The cause Of the lamentable condition OF
Ireland is at last known. Mr.. ]. b. Barnett,
a Hebrew scholar, writing in the Jeptsh Chroni-
cle, contends that the Prophet jeremiah, with
the remnant of the tribe of Judah, migrated to
Ireland and was no other than the celebrated
Irish refonner and law-giver, 0liam Fola.
The prophet brought with him the Liza Fail,
or Stone of Destiny, which was subsequently,
conveyed by an Irish prince to Scotland for
coronation purposes, and centuries afterwards
removed to Westminster Abbey by King Ed
ward the Third, since which time all the kings
and queens of England down to Victoria have
been crowned upon it. This stone, Mr.. Barnett
says was that which was originally kept in
the sanctuary of the first temple at Jerusalem,
and was known as "Jacob's Stone" being
none other than the stone directly apostro-
phized by King David as the ssstone which the
builders rejected but which was destined for
peculiar honors Mr. Banett's essay has at
least the merit of being very curious and very
learned.

One of the most effective and comprehen-
sive criticisms upon Mr.. Summers proposition
we have yet seen, is that of the editor of the
Richmond Inquirer who says
1--WE regret that Mr.. Sumner should have
cast his apple of discord among the people at
this moment. We are perfectly aware of the
passions that will be excited by this move
ment, and in the discussion the South, as
usual, will be the sufferer. 1t is .o) soon for
us to expect to see all these monuments of the
war destroyed. We cannot do it ourselves
and don't expect it to be done all at once by
the North. The best that we can hope is
that in time the most obnoxious will be for
gotten or fall into neglect and disappear
though we are qIie sure there ale things con-
nected with tire heroic deeds of that struggle
tie South will not be content should die and
be forever lost to posterity. The resolution
of Mr.. Sumner was a very mischievous one,
and the subject ought not have been brought
up until the people had been better educated
in forgetfulness of the past. 1t seems to us
some men were born only to make mischief
and stir up strife, and must fulfill their mis-
sion"

The reports received by the centennial COM
mission indicate that Il ,plo are not willing
to contribute millions of dollars for centerl-
NAL celebration at Philadelphia, or, perhaps,
that they have not been sufficiently awakened
to the matter to consider it seriously, and
Congress will be asked for an appropriation
The work should have been commenced ear
lier, but it is too late to think about that now
The people, ON their part, should at once re-
mind themselves that their money is asked in
This manner but once in hundred years, and
act accordingly 1t would be shame to have
this grand enterprise fail now for the want of
little practical sympathy.

SAND IIoT BATHs.-One of the therapeutic
novelties in London, recently introduced from
the continent, consists in the erection of es-
Establishments for administering hot sand
baths as a remedy for rheumatism, recent
cases of nervous disorders, affection of the
kidneys, and all cases where heat is wanted as
the chief therapeutic agent. The advantages
of this treatment are that it does not suppress
perspiration like the hot water bath, but
rather increases it, and does not interfere
with the respiration like the steam bath or
Turkish bath. The body can endure it's in
fluence for a much longer time and much
higher temperature can be applied. 1t can be
used for infants, and permits of easy applica-
ton to a part or to the whole body.

A DRUNKEN DEATH INSTEAD OF A MAREI-
AeE.-Mr. Henry Greene, Of Michigan, who
was taken to the Park Hospital in New York
ON Saturday, the 14th inst, suffering from an
attack of delirium tremens, died on Tuesday
forenoon of last week. DIR. Greene had come
from the West to be married, and was on his
way to Armenia, where his Intended bride re-
sides. Meeting some old friends, he went on
spree and drank so heavily as to induce
mania-a-potu. of which he died. His parents
reside in Erie. Pa, and his remains were sent
to that city. The marriage was to have taker
place ON the 18th inst

What purports to be the last Will of Horace
Greeley is, as our readers know, matter of
contest There have been two or three hea
ilfgs in regard to it before the Surrogate OF
Westchester county, and further proceedings
are to follow We have read the report of the
testimony so far taken with good deal more
than ordinary interest, because II has happen-
ed to us to know something Of Mr.. Greeley's
feelings and views and purposes, especially
with reference to his children. He was an
honored guest of the Editor of this paper on
several occasions when in Morristown, and
shared two years ago when on his way to
Texas, a compartment in a Palace Car from
New York to Columbus Ohio, with some of
the lady member of our family-Mr. Greeley
himself renewing the acquaintance, and max
ing it the basis on the way of a familiar con-
versation with reference to some of his private
matters. He spoke especially of his elder
daughter, who, contrary to his wishes and
Judgment, was Roman Catholic educated in
Convent, and holding firmly to a faith that
he did not approve, and stated that his young
er daughter was being educated under differ
Greeley was man who had no secrets. There
must be hundreds of people in the country to
whom he communicated in substance what he
did to us and to our family. And it cannot be
true that the Will written, by him on the 9th
OF November, and acknowledged but an hour
before his death under peculiar circumstances.
was ever the Will of his sane moments. The
very fact that his daughter Ida voluntarily re-
linquishes her rights under the Will. and
makes over by Quit Claim Deed, her money
privileges granted by it, is suspicious; while
the other fact that she retains her right of edu-

We have certainly no interest in the dispo-
sition of Mr.. Greeley's property. Itisnothing

culiar circumstances, and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
in way, and in moments that we should hope
never would be repeated in the fading out of
our existence. -Morristoua Jerseymdn.
