DUBLIN, Sept. "a mass meeting was
held Sunday at CappaIOne. The police were
present in force, and the press reporters
were in attendance. Michael Davitt deli7-
cred an address in which he made state
ment that by the tyrannical operations of
landlOrdism in Ireland 5000 hOusehOIders
had been deprived of their homes within
the quarter ending on the first of July. Mr.
Davitt contended that the question of the
complete abolition of landlOrdism must be
kept before the people. The land act, he
stated, if not failure at the present time,
is rapidly becoming so, and not one-siXth
OF the tenant farmers of the country have
yet succeeded in having their rents fixed.
He urged the people to be resolute and
calm, and not to lose their self-cOntrOl.
The Boards of Guardians throughout
Ireland have passed resolutions demand
ing the amendment of the land act.

GEN. BUTLER's DEAF AD1IRER.
The Governors LaughabIe Experience
at Lowell Political Meeting.


The following story of General Butler
was told at the meeting of the deaf mutes
on the 3Oth:
In the city of Lowell there used to live
an old highly respected deaf mute known
by the name of Dumb Nike one day he
took il into his head to attend a meeting
which General Butler was to address, as
he was anxious to catch Z sight of the
famous Old Ben,' whom it had never
been his good fortune to gaze upon.
Entering the hall early in the evening
he secured a seat in the front row, and
patiently hided his time until the meeting
was fun. and Butler arose to address the
audience, which greeted him with yOcif-
erOus applause. Old Ben cleared his
throat. began his speech, and looked
around for sympathiZng faces, as is the
custom with most speakers. HIS eve
caught the steadfast gaze and interested
cOuntenance of Dumb Mike. To him,
therefore. the speaker turned his atten-
tiOn the whole evening, gesticulating and
nOdding his mead. Mike, vastly interested
in the performance, bowed his head every
time in accompaniment to the Generals
repeated mods.
~ part of the audience witnessed this
dumb play. and soon the whisper went
around, The General is talking to Dumb
Mike accompanied by smiles and winks.
luG GtAcIdls CldltN uA luc ldNOIdute lLt-
preston he was apparently producing
upon the object of his attentions, talked
faster and gesticulated more furiOusly.
As soon as he ended his speech he went
eagerly 10 shake hands with Dumb Mike,
who met him more than half way. b tn
were shaking hands and beaming with
smiles as if they were old friends, and the
General said, in an atfable tone, How do

hand to his ear, at the same time shaking
his head.
General Butler, after gazing at him in
astOnishment, turned to a bystander and
asked. What the deuce does he meanE
oh. that is Dumb Mike. He is as deaf as
a post and the rest of the sentence
was lost by the sudden exit of the General
i'm u towering passion. 1t has been noticed
ever since that the General hated the
class, and it was no doubt this feeling
that prompted him in the halls of Con-
gress TO call deaf mutes half men"

have been added to the list since that
date, although many urgent applications
have been received for the establishment
of the system. The department has been

The State Temperance Execu-
tive Committee desires to urge the
Importance of a thorough organi-
cation throughout the State. Not
the organization of a bird political
party, but an organization that will
promote the Interests of temper
ance and prohibition, and can east
ly hold the balance o. power at the
ballot box, and thus 6 cure, beyond
question, the election Of only such
men to office as are il favor of sub
hitting the question If Prohibition
to vote of the people.
We hear OF local organizations
being effected in many places, and
hope yet to hear of thorough work
of this character all over the State.
There ought to be temperance
organization in every school dis
trict of the State. 1t matters not
so much about the plan or working
machinery of these Societies; only
let the friends of Prohibition stand
together, united and strong for the
Right.
Have stated meetings for discus
sions and consultations.
Let active local Committees be
appointed, and as matter of chief
est Importance, let these local com
mittees put themselves in commu-
nication with the State Committee
either directly or through a live

ing each week of the progress OF

Infamous Dukes.

There is surely no man now liv-
ing in this country, who would, or
at least should so desire to be dead,
as Dukes, the slayer of Captain
Mutt, at Uniontown, Pa.
Some months ago, Dukes Sc
duced the respectable daughter of
Captain Mutt, and not content with
his infamy, wrote exasperating
letters to her father, glorying in
his foul wrong and reviling the
daughter he had ruined, and then
to this crime of numbering the
family name and character, added
the more violent but not more infa-
NOUS crime of numbering the ia
ther, Captain Mutt.
But it yet remained to add the
desperate climax to his chapter of
infamies. This he did by so ma
nlpulatlng the jury trying him as
to secure his acquittal.
This was an infamy and outrage
against the peace and dignity and
honor of the entire State and coun-
try and is being so regarded by the
bar, the people, and the press,
everywhere.
The escaped criminal and the
jurymen who acquitted him are
being Missed and hooted, and
burned in efigy in many com
munities.
The Legislature of Pennsyl.
vania, of which Dukes is a mem.
Der elect, will refuse him seat
Harrisburg hotels will refuse him
entertainment, and all mankind
will henceforth refuse him fellow
ship.
Surely the very best thing Dukes
can do is to repent of his awful
sins and hide himself from the face
of the earth as soon as possible.
