The Catholic Jubilee.
Tlie Jubilee mission among the Catholics
commenced yesterday, and will continue to
the !>tli instant. The Jubilee was com-
menced yesterday at the Cathedral by
Father O'Connor, and will be continued
with the following programme of daily ser
vices: 5 a. in., mass and instructions; 8
a. m., mass ana sermon; 1p.m., instruction
for children; 7.30 p. m., rosary,sermon and
benediction of the blessed sacrament.
Confessions daily from 5 a. m. to noon, and
from 2.30 p.m. to 10 p. m.
Eight-Hour a-Day Movement.
It is generally understood among the con-
tractors here that the eight-hour-a-day
movement, so far as it applies to this city,
will assume definite shape to-day. Accord-
ing to the notice served on the bosses by
the Carpenters and Joiners union and tin-
ners, it is eight hours or nothing, but, not-
withstanding this, hopes are still enter-
tained that a compromise will be made on a
basis of nine hours, as originally proposed
by the bosses. The movement here has not
yet been made among other classes of labor.
The Histrionics To-Night.
From the appearance ot the box sheet it
is safe to say that the largest audience ever
assembled in the Tremont Opera-house will
gather there to-night to witness the Lady
of Lyons, presented by the Galveston His-
trionic society, as a complimentary benefit
to Manager Greenwall. Every seat in the
lower house has been reserved, besides
some hundred or more camp-stools marked
oft in the aisles. The reserved seat section
of the first gallery has also been entirely
checked off, and, lor the first time in the
history of the house, the gallery will con-
tain pre-eminently a fashionable audience.
The Foreign Stone-Cutters.
The Mallory steamship Comal arrived
yesterday from New York with the fifty
atone-cutters from Scotland, whose arrival
was foreshadowed several days ago by a
correspondence between the Knights of
Labor of New York and this city looking to
the interception of the men at this point
tinder authority of the United States sta-
tute. which prohibits under penalty the im-
portation to this country or foreign con-
tract later. The knights here having ob-
tained a legal opinion that no proceedings
would hold as against the Mallory line,
(hey merely bringing the laborers from
New York,' abandoned the idea of in-
stituting proceedings under the law
and in lieu of this appointed a committee
of their order, who waited upon the foreign-
ers yesterday ujion their crrival and tried
to carry their point by means of moral sua-
sion, setting forth to them what they term
nn outrage against honest labor resorted to
by the capitol contractors in employing
convict labor to work on the construction
of the capitol building. With what success
their mission his been crowned will not be
known until to-day, when the foreigners
depart for the scene of their labor.

Deputy United States Marshals Patrick
and Bradshaw returned yesterday from
Chester, 111., whither they carried Travis
W. Nash, recently convicted in the United
States court at this place for robbing the
mails and sentenced to two years' impris-
onment.
The brisk southeasterly breeze prevailing
yesterday caused quite a high tide in the
bay, and in the gulf there was quite a heavy
sea running.
Within the past two months hundreds of
ornamental shade trees have been planted
on the sidewalks throughout the burnt dis-
trict, and it is the question of only a very
short time when that portion of the city
will resume its former umbrageous appear-
ance.
The ex-volunteer firemen met yesterday
aiternoon, as previously announced, for
the purpose of electing officers and effect-
ing a permanent organization, but owing
to the small attendance this action was de-
ferred until next Sunday, when another
meeting will be held for the purpose.
Chosen Friends Picnic.
The Chosen Friends picnic, which was
continued yesterday at Schmidt's garden,
was well attended during the afternoon and
evening, and closed upon a very decided
success. The grounds were crowded last
night to witness the fireworks, and the dis-
play made was grand and varied, embrac-
ing nearly every device known to the pyro-
technic art. The attractions during the
afternoon consisted of music and the usual
number of games and diversions for the
young folks incident to every well appointed
picnic. During the evening dancing was
enjoyed by the older ones, and was kept up
till an early hour this morning, Two brass
bands were in attendance during the entire
festival, furnishing music almost con-
stantly. The grounds were well supplied
with booths, from which refreshments of
every character were served at reasonable
prices. On the whole, the picnic may be
written down as an unqualified success.
Fire on the Government Wharf.
About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a fire
occurred on the Government wharf, which
is located in the bay just across the chan-
nel, and which was formerly used in the
handling of brush for the government jet-
ties. Chief of Fire Department Oldenburg,
with six firemen of company No. 2, repaired
to the scene, in boats, and, with some eight
or ten men sent over by one of the revenue
cutters, the flames were extinguished by use
of buckets, after about $300 damages had
been done, by the burning of a portion of
the wharf and a lot of stakes that were
piled upon it. No general alarm was
sounded.
Maritime Rotes.
The Mallory steamship San Marcos, A.
C. Burrows, master, sailed yesterday for
New York with a cargo of cotton, cotton-
seed oil and hides.
The Mallory steamship Comal, James
Bolger, master, arrived yesterday from New
York with passengers and a general cargo.
The Morgan steamship Aransas, William
Theissen, master, arrived yesterday from
Corpus Christi,and sailed later for Brashear
with a general cargo.
The Morgan steamship I. C. Harris, Geo.
Staples, master, arrived yesterday from
Brazos Santiago, and will sail this morning
for Brashear.
A Paintul Accident.
Mr. Antone Sommer, who resides on the
corner of Thirty-third and Broadway, had
the misfortune yesterday afternoon to have
the first joint of the second finger of the left
hand almost severed by the tipping over of
a heavy stove, which he was assisting a
nejghbor to remove. The balanoe of the
joint was amputated by surgeons a shor
time after the accident, and the wound
dressed. It proved to be a very painful
operation, the patient failing to suocumb to
the influence of chloroform.
Prominent Railroaders.
There arrived yesterday in a special car
from Boston Mr. Wm. B. Strong, president
and Isaac T. Burr, director of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe. President Strong is
accompanied by his wife and daughter.
These gentlemen, it is understood, will re
main here until Tuesday. The object o
their visit is in connection with negotiation
pending between the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe, and they will probably make a trip over
the line of the latter road before leaving
Texas.

There has been a severe drouth in the
center of Tamaulipas, which has lasted
since last May. On almost all the ranches
large numbers of horses and cattle have
died. It is said the San Romans have lost
1500 head of horses, mules, cattle and
sheep.
The Two Republics of Sunday says: On
the morning of the 21st instant, Albino Po-
sada, a wealthy citizen of the San Felipe
del Progreso, district of Ixtlahuaca, state
of Mexico, disappeared from his home. A
general search was instituted. On the 16th
instant the kidnapped man was found. He
had not yet been subjected to the tortures of
martyrdom so frequent in those terrible
cases, and was brought home perfectly
sound, with the exception of a few
bruises given him when he resisted
the attempt to carry him off. He is suffer-
ing from nervous prostration. He said that
about 7.30 o'clock, on the morning of the
12tli (Monday), he started out of town to-
ward a small farm that he owns, and on the
way he was attacked by five men, who hit
him very suddenly. He was then gagged
and tied. The baiidits dressed him up in a
woman's suit, which they carried with
them. They blindfolded him. put wax in
his ears, and then mounted him on a
horse. He passed for a sick woman,
as the bandits had done up his head in
big bandages. In this way they took him
past the town to a deep gorge near by,
where they placed him under guard. The
family of Posada did not miss him till the
second day after the occurrence, and ad-
viffd the governor, who sent 000 men, in-
cluding soldiers and volunteers, in every
direction, till Posada and one of his jailers
weie caught, the others escaping for the
time being. The kidnapper taken with
Pospda wffti delivered to the prefect of Ixtla-
huaca to be conveyed to the District Court,
but on the way there tried to escape, and
was shot, The governor of Micnoacan
moved actively in the matter, andsucceded,
on the 18th or 20th instant, in running down
four suspects.
The Pueblo legislature has decided in
favor of changing the presidential term to
six years.
Did Not Surrender Their Admiration.
To The News.
Hempstead, April 30,1S86.—If the Grand
Army of the Republic imagine that the
South surrendered their admiration of
southern heroism, or the attachment for
those whom she called to the field aud the
council during the trying scenes of the late
war, they are mistaken, and it appears that
the recent ceremonies and enthusiasm
at Montgomery have shown them their mis-
take. The meeting at Albany was doubtless
instigated by the stalwarts to resuscitate
the failing strength of the party by giving
new impulse to the flourishes of the bloody
shirt. General Barnum, whose eloquence
was up to the standard at the meeting of the
Benedict Arnold, teaching treason. It
seems to me that the parallel wonld be com-
plete between Mr. Davis and George Wash-
ington, in the hypothetical case of the sub-
jugation of the colonies by the mother
country and the subsequent rendition of
honors to the great leader of the revolution
by his compatriots and co-rebels. Doubt-
less Benedict Arnold, the patriot in the
hypothetical case, would have called a
meeting of the truly loyal subjects of his
majesty, and would have denounced the ex-
rebels in terms as strong or stronger than
did the presiding officer of the stalwart
meeting in New York. The animus of
the Albany meeting can not represent
the feeling of the patriotic North. It was
rather the hissing that tells of the iguoble
sectional hate. Tne emanation comes from
minds too little to concede to virtuous sen-
timent the merit of fidelity in matters hav-
ing their well-springs in the affections, and
deep rooted in the ties of race and vicin-
age. These ties constitute the very base of
social refinements, and can never be severed
by the edicts of tyranny, come they from
crowned despot or the wild demands of a
domineering section. The war decided no-
thing but the power of a State to peaceably
•secede from the federal Union. The right
still remains a debatable question, involv-
ing all the subtle constitutional interpreta-
tions that have arisen since the ratifica-
tion of the federal compact. The South re-
tains her unimpaired manhood, willing to
abide the issue of the war, and to lend ner
efforts in securing the grand destiny of a
common country. But she has no patience
with the effrontery that would demand ob-
livion for our gallant dead or any abate-
ment of our regard for those leaders of the
southern movement who were the true ex-
ponents of the principles for which we
fought. While the northern soldiers are
being petted and pampered and pensioned
at the expense of the whole country, let the
crippled South have the privilege of honor-
ing tier heroes. To this the true, chivalrous
federal soldier will say amen. Leber.
They Know Not What They Do.
Journal of Commerce.
There will soon b'e a scarcity of golden
eggs, for the strikers and the boycotters are
not only killing the goose, but destroying
the nest as well. The mass of workingmen
who are led into those acts so fatal to their
own well being, do not intend any evil. The
leaders are jealous of their prerogatives,
ambitious to show their power and the dis-
cipline they can maintain, and ignorant or
indifferent as to the result of the contro-
versy in which they are engaged, and which
they manage with so little judgment aud
discretion. A large proportion of the rank
and file of these labor organizations do not
believe in the wisdom of their course, bat
are swept along with a current which it re-
quires more than ordinary courage to re-
sist. The sensible laborer would call a halt
if he could, but the violence of the few over-
rides the 1 eason of the many, and the con-
test must go on to the bitter end.
Trade ot all descriptions is fast becoming
demoralized. The loss of confidence is
enough i 11 itself to give a check to all busness
operations, but the large number of people
thrown out of employment puts a stop to
purchases and lessens everywhere the de-
mand for consumption. We are referring
now simply to the distribution of merchan-
dise. There was a promise of a fair spring
trade. The retail dealers throughout the
country had bought sparingly for several
seasons, and were bare of stock. The pro-
ducers had been curtailing, and there was
little accumulation in their hands. With a
brisk demand for distribution aud no large
surplus pressing on the market, there
seemed every reason to hope for greater
activity at remunerative prices.
The change has not been produced aloue
by the railroad troubles in the West aud
Southwest, although these have had a large
share in the interruption of business. The
same causes, although on a lesser scale,
have been at work all over the country.
There is not a city, town, village or hamlet
in the whole United States which has not
felt the checking hand, if not the dreaded
paralysis. Trade has lost much of its vital-
ity, and for this season, if not for the whole
year, is past recovery.
Still more permanent injury has been in-
flicted on all classes of industrial enter-
prises. Capital has been very abundant,
and for some time has been seeking for
profltable investment. New channels of in-
dustry were being opened to meet this out-
look, and for the first time for several years
there was a prospect that men of means
would be tempted to lay aside their timidi-
ty and to join hands with the promoters of
new schemes of production. At the thres-
hold of this advance the apostles and lead-
ers of the labor movement have planted
themselves with such excessive demands
in behalf of their organizations, accom-
panied with menaces of further trouble,
that capitalists have lost heart again and
shrunk back into their shells.
The difficulty has extended to real estate,
and building operations have been largely
checked by the threatening attitude of all
classes of workmen. The Brooklyn Eagle
makes a careful estimate of the loss to that
city alone of over 1000 houses which would
have been built the current year but for the
extravagant demands ot laborers and the
self-asserting tone of those who presume to
dictate terms without regard to the inter-
ests or rights of employers. Assuming the
cost of such abandoned improvements to
be 94,000,000, and half of it to be represent-
ed by wages, here are $2,000,000 lost to the
workingmen, and through them to the city
at large, by the effect of these persistent
strikes and boycots.
There is also an unsettled feeling through-
out the community, because no one can
foresee for a single day in what new quar-
ter the trouble may be felt. To compel the
managers of one street railroad to succumb
to their demands the leaders of the revolt
are ready to throw out of gear, if they can,
the business machinery of the whole couu-
try. We learned a day or two since that
the drivers of trucks and furniture vans
had been approached to see if an arrange-
ment could not be made by whtch all local
transportation could be stopped, and no
one be allowed to move his furniture and
household goods on May day! The pro-
jectors of this scheme thought the resulting
distress and trouble among families would
be so great if this was adopted, that society
would be compelled to enforce the claims
of t]ie strikers as the only means of relief.
Let no one suppose that we are exagger-
ating the prevailing unrest. There has
been ample reason for it. Of course a gen-
eral turnout would lead to violence, aud
the military in such u case has been the
only force dreaded by the disturbers of the
public pefcee. A systematic attempt has
therefore l een made"to render this support
of law and order ineffectual by appeal? to
the passions and prejudices of the members
of the National Guard. A secret circular
was prepared and has been sent to those
who, it was thought, might be influenced
by such arguments. A copy fell into oar
hands, and we annex it in full to show the
spirit of the men engaged in this incendia-
ry work:
to military men.
The country is filled with talk of strikes.
Any day you may be called out to shoot
down citizens to prevent them from de-
stroying pioperty. Suppose they should
destroy property, will it improve matters
for you to destroy lives?
You would not draw a revolver on a pick-
pocket though you caught him in the act.
You would not, individually, take a miu's
life upon your hands, though he had harmed
you.
Is killing men more justifiable when
hundreds are killed?
Will you do at wholesale what you would
shudder to do singly?
These men do not intend violence, they
ask only justice.
They are driven to protest by the grind-
ing of their masters.
These corporations, these corrupters of
legislatures and judges, these bribers of
courts and councils, refuse to pay their
men a man's wages, while they are paying
interest and dividends on millions above
the actual cost,every dollar of which is clean
stealing.
It is to uphold the iniquitous laws which
permit such things that you are ordered to
risk your own lives and to take the lives of
your'brother men.
Will you obey? Will you fire? Will you
shoot down your helpless and unarmed bro-
ther?
Go home. Tear off your slave's trappings.
Break your murderous weapons. And, if
ever you pray, pray David's prayer, " De-
liver me from blood guiltiness."
All this unhealthy excitement means a
world of loss and suffering among those
who live by daily wages, ana have no accu-
mulated stores to fall back upon when re-
munerative employment can not be ob-
tained. Cf course they do not suffer alone,
but the capitalists and employers have
either money or credit to keep them from
actual want until returning sense leads
them back to better times. The day
laborer is not thrifty as a rule, and he is
allowing the men who control him to empty
his larder, cut off his supplies, and bring
him face to face with lean-eyed famine.
Every spindle stopped, every loom silent,
every hammer, saw, trowel and spade laid
at rest, means so much less for him to eat,
so much more for him to suffer.

His Undiminished Faith in the Panama Canal
Scheme.
London Truth.
M. de Lesseps must possess a most happy
temperament. The cheerfulness with which
he utters preposterous allegations about
the Panama canal, in the face of the intel-
ligence of the whole world, is amusing and
amazing. He still snaps his fingers and
joyously alleges that the original estimate
of $220,000,000 will " nearly " sufllee to fin-
ish the canal; when he knows, and he
the world knows that
the money has already
and and not more than
the work is done. He
airily disposes of the tumultuous Chagres
river by declaring that he has " changed
the whole course of the river and made it
run on the other side of the mountain alto-
§ ether," while everybody knows that he has
one no such thing; that the Chagres
bounds down its old accustomed channel,
and that it will be a perpetual menace to
any canal, unless it shall be put in shackles
and led aside at a cost of $100,000,000 addi-
tional. The "distinguished inventor," and
he certainly deserves the title, al-
leges that "the worst of the excavat-
ing has been finished," when it is notori-
ous that the rock-cutting has scarcely
been scratched; and that at the present rate
of excavating tne whole work will be fin-
ished in 1889, when according to his own
figures if the present rate were doubled it
would still take twelve years 1 It looks as if
this remarkable man were either insane or
suffering a mental impairment on account
of age, which amouats to the same thing.
His history, his years, his ability, and his
courage entitle mm to sympathy; but hun-
dreds of millions are no joke, and he can
not be permitted to bamboozle the world
without remonstrance.
A Golden Wreath Around a Skull.
Rome Letter in the Boston Pilot.
One specimen of gold work recently dug
up is wreath of broad, thin leaves, which
surround a blackened skull. In the center
of the wreath is a tiny, comic mask. This
gold-crowned, grinning skull, now black-
ened by time, was found at Bolsena, forty
miles from Rome. It is evident that the
skull is that of a person who died young.
The bright gold wreath shows the esteem
and affection in which the dead one was
held by liis or her surviving friends. It is
a touching record of a dead past.

INDIGESTION
To strengthen the stomach, create nu
appetite, and remove the horrible depres-
sion and despondency which result from
Indigestion, thero is nothing so effective
as Ayer's Pills. These Pills contain no
calomel or other poisonous drug, act
directly on the digestive and assimilative
organs, and restore health and strength to
the entire system. T. P. Bonner, Chester,
Pa., writes: "I have used Ayer's Pills
for the past 30 years, and am satisfied
I should not have been alive to-day, if It
had not been for them. They
Cured
me of Dyspepsia when all other remedies
failed, and their occasional use has kept
me in a healthy condition ever sinoe."
L. N. Smith, Utica, N. Y., writes: "I
have used Ayer's Pills, for Liver troubles
and Indigestion, a good many years, and
have always found them prompt and
efficient in their action." Kichard Norris,
Lynn, Mass., writes: "After much suffer-
ing, I have been cured of Dyspepsia and
Liver troubles
By Using
Ayer's Pills. They have done me more
good than any other medicine I have ever
taken." Jolm Burdett, Troy, Iowa,
writes: "For nearly two years my life
was rendered miserable by the horrors of
Dyspepsia. Medical treatment afforded
me only temporary relief, and I became
reduced in flesh, and very much debili-
tated. A friend of mine, who had been
similarly afflicted, advised me to try
Ayer's Pills. I did so, and with the
happiest results. My food soon ceased to
distress me, my appetite returned, and I
became as strong and well as ever."
