The Mutual Dislike of England and
Ireland.

The most disheartening feature in this new
struggle between ireland and Britain-for it is
a struggle, though the field is, as it were, law
court instead of the rope lists-is the evidence
it affords, evidence, We hope, only apparent,
that the irreconcilability of the two nations,
their mutual, steady dislike has not its basis
in history alone. 1t has always been attrib-
uted by observers to the long oppression one
race has suffered from the other, and we may
hope this is true, for then the hatred will die
away at last; but the evidence does not point
in that direction.
On the contrary, the evidence, whether mis-
read or not, suggests the belief that the dis
taste which divides the peoples Is unaffected by
fair dealing, by justice, and even by sympa-
thetic consideration. The Irishman, indi vid-
ually the man in all Europe most sensitive to
the claim of gratitude, takes in his corporate
capacity favors from the Englishman without
acknowledgment in his heart, and without
surrendering his impression that his very good
friend is, on the whole, very disagreeable
acquaintance, with whom he had rather not be
on speaking terms. And the Englishman, in
dividually so generous that he likes best those
whom he has benefited, grants his favors in
this case without pleasure, and without the
sense that mis- own imprescriptable, unfavor-
able impression is at all removed. There is a
dislike between the two peoples which all the
legislation OF the past half-century, legislation
directed only to reconciliation, has not re-
moved, has scarcely even softened.

The Hero and the Dog,

A dozen men were watering their throats in
Monroe Avenue saloon yesterday when two
strangers entered, and one of them raised his
voice and called out: Gentlemen, allow me
to introduce you to Captain Green, of Chicago
the hero who was locked up in a room with a
dog for two long hours, armed only with a
piece of lath.''
Several persons at once stepped forward and
shook hands, and invited Captain Green to
drink. He had imbibed three glasses of beer
and got two cigars in his pocket, when one of
the men queried, "You must have felt purity
skeary?"

"Was the dog mad?"

"And you kept him off with the lath?''
Eyes"
"well, I don't want any of that. Locked in,
were you?"
"Yes."
"Couldn't have got out if the dog had been
too much for you?"
"No."
We'll, you were a hero, and that's fact.
What breed of dog was it?'
II think they call it a poodle" quietly re-
piled the hero, a5 he slid for the door.
The crowd slid after him, but the first man
out of doors always has the best show to use
his legs.

DISASTER TO BRITISH SHIPPING.

One hundred and thirty British and

being an increase of 104 over the pre-.
vious week. The approximate value of
of the property lost is $4,000, 900, of
which f6, 900, 900 represent the British
losses. Eighty-fve vessels, principally
British, were lost off the coast OF the
United Kingdom during the recent gale,
against only twenty wrecks in the early
part of the week in all parts OF the
world. One hundred and thirty-eight
persons were reported lost or missing.
Accounts received subsequent to the
compilation of these statistics say that
fifty-nine fishermen belonging to Burn

have been drowned, and that 14O others
belonging to both places are missing.
