gles to kill Insh sentiment, Irish nation
atty, to gradually weed-out the ..mere
Irish" the lean rebels, and have only
tat slaves in Ireland willing to work tor
Englands prosperity and greatness.
Here is the sum total Of tue Irish ques-
ton at the present day.
Ireland for England, say the English !;
ireland for the Irish, Say the Irish, and
on these they join issue. Who have the
deciding of the question? Under God,
the 1rlsh-Americars here. Let them be
true to their race, to its genius, to the
great example it has given, to the cause
tor which successive generations of that
race have died on th field and on the
glbbet. true to the position their race is
last acquiring in this its adopted country,
true to the means by which they can ad-
vance that position to one of invincible
power, and within halt a century the
Irish race in America, will be able to
crush out English power in Ireland with
as much ease as we crush an egg-shell
in our hand.
Then the miracle of the preservation
OF the Irish as distinct race; their pas
sage through the Red sea, Of English
persecution, will approach its solution,
it not before.

Detecting A Murderer by Means

The London papers publish the details
OF remarkable murder. the perpetrator
Of which has been detected in q most
singular manner. The victim was n lit.
tie girl aged only seven years and the
suspected murderer was barber named
Fish. The trunk Of the body Of the
victim was found in an open field; and
the discovery Of the skull was made i'm a
most extraordinary manner. The OH.
GERS secured the services Of the owners
of two bloodhounds and set out with the
dogs and their owner to the place where
the trunk OF the body was found, TO see
II any scent Of the remaining portion OF
the body could be found. The dogs did
not appear to scent anything. They
were taken to where the legs OF the child
were found, but without any result
They returned and it was then decided
to have the dogs taken to Fish's shop and
the shop Of n barber named Whitehead.
who also had been suspected. The de.
tcctives entered the premises Of the two
BARRIERS simultaneously, and one Of them
remained at Fish's shop while the other
establishment was examined. From the
movements Of the dog the police had no
reason to suppose that anything was con.
ceaIed thcIe. and the dogs proceeded TO
Fisis premises, in which there are two
rooms below and two above. The blood.
hound Immediately OH entering the house
began to sniff all around, and evidently
scented something. Then the officers
and dogs went up stairs. and the blood.
hounds ut once scented up the chimney
Of tue front room. and the owner Of the
dog put his hand up the chimney and
pulled down from the recess Of the
draught.hold the skull and some other
portions of child wrapped in a paper
covered with blood. From a medical
examination it was evident that the head
had recently been burned. and but two
teeth were remaining in the lower jaw.
The prisoner was fairly overwhelmed and
confessed that he committed the murder
and. without being aided by any one.
mutilated the body and dispersed the
remains.
