Are One Irish Turbulentg

Philadelphia Times.l
The Irish race are turbulent, as the
Mississippi is turbulent, when the
venturesome hand ofman seeksto carry
its majestic channel through an mad
equate aperture they are turbulent as
the ocean when the storm disturbs its
equipose they are turbulent as all
men are when the heel of the spoiler
is on their neck, when the might that
is not right seeks to make them flesh
of hated flesh, bone of hated bone,
when the destiny Of conquest without
the magnamity Of kinship seeks to win
them over to a race whose every ut
terance is an insult and a wrong. They
are a difficult people to deal with, as
the children of Israel we're difficult
under the strange dominion ofEgypt.
But if they were all these reasons and
more than these without cause, it is
not for an Englishman to say it in a
country where their citizenship has
illustrated the best type Of civilized
society.

UnWilGing Separation Of n Newly
Married Pair.

About ten days ago Mr.. J.. Santley
Jones welded 8 very lovsble and &C.
complished farmers daughter near
AshtabuIa, Ohio. John Santley wasa
man in moderate circumstances, while
his fair bride had a father who put
money enough in his ehild's pocket
book on the wedding day-to aid the
couple a little.
Under the favorable prospects Of
future 1nbroken happiness, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones started for a honeymoon
trip through the sunny land Of the
South. Neither had ever been a
hundred miles away from home, ex-
cept when attending school, and they
wanted to visit the genial ATTITUDES,
where the cotton and the sugrr-eane
grows.
In due time they arrived at st.
Louis and there they embarked on
the splendid steamer Belle Mem
phis, which vessel passed here
on her way to Yicksburg some three
days ago. The sights and scenes along
the great river we're both interesting
and instructive to the youthful pair.
They were not Of the type who spend
all their time in billing and cooling,
though an outsider would a. once
conclude hey were newly married.
There were fines when the amiable
couple were wholly oblivious to sur
roundings, and knew not that others
had eyes to gaze with. There were
other periods when Mr.. Jones had an
eye to business, and was curious about
surrounding scenes and novelties.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleas
ures Of the voyage until the fourishing
little city Of Helena was reached.
Here business detained the steamer
for a couple Of hours or more and Mr..
Jones went up town. While strolling
about he viited the cotton seed oil
mill 1t wasa new thing to Jones;
newer, indeed than matrimony, and
while examining the process of crush
ing cotton seed, squeezing oil there.
from and preparing cake for market,
time passed rapidly. Indeed, Jones
forgot himself, and the boat pushed
off leaving him in the oil mill.
When Jones went to the wharfboat
the panorama before him was anything
but pleasing. In the lar distance the
graceful steamer was passing from
view around the point into the next
bend below. He took ia the situation
at a glance, and from a quiet frame Of
mind suddenly became half frantic

were hat his wife would be apt to ge
of somewhere TO return and searcl
for him. He vas nonplussed, worried
and harassed so that he didn't actual,

WETTING THE STREETS.

To The News.
There seems to be growing tendency
to convert our streets into mud puddles.
In the Spring Mount Holly is noted for
mud-has wide reputation. Now why
are our streets made muddy in dry wealth
er? What good end is gained? To
sprinkle the streets to lay dust is one
thing and proper but to create mud fell
loe deep is quite another. A carriage
clean and in good condition, cannot get
through Mount Holly without being need
lessly besmeared and marred. Carriages
have rights. All other roads may be en-
tirely free from mud, but as soon as Mt.
Holly is reached there is no getting
through without great annoyance. Why
this everlasting squirting of water? If
there was some specified time Tor the
wetting there would be some chance o
getting through the streets without hav-
ing mud splashed over the carriages. But
one squirls in the morning, some all
through the day and others wind up in
the evening, so there is but little chance
for escape.
Now, these mud puddles-artifcial-
are great annoyance to all who drive
fairly clean carriages ladies cannot get
in or out without the liability of getting
against the muddy wheels.
Ifthis terrible street wetting Ito excess
must go on, let one suggestion be made,
don't wet the crossings. 1t does no good
and is great annoyance to ladies who
have to walk over them, for the loose sand
aud dirt on them when wet make depth
of mud that soils and annoys. A. G.

The general return Of our citizens
from the seaside, mountains and dells,
give to our streets their usual busy
