From Kildare to Gaol.

The coercion act has produced its legit-
innate fruit in the arrest of the great Irish
leader and Agitator, Parnell, upon the
charge OF "inciting Irish tenants 10 repu-
didte past obligations and 10 refrain from
applying TO he ie9alty-constituted land com
mission TO Jfr fair rent" 1t was not 50
much what he had said or done as what
it was imagined he might say (!) at the
convention in County Kildare, which he
was about to attend. The "loyalists"
had appealed to the mild and benefcent
government of England to cage this rep
resentative man of the Irish people in
Kilmainham gaol, and the government
could not well resist the patriotic appeal.
The telegram says 1T was intended to
have the arrest made quietly" but the
news that Parnell was coming to Kill
dare to speak had collected nearly all the
population along the line by which he
was coming. And so what would have
seemed a sort of legal kidnapping failed,
and the man of the people was taken
suddenly but publicly.
The statements by telegraph of the in
Simultaneous appearance of armed English
soldiers all over Ireland, ready to suppress
any manifestations of discomfort with the
arrest read like the story of the coup dadt
of Louis Napoleon. In this country it
would seem strange to arrest n citizen for
advising tenants to exercise their option
about having new rent rate fixed, and
the cruelty of a British prison discipline
toward an Irish state offender is known
to all who have read the biographies of
the Irish patriots.
This suppression of free speech in Ire
land and the fear England maniiests by
the proceeding will not exercise the
hatred of landlordism or lessen, much
less extinguish, the passionate desire of a
sorrow-laden people to escape rule
which seems that of an enemy rather
than of a protector.
You may take the Shamrock from my hat
And cast II on The s1d!
Il ,oR take root and flourish there,
Though under foot It's trod.
So sings every Irish peasant to-day in
his heart, il, empty handed, he is too near
an English musket to sing it to the all
which is his only property. God help
poor Ireland and make wiser the power
ful nation which bought her of false rep
resentatives and treats her rs Russia
treats Poland. Her sons cannot strike
back now. But years of wrath are q
dangerous preparation for England's fu
ture.

Jubal A. Early addressed Democratic
meeting in Richmond, Va, Tuesday night, and, in
his usual gentlemanly way, called Senator Malone
" a miserable coward and base liar" Himself q
chief fmanipuator of lottery, he also sought to
make point against the Senator by asserting that
he " came out OF the war with almost nothing, and
succeeded In getting possession of three railroads"

Our militia companies do themselves
credit on all public occasions. Their
marching is especially commended for its
mechanical precision, but the boys have
never shown such time as was made by
their gallant grandsires sixty-seven years
ago, when their hatred of the British was
80 signally displayed in the great strategic
movement from Bladensburg to George
town.

BESIDES getting up an imposing spec
iacular display for the delectation of our
French guests we can astonish them
with something altogether unprecedented
if the Avenue can be cleared of carriages
for an hour or two. The feminine side
of the bar of the United States Supreme
Court tricycularly vehiculating from Fif-
teenth street to the Naval Monument
would furnish an exhibition both chaste
and uniuue.

REsrEcrABILITY of character does not
always go with respectablity of reputa-
ton. A very clean and well-dressed per-
son may be pelted with mud from behind
n wall by vagrants, and these may then
jeer at him for being muddy. So the
traveller on country road may be made
offensive by the fetid odor thrown upon
him by the little quadruped of the
mephiiS variety. All Of which suggests
that indecent assaults upon men do
not change the character of the men
assailed any more than the mud makes
the pelted man vagrant or the fetdness
makes the traveller one of the be-
fore mentioned quadrupeds. In time
the public will discover these truths, and
will laugh at the yagrants, quadrupeds,
and defamers for their silly claims to be
considered nice men and reformers.

THE Washington Post has a historian.

The Washington Post has historian.
This historian writes history. Thus: In
discussing the attitude of Judge Davis,
of Illinois, yesterday, and the proba-
bility of his election as President
pro tempore of the Senate, he says:
"a strong line of argument then
used was the statement that, though
Darts had been Democrat during The acar,
yet his loyalty had never been ques-
toned, while that Of Bayard was alleged
to have been Of a doubtful character"
The historian gives this, not as his own
cline of argument" but as that of the
considerable opposition developed
against Mr.. Davis in the Republican
caucus" OF course the historian himself
must have known that Judge Davis was
bosom friend of Abraham Lincoln, and
was chief manager of his interests and
delegate in the national convention
which nominated him, He must have
known that President Lincoln appointed
him to the Supreme Bench, and that his

sis he alive now, papa?

"When did he die?"
December IA, 1799."
s.Who is the father of this country
now, papa?"
"No one. 1t is fatherless."
The little girl was silent a few moments
and then inquired:
"Was he the little boy that couldn'
tell lie, papa"
"The same"
"Well, this country will never have
another, will it, papa?"
And the conversation was concluded
with the emphatic remark:

Story about John b. Cough.

John B. Cough, who has faced over
eight thousand audiences, acknowledges
that on one occasion, and one only, he
encountered embarrassment he could not
overcome. 1t was his own fault, he says,
and proved sharp lesson he never for
got. In his own words:
was engaged to address large num-
her of children in the afternoon, the
meeting to be held ON the lawn of the

the forenoon friend met me and said:
Il have some first-rate cigars will you
have q few?
No thank you
+Do take half-dozen.'

was out-of.doors kept my cap on fol

the cigars. Toward the close of my
speech / became more in earnest, and af
ter warning the boys against bad com
pany, bad habits, and the saloon, sald:
Now, boys, let us give three rousinlt
cheers for temperance and for colo
water. Now, then, three cheers. Hurrah!

most vigorously, when away. went tn.

ence. The remaining cheers were very
faint, and were nearly drowned in tn

DE reason what for we presented de
resignation of our pastor was fot de cause
dat this service had become disbenficial
to the church, was the lucid statement
of a colored trustee in answer to the mo-
tive for leaving. Many white brother
who resigned his pastoral charges own,
ING to the real or imaginary disagreement,
of the climate with his wife's health
might just as appropriately have summed
up the case bv admitting that his service
had become disbeneficial to the church.
