A WORD FOR PARNELL.


CHICAGO, Feb. 2o.-First in the hearts OF
bis countrymen; this is the place that Charles
Stewart Parneu holds to-day, and under
man occupy. Notwithstanding the misrep-
resentations of the brutal, believing British
Parliament, the Tory press Of England, and
others, the Irish people have elected him by
acclamatlon as their leader, and to whatever
this generous, faithful people pin their faith,
they untlinchtngly cling until the object Of
their fidelity errs. In view of the fact that
Mr.. Parnell is himself an Irish landlord, and
has been educated In patrician schools,
his associations have all been Of a
nature calculated to engender aristo-
cratic tastes and conventional forms,
and to deviate from the code established by
British gil1-edged society at once incurs the
society bonds requires no ordin1ry amount
Of fortitude and self-deDia1. We're Mr.. Par
nell to consult his personal interests only,
and steei bis heart against the feelings OF
pity and the pronptings Of Justice that have
stepped down and out from the aristocratic
circle and the privileged class 10 which he be-
longs. Wllile Home-Rulers, Federalists, and
Nationalists wrangIed, the tenant-faruer
looked on in doubt and despair: He knew
their puny efforts would be Of no avail.
There was no reasonable hope that the rack
renting. absentee landlord would relax his
iron grip.
Already the efforts of Mr.. Pa1nell and the
Land League have been productive Of great
Government before the bar Of the great
tribunal of the world, and an account Of
their Stewardship has been demanded. En-

upon its back, it gave visitors an err
roneous impression of its form. its
mouth and its baleen. The top of the
head lay upon the floor, and the upper
Jaws therefore under the lower laws;
the right fin stood erect and looked as
though the animal had dorsal or back
mn, which is not so, this species having
no back Tin, although the sperm whale
mas a small back or dorsal fin. Eniov-
ing means of progression so extensive.
living in medium but little affected
by variations of climate, these animals
are not generally bounded by strict
geographical limits which confne the
terrestrial mammalia. Whales, il il
SAID, do not attain their full growth
under twenty-five years. l have been
frequently asked why this species is
called the right whale, and l will now
reply: On board the vessel engaged in
the whale fishery man is sent aIoft to
watch Tor whales, and one is kept there
all the day. AS soon as he sees a spout
he calls to the officer on deck and sings
out right or "sperm," as it may be,
and This he knows from the single or
double jet, which he sees; the call is
then made for the boats, and if it be the
whale that the sailors most desire the
word will be Fright! right" but should
1T be sperm whale the word spermr'
will pass through the ship. There is
not so much risk in capturing the right
whale, but the sperm whale having a.
formidable set of teeth, will sometimes
turn upon its pursuers and crush the
boat, and often many of the sailors are
killed.-Prof. Holmes, in Charleston rs.

The first cabin into which l went was
place that an Englishman would think
too bad for his pig. Its floor of earth
water even stood in the hollows; the
only furniture was a few cups and
saucers, stool or two, and as many
tubs and pots; in one corner mass of
dirty straw had evidently been used as
bed, and on the wretched hearth
smoked rather than burnt an apology
for fire. The man of the house-shOe-
less and coatless, pale and haggard-
sat idle upon bag of Indian meal, be-
yond which his food resources did not
60, and through the gloom around the
hearth-there was no window to speak
of-could be dimly made out one or
two crouching female figures. l never
saw anything in the way of home in
civilized country-and have seen a
good deal-more appalling than this.
Yet here was the case of man renting
three acres of land, and usually getting
what he would be content to call liv-
ing out of them. Now, alas! he and
the thousands of others like him, have
reached the end of their miserable last
seasons crop, and beyond them but q
little way lies starvation. The half bag
of Indian meal was all the family had,
nothing more remaining upon which, by
sale or mortgage, money could be
raised, and to the question "What will
you do when the meal gives outp" came

Not far from this. was shown by my
melancholy attendants into an equally

seven young children was fighting the

had gone out gathering what she could
OF stuff to make fire wherewith to
cook the family dinner, consisting of a
single cabbage! But the poor little
children, half clothed, thin and hollow

rending eloquence for aid. Once more
heard the old story. The land had
yielded nothing; no turf could be OBJ
tanned for fuel short of journey of
eight miles, and the family had touched
absolute restitution. Over the way, in
another apology for dwelling place,
found three poor women trying to kim
die fire with damp beanstaiks, their
only crop, in order to cook a dish of
Indian meal, their only food. London
