A Spirited Little Speech

Mr.. Brennan, ex-Secrctary Of the
Land League, said at the Academy Of
Music reception: 81 thank you SIN
cerely for your cordial greeting. As
| look upon the many Irish faces be-
fore me and those green flags, which !
have seen at home, | feel that | am in
another but greater Ireland. Where
ever an lrishman may be, though in
exile. his dreams arc ever Of his native
land, Of its green hills and bright
valleys. You Of the Irish race have
the right to know the truth and the
whole truth o. the state Of things in
Ireland There are many things that
are unsatisfactory. a spirit has now
been awakened that nothing can sub.
due-that cannot be tanned behind
prison bars-a spirit that even human
sacrifice cannot break. The war against
landlordism must 90 on as long as the
few oppress the many, as long az an
idle. useless class, who toll not, neither
do they spin, drive the unrecompcnsed
toiler into penury and the grave. Con-
cessions have been won, even from the
House Of Commons, on the land ques.
ton; but a social revolution in Ire
land, "a all other social revolutions,
must 60 on, increasing in intensity
until the system against which it is
arrayed is destroyed
"The one great aim and object we
have in view continued the speaker,
"is TO make our country once more a
nation and the destruction Of Irish
landlordism, sustained by an English
garrison, is necessary before our hopes
can be accomplished and Ireland takes
her place among nations. The Irish
people have now formed a new and
stronge confederation, upon broad
Democratic principles, and when Ire
land becomes a nation all social wrongs
will be redressed and social evils
wiped away. You can rely that the
people at home will do their duty, if
you will do your duty here. and you
can rely upon it that they never again
will rush with folly and precipitation
on the foe, nor ever again bow the
knee TO tyranny and power. Onr
country will never again be called
beggar upon the bounty of other lands,
but will hold up her head without the
blush of shame in her new struggles
for freedom. In Democracy lies our
hope. We must Judge a man for
what is in him, not what is around
him. Labor, not birth, must be the
patent of nobility. With the triumph
of Democracy over the system that
degradcs people our country's cause
must succeed If we are only true to
ourselves. Only when the nest of con-
spirators has been driven from Dublin
Castle will you witness the full triumph
of our country's cause and the blessed
day of our country's freedom"

verbal astuteness of a Philadelphia
lawyer
He saluted Mr.. Vale, removed n
pair of gold-bowed Eyeglasses from
his nose, presented a letter of introduc-
ton from Sunset Cox and told his
tale. lie had read in Il history that
General Horatio Gates, of the revolu-
tionary army, had never received his
five years communication allowance in
lieu Of half pay for life, and he desir-
ed to know if such was the fact and
what sum in consequence was due the
descendants Of General Gates on ac.
count. Mr.. Vale promised to make
inquiry, but, as the eldest records
in the Office of Bookkeeper jackson
were dated 1872. the task at first
seemed hopeless.
In the top story Of the treasury de-
partment, underneath the roof, are
four and half miles, in lineal feet,
of shelving. where the records and
files of the department are preserved.
No record Of General Gates account
could be found in the bookkeeper's di-
vision, and Mr. Vale rummaged the
files. lie made n rich find. In a
small book, which had evidently been
rebound within the last half century,
he discovered all the receipts for com
mutation of pay granted officers of the
revolutionary army, among them be-
ing the receipt of General Horatio
Gates, dated July, 1884, at Philadel-
phia, for Sll 500, that amount being
the communication due him in lieu Of
his life half.pay allowance.
Besides this the records OF the pay
office Of the Continental establishment,
from IVA to 1892, were unearthed,
and in them the indebtedness of
Washington to the government was
found. These old books are in won
dcrful state Of preservation, and they
are properly regarded as one Of the
greatest curiositics in the treasury de-
partment. General Washington &C.
counts are found in four separate en-.
tries in two volumes of the journals.

what was the cause Of the apparent

the deficit in the specie account is be-
ieved to have been due to the depre.

coin.
The name of Colonel Benedict Ar

PITTsBuRC, Pa. May 4.--The long
struggle last fall Of the republicans
for a congressional candidate in the
district which includes Lawrence.
Beaver aud Washington counties, will
be remembered by the public. At
that time the delay in selecting a can.
didate came near resulting in repub.
lican defeat, and the idea Of doing
away with the confcree system was
then advanced. At o'clock today
the following named gentlemen from
the counties indicated met in the gem
tlemen's parlor Of the Monongahela
house for the purpose Of discussing a
better method for making nominations:
Lawrence, w. A. Mehard, ,lJohn Sword,
W. ID. Clark Beaver. J. +. Dravo,

Washington, A. NJ. Todd, Ernest +.
Acheson, John Hall. An organiza-
ton was effected by the election Of w.
A. Mehard as chairman, and Ernest
I. Acheson as secretary. A long dis
cussion followed, which Just before the
closing of the session resulted in a
proposition being made for the sbiltion
of the conferee system and the substi.
tion of the Ohio system, which leaves

from each election precinct in the coun-
ty, the representations being determ-

addition be made to the above system
allowing each county delegates at large
based on the republican majority in
the said counties. After some discus
sion this plan was adopted and will be
presented to the people of that district
for ratification.

account, was also sick from the same
cause. The holstein bull at A. d

recovered. We note the above be-
cause of the erroneous impression ex-
listing in some quarters that Holstein
cattle are free from the risk attach

Neither breed, nor locality from

Science in Farming.

We have much poor land in the
United States, and.an immense area
Of good land. The poor land will be
used to grow timber, or be improved
by converting more or less of it grad
ually, into pasture, and stocking il
with sheer, nd cattle. The main
pointis to iced the sheep or cattle
with some rich nitrogenous food, such
as cotton-seed cake, malt-sprouts,
bran, shorts. mill-feed, refuse beans,
or bean-meal made from beans injured
by the wecyil or bug. In short, the
owner Of -uch land must buy such
food as will furnish the most nutri-
ment and make the richest manure
ut the least cost-taking both of
these objects into consideration. He
will also buy more or less artificial
manures, to be used for the produc-
ton of fodder crops, such as corn mil
let, Hungarian grass, etc. And, as
soen as a portion of the land can be
made rich, he will grow more or less
mangel wurzlos, sugar beets, turnips
and other root crops. SuperphOsphate
will be found admirably adapted for
thisspurpose, and two, three or four
hundred pounds Of cheap potash salts
per acre, can frequently be used on
fodder crops, in connection with two
or three hundred pounds ofsuperphOs-
phate, with considerable profit. The
whole subject is we'll worthy of care
full study. Never in the whole his
tory of the world has there been a
grander opportunity for the applica
ton Of science to the improvement of
agriculture than now.
On the richer lands, the aim of the
farmer will be to convert the plant
food lying dormant in the soil into
profitable crops. The main point is
good tillage. Ln many cases weeds
now run away with half our crops and
all our profits. The weeds which
spring up after the grain crops are
an unmixed evil. They retain the
nitrogen and other plant food, and
when turned make manure for the
succeeding crops. But weeds among
the growing crops are evil, and only |
evil. Thorough blowing is the re-
NEEDY, with drainage where needed.
Joseph Harris, in American Agri- |
culturist
