Meagher and the Press.

1t is pleasant to know, notwithstanding o
portion of the press of this country has most
shamefully villifed Meagher, the young
Irish orator and patriot, that he is receiving
the good wishes, kind words and hearty at
tentions of the public, wherever he goes. 1t
is we'll that there is limit to malignity,
prejudice, jelousy, and revenge; and that
good men and pure patriotism are more
powerful than bad men, bad presses, and
sour hearts
Some days since, society in Charleston,
South Carolina, presented him with an ad-
dress, in which they uttered their senti-
ments very freely-and very nobly They
state that they have closely watched the
spirit Of intolerance which has been mani
tested towards him by o portion of the press
in this country, and congratulate him on
having triumphed over their malicious and
narrow minded prejudiccs, as such petty
doctrines must eventually give way to the
more liberal and democratic views which
are making such gigantic strides on both
continents"
IN speech delivered by Mr.. Meagher, at
dinner given by his countrymen in Charles
ton, he said she had declared his intention
OF becoming q citizen of this happy country
He acknowledged now no other government
than that of the United States of America,
whatever Efforts in behalf of his native land
he might deem it incumbent on him to make
hereafter, they should be made as become a
citizen Of the United States His conduct
should be governed strictly and rigidly by
the obligations he had assumed to obey the
Constitution and Laws of the country he
adopted as his own"

ENGLISH ARMY BND NAvY.-The whole
English Army proper amounts to 10000
men. Of these 10000 are in India, neces-
sarily employed, 10000 in Malta, the Ieni-
an Isles, Canada and other colonies; the re-
naming $4,000 are at home, but much
scattered in various fortresses of England,
Ireland and Scotland. The British artil-
iery amounts to about 10000 men only;
and 120 guns we'll horsed and mounted In
addition to the regular army peace estab-
lishment, as it is called, or militia system,
has lately gone into operation. 10000 men
were, in conformity with this system, armed
and disciplined twenty one days last year.
adding these troops, if such they may be
called, the whole home effective force of
Great Britain at the present time, is $4,000
men. According to the militia system, So,
600 more of disciplined troops will be add
ed the coming year. The naval force of
Great Britain amounts to 1000 men and

MARSHAL HAYNAU.-The decease of the
famous Julius Barons Won Havuau. which
Is reported to have occurred at Vienna. on
the I4th instant, cannot fail to revive the
recollections of his infamy while living. He
was born at Cassei in 1886, and was natu-
raj SON of the Duke of Hesse by gold
smiths daughter. In early life, he was so
notorious for his eccentricities as to be con-
sidered On the verge of insanity. He was
educated at Cassel, and entered the Austrian
army as Lieutenant in 1901. In the cam
paigh of 1905 he distinguished himself so
much as to be promoted to the rank of cap
tain In one Of the most notable regiments in
the service. In l81 he was elevated over
his seniors to the rank of Major, and ac-
CURED new laurels in the campaigns of Italy

and reckless bravery. Little was heard of

made commander n-chief of the Austrian
army in Hungary and Pennsylvania. Hc it
was who led the Austrian army in that SAN
culinary conflict which terminated in the
utter defeat of the Hungarian cause. Geor-
gel surrendered, and the disgraceful cruel
ties with which Haynau treated the captive
Hungarians, both women and men, are
fresh in every mind. Since his disgrace at
the Court of Vienna in 1850, he has spent
his time in travelling over Europe. His
visit to London. and the manner in which
he was mobbed by the brewers of Barclay
4 Perkins establishment need not be re-
peated. OF late he has resided on bis es-
tate in Damatia. He died at Vienna. be-
meath the shadow of that despotic Court
which he served SO faithfully in so mean a
cause. Since his removal from the command
in Hungary, he has been a despised and
unhappy man, and he must have anticipat.
ed death as a happy release from the re-
proaches of his own conscience, and the
scorn of the human race.

DEsPIsING HOUSEHOLD DUTIEs-From q
variety Of causes, nothing is more common
than to find American women who have not
the slightest idea Of household duties A
writer thus alludes to this subject:
''In this neglect of household cares Amer
lean females stand alone A German lady,
no matter how lofty her rank, never forgets
that domestic labors conduce to the health
of body and mind alike. An English lady.
whether she is only gentlcmans wife or a
dukes, does not despise the household, and
even though she has housekeeper, devotes
portion of her time to this, her true, her
happiest sphere. 1t is reserved for our re-
publican fine ladies to be more choice than
even their monarchal and aristocratic sis
tiers. The result is lassitude of mind
often as fatal to health as the neglect of
bodily exercise. The wife who leaves her
household cares to servants, pays the penal
ty which has been affixed to idleness, since
the foundation of the world, and either willis
away from ennui, or is driven into all sorts
of fashionable follies to find employment
for her mind"

SHocK1NG.-The New York papers con-
tain the particulars of most shocking
murder, committed there on Monday night
by man named Neary on the person of
his wife. This murder is in some respects
similar to the late tragedy at Philadelphia.
Neary, it appears, while in his sober senses,
deliberately beat his wife about the head
with stone cutters mallet and chisel until
her skull was crushed in several places,
and she was rendered senseless, in which
state she remained until she died. The
murder was committed in the presence of
her three children, the eldest of which, q
boy Is years of age, testified against his
father in firm, straight forward manner.

SHAKsPEARE's FLUENcY.-"All that we
know of Shakespeare is, that he was born at
Stratford- ouAvon married and had chill
dren there; went to London, where he COM
menced acting, and wrote plays and poems
returned TO Stratford, made his will, died
and was buried" 1t is our own fault, and
not the fault Of the materials, if we do not
know great deal more about Shakespeare
than that; if we do not realize, for exam
pie, those distinct and indubitable facts
about him-his special reputation among
the critics of his time, as q man of not so
much of the erudition as of prodigious nat
ural genius; his gentleness aud openness of
disposition; his popular and social habits;
his extreme ease, and, as some thought,
negligence in composition; and above all,
and most characteristic of all, his excessive
fluency in speech. "He sometimes required
stopping" is Ben Johnson's expression
and whoever does not see whole volume Of
revelation respecting Shaksheare in that
single trait, has NO eye for seeing anything.
