The IRISH LANGUAGE IN IRELAND
Early in the present century the Irish
language was spoken more or less in
every county througout Ireland. 1t is
estimated. that one-fourth of the gross
population, or about 100000 people,
spoke English exclusively, while prob
ably an equal or somewhat greater num-
Der knew Irish only. In the interve-
ming period down to the present time, a
great change has taken place, as is con-
clusively shown in the census of 1861
and 1871. In all Ireland, now only
about 162, ,400,or one in thirty-six of the
gross population, still know no other
torgue than Irish. When Charleton
first issued his TRAITS and Stories Of the
Irish Peasantry" his narrative contained
o large number of Irish words, which in
subsequent editions he found it necessary
to move, as they were no longer under
stood, and DR.. Hume tells us that even
in their modified form, there are hum
dreds, probably thousands, in Dublin who
can not enjoy Charleton's stories. The
existing dialect, which is more or less
prevalent over the thirty-two counties,
with, of course, LEGAL variations here and
there, is the result mainly of the sue
cessiye English and Scottish immigra-
tions.-Sqturday Reuiew.

Is THE POPE SUPERsTITIoUs?-Oae
morning Leo XIII, was about to eat
some raw eggs, as it was his wont every
morning, and requested Commander
Sterbini, the gentleman serving him, to
bring him some salt to eat with them.
Sterbini, presenting the salt on a solid
silver tray, accidentally let it slip
from his hands, and the salt fell but
only on the table. The Pope rose imme-
diately, carefully looked to see whether
any of the grains had reached the ground.
"Only see," he said, "the salt is upset,
and, had it fallen on the ground, l be-
lieve should not have got over it to-
day." He then took out a pocket book
and noted the fact, observing at the same
time, "that we shall see whether weshall
have some beloved cardinal to deplore
before long" Nine days after the sad
news of Cardinal Asquini's death reached
the Vatican, and the Pope, handing to
Sterbini his pocket book, requested him
to read aloud to those around the note he
had made nine days before. Then
breaking the silence, lie said: "Had
the salt been scattered on the floor in
stead of upon the table, as was the case,
verify believe should be standing now
before the Judgment Seat"

WHAT A MULE CAN Do.-This mule
looked like he was lSS years old, and
was dead standing upon his feet. He
was hitched to pine-bodied spring
wagon with high dashboard. The
"team" was standing on the leyee in mute
silence, while the old darkey who "drib"
it went aboard the wharf boat. A tramp
could make barrel of money selling
pictures Of that mule labeled Patience"
His long, flabby ears hung down each
side of his head like window awnings
with the rods out of them. His face
wore sober look, while out ofhis mouth
hung tongue eight inches long. His
tail swung down from the rear-end of his
hurricane roof like q wet rope, while his
whole body seemed as motionless as
death itself. Presently red-headed ur-
chin, with an old boot in his hand, walk
ed up in front of him, and, looking into
his face, saw that the mule was asleep.
He walked around, climbed up into the
wagon, leaned over the dashboard,
lifted that mules tail, and let it come
down in time to snatch q death-grip on
that bootleg. The mule woke up so
quick that he kicked the boy and the
dashboard twenty feet into the air. He
didn't stop there. He changed the posi-.
ton of his ears, hauled in his tongue
planted his fore-feet and his head be-
tween his knees, and from the fore shoul-
ders to the tip of his trunk was in lively
motion, and he didn't look like he was
more tkan two years old, the way he was
kicking that old wagon body into kind
ling wood with his heels. He had it all
to himself, and was doing finely, when
the old darkey rushed up the hill, got in
front of him, grappled him by
each ear, shouted, "Whoal tell you.
Wha's de matter wild you? Whoa up !"
and, looking around at the crowd, yelled,
"Will som oyer gemmen git dat ar boot
leg out vile l hold him kase de waggin's
mine, an I jes borrowed de mule" But
no one ventured, and when we left his
heels had almost reached the tail-gate, and
the old darkey was still yelling, "Whoap

WHIPPING PosT.--The whipping pest
is said to have worked well in Virginia.
Gases of petty larceny and the criminal
charges of the States have sensibly fallen
off since its adoption, and the Senate
stands by the lash by decided majority,
on motion to repeal the law sanction
ing its use. A colony of 900 negroes
working in a Fender County, N. g.,
quarry have voluntarily adopted the
whipping post to suppress thieying
among themselves. The jury of their
own choice finds the guilty out every
time, and the plan seems to be q success
in keeping things straight. Missouri
and several other States are now consid-
ering the advisability of employing the
same means to punish the petty thieves
and other scamps who fear no penalty as
much, and just now the tide seems to set
toward the whipping post as more etfec-
tive with petty criminals than confne-
ment or fines,

THE SECOND TUNNEL BENEATH THE
ALPs.-The great St. Gothard-after
passing through many vicissitudes, will
be ready for traffic some time next year.
1t has already been bored fora distance of
little more than seven and half miles,
which is seventy feet more than the
length of the Mont Gents. There re-
mained on January 5 only 1922 yards
to be cleared, and if the work progresses
rs rapidly as last year, when 2,772 yards
were bored, the two companies of work
men who started from the Italian and
Swiss ends would meet in January, 1880.
Geologists have calculated that there is
hard stratum of serpentine and schist
yet to pass, and if this proves true the
work cannot proceed so rapidly. But in
any event the workmen are likely to
meet before the year progresses many
months beyond January. The tunnels
length will be more than q mile and 4
half greater than that of Mont Gents,
and the total cost several million pounds
sterling more. The German, Italian
and Swiss Governments have granted in
subsidies "a, $4,000.
