The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1877-02-24

There was another spirited debate IN the
commons on the 10th on the Eastern question.
Gladstone quoted from dispatch of Lord
Derby to Sir Henry Elliott, in September
last, saying that the Turkish atrocities IN
Bulgaria had so alienaled English sympathy
from Turkey, that in the event of Russian
attack England could not help her, and he
commended that this placed England in the
humlliating position of allowing her sympa
thies to oppose her treaty obligations. Cat
horne Hardy, In reply, denied that the gov
ernment intended to evade lis treaty obliga
tons, though there was as yet no need to
draw the sword for or against Turkey. Sir
Stafford Northcote demanded that Gladstone
should define his opposition by motion, but
he refused to reveal his plans, and the debate
was adjourned for week. Asimiliar debate
took place in the house of Lords on the Goth
Destructive gales on the English coast pre-
vailed again on the 10Th. The area of the
storm was exceptionally extensive. 1t embrac-
ed the greater part Of the British islands, and
the whole of northern and central France
The violence of the storm was extraordinary.
The force of the gale has been only eQualed
during recent years by that of the one few
weeks ago. Over 80 vessels are known TO
have been lost.
The rinderpest has made its appearance at
Hull and at Bow and Stepney. 1t cannot be
traced to contact with any infected cattle.
Ireland.
The prospective arrival of the body of John
O'Mahony, the Fenian chieftain, has excited
the greatest interest among all Irish national
lists. A series of imposing demonstrations
WILL II Is expected, take place. Thousands OF
Irishmen, not sympathizing with Fenianism,
will join in professions at Cork and Dublin
to manifest their hostility to the present sys
TEN OF British rule In illustration 1t is stat
ed that the home rulers will march with the
advanced nationalists, or, as they are calledt
Fenlans. Cardinal Paul Cullen has been
solicited to permit O'Mahoney's body to lie
in state in the Catholic cathedral at Dublin.
Should he refuse, the body will be taken at
once to Tuam, where Archbishop Machale
will give il all the honor the Irish people can
desire.

THE HOME CONCERT.
BY MARY ID. BRINE.

Well, Tom, my boy, must say goodbye.
I've had a wonderful visit here;
Enjoyed it, too, as we'll as L could
Away from all that my heart holds dear.
Maybe I've been triHe rough
little awkward, your wife would say
And very likely I've missed the hint
OF your city polish day by day.
But somehow, Tom, though the same old roof
Sheltered us both when we wore boys,
And tho same dear mother-love watched us both,
Sharing our childish griefs and joys,
Yet you are almost n stranger now;
Your ways and mine are rs far apart
AS though we had never thrown An arm
About each other with loving heart.
Your city home is palace, Tom;
Your wife and children are fair to sce
You couldn't breathe IN the little cot,
The little home, that belongs to me.
And am st in your grand large house,
And dazcd with the wealth OH every side,
And hardly know my brother, Tom,
In the midst Of 50 much stately pride
Yos, the concert was grand last night,
The singing splendid; but, do you know,
My heart kept longing, the evening through,
For another concert, so sweet anu low
That maybe it wouldn't please the car
OF one so cultured and grand rs you;
But to its muic--laugh if you will
My heart and thoughts must ever be true.
| shut my eyes il the hall last night
(For the clash of the music wearicd me
And close to my heart this vision came
The same sweet picture | always see:
In the vineclad porch of II cottage home
Hall in shadow and half in sun,
a mother chanting her lullaby,
Rocking to rest her little one.
And soft aud sweet as the music fell
From the mothers lips, | heard the coo
OF my baby girl rs with drowsy tongue
She echoed the song with 5000 GOO
Together they sang, the mother and babe,
My wife and child, by the cottage door,
All ! M0t is the coaccrt, brother Tom,
My ears arc aching to hear once more.
SO now goodbye. And wish you well,
And many year of wealth and gain.
You were born to he rich and gay;
am content to he poor and plain.
And 60 back to my country home
With love that absence has strengthened
Back to the concert all my own
Mothers singing aud baby's COO.

From the Black Hills Daily Pioneer we

that Mr.. John Langrishe has not yet left the
stage:
The Langrshe theatre was filled last

ness the rendition of one of Boucicaults'
best known comedies, "The Man of the

out like & "box on walk, which is say
ing considerable for ell engaged in its pre-
sentation. But the atterpiece, Convenient
Distance was immense. Mrs. Langrishe,

adequate description in a newspaper notice.

Escape From a Serious Gre.

Monday evening at about half past seven
O'Clock the city was startled with the cry
of fire and ivid glare gave premonitions
of serious conflagraton. The flames were
seen issuing from small frame stable be-
longing to Mr.. H. Cordcs in the rear of his
restaurant and saloon on I'd street, LIST ward.
The building was situated SO that il ex-
posed large amount ofproperty. BY the
prompt arrival, however, of both steamers
and steady stream of water thrown On
the flames the fire was sooD suppressed and
the loss confined to the building where tn e
fire originated. The stable was almost
totally destroyed and horse belonging TO
Mr.. Cordes burned to death: A COW in the
stable when the fire broke out was rescued.
The property was uninsured. There is a
great feeling OF relief over the small. extent
of the fire compared with what might have
been but for the promptness and efficiency
of our fire department. There is some idea
that the fire was caused by an incendiary
but of course nothing positive is known
on this point.

d une Au.

At the meeting of the County Board on
Thursday afternoon last, the special order
of which was the consideration of the ques-
ton of erecting new county buildings. Sat
Clark introduced resolution to levy tax
OF $4,000 this year, the amount so raised to
be placed to the disposition Of the new
board to be elected in April for building
purposes Mr. Clark argued that such an
amount would be more than necessary for
The purpose, but that, at any rate, the new
board, elected on that special Issue, mig BIT
use it or not as it saw TT, or appropriate
more. After short discussion the reso-
luton was adopted by Il vote of 10 to H.
1t will be seen that the adoption of this
resolution would leave the question of the
county seat open and was really move in
favor of Beaver DEM Several members Of
the Board, when this was clearly under
stood, who had voted for the resolution, de-
clared it as their intention to move re-
consideration OF The matter, and this was
accordingly done az the evening meeting
when the resolution of Alr. Clark was in
definitely postponed by a vote Of 20 to / s.
and another resolution adopted by the same
vote authorizing the committee on public
buildings to advertise for proposals for err
Getting building according to the plans
and specifications o. Mr.. Dornfeldt. This
plan comprises a building 55x66, containing
offices fol Treasurer, Clerk, Register and
Judge Of Probate one story high with
basement, the whole entirely fire proof
The estimated cost is $4,000 and this
amount was appropriated. $4,000 to be
levied this year, and the balance next year.
The contract will be the lowest responsible
bidder, the work to be commenced imme-
diately in The spring, and the building to
be erected on the same spot W here the old
building stood. This will finally settle the
County seat question, and it is not
probable that any attempt OF legislation
Will be made on the question next winter.
John W. Perry has been reelected resi-
dent Superintendent o: the Poor, with
James Collins of Clyman, and David Met
calf, of Fox Lake, as new resident Superin-
tendents DR.. G. +. Reynolds, of Oak
Grove, has been elected County Physician
at salary of 800, including medicines, to
the general regret ofall the friends of DR..
Hallock, who has proved himself careful
and attentive physician, and has held the
office for several years. Itisuot likely that a
physician living at distance Of 4 miles
from the Poor House car give such attention
as is needed to the many sick and decrepit
ones at hat place.
