you not go to Cardinal McCloskey I" Answer:

as onerousn work imposed on him. It is not,

KllzD BY Tar STINo or A BeK.-A dii
tresslug event ocerred at Lydney on Friday
week, and was the subject of a Coroner's in.
ietry on the following day. via, the death of
Henry Larkham, Sr., a retired farmer, from
the sting of a bee. It appeared from the evi
endea given beforeMr. M. F. Carter, Divisional
Coroner, that at about 41 o'olock on the day
named Mr. L'srkbHm was in his son's garden,
and, on passing in front of the beehives, re
eilved a sting upou the temple. The old gen.
/leman at once returned to the house, and
asked a young mau named Lloyd to fetch the
blue bag, which was done, and the liquid blue
was applied. Lloyd lihkewise, at the teqnet of
Mr. Larkhatm, took an egg from his iooket
which he hed gitbered fromt a nest. Upon sit
ting down In the yard, Mr Larkhar head
fainted, and was bathed with vinegar and
water. This, Liwever, proved a powerless re
storative, deathL supervening within a quarter
of an bour after the sttng. Dr. O'nbleL.t was
called at the inquiry, and stated that he had
been sent for, ot> deceased died before he
oould roach the house. He had since exam.
eind the body and found a wound upon the
right temple tnilicted by a bee. This it was
which cauosed the death. Upon this testimony

for the dough, tbhe bread thus made having just
the necessary degree of salinity. When, how

In 180s the Catholis of Savannah, peti
tioned the Board of Edueation of that city
for a fair proportion of the school fund for
the support of the Catholic parochial
schools of the city. The petition while
treated with respectful attention was not
granted, mainly on the ground that doing
so would lead to the breaking up of the
public.asbool system. After discussing the
subject fully between the school-board, the
common council and the Catholic represen
tatives, the following communication was
unanimously adopted by the school-board.
SAVAXnAH, April llthb, 1870.
Rev. Wm. Jobhn Hamilton, Admlaistratorsnd V.G.:
Dear Sir:-The Board of Public Ednco
tion would be gratified to receive all yoar
free schools upon the following
PLAN.
1. The Catholic Schools shall be receiv
cation.
2. Catholse teachbers shall be preferred for
these schools when such as are qualified
can be obtained.
3. The text books used in these schools
shall be the same as are used in the other
public schools, except books on history,
which may be such as are commonly used
in Catholic schools.
4. These schools shall be opened with
reading the Scriptures, and the Lord's
Prayer. Such versions of Scripture may
be used as the teacher may prefer.
5. The School buildings shall be under
the control of the Board of Education.
6. The trustees of the Catholic school
buildings shall hbave power to withdraw.
them from the Board of Edueation at the
end of any school year whenever they are
dissatisfied with the arrangement, provided
that they shall give three months notice of
such withdrawal.
7. In case of such withdrawal the Board
of Education may remove all apparatus,
books, movable fixtures, and furniture
which they may have furnished for these
schools.
S. The Board of Education shall have
full control of the discipline, instruction,
and general management of these schools,
the same as of the other schools under their
care, including also the length of sessions,
the arrangement of school, courses of study,
work, and duties, and all the interests of
the schools.
9. The teachers of these schools will be
expected to attend the meetings of the
Normal class the same as teachers of other
public schools. They will give respectful
attention to the instructions of the super
intendeut, and are expected to exert them
selves to carry out his views in the man
agement and nlostruction of their schools.
10. The holidays shall be such as are
usually given in Catholic schools.
" The Board is ready and willing to re
ceive under its care and superintendence,
and subject to its rules and regulations, all
schools now or hereafter to be established,
and all school-houses now or hereafter to
belbnilt in Chatham County, and to ac
cept all teachers found officiating in such
schools, provided they shall be found after
examination to come up to the standard of
qualifications required by the rules of-the
Board."
•*The Board has no wish to interfere
with the conscientious views of individa
als or of rects with reference to the ques
tion of religious instruction, and should
any schools be placed under their charge
composed of pupils whose protectors desire
them to be educated in any particular
religions faith, the Board sees no objection
to ailowlog the respective school houses to
be used for the purpose of such religious
instruction, at a proper time of the day,
without interference, nevertheless, with
the usual scholi duties and arrangements,
or the es-ablished school hours."
The above was the unanimous opinion
of the Board of Education as expressed at
its last meeting, and I was instructed, as
President of the Board, to transmit the
same to yon.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
R. D. ARNOLD,
President B. P. E , City of Savannah, C. C.
W. 11. BAKER Secretary.

ILEPORT.
The Committee of Conference appointed
at the last meeting of the Board of Educa
tion, to nmeet the representatives of the
Roman Catholics, with reference to the
terms under which the Catholic schools in
Savannah might be placed under the con
trol of the Boerd, respectfully report.
That upon the evening of their appoint
meet they had an interview with the Rev.
Wm. John Hamilton, and the Rev. C. C.
Prendergast upon the subject:
That these gentlemen agreed to accept
all the conditions submitted by the Board

except the second and third. They desire
the following modifications of those ar
ticles, viz :
1st. That the following shall be substi
tuted for artacle 21.
'"Teachers in the Catholic schools shall
be in all cases members of the Catholic
Church, but to be subject to examination

tute for the 3I. Article.
*'The text-booke used in these schools
shall be the same as are used in othler pub
lica-schools, except books on history, geog
raphy, and rcading books."
In conclusion, the committee recom
mended to the Hoard the adoption of the
proposed amended plan, as being one ap
parently well calculated to settle this
vexed question upon a reasonable and prao
tical basts. HENRY WILLIAMS,
EIDWARD C. ANDERsON,
JOIN SCREVEN,
Earunnalh Moay 16th, 1870.
The Catholice joyfully accepted the
schools formni part of the public schools of
the city uf Savannah. The arrangement
has bto satisfactory to all, for while the
Catholice are enabled to educate their
children, Protestants are well satisfied in
having given them the opportunity of do
ing so.
Why not adopt this plan in New Or
leanso Your Catholica are not so rich and
eohoo at ontat rwr to -Abe
education of their Protestast neighbors'
children? Suheb injstiee is too glaring to
need explanation. As well might Catho
lies be asked to support Protestanthoborebn
where they will not go themselves as to
support schools where they will not send
their children.
This plan does not ask the division of
the school fund, it only asks to pay Catho
lie teachers for Catholic children. And
will any true American say that this is
wrong, and that they ought to be taught
by Jews, Calvinists, or Delete? But the
Secularist may cry out that he wants no
religion taught in the public schools. But
has he the right to have the public schools
supported at the public expense, and at the
same time conducted according to his views
and opinions ? Secularists, Infidels and
Nihiliste are greatly mistaken when they
iwoaginc-h tr
signed to carry out their views, and they
must understand that believers have as
good rights in the public schools as they
have.
There is another class of men who
imagine that the public schools are under
their especial care, because they hold
themselves forth.on all occasions as great
champions of public education. Yet these
men are so full of prejudice and bigotry,
that they can behold without any pangs of
remorse, or pity, hundreds of thousands of
poor children grow up in Ignorance, never
enter the door of a school house, because
these boasting advocates of education have
barred them out and placed such obstrao
etructions in their way as they could not
overcome. They have held forth an
abundance of literary loaves, made of
their own flour, baked in their own ovens,
and crossed with their own marks. They
hold theseo loaves forth, crying out to-the
starving multitudes, '' eat of these, or die,
or starve, we don't care which, in your
ignorance." This class, thank heaven, is
powerless in Austria and also in the city of
Savannah ;-are they so influential in New
Orleans as to deny the poor Catholic
children the education which the State has
provided for them? At all events, let the
trial be made, as has been done in Savan
nab. Do here as was done there. Ask,
and you shall receive, seek and you shall
find, knock and it shall be opened unto
you, and the same justice shall preside in
the Crescent City that for the last seven
years has rested over Savannah.

A MOST DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
From the Baton Rouge Advocate of the 9th,
we learn the details of a most distressing acci
dent which occurred in the river near that city,
resulting in the death of two most estimable
ladies and three children. It seems that on
Sunday night at 9 o'clock, Mrs. Thos. B. O'Con
nor, (the wife of a gentleman who is well known
to most of the subscribers of the STAR outside
of New Orleans,as its traveling agent in 1873,)
with her two children, and Mrs. Chas. O'Con
nell with one child, crossed the river in a skiff.
Toe boat was rowed by a negro man named
Leo, and the ladies were acoompanied by a
young boy named Bauer. The Adroeate says :
From BU or, we learn that in croseing the
current had carried the skiff down opposite
the coal fl et andl he suggested to the negro to
land below. In attempting to do an the skiff
ran upon a log and dipped water. The ladies
and children became very munch frightened and
stood up in the stern of the boat screaming
with fear, Mrs. OConuell holding her child,
eighteen months old, in her anms. About this
time the negro j:imped out of the skiff on the
log, ran out on shore and commenced calling
for help. Young B.tner says that he held on
to the bow of the ek if and endeavored to
steady it when he fonod the boat was taling
water very fast sat the stern and called to the
ladies to come forward quick. Before they
cobld do so the stern of the skiff went down,
and, clasped in each others arms, Mrs. .O'Con
nell and child and Mrs. O'Connor and her two
c iidren wont down with the skiff in water
about nix or eight feet deep. When he saw
the skiff going down he endeavored to free the
bow from the log in order to give the stern a
chance to rise up again, but before he could do
so the Jadies and ooi)dren had been swept out
of the skiff b) the current and were struggling
in the river. lie endeavored then to shove the
skiff to them in the hope that they could catch
hold of its sides and hold on until help could
be obtained, but alas I his hopes were in vain,
for already the loved ones of happy homes had
sank down to rise no more. The waters had
already closed over the loved ones of two hap
py homes that are made desolate by this sad,
sad misfortune.
Mr J. O'Kane Murriy, has recently publish
ed a letter in the Are Maria, wherein he gives
the following interesting statistics :
Hero is a fair---nd, I believe accurate--an
alyeis of the Irish element, past and present, in
the Catholic Church of this Republic. We
shall begin at the high-st rank.
As yet we have had but one Cardinal, and
his father and mother were Irish.
Of the ten deceased Archbishops, three were
Irish. or of Irish descent. Archbishop Carroll,
the first Bishop in this Republio, and, of coarse
the tlrst Archbishop, was of Irish descent. His
father was Irish The fist Archbishop of New
York, Cincinnati, and St. Louis were Irishmen,
two of them being yet alive. There are ten
living Arbchbishops, and of these four are Irish
or of Irnsh descent.
Of the 56 deceased Catholic Bishops of the
United Statee, 21 were Irish or of Irish descent;
and of the 56 Ihing Bishops, 29 are Irish, or of
Irish detscent. The first Bishops of New York,
Brooklyn, Phliladelphia, Pitteborg, Richmond,
Chicago, and many more of our great cities,
were Irishmen.
Of the 5 200 priests now alive and laboring
in tbise iopubio, ofully 30i;00, ur uetely ;w
thirds, are Irish or of Irish descent.
Comuing to the great body of our Catholic
people, cfil;cial stastitis warrant me in sayilug
that there are at least i,500,000 Catholics in the
United States; and of these it is beyond
question that 4,000.000, or nearly two-thirds of
the whole are Irish or of Irish descent.

of the Irish members present on the ocea
sion, demanded that household suffrage,
which was established for the English and
Scotch boroughs by the Reform Act of
1867, should be extended to the boroughs
of Ireland. The demand, on the very face
of it, was fair and just, while the inequali
ties which the concession of it would re
dress were shown to be of the gravest char
acter; but the answer of the British was
the rejection of Mr. Meldon's proposition
by 239 votes to 165. This, however, is not
the .worst circumstance to be noted in this
connection. The Ministerialist speakers
who opposed the Irish demand did so on
the groond that the result of the extension
of the suffrage in Ireland would be injuri
ous to the Whig and Tory parties I That
was actually the great argument of those
"constitutional" officials, Sir Michael
Hicks-Boeach and Attorney-General Gibson.
Major O'Gorman was so incensed at this
reckless voting down of an Irish measure
that on Monday, when the House of Com
mons entered on the discussion of the navy
estimates, be treated it to a sample of "pure
obstruction." He pressed two or three
hostile amendments to a division, frankly
explaining his reason, and lie was sup
ported by Mr. Biggar, Mr. Parnell, and a
tew other Irish members. This proceediog
led to a solemn declaration by Mr. Newde
gatetbat the forms of the House had been
abused; a statement which Mr. O'Shaugh
nessy, although he had just voted with the
Government, promptly denied. It occurs
to us that, even if the forms of the Hnnouse
had been abused, it would not have been
at all pnjnstifiable.
On the following night Mr. Biggar re
turned to bin so called obstiuction tactics,
not without provocation and not without
some success. On the motion for going
into committee on the Judicature Bill, he
rose to propose an amendment of which he
had given due notice, but the Speaker, who
is sharp enough usually, failed to see the
member for Cavan on this occasion, and
the bill went into committee. Mr.
Biggar, however, was not to be baulked.
He immediately proposed that progress
should be reported, and talked on his own
motion till the sitting was suspended by
the rules of the House. Not a single clane
of the Judicature Bill was discussed. and,
in fact, except for the passing of the Prison
Bill through the stage of third reading, the
record of the proceedings for the whole
night might be said to be a perfect blank.
In the discussion on Mr. Biggar's motion,
several Irish members speaking on the
Judicature Bill itelf, expressed their de
sire to see the County Courts Bill given
priority, while others suggested that the
twb measures should be referred together
to a select committee. Neither course is
likely to be adopted. So little Govern
ment business has been done this session,
that the Ministry will hardly do anything
to render the legislative barrenness more
striking than it is. The unexpected and
heavy defeat which they experienced on
Monday night in the House of Lords on
their proposal to prevent Catholic and
Protestant Dissenting services in the
churchyards in England, and which prac
tically disposes of their Burials Bill, will
no doubt be an additional reason for saving
their credit, by pushing on a comparatively
noopposed measure like that dealing with
the judicature of Ireland.
THE VERY REV. MONSIGNOR MAC CABE.
The Holy Father has raised Mgr. Mac
Cabe, V. G., P P., of Kingstown, to the
Episcopal dignity. Mgr. MacCabe has
been nominated Bishop of Gardara inparti
bus infjidelium and Bishop Assistant to his
Eminence the Cardinal-Archbishop of
Dublin. The choice of the Holy Father,
says the Freenan's Journal, will give great
delight to the people of Dublin and to the
Catholics of Ireland. On no cleric in the
Irish Church could the choice of the Holy
See fall to the greater satisfaction of all,
and no man could be more eminently fitted
for the lofty duty of assisting the Cardinal
Arbbishop in the administration of the
ArcI-diocese. The reputation of the new
Bishop is second to none for learning, piety,
ability and zeal, and all the virtues which
could adorn the prelatial character he has
exhibited in falfilling the functions of
Vicar General of the Archdiocese and par
iah priest of one of its most important par
ishes. In that parish the news will be
heard with mingled feelings, for if the peo
ple of Kingstown will mourn the loss of
their pastor, they will rejoice at the high
dignity he has attained.
The beautiful weather with which Ire
land hes been blessed for several weeks has
caused all the crops to present a most cheer
ing appearance. It is expected that the
produce this year in Ireland will largely
exceed that of last year. There would
teem to be reason for the hope that Ire
land is regaining some of her loss in popu
lation; the increase in 1876 was 17,000.
Emiigration lias decreased; so that one
cause of national " falling off" is lessened.
THIE ELECTION IN DUNGARVAN.
Dangarvan ihas returned Mr. F. H.
O'D)onell, Vice President of the Home
Ritle Confederation, by 137 .votes against
i18 for Mr. Mathewse Q. C. a Conservative
Catholic. The defeated candidate fought
Dungarvan in 1868, against Attorney- Gen
eral (now Justice) Barry, and won the seat,
in consequence of the strong popular feel
ing aroused by Mr. Barry 's conduct of the
Fenian trials.
