THE system of instruction by which the
Irish constabuary has attained its high state
of excellence as a police organization might
well be copied by the police boards of our
different cities. Candidates are required to
bo five feet nine inches in height between
eighteen and twenty.three years Of age, and
of temperate habit. For six months they arc
drilled in the school of the soldier and com
pauy as the regular troops are. They are
sent to school for one year or more as may be
necessary, and receive instruction in all mat

If the space of the Tirginid Liberal is of
any value it is very pro1igate in it to dc.
vote so much Of it in direction where il
is n dead loss, for now that TIE RrPuBLI-
CAN has lifted the lion skin from the ass it
matters very little to us how loud or long
it may bray. When the people of Alexan-
dria attempted to suppress that pestilence
in its infancy by casting a portion Of its
edition into the Potomac, where garbage is
usually consigned, THE REPUBLICAN,
yielded its sympathies to the side of what
it regarded to be the prosecuted party, but
we now begin to sec and thinl; that the
people of Alexandria knew what they were
about. If the Liberal perseveres in its
present hateful and malicious course to-
ward the republican party and its interests
it will yet compel that party to the opinion
that the mistake made was in not putting
the editor and publisher into the river in
stead of the sheets of paper he has smutted
with his ink and abuse.

ANOTHER great railway company has
been organized by eastern capitalists to
build new route from the Pacific scaboard
with its terminus ut Portland eastward
through the state of Oregon to Boise City,
Idaho, and there connect with the oxten-
sion of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railway now building. This new organiza.
tion has acquired the possession of the ex-
tensivc grants of the Willamette railway
and the Oregon Pacific railway. The
terminus at the Yaquinu bay, next to those
Of San Francisco in depth and space on the
coast will be connected with the latter city
aud Central America by line of large
steamers. The road is destined to con.
troll the trade of middle and southern

the Northern Pacific of much Of its trans

OBITU AIRY.

Entered into rest al Jackson, Miss, May
9TH, 1880, Mrs. ANNA NJ, widow of the late Jno.
7. Hull in her 59th year.
She was born in Monticello, Lawrence coun-
ty, August DIST. 1921, but spent the last forty
years of her life in this city and vicinity,
where she was well known to many of the old
citizens, and we may truly say she passed
from the cradle to the grave beloved by all who
knew her; of quiet and shrinking DISPOSE
ton, she lived chiefly in the retirement of her
home, her sympathIes going out in gentle
deeds to all around, and her true heart re-
spending to the wants of the poor and suffer
ing. The kindness and benevolence of her
ma ture was most beautifully eXemplifed in
her maternal care for the orphans of her fam
lily, and one of the great comforts through her
long painful illness the constant at
tendance at her bedside of one whose helpless
infancy had found in her mothers tender
love.
The bereaved sons have our heartfelt SYM
pathy in the loss of such loving and devoted
mother, May her christian example be q
beacon light to guide them into the path in
which she walked, and finally unite them and
all her loved ones in that heavenly home
where she rests with those who were
awaiting her there.
Peace to thy soul" dear friend, may the
beautiful flowers that were so loved in life,
bloom brightly and shed their fragrance over
thy grave.
