Pope KOt a Good Halter,

Pope was not what johnson called q
good hater, for his hatred was often
unmanly; but, like Dryden, he always
succeeds best in satire when strong
personal feeling prompts his verse. An
intense glow of emotion animates his
finest poetry. 1t is seen in the noble
praise he bestows upon his friends, and
more strongly still in his tremendous as
sault upon the men of letters and the
Grub street hacks whom he, chose to
treat as his enemies. in nine cases out Of
ten the provocation came in the first in
stance from the poet, but his indignation,
however unreasonable, was not feigned.
He really felt what he said, or he could
not have said it so well. When, on the
other hand, he utters virtuous platitudes
in prose, it is easy to see that they mean
nothing. The insincerity of his CORE
spondence contrasts strongly with the
eager and venomous sincerity with which
he attacks his foes inverse. -7Re Athcn-

At 4:29 Mr.. Gladstone arose, and with
great emotion and in tremulous voice
moved the adjournment OF the House. He
said the blaCkneSS of the crime and tn
horror it had excited throughout the en-
tire kingdom, were unparalleled. In the
murder of Burke, he said, they had been
robbed of one Of the ablCSt and most up
right members OF the civil service; but the
hand of the assassin had come nearer home,
and one OF the NOblest Of hearts had ceased
beating while full OF hope and love for Ire
land.
- far as the Government was concerned
all previous arrangements must be recaSt.
On Thursday next. he (GladstOne) would
ask the House for leave to introduce a
measure for the repression OF crime in
ireland. He believed he would be assisted
from all quarters OF the House.
On an early day he would introduce q
measure dealing with question arrears rent.
Sir Stafford NOrthcote seconded the mo-
ton OF Gladstone for adjournment. He

A HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT.
4 Writ County Man Wants $50. 900 from
Five Wheeling Firms

An important case came before the Cir
cult Court yesterday, but was continued
without coming to trial. lt is known as
William Armstrong vs. Michael Reilly and
others, and is in action for the recovery OF
$4,000 for malicious prosecution. 1t grew
out of a suit against Armstrong in 1879 for
obtaining goods under false preteuCes. The
facts alleged in the case are as follows:
VIM. Armstrong was senior member of the
firm of Armstrong Il Clrich, doing a stave
and lumber business in Writ county. and
keeping 4 store near Elizabeth in Writ
county. In 1879, Alex. Campbell OF
the firm of Laughlin Bros. X Co. went
To Armstrong. and sold him bill of goods
amounting to about $50 At that time,
UlriCh was away and Armstrong, il was
claimed, bought the goods very unwillingly.
Then ii was claimed he bought the goods
under false pretenceS, and a prosecution
was begun.
Itseems that Armstrong; debts amounted
to $4,000, and his stock OF slaves and lum-
Der amounted 10 $4,000. But, il being
February and the streams frozen over, he
could not move his stock TO realize on il.
He made Il certain arrangement for the ben
eft of his creditors, which, il was claimed,
eft him insOlvent. Under these circum-
stances, suit for obtaining the 500 worth
of goods under false pretences was begun.
The case came on before Judge Monroe
Jackson, and Armstrong was acquitted.
His counsel argued that he made no mis-
representation to secure the delivery of the
goods, and that Mr.. Campbell knew of his
financial condition from the fact that he
tCampbell) had overdue notes of ARM
Strong's with him when he sold the goods,
Mr.. Armstrong claims that this action
against him was by plot, in which several
Wheeling firms took part. Accordingly, he
has begun suit against Messrs. NJ. Reilly,
Delaplain & Son, Laughlin Bros. l. Co, VI.
Gutman Il Co, and others, claiming $50
eco.
A strong team of lawyers has been re-
tanned on either side. Messrs. E. G. Cra-
craft, W. Z. Hubbard, H. NJ Russell repre-
sent the plaintiff, and Messrs J. II. Ewing.

to try the case, but it was continued by

matter of public interest.
