An Irish FRneral.

The Dublin correspondent of the
Gondoa Times writes:
The people of the West of Ireland
especially are very religious, but some
times exhibit their zeal in a manner
afforded in the account Of some pro
ceedings on Tuesday at the funeral Of
the late sub sheriff, Mr.. Cullen. He
was attended during his illness by
two Protestant clergymen, but some
Of his relations, who are Roman Cath
oIics, brought in Priest when he was
dying, and he was then claimed as a
member Of their church A struggle
was made, after his death, as to wheth
er the remains should be inferred in
Protestant or Roman Catholic ground.
The point is determined by the will,
in which he appointed the two Pro
testant ministers his executors, and
directed that he should be buried in
ST. Nicholas church. When the time
for the funeral arrived, four priests
issued from the house reading pray
ers, followed by the two Protestant
clergYmen. On arriving at the grave
yard the priests retired, but the men
bearing the coffin attempted to carry
it past the church door, so as to pre-
vent the celebration of the Protestant
service A number of Protestants
who had assembled to witness the in
terment interfered, and, taking the
coffin from the bearers, after n scutfle,
brought it into the Church, and the
service was then proceeded with, amid
the yells of s mob of 300 or 400 per-
sons outside. 1t was necessary to
prolong the service until a sufficient
force Of police could be collected, with
rifles and bayonets, to preserve the
peace, and the body was committed to
the ground, while the multitude con
tiuued to hoot and shout, and some oil
the persons who assisted in geltin9
the coffin into the church we're struck
with stones, and had to be escorted
! home.

The Gilman, Clinton and Spring.
field Fraud.

The expense of the Credit Afobilier
in the case of Gilman. Clinton &
Springfield Railroad in this State dis
closes. perhaps, the history of many
other similar frauds in the Vest. The
original company had no cash capital
except the subscriptions made by the
towns and counties along the line.
These subscriptions were as follows:
Dewitt county, Sl75, 900; the towns
Clintonia, Dewitt and Tunbridge,,
$l20,0O0; total for Dewitt. 1895, 900.
The towns of Dowuer's Grove Ly-
man and Peach Orchard, in Ford coun-
ty, $50, 600 The town of Douglass
in IrOquois county, S25,00O. The,
towns of H1tna and Mount Pleasant,
in Logan county, S58, 900. The town
of Bet Flower, in Mclean county,
$4,000; and Sangamon county, $751;
600, making altogether $3.50, 800. The
company then let out the work of con-
struction to their own members, and
the l10 miles was completed at a cost
Of $780, 900. To the contractors
was paid the $3.50, 500 town bonds,.
50. 100000 of first mortgage bonds,
and $1,000,0)O income bonds, and
they have a further claim of $373, 900 ::
total of $3,952, 900. They now pro-
pose to lease the road in perpetuity to,
the Pennsylvania Company, thereby
cutting off the towns and counties of
the meager show they had of getting
any return for their money. This
Credit MObilier divides S2.352, 5000 on
an expenditure of SI,600,O00, which
is doing very well for rural enter

He Walked Him.

A young man in this city is very
sound sleeper, and, as his business
sometimes requires him to rise very
early, he employs some one to awak-
en- him on such occasions. He has an
alarm clock, but he has got so used to
it that he does not hear it, and in fact
the task of rousing him is a very diff
Gull one. The subject was being dis
cussed one evening, and a friend offer
ed to wager that he could arouse the
sleeper without touching him or call
ing more than Once,-''it was all non
sense about being so hard to awaken
ANYBODY; he knew it was.'
The wager was taken and the day
appointed to witness the operation
The morning having arrived, the sci
entific awakener called the sleeper
once and he partially awoke, yawaned
and breathed heavy sigh. THIS sigt
was what the scientific friend was af
| ter
just as he gathered himself for ;
heavy inspiration, the friend let go
heavy pinch of ground ginger, and the
next minute he was flying down stairs
with spittoons, booUpcks, photograpl
al buns, inkstanls, cigar-holders, ant

Some Mule.

A farmer in this county, says the
Newberry Is. O. Progressive Age,
has mule SO awfully contrary that he
can do nothing with it. Put him in
harness, and it is hard to say which
way he will travel. Put a saddle on
him, and he appears to doze; but try
to mount him, and he will all of sud
den kick every way-straight out,
straddle bug, with all four legs at
once. AS to eating, he will eat
anything from his feed-trough up to a
wooden saddle. The owner took no
ton to have him shed, but he kicked
out the blacksmith shop and returned
home. The owner tried to kill him
some time back, so he tied his ears
with trace chain and rode him six
consecutive days and nights as hard
as he could under the whip and spur
The fact is, he nearly killed himself in
the effort. and he had to be carried up
stairs to bed, and his firm belief was
that the mule would die that night, but
to his astonishment, the next morning
he found that the mule had kicked to
death a Chester hog weighing 300
pounds, bit q piece out of his horses
shoulder, eat up the saddle, blankets
and bride, tore down the fence and
was splurging about more devilish
thah ever, to fnd something else
meaner to do.

The suopIv of Postal cards.

The recent firm stand taken by the
Postoff1ce Department with the Nor
gan Envelope company, relative to the
manufacture of postal cards, appears
to have an excellent effect. The cards
received within day or two past are
better than any heretofore manufac-
tured, the most marked improvement
being in the quality and finish of the
paper. This would indicate that til
company can, if they are so disposed
do the work satisfactorily. The man
ufacturers have caught up with the
public demand, and all acquisitions
are being filled as fast as received.
They now have on hand at Springfield
about 6 900, 900 cards, and there is no
apprehension that the manufacturers
will run behind.

THE HANDFUL OF EAEsTEH.

The following exquisite irish ballad was pub
l;shed over an anonymous signature in Il Lon
don paper. Let nishmen read it:
Its sailing am at the dawn of the day,
To my brother that's over the sea
But it's little I'll care for my life anywhere,
For its breaking m y heart will be;
But Il treasure I'll take for ould Ireland's sake
That I'll prize all belonging above;
It's handful o. earth from the land of my birth,
From the heart o. the land l love
And won't the poor lad in his exile be glad
When he sees the brave present bring?
And won't there be flowers from this treasure of
ours
In the warm of the beautiful spring?
Och. Erin machree! though it's partin' we be,
It's Il blessing I'll leave your shore
And your mountains and streams Ill sec in my
dreams
Till cross to my country once more

PAST PANICS.
The Great Crisis of 1887 and 1857.
[From the New Y ork World
THE PANIC OF 1887.

The two causes generally assigned
for the panic of 1887 were the Bank of
England in 1886 requiring payment
from the American houses in London,
and the passing of the ''Surplus Reve-
nue." bill by Congress, which latter
had the eject Of causing the bank cred
its, which represented the surplus lev
enue, to be transferred from place to
place without any regard to the laws
Of trade. The combination of these
circumstances was too much for the
banks, and they all simultaneously
stopped payment in May, 1887, as we'll
as the three leading American houses
IN London. The depreciation of bank
notes throughout the country varied
from II to 25 per cent. The Eastern
banks adopted all proper measures to
secure speedy resumption of fpayments,
but their efforts were not seconded nv
those OF other parts of the country,
and in the West and South new banks
continued to be created During the
remainder Of 1887 and in 1888 the ex
cess OF specie imports over exports
was SIS, 100000, of which n part was
sent to the Bank of England to enable
the American banks to resume. In
May, 1888, the banks of New England
and New York resumed and continued
to pay specie. In the August follow
ing the banks Of Philadelphia pro
posed to pay specie, and by January,
1889, there was a nominal resumption
OF payment throughout the county
October, however, of the same year the
Philadelphia banks suspended a sec
ond time; resumed in January, 1S41 ]:
suspended a third time the 4th of the
February following, and did not per-
manently resume till March, 1912. In
1887 there were 7SS banks in the coun-
try, employing a capital of S290,O00,-

PANIC OF 1851.

PANIC OF 1891.
Up TO August, 1857. that proved so
fatal to all the business interests of
the country, commercial affairs had
been pursuing the even tenor of their
way on the high road of prosperity
Everything, pointed to still more
prosperous figure. The mania for
building railways had apparently been
nipped, if not in the bud, at least be-
fore it had extended too greatly the
country's credit, and although there
were several hundred millions of for
eign capital in use, in case of its be
ing recalled, the home market could
register the bonds which represent
ed it at half the Far cost. The wisest
Solomons Of banking saw no indica
tions Of the coming storm in the com
mercial skies. When, on tie 9Th of
August, the loans reached the unprcc-
edented height of 1922, 100000, even
then a reduction of $1O,0OO,OOO or
81, 100000 during the autumn
months without injury to commerce
was declared possible, and in pursu-
ance of this declaration the banks be-
gan to contract their loans. Never
was an act followed by more fearful
consequences. The prices of securi
ties at the Stock Board immediately
fell. The failure Of a heavy produce
house, although accounted for hy the
depression of that particular interest
in the market, and the report of de-
talcation in a leading railway company
caused a suspicion of coming crisis
to faint the public security, but failed
to seriously effect the general conf
dence. On the oath of the month the
news Of the suspension of the Ohio
Life Insurance and Trust Company
came like thunder from a clear sky
The financial circle vibrated to its
center; banking officers, panic stricken
by the suddenness of the blow, at once
lost their heads. The days of '37
seemed once more upon them and
financial chaos was come again
Stocks and commercial paper were at
once sacrificed at ruinous rates, Other
failures were announced, and rumOrs
exaggerated each calamity. The
Clearing House report for Aug, %
the first after the suspension of tht
Trust ompanY-showed n reduction
of S4,00O,000 in the bank loans for th'
previous week. A defalcation was an
nounccd on the same day of $4,000
in one of the associated banks, and 81
great was the general mistrust tina
other institutions Immediately oecam
suspected of similar dishonesty. Th
most substantial securities in the mar
ket sold for next to nothing at publ
sale, and while the regular discount
of bills by the banks had been nearl.
suspended, street rates for money o
the most unquestioned securities ros
to what was up to that time unhcar

BIZ MARY c. BARTLETT.

IN the glorious. golden summer
Meath Il spreading dropping Il ee.
Flowed UIoOkiet to the river
Bright and glad and fair to see.
r nd the broad leaves sWaving bending
Almost touching its bright face
Filled the brook with earnest longing
Then to clasp in fond embrace
So above the pebbles springing.
Lovingly. 1t wo0ed them each
But the mocking. summer breeZes
Tossed them, ever. out of reach
In the chilly. dTeary autumn
Those bright leaves. grown brown and Sere,
FlutteTed to the brooklet's bosom.
Trusting that they, still were dear
But the bF0OkletfS breast was frozen
All too late its love had come
And it coldly, camly lay there
Though beneath, its heart made moan.
Thus we strive, in our bright summer
After all that makes life fair
Wealth and fame and love and pleasure-
All in vain; and in despair
We, in autumn, cease our striving
Cease to dream OF Nearn and want:
Then perchance comes what we longed for
Like the withereu leavcs,-too late!
Late too late, the sad heart grieves.
" hat Is wealth with none to share it?
W hat name with none to bear it?
What are joys, to hearts grown old?
What Is love, to hearts grown cold:
Naught alas! but withered leaves!'
