A Belligerent Editor.

The following item is taken from a
Boston special:
At the Office of the Pilot, a Catholic
newspaper, John Boyle O'Reilly, the
editor, who was formerly in the British
army-and was convicted of ,Fenianism,
and transp orted to Australia, whence he
escaped in a small boat, and was picked
up by an American vessel and brought
into this city-heard that man in the
establishment has been circulating sto-
ries to the effect that he (O'Reilly) was
in the pay of the British government,
and had secured the removal of his own
disabilities by throwing the influence of
the Pilot in favor of British rule in Ire
land. He called the man into his room
and demanded an explanation or retrac-
ton. This the man refused to give,
when OReilly attacked him, and put
marvellous head on him, ending by kick
ing him down stairs. The affair caused
a good deal of excitement among Irish
men in this city, as the liberal course of
the Pilot, under the O'Reilly manage
ment, has offended many of the more
bigoted Irish, especially those who blow
about the wrongs of the "ould sod, /"
striking blow at England, etc.
O'Reilly is young man Of fine talents,
and highly esteemed by his brother
Journalists

An AdrOit Robbery.

The recent robbery of an express car
at Delaware station, little hamlet on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, was an adroit affair. The
train stopped at the station for supper,
remaining there fifteen minutes. The
express messenger being hungry locked
the safe, shut the door of the express
car, locked it, and bolted off to supper.
He forgot the door of his car on the
other side of the platform. The robber
remembered it, opened it in few Sec
onds, placed a tie against the car, and
by main force slid the safe-a mere iron
box weighing 218 pounds to the track,
closed the door, and logged his ponder
GUS capture away. Coming to a high
fence, he pulled down enough of it to
admit the safe, and after dragging it
fifty yards further pried it open. He
made hurried examination of it's con-
tents with light, and secured So, 900 in
cash and jewelry, leaving nearly four
times that amount in greenbacks, done
up in paper In such a manner that he
could not discover what they were. The
robbery and examination were complet-
ed SO rapidly that the train had barely
left the station when a resident of the
village encountered man running
from the spot. A few minutes later the
safe had been discovered before the ex-
press messenger had missed it, and re-
hected upon his ostrich-like stupidity.

Border Warfare.

There appears to be no doubt that
Mexican rangers are again at the excit-
ing and profitable pastime of raiding
over the border. The Galveston Tex. J
NeaOS gives an account of raid on Los
Almos, about 100 miles from the Rio
Grande. Parties of raiders have also
been seen crossing the river with bales
of calico and other evidences of spolia-
ton on their horses, while bands of rob-
bers have collected cotton, cattle, and
horses from various parts of Texas, and
and carried off their booty unmolested.
Of course when dry goods, cattle, and
other commodities are too expensive for
purchase, cheap and practicable means
OF obtaining them opens up in raid !;
but the laws of modern society are
singularly barren of encouragement to
this free and easy style of obtaining
possession. Mexican dollars are just as
good as gold, and the good people of
Texas would prefer coin to curses in ex-
change for their products. In fact, un-
less hemp offers such attractions to the
raiders that they have carried off all
that is available in the neighborhood, a
judic1ous application of it to the
marauders would be advisable. Of
course, before cooking hare it is neces-
sary to catch him; but if the Texans
cannot make proper preparation for
feast of jagged Mexican hare, they do
not deserve sympathy.

Ice Signals i'm the North Atlantic.


A very beautiful and useful system
of ice signaling has been recently adopt
ed by one of the Canadian steamship
lines, which promises to give great safe
ty and security to passengers crossing
the Atlantic. The company has is
sued to all it's commanders an ice chart
and tallying ice signals, by the use of
which steamers passing each other can
learn when and where dangerous bergs
and ice fields have, been encountered.
The ice chart is divided into degrees of
longitude and half degrees of latitude,
nearly making squares, each of which
has a separate literal designation. This
in each section of the chart consists of
two letters representing flags Of the COM
mercial code, and when the correspond
ing flags are hoisted by a steamer indicate
to the passing ship the exact position of
the ice met. The ensign hoisted above
these means berg ice, and the Union
Jack field ice likely to imperil naviga-
ton. The flags are, of course, only
seryiceable in the day time but at
night the ice signals are made by means
of Colomb's Chatham lamp. The whole
system is one of extreme simplicity,
both in the chart and code, and easily
enables any steamer, after passing
through the ice track near Newfound-
land, to communicate to the steamer
approaching it the precise place of the
peril, and therefore the imminent ne
cessity of extreme caution in nearing
that point.

The Wages of Women.

The fact that women have been re-
garded as dependent upon men for pro-
lection and support, has naturally led
to the payment of low wages for work
performed by females. Where man
and woman are employed in the same
kind OF work, the man usually receives
double the wages paid to the woman,
although she may perform her duties
better than the man performs his. Every
one has felt the injustice of this dis
elimination against woman, but it has
been justified on the ground that she is
only temporarily providing for her
wants-she expects to marry and be
supported by husband while he must
make provision for the support of a
family and provide against adversely.
Thus, the theory of dependence on
the part of women has been sustained
by common custom in preventing
women from achieving their independ-
ence. '@
California has undertaken to break
down the old order of things and estab-
llsh practices more in harmony with
Justice. A law has been enacted in that
Ooht0 WHICH, p0TmlbS d married WOmau 10
make contract for her own estate, rem
ders women eligible for certain school
Offices, and compels school boards to
pay female teachers the same salaries
that are paid to men for similar work.
This is simple justice, and cannot fail
to meet with general approval. The
only reasonable objection ever urged
against opening more avenues to female
employment, has been the plea that
such employment would result in break
ing down the prices of labor. BY pay
ing women the same as men this OBJ
lection is removed, and there can be no
we'll grounded opposition to, the en-
ployment of women in any pursuits
in which they can successfully engage.

BIackbOards in Schools.

Blackboards are an experiment as yet,
we believe, in most schools or. at least,
they are not recognized as a necessary
part of the school machinery. In many
cases they can be, and are used with
good effect in illustrating the points of
a lesson. But there is danger of at
tempting too much with it, as Rev.
Alfred Taylor has so we'll shown. He
fears that teacher who is skillful with
the chalk may suffer his very skillful-
ness to lead him astray. CHE covers
his board with rich assortment of
words, withlarge and beautifully devised
initial letters but forgets that the
abundance which he thinks so valuable
tends to confuse rather than to instruct,
to scatter rather than to bring the lesson
to point. A company of children gaze
in bewilderment on blackboard artist
ically adorned with hearts, crosses,
anchors, lamps, rocks, and dozen 9TH
er well-known objects, all except one or
two of which ought to have been left
out. The leading idea which they catch
is that of his wonderful skill with the
chalk. The truth which his marvellous
work is intended to convey is simply

Russia and Germany.

The Paris Patrie publishes the fol-
lowing, which it has reason to believe
is reliable. Russia is convinced that
soon. though not immediately-in two
or three years about-she will have a
terrible struggle with Germany. I
point to this time not arbitrarily, but
because it is certain that the former
country cannot sooner have completed
her armament, and more particularly
her railways. This prospect is gener-
ally taken for granted by the people,
and the Court of ST. Petersburg is so
fully prepared for conflict that it be-
ieves it knows the caSus BELLA de-
mand by Prince Bismarck, supported,
according to the German manner, by
the opinions of juris-consults, as COM
placent as expert, for the German Bal
tic provinces. Herr Won Moltke is pre-
pared for the contingency he has taken
his precautions in consequence. A mass
of spies spread over Livonia and Cour-
land, carefully studied plan of cam
paign, complete to its smallest details,
the Russian language taught the Off
GERS, the railway wagons adapted to the
Russian lines" etc., etc.

The Freight War.

The trunk lines composing the Sara
toga compact having failed to induce
the Grand Trunk railroad to join them,
recently reduced their rates by their
fast freight lines" to the minimum
rates of the Grand Trunk. But the
latter, having completed it's arrange
ments for an independent line to Port
land, at once put its rates down, and
the managers say they will continue to
compete with the other roads, no mat
ter how low they may put rates. AS
the direct exports of provisions from
Chicago to Europe is likely to be very
large during the next three or four
months, and the Grand Trunk has ar
ranged to have two steamers per week
leave Portland for Liverpool, and pro-
pose to issue bills of lading for through
freight, deliverable to steamers free of
cost, shippers to Europe will not be
sorry to nave the war between the lines
continue through the winter. The
present rates of rail freights between
the West and seaboard are not more
than compensating to roads built at the
cost of the New York Central, Erie and
Pennsylvania Central. But that is not
a question with Western shippers any
more than the cost of producing bar
rel of -four or hundred pounds of pork
is to the consumer and if the Grand
Trunk and Baltimore and Ohio can. as
they claim, carry freight and earn divi-
dends at lower rates than the three
lines above named, the public will be
likely to give them them the preference.
