A literary mystery of a hundred years ago is recalled by thespecial centenary number, recently issued, of the Newry Telegraph, an Ulster tri-weekly. In its pages on April 19, 1817 under the sim- ple head of “ Postry,” appeared what Byron called “the most perfect ode in the language”—The Burial of Sir John Moore.” Byron, or Campbell, or any of the others to whom the poem was variously ascribed, would doubt- less have been proud to claim it. But the author was the obscure curate of Ballyciog, in Tyrone, Rev. Wolfe, and the fame of the Riece was put & posthumous fame for him. Not until his death, of consumption, in 1823, at the early age of thirty-two, did the authorship become known te the world. And Wolfe, who wrote much other yerse of merit, is remembered only by that one poem which sprang from the They Make Good whe keep themselves in fine Ehysical cenditien, Regular owels, active kidneys and liver, geed digestion, and Charles | columns of a provincial newspaper to universal recognition in the big world | of letters.—London Chronicle. Suspicious Chicago Police. A leg having been found in a sul case at Chicago, the police are sa to believe that “a murder was com- | mitted.” Why are they so everlasting- 1y suspicious—Kansas City Star. Ought to Be Relations.
