CONDITION OF THE IRISH PEOPLE.
According to accounts the relaxation
of the rigid policy of England to-
ward Ireland has brought neither
relief aor hope to the people of that
country. a letter from the County
Kerry, which has b.en freer from
agrarian outrages than any section of
the country, and where the people are
industrious as we'll as peacoable, saws
that their condition is deplorable.
They look like those who have lost
all hope; look upon themselves as
doomed to a life of sorrow and mis-
cry. The only thing that cheers them
is the feeling, true or false, that
America viii have Ireland before
long. Tenant right and religious
equality have lost all value to them.
They do not believe it in the power
Of the British Parliament to do them
any good; to America the young look
forward with eager eyes and hearts
the old live upon the happy time that
is to come, and drudge aud toll to the
music of faded memories and broken
hopes.

Now that General Geo. II. Thomas
has given US the truth as to Alaska,
that it is worthless commercially,
minerallY, agriculturally, pastorally
and IN general, let our Government
act upon it by reducing its establish
ment to minimum, and not continue
throwing money after that which was
sunk in the purchase, for the sake of
keeping up the prctense that we got a
bargain. And when@we say minimum,
We mean a single company of soldiers
at most, merely to keep up formal
possession, and no civil establishment
at all no navy station, no Governor,
nor Secretary, nor Council; 10 Gus

Everybody knows that any such off

truth, and not allow the multitude Of

number of murderous outrages are
reported by the Florida papers as
having taken place lately in Jackson

Rogers, an overbearing person, was
present and claimed to have been shot
at. He then called for Wyatt Sour
lock, one of his friends, who, on his
approach to Rogers, caught up child,
and he and the child were killed by
one shot from some unknown person.
Rogers, with the party, returned to
Mariana, and with party of whites
and blacks went in search of the muir

perpetrator of the deed.

DOMESTIC LIFE OF NAPOLE0N.-
The Emperor NAPoLEoN's apartments
at st. Cloud are said to be most sim
pie, and comprise a bed room, a dress
ing room and cabinet. He writes
on fat mahogany table, and sits
usually in large, low legged. leather
arm chair, nearly all the other seats
in the very unpEetendiDg studio being
chairs caned in Panama straw. But
for the souvenirs Of NAPOLEON l. and
HoRTENsE. nobody would suspect this
to be the Emperor's cabinet. Pictures
Of the Empress and Prince Imperial
are placed on two small easels on the
writing table, and on each side Of the
chimney piece two photographs of the
same. OF the royal family we are
told by a correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph:
No people can be more united
than the three chief initiates of the
Palace de st. Cloud; and, when poll
| tics and etiquette can be laid aside,
no happier father, mother and son can
anywhere exist. The Empress and
Prince enter the Emperor's room as
soon as Felix, the first valet de cham
bre has let them know that his master
is up-Which, just now, is generally

for the Gay, Including the bill of
fare for the breakfast and dinner;
but at all times the dishes are of the
simplest description, chiefly roast
meats; and whatever they arc, NDpo-
leon III is always content, The
repasts are served exactly at the hour
appointed, whether their Majesties

Malherbo has apologized for a burnt
or cold dish, but the Emperor good
temperedly ezclaims, Never mind it

is invited, and If an invitation is de-
clined he alters his arrangements in
