The EFFICACY AND SIGNIFIoANcE OF ST.
LEScE.--One thing is noticeable in GaribaIdi.
lie makes no speeches, INDUCES in no
proclamations, and has kept clear of all
gaudy rhetoricl How different from
Mazziri and Kossuth, and the generality of
agitators-men whose patriotism evaporates
in words.
The mouth is the great safety-valve for Sc
dition and rebellion. Ireland would have
been reyolutionized long since, but for the
fatal gift of eloquence in her sons. The pent-
up steam of disaffection, instead of being
suffered to accumulate in volume sufficient
to Tend and upheave the political fabric, was
suffered to blow off in noisy vaporings. So
It has been to Italy, so in Germany, so
through all Europe. Lamartine and the
orators were the escape-pipes through which
the fires of the French revolution of lS4s.
ready to deluge, with Vesuvius eruptions, ali
Europe, found a harmless vent.
We do not underrate the danger of dis
union TO these States. But while the yawn-
ing NAV Of 1Yaneey is open, and the rhetoric
OF Rhett blows off, there will be no need to
fear. 1t was dumb Cromwell, and the silent
William, that created the two revolutions in
England. The talking Bonaparte, Lucien,
was nobody; Washington was no speech
maker; and now comes Garibaldi, who never
made a speech, to complete the list of effect
i've revolutionists.

A MAN KILLED WHILE INITIATING BLoNpIS.
A man, named Robert Winchell, SAYS the
New York Sun, residing in Shokan, Ulster
County, met with fatal accident, few days
since, while trying to initiate Blondin, "A
travelling company had arrived at Shokan,
and part of the performance was an outdoor
tight-rOpe exhibition by Mademoiselle Car
hsta. Arope had been stretched from high
pole to the top of a tannery, and the lady
had accomplished her part, when WincheiI
proposed to go over the rope.n new style,
and ascending the pole, started to cross by
seizing the rope with his hands, allowing his
body to hang downwards. He actually ac-
complished the feat to the opposite side, but
pletely exhausted, he let go his hold, and fell
with great force to the ground, distance of
thirty feet. His right arm and several of his
ribs were broken, besides other internal in
Juries. He fingered three or four DAYS, and
expired. He was married man, about thirty
years of age. l1,'

A YExED QUESTION SETTLED- The Size
and Shape Of Byron's Feet Mrs. Col. Wild
man, of Newstead, has presented number
of articles, formerly the property of Lord
Byron, to the museum Of the Nottingham
Naturalists' Society. Among these were the
lasts upon which His Lordship's boots and
shoes were made. The lasts are about nine
inches in length, narrow, high at the instep.
and generally of symmetrical shape. They
were accompanied by the following affirma-
ton from William Swift, shoemaker, South
well, who made His Lordship's boots and
shoes from 1903 to 1907: William Swift
says that His Lordship had not a club-foot,
as is generally stated, but that it was formed
the same as the other, except being exactly
an inch and a half shorter. The malforma-
tion was in the ancle, which was very weak;
consequently, the foot turned" outward. To
remedy this, His Lordship wore very thin
boot, tightly laced, under his stocking. In
his early life, he wore an iron, with Joint
at the ancle, which passed down the outside
OF the leg, and was fastened to the sole of
the shoe"

The PRINCE OF WALES A NAUGHTY Boy
A correspondent of the Leavenworth (K
'T) Times, writes from Niagara that the
Prince of Wales would not obey the Duke
of Newcastle: =.
noticed the Prince at the ball, and the
way he went in surprised every one., He
danced every set from about twelve O'Clock
until near morning. Rumor has it that the
old Duke put his. Royal Highness in his
room, and then retired. When the old fel.
low had got fairly snoring the Prince came
out and bade his attendants go some where
else, while he slipped into the ballroom and
went in" with a right good will. He is a
good dancer, and has every appearance of a
gentleman. If "turned loose he would be
inclined to be "fast boy" -

A Mormon Mt Large in New YOrk-A Ben.
ediek Marries n School Mistress and
Steals from Her Father.
The town of Canton, New York, is con.
siderably rufiied just now by a domestic
calamity" Of no ordinary sort. A dashing
young gentleman named Daniels recently
turned up" and proceeded to make himself
promlscuously agreeable in society, on the
ground of having been born and brought up
in Canton. He dressed we'll talked largely.
and finally met pretty young lady teaching
school in town with whom he strai0htwoV v
fell in love. Daniels explained to her that
he was surveyor in the employ of the Great
Western Railway Company, and exhibited
letters from the citizens of Canton, recon-
, mending him as a man of property and
means. Satisfied with the proof the pretty
school-mistress consented to become Mrs.
Daniels-her suitor stipulating that they
shonld be married on Saturday, as he would
be obliged to go West on Monday morning.
They were united at the appointed time.
After the ceremony, the friends proceeded
to make merry and their revels had already
encroached on the Sabbath, when sthe Can
ton llvery-stable man entered in hot haste.
and demanded the horse and vehicle he had
hired to Daniels, as it had been discovered
that Daniels had not only two wives living.
but had been in State Prison several timesi
Then came grand scene; the bride swooned,
the friends turned pale, and the bridegroom
started for Canton Immediately, accom-
panied by the brides father. Daniels swore
he was innocent, and wanted to confront his
accusers; but no sooner had he arrived in
Canton than he stole his father-in-law's
buggy and fled TO some place not yet discov-
cred. 1t did not take long to prove that the
fellow was downright Mormon, as well as
an unmitigated rascal.

Serious Accident ON the Pennsylvania
Central Railway - One Person Fatally
Hurt and Thirty-three Wounded.
A brief announcement of the accident on
the Pennsylvania Central Railway, on Fri
day afternoon, has been teiegraphed to the
PREss, and Saturdays Pittsburg Post gives
these particulars:
The mail train on the Pennsylvania Rail-
load, due here at 1890, but which was some
two hours behind time, reached n point
about seventeen miles from the city. at the
second curve beyond Stewart 5 station, and
about one mile cast of it. the engineer saw a
number of cattle on the track. The train
consisted OF locomotive, tender, two express,
baggage, and five passenger cars. All the
cattle left the track but one. which was
caught by the locomotive, dragged for some
distance, and then rolled off. As the train
passed on, the steer again rolled upon the
track, under the baggage car, which II threw
OIL, and also three passenger cars, leaving
two on the road.
At the point mentioned there is an en-
bsnkment of eighteen to twenty feet. Two
OF the passenger-cars turned over upon their
sides, as also the baggage-car, and remained
IN t1at position. The other passenger-car
rolled over upon the top, which separated,
leaving the passengers in it, and the body OF
the car went to the bottom.
The passengers were extricated as soon as
possible, those in the two cars on their sides
being taken out through the windows, with
only tritiing bruises. Some of the passen-
gers in the other car were more or less hurt
One of the brakesmen on the train
Thomas Stevens, OF this city, who was stand
ing upon the platform, was so badly crushed
that his recovery is a matter of doubt.

conclude that in youth she had reputation
for brilliancy. No man would offer himself
to young lady who would call him an owl

marry woman when the possibilities and
probabilities were, that she would place
boots with hot mush in the morning. by way
ofa joke. If ever you have lady ac-

KfTE-FLYNG AMONG THE CHINEsE.-A cor
respondent writes from China: "The Chinese
do not consider any pursuit SO frivolous as to
be denied the best advantage of science, not
even the flying of paper kites. 1t is strange
to see sober sedate merchants tugging away
at long string guiding kite very effect
ually in the air. Some are made sin the
shape of birds, and the lowering of the kes-
tral or the quick dive of the sparrow-hawk
of the string. The first saw was at Shanp-
hal, and it appeared so real that got down
rifle and tried TO shoot, but was told it was
only kite "To be sure it is; why not have
shot at it ?" and it was some time till un-
derstood it was paper not bird kite. The
Chinese beat US all hollow in these things,
especially in the messengers" they send
spinning up the string. They send up pret-
tily-painted gigantic butterflies with out
spread wings, at the back of which is a SIM
pie contrivance to make them collapse when
the butterfly reaches the kite and as soon as
they collapse down comes the butterfly
sliding along the string, ready to be adjusted
for another flight. - -

MODE OF RIDDIEG A PLACE OF RATS
Take box, say two feet long, one foot deep,
and one foot wide, or less. Fix a lid On
witha couple of leather hinges. Put into it
some good bait; a little aniseed sprinkied in
is all the better. Prop the lid up with a
stick six inches long, to which fasten string
OF considerable length, the end of which
place in the hand Of some dirty-faced little
urchin, that you want to PUT to some practi-
cal use, and set him to watching the box
around a corner. Pay him about three cents
head for rats-this is an important part
of the contrivance-and whenever he sees
few Of them jump into the box he will Jerk
the string, and the rats are prisoners. Some
times half dozen may be taken at a haul.
A day or two of such work will clear ordi-
nary premises Of the "varmfnts," unless they
find too much to eat elsewhere than in the
box. By that time, Jack will have acquired
such taste for rat-catching that he will
probably set up as t-catcher-generalfo for the
neighborhood.

PRoeREss AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE En-
GLIsH RACE.-The old English blood, says
the Once-d- Week, has not stagnated in our
veins: The population of the country is
rapidly increasing despite of the enormous
drain of emigration--nor has the race de-
generated in any respect. Most of the suits
of armor in the Tower would be found too
small for the stout limbs of the young Cum
berland recruits who join the ranks of our
household troops. The duration of life has
increased. 1t is a mistake to suppose that
the increase Of luxury has sapped the vigor
of the English people. We have still prac-
tical monopoly of the coal and iron OF the
world, and increased skill in using them.
Better still, we have absolute freedom and
thought. f'H.t ENt t- aUI

| Painful Tragedy and Melancholy Execu.
tion In Irelnnd-An Unfortunate Love
Affair Ending in n Double Death,
letter from Dublin, dated September !
says melancholy execution took place in
Armagh, on Monday. The circumstances
are these:
John Holden was native of Kilkenny. bo
entered the mounted constabulary there nj
the age of twenty. He had received from
nature strong and well-made body with
rather handsome features. His mental abili-
ties were not inconsiderable, and he had re
ceiVed a suitable education. After several
years of service in his native place, he was
transferred to Dungannon, where his pleas
ing manners, activity, and good humor.
made him a favorite in the force, as well as
with the people of the town and neighbour
hood.
In Dungannon he formed an intimacy with
a young lady, of nearly his own age and of
character similar to his own, a Miss McKer-
nan, who kept school. They loved. not
wisely, but too well. The regulations of the
constabulary allow of marriage only to n
certain number, and on permission asked
and given. He asked, but the permission
could not be given for q considerable time.
10 postpone his marriage till that time
would be to lay q stigma on the woman he
loved and the offspring of their union. He
noped to have the marriage kept a secret
from the heads of the constabulary, and thew
were privately married accordingly.
But Holden had a comrade a man named
McClelland. He informed the superntend-
ent Mathews, who told the authorities, and
Holden was degraded, at the moment when
his character and services would have en-
titled him to promotion, and when the new
relation he had formed made promotion de-
sirable.
Holden was stung to madness. He could
not bear to see the man elevated over his
mead who had been the instrument of his
olsgrace-a disgrace in which the woman he
loved was to share. He tried all means of
getting. the sentence of his disgrace reversed.
One only chance, he was told, remained--to
go with McClelland to the Protestant clerpv-
man and get him to intercede with fhe
authorities. On their way up the avenue to
his house he shot Mcclellan dead.
Holden was found guilty, but recon-
mended to mercy. Great efforts were made
to get that recommendation acceded to. ePe-
ttions TO the Lord Lieutenant were for
warded, signed numerously by persons of
supposed influence. The wife, with her
child, knelt at the feet of His Excellenov.
and prayed for mercy in accents tifiit melted
the humane viceroy into tears But in vain.
THE law must take its course and it has
taken it, with more and deeper regret than
has been felt on any similar occasion in mod
ern times.
