NEW YORK, Nov. pa Herald
cablegram from Sligo says: After
watching these cases for five days,
and talking to all the principal peo-
pie concerned in Them, 1 have come
to the conclusion that however ill
advised the arrests may have been
on the score of the doubtful success
of the prosecution with Irish judges,
the effect has been magical on the
leading agitators, who now revile
the Government for unconstitu-
tional measures, while their own
sentiments and speeches have been
utterly destitute of moderation or
good Judgment. The prosecution,
as conducted by the officers of the
Crown, has been remarkably in.
dulgent; at the same time it has
been firm. 1t is said that Parnell
and one or two other prominent
leaders have grown somewhat jeal-
Gus of the prominence into which
three comparatively obscure agi-
tators have suddenly sprung. Two
of the latter are now prominently
mentioned for Parliament. John
Rea, the Belfast attorney, is the
Count Joannes of Ireland, and is
one of the most curious characters
in the country. He is pugnacious
and obstructive to degree. With
this he is audaciously witty. His
sallies keep the audience in roars of
laughter. He has been arrested for
contempt of Court and elected
from Belfast Court-rooms at least
twenty times, and the more he has
been elected the more violent has
been his tone when again admitted.
1t is reliably stated that one Mayor
and two Judges in Belfast have

In consequence of the exuberance

ceedings, apostrophized t'seSpeak'

Mr.. Biggar, M. P, who, T. mixing
that obstruction had succe ded &c

struck with the idea that Res
would do more to turn the pro
ceedings into a farce than any mar
in the country, whereupon III
retained the services Of that eccen
trio gentleman and sent him tt
Sligo. When Mr.. Parnell heard o
it, he used his influence with Da
Witt and DAILY and persuaded then
to decline Rea's services. Killen
out of Difference to the wishes o
his friend Biggar, allowed Rea t.
undertake his defense. The conse

BEN BUTLER AND DAMNATIoN.
MIR. Benjamin Butler was in bis
youth destined by his mother to
be. a Baptist minister, and she
sent him to Waterville college for
preparation, Mr.. Bland, a new
biographer, relates that one of the
professors delivered sermon in
the chapel, in which he said: "l.
None but the elect can be saved.
2. Of so-called Christians, proba-
bly, not more than one in a hum
dred will be saved. 8. Heathen
people will have more considera-
ton of the Almighty in future life
than men of Christian nations,
who hear but do not profit by the
word of God" After hearing
this sermon young Butler petit
toned the faculty to relieve him
from further attendance upon
preaching upou the ground that
according to the proportion stated,
not above six persons in the col.
lege could possibly be saved and.
as there were nine worthy pro-
fessors, all of them doctors ofdi-
vinity, it would be presumptious
for him, a poor student, to hope
for even the >remotest chance OF
salvation ; hence in attending
church, he was only making his
damnation more certain and terri

GOOD HajMOEs IN THE FAM.
ALY.

Goo1 hamor is rightly rcckoned
a most valuable aid 20 happy homo
life. An equally good and useful
faculty. is st sense of humor or the
capacity t" have a little fnr along
with the humdrum cares and
work Of Lie, We all know how
1T brIgh'rns up things generally
t"have lively, witty companion
who secs Tue ridiculous points Of
things and who can turn an annoy
ance into IN occasion for laughter.
1t does - great deal better to
laugh over some domestic mishaps
than to cry or scoId over them.
Many homes and lives are duh
because they are allowed to be-
come too deeply impressed with a
sense OF the cares and responsi.
biEties Of life to recognize it's
bright and especially it's mirthful
side. Into such a household, good
but dull, the advent Of a witty,
humorous friend is like sunshine
on 3 cloudy day.
While it is always oppressive to
hear persons constantly striving
to say witty or funny things, it is
comfortable, seeing what a bright
ener a little fun is, to make an
effort to have some at home. It
is we'll to turn off an impatient
question sometimes, and to regard
it from a humorous point of view,
instead ofbecoming irritated about
it. "Wite, what is the reason I
can never find a clean shirt?" ex-
claimed a good but rather impa-
tient husband, after rummaging
all through the wrong drawer.
His wife looked at him steadily
for a moment, half inclined to be
| provoked; then with a comieal
look she said: 81 never could guess
conundrums; l give it up" Then
he laughed, and they both laughed,
| and she went and got his shirt,
! and he felt ashamed of himself and
kissed her; and then she felt
happy, and so what might have
| been an occasion for hard words
and unkind feelings became just
the contrary, all through the little
vein Of humor that cropped out to
the surface.
Some people have a peculiar
| faculty for giving a humorous turn
10 things when they are reproved.
1t does just as we'll oftentimes to
laugh things off as to scold them
| off. Laughter is better than tears.
Let US have little more Of it at
home.-Saturday Evening Post.

No woman need be very tired or
very busy, for we find ready made
garments at such re sonable figures
that persons of the most moderate
means can afford to purchase. Linen
snits are of course thing of the past,
but in their place for general wear we
find neat wash costumes made half
tight jacket, oyerskirt and underskirt
marked as low as six or seven dollars,
The patterns are in great variety
checks, plaids, stripes, polka dots, and
small floral figures. Colors are equal
ly diversified; both grave and gay,
and groundwork dark as we'll as light.
At higher prices costumes are Of satino

thing Of figured jaconets for indoor
wear, while in white, costumes are in
all gradations, from the lawn morning
dress at S., to elaborate dotted, plain
and figured muslins finished with Bre-
ton lace and bows of ribbon. Soft,
thin wool costumes commence at about
sl4. listers in thin mixed wool are
excellent fer hard usage consequent
upon summer travelling, etc., and these
commence at S6, very nice one cost
ing $40. Mohair ulsters begin at
$3.50; linen ulsters at So. Never
theless there are many ladies who wish
to make their dresses at home or have
them made, so will add word or
two in regard to new and desirable de-
signs. The Deosia princess dress may
be mentioned among these as quite
elegant and having the advantage Of
being adapted both to silk, wool and
wash material. Trimmed skirts are
very fashionable and here We find the
Florimel train, especially suited to
handsome fabrics. The Nelida bas-
quine or Valerie basque would give a
distinguished finish. The Bireua is
an excellent model for an overskirt Of
wash material, while in the way of a
half fitting jacket, the Serena can be
recommended.

good friends if you are determined to

you'll always think you might have
done so. Do not understand me as
decrying the Louisiana State Lottery
in particular, for beyond question its
dealings are fair, and if you must take
a risk, you certainly run less risk in
that than in any other institution Of

In person or by agents she often visits

MILLINERY.

Dainty dress bonnets are sometimes
made of white or colored canton Grape,
trimmed with fine flowers and Breton
lace, ribbon or satin. Satin or satin
ribbon indeed, We see employed per-
petually. There is rage for it and
in dressy costumes it is constantly SUBJ
stituted for silk. Fine black straWs
are also trimmed with black or white
Breton lace, and flowers, and black
lace bonnets similarly finished are
made on frames. Mixed straws in
colors to match the fashionable mixed
goods are greatly in vogue, but not to
the exclusion of brown or beige color
ed. Middle aged ladies for ordinary
wear, select the English walking hat,
or if it is desired to show the forehead,
shapes faring to one side, or prettlly
curving around the face and without
strings may be substituted. Young
ladies wear turbans, shapes fancifally
caught on the sides, or round brims
coming low over the forehead and
rising at the back where rich boQuets
of flowers Eli in the vacancy.
OUT DOOR GARMENTS.
There is quite rage for beige and
the pale yellow shades-especially the
former. The fancy crops out every
where in Millinery costumes, and in
out door garments, for there is run
on beige co!ored cloth sacques and
mantalets commencing at about six
dollars and going up to twenty. They
are worn with costumes OF any kind.
These ideas, however, do not preclude
the sale of black silk and cashmere
garments more OF less richly trimmed
with French or black Breton lace

enormous prices for these latter styles,

There's Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria,
With Obadiah,
And Jedekiah,
In our choir,
And Jane Sophia soprano sings
SO high yoa'd think her voice had wings
To soar above all earthly things,
When she leads off on Sunday;
While Ann Maria's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice
That sinners in the church rejoice,
And wish she'd sing till Monlay.
And Obadiah's 5 tenor, high,
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky;
Just hear him sing "Sweet By-and-Bye," "
And you will sit and wonder.
While Jedekiah's bass profound
Goes down so low it jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant-rolling thunder.
Talk not to US of PATHS fame,
Of Nicolihi's tenor tame,
Of Cary's alto-but name
Or Whitney, S: bonderouS baSso!
They sing no more like Jane Sophia
Aud Ann Maria, Obadiah
And Jedekiah, in our choir,
Than cats sing like Tomaso!
