THE REFORM MEETING IN DUBLIN.—On SMUT-
day evening Mr. E. Beale(' arrived in Dublin. A depute-
tion from the Irish Reform League was in attendance at
the Westland-row station to receive him, but they missed
him by accident. However, shortly after he reached the
European Hotel he was waited upon by the deputation,
and cordially welcomed to Ireland. Later in the evening
the members of the League came to pay their respects to
Mr. Reales, who addressed them at some length, stating
that the English people wished to know the feeling of
Ireland on reform, and were determined to give them every
aid in their power to obtain a just and liberal mea-
sure. At 10 o'clock Mr. Ernest Jotes, accompanied by
Messrs. Carter, of Leeds ; Councillor Murray, of Man.
chester ; M. Clayton, secretary to the Northern Branch of
the English Reform League, and other gentlemen, arrived
is Dublin. They were received and welcomed at the North-
wall by • deputation from the League, and accompanied to
the European Hotel, where • conference was held in
esfereace to the proceedings of the reform meeting.
16faeliminary meeting of leading members of the
and Irish Reform Leagues was next day
in the European Hotel, The O'Donoghue, M.P.,
in the chair. The O'Donoghue opened the
proceedings by congratulating the meeting on ,
the presence of Mr. Rea es, the chairman of
the English Reform League, a fact which guaranteed to
the Irish reformers the earnest and willing co-operation of
the great body of the English people in the effort to secure
for Ireland those political rights to which she was justly
entitled. Mr. Belles, Mr. Ernest Jones, Mr. Carter,and Coun-
sailor Murray also addressed the meeting, and Messrs. Molloy,
Shanley, Dillon, Cooke, Richardson, and other members
of the Irish Reform. League, stated that that body held
exactly the same priuciples as the English League, and
would work with it for the same end, and they had a con-
fident hope that the mutual aid afforded by the English
and Irish reformers to each other would ultimately realize
• full measure of politica rights for the two countries.

THE FATAL MAHOOAIFT.—A story is told about
Ike late W. Hope, the wealthy banker of Amsterdam, and
lee of his purchases. He had bought a picture as •
Rembrandt and given 2,000 guineas for it. Finding that
h did not quite fit the frame, he sent for a carpenter to
ease it • little. Whilst watching the operation he re-
ns:lied how wonderfully the picture was planned, oozy.
littering that it was nearly 200 years old. ' That is im-
liasible," said the carpenter. n This wood is mahogany—
sal mahogany had not been introduced into Europe at
that time.' Mr. Hops burnt the picture.—Combat
