IL during the next fortnghtwe should read OF other
parents IN different parts Of the country killed py
their children The statiscians. with their theories
and their passion for reducing figures 70 axicms'
might refer this accumulation OF similar occur
rences TO an axiom, so that given tue
same group Of causes, precisely the same
group of effects would follow. snch large
and diTusive generalization Is amusing, but II may
be doubted whether it is much more. For instance
there IS no reason to believe that there is the least
connection between the matrcide in Boston and the
patrcide in Lyons Again if to-day, in New-1ork'
daughter should kill her mother and in Pbiladei'
phia another daughter should kill her father IL
would be impossible to deduce any rule from these
concurring deeds. except a supertluous one OIL tne
infirmity of human nature. Tc be sure various
fanciful theories might be set forth, all oereh''
and one as good as the other; none OF them proo-
ably would have any value whatever. 1t is easy 10
accumulate great heaps of statstcs-it Is aui'e an
other matter to employ them accurately.

he parricularly and severely commented upon was
the absence of q fre-escape. This would have saved
limb and much suffering, II not life Ii is painful
TO read of those who eaped from tho building, and
thus sustained great bodily injury or encountered
another death than that from which they were
rosbng. What IS worst about such casualty as this
is that it may be repeated again and again.
Il has occurred 30 often already that there
is no novelty about it, II has ceased 10 startle. 1t

momentary shock. This would be less intoerable

There is d kind of coincidence which the longest
experience IN journalism helps nobody to compre-
hend phllosophically. THIS is the tendency of
crimes. accidents and the like to run in grooves.
Sometimes there is a succession of remarkable mur-
ders; sometimes of suicides; now railway acci-
dents come TO the fore now defalcations now
mysterious disappearances. We are no sooner par
italy recovered fIom the horror of the in Bos-
ton in which young lady, in state Of semisom-
nambulism, shot her mother, than we are again
shocked by an equally Distressing account of the
murder of her father by MISS Frances Haven, OF
Lyons, whois supposed to be insane. That nothing
of the tragic might be lacking. the girl Immediately
after committing the deed put bullet into her OWL
brain, and she, too, is since dead She was undoubt
edly insane. Now, it would not be at all surprising

Mayor Cooper's message to the new Board OF
Aldermen spoke strong word of condemna-
ton for the practice of granting valuable
franchises without proper compensation TO the
eity. The last Board took the view, appar-
entity. that proper compensation to the Alder
men was all that was required, but we hope
for better things from the new body.

blushing bride. For several days
past this gang Of disullers have
been holly pursued by the rev.
enue raiders-in fact, SO closely
we're they followed that it was found
inconvenient to stop in the daytime.
When they reached the widest and
most inaccessible part of Alexander
county they sent two men to do picket
duty, while the chief of the band d.
rected two others to go on a scouting
tour for a minister to perform the
marriage ceremony. They rode
twenty. seven miles, and finally sue
ceeded in finding Rev. Daniel Daw-
erich, a Baptist minister. They
begged the minister to go with them,
stating hal they had a very i'll
friend who wanted to be married so
that his afianced might get his for
tuneif he died. The men were gentle
manly, and the minister, ignorant of
their character, accompanied them.
When he got to the rendezvous he
IA asked to perform the ceremony as
quickly as possible, and he did so.

on the shoulder and gave MIN fifty
dollars in gold, after which the aston.

"At present the active party is by
far the most popular party in Ireland.
They have a leader of singular ability,
and of still more remarkable fitness
for the place he holds. Mr.. Parnell
has a parliamentary capacity which
may almost be described as genius.
He has been compared to Smith
0'Brien, but he has infinitely greater
capacity than Smith 0'Brien had, and
indeed resembles Smith O'Brien in
nothing hat | can see, except his
absolute sincerity. He is eaten up
with the zeal Of his purpose, and his
devotion makes him indomitable. He
has greatly improved in speaking since
he entered the house, but he only aims
at beinga debater, and never makes the
slightest attempts lat beingeloquent. Mr..
Parnell has a cause, and is terribly in
earnest about it. He is a positive ter
ror to some of his colleagues. They
dread him far more than the occupants
OF the treasury bench do"
In the cause 10 which he is engaged
in America, Mr.. Parnell has exhibited
all the zeal and earnest determination
which marked his political course in
England. Under his appeals in behalf
Of the starving poor in Ireland the
people have been aroused to deep
interest, and the response to his
demands has been liberal. But a
great deal is needed. The cable dis
patches show that famine is imminent
in that lovely island, and all that the
generous people Of America can do
will be needed.

Mr.. Parnell, who is now but thirty
three years of age, was born in the
county Of Wicklow, Ireland. He is
descended, on the maternal side, from
Rear Admiral Stewart, who was dur
ing the war of 1872 afectionately
termed "0ld IronSides,' and whose
family were among the most devoted
adherents of the independent colo
MES. They have at all times advocated
the freedom of ireland. Mr.. Parnell
was educated at Cambridge university,
and made high sheriff of Wicklow soon
after graduating. In l874he contested
Dublin county as a nationalist candi-
date in the home rule interest, but
was defeated. The next year he was
put forward for Meath to succeed
John Martin, whose death had de-
privrd the nationalist Of achampion.
He had no opposition, but combined
the active and hearty support of Pro.
testants and Catholics, and, although
Protestant himself, has retained the
unwayering support OF the Catholic
clergy ever. since. Hemade his debut
in parliament. and sat silentfor a year.
Here he undertook to be heard, and
Was met with that snubbing opposition
which the majority in that assembly
always raise against a newcomer
among their adversaries. His deter
mination conquered, however, and
thus was formed the obstructive y
or Z" active" party, Of which he is the
recognized leader. The New Quarter
ly Magazine of London sums up the
party and its leader thus:
