In the good old times we are told
that buffet from the hand of an Edin-
burgh or Quarterly Reuie,oer would
lay young author dead at his feet. II
it was so, he must have been naturally
very deficient in vitality. It certainly
did not kill Byron, though it was
knock-down blow; he rose from that
combat with earth, like Antseus, all the
stronger for it. The story of his hav-
ing killed Keats, though embalmed in
verse, is apocryphal; and if such blows
were not fatal in those times, still less
so are they nowadays. On the other
hand, if authors are difficult to slay, it
is infinitely harder work to give them
life by what the doctors call artificial
respiration" putting. The amount of
breath expended in the days of 4the

is, from favoritism, and apart from

to obtain immortality for the writer's in
whom there was really something Of
genius, but whom they extolled beyond

ample, was Samuel Rogers. And who

The Irish Language.

In paper recently read before the
Statistical Society, MIR. Ravenstein
states that the Celtic portion of the
population of the British isles makes a
total Of nearly 100000 souls, of whom
nearly one-half are Welsh. Further,
we are told that in 1851 there were few
Irish counties in which the old language
had altogether died out; the localities
in which Irish was then spoken makes
a total area Of nearly 10000 square
miles, with population not far under
100000, of whom 69.3 per cent. spoke
Irish, while in 1871 the Irish area had
sunk below 5000 square miles, with a
population under 100000, Of whom
about 63 per cent, or considerably less
than 100000, spoke Irish only, Lastly,
it appears that probably not 5000 per
sons throughout Ireland were then able
to read an Irish book, and not a single
Irish newspaper. was being published
This contrasts strongly with the Welsh,
who print over thirty newspapers and
periodicals of various kinds, while the
Welsh in America have several flour
ishing newspapers and hold eisteddfods
without number in the country of thei1
adoption. We have no statistics of the
Celtic element in North America
though it is well known to be consider
able, but, SO far as concerns the Irish
portion Of it, there would be no great
error in supposing that the Irish Ian
guage loses ground among the emf
| grants much faster than among those
left behind in Ireland.

Speech.
The Republican speakers and Republican
press are Growing Justify about what they call
the resumption OF specie payments. Behold,
say they, we are on the eve Of prosperity; re-
sumption brought this about, and we brought
about resumption; ergo, you should all sup
port the Republican party. My friends, it re-
quires no great powers of analysis to explode
this sophistry.
In the first place, have we specie payments?
Do any of our debtors pay us in specie unless
the debt be IS or less? Do the banks
pay their creditors in specie? Try
and see if they do. Collect as many bank
bills as you can and assert them. Out Of
s1O,O 600 you will have probably not over $500
on the national banks Of Columbus. The re-
maiuing $3.50 are of banks scattered all over
the republic. To present them at the banks
that issued them would require you to travel
thousands of miles and incur hundreds Of
dollars of expense. To present them at the
Treasury Department at Washington would
cost less, butyet would be onerous and expen-
sive So you abandon the idea Of doing either.

1t is really amusing 10 read the
radical journals throughout the
country, aud see the ludicrus at
titudes taken 10y them in regard tc
the recent elections in Maine. They
ask, "what shall it profit party il
il steal one State in 1879, and lose
a whole Union in lSS0!" And
from this we infer that the radicals
and tricksters of the Republican
party are making preparations for
a repetition of the steal of 1876,
and in 1850 they propose to steal
the Presidency again. They call
the Maine affair a high-handed
Democratic outrage, recommend
revolutionary measures, and want
TO gain by the hayonet what they
failed to accomplish by the ballot.
Now. while We do not coun;enance
the action in Maine, we think that
