About thirty two years ago, when
Ireland was in most desperate
condition, through crop failures
and rent troubles, the population OF
the island was over 100000 It
is now a little over 100000, the
decrease being due to the large EN-
igration to this country, 100000
Irishmen having left their country
after the great famine. These facts
show that agriculture has been
largely abandoned with the decrease
of population, while pauperism has
increased in the last twenty wears,
until the number of paupers is now
over $4,000. against $4,000 in 1857.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: 1 once knew OF
an agricultural society which gave
a very small premium to the best
cow and the best oxen, but gave
one hundred dollars to the fastest
horse. The next year farmers hav
ing nice cattle left them at home,
and only a few appeared on the
grounds, and they with long whips.
When asked where their cattle were
at, they replied, Eat home in the
pastures" Then what is the use
of your long, nice whips? "Oh, we
brought them to drive the fast
horses with" But the society went
down.

Who Would Have Thought It?

There has not been much said
about the disgraceful fact that eggs
we're thrown At Gen. Grant at Gales
burg, Ill. The General was struck
on the side of the head with one of
the eggs, and the story is that 1t was
rotten. The Indignation of the
people was very great. A reward
was offered on the spot for the per
petrator of the outrage. The Gen
eral was excessively annoyed.
"Copperheads' were suspected.
Thre little boys have been arrested.
They deny that they we're instruct
ed to throw eggs, and pretend that
they did not mean TO hit the Gen

Governor Robinson says in a
talk: Had not Mr.. Kelley bolted

proof enough that the fight was
purely a local one and confined to
the State issues entirely, and have
little doubt that with a candidate
acceptable, not TO any section of
the party, but to all the party, we
can carry the State in 1880"

Memphis Ledger: Mr.. Tilden
once SAID a very wise thing, to wit;
that great success in American

pipe laying and wire pulling, by
truck and dicker, but by fidelity to

lie at the bottom of our democratic
institutions and are dear to the
hearts of the people! That is as
true now as when Mr.. Tllden said
it. May the day never come when
it shall cease to be true.
