Miscellaneous 'NeaVs Notes.

Two fine observations were obtained at
Harvard observatory of the comet, which
almost establish it as one of a brief period.
According to the present data it must have
made semi-circle of the sun in two or three
hours, or at the rate of 400. miles second.
The fact that the suns atmosphere offers no
check to It's progress proves it incombustible
and unlike meteorites.

Louis J. Jennings, for some years edit
or of the New York Times, and after
wards London correspondent of the New
York World, in a late letter, speaks OF the
general deadness Of things in Europe,
and especially on the continent. ''EIow
different" he says, ''is the impression
produced upon the mind by a journey
through the United States, and a Jour-
ney here! There it is all life and ami
natlon wherever one may go; here it is
all stagnation and decay. Account for
this difference how one may, it exists,
and it always strikes me wherever they
travel, although it is now over six years
since | saw the United States. But the
universal activity, dash, and enterprise
which prevails there are fresh in nv
recollection, and it is impossible to avoid
comparing them with the sleepy, do
nothing, benumbed sort of feeling which
seems to characterize 50 many ofthe old
er countries of Europe, except in the
very centres of commerce. Fathers Of
families who have had the requisite fa-
elites for making this comparison, can
not be much i'll doubt as to the wisdom
Of giving some, at least Of their young
sters, a fair start in the great vigorous
stream of life which is flowing in the
United States"

their souls III patience for all prospect of be-
ing disturbed in the possessions. Secretary
Teller is still holding his decision regarding
the Turtle mountain country. The matter

A Fated Family.

A sad accident occurred at late hour
Saturday night, resulting in the death of
Thomas G. Hedges, prominent young bus
mess men of Des Moines, Iowa. Hedges,
in company with his room mate, had retired,
first placing his revolver under his pillow,
which was his usual custom. Afterwards
rising on his elbow he examined the instru-
ment to see if it was in working order, when
it was accidentally discharged, the ball en-

in a recent negotiation with the Flat
Head Indians in talking them down from
Il demand Of 81 $50 900 to a treaty for
$4,000. The tribe and its warriors were
present in force. Stimulated by rage
over rumors proceeding the commission
that another grab game was to be Drac-
ticed upon them, and fortified by copious
'lraughs Of whisky, they surrounded the
astonisied 'talker," and for time left
him in doubt as to whether he was to

In a report under the caption, "Amer-
lean Trade Competition" Consul Mason
at Baslc, Switzerland, says that only
those who have been reading the lead
ing foreign newspapers, pamphlets and
official reports throughout Europe dur
ing the past two years can realize how
much attention the growth of American
trade has attracted, and the nature of
the protective measures which have
either been proposed or adopted to check
the growing competition. Mr.. Mason
says that the orders of the British Gov
ernment prohibiting the expectation of
American cattle, the French and Aus
tran decrees against American pork and
The German tariff decisions classifying
cotton-covered hams as cotton goods
and canned meats as hardware, were
simply pre:exts, os these restrictions
were placed upon American products
chiefly to break the force of American
competition and to stop the flow of gold
to this country. If Mr.. Mason is not
mistaken, this question of competition
with the United States extends beyond
food products and raw materials.

How He Was Converted on the Irish (lues
ti0n.

How He Was Converted on the Irish Ques-
-.. D. r. Lecke (Nasby) tells, in the Toledo
Btdde, how he was converted by Redpath
on the Irish question. Redpath only said,
"Come with me-" He declined to argue:
he merely showed Mr.. Locke series Of
pictures, of rags and starvation. OF destitu-
ton indescribable, of misery beyond the
power Of tongue or pen to depict. He
counted, ''in five miles driye," five hun
dred women without shoes or stockings
walking in the cold mud. In Fermoy, "a
tolerable prosperous village" for Ireland,
the women not only had neither shoes nor
stockings, but they had scarcely ANYTHING
to wear. Locke saw evicted tenants
hungry. barefooted, bare-legged, and bare
headed women, and pretty women at that
trudging along the cold, wet road in q
drenching rainstorm And next he saw a
flying squadron of $50 soldiers-fine look
ing fellows, we'll fed, we'll mounted and
we'll armed with loaded carbines-- riding
away from the scene Of IN eviction Red
path invited "Nasby" into o typical cabin,
where in its single room,> 10 feet
by IL, with hole in the wall
for window, the wet earth for a
floor, smoky fire place in one corner, be
introduced him to it's seven occupants.
About the fire three or four children,
dressed in scanty cotton slips, were hud-
died. In another corner there was brood
of chickens, andtta pig repeatedly poked
his snout in at the loose hanging door.
The little holding attached to the cabin had
been improved by three generations Of
f,tlniIy tenants from three shillings to forty
shillings per acre year. In America Mr..
Locke thought the land for which the tenant
pays $40 per acre rent might sell for 81 per
acre! In another cabin Mr.. Locke saw a
bed consisting of four posts driven into
tho ground, some stringers covered With
roughrboards, and on the boards dry leaves
and heather covered by some old potato
Sacks This is the manner of living of
the Irish people, against whom Mr.. Glad
stone is employing the resources of civlliz-
ation." When Mr.. Locke entered tho
Emerald Isle he was prejudiced against
the Irish. He says he tried to convince
Mr.. Pnrne1l that he was demagogue; that
the Irishh had no reason for agitation: that
ireiund could only be properly ruled by
the English; and that they ought to be
thankful to the kind providence that
had given them superior race to protect
and care for them.". After q day with
Redpath, Locke was wet, weary and mad.
The days sights, ,|he says, were too hor-
rible for talk" Mr.. Locke will not dis
pute any moro with Mr. Parnell.
