HOME RULE" IN acknowledgements of
lrishmen in America are organized into societies
for the purpose of freeing Ireland, thus showing
that their sympathy with the motherand is
pure and undylng. And yet how few of the mill
lions of the Irish in America are aware of the
nature Of the present great political movement
of the Irish al home! bow many Irishmen here
out of every hundred are aware of the nature
aud aim of the home rule mOvement-a greater
effort for political equality than any that Ire
land has yet seen, not even excepting the agita-
ton of Daniel OC0nnel? Do the Irish in
America know that, beginning with the lord
mayor and corporation of Dublin, almost every
mayor and corporation, and other borough cor
poratlons, harbOr commissions poor law boards,
&C., have given their adherence TO this grand
and practical effort? And why do they
not know this? Why do not the Irish
American newspapers tell the people what is 90
ing on at home? For some reason that we
know not, the majority of the Irish Journals in
America nave been as silent on the home rule
question: as II they looked upon it as rival

| we nave seen only one editorial that we remem
Der on The question, and that was yirulent and
hyperDOllc attack on its aims, its able leaders
and its followers. We do not want to see the
| essentially lrish-American political schemes
abandoned, and every one give their adhesion
TO nome rule; the |. r. b. and Fenan brother
| hood have done more for Ireland for the mast
hVe years than the home rule has yet done. But
it cannot be denied that the latter movement
although aiming at less than the former
has within itself all the elements that give if

movement has within its ranks an overwhelm.

Why, in the name of wonder, is it that the
Irish in America, who profess TO have such in
tense sympathy with lreland's politics, are so
quiet or so ignorant Of this great but quiet
movement? Surely the people in Ireland have
greater rights to decide what sort of government
ireland wants than the Irish peopl. in America.
Those who have left the motherland NAV love
her as well as those who have remained: but
the people there have more right TO choose their

ing bring disgrace upon the Irish name. The
unthinking, "swayed by the clap-trap of certain
selfish, drunken demagogues," did this, while
the more thoughtful and respectable did moth
ing. Next year, the Pilot thinks, they should
petition temporarily, and state the case as they
see and feel it, Should their petition be re-
fused, they will, at least, have the satisfaction
of feeling that they have acted like prudent cti-
zens. The Protestant Leagues" started by the
Orange excitement are referred to, and very
temperate speech and action are recommended.
Violent action can do no good, while it is sure
to do much evil.
The Pilot believes the Irish people lack good
leading" Is it quite sure that they do not, to
large extent, allow themselves to be 'led" too
much? II its advice to "thnk 1t out" for them
selves is to be followed, they must refuse to be
led by the thinking or the passions of Others.
Certainly, it is each mans duty to "think it
out" for himself; but this requires the assump-
ton of self respect and personal independence.
Reason and self control emancipatc us from
leaders, and make us deliberate, self respecting
men. This is the only good leading" that
should be recommended or allowed.

The idea Of turning the sewerage of cities to
account for agricultural purposes is attracting a
constantly increasing attention, and expert
ments in this direction are watched with much
interest. Especially has the matter received at
tention, recently in and near the large cities of
Great Britain. Several cities are making ar
rangements for experiments on a large scale,
and Birmingham, with 100000 inhabitants, has
secured large area of land for the purpose.
The tests made in the vicinity of London have
met with good degree of success. AT Lodge
farm, where a considerable surface of land has
been given up to the experiments, and where
efficient means have been adopted, the success
has been most gratifying; the expense has been
comparatively slight and the crops promise i'm
mense yields. This matter must continue to be
one of increasing interest to Worcester and the
adjacent towns

ride even the highest hills is proved not merely
by the general ice-worn surface of the landscape,
but by the occurrence of characteristic stri9 on
the SUBMITS of the Pentland hills, one thou
sand six hundred feet above the sea; that it
came from the Highlands is indicated by the
pebbles of granite, gneiss, schist, and quartz
rock occurring in the older boulder-clays which
it produced; and that, DETECTED by the mass of
the southern uplands, the ice in the valley OF
the Lothians was forced to move seaward, in

very curious literary coincidence, if it is not
something more, has been discovered by the
Newark Courier in Charles Reade's latest novel,
chapter of that book is letter from Charles
Bassett written from the insane asylum, in
which Sir Charles mentions the strange notions
OF one of his fellow patients, who imagined
himself to be attacked by secret gang, who
had a wonderful machine to operate with. The
author of the story leads his readers to infer
that they are indebted TO himself for this
strange description of Il popular phase of in
sanity. 1t appears to be in keeping with the
rest of the story, and one is amazed at the
strange freaks of Mr.. Reade's fancy. A dia-
gram of the internal machine-air-lO0m it is
called-is also given, and detailed description
of it is appended. Both the diagram and eX-
PLANTATION OF it seem to have originated with Mr..
Reade, there being not word to the contrary
either IN note or comment. 1t happens, how
ever, that book published in London over
sixty years ago by Dr. john Haslam, of Bethle-
hem hospital, contains the same diagram as
Mr. Reades book, and the same description,
with the exception of a slight, immatera alter
alton. The volume contains the story of pa
tient who was confined in that hospital, and
who, like Mr.. Reade's character imagined HIM
self under the influence of a nefarious gang,
who were employing their air.looms for his det-
riment. The progress of kting, lobster crack

is all described at length, and in exactly the

VoTING A GRoCER's HANDBILL.-A corre-
spondent relates curious story about the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams. On the day of the
presidential election in 1868, Mr.. Adams, before
going TO the polls, got ready ticket which he
intended TO vote. On his way thither he was
handed a village grocer's handful, which, in ac-
cordance with his usual methodcal habits, he
folded up neatly in order to take home and
examine. He then went to the polls and de-
posted, as he supposed, his ticket No person
saw what he voted, but soon after leaving the vot-
ing room, to his chagrin he discovered that he
had cast the grocer's advertisement into the box
and held the evidence of American citizenship
his ballOt-in his hand. He decided quickly
to return to the polling place and state the facts
to the officers in charge of the balot-hox, and
did so. They examined the box aud found the
grocer's advertisement folded exactly as Mr..
Adams eXplainedit ii. They decided that il should
be removed from the box and handed to Mr..
Adams, and that he should be permitted TO cast
his vote Mr.. Adams, with the graceful dignity
so characteristic of him, thanked the officials
who had decided in his favor, and this time took
care to deposit the right paper. - Syracuse

THE COMPASS PLANT.-In the monthly report
of the agricultural department for March and
April, reference was made to the compass plant
(SHphiUm ldciRiatUnl), which it was therein
stated sis alleged to possess the remarkable ten
dency to have the plane OF its leaves directed
north and SOUTH to such degree that these
points of the compass can readily be determined
from their examination" A letter, lnclosing a
diagram ola leaf of the plant has since been re-
ceived by the department, from S. j. II. Snyder
of Monrovia, Kansas, in which the opinion is
expressed that the plant does possess the quality
attributed to it. The writer says:
Having been a resident of Kansas for sixteen
years, have had abundant opportunity to be-
come fully acquainted with the plant and its
habits, and ! am fully persuaded that the
course north or south is so infallibly indicated
by its leaves, that would not hesitate to follow
their direction for hundreds Of miles. The leaves
of the plant from which the accompanying
sketch has been made, were taken from
my orchard, which has been titled for
years, and the plants cut up and turned
over and under, and every way; yet
every time they came up, either from the
old roots, or from seed they invariably turn
their leaves in the same direction. There can
be no question of this fact, and if, in group Of
these plants, here and there a leaf varies little
from the true course, the appearance of the
stem and its relation to the other leaves show
the reason for such discrepancy. The average
of such group is intallible."
The stalk of the plant is from three to five feet
high, leaf about twelve inches long, and flower
resembling miniature Sunhower. Mr.. Snyder
says it is sometimes called polar-weed, gum
weed, resin-weed, &c. The last names are given
to it because of the resinous gum which exudes
from its stems and leaves, especially when
wounded. This gum is chewed, and the plant,
as well as its resinouS gum, Is considered high
ly medicinal,
