IRISH AFFAIRS. telegraphs
The New York Tribune as follows res
pecting Irish affairs: Ireland is still the
bitterest element in the ministerial pro-
gramme TIE increased outrages during
the past fortnight have led The Times
and other journals to demand further
measures of repression. It is considered
that this step is foreshadowed in Lord
Monks and Lord Cowper's recent speeches
1t is true that the decisions of the land
court have been Immediately followed by
calm, but none Of the outrages seem to
be the result of organized action. The
Land League is absolutely dead, but its
teachings linger and bear intermittent
fruit as the result of individual action.
The ''no rent manifesto encouraged a
few outbursts of vindictiveness, but the
land court is so free to access and its
decisions are so rapidly given and so CON-
pletely favorable to the tenant that the
result must be pacific. Months may be
required to eradicate the three years,
lawlessness. The government decline to
adopt the advice or impatient friends.
Private reports show that rent is more
freely paid. A significant case has oc-
CURED on Pollard Urquhart's estate.
Thirty laborers were dismissed because
Mr.. Urquhart got no rents. The labcrers
thereupon compelled the farmers to pay
up. The ministers will take no further
repressive steps till they see effects of tho
winter. But if such should be necessary
they will not hesitate. The cabinet are
determined at all costs to maintain the
law and give chance to the land court.

GARFIELD MONUMENT FUND.-T'o the
People Of Jefferson County:
The Wisconsin Managers of the Gar
field Monument Fund have decided to
rely upon the agency of Coulty and City
Superintendent in organizing the work
for raising such portion of this fund as
can be secured in Wisconsin.
1t has been thought that our teachers
would take special interest in soliciting
and making contributions, and that the
people would esteem it pleasure to con-
tribute, not only as a tribute to the mem
ory OF noble man, but in recognition
of his services for the cause of education.
Every principal of a high or a graded
school, and every teacher of our district
schools, is hereby requested to promptly
accept the appointment of solicitor for
this fund. The amount raised should be
forwarded to my address, on or before
the 1st day of January, 1882. Yours
very respectfully,
G. l.. HUBBs, Co. Supt.

HOW CASHIER IOMfk1NO hOOI %o,VoOV'
Another cashier George W. Tomp-
kins, has been dividing his financial tai
ent in New York between bank OF
discount and faro bank, and the faro
bank has the better of the other bank to
the amount of $4,000. He was en-
ployed by Hatch & Peters, bankers, and
on or Saturday he confessed that he had
lost at gaming the sum above named,
ali Of it going out of the Golfers of his
employers. There is this redeeming
feature in the case, that Tompkins kept
as strict account with the gamblers as
he did with the customers of his en-
ployers. The date of each game, the
amount lost or won each time, the dens
where the tigers were bucked, and the
proprietors of the same were all entered
systematically. It thus happens that
Hatch & Peters are able to bring cult
against the faro dealers to recover the
money.-Utica Herald.

them a trial, although do not think he be-
leved they would cure me, for | was so sick
at this time that no one thoughtt that l would

"A woman named Blynn, residing
near Forest Grove, N. j., died the other
day under rather singular circum-
stances. Finding it necessary to have
some teeth extracted, and not liking to
resort to gas or chloroform, she re-
solved to try what virtue there was in
whisky. She called upon c. X. Fish,
dentist OF North Vineland, to have her
teeth extracted. Before submitting to
the operation however, she drank half
pint of ordinary whisky, and in few
minutes followed it with half pint of
Jersey apple-jack. This mixture of
drinks produced the desired uncon-
seriousness, during which the teeth were
pulled. In short time she revived, but
only to become wild with delirium, her
rawlings having all the appearance of
one in the last stage of tremens. Be-
coming exhausted, she lapsed into a
semi-conscious condition, and, gradual
ly growing weaker, in few hours she
died.

Chinese War Vessels.

A firm of English ship-builders is
building two remarkable vessels for the
Chinese navy. The Chinese authorities
designate these two vessels as ram
cruisers, and the title, though somewhat
ambitious, may yet be justified. The
vessels are provided with rams, which,
like the hull, are of steel, and the coal
carrying capacity Is equal to four days
at full speed, or twentY-eight days at
half speed. They are unarmored and
the displacement is only 1,430 tons,
while the speed is fully sixteen knots
per hour. Propulsion is given by twin
screws and the engines work up to q
400 indicated horsepower. Instead OF
carrying only one gun, as in the pre-
vious vessels, these new ships carry two
twenty-six-ton ten-inch breech-loaders,
and four forty-pounder breech-loaders
of the new type. Each OF the big guns is
lodged in a species of turret, or circular
splinter-proofs screen, one at the bow and
the other at the stern, comforting the
advantage of nearly an all-round fire.
These guns take charge of 100 pounds
of powder and fire projectile of 400
pounds, with velocity of 1000 feet per
second, the penetrating power being
equal to twenty inches of iron. A yes
sci of the same design has been built by
the firm for another foreign govern
ment, and has been lately tried at sea,
the guns firing heavy charges without
any damage to the vessel or the lnachin-
cry. A speed of sixteen knots per hour
was maintained during a run of forty
knots. These vessels will shortly be
taken out to China by Chinese crews,
under the command of Admiral Ting,
who distinguished himself as General
in the war against the Taepings and was
afterwards made an Admiral. The pro-
duction of vessels capable of carrying
so powerful an armament, and travel
ing at SO high speed, with so great a
coal capacity, and yet having so limited
dimensions, is a result, says the London
Times, which can not fail to attract
considerable notice.

DIR. Emil HoInb. the distipouisbed

DIR. Emil Holub, the distinguished
African traveller and author, is young
Austrian physician, who has had wide
and exact scientific training, and who
has had longing to explore Africa
from his boyhood. As soon as his
education was complete he started for
his field of work in as deliberate and
business-like way as if he had gone to
settle down to the practice of his pro-
fession. Indeed, he simply made use
of his medical knowledge to obtain the
means wherewith to carry out what he
seems to regard as the work of his life
the scientific exploration of Africa.
He frankly tells us that he landed at
Port Elizabeth with only ten shillings
in his pocket; but happily he soon
found friends, and his profession stood
him in good stead.

DR. SCHENCK: ta..I
Dear Sir-About four years ago was taken
sick with what my physician told me was
Consumption of the Lungs. l had bad
cough, and was reduced very much in my
weight. At different times, had seven ply
sieians of this place and also one from
Bloom sburg, attending me, and although
they all thought they could help me, l grew
worse very fast under their treatment. Twas
compelled to give up all business for two
years, and no one believed, nor did l myself
believe, that l should ever get well. One
day | happened to call at Mr.. Auburn Smiths
Drug Store, in this place, and picked up one
OF your pamphlets. In reading the certifi-
Gates Of cures, found one case SO nearly like
my own that l at once concluded to give your
Medicines trial l bought the Seaweed
Tonic, Pulmonic Syrup and Mandrake Pills,
and began their use according to the printed
directions, and can truly say, that from the
first saw marked improvement in all my
symptoms. This encouraged me to continue
their use until | was entirely we'll l have
had good health since my recovery, and be-
lieve your Medicines saved my life. know
OF several other persons in this city that have
been cured by your remedies.

Packing Eggs.

The secret of packing eggs for impor-
tation lies in solid packing with an elias
tic material between the layers. Be
sure, especially in the summer season,
that the eggs to be shipped are not only
of the cars so muddles all eggs not en-
tirely fresh that they appear cloudy and
stale, and will soon spoil if they are not
already bad. Do not hold lots after
they are packed; ship at once while
fresh. A New York commission mer-
chant furnishes the following directions
for packing eggs for shipment: Use long,
stiff barrels. Put two or three inches
thickness of long, soft hay or straw
evenly over the bottom of the barrel,
then tine-cut straw or wheat chaff
Oever use oat or buckwheat chaff) to
depth of two or three inches, then
layer of eggs laid upon the sides evenly
embedded in the packing, with the ends
toward the barrel, but fully an inch
from the slaves. Cover this LAYER of
eggs with packing to the depth of one
inch, rub we'll in between the eggs with
the hand. Place about three inches of
packing material over the last layer, and
then about the same quantity of long
straw or hay as at the bottom, filing so
high that the head must be pressed by
lever or other mechanical power. This
will hold the contents so firmly that they
cannot shift in the barrel. In winter
guard against frost by using more pack
ing material, leaving the eggs further
removed from the packages. Never
pack in new oats, straw or chaff; these
will sweat and rot the eggs in short
time. Dry oats make good packing
material, but are too expensive. Do
not crowd too many eggs in one pack
age. For an ordinary flour barrel from
sixty-five to seventy dozen are quite suf-
fcient. Put, say, four and half dozen
in the first layer, and increase, half a
dozen to the layer, up to six and half
dozen in the two middle layers, then de-
crease again at the same rate. Count
carefully-mark the number on the bar
rel. In warm weather forward the
packages by express. When only a
small quantity of eggs are sent, and at
short distances, those may be packed in
mill-board partitions, an egg in each
square cell, thirty-six in a layer, resting
on cardboard sheets, one above another,
and the whole contained in a handy
sized packing-case. Or, with careful
packing in straw and chaff, baskets may
be used. When there is q sufficient
quantity to fill it, barrel makes the
best package.-N. y World.
