There seems to be a very general impress

Congress viii make lsIge appropriations for

The Situation in Ireland.

In the House of Commons, recent
ly, Mr.. Gladstone stated that negoti-
atoms with the government of the
United States respecting the suspects
of American nationality, would con-
tinue. To the representations made
by Great Britain to the United States,
last June, respecting certain Fenian
literature, no answer has been receiv-
ed. The announcement was received
with irenical cheers from the conser-
natives. Mr.. Gladstone said the gov
eminent was sensible of the gravity of
the condition in Ireland, but it must
select its own time for proposing any
desirable measures. 1t was q social
and political revolution that was in
progress. The Land league started
when the conservatives were in
power. Though agrarian crimes
had increased, he believed the effect
of the land act was extending. The
state of Ireland was unprecedented
for fifty years. There is q strong pre-
sumption that the influence of the
Land League is behind the awful
crimes committed there. He cited
Healey's letter calling the government
set of brigands. Sir Stafford North
cote said Mr.. Gladstone's speech was
disappointing, alarming and unsatis-
factory, because it showed vacillation.

Mr. Garfield and the Doctors.

In an interview, published in the st.
Louis Globe, the other day, DR.. Boyn-
ton said:
DR.. Bliss retention in the case was
caused by a misunderstanding between
the President and Mrs. Garfield on,
the one side, and DR.. Baxter and my
self on the other; and / can say also
that the misunderstanding was brought
about purposely and solely by DR..
Bliss himself It was what he had
said to DR.. Baxter and myself that
induced US to believe that it was the
wish of the President and Mrs. Gar
field that he should continue in charge
of the case. He, on the other hand,
gave the President and Mrs. Garfield
reason to believe that it was the de-
sire of DR.. Baxter and myself that he
should be continued in charge, and the
contrary was not known for month.
afterward. The manner in which d.
Bliss managed this part of the case
was questionable in the extreme. -
Since that time, however, Dir. Baxter,
Mrs. Garfield and myself compared
notes, and now each of us understand
the matter thoroughly, and under the
circumstances, | conceived it to be no
more than my duty to make a plain
statement in writing, setting forth
all the foregoing points, then have
Mrs, Garfield endorse them as know
ing them to be true as far as she was
personally concerned.

An OLD Criminal.

Some thirty years ago, an English
man, for some official fraud, was ban
ished TO Australia, for life. He made
money there, and spent q good deal in
vain efforts to secure pardon which
would permit him TO return to Eng
land. At length, so intense became
his longing to revisit England, that he
started for home without leave. Over
twenty years had elapsed, and he felt
convinced that no one who would
''peach' would recognize him, and
finding that no one seemed to DO 50
he grew boider and resolved to ''haye
his fling" So he went down to the
Ascot races. in barouche and -four.
By some mischance his positions got
into the way Of the royal cortege.
The gray-haired Inspector of Police
rode up to set matters straight, and
his eyes met those Of the eX-convict
with that glance of recognition which
says: II have met you before, old
boy, and under very different circum-
stances, too" He was, in fact, the
very constable who, five and twenty
years before, had arrested him. The
ex-convict did not stay to see the races,
and was back at Sydney to report
himself, as he had to do once year,
in due time. The case has been re-
called by the excellent memory OF
Judge Benedict, who, equally to the
surprise of the Secret Service officers
and of the prisoner, recognized Dan.
Rosa, convicted for counterfeiting, as
one of gang convicted before him for
the same offence, seventeen years ago,
when $4,000 of counterfeit coin WAS
