word nor line to his discredit. He reviewed
the career of Emmett, the growth Of the
National" sentiment in Ireland, and the
devotion of the people to that cause, and
their response to the Land League move
ments of the present. His eulogy OF Emmett,
and his review of his sacrifices and devotion
to the cause to which he gave himself, and his
description of his country, arose frequently
TO the higher planes of elcquence. He
thought that no impartial man could look
calmly at the situation and say that the con-
when Emmett died. He said it was true that
the English Government aud people hate the
Irish cause, and the Irish hate the English as
much as the latter hate Parnsll, and on this
topic he daelt at length, passing next to the
present issues in Parliament, which he ex-
planned as he understood them the opera
tions of the Land Act and the proposed
inquiry into them the position OF Mr.. Glad
stone; the new measures for regulating de-
bate, etc. He concluded with review of
the state of Ireland, the poverty of the
people, the purposes and prospects of the
Land League and of the Irish movement for
self. government and the necessity for edu-
eating the Irish people. At the conclusion CT
his address, which was often and very loudly
applauded, the floor was cleareu, and So
cial dance OF some hours concluded tie csle-
bration.
AN EPISODE IN THE SLIcKENs CAsE.-For
the first time in all the fifty three days of TIE
continuance Of the great debris case
so-called-the tIial was yesterday frightened
by the presence Of ladies. Judge Rhodes had
tue floor, and was giving his view of the
slickers question, when six ladies came into
the Courtroom in single file, and in rather
timid and doubtful way, as if they were not
exactly sure OF their welcome, although they
were piloted by one of the especially hand
some and graceful attaches of one of the de-
partments at the Capitol. This unexpected
and pleasing invasion caused the counsel to
straighten up and shake the kinks ont OF
their legs andsmooth down the extra pleats in
their SKIRT fronts, while Mr.. Wilson, after
bordering over the matter few moments, re-
marked. soto voce "Well, it took Judge
Rhodes, after all, to bring the Angels into this
case; he drew them in, certain" La about
an hour the ladies found their interest in the
argument beginning to fail, and concluded to
retire before the evidence became apparent
that they were not deeply informed as to ri
parian rights, eluity powers, the statute OF
limitations, estoppel in pals, and kindred ro-
mantle and blood-curdling topics upon which
the ex-Chief Justice was descanting with all
the literary grace of an Irving, and the poetic
fervor of a Byron. 'There," said visiting
counsel, "it has also taken Judge Rhodes to
send the angels out of this case" At that
instant he noticed that the ladies were retir-
ing under the special escort of Attorney
General Hart, whereupon he caught his
breath and exclaimed: " l take it all back.
The EFFECT OF a LEGAL HoLIDAY.-Judge
Temple, who is presiding in the slickeus trial,
in which the closing arguments are now being
made, is here at considerable Inconvenience,
and in common with the most of the counsel
in the case is anxious to get back to the Of
fetal duties of his own Court. 1t was there
fore serious matter to both the Court and
the lawyers in the case, when it was learned
that the Governor had declared to-day to be
a public holiday, as it insured the projection
of the trial far into next week, and left all
hands here resting on their oars from Friday
TO Monday. At the adjournment last even
ing there WAS nothing for it but to take the
enforced recess. Just before leaving the
bsnch, however, Judge Temple remarked
that as Saturday was legal holiday, and he
would be at leisure all day, he would drop
around to the Courtroom at half-past 9, and
il any Of the counsel desired to make any
suggestions about anything he would be likely
TO listen. The lawyers ali smiled, and w. G.
Belcher suggested that he might like to talk
over some matters of interest aud would be
pleased to have Judge Temple hear him. So
by this tacit agreement the argument will
practically go on to-day, and as all the par
ties in interest are OF a mind about it, the
day will not be lost the threatened delay will
be avoided, and no harm will be done to any
enc, while the citizens who feel inclined can

"MAHoMET "A LEcTuRE.-The Rev. W.
H. Plat, d. D., OF San Francisco, will

the Congregational Church in this city, for
the benefit of the Young Mems Christian

CHIrF OF PoLIcR.-In the contest to-day
for Chief of Police there is little doubt of the
success Of the present incumbent, Matt
Karcher Mr.. Karcher has q record Of more
than one term of service in this important
Office. and his administration of the solice
department will bear the closest comparison
with that of any other officer who has been
at the head of that department. 1t is always
easy to criticise an incumbent, or to claim
for an uutried candidate the possession of
superior qualifications. But the immunity
from burglars, garroters aud thieves the city
has enjoyed fer the past two years. and the
general good order which has prevailed for
that time. constitute the highest possible teE-
timonisl of Mr. Karcher's efficiency, and he
should be renouinated to-day.
A SAD SIGHr.-Con6ned in one of the
dark dungeons of the city prison is woman

grating of the prison door into the gloomy,
cherries cell, and was surprised to see these
infantiIe persons sitting upon the stone floor
aud with their little fingers digging from

approached the door and related that oit.told

justified in taking them from their parents
and appointing guardians for them.
