CoNsrABLEs IN IRELAND.--The Irish
constabulary is in some respects the
most remarkable police force in the
world. Candidates for admission to
its RANKS must be over five feet nine
inches high, between the ages OF eight
cen and twenty-three, and sound in
wind and limb. The recruits are
drilled in all respects like new recruits
in the army, for six months. They are
required, also, to go to school, and re-.
ceive special instruction in the powers
and duties of the police force. The
statutes are explained to the new men,
and they are taught the proper mode Of
action in detecting, preventing, or ar
resting, particular classes of offenses.
No member of the constabulary force
can be stationed in his native county,
but they are given places in counties
next adjoining their own. At night
they are armed with repeating rifles
and with swords. The whole force can
be concentrated in twelve battalions in
twenty -four hours.

An EX-SenatOr's Disgrace.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Times tells the sad
story Of graduate of Harvard, a bril-
liaut man, who became an eminent ed
ucAtor, and served the GOvernenment
in public Office several years in q
Southern State. When the State was
reconstructed he was elected to tho
United States Senate, and served with
distinction for six years.
He was chairman on the committee
on education and labor and member
of the appropriations and other impor-
tant committees. He was very strong
and pleasing speaker and stood high
among his colleagues.
After his term expired he was APP
pointed Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, and was at times acting Secretary.
1t was here that he fell. Hswas courted
and battered and used. Wine, cards
and women Iii 4 their part to accomplish
his fall, and the misunderstanding Iost

He was speedily got out, however,
but he became wretchedly poor and got
to borrowing fifty cent pieces of his old
friends 1t was a pitiful sight to see
him about and know what he had
been.
Finally somebody had him appointed
to a twelve-hundred dollar clerk

it was thought that he might pick up
and recover, but he didn't. He had
got passion for gambling, and when
ever lie could obtain any money he
sought the tiger, and, of course, lost it,
and soon he lost his little clerkship.

A Man who said "Yes" to Every
thing,

An Englishman who had been able to
transact some business very intelligent
ly went into saloon for beer and to
his establishment found he could no:
speak. Otherwise lie was as we'll and
strong Us ever. On arriving at home
he could say only ooh, dear! oh, dear!"
This continued fortnight, after which
he gradually regained his speech, but
was still unable to write. An intelli-
gent, cheerful old gentleman who
could preside at dinner, eat with his
left hand, give signs to the servants to
pass various articles, and play an ex-
cellent game of cards, could only reply
"yes' to anything asked him. Sc How
old are you?" "Yes." Chow long
have you been ill z" "Yes." He was
not satisfied, however, with these re-
plies, and made impatient gestures,
looking pleased when questions to
which "yes" could be properly ans
wered were put to him. One day a
lady picked up his handkerchief and
he said to her, in loud and distinct
voice, "thanks r. His friends all
thought he had recovered his power of
speech, and he was implored to say the
word again. It was repeated to him
aloud, and he tried, but it was all in
vain. He never succeeded in saying
that or anything but 'yes' again.

Anderson Intell!Scncer.

Il is certainly a misfortune. III ma
terial point OF view, FOR q man to give
lien, but it is DO greater 'uIstortune
than to buy on credit The lien law
IS nothing more nor less than short
and cheap method of giving credit to
the map of small means. Ii It should
be repealed, the system OF mortgages
upon the crops would be substituted,
and instead Of costing fifteen cents,
would cost several dollars, to be paid
BY the luao obtaining the credit, and
then, if it should he:olne necessary to
enforce the mortgage, the cost Of fore
closure would be very much greater
than the costs for enforcing the lien,
as at present provided. The 81,
preue Court Of this State has decided
IN the case Of Moore vs.. Byrum, that
at Common Law a man has the right
to mortgage crop, even before 1t is
planted, and where it is TO be grown
upon the lands of another so that
by aboGshing the lien law this course
could be resorsed 20, which, from ne-
cessity, would be more expensive aud
more injurious as system. lhe
lien law has growu up since the war
but so has the homestead, and the
one is the almost necessary accom-
panimeut Of the other. If 1t were not
for the homestead law, there would
not be so much necessity for the lieu

him a basis of credit. As it is now,
no man has any credit upoc his
property, unless be owns more than
one shoussud dollars worth Of real

Of personal property, so that to 'hoSe
who own less than this amount OF
property, the lien is convenient aud
