Henry George Oh Ireland.

Washington special: Henry George,
who suffered arrest and Imprisonment
in England, charged as a suspect, is in
the city and probably will lecture
here. In an interview Mr.. George
says Of the Irish people:
Il was never among people for
whom | had more profound respect,
or who, under such adverse circum-
stances, have maintained so high a
standard of morals and intelligence.
In some districts visited by me l found
whole families crowded up in a cabin
Of single room, and among whom
sexual immortality was absolutely un-
known, where ordinary crimes, such as
theft, were almast unheard of. | wit
messed many evictions, where a COM
pany Of red coated soldiery supported
an armed police in ejecting old men,
women and helpless children from the
only house they had in the world, and
was struck with the calm resignation
with which they rendered obedience to
an oppressive law, and accepted a fate
the poor house-which education
and tradition regards as worse than
death. IN many instances this was
done at the behest of land owners who
had never seen Ireland. To Ameri-
cans who have read of the densely
populated areas of the old world it is
q genuine surprise to find how few
people comparatively, there are in
Ireland who live upon the soil. In
western Ireland | was struck with two
things. The most imposing structures
that there meet the eye are the aims
house and the barracks of the police.
These are the most eloquent monu-
ments Of the condition of the people"

An Address by Artepus Ward.

Artemus Ward, after delivering &
lecture once in New London, Conn,
was asked by the principal of a young
ladies' high school in the place to pay
visit to her institution the next day.
He went like ''an amoosin cuss" and
made the girls speech. While walk
ing to the academy.a street runaway
occurred. A terrific horse went tear
ing over the pavement, with what
Artemus called ''the forequarters of Il
wagon" gathering at its heels. This
incident Artemus ingeniously utilized
in his address. Said he:
The yehicular elopement, which has
just taken place, young ladies, has
furnished us with timely topic of
discourse. Young ladies' seminaries
are ever exposed to runaways. Once,
when travelling with my show, | came
upon female institute. There were
ladders, and lads too, as to that, at
every window. Manly perpendiculars
carrying fainting horizontals to the
ground. 'Firer' [ shouted. "None
of that, replied a solemn voice from
the orchard "There amt no fire;
these are only young fellows running
off with their sweethearts." There is
moral entertainment for man and
beast in this runaway. No horse, if
attached to a wagon, that is, if sin
cerely attached, will run away with it;
but the more young man is attached
to young woman, the more he will
run away with her, leaving no trace,
in fact none Of the harness, behind.
Young ladies, since | have stood be-
fore your beautiful faces | have lost
something, and if you or the boy who
sweeps out, should find Il red object
looking like coral breastpin that has
been stepped on, you may know it is
my poor, busted heart

construction of steam vessels are hold
ing daily sessions, and while the details
of their proceedings are withheld from
the public at present, it is known that
the members are assiduously investi-
eating the subject, and that the Board
is making satisfactory progress. Their
report will be submitted to the Secre-
tary of the Navy, to enable him to
make special report to Congress
early in the forthcoming session. A
member of the board is authority for
the statement that the plans which
are now beng matured-if adopted
by the Secretary and applied-will
give to the Navy the finest war ships

Sensible Sentences.

Don't be whining about not having
fair chance. Throw sensible man
out Of a window, he'll fall on his feet
and ask the way to his work. The
more you have to begin with, the less
you Will have in the end. Money you
earn Yourself is much brighter than
YOU can get out of dead mems bags.
A scant breakfast in the morning of
life whets the appetite for feast later
in the day. He who has tasted a sour
apple will have the more relish for
sweet one. Your present want will
make future prosperity all the sweeter.
Eighteen-pence has set up many
peddler in business, and he has turned
it over until he has kept his carriage.
As for the place you are cast in, don't
find fault with that; you need not be a
horse because you were born in a sta
bic. If a bull tossed a man of metal
sky-high, he would drop down in a
good place A hard working young
man with his wits about him will
make money while others will do moth
ing but lose it. "Who loves his work
and knows how to spare, may live and
flourish anywhere" As to the trouble,
who expects to find cherries without
stones, or roses without thorns? Who
would WIN must learn to bear. Idle
ness lies in bed sick of the mulligrubs,
where industry finds health and
wealth. The dog in the kennel barks
at feas; the hunting dog does not
even know they are there. Laziness
waits till the river runs dry, and never
get to market. "Try" swims it; and
makes all the trade. "Can't do it"
would not eat the bread cut for him,
but "Try" made meat out of mush-
rooms.-John Plowman.

An immense find of silver is re-
ported from the Pigeon river country.
The Indians have always told wonder
ful stories of the vast amount of pure
silver there was to be found in that
country; explorers have been engaged
in hunting for the bonanza, but with
no success. At last, however, party
of Canadian miners and explorers
claim to have found the lost bonanza,
and they have gone quietly to work
and secured all the land in that vicin-
ity. We believe that it is the inten-
tion Of the lucky finders to work the
mines on small scale this winter and
in the spring put large force of min
ers to work. Lake Superior News.

General WeodfOrd ON Civil Service
Reform.

Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, of New
York, delivered campaign speech in
fremont Temple, Boston, October
10th ult., which, while it did not ex-
actly suit many of his hearers, was to
the point and full of prophecy He
confined himself principally to the
subject of civil service reform, and
closed his speech as follows:
Within six months of the entrance of our last
administration Republican president used the
highest offices in the nation to reward political
services; Republican senators quarreled with the
president because they wanted the offices that
he used for himself, and Republican citizen
shot the president because official patronage had
been thus used And do you tell me- men of
Massachusetts,, that we need no reform of the
civil service? Do you tell me that when it has
thus gone into the house. when it has thus enter
ed into the senate when 1t has thus fired the pis
tol and killed-do you tell me that there is not a
burden on the soul and on the conscience of this
Republican party? That it will rise up as it once
rose to strike down slavery and divorce once and
forever political from the civil service of the
government? Talk not to me of what the Repub-
lican party has done. Sing no pcans of plat
forms that were made and of platforms the Dem
ocrats have broken. Sing me no hallelujahs over
what we have done; but in the solemn memory
of the hours and the weeks and the months when
we waited to hear the tidings from the bedside of
our dying president, in those sad hours when
our faith in human heroism grew stronger be-
cause of his grand courage and patient waiting,
you and I. looking into our hearts deeper than
politicians had fathomed, deeper than statesmen
had dreamed, the common people of this land
recognized the sign of the land and we felt we
knew what had killed the president and we then
resolved, deeper than party and stronger than
platform, that, God helping us We would hive a
clean, pure white government that Should bless
the people and honor the republic Loud ap-
piausc.

From Justice N. "
The monopoly element in the Dem
ocratic party sneered at John Kelly
for coming out as an Anti-Monopolist
a year or more ago. What do they
think of it now? The Anti-monopoly
sentiment of the State of New York
cast not less 10000 votes for Cover
Cleveland, of which at least $4,000
were Republicans. Now let the Dem
ocratic party throw overheard the Til

If they are really in earnest, let
them give the people in 1884 Allen G.
