A Blirt Nketd «f Mat Patrick, The DAILY NSW» copies from Cbambera' Encyclopedia, a sketch of Saint Patrick, the anniversary of whose birtli will be celebrated to-morrow throughout the world: "Saint Patrick, a distinguished mis sionary of the fifth century, commonly known a* the Apostle of Ireland. There is Rome uncertainty aa to the date and place of his birth. The year of his birth is variously assigned to the years 377 and 387, of which the latter, if not even a later date, is more probable. Of the place, it is only known

for

certain, from his own

confession, that his father had a small farm near Bonavem Taberuisa and in one of the ancient lireshe is said to have been lorn at Nemthur. Arguing on these data, connected with other collateral indications, some writers assign his birthplace to the present Boulogne-*® r-Mer others to a place in the estuary of the Clyde (called from him Kiipatrick) at or near the modern Dumbarton. His father, he himself tells, was a deacon named Caipurmius his mother, according to the ancient biographers, was named Conches or Conchessa, according to some of these authorities a sister of Saint Martin, of Totirs. Patrick's original name is said to have been Succath, Patricius being the Roman appellative by which he was known. In his sirteerith year he was seized, while at his father's farm of Boniivem Tabemiw, by a band of pirates, and with a number of others was carried to Ireland, and sold to a petty chief, in whose employ he remained for six years after which he succeeded in effecting his escape, and, probably after a second captivity, went to Prance, where he became a monk, first at Tours, and afterwards in the celebrated monastery of Lerins. In the year 431 he went to Rome, whence he was sent by the Pope of the day, Celcstine, to preach in Ireland Palladius, who had been sent as missionary to that country a short time before, having died. Snch is thfi received account of his mission but Dr. Todd, his last biographer, regards this statement as erronewts, and fixes the late of his coming to Ireland eight years later. He was ordained in France, and arrived in Ireland in 482. His mission, was eminently successful. He adopted the expedient of addressing himself first to the chiefs, and of improving, as far as possible, the spirit of clanship, and other existing usages of the Irish for the furtherance of his preaching nor can it be doubted that he had much success in christianizing the ancient Irish system of belief and of practice. By degrees he visited a large portion of the kingdom, and baptised great numbers as well of the chieftains as of the people. According to the accounts of his Irish biographers, he founded 885 churches, and baptised with his own hand 12,000 persons. He is said also to have oidained a vast number of priests, and to have blessed very many monks and ntins. After he had bctm about 90 years engaged in his i.Jssionary enterprise, he is said to have fixed his see at Armagh about the year 4M and having procured two of his disciples to be ordained bishops, he held probably more than one synod, the decrees of which have been the subject of muoh controversy. He died at a place called Saul, near Downpatrick and his relics were preserved at Downpatrick down to the period of the reformation. The place is still venerated by the people. The date of his death is much disputed1, the Bollandists placing it at 480, while Ussher holds It to have been 458. Br. Todd inclines strongly to the latter opinion, in which cAse Patrick's age would liave been 126, or at least 116. The only certainly authentic literary remains of Saint Patrick arc his "Confession' apd a letter, both of very rude Latfnity, but of much historical interest. The letter Is addressed to Coroticus, who is supposed to have l*en a Welsh chieftain named Caradoc (from whom Cardigan is named), who had made a descent on the Irish coast, and slaia or c&rricd oif. witlLcircumatanoea of great cruelty, a otUQher of the Irish, many of whom were neophytes.

CORRUPT RUSSIANS.—The

revelations

of corruption among Russian military officials are interesting. About $8,000,000 were stolen in the contracts for a supply of commissariat carts which were never produced. In 1877 one contractor was ordered to find seven thousand wagons. The Bessarabian peasants offered to furnish them at two roubles—almost $1.50—a day, but the army officials Wanted wagons With iron axles, whioh the peasants agreed to provide at fiv€ roubles a day. The staff declared this price exorbitant, and immediately let the contract to a Russian to tarnish seven thousand wagons with wooden axles at six and a quarter roubles per diem. He sublet to the peasants at two roubles, and pocketed four and a quarter a day, or nearly $750,000 a month on the lot.

One of the primary objects of the Grand Army of the

Republic

is to perpetuate the

memory and history of dead comrades— those who died in the service, as well as those since the close of the rebellion. To carry out .this provkionof the association, it is desired by Morton Post, No. 1, of Terre Haute, to'have a complete record of the military history of all who may be buried in the vicinity of this city, and partieolarly those in the city cemetery. The undersigned have been appointed by the Post a committee to compile and prepare such record, and we desire it to be as full and correct as possible, as it is designed for preservation as a permanent record. We, therefore, call on the relatives and friends of any soldier buried in this citv to furnish us" the following information Name in full where born age at time of death branch of service, as infantry, cavalry, artillery—compaiy and regiment rank date ana maimer oi death —if killed in action, give name of battle if wounded in service, when and where and any other information of interest as regards the soldier's military history. If convenient give the section and number of lot where buried in the city cemetery which will aid us in designating the grave by number on a map of the cemetery, so that our memorial day decoration service can be properly performed. It is to be hoped that this call will be responded to. The men of 1881-5 are rapidly passing away, and we, tlieir survivors, can honor their memory by preserving a record of their 'services. The military history of every member of our organization is a part of the record of each post, and we want to add ihnt of our comrades who "went before/' The information asked for can be given in person to either of the committee, or sent through the mail.
