silvsr-Plstsd w are.

The great improvements during the
last few years in the manufacture of
silver-plated ware, have in many
ways increased the desirableness of
this excellent substitute for solid silver.
Not only has great durability been
obtained by the new methods, but
pattern and finish, which formerly
betrayed the difference between it and
silver, now give no clue by which even
an expert can distinguish.
Clumsiness of shape has given way
to the lightest and most artistic forms,
and the production of meritorious
pattern in the solid metal is quickly
followed by its appearance in the less
costly material.
Even such elaborate decorations as
repousse and hammered work-long
confined to solid silver-are success
fully produced in plated ware with a
delicacy and beauty leaving little to
be desired in respect of appearance.
1t is, however, only in the higher
grade of electroplated ware that these
excellencies of the designer are at
tempted to be wrought out, such per-
fection of workmanship and dainty
finish being impossible in the inferior
varieties, in addition to the vital def <
cheney of these in durability.
BAILEY, BANKS & BIDDLE limit
their assortment to the best makes,
which they can fully guarantee. Par
ticulars will be furnished promptly as
to patterns, qualities and prices, on
application, and any goods desired
will be sent by express on approval,
to anyone known to the house or

O'Brien, member for Mallow, and editor of
United Ireland, said he was asked by the

to support the election of Carey to the town

exert his influence in favor of Carey, whom
he met the first time three weeks after the
election had been held. He said if the same
circumstances arose tomorrow he would do
what he did before.
Mr.. O'Brien argued that crime in Ireland
was distinctly traceable to evictions and the

The Phoenix Park, the scene OF the assas-

Mr.. Burke, for which so many prisoners are
now on trial, contains two thousand acres,
and is entered, like Hyde Park in London,
by a stately gateway. 1t is surrounded by a
solid COPIED wall, and is the playground of
the Irish metropolis, civil and military. and
contains bits of leafty bower and grassy glen
in which solitude, pure and simple, may be
realized. 1t contains statues OF Lord Car
isle, Lord Cough, and q hideous granite
obelisk, frequently referred to in the evil
dence, two hundred feet in height. recording
the exploits of Wellington. The spot where
the assassination took place is about half a
mile from the entrance, and is overlooked
by the vice-regal lodge, the semi-oficial
home of the Lord Lieutenant, which looks
exactly like a twin to our White House. 1t
has, however, the advantage of many oun
tain views of great beauty. A little further

The nI.anness Of the Man.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal:
There is not much to add to what the
Journal has already said by way of ridicule
OF the gallant General Heffren's courage, or
in denuneiation of his treason, and it were,
perhaps, a simple waste of time to indulge in
it. There is room, however, for an occasion
al remark as to the ineffable meanness of the
man as evinced in his desertion of his asso-
ciates and followers in crime, his efforts to
save his own worthless neck at the ex-
pense, to them, of theirs. An old story
is told OF Philip Doddridge, an eminent law
yer of Pittsburg, Pa, who flourished in the
early part of the present century, which so
aptly illustrates this that | give it. bod
bridge was Incorporate in his habits, and
often intoxicated, but seif-possessed and
witty under all circumstances. Passing a
church one day, and hearing some one talk
ing in it, with no distinct idea of what was
going on, he entered it, vending his way
with uncertain steps up the aisle. The
preacher, who was violently ~declaiming
against some ones sins somewhere,
with appropriate gestures and emphasis, said,
will be a witness against him in the day of
Judgment Doddridge, aroused to a partial
sense of the situation, and indignant because
of the supposed attack on himself, retorted:
II expect you will, / shall look for it, fer in
my practice l have always found that the
d-m-d-st rascals turn States evidenced"
1t is not believed hat there was anything
in Heffren's case or conduct that would have
modified the views of Doddridge if he had
been living and known the facts. j.

A Discouraging Season for Bees and Bee

b. ooMINGToN, Feb. 2l.-The beekeepers of
LIMOS are quite fearful that the severe frost
and the long-continued severe weather of the
sinter may have done great damage to their
colonies. 1t is a ~well-known fact that bees
10 not flourish in seasons when it is impos-
Jible for them TO fly abroad once in every

ole this season. Last season was the most
prosperous for b~eekeepers ever known in H.
%tinois, and a great deal of money was made.
The wonderful abundance of the plant known
Rs heartsease, or smartweed, is believed to
have been the cause of the great abundance
of honey. The success of the season has

appropriations foot up several thousand
dollars. Metcalf has been here all day, but
is making no effort to secure evidence, and
those who are opposed to the Dick admins
