BISHOP IRELAND,s GREAT WORK,


A valuable man to the Irish race in
America, is the young Bishop of st. Paul.
He hNs in his big heart their real interests
He has the courage to give them good advice,
palatable or not, and spends his life and
influence in behalf OF their amelioration, 1t
was in boyhood days that the writer first
heard of the then young priest, of st. Paul.
Ground whose name the Irishmen Of Min,
nesota and Northern Iowa Cwined the
strong tendrils Of their hearts love. Then
he became Bishop, and the added dignity
but adds to the ytarning fer his peoples
welfare. He Is close student Of all that
pertains to our advancement "a an element
of American life. He does not wieh the
historian, hundred years hence to say
SO the Irish passed through this oountry.n
He would have the Irish take hold of the
soil. He wants the old Celtic stock to
strike its roots firm and deep into the gem
erous Land of the West. He hns already
peopled two whole counties, Swift and De-
graf, in Minnesota, with his kinsmen, and
he is, we believe, perfecting more thor
Ough system of relief for the overcro wded
people Of our great Eastern cities. Com.
fort, Temperance, and good hope, mark
the condition Of those who have already

those who come to make their homes und er
this good Prelate's auspices.
One should have q cold heart did he not
wish and pray every blessing on the efforts
of Bishop Ireland to put our people in the
way of having free homes, as freeman
should. Other fields Of efforts may be open,
But the only field being worked is that
under Bishop Ireland's directing Genius.
Its unparalleled success will be an incen
tive to other men of power with our people.
to lead their steps from want and demora-
lizatiOn to comfort AID honor. In itself.
and in its probable effects upon the general
fortunes of our race in America, the colon
iEatiOn plan of Bishop Ireland deserves at
tentiOn, support and praise. It was orr
pleasure to have had lengthy conyerse-
ton with the Bishop, on the train from
New York to Philadelphia, previous 60 the
late Convention, and TO learn with wonder
of the most gratifying position our coun-
tTymen have already won in the new colony.

PRESENT CONDITION OF THE SUEz CANAL.
NJ. de Lesseps, on his return to Paris, after
a five months visit to Suez, communicated
to the Academic des Sciences the details
of his observations upon the present state
of the isthnian canal. Port Said he found
to bein no danger at all of being filed mp
with sand. The dredging machines suffice
to keep the channel clear. Moreover, it
does not fill up 30 rapidly as has been sup
posed for the work done last year still
remains, and two very large ships have re-
Gently navagated the canal without difficult
ty--one of them drawing over twenty feet
of water. In winter the current Of the
canal, sets in towards the mediterranean,
owing to the excess of water in the Bitter
Lakes in summer the current is in the OPP
posite direction. Since the construction of
the canal there are frequent showers on the
Red Sea, whereas, previously, rain was un-
known there-a very extraordinary thing
indeed, If it can be shown to be fact. This
rainfall, says NJ. de Lesseps, has started We
getstion even on the AsiRtic shore of the
Red Sea, where the in6ltration is only of
saltwater.

a GERMAN ON THE SERBIAN WAR.
(Pall Mall Gazette.)


The we'll known German military writer,
4err Julius Won Wickede, publishes some re-
harks in the Cologne Gdgette on the prospect
8 tho war between Turkey and Serbia. Such
erbia, Montenegro, and the Bosnian and Her
9govinjan insurgents on one side, and Turkey
the other, will probably be q hopeless one
both; it will last many years, and not pro-
Zee any decisive result. The military forces
the disposal of Turkey for this struggle
mounting to from lao, 600 to 100000 men-are
saout equal in numbers and efficiency to those
e perv1a and her allies. By far the greater
nd undisciplined troops, and this is even more
he case with its adversaries. In both camps
here is o great want of well-eduoated and ex-
4erienced native officers Serbian brigades, as
gas to be expected, are now led by Russians
pd in the Turkish service there are a good
any Englishmen, Poles and Hungariana.9 AS
= the physique of the two armies, the Serbiana,
osnians and Montenegrins are mostly hi0
ronR men, with extraordinary powers Of en-
nrance and reckless courage; but the same
eilitary qualities are possessed by the Alba
ians, the Mahometau Bosnians and the Circas-
ans, and many other Asatio populations
4hich are represented in the Turkish army.
he men recruited in European Turkey are
pmetimes small, but they are stronger and
bore enduring than they look. As to the cruel
es which have beenoharged sgainst the Turks,
err Won Wickede asserts, from personal ex-
erience, that the only difference between them
ID the Serbian and Montenegrins in this re-
pect Is that the former have Q fanRtical
atred for all who do not believe in the Pro
'het, while the latter have the same feeling
towards those who do net belong to the Greek
fhuroh. he says that the stories which have
cen published in Slavonio papers about the
trocities committed by Bashi-bazouks may be
Eue' though doubtless good deal exaggerat-
q, but that exactly the same savage cruelty

After while the prisoner leaned over
and whispered to the officer: won't,
you do me one little kindness ?" The Of
fcer promised to do SO with one of tho
kindest smiles we have ever seen in

"Then sit leetle further of. I'd rather

SUPERsTITIoN.-With the old-time
festivities and customs linger the old
time superstitions. These affect social
and business life. Men believe in ghosts,
in haunted houses and unlucky days as
devoutly as they do in the Bible. Strange
enough Saturday is the unlucky day of
old New Workers. l saw to-day very
intelligent lady who refused to sign a
lease because the occupa ncy was to COM
mence on Saturday. Saturday has al
ways been the bane of our family" she
pied for months from the reputation of
being haunted. There is one to-day that
stands in very eligible neighborhood
for the business to which it is devoted
Everything around it is snatched up
readily. This, with every improvement,
stands idle. Parties can be found brave
enough to take the house at low rent,
but they can get no custom. The Ma
thans house was one of the finest man
sions on Twenty-third street. Its loca
tion could not be surpassed. 1t was with
in one house Of Fifth avenue and direct
ly opposite the Fifth Avenue Hotel. 1t
was superbly furnished, and was offered
for song. One or two families were will
ing to take it, but no domestics would
live in the place. After standing idle two
or three years it was given over to trade.
But ladies would not cross the doomed
threshold. At last it was taken down,
stone by stone, and warehouse erected
on the foundations. Even this does not
seem to have silenced the voice of blood.
A very famous mansion has just been
sold under the hammer on Madison av-
enue. 1t has the reputation Of being
haunted. An old fellow with o black
pipe has for years put his head out Of the
upper windows occasionally, and has the
ability to curse everybody who lives un-
der the roof. The house has been search
ed from coal-bin to attic. No matter who
comes or who goes, the old fellow abides.
A strange fatality has so far attended ev-
cry occupant Of the house. At one time
it was the abode of fashion. The lady of
the mansion was the belle of New York,
and gave the most famous parties on the
island. Her entertainments were the
envy of New York, and the old Knck-
Ell bockers could not compare with her in
the magnifcence of her receptions. But
her star waned and domestic disaster set
tied down on her house. A wealthy
New Yorker has bought the place, and
renovate it as he will, it is believed that
the old man will, as of old, look out of
the window and do mischief Boston

A GKL's PICNIC.-The girls got up a
hen picnic last week and had a glorious
time of it altogether. They had lots of
tea and sugar and milk (Which all got
souri, but no matches, and plenty Of pick
les, ge-cake and butter, but no bread.
Add to this that each Of the girls got her
mother to let her bring roast turkey, so
as to astonish the rest OF the girls and
show that she can do things in style, and
that they had no knives and forks, and,
though lots Of plates, no drinking uten-
sils, it is not difficult to see that their
commissariat was well organized and a
source of much harmony, pleasure and
satisfaction to all concerned in its prepa-
ration. After several lifelong quarrels
and such comments as, don't care -
You're just as mean as dirt ~ Well,
it wasn't my fault, anyway !" they made
frugal repast of dismembered turkey,
cold water, pickles and sponge cake, and
then decided 10 amuse themselves rs best
they could for the remainder Of the day.
One girl undertook to fish, and, having
put on her gloves, introduced hook to
her worm, but the fierce animal gave a
squirm, and with a terrific yell she drop
ped the wild beast right down the back OF
a friend and young companion dear, who
was sitting beneath. The f. and y. C. d,
went into active Mysteries, and the author
of the tragedy impaled her thumb on the
fish hook, and tainted at the sight Of blood.
After this one Of the girls stepped into a
swamp about half way up TO her ears,
and another got beetle into her ear, and
a third unearthed borrid snake seven
inches long, and while devoted member
Of the excursion was STOPPING down TO
collect a specimen Of that rare and valu-
able plant, the sorrel, Mr.. Kehoes meri-

INHERIT LONGEVITY Everyone has
noticed that nearly all the members of
some families die aged, while others are
gone before what would be called the
middle age of the former. 1t is common
and correct remark that some are as old
at forty as others are at sixty the latter
will, in fact, be more likely to live twenty
years than the former. The years per-
son has lived is by no means the most
important element for judging how many
he may probably live, nor is present
health of much more consequence, since
it is often the case that families are very
vigorous and healthy while they live, yet
are not long lived. They inherit healthy
but short lives.
Notice the Laplanders. Observe the
citizens of Zurich, Switzerland, very
healthy, but seldom reaching the age Of
sixty while the members of one Italian
family living in their midst since the
sixteenth century, reached the age Of
eighty or ninety. The Welch are the
longest lived people in Europe. The
Scotch are longer lived than the English,
and the Irish shorter lived, yet they are
all healthy as a people.
On the other hand, some who do not
have robust health are noted to live long.
1t is said they attain old age because they
take such good care of themselves. Yet,
though it is not denied that the care is
useful, it will be usually found that they
had at least one long lived parent, and
thus inherited longevity from one side, if
not from both for, though it is often
the case that those die young who have
long lived ancestry, it is very seldom
that any person lives to be mere than a
year on two older than any of his ances
tors.

NAsBY writes to the Toledo Blade an
account of his troubles in attempting to
understand the letters of Messrs. Tilden
and Hendricks. He spent ten hours over
them and was unable to tell whether they
were for hard or soft money. A friend
telegraphed to both candidates asking
what kind of money Nasty should advo-
cate on the stump, and received the fol-
lowing replies " Hard money, NV course,
but soften it a good deal in the vest
Strike boldly, however, for Reform, and
agin the cor-upshen NV the Republican
party-Tilden." " Soft money, Nv course'
but harden it good deal in the east
Strike out boldly, however, for Reform
agin the Corrupshen Of the Republikin
party. Hendrix"
