PovERTY IN ENGLAND" One who has
been twice round the world informs the
great British public, in letter to the Lon
don Times, that, while war is raging, and
we are watching the course of events on
the Continent, thousands of English peo-
pie are fighting sterner battle" with a foe
admitting of neither compromise nor nego-
ltiation-the deadly foe Of want. He says
that thousands of anxious, starving souls
are standing on the banks of the old coun-
try, looking with longing eyes ON the album
dance of the new which they cannot reach.n

more than twenty years ago that same
Times grew gleefnl over the agony and
panic flight of the poor starving people of
Ireland. 1t saw nothing but matter for
great joy and hope in the suffering that
caused such cad depletion. Can it be mer-
~ now over the small trouble that stares
it in the face at homef In that land of
bursting purses and plethoric charities
there are thousands starving and longing
to go away, but neither the individual for
tune nor the national fund 10 drawn upon
to give them help. They and their like
may cause some trouble yet to the good,
easy men Of England. 1t is a trouble far
more likely to increase than to diminish as
Time goes on his way, but the worst that
may befall will hardly match the horror
that has been known in Ireland.

Jefferson Davis, the ex-President of the
late Confederate States of America, has ar
rived in Dublin. He comes to Ireland as a
private individual, and we have no desire

No more solemn and truthful lesson upon
the difference between the judgments of
God and man is furnished by history than
in the career of this great man. Men think

The wisdom of God sometimes withholds

form. What greater merit as citizen or

man than in Gen. Leef The history of
war shows no more brilliant generalship
than his, no more patient fortitude or

The State Of war is that which mont

from making it a grand contest between
