Irish Items.

An Irishman publishes q letter,
In which he says that Fenianism
is practically extinct in America
and In Ireland, and nearly SO in
Great Britain; that the "n0 rent"
ma nifestO has caused such O run
upon the resources of the Land
League that they must soon be
exhausted and that probably tb),
general adoption of the s'no renyt'
policy will lead to such exaspera.
tion that there will be organized
attacks on the military and police,
which attacks can be effsctually
stamped out, and the League with
them.
The police have seized 300 copies
of United ireland, dated Deesm-
Der oath, in various parts of the
country, having Dublin imprint.
1t is stated that they were printed
In the Abbey-street Office, where
some Of the copies We're seized.
The police deny this, but refuse to
cay where the paper was printed.
1t IL believed 10000 copies were
circulated before the police stopped
the issue.
United ireland rsappeared in It's
usual form in London tonight. 1t
contains q cartoon depicting the
Irish landlords ss beggsrs and the
tenants as prosperous men.
William Hunt, clerk In the office
of United ireland, has been ar
rested aud charged with secretly
conducting the paper. The police
have seized 500 additional copies Of
the paper.
At Castleton to-day Miss Rey.
nolds, charged with aiding and
abetiDg criminal conspiracy to
prevent payments of rents, was
ordered to either find bail to keep
the peace for six months or under

jail.
The Lord Mayors fund for the
defense of property in Ireland

A Valuable Discovery.

What may turn out to be q very
valuable discovery was made on
Wednesday last, being = vein Of
excellent coal. 1t has been tested
by one of our blacksmiths and, al
though only crOppings, burned
freely and left no cipder. Should
1t prove to be extensive, the
mine of itself would inddce
one of the railways to come
this way. They now have to
bring their coal by sea to San
Francisco, and thence to points
along the line. 1t is impossible to
overestimate the value Of this find.

Chaffee should go into the Cabinet,
and the President for some time
had Chaffee's name under serious
consideration. It was soon learned,
however, that the nomination of
Chaffee would not be wholly salts
factory to the Stalwarts OF the
Pacific Slope, while that of Sar.
gent would. Besides, it was be.
lieved that Chaffee had too large
landed interests in the West to
make it at oil proper that he should
accept the nomination or that 1t
should be offered to- him. Some Of
the leading men here, however,
regard this reason as of small con.
sequence Ia view OF the fact that
Sargent would be nominated II
Chaffee was not. Chaffee has
caused 1t to be understood that he
could not accept any nomination
as his business requires all his
time,

DALLAS, TEXAS, July 2l.-A spe.
cial to the Herald from Rockdale.
says an instrument was left in this
county, eight miles east Of Rockdale,
about four years ago, which is about
twenty-four feet long and three feet
in diameter. 1t appears to be some
kind Of astronomical instrument that
no man in this section understands, 1t
was placed at VIM. Harvey's on ac-
count Of bad roads, by an old gentle
man who had two young men employ
ed to assist him, and it is believed that
the old gentleman was murdered by
these two young men for the effects
which are known to be in his hands.
This instrument is supposed to he
worth $4,000, and the names of all
the parties who left it are unknown to
US. We hope this notice may be the
means of unraveling the mystery.
