THE GIRAFFE PHILOSOPHERS
Having withdrawn from the Show,
the Giraffe and the Trick Mule retired
Short Distance, where they Waited
either to be Sent For or to see the Show
Break Up. To While away the Time
they sang with Deep Feeling, DO
they miss Me at Home?'-The Pole
Cat playing the Organ, and Each of
the others playing the Lyre. A Sud-
den Burst of Merriment from the De-
serted Show interrupted the Harmony.
'Harkr said the Giraffe. What means
this UnseemIy Mirth at Time when
Absolute and Irremediable Ruin
threatens the Entire Circus?' i think
said the Trick Mule, with that Solemn
Air of Resignation which was all that
Saved him from Being Ridiculous
l.
Friends in the Circus are doing Little
Ground and Lofty Tumbling for the
Amusement of the General Public.
just then came a Shout, Three
Cheers for Robertson!' and immediate
ly afterward, three cheers for Garfieldv
and Great Demonstrations of Applause
followed. The Trick Mule Burst into
Tears, remarking, Who will Care for
Mother Now?' and the Pole Cat Broke
Out in a Perspiration, the effects of
which were Felt at the Distance of a
Mile. But the Giraffe, Pulling Him.

MIR. Bright, in his discussion of
the land bill now before the English
House of Commons, made a special
plea in defence of the emigration claus
es Mr.. Bright, according to the tele-
graphic dispatch, said that if great
feet assembled at Cork or Galway of
fering o free passage to the whole pop
ulation of Ireland it was probable that
alI-certainly that would find
their way to the United States, which
opened the door to everybody. Mr..
Bright further observed that he would
be sorry to see Irishmen 60, but while
emigration would be hardship to par
ents it would be deliverance to the
children from poverty and suffering.
So far as America is concerned we have
no objection to any policy of emigra-
ton. Every honest, able-bodied hu-
man being who comes to America is a
material mathematical addition to the
wealth, strength and moral influence
of the country. We think it confess
ion of extreme weakness on the part of
great government like England that
the only way to solve question of So
cial economy is to Danish the people
from the land of their birth, from the
home of their ancestors The sentiment
of affection for ones own home, for the
soil on which he was borne, is the
strongest in human nature. 1t is among
the most beautiful and commendable of
our feelings. From it springs patriot
ism, loyalty, fidelity to church and
home. The Irishman is especially
noted for his clinging attachment to
the soil, to his country, which is among
the most beautiful islands of the earth.
1t cannot be that race of men who
have made their mark in every other
part of the world should be incapable
of governing Ireland so as to make it in
moral, material and commercial pros
perity equal to England or Scotland.
