The Temperance Reformation in Ireland.
The late English and Irish papers give the most
cheering accounts Of the progress of temper
ance in Ireland. The Catholics have taken up
the cause in good earnest and through The in
Auence Of Rev. Mr. Matthew, and others,
thousands on thousands have signed the tee
total pledge. Ten Thousand, in the city OF
Limerick, alone, have signed the pledge. The
drunken glories of Garryowen are no more
whisky houses are giving up business in al
most all the small towns, and soap, coffee, and
tea houses are rapidly increasing.
The following is an extract of letter from
o. H. Fitzgerald, Mayor of Limerick.
81 have held about lao inquests since the
first of October, 1888 and can safely affirm
that one half of that number was caused, direct
ly or indirectly, by intoxicating liquors. But
thank God, brighter prospect is now dawn
ing. Your unparalleled exertions in the cause
Of temperance, have been under God, crowned
with the most signal success; and believe
no place more so than in Limerick moral
regeneration has taken place among the people
of this city, which is really most astonishing
and truly gratifying to every phlanthropic
mind. Our police reports are much lessened
petty sessions business considerably reduced
and even summonses in the Court Of Con
science have fallen off one third. Our streets
and places of public resort are regular and qu
Ct; and that which must be gratifying TO you, i.
the fact, that although reports have at different
times, been industriously circulated, of mem.
bers Of your society having broken their TEN
perance pledge, I have not been able to make
out solitary instance of such being the fact
But those who have so many years fattened
on the decentralization of the people, will die
hard; although they may as well give up the
ghost quietly, as their game is completely up

o'clock in the morning to give audience to his min
listers. He is good accountant, has great tact
and sound Judgment even in those things with which
lie is little acquainted, as he views matters from Il
right point of view. He is represented as man
of strong affections, generous and just He is free
from bigotry and is the first Mussuman who has
extended broad protection to Christians, or rails
ed them to any high rank. lie is moderate, eau
tious, and reserved, without pusillanmty or dis
simulation.-llis influence has been felt through
out Europe for some years, and he now holds the
balance Of the five powers, What his fate may be,
none can tell; but he has great resources, both in
himself and in a populous country devoted to his
interests and had not the European nations inter-
fercd, there is little doubt that he would soon have
snatched away the sceptre from the feeble hand of
'the Ottomlte."
lbrahim Pacha is the eldest son of All, and was
born in 1889. 1t has been enormously supposed
that he was only Mehemet Ais adopted son. lie
is justly celebrated for his victories in Syria, which
he revoutionzed, and has governed for some years.
lie is very active, shrewd, and great discipline
rian, and he was the first Egyptian who taught the
soldiers the European system of drill. lie is hu-
name and ailabe, and is adored by his troops, over
whom he exercises a fascination equal to that of
Napoleon. Both Ibrahim and his father are men
of small stature, but both are Injured to fatigues,
which they share with the common soldier. lbra-

SKETCH OF MEHEMENT ALI AND
HIS son.

Vehement Ali was born in 1863, at Cavae in
Romea. lie was adopted by the Governor of
Cayalle, and rose rapidly in his service. lie after
wards entered the tobacco trade, and realized
considerable fortune; but the invasion of Egypt by
the French terminated his commercial prospects,
and he entered the army. While there, he was
continually studying the tactics and ideas Of Ma
poeoD, which he has since put in practice. lie
assassinaied with his own hand rebel AIameluke
chief, in a conference, and gained great name for
boldness and dexterity. His enemies procured for
him the pachalic Of Salon,ca, to get him out Of the
way; but he persuaded the principal Egyptian
chiefs TO request the Sultan 10 appoint him Gov
ernor of Egypt Aiicr some alterations with Eng
land, he received the frman from the Porte, and
engaged in war against the Mamelukes. These
he compelled to capitulatc-but finding no reliance
could be placed on their word, he mastered them
all. Though we may de,est this deed, it was abb
solutely necessary for the regeneration of Egypt.
Like the Pretorlans and the Janisares, the Name
lukes had become the masters of the country, and
resisted all control, or the siighes, innovation on
their ancient rights and prejudces. Vehement is
certainly wonderful man. lie did not learn to
read until the age Of iorty-fve but has since turn
ed his attention very particularly TO history.-IIc
