Col. BROOKS, the American consul at
Cork, has investigated the case of Henry
O'Mahoney, now in Jail on charge of at
tempting the life of Justice of the peace
at Ballydehob. The accused is a natural
lied citizen of the United States, but has

In imitation of the nihilists. the gam
bling fraternity of Madrid have been of
late placing explosives in public places,
which, ignited, would cause loss of life and
damage to buildings. One of these shells
fearfully mangled three children. A
young man was arrested while placing a
bomb in public square. The object was
to induce the authorities to cease the pros
ecution of the gamblers.
An Italian newspaper which is rep
resented by an English correspondent as
expressing the general feeling in Italy,
says that France DESTROYS in some degree of
blotting out the shame of her defeat in
1870, and conscious at the same time that
she is unable to measure swords with Ger
many, seeks in every possible way to pro-
woke a war with Italy. The journal in
question advises the Italians to be patient,
to bide their time, and, if the worst come
to be prepared to meet the exigencies, and
to choose the occasion for a war. This is
plain talk enough.

What we Live For.

''What is life?" some one asked
Montford. His answer is one Of the
most charming things ever written:
''The present life is sleeping and
waking; it is good night, on going to
bed, and good morning on getting up;
it is to wonder what the day will bring
forth; it is rain on the window when
one sits by the fire; it is walk in the
garden and see the flowers and hear
the birds sing; it is to hear news from
east, west, north and south; it is to
read old books and new books; it is to
see pictures and hear music. it it to
have Sundays; it is to have breakfast
and dinner and tea; it is to belong 10 a
town and have neighbors, and to be-
come one in circle of acquaintance;
it is to have friends and love; it is to
have sight at dear old faces; and it
is to know themselves thought of many
times a day, in many places, by many
children and grandchildren and many
friends"

Keep Cool.

"The horse that frets is the horse
that sweats," is an old saying of horse
men, and is just as true of men as Of
horses. The man who allows himself
to get irritated at every little thing
that goes amiss in business, or in the
ordinary affairs Of life, is man that, as
a rule will accomplish little and wear
out early. He is a man for whom bile
and dyspepsia have particular fond
ness, and for whom children have a
particular aversion. He is a man with
a perpetual thorn in his flesh, which
pricks, and wounds at the slightest
movement; man for whom life has
little pleasure and the future small
hope.

GEN. GARFIELD did nov want TO go to
Chicago as delegate. He would not
have gone, perhaps, had not friend OF
Secretary Sherman urged the latter to
induce Gen. Garfield to accept a place
in the delegation. How that friend
came to do this is one of the singular
accidents of history. He was on tram
in Ohio which it was intended should
make connection with another train at
the junction of two roads. A COW,
driven by boy toward home, ran on
the track and was struck by the locomo-
tive, which had its wheels displaced by
the shock. Two hours were consumed
in repairing the damage, and, when the
junction was reached, the other train
had passed. The gentleman found he
must wait five hours at the little station,
but was delighted to find there an old
friend from distant part of the State.
This friend, who was also an enthusiasts
tic admirer Of Sherman, thought it OF
the utmost importance that Gen. Gar
field should lead the Ohio delegation in
the Chicago Convention, and was SO
earnest in the matter that the gentle
man whom he had thus accidentally met
consented to write and urge the Secre-
tary to make personal request to this
effect. He did SO, the Secretary made
the request, and Gen. Garfield went TO
Chicago. Had he not done so he would,
in all probability, be alive to-day, a
Senator Of the United States.

The Origin Of " Ta.ta."

For several years American paragra-
piers have been using the old Southern
expression. "ta-ta," as term of humor-
Gus farewell, thus giving it meaning
entirely different from that it started out
il life with; and how it ever came TO be
applied in that way is little surprising
to any one TO the Southern "manner
born, and especially to any one familiar
with the idioms of the South of ante
bellum days.
No one who was ever petted, loved
and spoiled by kind old black ''mam-
my" can ever forget that "ta-ta," in
baby dialect. is thank you," or, to give
an exact definition from our unwritten
vocabulary, "thanky." They can never
forget mammy's coaxingly reproving
tones, nor her "churchy," when, in cor
recting some childish forgetfulness, the
omission of thanks for some slight ia
vor, the gift of an apple, or perhaps a
stalk of sugar cane. she would say,
"Honey, where's yo' manners? Whyn't
yo' saw 'ta-ta?" For more valuable
present her words would have been:
"Tell the lady you're much obleeged, T"
or Obliged, ii she happened to b. a
little careful III her pronunciation, as
many house servants were; but FOR al
trihing gifts "ta-ta was the popular
term for the very little folks. OF course
as the children grew larger this pet way
of expressing thanks was laid aside with
their baby ccthes: and the "churchy -
that nanny had taught them--a funny
substitute Tor bow, consisting ouiy in
a sudden bending of the knees. watch
caused comical dip down and up--was
put away with the juggling rhymes of
early chi ldhood
"Ta-ta'" belongs exclusively to the
little ones it il as peculiarly the ir own
as are "catty cats" and this little pig
went to market" and oil those other
wonderful things belonging to child life
To the great world "ta-ta" is nothing
but ludicrous expression but TO many
of us there Is som thing half touching,
half comical, in the quaint old worls
that bring back so wildly the days
when we planted raisin seeds, rode stick
horses, believed in giants, knew that the
fairies were hiding in the ferns and that
pots of gold we're awaiting us at the end
of the ainbow.-Pledsdnt RiderhoOd.
