THE Herald's London correspondent re-
ports that, in recent interview with the
executive committee of the ladies' land
league, Mr.. Parnell found himself fiercely
attacked for lowering the flag by consenting
to the introduction of Mr.. Redmond's bill
for the amendment of the land league. He
listened until the ladies had exhausted their
denunciations, and then he quietly asked if
any of them had read the bill. They were
obliged to confess that they had not.

IN getting Tolstoi as Minister of the lnte-
rior, the Russians have caught veritable
Tartar, who promises to prevent all the re
forms of the Commission appointed last
week to regulate the internal conditions OF
the Empire. For fourteen years he held the
position of Minister Of Public Education,
during which period the press was subjected
to tyrannical censorship, and frequent
penalties and suspensions. Under his adj
ministraton occurred the studen ts' riots
and the general spread of nihilism among
educated classes of young men who at pres
ent are the most formidable element in the
movement. Tolstoi's organ is the Moscow
Gazette, conducted by one Katkoff, who has
carried on single-handed and virulent war
upon the entire liberal press of Russia and
upon every progressive movement. While
the new appointment argues no good to do
mestic affairs, abroad and particularly at
Berlin there is great rejoicing over the re-
tirement of Ignatieff, who most cordially
hated and feared.

The situation in Egypt seems to grow
worse and worse. According to the latest
dispatches the spirit of instruction is fast
passing beyond the control even of the men
who are mainly responsible for bringing
about the present deplorable condition of
affairs, and at any moment an uprising may
occur which would result in general mas
sacre of the European residents. In this
emergency disposition is apparent to en-
trust Turkey with the task of restoring or
der, and this would undoubtedly be the
quickest and easiest way out of the difficulty,
If that plan should be adopted, Turkey will
once more be gamer from that mutual
jealousy of the European Powers by which
in the case of the military occupation of
Egypt England and France have hitherto
been precluded.

CURIOUS notions Carlyle entertained OF
ireland. In his Journal for 1849 he wrote:
'tAm thinking Of a tour in Ireland; unhap-
PLY have no call l desire that way, or any
way, but am driven out somewhither as by
the point of bayonets at my back. Ireland
really is my problem, the breakiHg-point OF
the huge suppuration which all British and
all European society now is. Set down in
Ireland, one might at least feel. Here is thy
problem. In Gods name, what wilt thou
do with it? " He changed his mind but lit
tie when he did go, and his "reminiscences
of My Irish Journey" just out, from the
press of Harper 6 Brothers, convey, unbap-
PLY, an impression of the social condition
OF the country which would be equally
truthful of it were it written to-day. The
'1rish Journey" is vigorous example OF
Carlyle's own literary vehicle, rough, forcl-
bic, and incisive, but often tempting one to
describe it by the aid of some of the adJec-
tiyes that he seemed to love to fit to special,
unexpected and violent uses.

THE attention of the London Lancet has
been attracted by the report of the physi-
clans of the board of health of one of the
United States concerning special class of
immigrants, of whom he says that he has
never known any disease to originate or
spread among them. "The reason" he
says, sis their simple, perfectly clearly, fru-
gal life. They eat to live, and do not live
to eat They constantly battle themselves
and keep their clothes scrupulously clean.
They drink no whisky. Hence the death
rate is greater among every other class than
in this. No epidemics prevail among them >
The board of health which gives this testi-
mony in their favor is that of California,
and the Clearly, sober, frugal and healthy
immigrants are the Chinese.

WE do not exactly understand what par
'ticular business French army has upon the
frontier of Tripoli, unless it be to find
cause for invading that country and subju-
eating it in much the same way as the
French have usurped the control of Tunis;
but, fortunately, the French army has been
obliged to abandon its position by the failure
of its water supply. Just at the present
time it might be supposed that the French
have sufficient trouble on their hands in Al

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser at
tributes the rise in the prices of meats to the
efforts of spectators, who have forced the
figures for extra steers from So to $6.75 per
cwt. in February to $3.50 to SO in the last of
May The Commercial shows no natural
cause exists for this advance, and it con-
graduates the people that decline has set
in, which is likely to be accelerated by the
rapidly increasing receipts of cattle from
the West. The fall, it says, is likely to con-
tinue until reasonable prices again prevail.

AFFAIRS in Egypt appear to be getting
no better fast. The Arab population OF that
country seems to be aroused to pitch OF
Moslem fanaticism quite dangerous to deal
with; and while it is easy for European
Powers TO talk of wars of vengeance, there
are probably few of them at all anxious to
engage in a struggle of that kind, which
could not by any possibility result in the
permanent conquest or occupation by any
Christian race or Powe r. Prince Bismarck
no doubt would chuckle immensely If the
present trouble were to involve France in
the chief responsib ility of an Egyptian war.

New YORK Tribune: Colonel Frederick
Robbie, Republican candidate for Governor
of Maine, besides rendering valuable ser
vices to the Nation during the war, has al
ways taken keen interest in the social, edu-
cational and industrial interests of his own
State. He was practically founder OF the
normal school at Gorham, and has contrib
uted literally to the support of many other
educational and benevolent institutions. In.
1878 he was commissioner to the Paris Ex-
position. He is now master of the State
Grange, an agricultural organization COM
prising more than 10000 members. Ever
since the war he has been prominent fig
ure in State politics, having been member
of seven Legislatures, and chairman of the
Council during two administrations.

Gov. Crittenden of Missouri receives the
following moral support from the stalwart
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: "We hope the
Democrats in their approaching State Con-
vention will not fail to endorse Gov. Crit
tenden for his conduct in the Jesse James
matter. We have stood by the governor
from the first as to the killing of Jesse, and
have only quarreled with him because ne
has not also killed Frank. If to the killing
of Jesse he will add the killing of Frank he
will be almost good enough for Republi-
can as well as a Democratic endorsement"

LiFe'S ROSES.

When the morning FIRST uncloses,
And before the nsts are gone.
All the hills seem bright with roses,
Just a little farther on!
Roses red as wings of starlings,
And with diamond dew drops wet;
"Wait," says Patience wait, my darlDgs
Wait little longer YETI
So, with eager, upturned faces.
Wait the children for the hours
That shall bring them tO the places
OF the tantalizing flowers.
Wild with wonder, sweet with guesses,
Vexed with only 1eeting fears,
50 the broader day adva0ces,
And the twilight disappears,
Hands BEGIN to clutch at pOsieS,
Eyes to II lsh with new delight,
And the roses, oh the roses,
Burning, olushing, fall in sight.
Now, with bOscms softly beating,
Heart to heart, and hand in hand,
YOutGs and maids together meeting,
Crown the ilOwery harvest land.
Not thought of rainy weather,
Nor of thorns to sting aud giieve.
Gather, gather. gather, gather,
All the care Is wont tJ leave,
Noon to afternoon advances,
Rosy red grows ruSSet brown;
Sad eyes backwa turn their glances,
So the son of youth goes down.
And as rose by rose is withered,
Sober sight begins to find
Many false heart has been gathered,
Many true one left behind.
Hands are claSped with fainter holding,
Untitled souls begin TO sigh
Fer the golden, glad unfolding
Ot the morn beyond the sky.

Her mothers frequent illness made
it necessary for Ida Greeley, when al
most a child, to care for her fathers
house. In this way she was known
far beyond the home circle, and among
the army of notable men of all classes
who had daily business with the great
editor was esteemed as girl of re-
markable character earnest, dignifed
'anVl tireeshtiui beyond her years. She
was married on May l, l845, to Cap
tain Nicholas Smith, a Kentuckian, and
leaves three children, the youngest an
infant four weeks old. Less than a
week ago a sore throat gave some un-
easiness to the family, but no serious
results were apprehended. She died
very peacefully, without pain.

which the good woman mistook for

chat with Miss Lily.

and fell fainting to the floor.
"When she came to she was full of
wild crying and told me what he had

fesS her innocent heart, and then told
her that he hated her for her mothers
