Doubtless the wish is father ts the
thought with those who imagi ne, or pretend
to imagine, that Mr.. Parnell will alter his
attitude towards the House; but how
slight is the foundation for any euch ex
| pectstion may be seen from the fact that
the very night he made the explanation re
| ferred to, he, Mr. Biggar, and two or three
other Irish mem bsrs stood firmly by their
resolution to have no legislation after mid
night, and to have Irish business fully dis
| cussed. For the 6rst mentioned purpose
several divisions were taken on one or two
| purely English bills, with the result that
the further progress of those bills was
stopped, and, in carrying out the second
object, several divisions were taken on the
j udicature Bill in committee.
| One of these latter divisions was pre-
ceded by q very significant discussion.
Major O'Gormon found an opportunity to
| tell the House that person who is now on
the Irish bench had melted to assaseiua-
| ton. repeating, in proof, the well known
words, "The time is coming, when the
days will be short aud the nights long"
A mighty storm was raised by the remarks
of the gallant member for Waterford, but
Mr.. Courtney, an English member quelled
it by acutely observing that "the pain with
which the House had listened to the serious
charges made by Major O'Gormon was due
to the feeling that there was q certain
amount of truth in tbem.'' After this the
Major appeared to have it all his own way.
RESTORATION OF IRISH MONUMENTS.
From the Irish Times
From the forty fifth report of the Com
m issioners of Public Works in Ireland, we
find that the restoration of Irish monI-
ments is being prosecuted with great yigor
and success. Ardmore Cathedral and round
tower the crosses and round tower at
Monasterboce !; Albert Cathe dral, and two
churches, with the numerous ancient mon
n m nj a the X 1ck of Ca6bel. have AL
ready BEEN placed in state OF complete
repair. The London Globe, ln commenting
on the report, remarks that Devenlsh
| Church and round tower, with many other
| interesting structures in the neigh b"Ihooo
| of GleudalouEt, are IL fair way To being
repaired. Had this restoration not been
! taken IN habd with energy, this country
| might have lost some of her most interest
| ing remains. To take an Instance given
| by our London contemporary, the queer
li:tie oratory at Glendsiough, usually call
| ed "The Priests Honse," attracted the at
tention of the antiquarian Berenger in
l779. On commencing the work of resto-
ration, Mr.. Deane found the building terri
bly, dilap:dated, but after very hard labor
he manaRed to pct it in the same condition
es in 1879. The carved tympanum, which
had been carried away bodily by sacrile-
gious hands, is now in its original position
and all the etone work has been strongly
secured with concrete.
