THE IRISH QUESTION

The speeches Of the gentlemen, who adj
dressed the mass meeting last Monday
night were full of useful thoughts, well
and forcibly presented, Lut they did not do
Justice to one branch OF the subject that is
the turpitude of England, 50 properly
called "perfdious Albion" by the French.
Evidence is abundant, that England does
not want to aid Ireland. She wants to de-
populate Ireland of all true Irishmcn.
1t is less than three years since there was
famine in those parts Of the British East
India Empire in and around Bonn
bay and Madras. The subjects Of
this famine were copper coored
heathens, not holding kinship Of
blood,or affinity of religion,or ideas; with the
English. They were the very men, or the
kinsmen and friends of the very men, vino
murdered the English garnsons during the
Sepoy rebellion of 1857. But the British
parliament two years ago appropriated fifty
millions Of dollars to relieve the sufferers
from the famine in India!
The secret of this abominable conduct
by the British government is that they want
the Irish population to leave their native
land, or else to die Of starvation We are
aware that our indictment against England
is strong, and apparently harsh, but it is
founded upon truth In the Queens speech
she says that food would be distributed, "IF
SUCH \ STEP SHOULD BECOME NECESSARY
such a step should become necessary"
while it is known that thousands and hun
drcds of thousands are suffering for bread
Such cold Indifference from the head Of the
government q portion Of whose citizens are
dying from hunger, deserves the condcmna.

The Wust He Ever Seed.

THERE was quite a commotion caused
on Dryades Street, near Common, last
night, by a spirited dispute between an
old and q young man of the African
persuasion. OF course woman, or
rather a girl, was at the bottom of the
trouble. The old man stood in the
doorway, and shaking his fist at the
object Of his wrath who lowered on the
ragged edge of the banquette, ex-
claimed:
"Now look hyar, young mani l
done tole you three times to distrac'
desc premises and huff dat gal lone.
amt raised her for no black pup like
you, and she amt gwine to frow hirself
away to no drunken niggah nohowl
Now if / catch you snoozin' roun' dat
gal agin, Use gwine to confne myself to
a more fussible argument wild de help
OBJ a good pair of heels. Now you min
dat"
The young man at first seemed in
clined to pursue pacific policy, but,
noticing the ieering and laughing of the
crowd, changed his mind, and shaking
his fist in return gave vent to his feelings
in this manner:
=" Misser Taylor, you knows likes
Bermuda and de gal likes me too, and
Use gwine to hab her and if fifty ole
niggers 'ud stand in de way, an if you
waren't Bermuda's father I'd cut
shoe strings outer yer ole skin long
agol"
The old mans eyes dilated, whilst
the smile of demon stole over his face,
and sliding swiftly into the house he re-
turned q moment later with a pistol as
big as a good sized rifle, the muzzle of
which could successfully compete with
one Of Krupp's forty Founders. He
pointed the Internal machine at his
would-be son-in-law and said:
Yer is gwine to cut shoe strings
outer dis ole man, ehP Now, you see
dis ere pistolP It's filled one-half wild
powder an de oder half with buckshot,
an if you doont board the gospel ship
right now and sail outer sight in half a
mint I'll let her go an yer can pick up
what's left oh yer!''
The young man and about o dozen
of the crowd standing near him did sail
out of sight around the nearest corner
in less than half q minute, whilst the
old man, watching the exodus, gleefully
exclaimed:
"Dar's muffin in dat pistol, an de
barrel is made outer wood, but it's de
wus gun on skeering people ebber

The Kitchen Garden.

FARMERS of moderate means who
grow vegetables and small fruits for
home consumption only are liable in
their jealous promotion of field crops
for the markets to greatly neglect the
kitchen garden. This is not as 1t should
be, for the garden, properly managed,
will at a tritling expense contribute in
large measure TO the health and comfort
of family. When labor Is scarce and
time limited the practice of large mar
ket gardeners Of performing much of
the work by horsepower may be imi-
tated with success even in small gar
dens. There are comparatively few
crops that require to be planted in beds.
To these small portion of the garden
can be devoted and the rest laid out for
horse work. This plan saves time in
measuring off and making beds and
plots and admits of q free use of plow,
drill and cultivator. Turning ground at
each end of the rows must of course be
allowed in this arrangement. Occa-
sional rows of currants, raspberry and
other small fruits may extend across
the garden parallel with the rows of
vegetables.
In setting out plants have a care that
sunny exposures are given 10 whatever
delights IN heat and sunshine, Under
tho partial shade of gooseberry or cur
rant bushes place such growths as thrive
best in tho shade, Use equal diserim-
ination in the application of manures.
II there is nothing moro to expend on
the garden than stable scrapings, the
refuse from the wood-pile, ashes and
q Io aIlraItn. -
to the crop they suit best and the am
monia where Il is most needed,
Where the requirements are for only
few plants for house use, and there Is
no hot-bed, early plants may be grown
In window boxes. Sow the seed in
boxes of light, rich soil and place where
there Is moderate warmth and plenty OF
sunlight. This insures an earlier and
safer crop in ATTITUDES where there Is
danger from late frosts. In sowing the
seeds avoid covering them too deep.
M. v. Bilek, an advocate for growing
cucumbers, beans, peas, caulillowerH
and the like in balls of moss or In order
TO gain an early crop, describes the proc
ess as praotised in Germany, in a for
eign exchange. The seeds are started
in frame, and when a little grown are
lifted and the roots dipped into mix
ture of clay, chopped moss, water and
loan, and on withdrawal sprinkled with
| firm dry earth. "A piece OF moss is then
ilattened into the form of a plate and q
little earth sprinkled on IL. The pre-
pared plants are next placed on this
plate, the moss folded over the roots
and tied on so as TO form ball. Thus
balled up the plants are arranged OF
boards or shelves until the season fol
removing TO the open air comes. Thi
advantages claimed for this somewha
elaborate process are the porousness o
the covering, the moss serving the pur
poses Of pot, tho ease of handling
and the benefits derived from not trans
planting, as the plant, moss-pot and al
are set in the ground.-N Y. World.

Restored to Sight-A Methodist Preach
er Who was Born Blind.

AsTRANGE caseof hereditary blindness
and the acquisition of sight after being
(from birth) for thirty-siX years in total
darkness, came under the notice of a
reporter of this paper yesterday, during
a visit to the Missouri State Institute for
the Education Of the Blind, on Morgan
Street. M. +. Wells is the name of the
man in whose life the happy change has
been made by the removal of cataract
from one of his eyes. The operation
was performed by DIR. Williams, who
has the satisfaction of shedding Joy and
light upon an understanding to which
the beauties of nature have hitherto
been unknown. The operation differed
in no respect from that usually per-
formed in such cases, and the interest
ing circumstances alone center in the
history of the disease, which was CLEANED
from the patient at the institute yester-
day. Mr.. Wells said that he resided in
Southwest Missouri and gained his live
lihood by preaching. He was connected
with the Methodist Protestant Church.
He was born in North Carolina-born
blind. His father and mother were
blind and their parents were blind. He
could not trace the disease further back
in the family. He was thirty-siN
years of age and had never, until
after the operation, been able to see in
any respect. Could he see the reporterP
He raised the shade from his left eye
the one from which the cataract had
been removed-and said he could, and
he gave a description of his questioner's
face. The eye looked clear but eX-
pressionless, for the retina, from dis
use for SO many years, was insensitive
except to the light, and that only TO a
slight degree. Like muscle or organ
long disused, the retina must be trained
to its use gradually, and Mr.. Wells is
under instructions to be slow in exer-
cising it. The right eye, upon which
the cataract still remains, looked a
whitish-brown color, and for all the use
1t is to its possessor, it might rs well be
hazel-nut. OF course it should be
remembered that the eyes were perfect
at birth, and have been 80 still, and that
but for impairment by cataracts the
sight would have been natural. Be-
sides his parents and grandparents be-
ing blind, three of Mr.. Wells's children
are blind and are Mt present inmates
of the educational establishment on
Morgan Street, and two have their
sight.
DIR. Williams is confident that the
acquisition of sight will be complete,
although necessarily slow. The condi-
ton OF Mr.. Wells will therefore be
much like that of child, as he will
have to learn names of objects he sees.
Should he, however, close his eyes and
trust to that keen sense of feeling which
he has by years. practice acquired, he
can call the names of obiects.--St.

value Of Red Glover.

VERY few plants produce as much OF
as valuable food for stock as red clover.
It makes excellent hay, although It is
more difficult to cure than the common
grasses. Hogs will not do well on,
grass, but they win thrive in clover
pasture. They will even eat quantities
of clover after it is cured. The cheapest
way to keep hogs during the summer is
TO give them the run of a clover pasture
well supplied with water. Clover pro-
duces large amount of milk which has
pleasant aroma. Sheep are very fond
of clover, either in the green or dried
state. Clover affords in this region ex-
cellent pasturage for all kinds Of stock
late in the season. Many of the grasses
that produce much food in the early
part Of the season afford very little after
the drouth that ordinarily prevails dur
ing August. Clover, however, takes a
second start, and grows very rapidly
on the occasion of the first considerable
rainfall.
Most crops exhaust the fertility of the
soil very rapidly, but growing clover
tends to render land more productive.
No plant produced by farmers takes 80
large a proportion of its sustenance
from the atmosphere as clover. Il ap-
propriates various gases, hurtful to man,
from the air, and supplies the places
they occupied with oxygen and perfume.
The roots of clover extend deep into
the ground, and bring to the surface
substances that the roots of other plants
do not reach. On these accounts clover
is the best crop to raise for plowing
uudor The eboaraeA 20 NOT tbn r,,,so1-4
est way to render worn-out soils pro-
ductive is to raise a crop of red clover
on them and to turn it under the second
year after sowing. A somewhat slight
dressing of barn-yard manure or COM
mercial fertilizers, followed by plaster
as top dressing, win cause luxuriant
growth of clover which contains nearly
all the elements of fertility.
In many parts of Europe, and in
some sections of this country, clover
seed is sown in the fall. But our climate
is not favorable to this practice. Unless
there are timely rains during the early
part of autumn, the plants make a
small growth before the approach OF
cold weather. In an open winter like
the present one they have no protection,
and the repeated freezing and thawing
of the soil causes the roots to be thrown
out and killed. Red clover seed should
be sown as early in the spring as the
soil is in condition to be stirred. Some
advocate sowingit it on land prepared the
previous fall, and allow the frost and
rain to cover it. Others sow it on late
snow, if there chances to be one. While
clover seed should be in the ground
very early in the spring there is little
gain in the matter of growth in sowing
It before the frost is out of the ground.

A Gypsy,s Horrible ReYenge.

A FEW weeks ago a respectable old
peasant farmer in Roumelia, smitten by
the charms of a young gypsy girl be-
longing to a tribe that had squatted in
the neighborhood of his farm, induced
the maiden TO listen to his addresses,
and finally obtained her consent to be-
come his wife. He received several
warnings from sundry OF her gypsy low
ers, couohed In threatening termsi but
was so infatuated by her surprising
beauty that he disregarded these moni-
tions and married her. On his wedding
night a number of stalwart gypsy.
youths broke into his house, seized him
In his bridal bed, bound him to q plank,
and deliberately sawed him in two
having previously strangled his young
Me before his eyes. On the same
night the tribe struck its tents and de-
camped, nor have the authorities as yet
succeeded in laying hands upon the
perpetrators of the crime.
