achoinp publc opinion, shows decided apathy
respecting land reform in Ireland while 1t
seems inpatient for the adoption OF coercIve
measures. In Ireland, there is no abatement
in the popular hostility to landlordism. Inc
people have found in "Boycotting" or ban
ming a powerful weapon, which enables tnem
to harass harsh landlords OF obnoxious Gov
eminent officials, without rendering themselves
amenable to the law. The State trials which
are to begin in Christmas week Will probably
infiarne this hostility considerably. lt Is
probable, therefore, that when Parliament
meets, OH the 9Th of January, both Ireland
and England will still be in ali angry mood.
Should this be the case, it will he in the
power of the Tories to worry the Ministry,
and all Mr.. GIadstone's ability will be required
to keep his party from reverting to Its former
disorderly, pOwerless condition.
Mr. Bayard is in an exceedingly AWKWARD
predicament. He charged The Philadelphia
Press with printing an Incorrect report OF the
speech at Dover in which he attacked Mr..
Conkling and others. The Press now reprints
its original report and accompanies 1t by an
affidavit by the stenographer who MADE IT,
who swears to its accuracy. Ii the matter
rested here the question would he whether
the stenoerapher's notes of what Mr.. Bayard
said, or what Mr.. Bayard remembers he said'
or saws he remembers he said, should be taken
as the better testimony. But this Is not the
end of it, The Press clinches its evidence
with letters from eight persons VINO heard 'he
speech and say it was correctly reported, ana
six others who say "there can be no qnes-
"tion of the substantial accuracy OF the re-
"port." Mr. Bayard will PROBABLY be more
content now than ever t" "leave the mat'er

her own way iEhe bit of girl Of
whom / told you ia my last letter
is not one OF the ''gOOdy-gOOd"
children, but a perfect bunch Of
mischief who needs constant watch
ing. She had taken a fancy 10 play
with the key Of her fathers desk,
often taking II out for the purpose.
One day he told her never 10 take
IL out again, fearing II might be
lost. Some few days after he was
laying half asleep on the sofa, the
little daughter playing beside him
the sudden stiffness OF the room
reused him to the fact that she had
disappeared, and seeing the door TO
the next room where the desk was
opened, he stole softly toward IL to
see what the child was doing.
There she stood Just In front Of the
coveted key, both tiny hands
clasped behind her neck, aud lean
ing forward ON her tiptOes she
kissed it gently. The father crept
unseen to his sofa, and In a moment
she came and stood beside him,
both hands still folded behind her,
and said, "'My' didn't touch the
key cause papa told her not to-"
Surely If tiny creature like this
could put temptation behind her,
we grown-up folks ought 10 have
strength enough to set better ex-
ample than we do.

Narrow Gauge Road 10 Lookout.
Chattanooqa Times.

OhnSaHhOo5A AAAAN0'
The charter of the Lookout Noun
tain Narrow Gauge railway was
registered at Nashville yesterday,
with Glenn Whiteside, James l..
Whiteside, @. Z. James, L. A.
James, J. w. James and Otto
Fischer incOrporators.
The road is TO run from the city,
out Whiteside street, up the eastern
side of Lookout Mountain to the
point. The entire length of the
road will be about ten miles, seven
of which will be consumed in the
ascent from the base to the Point.
The grade up the mountain-side,
from the length of the road, will be
very easy, and no difficulty at all
will be experienced in ascending.
The entire stock of the company,
amounting to $4,000, has already
been subscribed; it is almost en-
tirely owned by the Whiteside
family.
The survey of the road will be
commenced next week, and at once
bids for the construction will be in
vited. 1t is intended TO have the
road finished and in running opera
ton before winter.
This road will prove Of more real
substantial benefit to Chattanooga
than any local enterprise which has
yet been inaugurated here. Ii will
reduce the fare to the mountain to
a mere pittance, and the trip to a
trihe. As a place of resort, the
mountain will become one OF the
most popular i'm the south. Its adj
vantages are so evident that to emu
merate them would be folly. Every
one who has the welfare of the city
at heart will lend their assistance
and encouragement to the enterprise.

Not long since we expressed 20 n
very dear young friend our delight
that on her first appearance at
ball, she had declined to participate
in the round dance. Recommended
her courage In refusing, and sought
to persuade her to persist I'm 1t, by
intimating 10 her what we know 70
be the sentiment and language OF
the gentleman (?) partner in regard
10 the young women who allow
them the immoral familiarities
which such dances permit aud ne
cessitate. AS our young friend ls
not follower Of Jesus Christ. we
appealed to her self-respeet a. pure
girl. We begged her to consider
the matter, not merely from the
standpoint Of religion, but as a ques-
ton of common decency, and to
protect her person from lustful
handling and her good name from
the smirching of foul tongues.
The Central Presbyterian has the
following in point:
The argument against the dancing
now practised by our young people
rests on question of decency. We
need not call jury Of Christians TO
SIT on the case; we only need a Jury
Of Old-fashioned Vireinians who
may play cards, run horses, drink
their grog, and do many other
things in disregard Of the precepts
OF the Christian religion. We are
perfectly willing to rest the case
without argument In their hands,
whether they think IL consistent
with female modesty for a young
woman to pass through the scenes
Of a modern ballroom.
The mere act of dancing is moth
ing; there may be little or no harm
in the old-fashioned cotiIliOn IN a
private house with reasonable hours;
what the standards of the PFesby-
terian church condemn Is "lRScivi-
Gus dancing" We mean no sort of
reflection on the young ladies who
engage in our modern dances;
many of them do it In innocence
and in mere thoughtlessness, and
swept along by the demands of
society; but we do insist that the
thing itself comes within the pre-
else idea aimed at by the standards
of the Westminster assembly. How
can we be cOntradicted? And Is
this a thing for Christian woman
to do? Would Christian girl, who
has really given herself TO her
Savior, defend the practice of ''las-
civious dancing?i II becomes, then,
a mere question of fact. Does the
act of a handsome goman's throw
ing herself into the arms of q young
man come within the idea of 'las-
civiOus?"
The truth is the modern dance
has revolutionized the relations Of
the sexes in this country. 1t has
into our drawing
the indecorums Of the Md6iUe and
the Chateau Rouge. 1t has changed
the attitude OF our young men to-
wards the gentler sex. They do
not regard them with the same re-
spect, with the same knightly devO-
ion; they are regarded more as
fellows" who do not live In that
of sublimated guileless-
hess that they formerly occupied.
There is familiarity practised by
he young men towards the young
women which is simply shocking,
md it is largely the fruit OF the
lance. Woman has experienced
he change which came over France
It the close of the last century,
when all reverence was lost for
everything.
