to be thankful to the kind Providence that had given them superior race to protect and care for them.
 MT. Redpath, who gave the best years of his life to the killing of slavery in Amer ica, and who is doing all that one large souled brainy man of nerve can do to kill another form of slavery in Ireland, said to land for just day. won't talk to you, I won't even give you a printed page to read, but will show you something that will astonish you, as it did me-"
 went with MT. Redpath to Cork, and the first day we took 8 jaunting-car for Blarney Castle. MT. Redpath was silent, which, with the purpose he had in view, was the highest wisdom. In the five miles drive counted 500 women without shoes or stockings, walking in the cold mud.
 This was MT. Redpath's argument, and it was an argument better than any man could make from platform.
 The next day we took 8 train for Fermoy, distance of perhaps 50 miles. In Fer moy, a tolerably prosperous village, for Ireland, the women did not only have no shoes or stockings, but they had scarcely anything else to wear.
 ''This is nothing," said the wise MT. Redpath; ''these people are fairly pros perous-for Ireland. I will show you something worth while before night"
 It puzzled me somewhat to understand how anybody could be worse off than to be walking in cold mud without any protec- tion whatever for the feet, but found it at Mitchellstown, at the foot of the Galtee Mountains.
 MT. Locke then gives long and appall- ing description of what he saw among the hardworking and thrifty peasants on the Galtee mountain sides. He continues :- | We toiled through fields that in America would not be accepted as gift. Here if l the exorbitant rent charged for them could not be paid the holders was evicted. We went through roads so wretchedly bad that teams could not travel over them. Yet taxes had to be paid by those who had holdings on either side. We saw fields  state, had been made productive, and had been the cause of the eviction of the holder because he could not pay the rent which the improvements brought upon him. He had been thrown off the land and it was rapidly going to waist again. Large patches of heather, which is worse than the American farmers bane, the Canada thistle, were growing over it, choking all other forms of vegetation. It would only take another season to make the land so worthless that three years of hard work would be required to put it back to the condition it was in when the holder had been compelled to leave it, after having devoted the best years of his life to reclaim ing and making it productive.
 After seven hours of such sights as these, which cannot be described, we were, weary and mad. We had seen enough for one day, and were ready to go back. All during the long drive to Mitchellstown not word was said. The subject was too ter rible for talk.

Watch Your Words.

Keep 6 watch on your words, my darings, For words are wonderful things; They are sweet, like the bees fresh honey Like the bees, they have terrible stings They can bless like the warm, glad sunshine, And brighten lonely life; They can cut, in the strife of anger, Like an open two-edged knife. Let them pass through the lips unchallenged' If their errand is true and kind If they come to support the weary, To comfort and help the blind; If bitter. revengeful spirit Prompt the words, let them be unsaid; They may flash through a brain like lightning Or fall on heart like lead. Keep them back, if they're cold and cruel, Under bar and lock and seal; The wounds they make, my darlings, Are always slow to heal May peace guard your lives, and ever, From the time of your early youth, May the words that you daily utter Be the words of beautiful truth.

Our First Experience.

Whilst engaged in the novel and very unpleasant task of "breaking ground'' for this interprise and ere the first line of THE EXAMINER had dropped from the editors pen, the thought had taken possession, even to conviction upon us that news papers-especially those of the partisan political stripe, were merely in existence for two principal objects; CD to make money through Advertisements and CD to mislead the people.
 Finding ourselves in Rome, we must of course, ''do as Rome does," at least to a certain extent.
 We are compelled to take advantage of the first condition, in order to establish basis from which to fight the second.
 Without advertisements no paper can live. They are, so to speak, its very life blood; and very considerable part of the $$ you pay over to the advertiser, finds it's way into the pockets of the publisher, their to mingle in glad communion with the 2oen'ays. you pay for the subscription. Here arises the thought in your minds eff this be true. why the place for me to patronise, is that, which does ssot adver- tise."
 Vain thought! Know you not that this display attracts the people to the things advertised, and consequently away from those places not availing themselves of the glorious privilege; and where the sill ent firm effects one sale, the other makes fifty. This of course necessitates much larger purchase on the part of the adver- tiser from the manufacturer, and-under the present order of things-on more fav- orable terms. Now, the one will charge you for the 9oods-wbich you want,-and grows rich; the other eoould charge you for the TIME he waits for customers which you do not want-and consequently grows poor.
 The man who does not advertise, is as one ''winking in the dark" He may set up a very frictional emotion of the eyelids, but alas it is known only to himself.
 Therefore, friends and readers, being obliged to make 8 virtue of necessity, we have selected, and take much pleasure in presenting to you, the most reliable par ties, doing business in our city, with whom you may at all times rest assured of secur- ing courteous attention, together with a square and honorable dealing.

Murderous Fanatics.
THE REV. ROBERT COLLIER LOOKING IN TT
 BIBLE FOR GUTTEAU's INSPIRATION.

THE REV. ROBERT COLLIER LOOKING IN THE
 BIBLE FOR GUITEAU's INSPIRATION.
 Guiteau's declaration that he was divinely inspired to murder President Gar field was the topic of the Rev. Robert Coll yer's sermon at the Church of the Messiah yesterday morning. It was not rare, MT. Collyer said, for murderers to set up such a defence. In one of the Eastern States not long ago man who had murdered his children declared that God had demanded the sacrifice, and compared himself to Abraham,
 eff the cause of this madness remains, ," said MT. Collyer, ''you cannot stamp out the curse by hanging the guilty man, or sending him to an asylum. Men must be taught what true faith is. Had Guiteau been Jew the people would have said to the Jews, There is something wrong about your faith, and if this thing goes on we shall hold you in some degree answer able for the consequences
 We should see where the bad spot is in our faith, and endeavor to remove it. The stories of Abraham, who would have slain his own child, and of Jephthah, who mur- dered his own daughter, are stories locked up in a system of faith. God could have nothing to do with such black intentions. The churches still hold to the idea that the whole Biblei is divinely inspired book, There are preachers who recite its myths and legends in dramatic and impressive manner to susceptible audiences as if thf V were events of yesterday, and occurred only little way up the Hudson. It is not an uncommon thing to hear of men who have gone mad under the influence of such teaching. This bigotry to the Bible. this bondage to the letter, makes men com init murder.
 "Let us say to these churches and min isters, Here is something you must look tol' It was asked of Col. Ingersol after the assassination, 'What can you say to comfort us now? Not one word!' AL | though this is true it is also true that there is nothing in MT. Ingersoll's belief that would have prompted Guiteau to the com- mission of his crime. We must say to the ministers, You must revise your standards and take this evil doctrine out of them. It is an insult to the white majesty of Heaven.' The old black custom of human sacrifice should be plotted out. We must appeal to the insight of our b1etkren, to their grace, to their good sense, and ask them seriously to consider what they say and think"

During the past week one of the leading Dry Goods Houses of the City, has been selling Dress Goodsat a price which every lady knows is far below the cost of impor- tation and about half the real value. The goods are one and quarter yards wide, and every thread of the finest wool. It might be impertinent to ask where they get them, and how they do it. But that they do it, is fact, and the Store, is the Bee Hive, corner of Main and Temple sts.

Destitution and Desnair.

We clip the following items from the columns of the New York SUa. It seems strange somehow to hear of such cases in Christian land of abundance and plen- ty:
 Mrs. Mini Lambert, an aged widow, has lived with her nine children for two years in the tenement house at 63 Grand street, Hoboken. She has earned 8 living for herself and children by doing washing. On Monday, when the owner of the house went to Mrs. Lambert for months rent, she did not have the money. Yesterday 8 constable began removing her furniture from the room. After all the furniture had been placed upon the sidewalk in>front of the house, Mrs. Lambert, who with her children, had been crying during it's re- moval, went to closed, and seizing large carving knife, drew it across her throat, inficting an ugly wound. She was about to repeat the act, when the constable en- tered the room and disarmed her. She was removed to a hospital. Her children were taken care of by neighbors.
 Three small children were huddled to- gether last night on some bedding, which, with other household goods, was strewn upon the side walk in front of 281 Mul- berry street. They were children of Mrs. Reilly, whose husband Patrick went away month ago and has not returned. Mrs. Reilly had no money to pay her rent, and her furniture was put out of the house on Wednesday. Her son, 25 years old, who is sick with consumption, was taken into the rooms of neighbor, but the mother and her other children spent the night on the sidewalk. Yesterday Mrs. Reilly got money enough to buy her children some bread, but she told them that they would have to spend the night in the street. A big white dog that has shared their pow erty since Reilly disappeared watched over the homeless children while they sl,pt.

ton of the government in prohibiting
the existence of any fleet or army for
fifty years.

PORT ROYAL HARBOR.

Admiral Porter Respecting 1t.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-D. c. Wilson,
President of the Port Royal Railroad, and
Hon. VIM. Elliott, Of Beaufort, s. c., are
here opposing the abandonment Of the naval
station at Port Royal, s. c., as is indicated
to be the policy by the withdrawal of the
New Hampshire. They were strongly
backed by Senator Hampton, who
called with them upon the President
yesterday. The delegation was received
kindly by Mr.. Garfield, who was much In
terested in the statement that the duties
paid at the Beaufort custom house were
equal to those paid at Charleston and Sa-
vannah together, while the expenses of
collection were only twentieth part of
either one of those ports. The Secretary of
the Navy was visited, as was also Admiral
Porter. The result is that a promise was
secured that Port Royal would be continued
as a naval station, and another ship would
soon take the place of the New Hampshire.

There is no LONGER hone entertaint

There is no longer hope entertained
by the fruit growers of Delaware of any
profit from peaches in that State this
season. Not in twenty-five years has
there been a worse showing, and not
only have the growers given up all hope
of having crop this season, but the
belief is general among them that a
great majority of the peach trees
have been killed, while almost all
the rest of them have been SO
injured as to make them use
less. Many Of the most enterprising
growers are already making arrange
ments for planting new orchards to take
the place Of the trees which they be-
lieve to be dead or dying. Should the
fear of growers prove correct that the
peach orchards of the State have been
practically destroyed, it will result in a
serious loss, as no less than $4,000, 900
are invested in peach cultivation on the
peninsula, more than half of which is
invested in Delaware.

The Royal Pair Unfted-ImpOsing
Ceremonies at Vienna.

VIENNA, May 10.-The marriage Of the
Crown Prince Rudolph, of Austria, and
Princess Stephanie, of Belgium. was most
imposingly solemnized at the Church Of st.
Augustine to- day. An immense multitude
collected in the streets through which the
Imperial and Royal personages proceeded
to the church. An hour before the COM
mencement Of the ceremony the church
was densely crowded by a brilliant and
striking assembly. A fanfare of trumpets
signalled the arrival of the cortege at the
church door, where 1t was received by Car
dinal Van Schwa zeI berg at the head of his
clergy. Their Majesties took seats under
the canopy of the throne.
The bridal party proceeded to their places
before the sactuary rails, where they offer
ed prayer. After brief address from the
Cardinal, the marriage ceremony was pro-
ceeded with, and the moment the rings were
exchanged peals broke forth from the bells
of the city and salutes OF artillery were
fred. At the conclusion Of the ceremony
the Ie De1m was sung, after which the
Hofburg choir executed an old German
march. The newly married pair, accom-
panied by the other Imperial and Royal
personages, then returned to the city palace
Of HOtburg.

Discussing the proposition to make
New Orleans free port, the Democrat
says: 1--WE have always advocated the
propriety of taking steps to make this a
free port. We can see that. sooner or
later, it is inevitable, and we think that
it is the part of wisdom to take the step
by subscription or taxation now, when
the advantages to be derived are greater
than they are ever likely to be again.
Such an act would concentrate the atten:
tion of the whole commercial world upon
New Orleans. 1t would show that
we are in earnest in our bid for
trade AMI that we are worthy of the vast
favors showered upon us by nature. We
should thus forestall New York; fix and
confirm the present tendency of business
in this direction; assure the future de-
velopment and greatness of our city.
The suggestion is worthy of the most
serious consideration. 1t can be real
lied for less than $780, 600 per annum,
and its consummation would be worth
ten times that amount to the port"

twenty years has shown that the payments
imposed upon peasant for land received

transfer will begin. In the meantime
the annual payments will be reduced
forthwith to rate which the peasants are
able to pay, and assistance will be afforded
them to redeem their holdings. The gov
eminent will assume the payment Of 9,000,-

the accumulated profits of the State banks,
now amounting to about 100, 600, ,000 roubles.
