LET me give you a sample of what /
saw in many scores of huts, and in a
few that are matched and of stone and
sand on the edge of a bog, which affords
them peat for fuel. They contain three
small rooms. One is the room where
the household lives. Through a small
hole in its roof the kitchen smoke is
forced to escape. There is almost q
peat famine this year on account of the
wet weather. The only fuel consists of
q bunch of green twigs. Another room
is for the cow-if they are happy enough
to possess one, which is very rarely the
case. The COW is part of the family,
and always goes drought the front door.
In the third room, which is probably
eight or nine feet square, the family
sleep. They have one bed, with two
thin, worn-out blankets, and here four
of a household of nine must sleep, not
lengthwise but crosswise, covering them
selves as best they an. The rest pile
up q small bundle of straw in the corner
and sleep on it. Pressed by hunger,
they have eaten all their store of pota-
toes, and the only food in the whole
house is q few pounds of Indian meal,
which they mix with water and make q
"stirabout." This is all they have, and
all they win have until the autumn.
What wonder then that they should be
disheartened and diecouragedp Ihavo
asked again, what part of their wretch
edness is due to intemperancef I I'm
assured that it is caused solely by the
utter failure of the crops, and with all
this poverty the majority Of the Irish
are cheerful. The people are enduring
the great stress of suffering with . pluck
and courage which are truly admirable.
It is my hope and prayer that the Amer
lean people win not feel that enough has
been already done. Pinched As the
Irish are today, their condition Is one
Of happiness in comparison with that in
which they viii find themselves in the
course Of . few weeks. From the early
part of April until the first crop g
reaped, that win be the season Of their
real trouble, Of their aetual struggle for
existence-6eo. "a. HepDostA, q NeD

HANCOCK.
His Willingness to Obey Tilden's
Orders.

The statement that Gen. Hancock was
anxious TO support Tilden in 1877, in the
event of the latters taking the presidential
oath, is further strengthened to-day by the
full statement of Hiram Atkins, chairman
of the state committee, and a newspaper
correspondent, the latter being pledged 10
secrecy at the time of the democratic con
clave. Atkins saws that at a dinner given
by HIM to Gen. w +. Smith, of New York,
in Montpelier last April, Smith made the
following statement: Prior TO the estab
ishment of the electoral commission Gen.
Hancock informed Gen Sherman that it
was due to him General Sherman) TO
be apprised of what his General Ham
cocks opinion was in the matter.
He, therefore, would say that he considered
that Mr.. 1ilden had been elected president
of the United States. and Grants term of
office expired at midnight of the 3rd of
March; that regardless of anything MIR.
Ferry might do, if congress declared that
Mr.. Tilden was elected president he
Hancock believed Tilden had a right TO
take the oath of office wherever he might
lie, and that if Mr. Tilden did take oath of
Office and he should receive any orders
from Mr.. Iilden, as president of the I'm
ited States. after midnight Of the 3rd of
March, he should obey them. Gen. Han

KILLED BY THE HEAT.
Almost tTnprecedrnt Mortality Among
ChiIdrcA in the City of New Norl. =
The Hot spell in the East.

The relentless heat continues not
merely to spread universal discomfort,
but to vastly increase the death list,
both in the city and suburbs In the
crowded tenement districts Its ravages
are, of course, most felt, but not always
by the seaside is there a resource from
the suffering which it entails. Strong
persons who for a short time would be
able to bear readily enough an abnor-
NAL temperature, are gradually ener-
waited by continuance of torTid days
and sultry and oppressive nights, while
children and delicate persons rapidly
succumhto the strain upon their vital
powers. Yesterdays death hist, rs re-
ported at the Bureau of Vital statistics,
was almost unprecedented, the victims
being mostly children. In Brooklyn
the number of deaths for the week end
ing the Goth instant was Ala, being an
increase of Isl over the mortality in the
previous week. OF this increase 1879
were children, whose deaths are set
down to cholera infantum.
Even at Long Branch the heat yes
terday was intense. On the pier the
thermometer registered at one time %
degrees, while in the village the mer-
curry reached an altitude of 90 degrees.
At Perth Amboy, n J., it also ran up
to 90 degrees. while at Red Rank. y. j.,
it reached 100 degrees and South Am
boy 100 degrees in the shade
There were recorded yesterday in the
Bureau of Vital statistics % deaths,
the greater part of which were from
summer diseases. There were sixteen
deaths by Sunstroke.
