Distressed Ireland-Good Effects of the
 Relief Measures Loans
 The Applications for Aid.
 LONDON, Feb. 9.-A dispatch to the Times from Dublin says: The last week added but little to the evidences of extreme distress, while it has largely augmented the resources of the relief committees and provisions of the Government for meeting the crisis. The bone fcial effect of the relief committees is to be seen in the quieter tone of the press and the cessation of the cry of alarm heard month or two ago. There are still deplorable accounts from some districts. but there is generally more hopeful spirit among the people. Though there is still great cause for anxiety and for vigilant attentions to signs of suffering which may appear in unexpected quarters, the extent to which landowners have embraced the oppor- tunity of obtaining loans on easy terms is sufficient proof that the supposed barrier of red tape has not been thought insurmountable During the past week the number of new ap- plications reached two hundred, and the amount applied for was $555, ,000, which, added to the previous total amount of $1, ,325, ,OOO, makes total of $1, ,8S0, 900 since the 22dof November.
 The first issue of one-ffth of the amount applied for has been made to many applicants and in cases where the Board of Public Works are satisfied with the security they send cir cular in advance to borrowers, enabling them to anticipate the issue. It will be satisfactory to the public also to know that the Board take care that the laborers~ employed are paid in cash, and that the amount of the first issue has been expended in substantial work of equivalent value before they give the second installment. MT. Charles s. Parnelps attacks on the relief committees are condemned even by some of his most ardent admirers. The Irishman (newspaper) strongly deprecates his language about the Mansion House Fund

No One Can Breathe with safety

Air impregnated with the seeds of fever and
ague. unless provided with a medicinal safe
guard against the ruinous disorder. That time
honored and highly sanctioned preventive, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, has won by merit the
first place among medicinal preparations of an
ant-spasnedic action, and is particularly es-
teemed in localities where the scourge of fever
and ague is most severely felt. A course of this
benign remedy invariably results in expelling all
traces Of the febre virus from the system, and as
the medicine is purely botanic and free from all
deleterious ingredients it is much to be preferred
to quinine or other prescribed remedies; the effect
of which is temporary and which are calculated
to produce baneful after effects. AS a tonic and
Alternative the Bitters incompatible, terrifying
the system against disease and regulating its va
rious functions with certainty and speedily. Its
effects are not trsnstory, but permanent and de-
eisYe.

A Lovers Revenge.

When James Lick was a young man
he fell in love with miller's daughter,
in Pennsylvania. Young Lick faced
the stern old miller and asked the
hand of his daughter. Now James
was poor young man, but honest and
industrious, and withal full Of pride.
The man refused to grant James re-
quest, and advised him not to marry
until he had competency to support
wife. These remarks were rather
humiliating to young Lick's pride, and
with emphasis he replied; Sir, shall
see the day when your boosted mill
would not make respectable wheat
bin for one shall OWL" Years passed
and James Lick erected in Santa Clara
county, Cal, mill, the woodwork OF
which is solid mahogany Shortly af-
ter its erection ne had photographs
taken of the inside and outside of his
mill. and sent them to the miller who

DYING WITH HIS CHARGE.
The story of a Dog that stood ssuard
Over a Child on a Railroad Track.

A gentleman just returned from Can
ada tells the following story:
"a day or so ago the engineer of Il
train near Montreal saw large dog on
the track, barking furiously. The en-
gineer whistled, but the dog paid no at
tention to the noise, and refused to stir.
The dog was run over and killed. The
engineer observed that the animal
crouched close to the ground as he vas
struck by the cowcatcher. \ minute
later the fireman saw bit of white
muslin huttering on the locomotive,
and he stopped the engine. On going
back to where the dog was killed it was
discovered that not only the dog, but
a little child, had been killed. 1t was
seen that the dog had been standing
guard over the child, and had barked
to attract the attention Of the engineer.
The faithful animal had sacrificed his
life rather than desert his charge. The
child haL wandered away from a neigh
boring house, followed by the dog, and
it is supposed that the child lay down
and went to sleep on the track.

that these trees, by their dense shadow,

that he has requested Mr.. Clay to trim
them, but without effect. Mr.. Clay
claims that the trees arc necessary to

MR.. SAMM'S RIGHTS.

ture with an Uncomfortable Finale.

A gentleman from Illinois while see
ing the sights of New York last night
found himself us all gentlemen from
the interior do, seeing double as much
as he expected He gave his name as
Albert Samms, and was brought up be-
fore Justice Wandel in the Jefferson
Market Court this morning, evidently
much against his will, by officer Haugh-
cy, of the Twenty ninth Precinct, who
also escorted sad-looking female who
called herself Jennie Herbert. The
officer in reply to the magistrates in
Quiry as to the charge against the
prisoners, said that while on duty at
Sixth avenue and Twenty-siXth street III
the morning, he heard cry for the
| police, and running down the street,
| came across the man and woman. The
man was shouting police, saying that
he had been robbed. The woman was
standing near by but the man was too
much intoxicated to say whether she
had robbed him or not.
The Judge here took the matter il
hand
"Where do you live when you're at
home, Mr., Samms?' queried his Honor,
''In Illinois, judge, said Samms in a
doleful voice.

prison to settle the matter in his mind.
