As WAS PREDICTED by the Prairie Far
ner last week, the attempt to tire out and
starve out the Irish obstructionists in the
House Of Commons was failure. After
a session Of forty one hours the speaker,
although he had been frequently relieved,
got tired himself, took the bit between
bis teeth, kicked over the traces of par
hamentary law and precedent, and refus-
ed to hear further debate from the Irish
members, although they had in no wise
exhausted their privilege" For doing
exactly what Gladstone did year ago,
the Irish members were suspended from
the House for one day, in honor of Brit
ish fair play and freedom of speech.
Meantime Michael Da7itt, the chief or
ganizer of the Land league, was arrest
ed and sent privately to prison, to serve
! out his seven years sentence, as q sus-
pected Fenian, in order that confinement
may complete what consumption has
| commenced. Meantime the Irish people
are calm, but indignant and determined;
the League business will be managed by
the women when the men are imprison-
ed, and the funds, which pour in at the
rate of S25, 900 week, have been trans
ferred to France in the name of neutral
parties, in order to save them from the
brave and valiant clutches of John Bull.
For Ireland the situation is hopeful. The
| high class magazines and the provincial
press are in favor of acceding to the de-
mands Of the Irish tenants, and now that
the organization is almost complete in
Ireland the agitation will be introduced
into England and Scotland, in whose
large manufacturing towns the Irish are
numerous. All the time, too, the night
mare of Fenianism will disturb the slum-
bers of John Bull, and the occasional
blowing up of public building will keep
him in mind Of the old grudge.

A VALUABLE COIN.

An expert coin dealer says the most
valuable modern coin is Confederate
States silver dollar, which is valued at
$1,000. There were only few of these
coins struck. The Confederate Govern
ment had the dies made and few coins
were struck at the New Orleans Mint for
the inspection of the Confederate official.
They found, however, that they had no
silver, and no more were coined. JEFF
Davis says he had one of these coins on
his person when he was captured, but
some one took possession of it-he does
not know who. Possibly it may be in
circulation yet as genuine coin of the
United States. One side of the coin was
in fact made with a regular die used in
the New Orleans Mint to strike off United
States silver dollars The other side was
specially devised for the purpose. The
legend reads: Confederate States of
America" There is shield, with bars
and seven stars, surmounted by liberty
cap. The shield is inclosed by wreath
composed of cotton aud sugar stalks.

THE Bangor Commercial says: A gen.
tleman who visited one of the ponds in
this vicinity last Sunday returned during
the thunderstorm. He relates his el-
perience as follows: ''Before / got home
made up my mind that should put on
Immortality, for, between horse that
took to stone walls every time it thun-
dered and lightning which seemed to
strike all around me, ! thought there
was little left for me in this world. Con-
sequently left off all my bad habits, in
Guiding rum and tobacco, but have taken
up part of them since, though [ don't

JAY GOULD'S ABILITIES AS
4 BEAR.

Jay Gould, had $4,000, 600 in money
Sept. l, 1873, and was then prepared to
hammer the market down-to send chill
ing fear through all the list. On the 5th
of September he appeared in the Ex-
cnange and began work. He first attack
ed gold; $500, 200. 900 was sold in one day
by himself and associates. The price fell
7cents, giving Gould an enormous profit.
He locked up his profits and his capital
and turned his attention TO the list of
stocks that had already weakened from 5
70 10 per cent. in sympathy with his
daring raid on gold. Distrust became
became general, small holders were shak.
en- out, timid ones sold out, and many
strong operators ranged themselves on
the "bear" side under Gould's leadership.
Western Union was the next object of
assault. He sold 40,000 shares short,
and down it went, tumbling 10 cents in
one hour, cleaning Gonld a half million
in sixty minutes. This was on the 18th
OF September, and by noon jay Cooke
failed. Then came riot and ruin. On
the next day the steadiest stocks dropped
like lead, and the staunchest houses coll
lapsed. By 8 p. N. there had been q
loss Of 800, 900, 900 in values since morn
ing, and money was worth 5 per cent.
day. Gould Hittedl like O vulture through
the black and sickening scenes, battering
mercilessly any stock that showed signs
OF vitality. The next day the banks sus-
pended, aud at u the Stock Exchange
closed doors-and the panic had settled
upon the country. II seemed impos-
sible to lift prices. There was money
enough but no confidence. The Cover
ment reissued $50, 900, 900 of greenbacks.
There were 1000, 900 bales of cotton in
the South and 1000, 900, 900 bushels of
wheat in the West, but there was no con-
fdence and everything Jagged. For over
three years there wassa depression in
everything. Stocks would rise bit and
then fall lower than ever until in April,
1877, bed rock was reached. 1t was then
estimated that the shrinkage il the lead
ing stocks in the street amounted to
$500, 900, 900, and over $1,000, 900, 900 Of
railway values had gone into the hands of
receivers.

BATTLE WITH A TARANIULA.

The tarantUla is the desperate Of the
spider family. 1t frequently attains the
size OF the hand, and with its great, glar-
ing black eyes, and frightful claws, sell
dom fails to present an appearance SO
formidable that sensitive lady. even if
used to seeing the tarantuly, viii scream
at the sight. The tarantula is, in fact,
only big spider, and usually makes its
home in the open pyanie, dwelling with
his family in a nest -eencealed beneath
the tall grass. IF you tackle him IN his
retreat, you viii very soon repent your
temerity, for he springs at you like a tt
ger, jumping to an astonishing height
sometimes three or four feet. He is one
of the most poisonous of the family of
the oraaei9oe, and his bite Is said to be
more fatal than that of the rattlesnake.
In settlement called Grapevine Prairie,
near Fort Worth, some time ago, the son
of a farmer named Featherstone was one
day occpied in gathering rocks on the
roadside. Upon overturning large flat
rock he was suddenly confronted by
large tarantula, the size of mans hand,
suugly ensconced in his nest along with
a number of young tarantulas. The big
one was yellow and black-striped, and
displayed the same inimitable color that
nature bestows on the ''beautiful snake. "
Selling good sized stick, Master Feath-
erstore attacked the enemy in his strong
hold, and was met with unexpected resist
ance; he succeeded in breaking off one
leg, or rather claw, of the deVil-fish of
dry land, but the tarantula, enraged,
sprang upon theNaggressor, and, quick as
thought, with his great black eyes glitter
ing with fendish ferocity, fastened him.
self on the boys hand and arm, both of
which swelled to three times their natur-
al size-so virulent is the poison of this
desperate of the prairies. The boy,
however, succeeded in killing the taran-
tula.

WHAT AN EARTHQUAKE DID.-A- -euri-
GUS result seems to ba8e folio we'd arecent
earthquake at Bucharest. The soil of
Bucharest is a rich, black. porous yege
table mound, ve-y springy under pres
sure, and carriages passing in street
cause a strong vibration in the adjacent
houses. The Grand Hotel Boulevard,
however, WIS an exception to this gen
eral rule, and in the rooms facing the
principal street, on which there is heavy
traffic, no sensible effect was felt from
passing vehicles. During the recent
earthquake the windows and crockery in
less massiveiy constructed buildings rat
tied very sensihly whereas there was no
audible sound in the hotel. Since the
earthquake shock, however, this state OF
things has changed entirely, and every
vehicle passing the hotel causes vibration
in the whole building. The singular part
of this change is that the effect produced
by the vehicle is the same as that accom-
panying the earthquake. 1T is not a jar
as previously produced in other buildings,
but swaying motion similar to THAI felt
in the late shock. This movement is SO
great as to cause pictures to sway back
ward and forward on the walls. The
hotel is one of brick, covered outside
with mastie, which would show at once
any crack in the walls. However there
is not crack in it. Hence, it is thought
this change in the sohdity Of the struc-
ture appears to be due to some effect
produced in the earth underneath the
building by the shock of the earthquake.

Fairs In England.

It is wonderful how completely the
old English fair has disappeared. Every
year the characteristics Of "merrie Eng.
land become more and more historical.
At EPSON races there are no more side
shows, no speckled boys, no fat women,
no dwarfs, giants, or living skeletons.
The Richardson show is gone. The in.
creasing crowds Of people amuse them
selves with plenteous potations of beer,
throwing sticks at cocoanuts, and shoot
ing from toy guns at targets. It is the
same at fairs even at Coventry Fair
there is almost nothing of the old time.
Lady Godiva is forbidden to lead her
procession through the town, however
thickly clad. The old Shrewsbury show
occasionally appears, but only as q ghost
Of its former self. The Lord Mayors
show holds out longest, but 1t is q sad
spectacle. Probably George Stephenson
is responsible for this hiding away Of
the fairies that used to dance and sing.
The railways have let in too much light
on their solitudes. The fragments Of
that strange past, picked up and set
a-playing like puppets at Albert Hall,
were amusing, but there was a sad side
TO them. Human nature devours its
own children, and sometimes plays with
their bones.
