The salaries Of twenty-cight prelates

eight hundred thousand dollars; but
to this you must add f3S,000 for as

Ireland.

1Eo1000s
Dublin (sept. 81 Correspondent of the New
York World.
The population Of Ireland decreased
BY l,522,3l0 persons between the years
l84l-5l, by 1854 in the next decade,
and by 397 ,208 between the years 1851
I'll. There is reason to believe that
this decrease by the end of the present
decade will have wholly ceased-that
is, that the emigration will not exceed
the natural increase of the population.
The condition Of the country is now
really prosperous. Wages have greatly
advanced in consequence of the limited
supply of laborers. The reform of the
land law has had most excellent eff.
feet, and not unfrequently Irishmen re.
turn from America with fortunes
gained there to take up their
abode in their native land.
The aggregate investment in Gov
eminent stocks, joint stock banks, and
savings banks in 1864 were ESD, 1888, 600;
but on the 30th Of June, 1874, they
were f67 ,382, 900, an increase of % per
cent in ten years. The value of live
stock in 1884 was f30,728,fflO; in 1874
it was f37 ,225,887. It is to be remark
ed that although in thirty years Ireland
has lost about 100000 Of her people,
the relative proportion OF Catholics and
Pedestrians remains almost unchanged.
1nSMunster, in 1851, 938 out Of every
1000 were Catholics; the proportion
now is 936 to each 1000. In Kerry the
Catholics in 1851 were 987 in each 1000;
they now are 968 in each 1000. In
"Protestant" Clster-which is Protest.
ant only in name-therc were ISL Cath.
olics in each 1000 in 1851. and now
there are 1853 to each 1000. The old
faith does not die out, despite the fact
that the emigrants are for the most part
Catholics.

Showing the Boys i'm Washoe How
to Shoot.
ia

V1on ttIe virginia EnVerpflSe.)
Recently, at a saloon on the Divide,
some men were discussing the shooting
attray which occurred during the morn.
ing between the two brothers-in.law
Fallman and Ward. 1t was agreed on
all hands that it was shocking bad
snooting--a discrcd;t to Washoe. At
last Phoebe man bantered Comstock
man, whom he knew to be a good shot
with pistol, to so out in the back yard
with him and do some shooting, Just to
show the <'boys'' how it should be done.
In the saloon was box of eggs, and
what the Piocher proposed was that
each shoot two eggs off the bare head
of the other at distance of ten PAGES,
the one missing to treat the crowd.
The Comstocker was bound not to be
bluffed by man from the other end
of the State, so to the backyard all
hands adjourned. Each man used his
own six-shooter. The Comstocker
first ''busted'' his egg on the top
of the Piochcr's head, which exploit
was loudly applauded by all present. 1t
was then the Piocher's turn to shoot,
and an egg was produced to be placed
upon the head of the Comstocker, but
when he renewed his hat there was a
great laugh, for the top Of his head
was as smooth as billiard ball. For
full ten minutes all hands tried in vain
to make an egg stand on his head. 1t
couldn't be done. The Piochcr thon
tauntcd the Comstocker with having
gone into the arrangement knowing
that he was safe. The latter told him
to set up his egg and it was all right
he was there. The Piocher went into
the saloon, and moment after came
out with small handful of -four, which
he dabbed upon the head of the Com
stocke:, and then triumphantly plant.
ed in it his egg, fell back
ten steps, and then knocked
it off. The Comstockcr then told him
to set up his second egg and shoot at it,
as he didn't want to have his head
chalked twice during the game. This
was done, and the wreck of second
egg streamed over the Comstockcr's
pate. The Piocher now stood out with
his last egg on his head. The Com
stocker raised his pistol and fired. The
Piocher bounded a yard into the air,
and the egg bounced whole from his
head. GIVE lost!'' said the Comstock-
er. "Let all come and take a drink.
BY slip I've put half the width of nv
bullet through the top of his left earn'
and so it proved upon measurement.

TIE REFORMER.
BY J. G. WalTfvER.

BY J. g. WalTfvE1.
All grim and solid, and brown with tan,
saw strong one in his wrath,
Shifting tho goddess shrinee Of man
Along his path
Fraud from his secret chambers fled
Before the sunlight bursting in !;
Sloth drew her pillow DER h"r head
To drown the din.
"spare," Art implored, lyon holy pile J:
That grand, old time worn tprret spare!'
Meek Reverence, kneeliug in the aisle,
Cried out ''Forbear."
Gray. bearded Use, who. deaf ana blind,
Cropped for his old, accastom'x stone,
Lean'd on his staff and wept to find
His seat DER thrown.
Young Romance raised his dreamy eyes,
O'erhung with paly locks OF gold;
'Why smite," he asked, in sad surprise,
':The fair, the old?
Ye. louder rang the strong ones stroke,
Yet nearer flashed his axes CLEAN!
Shuddering and sick of heart woke,
As from a dream.
Hooked; aside IL e dust-cloud rolld-
The waster seem'd the builder too;
Upspringing from the ruin'd old,
Isaw the new.
Twas but the ruin of the bad
The wasting Of the wron and ill;
Whate'er Of good the old time had,
Was living still.
Calm grew the brows of him feared;
The frown which awed me passed away,
Aud left behind smile that cheered
Like breaking day.
The grain grew green on battle plains,
Der swsrded war mounds grazed the
COW;
The slave stood forging from his chains
The spade and plow.
Where frowned the fort, pavilions gay
And cottage windows, flower entwined,
Looked out upon the peaceful bay
Aud hills behind.
Through vine-wreathed cups, with wine
once red,
The lights OH trimming crystal fell,
Drawn, sparkling, from the rivulet head
And messy we'll.
Through prison walls, like Heaven-scnt
hope,
Fresh breezes blew and sunbeams stray'd,
And with the idle gallows rope
The young child play'd.
Where the doom'd victim in his cell
Had counted Ger the weary hours,
Glad school. girls, answering to the bell,
Came crowned with flowers.
Grown wiser for the lesson given,
fear no longer, for know
That where the share is deepest driven,
The best fruits grow.
The out.w rite, the old abuse,
The pious fraud transparent grown,
The good held captive in the use
Of wrong alone.
These wait their doom, from that great law
Which makes the past time serve to-day,
And fresher life the world shall draw,
From their decay.
OH acknowledging son Of Timel
The new is old, the old is new
The cycle Of change sublime
Still sweeping through.
So wisely taught the Indian seer:
Destroying SEvA, forming BRAIN,
Who wake by turns Earth's love and fear,
Are one, the same.
As idly as, in that old day.
Thou mournest, did thy sires repine
So, in his time, thy child grown gray,
Shall sigh for thine.
Yet not tho less for them or thoul
The eternal step of Progress beats
To that great anthem, calm and slow,
Which God repeats.
Take heart 1.-THE waster builds again
4 charmed lie old GooG ness nath;
The tares may perish-but the grain
Ia not for death.
God works in all things; all obey
His first propulsion from the night;
Ho! wake and watch! the world is gray
With morning light!

Gen. Miles Whips the Hostile Indi.
ans In Northern Texas.

A special Of the 23d from Topeka,
says: ''Late advices from the Indian
country arc very encouraging. The In.
dams are thoroughly demoralized, and
fleeing to their agencies, leaving behind
them everything but their ponies, arms
and clothing. The recent surrender
of Satanic and other leading chiefs, de-
moralized all the hostile parties and
it is believed they do not contemplate
further resistance. General Miles
is now on Wolf creek, max .
ing for the head waters of
that stream. Col. Biddle is guarding
the Adobe Walls country and the cross.
ing Of the Canadian river, and Col.
Price is securing the country between
the Canadian and the north fork of that
stream. Capt. Chafee destroyed five
lodges, and captured about $50 ponies
on the Sweet Water on the 10Th inst,
and Lieut.. Baldwin captured horses,
destroying 40 or so lodges on the
head waters of the Red river about the
same time. Gen. Miles regards the
campaign as an entire success. He has
given the Indians severe chastiscmcnt
wherever he met them, and DESTROYED
an amount Of property which they can
not replace in years. His command is
now we'll supplied with rations and
fresh horses, and it will make short
work of the remainder"

D. W. INGERsoLL & Co. have had a
large trade the past week. Large
stock, good goods and low prices is
what did the business. No firm in the
State has a more firm hold upon the
confidence of the people than Mcssrs.
lngersoll & Co., and deservedly so, for
there is no clap-trap abont them. They
are daily sending goods to al; parts Of
the State, and their order department
IS managed with care and judgment.
Their system of buying for cash and
selling for cash, and at one price is, and
always will be, popular, and VIC sec no
reason why people all over the State
should be content to pay the prices
they do for their dry goods when an Or

the market and forwarded to their
very door by express, to be paid for
when the goods are delivered.

Manufacturing.

The Importance of home manufactures in
the West is thus discussed by the Toledo
CO., Blade in terms applicable to all parts
Of the country.
The people of The West would to-day be
better off with much less number Of acres
cultivated and larger amount OF manu.
featuring in their midst. This every one
must admit. If one man has not the means
to start a business Of this character, let a
combination of men furnish the capital.
By all means, let the people of the West
adopt course which will not leave them so
dependent upon the East for the sale OF
their surplus products and the supply Of
their wants in everything except meats and
breadstuffs. Every village and every COM
munity should give encouragement and sup
port to home manufactures. Enlightened
selfshness, as we'll as the general good.
dictates such policy. The West should
be dotted all over with manufacturing es-
Establishments, and the people should cease
impoverishing themselves by paying freight
upon raw material sent to the East and
manufactured articles sent to the West. 1t
is too expensive, and the expense is all
borne by those living at the West end of the
route. Let the West stand by its own in
terests- encourage home manufactures
and its independence will be established
and its progress made stronger and more
enduring.

Body Burning.

The New York World, speaking Of Gre
nation, gives the following instance Of the
neatness of the thing: In the Vienna
Exposition this matter was practically ex-
emplified. On one of the mysterious shelves
was bottle marked No. 10, containing
three and three quarter pounds of fertiliz
ing material. the gross result Of an Italian
gentleman, who had evidently never been
in such reduced circumstances before.
The entire cost Of putting him into glass
case was just two shillings and four pence,
English money. This of itself is an item
Of sufficient Importance to carry conviction
to any sane man. 1t only takes three hours
and about half a cord Of wood to put q
millionaire into a very small glass bottle.
The only difficulty to be apprehended is
the inevitable increase Of family jars.
However, after death, it will be always
possible to put q stopper in, which during
life is sometimes difficult.

Editors Grange Adrance:
DEAR BRos.-I have letter before me
from the |" Minneapolis Harvester Works, -
stating that the sample Werner Harvester
and two sets of patterns have arrived at
their works. and they are now pushing the
work vigorously on the Werner Harvesters.
This looks like business, and we shall no
doubt have few out this harvest-perhps
one hundred. Orders arc coming in for
them at this Office, and Brothers who want
them should send in their orders early, for
Bro. Denman will adopt the rule, ''first
come, first served"
There seems to be more earnest work in
the county agency system than ever before
Many new agents are being appointed and
in some instances the Councils furnish the
agents with supply Of samples at their
risk this is sure way to bring the SAM
pies before the people and gives the agents
a chance. Fraternally yours,
E. N. WEST,
Clerk for J. s. Denman.
