While the HERALD reporter is fond of items
ofmost any kind, he would regret very much
to find it necessary to chronicle the death BY
drowning of one Of the small boys who
spend most of their time in the Trinity river
above the railroad bridge. Small boys arr
amphibious BY nature during the summer,
but at the same time the place where they
swim is dangerous one, and the reporter
would not be surprised at any time to hear
that one or more Of them have gone under.

OVER THE WATER.
Remarkable Scenes in Connection
with the Administration OF Law
I'm Ireland.

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
DUBLIN, Nov. 15.-One Of the most
remarkable scenes ever witnessed in con-
nection with the administration Of law in
this country was presented at the Office Of
the Land Commission on Saturday, which
was the last day for receiving applications
for a reduction. Of rent for November.
After this reductions count from the next
rent day in March or May. Over 10000
applications were received during the day
and night. The Court sat until midnight,
and applications came from all parts. One
lawyer presented 1900 from Ulster and
another 1000 from Galsay, Tipperary and
Cork. About 1000 came from Kerry and
2,0Oe from Donegal. In fact, there was
not a county in Ireland but what sent ap-
plications. Batches of fresh cases came
by every train. C%uriously enough, among
the latest arrivals, about IL o'clock, was q
pile from Parnell's own county. Wicklow.
Yet it would be a mistake to consider this
rush Of cases as a breakdown Of the in
fluence of the League. Thousands are not
paying rent, although all that the majority
Of the latter class ask is a liberal reduc-
ton. 1t can only be a question OF time
when they will come into Court after the
Court has given a reduction or their de-
mand. Meanwhile there may be much trou-
BILE with the most c~ontumacious tenants.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-11-16
THE REAL SITUATION.

As the people of the North and the
South are brought more into association
with one another, the less there remains
Of prejudice and e~strangement between
the two sections. The market for lies,
at the expense of the Southern people,
is not as good now as it used to be, and
the time Of mutual goodwill is approach
ing when il will be destroyed altogether.
The situation in South Carolina, the
"hot-bed OF secession" is thus truth
fully given in the Charleston News and
Courier, "South Carolina is an old
fashioned place in some respects. The
people know what their rights are, and
they are ready to maintain them. But
il a visitor is upright, cultivated and
true they nc more think Of asking him
whether he is a Democrat or a Republi.
a than they would have thought, in
the olden times, Of removing a faithful
and capable Federal officer because there
had been a change Of President or a
change in the fortunes OF political par
ties. Other things being equal, the
visiting Republican is the same to us al
the visiting Democrat, and we always
have a fattering idea that, if he remained
here and had the same interests, he
would vote with US on election day."

THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY.
A Tax Collector I'm Zion Strikes h
Wrong Man.

A Tax Collector I'm Zion Strikes the
Wrong man.
Sam. Davis, the funny man OF the salt
Lake Tribune, is guilty Of the following
true story:
A tall, lanky, telegraph species OF man
stuck his head in the door OF an Eighth
Ward house yesterday, took out q lead
pencil. and a long book, and said to .
freckled woman who was trying to boil
down some soft soap:
MADAM, is the head Of the house in
You bet your life. Tommy get away
from that cradle, or I'll stuff you full OF
clothes pins"
"what are the initials, madam, Of the
head Of the house?"
"P. G.. Garrick."
The man scribbled a moment and then
| tore out a g Of the book and handed 1t
| to the woman. She looked at tia moment,
gave a preliminary screech, and then
yelled /:
"You scragged imp Of Satan, how in
the devil do you suppose I'm agoln to use
a pick an shovel on the public highway.
Do you"
"Why, madam, L"
Al YOU alo PoAeO"' eoiieS'oA' "a -
Ye divil-"
"Allow me to explain this matter,
madam. Didn't you say you were thu
bead of the"
"That's jist what I said, and if We doub'
me. We insipid polecat, you come on; come
on, ye blackguard."
She then landed a sledge hammer on his
proboscis. Then the ~cannonading com
menced, and in less Than five minutes q
poll tax collector was ont under the trees
Of the sidewalk trying to mop his eyes,
pick soft soap out of his ears, and listen to
q harangue by q frenzied woman, who
stood half a block away.
Life seemed a farce and tax collecting q
thing of no joy.

AMERICAN FORBEARANCE.

1t seems probable that our State De.
partment will have to favor the Mexicans
with a little sound advice ere long, for
they are rapidly drifting into q habit Of
ignoring American rights in a very i'm
pertinent manner. The dispossession Of
an American mining company at San
Felinto is the latest exhibition of this
high-handed style of procedure, and. as
usual, remonstrances have had about as
much effect as water would have on a
ducks back. There are not many nations
lying around loose from which the United
States is likely to accept an affront
tamely, and she certainly will not toler.
ate from Mexico imp~ertinences which
would be promptly resented in the case
Of a stable and reputable power. The
Government of that country may have
forgotten, but many Of the citizens of
this have not, that a domiciliary visit
was paid to her territory . few years
ago with very salutary results.
