Irinh Troubles.

Riots are of constant occurrence in Dublin
and other cities, and cable dispatch says,
twenty-three persons are in Limerick Hospital,
Dublin, suffering with bayonet wounds. In
Consequence Of the peril imminent, the head
quarters of the Land League have been trans
ferred from Dublin to Liverpool. There is,
however, little prospect Of. armed resistance.
A special dispatch to the New York Herald, un-
der date of October 1s, says: "The phase of
the excitement in Dublin has entirely changed.
Originally caused by political arrests, 1t has
merged into evaporation against the police, in
which, it must be said all classes join. This is
the only thing now talked Of, and if possible
the attitude of the police may cause a disturb
ance which mere political presentment never
would have done"

Somebody WIN surely Get Hurt.

In Dublin the magistrates stated from the
bench on the 18th, that the police had strict
orders never in future to fire blank cartridges,
but to fire with effect. Says the Pail Mall
Gazette: "The Land League is to be oppressed
forcibly that is the long and short Of the mat
ter. The, violent suppression Of the League,
which has never yet been declared Illegal, is
only the beginning Of the task which lies be-
fore the country. If the Land Act fails to
briug even temporary peace, then Great Brit
ain will have nothing less than to frame
wholly new system of government for Ireland.
1t is intolerable, even impossible, that We con-
tinue to govern by series Of spasmodic coups
detat. Poison may be q useful drug in certain
emergencies, but Q nation can not live on po-
litical poison for its daily food-not even Ire
land" This is beginning to look like pretty
ominous affair.

Patent srea.c,ne Kt,i. -FOUR Children.

Patent Medicine Kills Four Children.
A horrible affair happened at Mercer's Bot
tom, West Virginia, a few days ago. Alonzo
Porter, q farmer, bought from a little country
store bottle Of yermifuge, patent medicine
to give to his children for worms. -Four children
were given the medicine according to the direc-
tions. The farmer says few doses brought
from the children nine hundred worms Of all
sizes, but created Inflammation of the stomach
and bowels, so that in few hours all were
dead. A physician of excellent reputation was
called to see them, but could do nothing to
alleviate their agony, which he says was the
most terrible sight he ever beheld, they tearing
their flesh from their bodies whom not held,
and biting themselves as though mad.

A Georgia School Teacher.

A colored "school marm" in this
county has number of men with fami-
lies attending school-one forty years
old. Among the number is the man
with whom she is boarding, and one of
the first to receive the rod of correction
was her landlord. He says she is right,
and If, while he attends her school, he
disobeys her commands or fails to COM
ply with her regulations, that she ought
to whip him, and his duty is to submit
to the chastisement without complaint.

The Enxll.h View of Il.

It is evident that the situation in ireland, to
England, looks as il civil war were incon-
troyertible. The following short extracts are
from the English press. The Morning Post
says: "We consider the issue of the manifesto
by the Irish Land League direct incentive to
o civil war; The Standard says: "War to
the knife is proclaimed explicitly. So far there
is no finching on either side." The Daily
Telegraph says: Nothing can be more e1-
plicit than that the determination Of the Land
Lesgue is to maintain fierce conflict with
the Government"

Nev York Getttnr EnyIous.

Since Boston has shown a disposition to
hold Worlds Fair in 1885, New York has
again revived the project of holding such an
exhibition in 1888. Boston calculates raising
S5, ,00O 600 to make the enterprise a success, and
anticipates that s1O 600, 900 will be required to
cover expenses. 1t is stated from New York
that the capitalists who have there taken hold
of the scheme are determined to carry it
through to success. New York in 1888, and
Boston in 1885, we fear will be too much of
good thing

An Attempt to B.rn I. v...el.

An attempt was made by two persons, as yet
unknown, to burn the steamer Bothina, of the
Cunard Line, q few days ago. They were on
the vessel but moment, and during that time
poured phosphorous fluid on heavy woolen
carpet, known as the runner" !" In an obscure
part Of the vessel. The vapor rising from the
fluid was scented by . steward, who informed
others, and the carpet was at once folded and
conveyed on deck. The friction caused by fold
ing ignited the carpet, and it burned furiously.
Whefe the "runner lay were two full bottles
whose oontsnts had not been touched and a
broken bottle, the contents Of which had satu-
psked the carpet An effort will be made to
Apture the incendiaries.

Literary Remains.

Lucretia R. Garfield, wife Of the late Presi-

ing the literary remains of her husband, In
which she says: at is my wish that the ac-
count Of the life and appropriate collection OF
the literary remains of General Garfield shall
be published after that carful consideration SO
manifestly necessary. To that end I request
that you will announce in some public manner
my purpose to cause this work to be done at the
earliest practicable time, and Of which due
notice will be given"

Momen,s acknowledgment.

Women can vote In Massachusetts, for
School Trustees, but if they exercise the
right they must pay poll tax, as do all
male voters. Judging from the condi-
ton Of things in Boston, the number of
female voters in the State Is very small.
Only about $50 of the Boston women
have paid the required tax. There may
be many more who have some sympathy
with the enfranchisement of their sex,
but perhaps they do not regard voice
In the choice of school officials as of
special Importance Ono grievance exists
which the Legislature has refused to re-
move, though such action was favored
by the committee to which it was referred.
A Awidowhas no ownership in the cemetery
lot of the family unless specially awarded
it in her late husbands viii. She can
not authorize the burial OF any one
there, and we suppose her own inter
ment, where the husband died intestate,
would be a matter of courtesy rather
than of right.
People everywhere are coming round
to the opinion that women's sphere has
been too much restricted. In England
they are now allowed university educa.
ion, though not many years ago a prop
osition to that effect met with general
derision. In all old settled countries
there is an excess of females, so that
marriage for all is an impossibility.
Home life, even where happiest, is
likely to be broken In on by the death or
business misfortune of the head of the
family. Hence there is reason that every
girl should be taught some means of
supporting herself, should the necessity
arise. Yet there is this drawback to any
costly professional studies-that they, or
the occupation which Is their result,
will be interrupted by marriage. 1t is
| absurd to say that when this occurs the
sexes can be on physical equality.
The mother of one or more young
| children owes her first allegiance to
them, and can not, in conscience, give
over her care to others for any long
period of time. Hence every woman
must make the choice between marriage
| and absorbing professional employment.
It would hardly pay to qualify ones self
for the latter at great cost of time and
money, if the sight of congenial partner
is to render useless all that has been ex-
pended. Men anxious to establish q
home are not generally desirous of plac-
ing at its head person whose interests
lie outside of it. Celibacy and active
occupation must therefore 60 together.
On the other hand, there are many
useful and lucrative arts which women
may learn, and the prosecution of which
marriage need not greatly interrupt,
since they are those which can be carried
on at home. There are others for which
maidens and widows can alone find
leisure, but which may be learned with
out great outlay. It is to these two
classes that women may naturally looh
for work, and as they are usually light
employments, those practicing them
should be freed from male composition
We trust the day is not far distant wher
this last reform shall be accomplished

Fatal Collision.

Just below Mckinney Station, 129 miles south
of Cincinnati, on the Cincinnati Southern Rail-
way, five persons were crushed to death between
two large tanks in collision. Conductor Mark
Neman, who had the engine in charge at the
time, was unable to control it, bis effort to re-
verse it proving fruitless, and it collided with
q portion of the train that was standing upon
the track. Those killed were David Campbell

riding for amusement, and John Alcorn,
Charles Knobbs, and George Whippey, railway
employees. Another employe had both legs
