men that ever lived and one Of the beat
friends that Ireland ever had.
Now, we must pass on: Oliver Cromwell
died in 1868. Here 10 o most singular as
sertiop of Mr.. Fronde, who tells Ms that,
much as he regrets all the blood that was
shed, and all the terrible vengeance that
was poured out, still it resulted in great
good to Ireland, and the good consisted in
this: The Parliament, after Crom wells
victories, found themselves masters of Ire
land, and the Irish people lying in blood
and in ruin before them. What was their
next movef Their next move was to pass
a law driving all the people of ireland who
owned any portion of the landau the
irish land owners and sill the Catholics
ont of Ulster, Munster and Lienster; and
on the LIST of May, 1854, all the Inhabitants
of Ireland were driven across the Shannon
into Connaught. The coarse phrase used
by the Lord Protector on this occasion WAS
that they were to ego to hell or to Con-
naught!" The sOlemnity of the historic
occasion which brings rs together will not
permit me to make any remark upon such
phrase as this. However, the Irish did
not choose to go to he'll, but they were
obliged TO go to Connaught. Lest, how
ever, that any relief might coKae 70 them
by sea-lest they might ever enjoy the sight
Of the fair PROVINCES and fair lands that
were once their Own-the English Parlia-
ment made law that no IriShman, banish-
ed into COunaughts was to come within
four miles of the river Shannon, on the cue
side, or four miles of the sea on the other
aide. There was q Gordon of English SOL
diery aud English forts drawn around them,
and there they lived in the bogs, in the
Businesses, and in che wild wastes of the
most desoIate country in Ireland; and
there they were doomed to expire by cold,
by famine, aud by every form OF suffering
that their Heavenly Father might permit
to fall upon them.
Then We read that numbers of English
men csme Overland don't blame them
for the fair plains of Munster were there

II is a singular thing that there is nc
place so good as the House of Lords, OF
perhaps the House of Commons, to see
genuine curiosities Of old-fashioned cos
tunes. There are plenty of men in
either house who seem to have perma.
nently adopted some favorite fashion oil
their youth, and clung TO it fondly and
faithfully through all times and changes,
as more romantic souls cling to the
memory of a lost love. Stand any day
about halfpast four at the rear end OF
Westminster Hall aud note some Of the
costumes that.pe YOU the young men,
Of course, and many of the Oldslefs, are
made up to the hour by Poole, the fash
ionahle tailor, who cuts the clothes and
sometimes backs the bills of the aristo-
cracy, but never mind these Common
place CORRECT opes. Look at that old
peer, the collar OF whose coat comes up
SO far behind as almost TO touch the
curly brim Of his high-crowned hat. The
coat has fur collar; it is long in the
waist and long in the skirts, pumped
out in front Ike the breast Of a pigeon
or a psntomime prince. l suppose that
coat was in fashion when George
the Fonrth was regent here. See
here a tall old commoner in a blue
coat with gilt buttons, a buff waist

called Fatima," as the mother of tbs
prophet. Their principal names are
Aicha, Bedra, Fatima, Haonria, Khreira
Mimi, Nina, Rosa, Sbida, Zeina. Iohra
Not o few Of these names have very
6attering signifcations; for instance
Zeina signifies pretty, and Sbida orange
flower. The Moorish maiden marries
when very young; but scarcely any
change takes place in her social position
after she quits her paternal roof to abide
under that Of her husband.
1t she moves in good Arab society
she passes most of her time at the baths
(the gossiping shops of the East and
Algeria), and at her toilette; the rest in
eating all kinds Of sweetmeats, disputing
with her husbands other wives, or max
ing appointments with her friends to
visit the mosques, where she goes to
efer up prayers to the holy marabouts
that she may be the mother of many
sons. Thus does she pass her days in
trihes light as air, until certain period,
which, alas comes but too soon-that
is when her youth and beauty vanish
like a dream-and then she falls into q
lethargy from which the hand of death
alone relieves her.
Should she belong to the poorer class,
then her condition is much more to be
lamented. She is trained up from youth
to perform the most laborious work, and
for which, like the donkey, she receives
more kicks than presents" Her hus-
band beats her and her children, and
her condition is neither more nor less
than that of domestic animal. ~

Statistics.

Nowadays, we have statistics on
everything. The dilgent readers of
the daily papers can tell the exact num-
Der of tooth-picks manufactured from
the 3Oth day of December. 1870, to the
Both day OF December, 1871; how many
bushels we're devoured in the United
States during the past twelve months;
the number of clergymen afflicted with
the bronchitis since the battle of Bunker
Hill, and other equally interesting facts.
The last batch of statistics comes from
a Sandwich Island paper, aud certainly
that ought to be reliable authority
upon the subject regarding which it
gives facts and figures. 1t says that the
race of cannibals Is larger than is gene
rally supposed The Battas, according
to Friedman, may be reckoned at 200,-
900 souls the cannibals of the Niger
Delta at 100000; the Fans, according to
Fleurioit de Langle, at $1,000; the cave
dwellers of the Bassuto country-about
a tenth of the whole population- rat
100, 900; the Nam Mans at about 500,-
600; the Miranhas and Messayas, accord
ing to Marley at 2OOe; the other South
African cannibals at 1000; the Austria.
lian Aborigines at $4,000; the Melani-
slams, without including New Guinea, at
100000 1t must be taken into ac-
count, however, that most OF these people
are cannibals only in war, and that it is
an ancestral custom, more than appe-
tite, which eanses them to eat an enemy
instead of burying him. .u a.s

The New Postal Law In Force-One
st.-. Cent Postal Cards.

The new postal bill, which became a
law just before the late session closed,
makes some changes in the existing
postal regulations, which are of general
interest. The most important is the
authorization of one cent postal cards
for correspondence or for printed circu-
lars, similar to those which were intro
duced in Great Britain nearly two years
ago, and are now in use in nearly all
European countries. The House pro
vided in the bill for cards, with paper
flaps, to cover and conceal the writing.
The Senate changed this to an open
card. In the conference committee the
style Of the card was left to the discre-
ton Of the Postmaster General, who
prefers the open card, and will order
that kind only to be manufactured.
The face of the card will bear one,
cent stamp, and win be provided with
lines for the address, and the back will
be ruled for the letter. The price of the
card and stamp will be only one cent.
1t will probably be three or four weeks
before they will be ready for sale, as the
plates for printing have yet to be pre-
pared.
The postage on circulars, newspapers,
and other transient printed matter,
which. under the old law, was two cents
for every four ounces or less, is now one
cent for two ounces or less; small circu-
lars which formerly cost two cents to
mail can now be sent for one cent-an
important reduction to business men
who use the mails largely to advertise
their business. The change is now in
force, the law being immediate in its
effects,

coat and tight, gray trousers. Look
at another, who wears white duck, as
they used to be called in the days Of
our fathers, tightly strapped down over
the boots-that man, | suppose, began
to dress after the Duke of Wellington,
and has not noticed any change since
then. Talk of the costume Of Greeley
why he would be glass of fashion and
mold of form when, compared with
some Of these legislative eccentricities.
AS a matter Of fact, hardly any OF our
leading statesmen ever dress well.
Gladstones clothes seem to be thrown
on with pitehfork, as the old phrase
was. Disraeli looks like an ancient pic
ture Of a bright dandy from a book of
old fashions Bright dresses like plain
country manufacturer. The Marquis Of
Salisbury is as shabby looking as an old
clothes man. Earl Granville and the
Duke Of Argyle alone seem to care
much about maintaining the sartorial
dignity of British craftsmanship. hH

come from? Lets see: our maufacturier
sells a car load of his manufactured ar.
ticles to merchant in Georgia, Gas was
the case last week for ST 500 this money,
except the profits, he pays to his hands
aud the lumber men, who in turn pay it
over to our merchants aud groceries,
for supplies, or out for such articles Of
use and commerce as they may see proper.
Thus you see the money comes to our
place from Georgia, and other States to
TO which our manufacturers ship. These
factories assist the farmer to sell his tim
Der, the mill man to saw it, the mechanic
to manufacture it remuneratiyely-
enabling him to buy and pay for goods
wares, etc. Every department of bust
ness in our midst is aided by them. We
are far ahead of our neighbors, but we
want Hickman to be the greatest manu-
ufacturing town in this section.
The fact is being established that
money invested in manufacturing estab
lishments pays better per centage than
the same amounts in in groceries, dry
goods, or United States bonds.
