Except for this incident the meeting was much more
orderly and seemingly more earnest than such gath
erings usually are.
An immense crowd assembled to witness the
arrival of the procession Their demeauor was that OF
curiosity. not of sympathy but no opposition or
hostility was manifested. The procession comprised
about six bands each with q considerable following.
One of the prominent figures was q soldier
with green rosette on his uniform.
There were numerous banners bearing
the Inscriptions Release Davitt," "We want
the land that bore u.s." and Union aud Victory"
The procession was swelled by contingents from
Magma Charta associations and Democratic work
mems clubs. When the procession halted
there was dense thrOng. numbering prob
ably some thousands, and composed mainly OF Irish
men, who were very enthusiastic. Among the
speakers wero 7. p. O'Connor the Rev. Isaac Nell
son. and John Redmond, Home Rule Members OF
Parliament. The meeting was divided into three
assemblages which were at such distance apart as
not to interfere with each other. The speakers de-
clared that Mr. Gladstone raised into power by
Radical workIngmen and would be deposed by them.
Allusions OF this kind as well as remarks dispar-
aging to the House of Lords were enthusiastically
received. Resolutions were carried without dissent.
At the close of the meeting the mob marched east

ing the leaders halted in order to give their follow
ers an opportunity to close uD and mako an lmpos-

There was vigorous grOanIng opposite the Guards
Club and wherever else anyone was visible at the
windows, particularly at the Carleton Opposite
the Reform Club the mob halted and the leaders
called for cheers for Davitt and Cowen and groans
for the Tory member for Bradford, meaning MIR.
Forster and for the Liberal renegades, all of which
were heartily given. No display of force was made
by the authorities.
The first meeting Of the Ladies' Land League was
held at Claremorris. Ireland, to-day. Miss Parnel
proposed resolution that ladies' branch Leagne
be established in every parish as protest against
the arrest of Davtt. The resolution was adopted.
The Daily AtCs has reason to believe that, oD the

A BELLS SAD MESSAGE.

The slow tolling of the funeral bell in
the tower Of tho Roman Catholic Church
of the Annunciation yesterday morning
told sorry tale of death and woe. Al
most simultaneously with the first sound
of the herald of death coffin was borne
up the steps Of the church, and as it
moved through the aisle to the altar a
long line of people, with grave and rcvcr-
ent mien, followed in the rear. The i'm
pressive, awe-inspiring Mass which the
church prescribes for its dead was cole
brated, and then the mortal remains
were returned to the hearse and con-
yeyed To the;. l.-. .---.i % r,s.-~; - 49,
new Cathedral Cemetery.
But there was one mourner, unseen in
the edlice, whose tears fell thick and fast
as the solemn rites of the church we're
being performed over the cloth-cov-
cred casket Across the street from
the church are the cold gray walls of
Moyamensing prison. In one of the
corridors Of this institution an inmate
was pacing when the first muffled tones
caught his ear His checks blanched,
his knees tfembled under his body, and,
sinking upon chair which happened to
be near by, he buried his face in his
hands, while his frame shook with con-
vulsive sobs. This man was William
Cannon, who in three weeks time will
have completed the term of imprison-
ment to which he was sentenced for Of
fering bride of IS cents to an elector,
and the funeral which was then in pro-
gress was that of his wife and the mother
of his four children.
A week ago, when she was lying at
the point of death earnest but unsuccess-
full efforts were put forth to induce the
Board Of Pordons to allow his discharge,
and after the vital spark had fled the
judge by whom he had been sentenced
was compelled by want of authority to
deny the man permission to cross the
street from the prison to the church, that
he might look for the last time upon the
face of the partner Of his joys and sor-
rows These thoughts added poignancy
to his grief, and all the efforts of his
Keepers to soothe him were of no avail.
II know it's her funeral" he said, when
the men from kindly motives were in

A CORNER FOR YOU.


1t is not sumptuous dwelling,
With plenty of room, and to spare,
With pictures and drapcries telling
That wealth is n resident there,
But only small habitation,
We're crowded for room, it is true
But come, dear, without hesitation,
There's always corner for you.
More simple are Geraldine's quarters,
With furnishing costly and rare,
And only one son and two daughters
Her generous income to share.
Her rooms are more spacious than many
Her household in numbers but few,
And yet you will find there's not any
Snug corner for me or for you.
IT'S not with the proud and the wealthy
Hospitable feelings abound;
More oft mid the poor that healthy
Good fellowship seems to abound,
No matter how meagre their table,
No matter how scanty their store,
Somehow they are cheerfully able
To crowd and make room for one more
IL matters not whether in ermine
Or sackcloth the host may be drest,
The size of his heart will determine
The welcome he gives to his guest
And though live in shanty,
AS many unfortunate do
Tho porridge and pasture be scanty,
There's always corner for you
Where many are narrow and sordid,
What joy the frank hearted do find
What comfort and cheer are afforded
BY those to affection inclinedl
Where love has steadfast endurance,
Is honestly faithful and true,
The heart gives repeated assurance
It has q warm corner for Won

A Cool Detective.

As rule, highwaymen in the mining
States seldom operate upon stage coach
with ''U. S. NJ on it. They know that
these initials stand for the United States
Mail, and are pledge that the whole
power of the government will be used
to capture them.
The detectives in the government SER
vice are quiet men, courteous in manner
and gentle in speech. Mr.. Hayes tells,
in his book on New Colorado" of one
whom he met. who wore gold spectacles,
and looked like a German professor.
Yet this man alone took two mai-rob-
bers from the north of Texas. At one
place their friends planned rescue.
lie quietly informed his prisoners that,
while their friends could undoubtedly
kill him, they might be sure that the
first motion would send both of them into
eternity. Not man in the crowd
moved finger
On one occasion, celebrated detec.
tive was on stage which was attacked
by two masked men. The first he knew
was that revolvers we're thrust in the
coach windows, with command, Hands
up, gentlemen p
The highwaymen had ''the drop" on
the passengers, which, in their vocabu-
larry, meant certainty of being able to
kill before being harmed themselves.
TO his disgust, the detective was COM
PEELED to give up his watch and money.
AS tho robbers left, he put his hand
down in the boot, aud to his delight
1t touched carbine. Asking the driver
to 60 on a little further and then stop
aud wait for him, he went back alone.
The two men, unsuspicious Of danger,
were "divvying up" the spois in the
middle of the road. This was just what
the detective had calculated on.
Now, you scoundrels, it's my turn
he shouted, covering them with the re-
peating carbinc. Throw up your hands
or I'll shoot"
Tho robbers, at his command, stepped
one side, holding up their hands, while
he picked up their revolvers. II was
not many minutes before the astonished
passengers saw the two highwaymen
walking meekly down the road. with
the cool detective following. They were
taken in the coach ond finally lodged in
Jail.
Tho hero was Gen. Charles Adams,
who subsequently went alone among the
Utes, and secured the release Of the
women captives from the White River
