They are making great preparations
in Ireland for the funeral OF the late
John O'Mahony. tho great Fenian chief
tain. A telegram from Ireland Of the
18th inst. says: COMMITTEES have
sprung up as II by magic in every town
in Ireland. Along the line of the route
preparations for the reception ofthe body
are being pushed with the greatest pos
sible zeal. Addresses are being prepared
and there is hardly town in Ireland
which will not send delegation TO take
part in the funeral ceremonies; also in
all the great cities Of England and Scot
land. The Bishop Of Cloyne has con-
scented to celebrate requiem mass on the
arrival Of the remains, and yesterday at
Queenstown prayers were offered at mass
for the repose Of the soul of the deceased
Fenian. Considerable curiosity is mani.
tested as TO what action Cardinal Cullen
will take in the matter, as he has not yet
replied to . request to allow the remains
to lie in state in the Cathedralin Dublin.
The Steamship Company has placed q
tender at the disposal OF the Cork Re.
ception Committee, and the body will be
transferred to Queenstown. escorted by q
grand torchlight procession. 1t will
then be transmitted to Cork. when it will
be removed to Dublin for interment in
Glasnevin, except O'Mahoney's relatives
express q wish to have him buried In the
family church-yard at Kilbehenny.
Should Cardinal Callen refuse to allow
the body to lie in state in the Dublin
Church, it is expected it will be ct once
taken to Tuam. where Archbishop Mo-
Michael will give it all the honor the
Irish people can desire"

for those degenerate wretches who es-
TEEN wife-beating husbands privilege,
to stop that kind of work, and il they
want to beat any one. to go and tackle
one Of their own sex. Under Stewards
Interpretation of even-handed justice the
law will take its course with injury and
disgrace to no one save the cowardly
offender against the requirements Of
modern and Christian civilization. There
is no fine to be paid to the county OF the
expense Of the scanty larier and ward
robe of the wrstoh's unfortunate family,
and no good grounds upon which to let
guilty men escepe; for the wife-beater
is simply tied to post in the public
streets, properly placarded. in full gaze
Of the passing multitude, for from two
to ten hours, in the garish dsylight--the
jeer Of the rabble, the supreme contempt
Of all honest men and the just scorn Of
all womsn-kind. The law is good,
just and needed one. and should be en-.
forced in every instance, unmindiul Of
social station or personal wealth.
A bill has passed the Senate at Carson
removing certain disabilities faom Lewis
Cook, at ono time Treasurer OF White
Pine county. Cook used the county's
funds to the amount of thirty thousand
dollars and then very quietly took trip
to China. making good his escape before
his defalcation was discovered. Cook,
who is now in Japan, promises to refund
the money provided the law is not used
against him. Judging from the above,
Cook must have been very successful in
his business transactions among the
heathens.
