INTERFERENCE IN IRELIND,

The Dublin correspondent of the New
York Times writes as follows concerning
the increase of tippling in the Green
Isle "The social question of the hour
is the tremendous increase in the drink
ing habits Of the people. The magis-
trates have told the select committee of
the House of Commons that they have
tried all remedies fine and imprison-
ment- found them useless. The
whole day is employed in disposing of
the cases of drunkenness, or the cases
arising out Of drunkenness. The latest
remedy is called by the name of "Sun-
day closing "a scheme for closing the
public houses on Sundays. On this prop
osition the fight is fast and furious be-
tween the temperance men and the en-
ployers on the one side of the bush, and
Government have decided to close the
houses in Ireland, save in Dublin, Cork,
Waterford, Belfast and Limerick-the
capital and big towns. There are
petitions to Parliament on both sides
scores of thousands praying for prohibi-
ton, and scores of thousands praying for
what they call freedom. Employers state
that their men do not work on Mondays
because they have the whisky-fever of
Sunday, and in this way business is re-
tarded, and the homes of the poor i'm
poverished. In the mean time the brew
ers and distillers are coming money.
Their annual revenue is enormous. The
other day Sir Arthur Guinness, Baronet,
NJ. F., retired from brewing firm
famous for his double X porter. His
brother paid him e1 600, 900 for his share.
tt is said that the firm pays income tax
on $3.50, 600 year. Mr.. Henry Roe, a
whisky maker, has spent $400, 900 on re-
storing Christ Church cathedral, in the
hope Otis said by teetotalers) of getting
a Baronetcy, just as Guinness got his for
restoring ST. Patrick's. Sir James Power,
Baronet, makes 5000, 600 a year in his
distiliery. Mr.. Darcy makes half that
sum by porter Mr.. John Jameson,
who entertained the American rifle men
when they were here, is said to be a mill
inoaire, and, coming from these tritons tc
the minnows who keep the public houses
we find these latter in great form, as
sporting men say, driving carriages anC
riding horses, and, TO a certain extent
dominating society in Dublin.

not dismember Turkey and help them

WHIST IND DIPLOAICT.

Speaking of protocols and treaties,
Mr. Labouchere tells this story :
"Years ago I was in America, and went
down with the English Minister in the
United States to small inn in Virginia,
where we were to meet Mr.. Marcy, the
then United States Secretary of State,
and a reciprocity treaty between Canada
and the United States was to be quietly
discussed. Mr.. Marcy, the most genial
Of men, was as cross as a bear He
would agree to nothing. What on

said to a secretary who accompanied
him. He does not have his rubber of
whist, answered the secretary. After
this every night the Minister and I
played at whist with Mr.. Marcy and his
secretary, and every night we lost. The
stakes were very trifiing, but Mr.. Marcy
felt fiattered by beating the Britishers at
what he called their own game His
good humor returned, and every morning
when the details of the treaty were being
discussed we had our revenge, ano

Angeles will raise an unusually large

Monterey bay the crops are in good con-
dition, but further south, though better

The dime novel has been producing
its legitimate effect In New York, by so
depicting the beauties of metropolitan
life as to tempt a young lad OF 10 years
to leave his comfortable home in Albany
to seek his fortune in the great city. For
four years he remained away, enjoying the
luxurious life of tcotblack and news

he fell heir to considerable property,
which led to-his being hunted up.

Half the people OF the world are idle
for want of some overseeing eye to set
them to work. The advice which Hay
don gave to the erratic poet Keats, to
settle down to some definite purpose,
needs to be given to almost one-half of
mankind. There are very few persons
but would find themselves comfortably
well off if they would take hold of any
one of a hundred pursuits and stick to
it. Industry and economy will make a
most wonderful change in many house
holds. So says one of our exchanges,
and we believe it is the truth.

A German named Fred Weisenberg,
while proceeding along Market street,
near Nineteenth, was intercepted by two
rough-looking customers, who asked him
for his valuables. He placidly babe
them to go to Jericho, and made vigor
GUS lunge for the throat of the spokes-
man, at the same time shouting ''Po-
lice p The highwaymen quaked at the
sonorous cry, and, turning on their heels,
darted off at lively pace. Weisenberg
started after one of them, and was
gaining on him, when the fellow turned
and discharged a shot at his pursuer.
The stolid German, undismayed by the
flash and the warning whistle of the bull
let past his ear, sped on and followed
the fugitive into dark street, where the
latter hoped nimbly over a fence. To
"follow the leader" in this last instance
proved to be the most distressing expe
rience of the evening for the corpulent
German; but, after much exertion and
considerable pulling, he clambered to
the top and fell over with a thud upon
the PROSTATE body of the robber, who
was crouched under the shadow of the
fence, completely exhausted, with Der
ringer clutched in his fist The German
took the pistol away, and, lifting his cor
pulent form up, allowed himself to drop
on the frightened man three or four
times. until he begged for mercy. The
captor then forced him to rescale the
fence, and marched him to prison, where
he was charged with assault with intent
to murder and attempt to rob. In his
pockets were found a number of bur-
glars tools-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.

General LEE, and no other gentleman was
more familiar with the action Of the General,

says about facts may be set down as authori-

orders were sent forth. His book is. an I'M

the drowning OF Miss Milburn and two chill
dren OF Mr.. Houser, at Mason's Island, near
Leesburg. The particulars, as since ga
thered, are as follows: The island was over
flowed and the inmates forced to leave their
house and take refuge in tree. While
they were in this perilouS situation crowd
OF men gathered on the river bank opposite
the island, but took 20 steps for their res
cue, until n negro man stepped forward
and said that he hardly expected to get back
alive, but that he could not stand still and
see the people drown. He was quickly
Joined by another negro man, and taking
off their coats and handing them to by
stander, they put out for the island. They
reached it safely and started back, having in
the boat with them Miss Milburn and the two
children, intending to return for BIZ. Houser,
his wife and the other child. When part
OF the way across their boat was swept
against tree and upset, drowning one OF
the men and one child. while Miss Milburn,
the other child, and the remaining man sue
ceeded in catching hold OF the tree. Ihey
remained there from 8 O'Clock Sunday after
noon until 8 O'Clock on Monday morning,
when the tree and its living burden were
swept away. A crowd remained on the
bank beside fire all night long, listening to
their cries, but were unable to rescue them.
Mr.. Houser, his wife, and the remaining
child STAYED in tree near the house all
night. and were saved. The names Of the
heroic colored men could not be ascertained,
but their conduct in facing death to succor
those in distress is worthy OF the greatest
admiration. alexandria Gazette.
