FREDDIE AND LILY.

Tender and Touching Communication by

New York, Jan. 6.-There has been q
great deal of speculation at the Union
club on account of the mysterious and

that Immediately after Mrs. Langtry's
arrival in Chicago an extensive tele-
graphic correspondence was begun be-
tween the truthful" Freddie and the
object of his affections. The young
man was not as economical IN expense
as he was in his manner of spelling his
telegraphic billet doux, running from 25
to 400 words in length. He told the
stery Of his love at the expense of FIVE
cents a word, and asked permission to
penetrate into the wilds of the Calumet
where he hoped to be able to offer up
his devotions without fear of intrusion
from the ruthless reporter. The Lily
said no, but his rebuff did not check his
ardor, and after long consultation over
Webster he succeeded in formulating o
message that struck the Lily as about
right, as she replied as follows:
10 G. Febhardt, Union club: I shall
not consent to your coming without
Maura. With much love, L.
Happy Maura! Disconsolate Freddie!
However, the latter had faith in "di-
monds," "Pomryseck," and more "frute." !"
so he bade goodbye to the bays. and
hastily summoning his "villey," took
his departure. He kept the contents Of

There seems to be little prospect, says
a Washington telegram of the 9th inst,
that any of the pending measures with
reference to the admission or division of
Dakota will go through this congress.
The idea of readjusting the debt of
Yankton county seems also eventually
abandoned. A dispatch was sent not
long since to Mr.. Burrows, chairman of
the house committee on territories, by
the agent Of the bondholders at Chicago,
declining to agree to the terms of the
pending bill, providing for issuing new
bonds, and it is doubtful now whether
the committee will report the bill in its
present shape to the house for passage.
Mr.. Hale's expressed purpose to oppose
the admission bill on the ground OF
Yanliton countys railroad debt prevents
the passage Of that measure by the SEN
ate. Under the present rules of the
house, buried as the bill is in the calen-
dar, 1t will be impossible to have iteven
taken up then. Mr.. Burrows says, how.
ever, that he will not give up trying to
pass the bill, but does not believe it can
be put through. Yankton county has
done everything in its power to settle
with its creditors. It has agreed to the
only feasible plan and has accepted the
scheme dictated by congress. It wa.
willing to go much further il
the way of settlement, but was held il
check by the members of the congres
| sional committees on territories. Th
telegram goes on to say:
that the Fepabiicans s did not pass ss The diViso

John II. King, of the Chamberlain
Register, is of an enquiring turn of mind
He has sent q letter to each member oi
the legislature in which these two queries
are prominent: "Are you in favor of tie
removal of the capital?" "Would you
vote for the removal Of the capital? ?"
Each missive contains stamped and
addressed return envelope, SO it is pre-
sumed that King is dreadfully in earnest
We have been permitted to peruse the
reply of northern member. He writes
"Yes.' "You bet" Thus do Chamberlain

BIG PILES At POKER.

How one of the Pacific Coast Senators
Hauled in 100000.
From the Stockton Mail.
George L. Waters related an incident
to-day to Mail reporter concerning q

Waters was in the employ Of certain con-
gressmen around the capitol at Washing

seat in the senate he was introduced
into the district club, of which Boss
Shepherd was prominent member.
Poker at that time was praminent re-
creation of the club, and Jones was in
duced to take hand. Although good
poker player, he retired from the game
q loser to the amount of $4,000. The
senator, having q few silver mines at hif
back for pocket money, was game, and
did not allow the least expression o1
chagrin or distrust to escape him.
The next morning he telegraphed to
one of the most expert card sharps in
Virginia City. Eight days afterward
the gambler arrived in Washington,
dressed in very expensive suit
/ of clothes and sporting a small
fortune in the way OF diamonds. Jones
introduced him to the club as q mining
millionaire from Nevada, and the stal
route frauds and nayy.yard thieves i'm
mediately made arrangements to plucA
him. He accepted an invitation to play
The stakes ran high, and the spurious
millionaire was well supplied with Jones
money. At the end of the tournament
the stranger rose from the table the win
ner Of 100000 of the club. It was
severe blow to the ringsters, but the.
made the people of the United State
pay it back to them indirectly and il
short order. Jones divided the swa,
with his friend and never Get foot in th
club rooms again.

IRELANpA NDTHEPnPE.

The recent cirI ular of advice issued
by the POPEis the most disturbing mat
ter that has lately been introduced into
Irish affairs.
1t is probable that the Irish people,
at home and abroad, have never before
manifested 30 rebellious spirit toward
the POPE, as at he present time. The
language held toward the holy father
by eminent Catholics and Irishmen Of
distinguished fidelity to the Church is
SUR rising FROM such a source.
The effect Of this action of the PoPE
will be watched with much interest by
the world. II virtually puts the POPE
and the chosen header of the Irish at
enmity. The matter of the circular to
which the Irish take exception is con-
tsined in the following extract:
"Whatever Mr.. Psrnelps object may
he, his followers have often adopted \
course openly against the rules of the
pope's letter To Cardinal MrCabe and
lie instructions sent to the bishops,
which were accepted at their recent
meeting in Dublin. While it is lawful
6r tie Irish to seek redress for their
Grievances and to strive for their rights,
fbry should at the same time seek Gods
ustice and remember the wickedness
of Illegal means in furtherlng even =

The liablhIy OF the most experienced
and skillful to make mistakes was never
better illustrated than in recent cases
of pilot and engineer. A few weeks
ago n veteran pilot, one who had run
scores OF ocean steamers in and out of
Portland harbOr, without the slightest
accident, ran the steamer Brooklyn
upon the rocks in that harbOr, on q
bright, moonlight evening, when the
sea was almost a. calm n a mill pond.
The act was ineXcusable, a terrible
blunder, aud one that cost many thOus-
ands of dollars. But everybody SYM
pathized with the gray-haired old pilot,
because it was his first mishap after
years of faithful service.

to curb the excited feelings ofthe people
and To urge justice and moderation.
The Clergy are not permitted to de-
part from these rules and join and pro-
mote movements Inconsistent with
them. Collections to relieve distress are
Permitted, but subscriptions To intiame
popular passions are condemned. Inc
clergy must hold aloof when 1t Is plain
that by such movements hatred ana

murders go uncensured and when pa

scribed the people are thereby lntimi-
dated. Therefore, the Parneil fund Is
disapproved, and no clergyman should
recommend subscriptions thereto or
promote it." =,
Commenting on this circular, Mr..
THOMAS BRENNAN, honorary secre-
tary of the Irish National League, with
reat emphasis and dignity, says:
"When the Pope speaks ec c0thedra
his opinion will be respected but when
he talks OF the politics Of Ireland we
have just ~ much respect for his opin-
ion as for that of any other man Of aoil-
ity-no more and no less. If he takes
sides with England against Ireland,
then we will have to be against the
Pope, There was time-before the
ps ople of Ireland became educated
when it was necessary that the priests
should take a leading part in politics;
but that time has fortunately gone b."
Such language as this can only be
properly weighed and estimated when
the habitusl and deep respect is called
to mind with which Irish Catholics al
ways have received the injunetions of
the head OF their church. The Irish
Nation, through Mr.. BREsLIN, has this
utterance:
"As regards staying agitation, il will
be without effect, but it will react on
the church by increasing intidelity. 1t
will make the Irish anti Christians
most decidedly. Instead of making
England Catholic il will make Ireland
Protestant. This thing will enlarge
the gap between the people and the
pie ITS, which has already begun. The
dream OF the Pope is to secure the
conversion Of England. To attain
that end he would be willing that Ire
land should remain in chains through
out eternity"
The occasion and these manifestations
of dissent and indignation bOde harm
to the popular cause in Ireland, and
must be regretted by its friends
Throughout the world.

Advice to Calored Voters.


There is a good deal OF dissention among
the colorei voters of the country in regard
to politics. A national convention has
been called to meet in Washington 10 con-
slider the questions at issue, but it seems to
encounter great opposition in some inhu-
entail quarters Many of the most intelli-
gent negroes bitterly complain that the Re-
publicans have used their votes in the
elections without giving them an adequate
return in the way of Office. 1
There Is truth in Use complaints. Ever
since the Fiileeath Amendment was adopt
ed, the Republicans have acted on the as.
sumption that they owned the negro vote
of the whole country. The colored men
should break this yoke, aud assert their
right TO cast their ballots as they please.
But they should not study so much their
own peculiar interests as the real welfare
of the whole people; and a. any rate they
should not be the serfs of any political
party
