HERE AND THERE.

HERE AND THERE.
An ingenious Frenchman in the hide
pendence Beige has discovered that ''the
events of this lower world are governed
by the Calculus of Probabilities.
BosToN phlmes herself ON poor but
honest woman. About two weeks ago
she received from an insurance company
in that city q return dividend on a small
house owned by her. A few days later
she went to the Office and returned $50,
she having been overpaid that sum. The
President of the company made her a
present of 81, which she accepted, with
the remark that it would do her more
good than the $40. s. -
LIFE in Ireland is not altogether with
out excitement. A certain Protestant
landlord, fond of hunting, can never
leave his home without being "potted
at. The hunting days are Tuesday
and Thursday. A short time since he
went out for hunt on Tuesday, and on
his return had to dodge his head to es-
cape the bullets-so the story goes-that
were fired at him as he galloped home.
He arrived safely, and, ahghting from
his smoking horse, exclaimed, "Hurroo,
bhoys! l shall have another days hunt
ing on Thursday"
THERE is very remarkable move
ment going on in Ireland in favor of
closing the whisky shops on Sunday. A
petition from the city of Dublin has been
sent to Parliament, mile in length,
and bearing $4,000 names. Meetings
are frequently held to protest against
the exemption of large towns from the
operation of the proposed law A care
| full house-tO-house canvass of nineteen
towns has shown that in them 100000
persons voted for Sunday closing and
only IL 1881 against it. The bill is likely
to pass at this session of Parliament.
ONE of the notable trees in the Tuiler-
les Garden in Paris is an old horse
chestnut, called the chestnut of the goth
of March. 1t blossomed at that date in
1904, the day that the first Napoleon
caused the Duke d'Enghien to be shot,
and during his reign the Legitimists OF
the city paid a yearly pilgrimage to it
on the anniversary of the execution. The
tree blossomed again on the same day
in 1915, when Napoleon re-entered
Paris on his return from exile in Elba,
and afterward became an object of pill
grimage to Bonapartists during the
reigns of Louis XVIII, Charles ", and
Louis Philippe.
THE ex-Empress Eugene, when re
Gently about to visit her mother, the
Countess of Montijo, in Spain, asked

traordinary likeness to the son of Loui

Imperial, and so chronicled in the loca
papers. Accompanying complaints arr
always made regarding the laxity of tn
Government in allowing the young mai
