UNEXPLAINABLE FACTS.

Affairs do 60 oddly in this world. The
other day there was a railroad disaster in
New jersey, whereby several persons
were badly hurt, but only one, as it
turned out, fatally He was a young
man of singularly industrious habits and
most unselfsh character. Upon his
labors an aged father and mother and
two sisters wholly depended for their
support. 1t was the ambition Of this
young man to give to his mother a deed
of the house which the family occupied.
To this end he had foregone marriage,
and toiled early and late: he personally
attended to the smallest housekeeping de-
tails, managing them all with the most
painstaking economy The family itself
had seen better days, and he was the last
prop left. His manly and selfsacrifcing
spirit had gradually impressed itself upon
the community in which he lived, so that
he was respectfully and kindly regarded
on every hand. He had been in one
place of service and trust for eight years,
and only life-and time seemed to be need
ed to enable him finally to secure the
end toward which all his energies were
bent. Well, out of eight carloads of
passengers he was the only one killed.
Sitting in the seat with him at the time
of the crash was a man who has said
since that he thought that he was ready
to die and that no one would have suffer
ed by his death, or, according to his own
perhaps excessive modesty, missed him.
This man was not even scratched, while
his fellow occupant of the same seat,
about whose life SO many interests were
linked, was SO hurt about the head that
even his remarkable natural strength
gave no hope from the first that he could
survive. Things do go strangely in this
World.-New York Post.

A PORK DIET IN MAINE.

A gentleman and lady in the 'month of
August boarded in an interior town with
a widow and her two daughters. Soda
bread hot at every meal and pork were
the diet; never bit of meat nor chick
en- killed, not an egg cooked, and never a
vegetable plucked from the garden, nor
milk offered in quantities to be drunk.
Other parties boarded two weeks on the
seacoast in the month Of August, and ate
hot soda bread and fish, nor once seeing
a bit of fresh meat OF any kind. The
cooking was excellent Of its kind, and
the table and house were as neat as wax
work. We heard gentleman say the
other day that in his fathers family OF
ten or twelve people in the family, at
least LOO pounds of pork were consumed
during the winter This beats the record
of old Judge Seward, of the last century,
who lived at York, and who recorded sub
stantially in one of his almanacs: Put
in 1900 pounds of pork for the winter,
the least amount [ ever put in.

BOER VICTORY.

The Dutch Beers of the Transvaal in
South Africa achieved decisive victory
last week over the British forces sent
against them at Spitzkop. The loss of
the English in the engagement was the
most serious Of the campaign. The Beers
fought with great determination and dis
played superior military tactics on the
field. General Colley commander Of the
British troops was among the killed. The
most moderate estimate places the num-
Der Of killed on the English side at 800,
while the Boer loss was much less. An
armistice is now talked of between the
contending parties with a view to the
settlement of the questions in dispute.
The Beers evidently will not quietly sub
NIT to the injustice and wrong they suf-
fer at the hands Of their English rulers

1t appears that our recent storm ex-
tended to Scotland. A dispatch dated
Glasgow, March 7th, says: 'No such
storm is remembered within a century as
the one that ragged in Scotland from
Thursday to Saturday. Twenty vessels
were wrecked on the coasts of Forfar,
Kincardine and Aberdenshire, and near
ly 200 persons drowned. One of the
vessels wrecked On the Aberdenshire
coast was the Liverpool ship Ben Rhyd-
ding, from Calcutta. All the crew, thir-
ty in number, persisted within sight of
land, the rocket apparatus being unable.to
reach the vessel. When the masts gave
way twelve men went down with the
mainmast and four with the foremost.

THE COUNTY JUDGESHIP.

The near approach of the spring cleo
ton is a reminder to the voters of Jeffer-
son County, that probate judge is to be
chosen at that time. The present incum-
bent, III. Colonius, is announced as a
candidate and will doubtless be re-nom-
mated for the position by the democratic
county convention. What the detelmin-
alton is Of the republicans of the county
in this matter. we have not learned, but
in our mind there should be some concert
of action among them about placing a
candidate for county judge in the field.
The privilege is open to republicans as
well as democrats of fighting the
question out on purely political grounds,
and from the action of the democrats
certainly such seems to, be their deter
mination. The republicans can present a
candidate that for fitness and capability
will compare favorably with the selection
likely to be made by the democracy, and
whose faithful service to the people of the
county in the Office Of probate judge can
not be questioned. Let the republicans
put forward their best man and leave to
the voters the alternative of selecting as
between the candidates of both the polit-
ical parties. The choice of county
judge should not be made on political
bias. The people, if true to themselves,
will determine the question on the ground
of the peculiar fitness of the man for the
office, as it is position above all others
that politics should have nothing to do
with. But owing to the custom we have
fallen into, the people expect to look to
the several political parties for the pre-
sentation of candidates, and hence the
republican party owe it as duty to the
voters to make nomination for county
Judge at this time. We believe in this
expression we but echo the sentiments of
the Jefferson county republicans.

A BOSTON BIRD SHOW.

Over 1000 rare and beautiful birds are
on exhibition in Horticultural Hall, Bos-
ton. There are also collections of beauti-
full shells, guinea-pigs, a cage of marmo-
sets, and a number of animals that can
not properly be classed as belonging to
the pathological kingdom. But tle
birds themselves must be seen to be ap-
preciated. There are macaws, gorgeous
in plumage and loud in voice; parrots
that can whistle Yankee Doodle with a
correctness and precision that would put
some human bipeds to blush; others that
dance, and others again that are almost
human in their use of the human Ian
guage: talking black birds: Indian
talking minos; an English magpie that
speaks the language like native; a
Virginia rail, bird that has never been
seen in a cage before; and live birds
from nearly all parts of the world, several
specimens of Asiatic and African finches,
cockadillas from Australia, Europe
an chaffinch, japanese robin, South
American tropials, Brazilian and golden
cardinals, white Java sparrows, etc.

LETTER FROM Il HOME RUL Err

A letter from Patrick j. Smyth, Home
Rule member of Parliament from Upper
airy, was read at The Land-League meet
ing at Tralee, in answer to an invitation
to attend the meeting. Smyth says:
"The policy of the Land-Leaguers is
stupid and irrational. It has sacrificed
st cause and dishonored our country.
When see women, forgetful of the mod
esty becoming their sex, turning stump
orators, and when I read imbecile coun-
seis promulgated from public platforms

satisfied by dissipating the almost super
stitious belief that Mr.. Parnell and his
henchmen were invincible and irresisti-
BILE in the British Parliament. If this
should prove to be the case Mr.. Parnel
has certainly given great assistance to the
Gladstone Ministry" The Spectator re-
marks to-day; cit is impossible to deny
that in the great struggle of last month
Mr.. ,Parnell completely failed as leader
He has failed in doing what he might
easily have done from his own point of
view, and he has failed in manner
which, though it does not yet seem to
have impressed the Irish people, must
sooner or later-and probably much SOON
er than later-destroy any illusion with
which his policy has inspired them The
failure seems to us to be distinctly due to
a certain almost technical pettiness of
view not at all inconsistent with bewil-
derment OF judgment, though it is apt to
convey the notion of precision, accuracy,
and fxity of thought. Nothing has
been more striking throughout the Land
League agitation than the attempt made
by Mr.. Parnell to hit the line between
wind and water in relation to the ques-
ton of legality. Mr., Parnel's principle
in guiding the people has been to try and
teach them enough legal fnesse to en-
able them to conflict loss on the land
lords without being punished for it, and
to some extent no doubt he has succeed

1t is said that the Lieutenant Govern
or of Ohio-Hickenlooper by name-is
the most disappointed man in the state
because Governor Foster was not made a
cabinet officer, so that he could play
Governor for the unexpired term, and
have fair chance to be nominated him
self for the highest office in the gift of
the people. Now it is decided that Eos
ter must run again for governor, and the
Lieutenant Governor must learn to labor
and to wait.

THE LAND BILL.

People in Ireland seem disposed to
await patiently Mr.. Gladstone's Land
bill. The best advice to Irish people
would be to so govern their actions as to
avoid the necessity Of its application to
them. AS Mr.. Cowen, the member for
Newcastle, who proved himself-with
Mr.. Labouchere-to be such sterling
friend of Ireland, said in recent speech,
"insurrection in Ireland would be made
a criminal enterprise" He added, truly:
"But deep sentiment of rancor has been
aroused in the bosoms of the Irishmen
engaged in the land agitation, who feel
that they have been laid upon the ice
and left to founder" To support this
Mr.. t. P. O'Conner charged pointedly
two members on the Treasury benches
Mr. Mundella and Mr.. Chamberlain
with having, when in opposition, zen
couraged the obstructives and given them
private lessons how to play the game. :"
When the history of this Coercion bill
comes to be recorded it will always be a
matter CT regret that men like Bright,
Chamberlain, and Gladstone, hitherto
vaunted friends of the oppressed and
downtrodden, who have in times past
pleaded SO eloquently that Ireland's
wrongs should be redressed, should not
have had the courage Of their opinion
when in power, and should have proceed
ed first with their coercive measures in
stead of remedial legislation The labor
they have spent in passing the Coercion
bill would have been better expended in
a more worthy cause. AS to the plo.
spects Of the Land bill passing both
Houses with intense conservative oppo-
sition and urgency to be again voted
speculations as to its favorable results for
Ireland are extremely hazardous.

IRISH AFFAIRS.

LoND on, Feb. 27.-Mr. Forster, in or
der to maintain his own reputation, will
be compelled to prove, with the Coercion
bill in hand, that there was ample reason
for demanding it. As the reign Of law
is supposed to be reestablished, doubtless
he will have full opportunities for trying
its efforts on the Irish tenants. Fortu-
nately, summer is ahead, not winter. A
member Of Parliament asserted yester
day that over a thousand processes had
already been served, and, as the wheels
of the Queens writ-mnchine will run
now easily enough, eyictions will follow
and the consequent human misery in its
old sickening aspect.
REGRETS.
The Pail Mall Gazette ADDS: cit is
impossible to conceal from ourselves the
fact that we may look for the exercise of
their extreme legal rights by many Of the
landlords and on a very considerable
scale. If these rights are of kind which
the forthcoming Land bill takes away or
modifes, and if they are pressed over
any very wide area under shelter OF the
Coercion act, then there will be stronger
reason than ever to regret that the Land
bill has not preceded or accompanied the
Coercion act. Parliament will in that
case appear in the singular light of hay
ing by its own measures enabled bad
landlords to do exactly that which by an
other measure it decided they ought not
to be allowed to do, Mr.. Forster may be
