The Irish Thirst for Gore.

An Englishman landed at Dublin a
few months ago filed with apprehen-
sion that the life of any loyal subject of
her Majesty was not worth farthing
there and thereabout. The Land Leag-
uers, he imagined, were all bloodthirsty
assassins, and all that sort of thing. But
it was his duty to travel in the land--s
duty he approached with fear and trem-
bling. Now, there happened to be on
his route a number of towns, the names
of which begin with the suggestive syl-
liable XII" There were Kilmartin and
so ON. In his ignorance of nomencla-
ture his affrighted senses were startled
anew ON hearing a fellow passenger in
the railway carriage remark to another
as follows
Pm just after bein' over to Kilpat-
rick"
"And l." replied the other, cam
after bein' over to Kilmary."
"What murderers they are |" thought
the Englishman. 'And to think that
they talk of their assassinations so pub
hcly /"
But the conversation went on.
"And fhare are you goin' now? F"
asked assassin No. l.
"Pm goin' home, and then to Kill
more" was No. Us reply.
The Englishman's blood curdled.
"Kilmore, is it?" added No. /.
You'd betther be comm along wud me
to Kilumaule !"
1t is related that the Englishman left
the train at the next station, probably
to go back TO the tight little island and
report an alarming increase In the num-
Der of outrages in Ireland.

Taxes in Holland.

Taxes in Holland, Mr.. Bird tells us,
are generally very high, and, it is clear,
are often very mischievous. Here they
might learn much from us. "There is
tax on every window, door, chimney,
servant, on every article OF
household furniture in use. One must
even pay for the privilege of earning
ones daily bread, no man being permit
ted to carry on profession, trade or oc-
cupation of any sort unless he obtains
what is called "patent" The poor
payer has not even the satisfaction
of having his taxes called for. lie must
take the money to the collectors office,
and often lose an hour or two while wait
ing till the great man can attend to him.
Should he be behind IN the payment, one
or two hungry militiamen are quartered
in his house at his expense until he has
cleared off his arrears. Two hundred
years ago boots and shoes, those artl-
cles so essential to human comfort, as
our author somewhat needlessly de-
scrihes them, were not only taxed, but
were conspicuously marked on the up

Medical men have their fees fixed by
law, and fixed at low rate. To make
up for this, no druggist can sell the SIM

suffering from headache or toothache,
though he may know of some remedy
which viii give him relief, he cannot
procure it until he has consulted med
zeal man. In some parts of Holland the
houses of the poorer Beers are but little
better than Irish cabins. "The family
live all together in one large room,
divided by wooden partitions, which
serves as parlor, kitchen and bedroom,
and is not unfrequently shared with a
COW or donkey" The bed Is huge box,
filed with heather or seaweed, and In
districts exposed to floods is often raised
to height of six or seven feet above the
floor. In respect of cleanliness these
poor people are far superior to the Irish.
Even if a laborergets not more than los.
a week, yet he, his wife and children
will be seen every Sunday respectfully
dressed and scrupulously clean" It is a
very common custom for the peasants to
leave their wooden shoes outside the
doors of their cottages, SO that they may
not carry the dirt inside. BY counting
the number of shoes it can be readily
seen how many people there are at any
one time In the house.-Ihe Saturday

Then the candidate for shaping is first

lean woman who walks ten blocks. If it
distresses ladies to think of swining their
arms, why notrehect upon the awkward
ness of their appearance with the hands
incased in muhs, or in the large, heav-
ly-lined fur circulars which pinion the
arms tightly to the sides and impede the
locomotion, rendering it not only diff
cult but almost impossible. But young
ladies who move in the "best society
dawdle and wabble along and thus prove
to the observer that they have neither
muscle or backbone.
Still for those who win not walk Is left
horseback riding, and as that Is fashion
able, women are in this way forced to
take exercise, who would not otherwise
get out OF dools, unless III a carriage. 4
dozen women ride now where one woman
rode few years ago, and women are
daily seen taking this healthy exercise
in the fashionable parks and bouleyards.
American women certainly ride, when
they can ride at all, much more grace
fully than the women of other nations,
their English cousins by no means ex-
cepted and it is pleasant as well as pic
turesque to see them well mounted.
They may not have the stamina of the
English, but they certainly bear them
selves more becomingly IN the saddle.

Recalling Old Times.

Fourteen years ago, when Chester A.
Arthur was a struggling local politician
IN New York of what is known there as
the Custom-house variety, he numbered
among his friends the mate of a vessel,
named Kennedy, whose influence Arthur
had often occasion to use when clrcum-
stances required the votes of the floating
population of the harbor front.
Just about that time Arthur made an
unsuccessful effort to obtain some minor
municipal appointment. The mate con-
doled with his political friend upon his
disappointment, and soon after sailed
for Washington with a cargo of hard
ware. While ascending the Potomac
block aud tackle fell upon the mates
head, indenting his skull in such a man
ner that the man became practically al
idiot, and was placed in the District OF
Columbia Insane Asylum. A short time
ago the famous surgeon DIR. Gross, OF
Philadelphia, visited the asylum, ex-
amined the case and straightway per
formed an operation invented by himself,
which resulted in the almost immediate
return of the patients reason, the inter
vening fourteen years being, of course,
complete blank.
A day or two after his recovery, the
mate walked out, ana began StrOlllhB
through the Capitol building. Almost
the first person he encountered was
President Arthur, who was Just leaving
the Executive chamber in the Senate
wing.
"Why, how are you, Kennedy ?" said
the first citizen, affably extending his
hand. "Glad to see you.
"Howdy, old man" said the sailor.
I" How's things? Got a job yet?"
" Well, / believe / have" said the
Executive, with smile. Z" pretty big
job, too. You must come up to the
White House and see me.
q To the White House," repeated the
amazed mariner.
q Yes, just ask for my private secre-
tary, and he'll show you right IN" and
the President walked on.
Poor old Chef clean gone. clean
gone," unused the mate. " Actually be-
heves himself to be President of the
United States. Smart man once. too.
That Just shows you, gentlemen. he
continued, turning TO the bystanders.

disappointment will bring a man to-.

Cash.

The word cash is derived from the
1tallan casa, the chest in which italian
merchants kept their money. as do at
the present time the Spaniards in their
cala, and the Portuguese in their caxa,
ana the French IN their caisse. The APP
phcation of the word "cash to money.
Is altogether English, it not having a
corresponding term in any other Euro
pean language. Cash having been so
Mconsiderately adopted instead of casa

the chest, and not the money, is DIR. to

Is taken out.
In China cash is the one-thousandth
part of tael, or about one-tenth of an
American cent. The earliest public
bank In modern Europe was that of Ven
Ice, founded in 1857. 1t originated in
the financial difficulties of the State.
which in order to extricate itself. had
recourse to forced loan from the citi-
zens, promising them interest at the rate
of four per cent. 1t is generally be-
heyed that the Chinese were the invent
ors of bank notes, which are said to have
originated about ll9 years b. C., IN the
reign of the Emperor Quit, who hap
pened to be in want of money at the
time, and hit upon this device "to raise
it. " About 800 A. D., the Chinese, In the
reign of Haintsoung, of the dynasty of
Thang, issued true bank notes. They
were called feytsien, or flying money.
There was frequent over-issue Of these
notes, and it was so easy to create this
paper currency that the value declined.
It took II, 900 min, or 10, 900 of our dol
lars TO buy cake of rice, and at last the
issue ceased. Two centuries later notes
were issued in China, under legal re-
strictions, by joint stock companies, who
promised to pay cash for them every
three years.

fncturers display variety. All are made
on the principle of substituting mag

jam that store, and fight like mad to get

Eminent women-Mrs. Job.

The world has been sympathizing with
Job for 1900 years, and pItying his sui
ferIngs and fluctuations, but hardly a
thought seems to have been taken of
Mrs. Job and her trials, which must
nave been of no ordinary nature. True,
she didn't have any boils, her husband,
with true masculine selfishness, appro-
priatIng them all to himself, but she had
TO wait on him and listen to his COM
piainings day and night 1t would have
tried the patience of q saint to have been
compelled to hvein the same house with
man burdened with such wealth of
affections as Job was, and it is hardly to
be wondered at that, goaded to despera-
ton, his wife one day advised him to throw
up the game and pass In his checks.
Almost any woman would have done
the same thing under the circumstances.
There seems to have been constant
stream of people coming to see Job to
condole with him. Not only did the
neighbors drop in continually to see how
he was getting along, each enc with a
different remedy for boils, but relatives
came from long distances, and of course
they had to be entertained and fed.
This made great deal of work for Mrs.
Job, who. on account of her husbands

woman she never could have gone

Jobs case was discussed a great deal
In the papers, and scientific men came
from all parts of the country to study it
Job stood this with that patience that
became proverbial, and was never out of
humor as long as the boils lasted. All
these people boarded at the Job mansion.
and any one who has observed scientific
men eat knows what appetites they have
and can understand how busy the woman
of the house must have been cooking for
them.

limiting in the Arcties.

In his narrative Of the experience of
the Jeanette crew, Lieutenant Danen-
hover says: During the summer some
Of us used to take the skin boats or the
dingy and paddle among the cracks.
On one occasion Captain De Long was
alone in the dingy and was interviewed
by bear, who suddenly approached out
of the mist and stood watching him in
the most dignified manner. The Captain
retreated IN good order. During the
summer it was very difficult to get bears,
because they could take to the water so
readily and thus cut off their pursuers.
During the misty times they we're very
bold, and on one occasion a she bear
with two cubs approached the ship to
within 400 yards of the starsoard
quarter. Fortunately the dogs were on
the port side and to windward, so they
did not scent the bear. The greatest
quietness prevailed, and squad of about
ten rifiemen was immediately organized
on the poop. L was watching the bears
through a cabin air port, and it was a
very fine sight to see the mother and her
two cubs approach the ship in wonder
ing and cautious manner. / could see
better under the mist than the people on
the poop. Heard the Captain say:
"Do any of you think it is over $50
yards?"
All seemed to agree. and he said:
''Aim at $50 yards, and wait for the
word fret"
Then succeeded volley. The bears
reeled and made several turns, and I
thought that we had bagged all of them,
but was astonished to see them get up
and walk off in the most lively manner.
OF course, all the dogs took the alarm
and pursued them to the first crack,
which the bears calmly swan across and
thus escaped. But large drops of blood
were seen, and the she-bear lay down
once or twice as if wounded. In making
her retreat she drove her cubs before
her, and became impatient when they
moved slowly The bears had been hit,
but the distance had been underestimate,
and most of the shots had fallen short.
This was not extraordinary, because it
was very misty.
