possibly interfere with the right of our people to
make their own laws on the soil of Ireland"
PARNELL-Yes; suppose it is a great temp
tation for the government to arrest and have
lish jury, but it will be hard in the present day
to get a jury either in England or Ireland to
convict man for so-called sedition. Moreover,
if English journals knew more Of Irish history
they would know the attitude of the Irish
volunteers, Catholic and Protestant, in 1852.
That institution, now considered unconstitu-
tional, was then regarded and used as a political
factor.
CoRREsrosDENT-Do you anticipate much
distress in the West of Ireland this wintera
PARNELL-Yes; there will be much suffering
after Christmas. Potatoes have failed and the
stock will soon be exhausted. For thenext two
or three months the want of fuel will also cause
great suffering. Ii the government had issued
small quantities of coal to burn with the turf it
would have been q source Of enormous saving

AGITATING FOR IRELAND's BENEFIT.
CoRREsroNDENT-Will the meetings Of the
coming week be as numerous ever9
PARNELL-If the weather permits, yes. There
will be great gathering at Castelar, on Sun
Other meetings will be held in various parts Of
Ireland.
CONSEQUENTLY there any truth in the
reports of the transferral Of the agitation to
Englandl
PARNELL-Of course there will be an agitation
to considerable extent in England, but we
have no desire to remove the great battle ground
from Ireland Our aim is to keep the Irish peo-
pie aroused to the Importance OF sustaining the
English know and care very little about Irish
questions. 1t is impossible to touch their con-
science. The only practical agitation lie in Ire
land.
CONSEQUENTLY you think the agitation
will affect the next elections7
PARNELL-Yes, it must affect them indirectly,
but we desire to keep the parliamentary and
land questions separate Our object is not a
political one; it is only to reform the land laws
and relieve the terrible burdens Of the tenant
farmers.
The correspondent then called Mr.. Parnelrs
attention to the report of the meeting held in
Chicago on Monday night and published in the
papers of to-day, saying that Irishmen in
America would doubtless be gratifed at any
thing he might reply. 'Please convey" said
he, ''to my countrymen in Chicago my warm
appreciation of their generous sympathy. The
people Of Ireland are watching the action OF
their friends in America with the greatest anx-
iety and interest"

SELLING TIE JEwELs.-The Plantage.
nets were very rough and ready fnanciers.
When Richard took it into his head to
try conclusions with Saladin, l,o raised
the needfal BY turning The crown manors
and the fortresses Of Rosbnrg and Berwick
into hard cash, selling offices of trust to
the best bidders. and did not hesitate to
avow that he would dispose of London
itself if purchaser were forthcoming.
Strangely enough, Cear de Lion never
seems to have thought Of doing the same
by his crown jewels.
II nry Ill was the first English mon.
arch who had recourse to that undgn-
fed expedient The idea, indeed, did not
originate with him; for it is recorded that
when some person or persons unknown
suggested the rep|enishing Of the royal
Golfers by selling the crown plate and Jew
elry, the King limited doubt as to the
likelihood of finding purchasers. and being
assured that the citizens Of London would
gladly accommodate him, Henry exclaim.
ed: "On my word, if the treasury Of
Augustus were brought to sale, the citizens
are able TO be the purchasers. These
clowns, who assume to themselves the
name of Barons abound in everything,
while we are reduced to necessities !"
notwithstanding his Indignation, Hen
ry, like other men in bis predicament,
was willing enough to deal with the full.
pursed ones he abused, and so, is l24s,
he sold the citizens Of London all the
plate and jewelry he had not already
mortgaged to the merchants of France.
The relief afforded was, however, only
temporary one, for seven years later we
find him demanding eight thousand
marks Of the Jews, and answering their
remonstrance against the exaction by
pleading that he was beggsr, spoiled
and stripped of all his revenues, without
farthing wherewith to keep himself, and
therefore must have money from any
band and by any meaus.-AH the Year

OLD TINE M1RRoRs-The surface of
smooth water is natural mirror, which
the ancient poets referred to as having
been used by persons for viewing their
own forms.
With the ancient Egyptians one of the
principal articles Of toilet was the mirror.
Wilkinson said it was mixed metal, chiefly
copper, highly polished. Silver mirrors
were so common among the Romans that
they were in use even by the maid ser.
wants. The ancients had drinking vessels
as mentioned BY Pliny, the inside Of
which was so cut and polished that the
image of one drinking from them was re-
flected many times. In the 14th century
glass mirrors were extremely rare in
France, but metallic ones were in com.
mon use.-Detyois Free Press.
