which she did; he drank it, and it brought him and
his cholera to an end together the next day. The
widow sued the druggist for $1,000 damages bnt

DRTGGISTS, DIFFICULTIES

According to recent trials NewYork druggists
pursue their business under some embarrassments.
Very lately one was sued under these singular cir
cumstancss A woman came TO his store bringing a
physicians prescription which calledfor sixty drops
of laudanun, and she stated that the doctor had
directed her to take II at once. The clerk called the
proprietor who told her that twenty-five

TIE IRISH C1Sk.


Mr.. Justin McCarthy's second paper is de-
fence of the Irish party in Parliament under
Mr. Parnell's leadership since the elections of
1880. At the close of his first letter be con-
tended that his country and his countrymen
in England bore a great part in the Liberal
triumph. He now explains how it came about
that those who had helped TO defeat Lord
Bcaconsfield took their seats on the Opposition
side of the House, although they had great
faith in Mr.. Gladstone and strong hope of the
work he would do for Ireland. Ii was because
Mr.. PaInell perceived the necessity of main
tanning the political Independence of his fol-
lowers until one of the great parties should be
committed to the policy of Home Rule This
is an adroit plea, and his explanation of
the dissatisfaction which Mr.. Gladst0ne's
measures and policy excited among the Home
Rulers is equally plausible. They lost faith
in the Government while they had the most
thorough belief in the good intentions of the
Premier and the Radicals; and this was be-
cause they could not resist the conviction
that no Government, however well inclined,
could do much for Ireland that the influ-
fence. the enormously prcponderating iniiu-
fence, of Wing and Tory landlords in both
| Houses of Parliament rendered ii impossible
" for any Minister Just then to do for Ireland
the things that Ireland wanted to have
done" In word, the English people were
bent upon prescribing an English remedy,
whereas the Irish people insisted upon curing
their own ailments in their own way
This is certainly strong as well as an
adroit presentation of the Irish case.
III la Lon .e
on the Ministerial benches, the rejection of
the Compensation for Disturbance bill by the
Tory Lords and the INSCRIPTIONS attempts of
the Upper House, first to mutilate the Land
| bill, and subsequently to render 1t inOpera-
| tive, have gene far to justify the conviction
that Irish tenants had little to expect from the
| landholding classes, whose social and political
| power is still dominant in England. That this
| conviction made it imperative for the Irish
members to desert the Liberal leaders, in
whose good intentions they professcd to have
confidence, we may not be prepared to admit,
especially when the fact is kept in mind that
| Mr. Gladstone did not begin with force bills
and a suspension of the constitution, but with
a concliatory policy and the promise of a
| thorough measure of remedial justice. Mr.
Mccarthy carries to its extreme length, the
conviction that no Government could do much
for Ireland, and in this way defends MIR
Parnell's hostility to the Liberal Ministry in Its
earliest stage. When the Coercion Act was
introduced the Irish members naturally broke
away from the Government altogether Oul
own impressions Of the weight Of this argu
ment we reserve for another occasion, wheI
the whole case shall have been summed up by
Mr.. Mccarthy. Meanwhile we commend hii
letter to the deliberate attention OF our read
ers, aud the discriminating judgment of ssth'

think that the heat Of summer will have

Some cheerful statistics are collected by some
of the English journals regarding tho decrease

last i've years Alcohol paid into the Treasury IN

ing the average yearly expenditure on drink of each
English man. woman and child, in 1875, to have
been moro than 500, and in 1881 to have fallen to
less than S16 Considering the extremely low price
of gin. whiskey and the inferior grades of stimu-
lants in England and Ireland, that amount of indi-
vidual outlay, to an American view, would insure

ton In the use of stimulants is shown In the imme-
date increase in the amount of money deposited In
the savings banks. In 1850 the working classes de-
posted $3.50 900 900; in 1881 there were deposits

We print two communications this morning
in relation to Walt Whitman's works which
all those wEo are interested in "the good
gray poet" will find entertaining reading.
Mr.. OConnOr's reply to the Rev. Mr.
Chadwick could scarcely be warmer but then
il is to be remembered that it is a peculiarity
of Mr. Whitman's devotees TO grow warm
whenever 1t is insinuared that Leaves of
Grass" while containing much that is rare, con-
tains some that is rotten. Mr.. OConnor begins
his letter with the remark that he is going to
apply dynamite to his opponent The dyna-
mite is found to consist largely Of the plea that
because Mr. Emerson always remained friendly
disposed toward Whitman, and went TO the
length of having him to tea as late as 1881,
that therefore the great thinker Is TO
be understood as not modifying his original
and much paraded private letter about Leaves
of Grass. This, though brilliantly presented,
will not strike the average man as fOrcibe
| piece of reasoning-an eager antagonist might
even pronounce it more suggestive OF dough
| than dynamite Our other correspondent,
whose signature, Sigma, stands for one of the
| most experienced of critics, makes a strong
attack upon Whitman's literary theory.
| The fragrant vice of that theory was never
presented with more force or less excitement.
We commend to Nj OCOnnor's attention the
assertion that Mr.. Emerson commended Whit
mau's conversation as containing none OF
" the disgusting Priapism' Of his book.

Tie good work which the Buildings Bureau
has been doing of late is somewhat offset by
the catastrophe in Centre-st., Ill which one
man was killed. 1t seems that an inspector
examined the. place year ago and ordered
sorne new braces in the building. An old
structure in which 100000 pounds OF lead
are stored, however, needs careful watching,
which this does not seem to have had. The
only wonder is that the oyerburdened floors
did not give way long ago. Here is a chance
for one of the cOroners to distinguish himself
by discovering who is really responsible for
this workmans death. If he succeeds III fixing
it upon anybody we hope the Grand Jurors
will give his verdict more careful consideration
than they did the finding in the case of the
persons killed by the buildings that tumbled
down in Grand-st.
