the cocrcivo measures Of Mr.. GLADSTONE
Against ireland hold out premium upon dis.
loyalty to the English Crown. The Irish are
the last people in the world to be brought to
terms by violence. The policy of the present

TO soften their feelings toward the sister island.

There is nothing which better illustrates
tho state Of civilization existing in any commu-

sacred rite Of marriage; and accordingly we

OF the seven young women engaged in this
wedding, i've are spoken Of 10 the report by
their nicknames-and spelled with ie at that-as
NiSsIs, Bgrirg, SALLIr, and JENNIE; aud this,
We say, indicates n childish, frivolous, and vulgar
s,ate of civilization in the chief cities of Tonnes
sec and Kentucky. People Of sense and taste
may have nickunmcs for their daughters, but
they do not put them on their visiting cards, nor
publish them in the newspapers when they are
married. There is. however, one hopeful feature
in this report. Ths gentlemen are not described
ns CHARLIE, H,RRtE, HrGufr, TouNiE, and so on.
but appear under their own proper appella-
tons. We dare say that in time the brides and
brid' maids Of those great commonwealths sill
a.1 come to be spoken Of in pub ic in similar
Iespeetahle manner.
