An Irish Mother-A Maternal Example
Worthy of Imitation.

The Lynn Mass. Reporter" tells
the story of an Irish woman, who has
been a mother indeed to her fatherless
children. Her name is McCarty. Her
husband was lost in fishing vessel from
Gloucester, and she was left with four
children, the eldest of whom was only
eight years Finding that she could not
bring up her children respectfully in
Massachusetts, on her slender earnings,
she sold her furniture and put her chill
dren at Catholic school in Brooklyn,
agreeing to pay a certain stipend for
their board and instruction, secured a
passage round Cape Horn to California
by working as stcwardcss, arriving
safely, went to work there to earn money
and from thence went to Nevada Terri
tory Every thing that she could save
from her earnings was sent home for her
fatherless children, to the care of wo-
man who had charge of them. This con-
tinued until Mrs. MeCarty became APP
prised Of the unfaithfulness of this wo
man, when she Immediately borrowed
money enough to bring her to Massachu-
setts = having just previously sent all
she had to the dishonest woman = and
started to fnd her children, They were
scattered around; three of them in fami-
lies; one of them had died without her
being apprised Of it, and one of them was
where he was i'll used. She has gathered
them together and has started back with
them to California, determined hereafter
not only to work for them, but to have
thom where she can look altar them

Arrest of an Alleged Swindler.

For some time past Buffalo, in common
with other cities throughout the Union
has been flooded with the circulars OF
Clark, Webster & Co., reputed proprie-
tors of the swindling gift enterprise con-
cern having headquarters in this city,
and known as tie Merchants and
Bankers Gift Enterprise" Among
those who have been swindled in Buffalo
were many crippled soldiers and sailors,
and the authorities of that city sent on
Detective Cusick to obtain the necessary
information to warrant them in obtaining
an indictment of the swindlers by the
Grand Jury of Erie County. Aided by
Detectives Coyle and Elder, the case was
worked up by the officer, and resulted in
the discovery that one A. A. Kelley, pro-
prietor of KelLey's Weekly, an illustrated
paper, was at the head Of the concern,
the headquarters being located at No.
697 Broadway. The detective returned
to Buffalo, reported what he had learned,
and, the necessary indictment having
been procured, he yesterday returned to
this city, and Kelley, having been arrest
ed at the Metropolitan Hotel, was last
evening taken to Buffalo by the officer
The evidence against him is said to be
very strong, and sufficient to warrant his
conviction. = Tribune, Nay IA.

Some Facts About the Dome of our Ma

The dome of the Capitol at Washing
ton is the most ambitious structure in
America. 1t is hundred and eight
feet higher than the Washington monu-
mept at Baltimore, sixty eight feet higher
than that of Bunker Hill, and twenty
three feet higher than the Trinity Church
tower, New York. 1t is the only consid-
cradle dome of iron in the world 1t is
vast hollow sphere of iron, weighing
S,009, 200 pounds. How much is that? !?
More than four thousand tons, or about
the weight of seventy thousand full-grown
people; or about equal to thousand
laden coal cars, which, holding four tons
apiece, would reach two miles and half

upon its piers and pillars is 13, All pounds

require to crush the supports of our dome
a pressure of 155 $50 pounds to the square

This Protestant Cow.

Paddy Murphy and his wife Bridget,
after many years of ditching and wash
ing, had accumulated suficiency to pur-
chase a cow (of course they had pigs),
which they did at the Grst opportunity.
AS it was brought of q Protestant neigh
Dor, Pat stopped on his way home, at the
house of the priest, to procure bottle of
holy water with which to exercise the
false faith out of her.
"Isn't she foine creature ?" asked
Pat of the admiring Bridget. "Jest hold
her till l fix the she'd"
To save the precious fluid from harm,
he took it into the house and set it up in
crop board until he had ''fxed" things.
Then he returned and brought the bottle
back again, and while Bridget was hold
ing the rope, proceeded to pour it upon
her back
But poor Pat had made a slight mis-
take. Standing within the same closet
was bottle of aquatortis, that had been
procured for far different purpose, and,
as it dropped upon the back of the poor
COW, and the hair began to smoke and
the flesh to burn, she exhibited decided
appearance of restlessness
"Pour on more, Paddy" shouted
Bridget, as she tugged stoutly at the
rope.
"Pll give her enough, now," quoth
Pat, and he emptied the bottle.
Up went the heels of the COW, down
went her head, over went Bridget and
half dozen of the "childers," and away
dashed the infuriated bovine down the
street, to the terror of all mothers and the
delight of dogs.
Poor Pat stood for moment, breath
less with astonishmont, and then, clapp-
ing his hands upon his hips, looked sor-
rowfully after the retreating COW, and ex-
claimed:

Protestant strong in her-the baste ~

Pearls.

The finest pearls are found near Cey-
lon, in the shell Of large species of oys-
ter. Pearls should be pure white, regu-
lar in shope, aud slightly transparent
These who are possessors of fine pearls
should bear in mind that they are liable
to be discolored by contact with acids and
gas aud noxious vapors of all kinds
This is the reason why gas is never seen
in the halls of the English aristocracy,
neither tho ladies' beauty nor their pearls
being able to bear it. -

A Huge Tape Worm-Twenty-0ne Feet
Seven Inches Long-How it was Cap
tured.

JureQ.
A tape worm measured at the drug
store of DR.. W. NJ. Wilcox, in New AL
bany, Ind, proved to be twenty one feet
seven inches in length. This worm was
taken from young lady, a niece of Mr..
David Lewis, who lives four miles from
New Albany. This young lady, who is
18 years of age, has been suffering from
the effects of this worm all her life. She
is small in stature, and her emaciated
form is sight to behold, yet she lived
with this monster constantly gnawing at
her vitals
a few years ago this young lady was
put under the treatment of celebrated
physician of St Louis, but all his efforts
to remove the worm except few links,
were unavailing. Other medical skill
had been tried before and since that time,
but every effort to dislodge the enemyprov-
ed abortivc until last evening. DR.. w.
NJ. Wilcox, however, "snaked" it.

ut Boise City insinuates that the Democracy Of
Idaho censure him for "hastening back TO his
post instead Of canvassing the Territory for Sha.
fer" and by nsinuation approves Holbrook's
action in Fastening back. If Mr.. Holbrook
did right in "hastening back" he certainly did
wrong in leaving his place in Congress during
the session TO come on here for no other pur
pose than TO try and secure his own renomina-
ton aud reelection. So did he act wrong, in
openly proclaiming. in the Democratic Con.
ycntiou, after he became aware that he could
not be nominated his intention to 'remain and
canvass the Territory IN support OF the Demo
CRITIC nominee no matter whom he should be"
And be did doubly. grossly wrong, after having
made this voluntary promise, not only IN hur-
ryine back to Washington in few days there
after. but more, in cndeavoring to lay plans,
prior 20 his departure, which should conspire
10 result in the defeat vi Judge Shafcr, the
regular Democratic candidate for Delegate to

Holbrook did. aud the proof has been made
notoriously apparent by the record of the cleo
ton, which shows Mr.. Holbrook's peculiar adj
mirers and political supporters almost to
man, opposed the election Of Shaier aud the

championship of Mr.. Delegate llolbrook' the
