The Irish Agitation.

In Mr.. Parnells speech at Liverpool, On
outline of which is given in our dispatches,
one Legitimate point at least appears to
have been made against the repressive
measures of the government, md the re-
mainder of the address was devoted to the
regular cry of the agitation--the reiteration
of the clamor against 'landlordism." 1t is
fair impeachment of the governme ent 8
course that it endeavors to deal with politi-
cal opposition not by political methods
and agents. but by appeal to the criminal
authorities In England the arguments of
an opposition must be met by arguments
which answer the statements made, or, Mt
worst, opponents must be discredited by
slanders in official organs. 1t did not occur
to anybody to call for the police the other
day when the Duke of Argyll denounced a
speech Of member of the Ministry rs full
OF falsehoods and the whole policy of
the government as based upon trick
cry and deceit. Few opponents are
fiercer or harsher in denunciation
than Mr.. Lowe, yet the government
does not increase the garrison of any Eng
lish town upon information that he Is to
address its citizens. Nobody considers for
moment that the government can proceed
otherwise than by strictly political and
civil methods in England, but in ireland
things are done "the clean contrary way"
The constabulary, the garrisons, the in
formers, the official witnesses arc
the elements of debate in Ireland, 80 far
as the government is inclined to go
into it; and it seems very likely that
this course Of the government in the
suppression by public force and the crimi-
nal authorities OF the voice of legitimate
criticism of its acts tends to spread the con-
viction that the words of the orators ore un.

a small reduction in the amount OF the
greenbacks The Resumption law OF lofo'
before it was altered by subsequent legisia-
ton, required that the legal tender notes
should be reduced to the sum of three hun
dred million dollars and remain stationary
at that point. Mr.. Sherman desires the
restoration of that feature of the original
law. We have small hope that he will be
able 10 get that much done, for his recon-
mendation rests on no principle, whereas
the most effective weapon of currency re-
form is q bold assertion of financial truth.
Mr.. Sherman surprises and delights us
by recommending the admission OF foreign
built ships to American ownership ana
registry. He would indeed have an I'M
port duty placed upon ships, but we are
willing that the healthful medicine be
sugar coated if that will induce the patient
to swallow it. When our merchants can
buy foreign ships as freely as they buy
foreign commodities, subject only to such
varying duties as Congress may impose,
the principle Of our obsolete Navigation
law will have been abandoned, and we
may safely trust to time and the growth OF
public opinion to do tho rest.

Some important light has in the opinion
of Irish agitators been thrown on this i'm
portant point by striking passage in q
recent letter from Mr.. Gladstone. He seems
to reason that the barrel of gunpowder
which was rolled against the wall of The
Clerkenwell Prison did not merely blow
down that wall, but was, in fact, the force
that blew up the Established Church in
Ireland. He distinctly attributes to that
remarkable crime and to the murder
Of policeman in Manchester in
the course of the same Fenian agitation
the introduction of Irish grievances to the
ground of practical politics, as they showed
fury under oppression which demanded
All efficient remedy. This view Of past events
is one that bids fair to be utilized by the
agitators of to-day, who already reason that
If one or two outrages In England were SO
fruitful of good results others may be
equally fruitful; and that If O little expen-
diturc in that way will help it is not worth
while for Ireland to deny herself any con-
ceivable satisfaction.

The Royal Marriage in Madrid.

1t was gala day yesterday in the Span
ish capital, and the whole public seems to
have sympathized earnestly In the pleasure
and satisfaction that are naturally supposed
to be inseparable elements of such an event
as o royal marriage. Madrid is not one of
the great capitals of the world in the sense
of magnitude, and particularly not in the
sense of personal isolation that is commonly
incident to life in great cities. 1t is
rather like pleasant country town,
where everybody knows all about every
body else; and His Majesty the King, his
comings and goings and sayings and doings,
are as much in the eye and ear of the peo-
pie as the town constable in the rural
region. Indeed. there is kind of genial,
hearty, personal relation between Span
ish sovereign aud the people of his capital
such as does not exist in any other country
in Europe, and more nearly resembles what
may be imagined Of these relations in the an
cient heroic monarchies than what is known
of modern States. With such o sentiment
everybody probably felt as Immediately
concerned in the pleasures of the
occasion as if he had marriage
in his own family, but one as to
WHICH ho had no responsibilities. Happily
for Europe no sinister consequences can be
imagined as related to this event by any
possible thread. With republic in
France-a republic inspired with the grand
principle of minding its own business,
without dynastic hopes or apprehensions in
regard to the Spanish throne-thero is no
possibility of putting Europe in arms to
force Spanish sovereign to accept bride
he does not want or deprive him Of one he
does want. Consequently the marriage is
the happy union of young people some
what glorifed by the exalted station OF
each.

answerable in more rational way. We
cannot see at least that this method is any
mora just in Ireland now than it was
in England in the days of Jeffreys.
As for the clamor that demands the
abolition of landlordism-a cry that
is or bids fair to become the platform
of the agitation--it is characteristically
Hibernian. The Irish people. says Mr..
Parnell, ''will stand by the movement un-
til landlordism as an institution is forever
abolished in Ireland" Now, we do not
believe the Irish people want to abolish
landlordism; they want to abolish landlords.
that is to say the present landlords, and as
the practical attempts in that way with shot
guns show the labor to be tedious they
would be glad of any help in the shape
of legislation. To abolish lapdlordism
would be to abolish property. and nobody
is fonder of owning nice bit of property
than an Irishman. Pat does not want
property abolished, he only wants i to
change hands He wants to have some
magical process that will suddenly make
him the owner of a snug farm, as he has
not the means of buying one in the ordi-
nary way. Just now he believes Mr.. Par
nell has discovered some scheme of that
but when he discovers that the agitation is
to be as barren in that respect as were the
promises to Sambo after the war of forty
acres and mule he will give it all up in

Juice" were not in being, and even If they
had been would have conveyed less signif-
canoe to their comprehension than the vo-
cabulary of the Algonquin Indians upon
whose territory they encroached. Let us
be grateful to them, however, for what they
did do, although, with larger intelligence,
they might have done more They invented
and sanctioned pie, which responds to a
general craving of the American people, and
therefore if the voice OF the people is the
voice of God, pie theologically considered
is as heavenly a gift as mamma and politi-
cally considered is as representative DEM
ocratic institution as universal suffrage.
On the theatre of its origin, recent report
of the Board Of Health of Massachusetts,,
comprising such physicians as DR.. Henry
rockingham, and such publicists as Gus
tavus V. Fox, the late Assistant Secretary
of the Navy. solemnly certifes that spies
are eaten twice day by most people in this
State above the age Of five years." and
although no official statistics are available
elsewhere yet popular observation attests
that corresponding consumption of pie is
common throughout the whole American
Union.
1t is utterly fatuous to resist this univer-
sal craving by criticism. Even Dr. Ham
mond. in the interesting interview we print
to-day, acknowledges the vanity of the un-
dertaking. The people are bound to eat
pie despite of all arguments to the con-
trary. Witness the statistics we also print
from hotels and restaurants. 'Look here,
you" said the Lynn shoemaker, transmitted
into volunteer corporal, who had just Sc
himself after the battle of Antietam, and
was biting them sandwiched together
'look here, you; be these pies peg
ged or sewed?' But whether pegged
or sewed he was bound to eat them
just the same Even the certainty of sacri-
ficing the handsome prize at recent walk
ing match in this city did not restrain one
of the foremost champions from taking an
occasional bite of pie between his laps
The proper policy for dieteticians, there
fore, is to improve pie, not to vainly strive
to abolish it.; to emancipate its preparation
from the dense mystery which surrounds it
in most bakeries; to make the art of its cor
rect composition and cooking common
knowledge, and since it inevitably is the
| representative characteristic Of American
diet, to cultivate it into On excellence
worthy of the land we live in.

Instinct in a Crab.

Mr.. Darwin in his "Naturalist's Voy-
age" thus describes a crab which
makes its diet of cocoanuts, and which
he found on Kneeling Island, in the
South seas. at is commen on all parts
of dry land, and grows to monstrous
size. 1t has pair of front legs, termi-
mated by strong and heavy pincers; and
the least pair Of others which are mar
row and weak. 1t would at first thought
quiet impossible for a crab to open a
strong cocOanut covered with the husk !;
but Mr.. Liesk assures me he has repea-
tedly seen the operation effected. The
crab begins by tearing the husk, fibre
by fibre, and always from that end un-
der which the three eye-holes are silu-
ated. When this is completed the crab
commences hammering with its heavy
claws on one of those eye-holes till an
opening is made; then turning round
its body by the aid of its narrow pair Of
pincers, it extracts the white albumi-
nous Substance. / think this as curious
a case of instinct as ever l heard of, and
of adaptation in structure bet
ween two objects apparently so remote
from each other In the scheme of nature
as a crab and a cocoanut."
