IRnlAND's POVERTY.

Want of diversity in its industry
is the main reason Of Ireland's pow
erty. This, with the wresched ten
antrx system 10 vogue there, always
has aud always will make the co0di
ton of her people deplorable. The
effort of the British Government tc
remedy the latter is thus fer fail
ure. In spite of the enforcement OF
the coercion act and the passage Of
the land laws, oil reports from Ire
land indicate a most distressing con-
dition of things. Secret murders
and open demonstrations against the
government are of frequent occurs
renee, and, instead of the people be-
ing forced into submission by the
severity of the government, they
have been driven Into hostility by
it's oppressive measures. Rebellion
is out of the question, because the
government can maintain itself, but
the whole q uestion is now one solely
If humanity. Great Britain must
nov consider what must be done to
enable the people of Ireland to sup
port themselves. Popular sentiment
cannot forever see the present con-
dition of affairs continue, and public
opinion must sooner or later con.
denim the policy that is responsible
for the violence and disturbed condi-
ton of affairs 10 the island AS has
been recently said, the people are
suffering from the extortion and OPP
preston of the rack renting system.
The land is owned by men who, as
a rule, have no love for the country
and no sympathy with its people.
The people are mere tenants at will
II is the uniform policy of the pro
prietors to take every penny which
the tenant can possibly earn. If an
industrious and thrifty occupant of
a piece of land has managed to add
shed, or a COW, or couple of
sheep, or any other evidence of a
surplus, no matter how small, during
the year, the landlord or agent alb,
serbs that saving by an increase of
rent for the following year. The
system is nothing more nor less than
con6scation. Once a year a starry
ing and desperate people are made
to bid against each other for the
privilege of struggling for existence
during the year to come. There 10
no hope for any impI ovement in
condition, but always the terror Of
losing the means Of subsistence by
forfeiting a tenure to obtain which
somebody else is willing to make
even q more desperate struggle tor
existence. There lie no hope 10
such a state Of society. People
have little to live for on the one
hand, and on the other coercion loses
its terrors 1t is not very fright>
full thing to be shot down in such q
country.

INSANITY IN GEORGIA DR.. Pc

INSANITY IN GEORGIA DR.. Pow
ellis talk on insanity 10 Georgia pre-
sents some striking points. There
are in all 63G patients in the State
asylum, of which 223 are colored.
Among the latter, DR.. Powell says,
insanity is increasing with amazing
rapidly. The illustrations which
the learned superintendent uses are
familiar enough to those who much
10 contact with the negro. Before
the war idiocy was the only form Of
mental alienation 20 be found among
them. Now drinking, grief and loss
of property takes hundreds to the
asylum when none went before
There is striking lesson in these
facts for such as choose to read be
tween the lines OF insanity in
general iu Georgia, DR.. Powell ssyG
the rate 10 Que to the thousand or
fifteen hundred. This rate is lower
than that of the average, which il
one to eight hundred while in
some States, especially in New Eng
land, the rate was as high as one in
five hundred. Undoubtedly the
simple, natural lives led by the ma
jority of our people preserves their
mental as well as their physical
health.

HON. A. Fl. STEPHENS.

The Constitution reporter has 10
terviewed A. ii. Stephens on the
gubernatorial question. "Mr. 5.
the people of Georgia do not seem
disposed to allow you to retire."
II don't know, said he; | receive
a great many letters on the subject,
more | think than | ever received
on any question before. They come
from organized democrats, from new
movement men and from republi-
cans. They do not insist so much
on my returning to Congress as on
my making the race for governor.
They urge me for many reasons to
do so. They seem to believe that
certain troubles are threatened,
which might assist in averting, and
that some dissensions exist 10 the
democratic party which | might help
to heal. 10 fact have been assur-
ed by men on whose judgment l Gao
rely tina. there is a general wish
among the people of Georgia that !
should be candidate for governor"
Mr.. Stephens then goes on to say
that his purpose to retire to private
life is not irrevocable, that public
men should be at the command OF
their people to serve them at all
times, and if his present good health
continued there was no imperious
reason why he should not enter the
eubernatorial canvass.

HEROIC TREATMENT OF SNAKE
BITE.-Joe Ludlum, an idiot con-
fined in the county poor house, was
bitten by a rattlesnake last Saturday
on the forefuger Of the left hand,
the faugs penetrating both sides Of
the finger. About three minutes after
the bite was inflicted Mrs. Syming-
ton, wife of the superintendent, split
the finger on both sides with a razor
poured small quantity Of powder
into the wound and set fire to it.
She then applied ammonia, and also
gave ammonia and whiskey inwsrd>
ly until the man became drunk.
This was a very brave act for a la
DIV to do. and it saved the poor
mans life On Sunday the arm and
hand were swollen three times the
natural size, but ~ esterday the
swelling had all gone down and Lud-
lum is now all right again. The
snake was killed and four rattles
we're taken off.-Ssn Antonio (Tex~

eat down to quiet games of poker,
rubbers of whist, etc, gambling
away their household just to while
away their hours. We demand so
much excellence of woman that the
worst of them are still better than
the average man, We have known
some women who were social OUT
caste, who, in point of heart, con
duct and general moral rectitude,
might have furnished stuff for the
max ing of very upright gentlemen.
They have fallen, it is true, but with
a fearful penalty they have paid for
that fall, while by comparison the
kindred penalties of men are so
light. If young man gets mixed
up 10 some disgraceful entangle-
ment, breaks heart and throws
young girl upon the street after havN
ing ruined her live, people say cons
pasionately of him: ale was so
young, and now he will turn over
new leaf :" but If an inexperienced
girl, a mere child of sixteen or sev~
enteen, comes TO harm through a. mo-
ment's weakness, born of too much
love aud over confidence in her be-
trayer, who ever thinks Of pleading
her youth as an excuse ! Who
ever urges seriously that girl has

A WAGER ON KISSES.

AT an evening party in Kelk-
helm, in Germany, few weeks ago,
the question arose how many kisses
could be exchanged between two
lovers within certain space of
time. A youth offered to bet any
body present fifty dollars that he
and bis betrothed would kiss one
another 10000 times within ten
hours, provided they were permitted
to partake of some slight refresh-
ment at intervals OF half an hour durN
ing the performance. His wager
having been accepted, the afiianced
couple addressed themselves to the
achievement of their task. AT the
expiration of the first hour their
account stood credited with 1900
kisses. During the second they
added another thousand, and during
the third $50 to that number. Then
they both broke down. The youths
lips we're stricken with cramp, and
the maiden tainted away. Later on
in the evening she was compelled to
take her bed with sharp attack OF
neuralgia. An even more distress
ing result ensued, for it led to the
breaking off, by mutual consent, of
the matrimonial engagement.

A sBvENFoLD BUTcaERY AT
LAST UNVEILED.

A crime even more atrocious than
that OF Troppman has just been
brpgght to light 10 Hungary, after
| the lapse o. half generation. In
the autumn Of 1866 rich Iaudown,
er, Lodislss Gzertyauffy, set out
/ with bic wife and six children from
Ger for the nearest railway station
taking in the carriage large sum
of money which he intended depos>
ting in the town, the country being
10 alarm because of bandits. While
they were passing through a forest
the coachman shot down his employ
err and Nine. Gzertyauffy and cut
threats of the children, or at least
FIVE of them, the remaining child,
boy Of five, leaping out of the vehi'
Gle and escaping into the thicket,
where he eluded the search of the
assassin. The coachmap having ia
ken and concealed the money and
valuables of his master fastened to
the nearest village to tell how the
carriage had been attacked by rob-
bers, and the bodies being found in
the highway the crime was laid to
the account of the bandits. The
murderer took service with the broth>
er of bis victim, burying the stolen
property, and as years passed by
he became convinced that the child
hat had escaped his knife had only
escaped il to be devoured by wolves
or to perish of hunger But the
boy had been found by rich peas
ant of BokA named Joseph Hodas,
to whom, as well as he could, he
described the tragedy that bad tax
en- place. The peasant, being
cbildless, took great fancy to the
child, and, hesitating to toll the
story to the authorities lost the boy
should be taken from him, at last
wrote it out for preservation, but
kept it a secret from every body.
The child was sent to school and
then to the University of Pesth,
where he studied law. Recently
telegram summoned him back to
Boka, where Hodas, who was at the
point of death, revealing everything
to him and gave him the written
story. The adopted sons memory
thus refreshed, recalled the horrible
deed, and, proceeded to the resiN
dence of bis uncle, he eontided the
matter to him. The murderer was
arrested and instantly confessed his
crime.

A BRAKEMANs DREAM.

A brakeman on one Of the regu-
lar freight trains on the New York,
Lake Erie and Western Railroad,
met with most singular escape from
death the other night. There bad
been an unusual rush of freight
over the road and he had been at
work constantly for two days and
three nights. Between Deposit and
Hancock two trains colided and
caused a wreck which was likely to
detain the trains and blockade the
track for some time. The brake-
man in question was sent back to
flag the first approaching train
He went back about a fourth of
mile, the regular distance required
by the rules ST the company. and
feeling very tired from Overwork
he sat down on tho track, on the
outside rail, to wait. Before five
minutes be was sound asleep
While thus asleep be dreamed that
be was lying on the track and that
the Atlantic express, one of the
swiftest trains on the road, ran over
him and cut off both arms, mang-
ling him so terribly that he could
DOT possibly survive. The dream
was so horrible that the man awoke,
with q start, to fnd himself lying
fiat on the track and the Atlantic
Express coming around curve, at
the rate of forty miles an hour. To
seize the red lantern and leap from
the track was but an instsuPs work /;
the engineer of the express saw the
light and stopped the train just in
time to prevent collision with the
blockaded freight trains -Pbita.

Georgia will not get az much 10

fore at one time. Savannah will
have 100000; Brunswick falls far

only $4,000. Mr.. Clements, by
the most untiring perseverance,, has
succeeded in bagging $4,000 for
the Coosa, $23, 900 more than it res
ceived last year. IN spite of Judge
Buchanan's devoted labors, no APP
preparation is made for the upper
Chattahoochee, and $4,000 only
for the lower Chattahoochee. The
Flint and Ocmulgee rivers will get
about the usual amounts. But for
the concerted efforts of the delega'
ton and Mayor Wheaton and Major
Warren, Savannah would have been
left with only 500 600. Efforts to
increase the appropriations by

made, but with poor chances of sue
