An Irish National Convention, the calling of
which we mentioned several weeks ago, as
sembled at Chicago on Wednesday, attended
by some 800 delegates Its object Is said to
be, to enter solemn protest against the sus-
pension of constitutional rights in Ireland, to
endorse the ideas of Parnell, and to devise
means to encourage and and the downrodden
people over there IN the struggle to regain
their rights. VIM. J. Hynes was elected tenn
porary chairman, being succeeded by the Kev
Geo c. Belts, of St. Louis, as permanent pre-
sdent. Most Of the time up to Thursday
evening was apparently taken up in passing

The Judicial Conference OF the METHODIST
Episcopal Church, to which DIR. II. W. Thorn
as ha appealed from the decision of the Rock
River Conference in October last, met at Terre
Haute on Tuesday, and after two days discu us,
sion, refused to hear the appeal on the ground
that the "culprlt" had forfeited his right to
hearing by disobeying the injunction OF the
X. r Conference not to preach until after his
appeal had been passed upon The effect OF
the refusal is the ending of the case and the ad-
mlnlstration to the recalcltrant Doctor, in the
elegant language of the head line writer OF the
Chicago Times "the parting rite OF the grand
bounce" from the Nj. f.. Church.

The Champaign Herald hits the nail on the
head exactly in the center and drives it home
at single stroke in Its remarks on the clever
trick by which John A. Logan succeeded IN
Mahone.lzlng David Davis-as follows:
lfany one supposes John A. Logan is fool
he Is badly left 1t was display of The Keen
eat foresight, when he put up the job" on
David Davis, and had him elected president
OF the senate He shelved that gentlemen ior-
ever as presidential candidate. The demo
cratic party won't have him now, and the re-
publican party never wanted him, and so the
old gentleman is eilectually fixed He's too
large for the greenback faction to handle 1t
was good sized trap that Senator Logan set
but it caught Mr.. Davis. This illustrates that
even as u great man as Senator Davis can be
entlced by little first class tally. Men may
he ever so great, but they all like it,-taily.
Senator Logan makes first class political
confectioner, aud Is entitled TO the thanks OF
the democratic party for relieving them of the
embarrassment of nominating renegade re-
publican rs their candidate for president.

A national high tariff convention, attended
by 500 delegates, met IN New York on Tues
day. The body of the delegates are wealthy
men who have become such by levying large
subsidies on the people in the shape of protec'
tive duties on imports and who, having be-
come fearful that the people may become so
FESTIVE under the burden that they will demand
of congress at least its partial removal, went TO
work up a counter sentiment on tue opposite
side. Considering that protection now costs
the agricultural ana laborIng classes OF the
country at least $500 100000 year and Its ben
eflclares have met TO beg an increase OF the
burden, 1t seems a small thing that people
have begun to complain of the paltry $loo,-

DEATH OF THE BUCKEYE BLACKSMITH.
John w. Baer, widely known in Po-
litical circles IS the Buckeye Black
smith," was found dead in chair Wed
nesday of last week, at bis residence in
Philadelphia. He made his appearance
in the Harrison campaign of 1889 as a
stump speaker, and attracted much at
,ention by his ready wit and backwoods
manner Of speaking. He appeared in
every campaign during the existence Of
the old whig party, and afterwards as
champion OF Fremont, Lincoln and
Grant. His sentiments were Of the
most ra9ica! character, and 10 bis public
speeches he lasbed his opponets without
mercy. He was born in the year 1900,
in Ohio, and made his FIRST political
speeches in the Henry Clay campaign
in that State. He was appointed by
President Lincoln TO position in the
Baltimore custom-house, and wss by
President Grant transferred to the Gus

WOIAN's WORK.

Darning little stockings
For restless little feet;
Washing little faces
To keep them clean and sweet:
Hearing Bible lessons,
Teaching Catechisms,
Praying for salvation
From heresy and schisms-
Woman's work!
Sewing on the buttons,
Overseeing rations,
Soothing with kind word
Others lamentations;
Guiding clumsy Bridgets,
Coaxing sullen cooks,
Entertaining company,
Aud reading recent books
Womans work.
Burying out of sight
Her own unhealing smarts;
Letting in the sunshine
On other clouded hearts;
Binding up the wounded,
Healing of the sick,
Bravely marching onward
Through dangers dark and thick
Woman's work!
Leading little children
And blessing manhood's years.
Showing 10 the sinful
How Gods forgiveness cheers;
Scattering sweet roses
Along anothers path;
Smiling by the wayside,
Content with what she hath
Womau's work
Letting fall her own tears,
When only God can see;
Wiping off another's
With tender sympathy;
Learning by experience,
Teaching by example,
Yearning for the gateway,
Golden, peafly, ample
Woman's work
At last cometh silence
A day of deep repose;
Her locks smoothly braided,
Upon her breast rose;
Lashes resting gently
Upon the marble check;
A look of blessed peace
Upon forehead meek!

pended the little fellow by the head
