Extrad1tion of Irish Suspects.

London Cable: At a meeting of the
cabinet Lord Granville took the ground
that the government was far from pre-
pared to ask for the extradition, and
said that the correspondence he had
had with Washington, as wellas the in
formation he had derived from the
American minister at London, convinced
him that unless the government was bet
ter equipped with evidence the extradi-
ton, if requested, would be refused.
He advised the Withholding of the de-
mand for e%xtradition until the govern
ment's case was SO strengthened by
further evidence that when it was sent
TO Washington for reference to Amer
lean counsel they would advise the de-
mand. Earl Granville said that this evil
dence was forthcoming, and that Mr..
sackville West had been notified that it
would be sent to him, and requested to
submit the entire case then to Amer

New York Opium Dens.

On Monday the Catholic Young Mems
association of New York had its monthly
meeting and adopted resolutions de-
nouncing the locality selected, No. 20
Mott street, in the very heart of the
Chinese colony. The president said
that n o. the priests Ct the church was
struck and grossly insulted by an aban-
doned girl last night. He called atten-
ton to the wholesale ruin of young girls
by Cinnamon in the neighborhood. The
Rev. Father Barry said: 81 know as a
priest Of this parish that in the neigh
borhood, of a hundred little girls have
been ruined in the Mott street opium
dens within a year. The girls are in
duced to visit the opium shops, and
once in the dens are coaxed into trying
a pipe or two of opium. The girls soon
became victims of the opium habit, and
then they become regular habitues of
the house, and ruin is the natural result.
Some of the incidents were horrible .be-

Another Bonanza Senator in a
Bad Scrape.

A complaint was filed in the First
Judicial District Of Nevada, last Wednes-
day, by Theresa Fair against James G
Fair; of action, adultery on the
defendant. The plaintiff states she was
married to defendant in Calaveras
county, California, in December, 1862;
came to Nevada with him in 1866; has
lived with him until a few months age,
when she became cognizant of certain
acts if infdelity on the part of the de-
PENDANT, since which time she has not
lived with him. The complaint a y the
defendant committed adultery with half
a dozen persons named. The plaintiff
says the defendant has possession and
control of large amount of community
property, tho particulars which she
cannot state. Mrs. Fair prays Judgment
as follows:
First-That divorce be granted her
and that she be awarded the custody of
her children.
Second-That such portion ofthe COM
munity property be allowed and set
apart as shall be equitable and just. The
affair created quite a sensation in Vir-
ginia or account of the high standing in
society of both parties and the great
wealth of Fair, who is also q representa-
tive of Nevada in the United States SEN
ate. The prevailing opinion on the
Comstock is that the Nevada states man
will not make a defense in the suit, but
allow it to go by default, agreeing to such
settlement of property a, may be deter
mined upon by the counsel. Gossips
also say that the amount has been
agreed upon as follows: So. 900, 600 cash;

For the period of ten months ending

Right andedness.

Mr. Charles Reade wrote one or two
letters some time ago to a morning
paper condemning the practice of
nurses and mothers who discourage
their children from using the left hand,
and thus render it comparatively un-
serviceable. Nature, he maintained,
has left ~extremities Of the body; and
but for the existence Of a foolish preiu-
dice in favor of the right hand, both
limbs might be rendered eq ually useful
DR.. Gaetan Delaunay has just commune
Gated an interesting paper to the French
Archaeological Society, in which he
seeks to establish that ht-handedness
is not an acquired habit, but is a natural
attribute characteristic of the superior
races. Savage tribes, he states, and
co .nmunities in an inferior state of
civilization show a much larger proper.
ton of left-handedness than high
ly civilized people do. The Annamites
for instance, are noted as a..left-handed,
people; and negroes, according to Hart
ing, are equally developed on both sides
ofthe body, the right and left extremi-
ties possessing exactly the same power
and weight. Idiots and epilleptics again,
offer a very large percentage of left

left. handed women than men. Infants,
DR.. Delaunay says, are left-handed at
first (Mr. Reade adduced this act in sup
port of his theory; as they grow older
they become bo~th-handed, and eventu-
ally ~right-handed. In old age, however,
there is a marked tendency to BOTH
handedness again. His general conclu-
sion is that in the evolution of the spe-
eies there has been a steady tendency to
the development Of the right side OF
the body at the expense Of the other,

It lie believed that the number of inn
migrants this year will be 100000 less
than during 1882, owing to better times
abroad and increased remuneration for
labor. The immigration of the last few
years must have relieved the over
crowded labor fields Of the old world, to
a much greater extent than is generally
supposed. This relief, however is only
temporary. The natural increase OF
population will soon place things as they
Were, and then immigration will come

Europe can only be kept alive by an
open outlet for the surplus and average

moralized as it is this spring. Tons up
on tons of old butter which cost an av-
erage Of SO cents per pound have been
thrown on the market. recently, after
being held all winter for high prices,
and it is estimated that Boston dealers
and shippers will lose from 100000 to
$750,@ on their purchases. Several
thousand tubs of old butter are held by
the farmers Of Northern Vermont. and
they are now glad to get ten cents a
pound for what they refused thirty-f7e
for last winter. The decrease in the de-
mand for export, and q diminished call
from the west, have been the principal
reasons why the price did not advance
as was expected.
