A Card from nIr. Russell.

CHICAGO, july 13.-Pcrmit mc to return you
my sincere thanks for your Kindness both for
giving report Of my lecture on 1.-THE Languase'
Literature, and Music Of Ireland" mud for also
having inserted articles on these subjects prevl-
Gus to the lecture. l an. sorry to be forced to
say that the Chicago Times neither inserted any
notice OF the subjects OF the lecture, although
wrote an article on them for that paper, nor
gave any report whatcrei. / think fully 40 per
cent OF the readers Of the Itnaes are Irish, and
one would naturally suppose that 1t would be-
more courteous to its ientee than ignore mat
ter connected SO closely with thc country OF
their birth. 1t would seem that the fact OF any
subject being Irish is enough to damn it with
the TINES, and trust that making the fact pub
lie may: po Of benefit to my countrymen. Yours

When Heart and Hope alike were mine,
The Earth seemed very fair;
Wherc'er roved, built shrine,
And worshned Pleasure there;
For Heart was young and Hope was strong,
And Curps die1n all my song.
But soon young Heart q captive lay
Meath eyes Of conquer,ng hue;
I bore my loss as lovers may. -
And scornel to make ado;
For Hope remained still unconstraiucd-
Her coufucnce ny soul sustained.
Then cnme time, weary time,
When llopc herself missed;
Nor know now in any cline
II Heart or Hone exist. Is
When one had lied, the Other sped,
And left me even as one dead.

THE STATUS OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVE

Connecting the election Of four Repub-
lican Congressman from California, the
status OF the House of Representatives,
in case of it being. called upon to elect
President, becomes interesting, In the
last Congress the California delegation
was counted out on the Presidential
question. as il was tie. In this Con-
gress it will be counted for the Republi-
cans.
The result is that as each State casts
but one vote on the ballot for President
there would be tie, or nineteen States
for the Democratic nominee and nine
teen for the Republican. In such case
the provision of the Constitution is as
follows:
ART. MI. "And if the
House Of Representatives shall not
choose a President whenever the right
of choice shall devolve on them, before
the fourth day OF March next following,
then the Vice President shall act as
President, as in the case of the death or
other constitutional disability OF the
President. The person having the great
est number OF votes as Vice President,
shall be the Vice President, if such
number be a majority ofthe whole num-
Der of Electors appointed, and If no per
son have a majority, then from the two
highest numbers on the list, the Senate
shall choose the Vice President; a
chorum for the purpose shall consist OF
two-thirds of the whole number OF Sen
ators, and a majority OF the whole num-
Der shall be necessary to a choice"
Thus if no break should occur in the
delegations as they now stand, and the
House should thus be unable TO elect,
we would be still certain Of a Demo-
cratic President. The Democratic ma
jority in the Senate is so pronounced as
TO leave no question of the election OF
Democratic Vice President, who would,
after the fourth OF March, become the
acting President.
Upon questions Of legislative char
acter, where each member votes indie
pendently OF his delegation, the status
of the House is different. All the MEM
bers OF Congress are now chosen with
the exception ola vacancy in New York
district and one in Iowa. Both these
vacancies will be filled at the fall cleo
tons. The district from which the
| Congressman in New York is to be
chosen is strongly Democratic, and the
one in Iowa is largely Republican. tits
reasonably certain, therefore, that a
Democrat will be chosen from the one
and Republican from the other. The
standing OF the House, then, when it
meets in December will be as follows:
