deputation, representing the Society
for the Protection of British Interests
and three other political societies,
presented memorial to Lord Derby
urging active interference in behalf
of Turkey. Lord Derby replied that
the government saw no reason to de-
part from it's neutrality. When the
government, he said, saw a reasonable
opportunity, it would do what it could
to bring about peace. The Euphrates
valley was not the true line to India.
and all anxiety about it was needless.
While the canal was open the English
government intended to maintain
neutrality, but he repeated the dec
laration that England would not allow
any nation but Turkey to occupy

A GREAT IRISH-AMERICAN ACTOR.

John Mccullough, the actor, tells a
writerR for the Baltimore Gazette that
he came from Ireland when he was a
boy, worked several years in Il Phila-
delphia chair factory, became init
mate with a stage-struck fellow-work-
man, Joined an amateur dramatic
association, and finally got an engage
ment for small parts in the Arch
Street Theatre. He holds to the
superior attractiveenss Of Shakes
perean plays, saying: II will venture
wager that if you compare the
receipts of Shakesperean performances
to-day with those of 20 years ago. you
will find the difference in favor of
1877. 1t is true that what are
called French society plays have, for
the moment. caught the popular
fancy; but that proves nothing except
that people love novelty. Nor do
believe ins borrowing any trouble
about who will take the places Of the
great actors of the day when the cur
tain has fallen on the last scene in the
drama of life. There are plenty of
young men now playing in modern
comedies, who have in them the max
ing of fine actors" OF newspaper
critics he remarks: lit is always

success of a good play or effectually

life to dead drama or ruin one that

THE MEMORY OF go.

To the Editor of the Tipperary Free Press:
SIR:-I have seen by an advertise
ment in your paper that it is proposed
to erect a monument in memory OF
our countrymen who fell in g IS
who so gallantly died resisting an OPP
pressive and cruel government.
TO some, even unto this day, 1t still
seems as almost treason to deTend
the conduct Of those Irishmen who,ln
days now happily passed, resisted
English misrule, but it appears to me
that those who condemn the action OF
those men do so in ignorance of the
cause that reduced them to appeal to
arms as their only hope. 1t IS, unfor-
tunately not the Fashion. ii one
may so use the word, to study the
history of Ireland it otherwise,
it is more than probable that these
very persons who now condemn the
strong spirit of resistance to English
rule formerly existing in Ireland,
would be loud in their expression OF
admiration at the sight OF an unpar-
alleled and determined opposition to
an all-poWerful and remorseless tyr
amy. Let any one study the history
Of Ireland, let him study the penal
laws, and having done so he must.
indeed, have curious mind IT It's
sympathy with the oppressed is not
eq.alled by it's condemnation OF the
oppressor, and the student Will admit
that by resistance the Irish were but
striving to obtain what all are deslr-
Gus of having--Liberty and Justice !;
and if Liberty was denied them. and
Justice not shown them, would the
Irish Of those most unhappy times
have deserved the name Of men. had
they tamely submitted to a govern
ment that endeavored to reduce them
to the veriest serfs? 1t is but right
the memory Of those brave country
men of ours should be revered and
perpetuated, and hope monument
worthy of the men Of 90 will be
erected in their honor.
Your Obedient servant.

this speaks well for the present and
future of the Irish cause. 1t that

the father of Alexander the Great, having
planted his hosts against that city, and
pushed the siege for time without effect,
It length conceived the plan of undermin.

might enter and take the place by sunrise.
The frst dark night he set about the work,
bis engineers having examined and decided
where the mining could be most easily and
saecenfully done, which was under a sec
ton of the wall on the west side Of the
city.
The work was fairly commenced, when
slddenly a riff in the thick clouds revealed
the bright face Of the new moon and this
rev moon, hus, as by miracle, uncur>
tained, revealed 10 the xatchman in the
towers the work of the enemy, and the
design of Philip was frustrated, and the
city saved. Believing that heavenly power
had given them the CLEANS of the crescent
moon for their deliverance, the Byzantines
in token Of grateful remembrance, adopted
the crescent as their national symbol. The

Our Government is slow IN learning
practical wisdom. When business is brisk
it carries on public works of no urgent ne
os.ity and outhids the private employer
for labor which he would be glad to pur-
chase. When buaines is dull, it makes it
still duller BY doing its best to swell the
number Of the unemployed. In state Of
society Wherein labor is 90 minutely sub
divided, and where the demand for the
products Of special industries is 60 auctua-
ting - It aow is in this and all other civil
li.sd countries, public employment should
Be made asla q possible sort of balance
wheel in the industrial system, eqaalizing
the demand for labor BY reducing the pub
lie demand 70 its minimum, and vice versa.
Such . system is rendered necessary BY
the fact that periods Of industrial prostra-
ton alternating with somewhat longer pe.
riods Of activity seem to be an established
result of the complex Industrial organiza-
ton Of the present age; and it is rendered
practicable by the fact that large part Of
the public demand for labor is for works
Of permanent character which may be
undertaken a few years earlier, or post
poned until a few years later without det-
riment to the interests Of the nation, State,
or city for which they are to be done.
