The Manhattan Market covers too much
ground to admit of the most effective treat
ment, but the Fulton Market square Is so
much smaller, and is SO showIiy situated,
that handsome structure that Will catch the
eye from the river can easily be put to-
gether.
The ladies must not be overlooked even In
Presidential year, when the demand for
political Extras and campaign documents
is most urgent; and so, notwithstanding

The sensational nature of much of the Irish
news which has been received from London
during the last fortnight is shown Ivy the cx-
PLANTATION made this morning of Mr.. Forster's
journey to Dublin. The first tldings took this
form: Receipt of dispatch containing serious
news; hurried consultation of Chief Secretary
for Ireland and his colleagues; abrupt de-
parture for Dublin by first steamer. The sen
sation now dwindles 10 this: Mr.. ForSters
visit is made in consequence OF al engage
ment with the Under-Secretary several
months ago. The reports Of alleged Fcnian
demonstrations seem to have been exaggerated
in the same reckless manner. The incidents
are now pronounced paltry. The land a9ita-
ton is the only real Irish question at the
present time. and so long as it remains I'M
settled a feeling Of unrest and uncertainty
will pervade the unhappy island. 1t may be
that the bOlder spirits are counSelilng reyoiu-
tionary movements, but we see no reason to
apDrchcnd any serious outbreak at present.
If the Fcniaus intend TO fight they are quick
wittcd enough to choose their own time. 1t
will be an hour when they can expect to ac-
complish something. They can scarcely hope
to serve Ireland by premature and absurd
movement.
Mr.. Whites closing letter from Silver Cliff
is a treatise in itself ON the sound principles
on which mining must be conducted in order
to be permanently successful. He finds the
Hardscrabblc District one in which hundreds
can be squandered and hundreds Of thousands
safely invested. The prospect holes that are
bought only by fools are a drug in the mar
ket, and the good mines command prices be-
yond the reach OF small spectators. The
young man from Ohio, whose adventures our
correspondent relates, found ont in eleven
DAYS that he would need 800 600 to give
him n good start in the mining business.
Capital is needed not only for the purchase
OF good properties hut also to NEE. the cx-
penses of operating the mines, building le-
duction works and paying for freight and
labor. Capital being indispensable, it should
only be invested after the same precautions
have been taken and tie same business rrin-
ciplos applied which are brought INTO use IN
establishing amy sound mercantile enterprise.
The oyerstocllns OF good properties and pre-
mature OUTLAWS for improvements are errors
of judgment which Will be avoided whenever
mining investments are governed by sound
business principles. We hope every reader of
