The Sparrow Pest.

II the sparrow whom the spring makes
more beliigerent and obnoxious than
ever would Just take himself away and
let our native songsters, who have been
exiled by his pugnacity, come into our
gardens and parks once more, we would
even be willing to pardon him for his
unnumbersd displays Of ill-breeding,
iIl-nature and general meanness. by
the way, has the reader ever noticed
what difference there is in the feeling
the children have for this smudgy, dirty,
greedy wrangler Of the streets and his
country cousin, the modest gray-vested
clean.footed little Achipping- bird that
used to hop inquiringly along our gar
den paths until driven away BY the low
bred stranger from over the sear No
child ever gathered other than good inn
pressions from little chippie but the
sparrow, brown-coat ugh! He is a.
devil.of the gutter, who has all thevices
Of the street Arab and none Of his possi-
bility Of amendment. The moral infiu-
ence Of nChippie' was one oflthetMngs
we. lost when we encouraged the feath-
cred scavenger that drove him away.

THERE will be a total eclipse of the
sun, rare event, on the 18th of this
month, and scientific men are looking
forward to the occurrence with great
interest. It will not be visible in this
country. The path will be over Asia
and Central Africa, in a direction
west-southwest to east northeast, and
the phenomenon of total obscuration
will be best visible at Teheran and on
the Nile about hundred miles north
Of Thebes, where at this season the
probabilities favor clear and cloudless
skies, and the period during which
the moon entirely covers the sun will
be about seventy-two seconds. An
English expedition fully equipped,
under the auspices of the Royal
Society, started for the Nile station
last month to take Photographic and
other observations. Some valuable
results are expected.

VICAR GENERAL QUINN ON DE LONG.
Vicar General Quinn recalled last
evening De Long as one Of his proteges

as 1856. HE and his mother, who

THE resolutions adopted at the
courthouse last night are creditable
alike to the heart and brain Of the
Irish nationality. They say to the
civilized world that the "lsttery of
assassination is abhorrent to every
patriot aud true friend Of Ireland
There is a clear ringing sound
in these resolutions which
will be heard aud considered
by Mr.. Gladstone, by the English peo
pie, Mr.. Parnell and by the Irish
people scattered all over the world.
There may be Irish Guiteaus as they
say but they have no friends or sym
pathizers among the liberty loving
friends Of Ireland or either
side of the Atlantic. The most that
can be done now would seem
to be to give expression to the
general horror felt at the commission
of such bold and atrocious crime.
Our Memphis fri,nds have gone step
further; they have offered reward of
one thousand dollars for the arrest
and conviction of the assassins, there
by arraying themselves on the side of
law, order and justice. One of the
brightest and most hopeful days in
in the histor of Ireland for years was
suddenly turned into mourning, sur
prise and uncertainty. 1t is we'll for
Irishmen to speak out and declare
that in seeking to ameliorate the
conditions oftheir unfortunate country
they appeal only to the moral forces,
legitimate methods and civilized ideas
Of the age, and are confident of ulti-
mate suceess. In no locality are they
more united, emphatic and intelligent
than in Memphis,

THE JEAKNETTE's DEAD.
"Reminiscences of De Long
His Early Days.
New York Herald, s.

Lieutenant Norris, executive officer
Of the st. Mary's, expressed himself as
deeply grieved over the news of De
Longs depth. DE Long" he said,
succeeded Lieutenant Commander
Wadleigh, as executive officer of the
st. Mary's in 1875. He and Captain
Fithian were here together. De Long
left our ship to take command of the
Jeanette. He was here between two
and three years. When he went to
the Jeanette he took Ninderman and
Noros with him. They were, as Cap
tain Erben said, strongly attached to
De Long. remember De Long
coming aboard and speaking to Min
derman about the expedition. MIN
derman's answer was to the effect that
he would go anywhere with him. Just
before he started on the expedition
De Long came on the st. Mary's to
see US and bid us goodby.
IL remember one thing that hap
pened while De Long was on this ship
that will show his pluck. The vessel
was at Lisbon, and De Long sustained
a compound fracture OF the ankle.
The doctor told him if he did not take
the best of care of himself he would
run the risk Of losing his foot. There
happened, however, to be no one to
take charge of the deck, and De Long,
although suffering intense pain from
his injury, insisted upon filling the po.
sition. l distinctly remember him
seated on the deck of the vessel, his
leg in sling, as attentive to duty as if
he we're a we'll man.
He was great student of Arctic
history and his wife was almost as en-
thusiastic about it as himself. | re-
member meeting him in WASHINGTON.
His thoughts were all about the Jean
nette expedition and what it would
accomplish. He spoke with earnest
hope of reaching the North Pole, and
he and | spent some time in DISCUSSING
what course he would best pursue in
event Of his getting within the polar
circle.
A UNIVERSAL FAV0RITE.
"0n board this ship he was a great
favOrite. In the navy be bore as good
a reputation as any of the younger
officers. We all had confidence in bis
courage and perseverance. When he
was appointed to command the jean
nette it was the universal sentiment
among all the younger members of the
navy that if any man could succeed
in the enterprise he was George w,
De Long. In all the conversations
held with him he spoke hopefully Of
the success Of the expedition. | think
that in the news that reaches us OF his
conduct under the terrible experiences
the Jeannette's crew encountered he
has shown that the faith we all had in

Heavy Exports in Gold-The Late
Advance in Stocks.
A Wen Managed Pool.

NEW YORK, May 10.--The Gala
takes out 81, $50, 900 in gold to-day.
The cause Of the recent advance in
the stock market seems to have come
out. 1t seems to have been Ger
man boom, and was an entire success.
lndicationsa are that a pool embracing
four or five strong houses was formed
to bull the market,Ion the theory that
the short interest would be easily
scared by sharp buying just after
Gould'S return. The shorts became
alarmed, precisely as anticipated, and
Gould was reported to be buying
through unusual channels, and New
York Central was called in to give it
. Vanderbilt effect. The pool made
a turn on the long side, to create a
market for some long stock, and the
situation now is about as it was when
the bear programme was interrupted.
There are rumors Of Ia dividend soon
to be declared in Manhattan.

Tenure-oEOnlce Problems.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial,
WASHINGTON, May 8.-The wild
eyed tn eorists who swarm around
Washington, whose particular busi-
ness seems to be to dig out somc
hitherto unthought of and impossible
construction of the Constitution of the
United States and the laws based
thereon, have raised another subject
for debate and consideration here in
political circles. 1t is alleged that
inasmuch as the Constitution allows
the Senate to select an outsider or a
person from civil life to be its presid-
ing officer, that Senator Davis having
been elected to that Office, his tenure
of his exalted position does not close
with his term ct Office as Senator,
which ends on the third of March
next. How quickly it will take to
retire Mr.. Davis, with the aid of Mr..
Davis successor added to the Repub-
lican majority already possessed, is not
question, but is matter of some
curiosity as to whether the present
acting Vice President would be really
able to retain his Office at the close Of
his term were he to appeal to the law
and Constitution for that purpose.
