Cautious Railroad Men.

The conductor and engineer Of 4 pas
senger train on the U. +. r. X. each
has taken his turn at giving currency
to a standing joke on the other. The
engineer wears spectacles, and the afore-
said conductor is authority for the state
ment that a fly having alighted on one
glass of the ''gig lamp the engineer
mistook it for a buffalo on the track
and threw on all the force of his air
brake to avert the threatened disaster.
The story has gone the rounds and many
a laugh has beeen enjoyed among the
railroad boys at the engineers expense.
He waited his time, however, for a
''rig" Oh the conductor, and it came at
last. The other evening the train was
at Central City and ready to leave,
when the CONDUCTOR one of the most
careful and reliable men il the employ
of the railroad-saw in the distance as
he fancied the locomotive headlight of
an approaching freight train. He had
received no notification of meeting the
train at that point but that headlight
was a fixed fact and the conductor
waited patiently for some ten or twelve
minutes, when an idea seemed to strike
him and he shouted "All aboardln and
proceeded on his journey. When the en-
gineer finds his conductor now sur
rounded by a group of railroad men he
smiles blandly and says: gentlemen,
X--is the safest man 1 ever ran
with. Venus is twenty million miles
away and he waited twelve minutes on
a side track at Central City the other
night to allow her to pass. "-Omaha

A Courtship in Paris.

young lady requested requested him to
wait a few minutes in the drawing
room till her mamma was prepared to
receive him. They looked; no sooner
looked but they loved; no sooner loved
but they sighed; no sooner sighed but
they asked one another the reason. He
asked her would she like to be marriedp

The Voice.

From Hygiene OF the Voice.
Socrates OWNED the quality of a
mans voice mind or soul by the tone
of his voice, and all students remember
his expression: ''Speak, that I may see
yon." DIR. Durant explains character
by voice, and tells us these facts:
We perceive in a sufferer one that
is easily enraged, and as easily paciied,
vain, oficious, inconstant and ordinari-
ly quick. A person whose utterance is
thick and coarse, is malicious, cunning
and %disdainful.
A coarse voice incates a robust ply
sique, a great talker, quick tempered,
though c~onspicuously discreet.
A piercing, fine or weak voice is in
dicative of timidity, cunning, and gen.
orally of quick wit.
An attractive and clear voice express
es a man who is prudent, sincere and
ingenious, but proud and incredulous;
whereas, a firm voice, without harsh
ness, denotes a person who is robust,
intelligent, circumspect and benevolent.
A man possessing a trembling and
h~esitating voice is timid, weak, vain
and sometimes jealous.
: A voice combining great sound and
firmness indicates a man who is strong,
a%udacious, rash, obstinate and self-im-
portant.
A sharp and rude voice in singing as
well as..in conversation, denotes n coarse
mind, inferior judgment and strong APP
petites.
A hoarse voice, seemingly the effect
of a cold, signifies a person more simple
than wise, credulous and truthful, vain
and inconstant.
A full and sweet voice denotes man
who is peaceful, inclined to timidity,
discreet and self-willed.
A voice at first grave and then sharp
and piercing, denotes the quick temper
of an impudent man.
A soft, sweet voice is found in n per-
son of a peaceable and suitable char
actor.

GAMBETTA is not as popular as he
was, but he is not SO far reduced as the
~cablegrams have represented him. The
hostile accounts of Gambetta come
from the Paris correspondent of the
London Times. From London they
are telegraphed here. The aforesaid
correspondent is an anglicised German,
and retains a bitterness of feeling
toward the French republic, which he
never fails to attack on the slightest
opportunity. Hence his statements
must be discounted literally before
being believed.

i. the GEM or THE SEA,

'when Ireland arose from the deep rolling
food,
God blessed the Green Island; lie saw 1t was
good.
The Emerald OF Europe. 1t sparkied and
shone,
In the crown OF the world. Its most beautiful
stone"
The above stanza of a beautiful but
rebellious song, fifty describes the ISL
and Of Ireland. 1t is indeed beautiful.
1t is with justice called the Emerald
Isle. 1t is worthy of the encomiums law
ished upon it by its enthusiastic sons.
It's green fields are visible at u great
distance to the navigator as he ap-
proaches from over the ocean, and they
justify the appelation bestowed by the
admirers Of the Seem of the Sea-
But what has all this amounted to?
Where and what is Ireland to-day?
She is not like Insignificant states of
Europe, or even a third rate power
She is no power at all. Her name does
not appear on the list of nations. Ire
land is simply a component part of
the British empire; occupying even as
a dependency, a very inferior position.
She is, 1t is true, a portion of a great
empire, but a sighted, down trodden
and insulted portion. Her connection
with England is and has been that of a
dependency. The union has ever been
to the disadvantage of Ireland. Her
best interests have been sacrificed, and
her..rights subverted by the general
government. The course pursued by
England has not only been iniquitous
but cowardly. at times of great ma
tional peril, when all the of
the nation were required to ward off
impending danger, the British parlia-
ment has extended the olive branch
and made oyertures which were eager
ly and cordially accepted by the Irish.
After the danger was over these pro-
jected measures of reform were neglect
ed and Ireland left to the same system of
misrule and oppression as before.
For more than three centuries has
Irish treasure been squandered and
Irish blood lavished for the benefit of
England. 1t is time in this late age
Of the world that Irishmen receive
some benefit from the of their
W country.
"Ireland for the Irishr is The appro-
pirate watchword for the impending
revolution. Ireland for her own child
rem, and above all, Irish acres for Irish
farmers. The produce of Ireland's
fields for those who cultivate them and
remain at home to scatter among Irish
hearthstones the wealth that Irish
labor has produced.
Let the people of Erin take a decided
stand on this question; let the seven
millions of Irishmen in this country
give their material ai6 and c~ountenance
and let all of Irish blood and of Irish
name, and all who sympathize with
brave men strive to rectify an atrocious
wrong; unite to achieve Irish equality
and Irish Independence and restore the
''glories Of Brian the brave.n
