last family, on an average a month,
affording them at SO small cost al
most the same light afforded by gas at
several times the expense. No article
of family use is so cheap and so eonIe-
nient. Empbatically it is the friend of
the poor, and about the only friend
they hove in these days of high prices
for everything else. Its destiny must
be to work wonders in ameliorating
the condition OF society in Europe.
The Fenians are still laboring with
more or less eagerness in various parts
Of the country, and have succeeded in
collecting more or less money. In New
England, we think, the uprising in Ire
land is taken very phiIosophicalIy, but
in New Jersey, on the other hand, we
observe that over five hSndred dollars
was collected alta single meeting. Pres
ident Roberts is stirring up the BROTHER
hood at Chicago, and spoke two hours
there at a meeting on Tuesday night.
We observe that on this occasion the
following correspondence by telegraph
was read:
NEW York.

"a deputation centre. representing
Ireland, England, and Scotland, re-
quest your immediate cooperation.
Answer yes or no. Publish your ideas
Immediately. J.J. GEARY."
CHICAGO, March II.
To J. j. Gealy, Nev York.
"Your dispatch received. Do 1
understand you that the representatives,
Ofthe /. Il b. from Ireland, England and
Scotland, now in America, agreed to
unite with us for the purpose of giving
aid to the men said to be in revolution
In Ireland If 50, as President of the
Fenian brotherhood, and speaking on
behalf of that organization, while hold
ing ourselves irresponsible for the re-
suits Of what fear is a premature and
iil-prepared movement, nevertheless
we will render all the aid in our power
to our brothers in the field. Our objec-
tive point is Ireland, we labor for Ire
land, and Will strike for Ireland
w. Il. RoBERTs, President, f. B."
We couiess that these dispatches con-
tain much that is beyond our compre-
hension, and that the term "deputa-
tioA centre" conveys no more distinct
idea to US than to Mr.. Roberts. 1t ap-.
pears from this, however, that the
President considers this ga premature
and ill-prepared movement" As he
leads the branch which favored the in
vasion of Canada, perhaps this opinion
is not given altogether, without preju-
dice, although there is very little doubt
of its correctness.

THE habit which spectators in the
galleries OF Congress have fallen into
Of late years, Of applauding and other
wise manifesting their opinion OF what
is passing, has often been remarked
upon as indecent and of evil tendency.
Our English cousins, however, have n
practice which strikes us as being on
the whole rather more vicious than
this, and also more difficult for the
legislative body to control. We refer
to the assembling of the mob near
Westminster Hall in times OF any con-
siderable political interest, to greet
members as they enter the houses of
Parliament.
Thus we read that on the last occa-
sion of this sort, of which the last mail
brings us the details, Mr.. Fawcett and
LORD Russell were cheered; Lord Gros-
Venor was suffered to pass in silencesi
Mr.. Lowe had nearly run the gauntlet
without being noticed, but at the last
moment was recognized, cheered,
Missed and yelled at; Mr.. CLAD
stone decently avoided reception,
which, although favorable, would no
doubt have been distasteful to him, and
Mr.. Disraeli, driving up rapidly in a
carriage, disappointed the crowd, who
intended To give him "a good howl"
on some days, earlier in the session,
some members found il difficult to
reach the houses of Parliament in safe
ty. And it would be easy to pronuce
not a few instances in which members
of the two houses have been subjected
10 violence by the crowd which thus
takes its part in the proceedings of Par
Lament.
II there is to be demonstration Of
outside views in either way, we should
much prefer the applause and dissent
of the galleries AS it is heard at WASH
ton, which is always within the control
OF the sergeant at-arns, and never APP
proaches anything like intimidation,
however much it may set legislative
prOpriety at defiance.
