vessel as ever any man did. scud the
Meteor, going from Bermuda to the Isle
Of Wight, 326 miles in twenty-four hours
by observation. On the trial trip Of the
Sappho, after she was 'hipped' and with
the breeze quartering, going down Jer-
sey Beach ! logged her sixteen and half
knots. I logged the Challenge of the
east Of Florida, when going down to the
Caribbean Sea, little faster-seventeen
and half knots. have made, toe, the
shortest time with the wind dead ahead,

abe was centerboard. We beat the
whole feet of keel cracks, the nearest

Lorillard was the best equipped sailing

of: but the Enchantress was horse IN

Carving Wooden Imsges.

dispatch states that Gen. Fuero, commander OF

on the morning Of the 25th ult., near Basque
de Santiago, and whipped them numerically.
Thirty-seven bucks were killed and ten taken
prisoners. The entire camp outfit, including
fifty head Of stock, was captured. The Mexi-
can loss was one officer and eight men killed
and two officers wounded. This, with the
losses sustained in previous fights with United
States and Mexican troops, leaves the hostiles
badly demorahzed. No raids are probable for
some time to come.

THE IRISH MOVEMENT.

1t is interesting at this distance of
time, says the New York Times, to note
the rise and progress of that Irish move
ment which has assumed such important
proportions. The bad harvest of 1883
famed into fierceness the flame of dis
content, and on June 8, 1879, meeting
was held in Mayo by some five thousand
men bearing banners inscribed: "The
Land for the People," "Dowu with
Jobbing Landlords" etc. Mr.. Parnell,
the principal speaker, advocated vigor-
GUS stand against landlords, and resolu-
tion was carried that "any landlord who
evicts a tenant for non-payment of an
unfair rent is an enemy to the human
race, and pledge ourselves to protect by
every means in our power the victims of
such oppression" The Catholic clergy
showed no sympathy. On the contrary,
the octogenarian Roman Catholic Arch
bishop of Tuam, with lifelong expert
ence of Irish politics, condemned the
meeting in advance, as fomented by O
few designing men to promote their per-
sonal interests" and urged his clergy to
point out "that u raiiowed combination
led invariably to disaster, and the firm
er riveting of the chains by which we are
unhappily bound as asubordinate people
to a dominant race" On June 18th
another meeting was held, when yet
more violent speeches were made, at
Midtown, near where Lord Leitrim was
killed. In the fall Mr.. Parnell made an
agitation progress over the country to
organize the National Land League, and
at Tullow insisted that the government
should create a tribunal to determine
what were fair rents. On November 10,
1879, Messrs. Davitt, Killen and DAILY
were arrested for sedition. Mr.. Parnell
came to this country on an agitation
tour in the winter of l879-8O. he was
feted at Cork on his return, when Mr..
Biggar, member of parliament, said:
"They had seen what Hartmann (the
Nihilist) had done in Russia, and he
thought Ireland might be able to pro-
duce another Hartmann"--an expecta.

recommended that man taking farm
from one who had been evicted should.
instead OF being shot, "be put into q
moral coventry, by isolating him from
the rest OF the country, as il he were the
leper Of old" This principle was strict

case OF Capt. Boycott, Lord Erne's
