Foreign Notes

Parnell arrived at Armagh UNI
recognized, and was taken to the
county Jail.
The Irish Times believes that an
improved feeling is growing.
DIR. Kenny, who formerly at
tended the imprisoned suspects, and
was himself imprisoned. has re-
ceived fl,000 from sympathizers.
The proposed exhibition of Irish
manufactures has fallen through,
owing to dispute between Dublin
and Belfast regarding the royal
patronage.
While number of men were re-
pairing the Protestant church at
Aghabaflagoe, Cork, wrecked a few
mouths ago, they were attacked and
He'd. They took refuge in house
which their assailants wrecked. 4
"Prince Bismarck is really and
truly somewhat seriously ill., is the
remarkable phraseology of dis
patch from Berlin in the London
Times.
Biggar, Sexton, Lallor, O'Connor
and O'Donnell, members of parlia-
ment, have issued an address ex-
pressing deep gratitude for the SER
vices rendered by the ladies' league.
The London Times, commenting
upon the reports from CONSTANT
nople relating to a German alliance
with Turkey, says they are founded
on the manifest desire of Prince Bis
marck TO advertise himself rs the
principal counsellor and patron of
the porte. There might possibly be
contingencies when it would be con-
venient TO detain French troops in
Tunis by the menace of Turkish
invasion from Tripoli. AS Ger
many pays nothing for this accom-
mediation, Prince Bismarck does not
repudiate the means by which IL
might be provided.

Gov. ROBERTS has temporarily
filled the office of fish commissioner.
Does this mean that he is going to
supply such an officer only so long
as it Is necessary to rNeive the
young fish from the Washington
fisheries and see them delivered into
our waters? III so, the conclusion
is wise, for really there is no work
in this state to be performed by
fish commissioner, and his
permanent employment is en-
tirely useless. The federal
government rears the young
fishes, and agents of the government
take them in charge and attend
them to the time they are deposited
in the waters for which they are in
tended. The application for fishes
is made by congressman from the
various states, and nothing is really
left for a state fish commissioner in
Texas to do. Had Texas, as some
of the states have, a fish breeding
and distributing establishment of
its own, then the commissioner
would be a very proper official. AS it
is, the office is a useless one.

San Antonio Express "Indica-

New YORK has a new penal code
which would settle Guiteau's hash
in short order. Under it person
will not be excused from criminal
liability as an imbecile, idiot, lunatic
or insane person, or of unsound
mind, except upon proof, that at
the time of committing the alleged
criminal act he was laboring under
such defect of reason as either not
to know the nature and quality of
the act he was doing, or not TO know
that the act was wrong. The code
also specifies that morbid propen-
sity to commit prohibited acts ex-
listing in the mind of a person who
is not shown to have been incapable
of knowing the wrongfulness of
such acts, forms no defence to a
prosecution therefor. Ii is an admir-
able statute, but it will ruin the
business of experts of the Currie
case variety.

THE new attorney general, Benja-
min III. Brewster, is recognized as
one of the ablest lawyers of this
country. The Philadelphia Press,
which is good authority on almost
any subject, says that "in his varied
accomplishments and in his stand
ing as an advocate he is worthy to
wear the mantle of Crittenden,
Black, Stanton and Evarts." Mr..
Macy eagh chose him to act as special
counsel for the government in the
star route cases, ani. his appoint
ment as attorney general is accepted
as meaning that the prosecutions
will be conducted vigorously. MIR.
Brewster Is Il native of New Jersey,
resident Of Philadelphia. Mr..
Brewster is recognized in literature
as a most brilliant essayist as well
as a graceful and versatile writer.
AS speaker, too, he is forcible and
eloquent. His connection as lead
ing counsel with the star route
cases brought him prominently be-
fore the public. Mr.. Brewster was
once a Democrat, but at the close OF
the war he became a Republican,
in 1867 he was appointed attorney
general ofPennsylvania by the Gov
ernor.

THE REAL PRESENCE.


DR.. Holland lately read a paper
before the Chicago philosophical So
cisty in which he discussed the real
presence OF the Diety i'll the bread
and wine be used in the communion.
During the discourse he said:
"Does not your view of that real
presence render it very common ?
Are not all things else-rorks.
weeds, insects, reptiles, beasts-iust
as true exhibitions of it as the wine
in the chalice? Why then supreme
and unique sacrament? No better
reason could be desired, it seems to
me, than the one stated in the ques-
ton itself-namely, that Gods pre-.
sence is III all things. For a truth
so universal and so univer-
sally glorious needs some spe-
eial mark and token TO i'm
press it ON minds, which are
prone, like ours, TO see things as ami
mails see them, 10 whom, they are
naught but objects of sense and APP
petite, or which, if they see further,
still regard them as the first and
surest realities and ideas-as mere
distractions from them, God being
the last and most shadowy abstrac-
ton of ideas; or which, if they
recognize Godin them at all, recog-
nize him only in the rare, the
strange, the astonishing, the miracu-
lous, and not in the familiar scenes
of everyday occurrences. Secular
genius bad watched many man CELL
turtles before Goethe discovered that
his character was not complete, nay,
that his education was not rightly
begun. until he had learned the
three reverences = reverence not
only for what is above and what is
within, but also for what is beneath
him; and poetry had grown quite
old and lost the, freshness of her
voice when in Wordsworth her
youth was renewed by the
divination that the meanest
flower that blows could give
thoughts which do often lie
too deep for tears And yet, week
by week, and.day by day, Tor a thou
sand years and more, religion had
been lifting up before the eyes of
worldly wisdom and poetic vision
mans homeliest fare of bread and
wine as her hottest type, of a pres
ence which hallows the very ground
whence they grow, and should hal
low all mans life upon it. Thus,
while the real presence could not be
divine unless universal, the dis
position of the natural man 10 ig-
more or neglect it for mere sensu-
o6s pleasures requires that it
should be emphasized to sense
itself by some singular me-
mento and type which shall have all
the magnificent meaning and all the
solemnity and all the alteration of
the divinely universal and univer-
selly divine fact it brings to mind
and typifies ; even as the fact that
all the days of the week are sacred
renders it meet that we should set
apart certain day among them to
celebrate and inspire us to observe
their common sanctIty as alike days
of the Lord-which otherwise we
might forget in the hurry and dis
traction of selfish cares and enjoy

THE LANeTRY DEBUT.

Mrs. Langtry made her first APP
pearance on the London stage at
the Haymarket Theatre at a matinee
on Wednesday, as Miss Hardcastle,
in "She Stops to Conquer" The
London Times of Thursday devotes
nearly column to a criticism of
her performance. 1t says: "The
representation was eminently sue
cessful. The audience evidently
came prepared to make every posi-
BILE allowance. None whatever was
required. The oldest play-goers
were astonished at the ease with
which Mrs. Langtry glided into her
part and the felicity of her
execution throughout" The Post
SAYS that Mrs. Langtry's interpre-
tation FULLY gratified the high ex-
pectatIons which had been formed.
The Telegraph says: "Mrs. I4angtry's
voice has refinement in every note.
Reviewed as a whole her perform
ance was a most interesting and
successful experiment. The Dafly
NescS says: "From the first to the
last nothing was done in n slovenly
way. Mrs. Langtry not only had
perfect mastery of her words, but
was able at times to fill in the por-
trait with little touches of byplav.
1t Is not too much to say that she
promises to become an excellent &C
tress.n The Standard says that Mrs.
Langtry did at least as well as could
have been expected.

A WASHINGTON special says that
tariff revision will demand the at
tention of congress Immediately af-
ter the holidays. The Morrill, bill
will be reported to the senate and
the tariff reformers, it is said; will
antagonize it, while the Garland bill,
which was rejected by the finance
committee, has some supporters,
who will make determined fight
in its behalf without any prospect
of success. Senators Harris and
Beck and several others are in favor
of commission composed entirely
of members Of congress and APP
pointed by congress, their policy
being to keep entire control
of the subject in congress and
not TO entrust the revision even in
part TO outsiders. The differences
of opinion, however, as to the COM
position of the proposed comms-
sion will not divide the lower tariff
senator's as against the Morrill, bill.
They will endeavor first to defeat it,
which, accomplished, they,will also
attempt to unite upon some new
measure, perhaps constructed upon
the Garland bill. The sentiment in
favor of tariff revision is steadily
growing. Judge Kelley, chairman
of the ways aud means committee
has modified his extreme tariff
views to the extent of admitting
that revision is needed aud
he intends to draw bill to
that effect. Low tariff men say
this contemplated move of KEEL
ley's is simply smart dodge
of the protectionists to head of a
growing sentiment in favor of re-
vision. Everything that emanates
from the protectionists is suspected
by the other side, and the bill for
tariff revision introduced by Kelley
viii be antagonized as strenuously
as though it embodied the extreme
ofprotection doctrines. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that majority of
both houses favor revision, but
there are diverse views as to the
means and methods that should be
employed in making it, and it is this
part of the subject that will delay
the passage of the bill aud cause a
protracted discussion. Western
members, as a rule, are study
ing the matter very attentively, and
one of them has said that not a
few of them would utilize the holt
day recess by consulting the views
oftheir constituents upon this ques-
tion- There are remarkable
changes In opinion to be noted.
Free-traders have so modified their
views as to now express themselves
willing to accept tariff revision,
aud upon this middle ground they
have met the head and front ofpro-
lection, Judge Kelley; but, while
this looks like unity and harmony
upon its face, each side win en-
deavor to make the most possible
out of revision for ITS respective
ideas, and the tariff fight promises
TO be q spirited one.

THE discovery of the fate of the
Jeanette destroys our faith in
Yankee ingenuity. When the jean
nette started on her polar voyage the
STATESMAN predicted it would in
few years come up from the south
seas, revealing to the world that
Semmes' hole was a reality, and that
it had passed through the very
bowels of earth, seeing strange
things that only a few men have
dreamed of. Our faith in the New
York Herdld'S enterprise and push
led us to believe this, no mat
ter as to the real facts in
the case, and now we are dis
appointed that this Arctic explor-
or has ceased 10 explore, and that
she is laid up for eternity among
the icebergs. The Jeanette left
San Francisco in 1879, under the
command of Captain De Long, and
Just as the world had concluded that
her crew had met the fate of all
Arctic explorers,t the news comes that
a part of the crew have made their
appearance on the coast of Siberia.
So far as learned, through meagre
dispatches, The J-annette was caught
in the ice, crushed and abandoned
at a point fully 500 miles north of
Siberia. Putting to sea in three
open boats, this great distance over
patches of open sea and over foes of
ice had to be travelled before a place
of safety could be reached, and the
hardships encountered and the suf-
ferings endured by these explorers
must be such as defied imagination.
Abandoning the usual route taken
by American polar explorers up
Baffin's bay, the Jeanette sailed
through Behring's straits hoping to
reach the mythical "open sea" around
the north pole by the warm stream,
not unlike the Gulf stream on our
eastern coast, that finds a way
through Behring's straits and which
rids that part of the northern sea
from ice when the Baffin's bay route
is impeded by great iceberg forma-
tons. The last heard of the jean
nette, until the account of the rescue
from Siberia reached us, was
some time in September of 1879,
when she was reported to have
been seen off Herald island, well
across the Arctic circle. Our gov
eminent has sent out two expOdi-
tons in search eff the last vessel, the
revenue cutter Corwin returning
only short time ago without find
ing any traces of the missing vessel
or her crew. There is no knowing
what contributions to science or
what discoveries the Jeanette eX.
petition has made, yet if nothing
more has been accomplished than
has rewarded other expeditions,
there will be many other adventur-
our spirits ready to imperll their
lives in new expeditions to pene-
trate the mystery surrounding the
North pole.

day she left the house, and when
night came she did not return. For
two weeks all efforts to discover her
were unsvaillng, but the detectives
employed in the case at length
learned that she was employed as a
domestic servant, under an assumed
name. She refused TO return home
until her parent promised to get her

The Brennan Banner gets the fol-
lowing rebuke from the Waco Er-
dmineT for a gratuitous fling at the
governor. The Brennan Banner
hints that the Old Alcalde had a
purpose in removing TO Austin. 1t
says: at is suggested that the ira
dition that Texas will not select her
senators from the east, induced Gov
ernor Roberts to change his resi-
dence from Tyler to Austin. Be-
sides there is that older tradition,
that the wise men come from the
east" This is q free country, and if
Governor Roberts feels disposed to
remove his residence from Tyler to
Austin, his motives in so doing
ought to be above suspicion and
criticism.
