THE BLIND EYE.
A Fairy Story from DOnega

Fairy Story from Donegal.
Mrs Mcpherson was very important
parsonage in the townland of Crohanroe,
having something to do with the exit of
her neighbOrs from this troublouS life,
but still more with their entrance into
it; in short, she was the sage femme of
the entire district. Her duties, there
fore, took her to every wake and
christening in the country, after she had
attended the death-bed and dressed the
dead, or received and welcomed the
newborn. She spent few nights at
home in her lonely cabin by the road
side, where there were none to bear her
company, for she was childless widow.
The townland was very extensive; it
embraced a tract of well cultivated
country, as well as a wildregion stretch
ing up into the Donegal mountains.
CrOhanrOe took its name from a rocky
piece of land where furze bushes and
blocks of granite abounded. The high
road lay between this picturesque wilder
ness and Mrs. McPherson's cottage, and
no other human habitation was in sight.
Somewhat lonely felt the good woman
one afternoon after returning from Matt
ODOnOghue'S funeral, where, out of re-
spect to the family, she had keened her
self quite hoarse.
She was having recourse to her short,
black pipe for comfort, when steps were
heard at the door, and, glad to welcome
neighbOr in her solitude, she looked
round briskly.
A stranger entered-a man apparent
ly between 40 and so years of age,
dressed in the long-tailed coat, knee
breeches, and blue stockings then worn
by the peasantry.
b Mrs. Mcpherson bade him kindly well
come, and prayed him to be seated.
"My good woman," said he, "will
you be pleased to gle me drink of
waterP"
"With all the pleasure in life,n re-
piled she, going over to her water can,
and handing him drink.
." An where do you get your water,
ma'am?" he asked, when he had thank
fully returned the cup.
Pm" Why, sir, 90 good little piece for
that water-down to the well at the foot
O. Donnel's potato field"
"Why do you 90 that far, an spring
at the foot O. your ain garden?"
"There's nae spring ava in my gar
den, sir.n
"Troth is there; just fine spring
bubbling up beside the ash tree"
} Mrs. Mcpherson knew that there was
no well in her garden but being too po-
lite to contradict the stranger, she re-
manned silent.
At length he got up and said he must
be going.
GLOW far have you to 90, sirP"
asked his hostess.
"Not far, ma'am; I'm neighbor o.
yours; | live on Crohanroe.n
"Crohanroe, good man? There's nae
house on Crohamoe, an I never seen
you before to my knowledge" replied
she, in extreme bewilderment.
"But ken yOu well; I'm living on
CrohanrOe these hundred years.
Mrs. Mcpherson stood at her door and
watched the visitor, who crossed the
high-rOad and went to Crohanroe; but
there she lost sight of him; there were
so many furze bushes and great stones
that he might easily be hidden.
Slowly she turned into her little gar
den, and walked over to the ash-tree.
There, sure enough, was clear spring
bubbling up at the root Of the tree, and
wearing a reservoir for itself in the

Railroad Grants 1nviOlAte.

A few days since the Supreme court
of the United States announced decis
ion which is OF utmost Importance to
western railroads and settlers on public
lands. Last July, Secretary Schurs
made decision against the Union Pa.

a homestead claimant in Nebraska,
which if sustained, would have opened
to settlement by homestead and other
entries all the public lands embracing
millions Of acres. that had been granted
under acts which he construed as au.
thorizing government to resume posses
sion Of all unoccupied railroad lands
Upder the sccretary's decision circu
lar had been issued by the general land
Office, offering for sale lands Of this
class, and great many entries were
made by settlers under circular. Th'
Union Pacific company brought actio'
TO eject certain Of those settlers from
their entries. Judgement was rendered
in their favor by the United States dis
trict court. Appeal was taken by tn
defendants. and the judgement was al
