work. One thing is certain, and that
10 that Nr. Parnell has lost caste dur
ing the past week, and that, however
commendable and pnro his political
motives may be, he is no longer re-
garded ia The United States as the
almoner Of Tie Irish famine fund.
There are thousands, and | think /
would be safe in saying hundreds Of
thousands in this country to-day,
fully as we'll qualified to Judge OF
Irish necessities and Irish aspirations
as Nj. Parnell or Mr.. Dillon; men
whose pfincely gifts will outweigh
their contributions, and his sacrifices
for her advancement have been great
er and more acknowledged than their
own. The United States win give
freely and quickly. There will be no
need for second call. But no shall
low politician can control the gener-
sous outburst Of a mighty nation for
his own selfish pnrposes-when the
cry Of starving millions is raised for
bread, and the answering cry goes

The week just past has been event
full it not startling. The storm; of
Sunday night has strewn the shore
with wrecks, and almost left our fa-
vorite summer resort, coney, Island,
in ruins.
An organized gang Of forgers,. Of
the most dangerous class, has been
broken up, and general overhanling
is taking place Of all our elemosyDary
institutions. There is no mistake in
supposing that many of them will be
better for little daylight. On Ran.

The weather is trying, the streets
are terrible, good language is seldom
heard, and profanity is largely on the
increase ; business is fair, stocks firm,
and the ladies are now inquiring
about the spring fashions.
A reaction ls taking place for the
Rev. Mr.. Cowley, of the Shepherds
Fold, whose case has occupied 90
much of the public attention for the
past two weeks. Cowley is not .
saint, far from it, he is nearer, per-
haps, that other fellow who keeps
the tavern where saints don't put up,
but although bis case looks bad, very
bad, Jet according to our laws, he is
entitled to asfair and impartial trial,
and his sentence is not supposed to
commence till after his trial is fin-
ished, but Cowley has been made to
suffer already, all and more than he
will be called to suffer in States prison.
On Tuesday last, when conducting
him to Court, there was no fear that
he would escape, but the petty tyrant
in charge of the prisoners, handcuffed
him to a common thief. If he is guilty.
