London Gable: The American bishops
now in Rome have warned the pope that a
further meddling on his part in Irish politics
will weaken the attachment of the Itish in
America and imperil his influence among
them. This action is supposed to bedue to the
recent letter OF the pope to the Irish clergy
exhorting them to keep out of political at
fairs. The bishops have, during their stay
at Rome, taken every opportunity to oppose
the entrigues of Errington, the semi-official
representative of England at the Vatican, to
whom is credi'cd tue inspire ion of the let
Ter referred ID. This protl is likely to
give his holiness a vivid idea of the strength
of the lie between the people OF Ireland,
and their brethren on the other side of the

Marquis Harrington, secretary o state 70

ure likely 10 increase the power of the il
reconcilabIes in parliament. Chamberlain,
president of the board of trade, recently ex-
pressed an opinion in favor of extending
the reform measure TO Ireland.

Sheridan's Oh-tIand Greek

From tae London Family Herald
Lord Belgrave having clinched a
speech in the House of Commons with
long Greek quotation, Sheridan, in re-
ply, admitted the force of the quotation,
so far as it went. But" said he, chad
the noble Lord proceeded little further
and completed the passage, he would
have seen that it applied the other way"
Sheridan then spouted something, ore
rotundo, which had all the ais, ois, kous
and koes that gave the world assurance
of a Greek quotation, upon which Lord
Belgrave very promptly and handsomely
com plimented the honorable MEMBER
on his readiness of recollection, and
frankly admitted that the continuation
of the passage had the tendency as
cribed 10 it by Mr.. Sheridan, and that
he had overlooked it at the moment
when he gave his quotation. On the
breaking up of the house, Fox, who
pioued himself on having some Greek"
went up to Sheridan and asked MIN,
sheridan, how came you TO be so ready
with that passage? 1t certainly is as you
say, but / was not aware of it before you
quoted it," 1t is almost unnecessary to
observe that there was no Greek at all
in Sheridan's impromptu.

what Mormon Elder Says.

Salt Lake City Special; John Taylor,
president of the Mormon church, in an in
terview recently says he does not propose
to resign at present in anybody's favor. If
he was removed he would resign in Can
mons favor for harm any and prosperity in
the church. Three hundred missionaries
were at work all over the world with great
success, and Nor nonisln was oound to pre-
vail. especially in the United States. More
converts had been brought to Utah since
the passage of the Edmunds bill than for
four years before. The church organ cop
es the Cleveland anti polygamy societY's
constitution. and adds if this secret abomi-
nation initiated at Cleveland spreads over
the country. surely the deep hypocrisy OF
the nation, stepped as it is in the slough of
iniquity, shall bring upon it the swift iudg-
ment ofoffending heaven.

GIGANTIC BUCKEYES.
The House that is Occupied by - Couple OF
Ohio Giants.

From tho Cincinnati Enquirer
Capt Martin Van Buren, Bates, who lives
or u tarm near Seville. o.. il Z feetl IL
irc ,es high, and weighs 478 pounds. Mrs.
l,,oes is feet | inches high, and weiShs
AS pounds. II is difficult matter to con-
vey an adequate idea of the proportion OK
such a dwelling as the one occupied by the
Ohio giants A door that Is six feet SIX
inches high is a largo sized opening In the
side of house--that is q dwelling house,
not a cathedral But the doors OF the
domicile of the Bates giants are ten feet
high. and the knobs are nearly as high as
the reporters head.
The house was built by Capt. Bates in
1876, ard is elegantly furnished. In the
main building on the ground loor are, be
sides the spacious hall, the bed chamber
of the giants sitting room and parlor.
The couch upon which the big couple
sleep was made especially for them, and 1t
is a curiosity to look at II is extensive
enough TO give the great people
room to stretch in, and IL
looks as big as On ordinary sized floor. Ii
is really ten feet long, wide IN proportion,
and about twice as high as common bed
lhe magnificent dressing case is also ~
huge affair." with glass upon it nearly az
big as the side Of a mouse. In the sitting
room is piano Of ordinary size itself, but
il is mounted on blocks two feet high, 50,
that the instrument is awav up in the mir,
ont of the reach of common folks. There
are two rocking chairs in TINS room that are
so big that the reporter had to climb up ln-
to one of them the same as al infant would
Chamber mp into high chair. " II is very
expensive for giants to live, as they have to
pay such an exCrbitant price for everything
they wear. For instance, it costs the capt
ain $50 pair of boots.
It is n most Astounding sight to come
across the two giants out for drive. City
folks have seen the ponderous wagons with
wheels reaching TO the second story OF
house, used to haul stones weighing tons
and tons, can form any idea of the vehicle
used. II is pulled by six stout Norman
horses, and it is enough to make n man
think he has got 'em sure to suddenly meet
such spectacle on the road out III the
conntry. Passing wagons have TO let the
asls down and drive into the adjoining
fields until the giants 60 by.
