Misery in London. rEduard Kipo's etta1s i, Roesto,, Jts,,

lEdward King Letter in Boston Journal.
 The great snow-storm continues at inter vals, and the West end is patrolled by gangs of stalwart men who stand in front of the fine old mansions and sing, very much out of key and with most dolorous accents: We've got no work to do-o-o; we've got no work to do" This is, of course, delicate intiina- tion to the master of the house to send them meat and drink, or, better still, the money to buy drink. The moment there is trouble among the thousands who live by odd jobs along the river, the public houses are full. The abject appearance of these unttractive drinking dens filled with men, women and children, covering on the comfortless bench es, with pots of beer or glasses of spirits in their hands, is indescribable No city in America affords the spectacle of such hope less and seemingly useless degradation as may be observed now any day, even at cer- tain hours on Sundays, and all Sunday even ing, in this largest city in the world. Old women, begging and cursing those who give nothing, and spending what aims they re- ceive in getting drunk; young girls overcome with liquor and tumbling against the sides of drink men singing and swearing at one mo-
 ment, and, perhaps, fighting the next-all this may be seen on public and respectable throughfares in London any evening. My ''shoot em- down. friend came in the other evening, after walking down from the Prin- CCoo GuSdGSI, duu ooCldiSu Ll1dG aG uitu AoN SE before seen so much rioting and drunkenness, and, at the same time, so much misery, in q single walk in London, in all his life Huh dreds of women and children who were driven out of their dwellings on the banks of the Thames by the recent phenomenal rise in the waters of the historic river have come up to the Strand, Charing Cross, Regent street and the various avenues near by these principal places and often at 10 o clock at night the steps of every third or fourth house are encumbered by pale, silent group of wo- men, with babies asleep in their laps. Some times the spectacle of all this misery, and more especially oh these cruelty stormy days, seems almost intolerable. But the hustle of the metropolis the necessity of moving on unless one wishes to be run over and the hundred expressing cares of daily life sweep cannot live in the United Kingdom long, however, without being profoundly impressed with the fact that 1t is country where vast numbers of people are daily without enough to eat, and not from any fault of their own, but because of @ vicious social system. which permits the absorption of riches and comforts by single class. Hunger is the demon that stalks abroad, and prompts two-thirds of the vice in London It is hunger that even con- tributes the most powerful influence to make the wretched people drink; for those who are always poorly nourished and badly shel- tered find 8 certain rude joy in the exhilara- ton of stimulants which it is impossible for them to resist when it tempts them.

It was at first supposed they had frozen to death, but upon examination marks of vio- fence were found on Mrs. Crandalrs throat and body, leading to suspicion that Gran dall, who was very brutal to her, had driven her out and then pursued and killed both.

ParneIl Unsubdued Willing to Suffer
 Imprfsonment-Anoth Scare at VVtnd-
 sor-Head Centre Stephens Opposed to
 ParnelI's PoIicy-He Favors 8 Regular
 Fight.
 DUBLIN, Feb 2O.-Mr Parnell addressed very large land meeting to-day in Kings county. In the course of his speech he charged the English Cabinet with deliberate conspiracy and said that he would go to prison for his tenants sake.
 The Paris correspondent of the Standard reports conversation with James Stephens. The Fenian leader said that there was not the slightest foundation for the report that he had come to Paris to join Mir. Parnel He had never seen MT. Parnell, and had never sought or been asked to see him. Moreover, he did not agree with the policy of the Home Rulers. He considers their obstructionist manoeuvres in the House of Commons as un- worthy of an Irish party, undignifed, inn polite and calculated to alienate rather than to attract the sympathies of the people. He thought that, having consented to become members of the House, it was their duty to conform to the ordinary rules and not to get up an obstructive opposition which could do no practical good to the Irish cause nor prevent the ultimate action of the government. MT. Stephens disagrees with the opinien formed in certain quarters that Mir. Parnell had made a mistake in associating himself and his party with the Paris communists. He says that the question of religion is secondary one, and that the Irish think of their country before they think of the Church. MT. Ste phens added that if the League were obliged to establish their headquarters in Paris they might as well break up at once, since their practical influence on the Irish people would be annulled. He dislikes the Irish policy of the liberals. who, he says promise great deal and do little, whereas the conservatives promise little but do great deal.'' Relative to the general outlook of the Irish question, MT. Stephens was not very sanguine. He holds that an English Parliament is incapable of dealing with it. Ireland, he believes, will never get anything worth having from the House of Commons. The question will have to be set tied, to use his own words, ''by stand up fight. Once Ireland has gained her independ ence she will be happy to ally herself with England for Ireland and England" he added, 'are born to be allies, and can do more good to each other by being united than by being separated

Sxviftness of Birds on the Wing.
 EE,..c,,, StardaEd

Professor Newton considered that were seafowls satellites revolving around the earth their arrival could hardly be more surely cal culated by an astronomer. Foul weather or fair, hot or cold, the puffins repair to some of their stations punctually on given day, as if their movements were regulated by clockwork. The swiftness of flight which characterizes most birds enables them to cover vast space in 8 brief space of time. The common black swift can fly 276 miles an hour, speed which, if it could be main tained for less than half day, would carry the bird from it's winter to it's summer quar- ters. The large purple swift of America is capable of even greater feats on the wing. The chimney swallow-ninety miles per hour being about the limit of it's power but the passenger pigeon of the United States can accomplish journey of 1 1000 miles between sunrise and sunset. It is also true, as the in genious Herr Palmen has attempted to show, that migrants during long flights may be di- rected by an experience partly inherited and partly acquired by the individual bird. They often follow the coast line of the continent, and invariably take, on their passage over the Mediterranean, one of the three routes; But this they will not explain how they pilot themselves across broad oceans and is invalidated by the fact, familiar to every or nithologist, that the old and young birds do not journey in company Invariably, the young broods travel together, then come, af- ter another interval, the parents and finally the rear is brought up by the weakly, infirm, melting and broken-winged This is the rule in autumn. The return journey is accom- plished in the reversed order, The distance travelled seem moreover, to have no relation to the traveller. The Swedish blue throat performs it's maternal functions among the Laps, and enjoys it's winter holidays among the negroes of the Soudon, while the tiny ruby -throated humming- bird proceeds annu- ally from Mexico to Newfoundland and back again, though one would imagine that so delicate little fairy would be more at home among the cacti and agaves of the Tierre Caliente than among the frs and fogs of the north
