LONDON, Oct 15, 1879.
There was an anti-rcnt demonstration ut Bel
fast this evening. at which Mcssrs. Parncll and
Biggnr spoke. Resolutions were passed declar
ing that ut no time in the history Of ireland was
the want OF native Parliament more clearly
demonstrated than by the present alarm
ing distress aud by the continued and de-
libcratc hostility of the English gov
crnment to Irish prosperity; that tho
establishment of peasant proprietary was tho
only practical and final solution of the land
question. Disturbances were expected ut the
mcctingin consequences of the strong feeling of
Orangcmcn against Mr.. Parncll, but no trouble
is reported. A well informed correspondent
estimates that fifteen thousand persons
were present at the Belfast meeting. Mr..
Parnclrs speech was of the usual violent
character lie said the English government
had remained indifferent. though it knew the
distress approaching would be as bad as that OF
the famine year--1si7.

JOHN Q, SAKE.
A Sad Story Concerning the Poet.
The Albany Argus says :

The Albany Argus says:
The sad statement is made that
John Godfrey SAKE has succumbed to
melancholia, and that he is an affect
ing example of mental suffering. As
a poet and lecturer Mr.. SAKE has given
so much pleasure to so many that the
fact of his Intellectual disorder will
excite much sympathy andregret. Mr..
Sake first appeared as a poet in the
old Knickerbocket Magazine, in 1913.
His first deep mark was made in a
poem called Progress, a satire, and
since then he has become well known
as a humorous poet, sketch writer and
lecturer. Born in Franklin county,
Vermont, in 1916, Mr.. SAKE was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1913, in his TWEEN
ty-seyenth year. Not long after he
removed to Burlington, Vt. and be-
came editor and owner of the Sentinel,
which he managed with success and
popularity He was the formal and
f%un-loving candidate of a hopeless
minority for governor for several years
in succession. About fifteen years ago.
Mr.. Sake removed to this State, prac-
ticing law in New York and residing
in First place, Brooklyn. Reverses
have overtaken the gentleman of
late years, and painful illnesses
have befallen him and members of his
family. He denies himself to his
dearest friends, His gloom is abso-
lutte and beyond relief. Among lee
turers Mr.. SAKE will hold a not high
rank, but there is no doubt he is a
poet of a distinct though not a high
order of ability, and that he has done
much, of transact value in itself, to
make lighter the contemplation by
readers of their hardships, or to en-
able them to bear or forget them. Mr..
Sake as a lover Of the good things of
life has not excluded from his afec-
tons the good things of the table. in
Guiding its wit and humor, and he was
much in request in former years as an
after-dinner speaker. The tax which
good livers pay on their constitution
has been paid by Mr.. SAKE, but it was
hoped that his health would come
back under a system to which he sub
iected himself. That hope appears to
be fallacious, and the brokensdown
condition Of Mr., SAKE will excite not
a little sympathy
