Minister would lose no opportunity to remove
the discontents which cause such deep dis
loyalty. Mr.. Butt and his friends allege that
the granting of an Irish Parliament to deal
with purely Irish affairs would have the effect
OF rallying the immense majority, even of the
most rebellious to the side of loyalty. If this
be true it is certainly the interest Of England,
as much as Of Ireland, that the experiment
should be made. Ungenerous suspicious
ought not to be allowed to bar the way to
sincere reconciliation among two peoples who
have many interests in common. But it is
evidently futile on the part of England to
hope that loyalty will grow in Ireland while
the present unsatisfactory relations of the
countries continue

mate OF Thor Importance.
Professor PIERCE, in a recent paper on
Steam Lanes. made some suggestions which
should not pass unnoticed. His points may
be stated thus-
Frst-That ''steam lanes should be estab-
ished, because collisions will be hundred
fold more imminent in the next generation,
when ocean travel will have multiplied very
largely; in fact, there must be one hundred
collisions then where we have one now.
Second-It has been suggested that there
should be distinct ''lane" for every month
of the year, laid down with scrupulous re-
gard to maritime experience.
1Had-The meridian of greatest danger is
fifty degrees west Of Greenwich, on the banks
of Newfoundland, with its dense fogs, fishing
smacks and stranded icebergs. This is tho
vital point and may dispose of the whole
question.
Fourth-That the systems adopted by the
German lines and the Cunard line are oppos-
ing in their character, producing confusion
and uncertainty.
FyM-That the Cunard lane now in force is
the best one.
Sirth-That ''steam lanss' might be COM
PEELED by clause in marine insurance pol
icies.
Losty-That vessels should be COMPEL ed
to observe uniform speed-say ten knots an
hour-during the continuance of fog, if the
lanes be established.
These positions are nearly all well taken,
and, If they do not entirely cover the ground,
are highly crsditable to the acumen of the emil
nent scientist of Cambridge. His assumption
that collisions must increase with the growth
Of traffic needs no support. for it is the his
tory of past disasters on the Atlantic But
the point which he clearly states and seem
ingly reprobates is the attempt to establish
separate 'lans" for every month of the year.
It will not take any professional knowledge to
perceive that multitude Of trackways would,
In fact, be but the system at present en-
ployed, and would realize no just conception
of what true highways ought to be- There is
nothing new In the statement that the
meridian of fifty west from Greenwich is the
most dangerous quarter, and while this is
strictly true we must beg leave to differ from
the Professor when he undertakes to assume
that only one fixed point is necessary for
each 'lsne," and that point over the
Banks of Newfoundland. The strongest
feature of the Professors paper is that
wherein he advocates the insertion of a
clause in marine insurance policies which
would require shipowners to adhere to the
fixed ''lsne." Next to governmental enact
ment and international treaty this would GER
tainly be the most powerful agency that could
be employed.

1t seems to be the resolution of those who
advise Mr.. Beecher in the present painful and
extraordinary affair that silence on his part Ii
the highest wisdom. Silence means that
every allegation made by Mr.. Tllton is false;
that the famous letter of contriion attributed
to MIR. Beecher is forgery or an effort OF the
imagination that no offence was committed
against Mr.. Titon which could not ba
forgiven, and which had not been forgiven.
Silence means also that the trem endous
and world-embracing influence of Mr..
Beecher's life and Christian work is so potent
and has made such an impression upon the
hearts of the people that no scandal, no accu-
sation, no misrepresentation can destroy it
any more than the feeble rays of the polar sun
can destroy the iceberg which sweeps out into
the seas Silence means an attitude of such
invincibility on Mr.. Beecher's part that all the
powers of earth and hell cannot overthrow it
With this view silence is wisdom; otherwise it
is crime not only against the Christian
world-which has o right to demand from the
friends of Mr. Beecher justification Of the
love and confidence with which they enfold
him-but against the life and character of the
illustrious and beloved clergyman himself.
Is there any possibility that this 81
lence may provoke Mr.. Beecher's exasperated
antagonist-who whatever his mistakes, has
shown consummate ability in his management
Of the controversy, who is COOL skilled, wary
antagonist, knowing how much of his battle to
fight at q time-into further averments. the
consequences of which cannot be foreseen?
IF such possibility exists silence may not
only be crime, but suicide.
No MORE Music IN THE PARKS. The Park
Commissioners propose within short time

ment of great city as depriving the pub
lie of an innocent source Of enjoyment during

de Chambord has issued o manifesto to the
French nation. II will be recognized
by our readers as sample Cham
bord manifesto, containing nothing new
and repeating what the Count has already
proclaimed a hundred times. MacMahon is
complimented az the present protector of
Trance, but if France wishes to do right and
to come out all right, she will recall Chambord
and empower him to administer the affairs OF
French Christian monarchy" So says the
Count de Chambord. We must wait, just like

VuIgarTtY of American Diamond wa.r.
ing.

New York Letter in Boston Saturday Gazette
Are we a nations of pawn brokers
or jewelers.? We must be one OF the
other, for wherefore the quantity
of diamonds that are worn by wo-
men and children? / have no fault
to find with the middle aged lady
who adorns herself with the family
jewels on full dress occasions, but
good taste is out ragged at the sight
of girl of fifteen wearing as many
diamonds as would ransom a king.
Not long ago l met a little child,
who could not have been over five
years, out walking with her nurse,
and from her ears hung immense
solitaire diamonds. 1t is an uncom-
mon thing to see schoolgirls from
the age of ten to eighteen wearing
diamonds on their finger and in their
ears. A young girl does not think
her toilet complete without diamond
earrings and at least diamond ring.
Then, as she gets richer, come HAIR
ornaments and crosses and lockets
made of the precious stones. Neck
laces of diamonds are rare in this
country, and are not often seen off
the stage. The Countess of Calth-
ness, who visited this country some
time ago, was the wonder and ad-
miration of all New York when she
appeared in her box at the opera
flashing in 58o0,eOO worth of dia-
rmonds., But then her diamonds
had been handed down from gen
Grafton to generation of every
rich ancestor, and were only sec
ond to those of royalty. In Euro
pean countries it is not until wo-
man has attained to years of maturi-
ty that she wears diamonds, and
even then not unless she is very rich.
In this country one is not to young to
wear them, and, 1 was going to say,
no one too poor, for l have often
seen women who live in small houses
up back streets, appear at cburh or
the opera glittering in diamonds.
A lady of my acquaintance, when
she gets up in the morning, puts on
a calico wrapper, but that does not
prevent arraying herself in diamond
earrings, breastpin and finger rings,
with which adornment she performs
her household tasks.
