 Dermott Marlborough (Kavanagh,) also called Dermott na-Galls, that is, Dermott of the foreigners, from his having invited the Anglo Norman adventurers to Ireland. This arch traitor Dermott was King of Leinster !; the name of his secretary was Maurice O'Regan. Dermott, King of Leinster, was father -in-law to Strongbow, so called from the strength of his Strongbow's name was Richard Declare. His wife was named Eva, the beautiful, daughter of King Dermott Marlborough. Dermott died on May f, 1172 A. D., and strongbow died in 1177 A, D. Eva and her husband Strongbow were buried in Christ church cathedral in the city of Dublin,
 where monuments erected in memory of them can be to this day. Strongbow was Earl of Pembroke and Vice regent of Normandy in France. Maurice Fitzgerald the first of the Geraldine family in Ireland to this day, brought over with him from England to Ireland ten knights, thirty esquires and one hundred footmen. by whose aid King Dermott seized the city of Dublin in 117O A. D., whose castle was commenced in 1908 and finished in 1912.

About eleven years ago the present educa- tional system was established in Japan. In 1872 not less than B, ,0O0 government schools were started, conducted on European prin- ciples, the average of schools being one to every GAO inhabitants. In two years the number of schools was augmented until the pupils exceeded 100000. The number of pupils immediately after 1873 rapidly increased until in 1877 in the seven great school districts nearly 57,O00 male teachers, with 1,275 female teachers, educating ,552, 40 male and 543, 7G8 female pupils. There is, then, an elementary school for every 345 inhabitants and for every 4 square miles of the empire. Taking the total children in Japan of an age to go to school as 5,251 ,8O7, 71 per cent. derive the benefits of instruction. Leaving out of consideration the higher branches of knowledge, only de- rivable from special schools the effort seems to tend toward the education of the masses. Looking at the expenses, some five years ago, with appropriation of e1,072, ,974, the cost of education was 10s., say $2 50 per pupil. The liberality of the Japanese and their firm belief in the great advantages to be derived from this general education become manifest when it is learned that in five years about $8, 5OO, ,OOO of our money has been be- slowed by private individuals for the school fund, together with a great deal of valuable real estate.
 The bill to fix the pay of letter carriers which has been passed by the House author izes the Postmaster General, upon recom- mendation of the postmaster of any city, to establish third grade of letter carriers, to be known as auxiliaries, who are to be paid six hundred dollars per annum. It also pro- vides for the appointment of letter carriers in cities having minimum of pay, and that promotions from the lower grades in such cities shall be made to the next higher grade at the expiration of one years service on certificate of the postmaster to the efficiency and faithfulness of the candidate during the preceding year. The Postmaster General is also authorized to appoint one or more substitute letter carriers whose annual compensation shall be one dollar and pro rata compensation of car riers whose routes they may be required to serve. Under the present law auxiliary car rlers are paid at the rate Of S4OO per annum and the number of carriers of the first class whose annual compensation is $l,000 is linn ited to two-thirds of the whole number oi carriers actually in service in the cities in which they are employed. The bill just passed fixes the salary of auxiliaries upon ap pointment at $6Oo per annum, and after one years service the auxiliaries are promoted tc tbe next hioher qrade and paid $500 pel annum in cities of the first class, $S50 ir sities of the second class. After serving one year in this grade promotion may be made to the highest grade at an annual salary of S1 GOO

 Fears Fire.
 From the Pall Mall Gazette.
 We have received the following from correspondent who has had considerable ex perience in eastern wars:
 GA not unimportant element in the consid- eration of the Egyptian question is the value of the Arab fighting material. Of the courage of the wretches who beat out the brains of 80 many Europeans caught by sur prise and unarmed in the late Alexandria riots, one may judge by an incident which took place in the course of them. On the great square of Alexandria some two hun dred of these patriotic pro, esters against the rule of the foreigner were engaged in hunt ing Europeans, when four attendants of the tribunal rushed out of their sanctuary with drawn swords, and the whole two hundred took to precipitate flight, leaving the square empty of all but the dead and wounded and
