PROGRESS OF IRELAND.-In Thom'sIrish Alma.
mac there many statistical facts Indicative OF
the social revolution quietly proceeding in Ireland
The total value of live stock was in ls4I, only
2l9 9399, SAB, but in 1854 the amount had risen to
o0S37l, and this rise seems to be steadily pro-
crossing. The number of holdings of land below
nve acres has undergone what must be considered
most beneficial decrease. In 184I the number of
such holdings was 3l03 but in 1854 had fallen
to oO9I6 Between five and fifteen acres, the
number which in ls49 was 252, ,77s, was in 1854
only 49, l40. On the other hand, the larger class
Of holdings had proportionabiy increased. Be
tween fifteen and thirty acres the number which
In lo49 was Is, 336, was in 1854 1877 $40, and the
holdings above thirty acres, the class most benef
cial to country, had risen from 4s 623 in 1e49 to
lo4 loo in 1854. The revenue of Ireland shows
satisfactory increase; it reached a5, 862 BIT for
1858, against revenue Of less than four millions
and half for the thirty years previous. The COM
merce of the Irish ports is improving The ton.
mage entered inwards was l,944as5 in 1910, and
was 1851, ,7e6 in 1854. The savings bank deposits,
after great depression consequent on the years of
famine, seem now steadily increasing. In l849
they had sunk as low as 81 ,200,273 In 1853 they
were S1,566,0l0, and are now probably much
more The poor rates, which in 1e49 reached 91,
receipts are increasing pawnbroking is on the de-
cline; and by every test which can determine the
social state ofa country, ireland, after the terrible
ordeal of the years of famine, is now steadily ad.
vancing in industrial prosperity.

THE INDIANs.-We are gratiied TO learn, as
we do, from Mr.. Wiiamson's letter in to-day S
paper, that the Wahpeton and Sissitonwan
Sioux Indians have done much towards making
themselves comfortable in the way Of planting
and cultivating the soil. The conduct of Maj
Murpl y, alluded to by the writer, is worthy
the highest commentator, and we trust he
will continue to do more for those who are I'M
der his special care. The change in the time
of paying the annutles, it seems to us, is
wise measure, for from the facts set forth by
Mr.. Williamson, much sickness and death will
now be avoided that have hitherto prevailed.---
1t should be source Of pleasure to every one
to know that the Indians are beginning TO re-
alize the benefits derived from civilization They
have raised corn, potatoes, turnips and other ne
cessary articles, that have aided them in sup
porting life during the long winter months, and
we think, with proper attention, they may yet
be able to raise large supplies to sell to the
whites. Let us cheer them on. Let us ask
them to bury the tomahawk and scapng knife
Let us take them kindly by the hand, and lead
them into those paths ,rod by a more favored
and nobler race.

CONGRESS-HIGU WORDS.

SENATE.-Atter Mr.. Sumner had concluded his
speech, Mr.. Cass addressed the Senate, and char
acterized Mr.. Summers speech as the most I'M
American one to which he had ever listened.-
Messrs. Douglas and Mason followed and were
particularly severe on Mr. Sumner, accusing him
of being unfit to associate with gentlemen and
destitute of truth.
Mr.. Sumner said, he had just been attacked by
three Senators, one Of whom, Mr.. Cass, of ven
cradle years, and with whom he had been on re-
lations of personal regard longer than with any
Senator within the sound of my voice. The Sem
ator from Michigan must know full we'll, that
nothing would fall from him (Summcr) which
should possess any thing but kindness towards
him !; and he would now say to him, that his
statements regarding Michigan were founded on
legal documents, and were the principles of Jack
son, Grundy, Buchanan, Benton and the Demo-
cratic party of that day. Therefore, the attack
of Mr., Cass did not touch him (Mr. SUMNER but
the old Democrats and the Democratic party.
As for Mr.. Douglas, he should leave to him
the privilege of common scorn. The Senator
had the audacity to enter charge of audacity
against him. He had said that he (Sumner) had
taken an oath to support the Constitution, hut he
seemed determined to support a particular clause
of that instrument. This statement Mr.. Sumner
gave to his face the --LATEST denial, saying he re-
piled to similar charge in june 1884, as report
cd for the Globe from which he now read, in eff
feet, that he had sworn to support the Constitu-
ton, rs he understood it. He wished to admon-
ISL Mr.. Douglas with one word oe adyce-to
avoid expressing himself in vulgar iests, and to
endeavor to obtain virtue which is the hand maid
of wisdom; and let him also remember, that the
bowie-knife and bludgeon are not proper embems
of Senatorial debate. Staggering and buster
ing cannot add dignity to this body. The Sena-
tor from Illinois, swetcring in renown, has
brought forth statements which are literally I'M
founded, heaping on him (NIr. Sumner) PERSONAL
tiles, and obligng-[here Mr.. S. waited mo-
ment-much sensation WAS manifested on the
part of listners-he continued with much bitter
ness: "No person with the uprightness of man
shall discharge from his tongue indecent person
aities, and the noisome, nameless animal whose
nature is to discharge venom, is not a proper
model for an American Senator. VIII the Sena
tor take notice 20
Mr.. Dougas-"I shall certainly not take no.
tlce OF you IN that respect"
Here the audience laughed.
MIR. Sumner--''Ah, the Senator again witches
his tongue, and again fills the Senate with
offensive odor.''
Then turning toward Mr.. Mason, Mr.. S. con-
tinued: IL would simply say, hard words are
not arguments, nor do scowls belong to Sena-
torial dignity"
Mr.. Mason was understood to say, the Sena-
tor was non compos mentis.
Here the war of words ended. Adj.

s.TuE COMING SIcKNEss.--Thc germs of pest-
lence are Matching in the elements. Everything
points to the approach of a sckiy summer and
autumn. 1t should, therefore, be the care OF ev-
nv person to preserve the several functions OF
the body in their full tone. Disease falls first
upon those whose organism is already dsordered
through their own neglect. Guard well against
constipation and its opposite. Eat nothing midi
gestible. Avoid all green and half matured
vegetables and fruits. Pay strict attention to the
cleanliness of the surface of your bodies; and,
above all, begin the work of publication
about your yards and in your houses early, and
do it thoroughly. Cleanliness, simple diet, and
regular habits will form the strongest protection
against the coming epidemic. As no man can
tell where the arrow of death may fall first, he
is the wisest who first puts his house i'll order"
We cut the above from Hunters Medical
Journal. 1t has an especial reference 10 that
pestilence which last season almost depopula-
ted Norfolk and Portsmouth, a fearful pes,i-
lence which some OF our exchanges say again
threatens that portion Of the Union and with
stride still farther north.
We copy the article 10, with the least idea
that any such thing will visit St. Paul, but that
our city fathers will not omit such sanitary reg
ulations as common prudence should dictate to
the authorities Of any and every city containing
population equal to that of ouss.
No epidemic has ever yet prevailed here and
we hope and trust we may be ever thus favor
ed, but we can hardly expec! it, if we neglect
the means necessary for the preservation oil life
and health.
We have just emerged from an unusually
cold winter-we have had an unusually net
spring-uearly all the .fhh incident to a popu-
lation Of ten thousand persons remains in the
city. II is now excessively warm and the gut
tiers and low places necessarily send up a mi
asma which in all other places (and why not
here) carry on the breeze pestcnce and death.
Would it not be we'll to have such places cleans
ed, or at this early day in TIE season what
would be still better, let % or 80 barrels Of
lime be distributed, at public expense around
points and low p!accs.-in damp cellars and
oubudings wherevera pestiien,al atmosphere
is liable under a hot sun to be created "In
time of peace prepare for war" is safe adj
age, and equally so we say-''In time of gen.
eral health prepare for, and guard well against
disease"
Justice, prudence, and the credit of the city
demand it.

THE NEWS.
AFFAIRS In KANSAS.
ST. LOUIS, Nav 81,

ST. Louis, May 81
The Democrats Kansas correspondent, UNI
der the date Of the 10th, writes that from eight
to twelve hundred men were encamped near
Lecompton. The people Of Lawrence sent
note to Col. Sumner, asking him to station
body Of men in the vicinity of that place to
preventth the mob proceeding to sanguinary ex-
tremities. He declined, saying he had no
powerlo move without orders.
Mr.. Cox, Of Lawrence, waited on Marshal
Donaldson to ascertain if anything could be
done peaceably to prevent his monster posse
from entering town. The Marshal said their
demands must be complied with previous to
his conserving to their not entering Lawrence
with all his forces. lst, Every man against
whom process was issued should be surren-
dered. I'd, All munitions OF war in Lawrence
to be delivered up. Sd, The citizens should
pledge themselves implicitly to obey the pres
ali. Upon the receipt Of this the citizens held
public meeting, and drew up letter to the
Marshal, stating that he and every person act
ing under him would be allowed to execute any
legal process against any inhabtant of Law
renee, and if called upon they would serve as
posse in making arrests. That there would
now, nor at any future time, be any resistance
to Law, and they only awaited the opportunity
to testify their fidelity to the Union and Con-
stituion. That they claimed to be law-abidng
order loving citizens, and asked to be protected
by the constituted authorities. The purport of
OF the Marslal's answer was that he did not
believe the promises OF the people Of Law
renee. that he regarded them as rebels and
traitors, and they should know his demands
when he came.

SELLING Liquor ON THE WEST SIDE.---
Parties engaged on the West side OF the riv-
er, in dealing out spiruous liquors to the In
dams and others, should bear in mind that ii is
in violation of the United States law, which
imposes a fine of Five Hundred Dollars and
Imprisonment in tie Peni,entiary for Il term OF
years no, exceeding two. One conviction has
already been made, and appealed to the SUI
preme Court---if sustained by that tribunal,
olher, chickens of the same stripe will sc, their
feathers picked. Fill up your rum casks with
sparkling water and then the law cannot touch
you, and you will sleep much easier when the
curtain of night draws his mantle about YOU
The glbbering ghosts of your victims will soon
disappear, and where now is idleness and des-
oa,ion, will spring up beauty and fertility.
