And then man may gain besides,

THE TARA MEETING.

Tho strength and ma esty of the national move
ment never were exhibited so imposinglv rs u, this
great meeting. Tho numbers exceeded any that
over before congregated in Ireland in peace or
war. The enthusiasm was equally without pre-
cedent.
And it was .emphatically meeting eff MEN.
There were moro men present than possessed Scot
land when WILLIAM WALLACE raised tho stand
ard Of independence; or Athens in the days of her
world-rcnown. Tho British army at home and
abroad, or The Armies with which NAPOLEON trod
Europe under foot, did not muster many grown
men as gathered round O'CoNNELL on that day,
1t was sight, not grand nono, but appalling
not exciting merely pride, but fear. Such an ar
my-for thoy had the steadness and order Of
trained tnen-no free state would willingly see
on its bosom if it were not composed of its choc-
est citizens. They unquestonably hold its liber-
ties in their hnnds-;heir will is irresistible; and
any man having shadow of doubt Of their mod
Grafton and virtue, must, of necessity desire to
see tho awful power they possess quickly trans
ferred TO the calmer keeping Of a domestic legs.
lature, to Wing or Tory, this is now tho lesser of
two evils--the choice is between the Senate ami
the Pretoran Guards.
The history of Tara Is proud and old, but it
never saw so proud u sight as this meeting. No
council of Princess and feudal chiefs could have
equalled in simple majesty this assembly Of an ed
ucated, Intelligent, unarmed PEOPLE. 1t Was not
as of old, nation represented by its dynasts that
the old hill rejoiced to hear-but the nation itself,
in its own thews and snews, and virtue, and in
tellect. 1t was free Parliament of tho People
without de!egation-a grander spectacle, and one
dearer to liberty, than our forefathers ever bohed

cursor Of ireland's independence-the RepeaIers

Our Western Erontier.--Tho picture drawn
by the Arkansas lntegencer of the state of affairs
on the western frontier, is unpleasant one to
contemplate. 1t is just such state Of things.
however, as might have been expected from the
present organization, or rather disorganisation Of
the army. When the veteran Mai. Gen. CANES
had command of the western Division en-
braching the entire frontier VIC did not hear these
complaints. He was then responsible for its safe
~, and had authority adequate to its protection.
1t pleased Gen. SCOTT, however, aided by his part
ner in schernng iEiquity. JNo. c. SPENCER, to
abolish this "Divison," and unlawfully to reduce
Gen. Gaines to a Brig. Generals command, Civ
ing him tho command Of department instead Of
ajor Generals Dirision. There being no
general military head on the frontier, with whom
is lodged the authority and the responsibility of
overlooking the whole, Of course things have como
10 such pass as to be complained Of, and justly.
Our brother of tho inielieoncer calls loudly for
the two regiments at jefferson Barracks. If he
will call for the restoration of Gen. Gaines 10 his
legitimate command of the "Vestern Dirision,"
will strike nearer at the roo. Of the evil.-Msr,-

six inches wide, leaving about four
inches projecting outward, The other Two
inches beng firmly masoned in the

rooler when he is completing his work
will carry the sheets of the roof 20 the

which he will then bend down over he

roofing is composed, or the chimney

by cutting out the pointing aud plaster

TO believe that they are heartily asham

is scarcely possible, that we shall ever
have TO write political coffee article
agan.
The bitter beverage, go we'll liked By
ourselves and all whom we know, pnd
so generally used in every civilized
country, was first introduced INTO
France, so says an old work BY an am
bassador from the Porte, in 1869. 1t is
stated that this Ambassador was a man
OF exceeding pollleness, wit. and gal
lanlry; and that Notwithstanding he
had so many wives at home, he was
great (avorile with the Lending fashion,
able women Of Paris. When visited by
them, he gave them coffee to drink, and
for poIieness sake, the black md bitter
beverage was drank, when taste was
acquired for il among the lady nobility
of Paris, which soon extended 10 all
classes 1t was in 1878 that Coffee
Houses were established in Paris All

victory over vicious practice, and to
very great extent save the French po
pnalion from that degradation to which
they were last hurrying. Well may
they thank The nun Of many wiUeS for
introducing Coffee to their notice,
Since that time the use Of Coffee has
spread ali over the land. The English
soon become consumers Of it, and ii is
