Celebration Of st. Patrick's Day in
New York.

New York, IS. The celebration of St.
Patrick's Day by the Irish residents in this
vicinity was noteworthy for enthusiasm and
absence of the disturbing elements. The
procession in this city probably numbered
$4,000, headed by the Goth New York and
First New Jersey Militia, and several minor
military organizations. Among the attrac-
tons were the Gallow Glasses, a body Of
men in ancient costumes of the Irish The
streets were packed with sightseers. The
procession was reviewed by the Mayor and
other members of the city government.
Brooklyn also had a fine procession, prob
ably mile in length. What was first re-
ported riot in Jersey City proved an insig-
nfcant affair. Two men who attempted to
cross the route of the procession were Sc
verely beaten. The assailant in one case
was arrested which caused considerable ex-
element, and once an attempt was made to
move against the police but did not become
serious and quiet was quickly restored. Ban
quets were given tonight by prominent So
cieties which passed off pleasantly.

proportions. mass meeting was held in
the city park, at which it is estimated that
lo,oo0 people were present. Mr.. Ronayne

powerful speech. He said the most despotic

such an occasion as royal Thanks giving to

Political prisoners. The Queen should re-
member that her dynasty owed is existence
to the greatest perjurer of modern times.
The Duke. of Marlborough, Providence,
seemed to intcrpose to remind her of that,

when O'Conner presented the pistol and pc

of the Churchlls. England had never grant
ed Ireland anything from motives of justice.
Concessions had always been wrung from her

The speakers bold denunciatons were re-

there was great excitement no disorder &C.

New MODE OF WAsHING.-The ill
effects of soda on linen have given
rise to q new method of washing,
which has been extensively adopted
in Germany, and introduced into Bel
gum. The operation consists IN dis
solving two pounds of soap in about
three gallons of water as hot as the
hand can bear, and adding to this one
tablespoonful of turpentine and three
of liquid am monia the mixture must
then be we'll stirred, and the linen
steeped in it for two or three hours,
taking care to cover up the vessel con-
tanning them as nearly hermetrically
as possible. The clothes are after
ward washed out and rinsed in the
usual way. The soap and water may
be reheated, and used a second time
but in that case half a teaspoonful oi
ammonia must be added. The pro
cess is said to cause great economy
of time, labor and fuel. The liner
scarcely suffers at all, as there is little
necessity for rubbing, and its cleanli
ness and color are perfect. The am
moilia and tnrpentine, although thei
defersive action is great, have no IN
jnrious effect upon the linen; a1s
while the former evaporates immedl
ately, the smell of the latter is said t.
disappear entirely during the dryias
of the clothes.
