OH hear the wild waves on the seashore,

Time. goes, but it comes mot again
And nature. with numberless voices,

AS it sweeps by the mountain and moor.

Save where, by the distant Pacific,
Peru has Lord not her own. a.
There Chilian vengeance is brooding
On a wasted aud desolate shore.
Favored France too, has planted her lilies
BY the sea, in the haunt of the Moor.
Like the birds that sweep DER the forests,
When the leafstirring breeze is asleep,
The white wings of commerce are moving
Across the wide face of the deep
Thus bearing Pomona to Ceres,
With gifts from her bouatiful hands,
Bringing blessings of Peace to all peoples,
And plenty to far lying lands.
Progressive this age, aud Titanic
In, action, in thought, in resource
Fen ocean, and mainland, and mountain
Stay not, or bound not its force,
But across the wide sea of the era
Now sointillate jewels of art
Through all the vast channels of action
Its bright rays unerriugly dart.
Fair science has built her mansion
In a mystical electric realm,
And illumined with rays that are sun-like.
The real comes forth from the dream.
There music is waited through distance,
And thought responds unto thought,
Directed through currents phonetic
By methods, a genius wrought.
Knowledge now dwolls with the peasant,
In the hut, as we'll with the prince;
The spirit of learning has broken
Its sacred seclusiop, long since,
And knowledge dwells only With frcemen-
Mind cultured must ever be free
Thus powers tyrannic are quailing,
And yield to each changing decree.
Look out Ger thy domain, Oh Russia,
Where wrong and where misery dwell;
Thy palace is changed to prison,
Thy monarch slave in his cell.
The armies of Freedom are moving,
It's banners appear on thy 6slds,
And the brave hearts that move in each

Will rest not iii Tyranny yields.
Look out o'er thine islands, Oh /! Britain,
Thy sons are truth-loving race.
See is there no spot where injustice
And outrage are leaving their traos7
Fair Erin is shadowed with sorrow,
And des1late lies her green Isle;
Want dwelis In each home in her borders,
And crimes her white hamlets defile

LAND LEAGUE MONEY

Mr.. Healy M. ?, is now in the East,
and win speak in New York and Philadel-
phia this week, and then sail for England,
to take his seat in the House of Commons.
Mr.. Healy says the profits of his tour
amount to 10000 Mr. O'Connor, NJ
P, having visited larger tewns, viii con
tribute about $4,000 to the fund, while
Father Sheehy will furnish $4,000 more
The entire sum raised by these three
men will thus amount to eighty thousand
dollars. The showing is a creditable one
to the men who have raised the money,
but more so to the sh-Americans who
have so cheerfully and freely given it; it
evidences a love of country, a desire to
see the land free that gave them birth,
that viii in the end accomplish the object
desired, and lift Ireland into the prosper
ity that nature intended she should pos
sess.

RURAL AND MUNICIPAL POPULATION

A census bulletin gives the total pepula-
! ton of the 100 largest cities in the United
States having over 10000 inhabitants at
9098, 900, which is nearly one fifth the
whole population of the country. The
total increase of population in the country
in the last decade was IL, 100000, and 2,
396, 900 of this was in the 100 cities The
! figures are pointed at as an indication of
an excessive crowding of people into cit
les from the rural districts But it is
doubtful if there is any more such crowd
ing going on in this country than else
where. No doubt there are thousands
of persons in every large American city
who contribute nothing to the aggregate
of useful human effort, who do nothing in
the way of earning an honest living, and
are mere drones in the social hive. OF
the 5000 coo persons constituting the pop
ulation of these 100 cities, 900, 600 perhaps
could be spared, and the cities be better
off without them. But it is not clear that
the rural districts would be better off with
them, as the majority of them would be as
averse to earning a fair living there as
they are in the cities. Both the rural re-
gions and the cities are able to absorb a
large number of steady, reliable and willing
workers, and to pay good wages to them
and this will be the case for many years to
come. But the tasks of life are constantly
growing more exact and complex; even
farming has ceased to be the rude, clumsy
business it once was, and becomea voca-
ton in which skill and accuracy are requir-
ed. 1t is these increasing exactions that
are swelling the ranks of idleness with I'M
ambitious and indolert persons who choose
rather to be drones than qualify themselves
for skilled tasks. There are seasons when
the farming districts need large extra sup
ply of labor; but the Introduction of ma
chinery into agriculture supplies force
which is not to be overlooked. Our aggrc-
gate of farm products is constantly and
largely increasing, fact which shows that
the labor supply on farms is not materially
impaired by the crowding of population into
cities; and the fact that our farmers are
able not only to furnish an abundant supply
of cheap food at home, but to send an enor-
nous surplus abroad and undersell British,
French and German farmers in their own
markets, shows with what effect machinery
is now used in the cultivation of the soil and
the production of food.-MSss0ur5 RepuJli

From the Courier-T0urnal.

Mr.. I'ilden is in reasonable health. This
is to say that he is sneither an athlete nor a
cripple He Is immersed in his own private
concerns. He lives in Greystone while his
house in Gramercy Park is being enlarged
and reconstructed. When it is finished
it will be one of the two or three
mansions in the city of New York which
can be called splendid. lie supervises the
work upon it almost daily. He may be
seen three or four times a week down town,
either at his own offices or at board meet
ings, where he is director. He is a very
rich man and an necessarily busy one. He
has no more idea of being the next Presi-
dent of the United States than the Chicago
Times correspondent, has of going to hea-
ven. He could not be induced to accept
any nomination of public place whatever.
He loves his country, is loyal to his party,
and takes live interest in current affairs.
His counsel and his purse are open to his
party. His person he has reserved to his
declining years, which he proposes to enjoy
with his friends, his books and his pic
lures, of which he is fond. He enjoys socie-
ty as keenly as he ever did, and Is as pungent
and epigrammatic as of yore in his converse
ton and repartee. No one has ever heard a
murner of complaint escape his lips.
Those who know him best know that he is
the exact opposite of a disappointed man,
and that he regarded his liberation from
party obligations and services as an act OF
emancipation. We speak advisedly, there
fore, when we say thai under no circum-
stances could he be induced again to enter
personally into the struggle of political life.
A more tranquil, a more happy, and more
agreeable philosopher IS not to be found,
and being such, people need give them
selves no concern about the future, either
as it relates to himself or the plans,
schemes, and aspirations of other men.

WHO IS TO BLAME?

The New York papers are making it ex-
trenely interesting for Mr.. Potter, the
owner of the man trap so lately burned
with terrible loss of life. and the question
of legal as well as moral responsibility is
being actively agitated. Assistant United
States District Attorney Conkling has said
that the wife of Mr.. Harris, who is
thought to have persisted in the fire, being
a resident of New Jersey, could bring suit
in the United States courts for damages
against Mr.. Potter There were no fire
escapes on the Worlds old building and
damages. The law is very strict.
1t provides that every building in which
operatives work above the second floor
shall have fire escapes and the same shall
case of Willy VS.. Muledy, brought in
Brooklyn in 1878. The plaintiff occupied
a tenement belonging to the defendant.
There were no fire-escapes and no means
of egress to the roof The house was
burned and the plaintiff lost his wife and
child. Damages were recovered, and the
decision was affirmed on appeal.
The World is pressing all these matters
home upon Dir. Potter and the Sun is also
joining in the agitation. Take it all in
all. it is apt to become exceedingly lively
for Mr.. Potter, and he may make up his
mind that even as business speculation,
man traps do not pay.

NECESSITIES.

The thing about protection that makes
it a downri ght, robbery is that it levies
tax on the things that we must have, ar
ticles that it is impossible TO do without
We are taxed on the clothes that keep Us
warm, the houses that protect us from the
storms In all of our cities the necessity
of small tenement house is receiving good
deal of attention. 1t is recognized want
in our cities that homes should be pro-
vided for our workingmen and mechanics,
that should be both comfortable and at
tractive and at the same time comes with
in their means. The effect of protection
in rendering these cheap tenement houses
an impossibility is perhaps best shown by
few figures as to the added cost of con-
struction. Let Us see: For an average
dwelling house there win be required for
glass, $40, locks, bolts, hinges, sash locks,
sash weights and nails, $A5; white lead
and paints, $50; tin, S15; galvanized iron,
S10-total, $3.50 Yet upon this necessary
outlay stands. charged the sum of 500, 95
for tariff spoiIation.
In other words We're it not for protect

would be reduced from $3.50 to $73.15
