer
and saw,
And shouted, “You ought to obey the law
Which says that you shan’t be a watchin’
folks I”
Then the owner said, “I remember you!
You were here store and you went for me; ‘
‘N'yc hed full swing what would’n ye du?

“ Baby Mine."
The baby carriage made its appearance yes-
terday for the season of 1879. It, was occu- I
pied by the usual baby, and it was propelled
by the woman who looks into. 'all the store
windows as she goes along. ,A reporter who
foliowed the carriage for an hour found that
it collided with five (women, ten men, six
curb-blocks, four boxes and a street car, and V
every collision only made the woman more
determined to occupy two-thirds of the side—
walk if it took all summer. She succeeded.
They all succeed. A woman pushing a baby
carriage in front of her on the sidewalk is as
dangerous as seven roller-skaters and four
velocipede riders combined. She can‘t kill a
full-grown man quite as promptly as a run-a-
way team, but she can knock bis shins to
pieces. tumble him over, upset all his good
resolutions and leave him flint-hearted and
evil-minded. You can't dodge a baby cab.
Your only safe wayis to make a jump from
the curbstone or climb a ladder. They go
on wheels. They are supposed to be a con~
venicnce which no respectable baby can do
without. No matter who first got the idea
that jolting a baby around town, bobbing him
over curbstones and bouncing him over cross-
walks would sweeten his disposition-the
idea is correct. Put a man in a vehicle of
the sort and his back would be broken in an
hour, but babies have no backs. They are
simply great big hunks of sweetness. The
only reason why all the Union regiments in
the late war were not armed with baby car-
riages was because the factories could not
supply them. They would have ended the
war in one year. The woman with the baby
carriage needs no advice: She knows enough
to head the vehicle towards every crowd etc
can see. The thicker the crowd the more
business she has there. It is her duty to run
to all fires with it. to select the busiest
crosswalks, and to get in front of all runs-
way teams, and she perfectly understands it.
If there is any country on earth where these
vehicles are not in use, it is no country to
live in.—Detrot't Free Press.

The Biggest not the Bravest.
It is the first battle that tests the courage
of the soldier. Many think before the battle
that nothing can frighten them. When it
begins they are panic stricken, and disgrace
themselves by cowardice. Col. Chester, of
Connecticut, who commanded a company of
townsmen at Bunker Hill, used to tell a good
story of two of his soldiers in thatbattle. A
large, powerful man standing by the side of
a pale-faced youth of slender figure, said to
the comrade: ' .
“Man, you had better retire before the
fight begins. You will faint away when
the bullets begin to whiz around your
head." , ‘
The pale stripling replied:
“I don’t know but I shall, as I never
heard one, but I will stay and see."
He did stay, and was seen by Colonel
Chester during the battle, calm and firm,
loading and firing with great coolness. But
the burly giant by his side was missing,
and at the retreat was found alive and un-
harmed, secreted under a hay cock. ‘ Boast,-
ful words and moral courage to face any
danger rarely go togethgr.
