THE IRISH MEETING AT sTEINwAM HALL

ENTHI ISIAsTIC RECEPTION TO T. p. oCoNNoR AND

reception was given at Steinvay Hall last night
by the Land League of this city to j. 7. OConnor,
member of Parliament from Galway, and DIR.
Dillon Egan. The time set for this was a quarter
before s. Before 7 o'clock the street In
front of the hall was filled with persons
waiting for the doors to be opened. The
crowd llled the sidewalk both sides of the way,
leaving hardly enough room for the street cars to
pass, and extending almost to Fourth-ave, on tho
one side. and to irving-place on the other. There
not many women present. but the crowd was quiet
and well-behaved, and waited patiently
for the glass doors TO swing open, although, IN tho
meantime IT could look INTO the hall and see luxu-
rions policemen and committeeman enjoying chairs.
1t did not take more than half an hour, after the
line was in motion To ill Steinway Hall from gal
lcry to stage. Every seat in the room was taken,
and every available inch in the alsles
and on the platform was occupied. IL is certainly
no exaggeration to say that several thousand per-
sons were turned away at the door.
The women who were in the hall were on tho
main hoOr so that the men in the galleries made
themselves comfortable by taking of their
coats. The people in the audience were IN
conversational mood, and they addressed remarks
to each other and to the speaker with the greatest
freedom. Among those on the platform OF present
in the audience were Congressman William

Would Not Pay Duty.

Marie Van Zandt relates this droll in.
cident, which happened while returning
from Germany to France: 6 Running
the gauntlet at the Custom-house, | had
in my arms two enormous bouquets,
presented to me by some American
friends and composed of our National
colors, which, you know, are the same
as the French, and do you believe it,
those old Custom-house officers insisted
on my paying duty! For they hate the
French. you see, and meant to take re-
venge on my Door flowers which bore
the hated hues; but this stirred nv
American blood, and, mildly but firmly,
l refused their extortionate demand
and declaredI could not should not and
would not give them up. The argument
was getting quite serious, when, think
ing that an explanation of how came
by them might be soothing and having
exhausted my German tossed my head
back and gave them a little trill, then
initiated applause and threw the bou-
quets up and caught them again. The
gruff old fellow grunted and smiled and
'notioned for me to pass ON. The idea
had penetrated"

Enemies Of Spiders.

The wellknown naturalist, the Rev.
H. E. McCook, of Philadelphia, has been
talking to the Academy of that city on
spiders, which he designated as the
most benevolent of insects. Among the
principal enemies of the spider he emu
merated many of those hymenopterous
or four-winged flies, the bees, wasps,
etc, which produce f1esh-eating grubs.
Large numbers of spiders are used by
these species as food. The nest of one
of these forms was exhibited, built of
clay in such manner as to resemble
the pipes of Pan. When opened, these
nests were found filled with spiders of
different species. They were all para
lyzed by the fly, but not killed, and in
this state of suspended animation they
remain until the Matching out of the
grubs, which eagerly deyour them one
after the other. The unfortunate cap
tives lie limp in the jaws of the grubs,
showing no sign of sensation and MAX
ing no resistance. Other flies, and
among these may be included the CON-
mon black house fly, prey upon spiders
by destroying the cocoons or by suck
ing the contents of their eggs when
they happen to be uncovered or only
slightly protected. The eggs are also
devoured in large numbers by birds.
Some species of birds assist in prevent
ing the spread of spiders by making use
OF their webs, especially the thicker
portion used in the construction of CO.
coons, to build their nests. A birds
nest was exhibited composed of this
material In such quantity as to Indicate
the destruction of great many webs.
Those hymenopterous insects which de-
post their eggs in the cocoons of the
spiders are, however, their most de-
structive enemies. When the grubs are
Matched they attack the eggs and young
OF their hosts and consume them as
food, until sufficiently developed to OBJ
tain their nourishment.

Ira Bliss, of Stamford, Conn, died
in 1878, leaving portion of an estate
of $4,000 to the Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions of Pennsylvania.
The society had ceased, however, be-
fore his death, and the New York Pres
byterian Board of Home Missions
claimed it on the ground that they were
the successors of the Pennsylvania So
eiety. The matter was taken into the
courts, and it has just been decided that
the bequest had 1apsed.
The Boston School Committee has
resolved that corporal punishment in
the schools ought to be greatly dimin-
ished. 1t is hereafter to be inflicted only
by a principal, or by his express au-
thority. and only at a session subsequent
to that at which the offense was COM
mitted. The pupil must be told what
this is, and the principal must keep
record of al cases. Corporal punish
ment is absolutely forbidden in the
high schools, and with girls in the
grammar school.

A Successful Swindler.

Z Except an Irish landlord, says the
London World, no member of the peer
age is more to be pitied than Lord
Airlie. For several years past he has
been endeavoring to stop the career of
a clever adventurer, who has been
pleased to adopt the name of his eldest
son. Lord Ogilvy. and, under that desig-
nation. to run up debts, forge bills. and
swindle people generally in all parts of
the world. The number of applications
which Lord Airlie has received for
payment of my account from trades
men. who thought they were trusting
his SON and heir, is simply incredible.
These bills come in q perfect shower
from all parts of the Continent and the
United States; and although public no.
tees and warnings of all kinds have
been launched at the head of the I'M
postor, and once or twice he has actually
been arrested, yet, after q short time he
is certain to be found at his old tricks
again, and poor Lord Airlie is obliged
once more to explain to a phalanx of
clamorous tradesmen that they have
been duped and robbed. No real lord
was ever trusted half SO much as this
spurious one. His manners are said to
be distinguished" his personal APP
pearance is attractive, and with the
fair sex he has always been great hit.
Meanwhile the real Lord Ogilvy is al
ways with his regiment, the Tenth
Hussars. in India, not having half such
q good time of it as his double.

The Farmer in the Garden.

There are but few farmers who will
coaadescersd to work in their garden: il
is to them beneath their dignity. 80!
the women attend to that; I've some-
thing else to attend to-" Yet the foun-
dation OF good farming is sooner and
better learned there than on the farm
itself. Fine filth, heavy manuring, close
and prompt wedding, adaptation of the
labor to the demands of each vegetable
is but the commonest of garden work;
but no farmer ever thinks that these
little things (apparently) are all that
not only makes garden, but the farm
also.
Every one upon hearing of any unu-
sual occurrence is at once eager for the
particulars-the little points which went
to make up the whole affair-in fact, the
glst OF the matter. Now, too MANY
farmers do their work upon a grand
scale-the little minutes are left out:
why notleave out the raisins, the sugar.
the spice and the wine from the mince
pies? Why not slap together raw meat,
coarse flour, a little grease and pass off
the compound for q Christmas dainty ?
Ihe small matters so much neglected
of failure.
1t is good rule that when you have
finished piece of work you should 90
over it once more for luck, it is the last
time with the harrow, the hoe, the
spade or the manure-spreader which
gives the artistic, scientific finishing
touch to a job of work; and it is like
Peter Henderson's fifty-first load of ma
nure per acre-aaat's the one that trebles
the crops.
Gardening stamps this upon farm
er's mind.-Cor Germantown Tele-
