Gath on Parnell.

George Alfred Townsend, in his letter
on the Philadelphia convention, said; I
have Just come back from the United
Irish convention at Philadelphia. 1t was
a fair looking body. The priests were
fine-looking, discreet, yet kindly-impell-
ed men. They and their useful influence
made the convention a success. When
Father Boyan spoke and said that Eng
land had been the treacherous assassin
of America in the rebellion, and Ireland
true to the republic and freedom, the ap-
plause was slight. That little negro Or
phan boy hung during the draft riots
seems to have been on the platform with
the rope around his neck saying: "When
I wanted freedom and We could give it
where did ye stand ?" When the truth
shall make the Irish free they will be
free indeed. 1t was proud thing for
anv man to see the incarnation of Par

s'Call the Next Case, SIR

Forty years ago Eatonton, Ga, was a
fast town. Gambling of all kinds, cock
fighting and horse racing was the rule, as
it is the exception now. Why, sir, at one
term of the court-l845 or 1846-the
grand jury returned one true bill against
forty persons-John w. Ashurst, solici-
and number of prominent
lawyers included-in one batch for gam
ing. In was in this case that it is said
Judge Cone made himself famous. When
the case was reached all of the defend
ants arose and pleaded guilty. Judge
Cone fined each of them $40 and costs,
and lectured them severely upon the USE
lessness and immortality of such habits
and the viciousness of the example
which they were setting for the youth of
the country; then, commanding the de-
PENDANTS to take their seats, with a
solemn face, but a merry twinkle in his
eye, he turned to the clerk and said:
"Now, Mr.. Clerk, enter after these cases,
estate of Georgia VS.. Judge Cone; gam
ing special information by his honor ;
plea of guilty, and fine him 500 and
costs. Call the next case, sir"

An Enterprising Chinaman.
Ne1r York Letter.

The Mongolians are rapidly getting
civilized here. Tom Lee, who married
buxom Irish lass, took out naturaliza-
ton papers, gave feast in honor OF the
birth of daughter, got appointed dep
uty sheriff, and become by common con-
sent the leading spirit in the Chinese
colony, has proved an exceedingly apt
scholar. He began poor he became rich.
His little cigar store grew into manu-
factory. 1t is now found out that he has
been levying tribute on the Chinese gam
bling houses in his official capacity, much
the same as the police captains do on a
larger scale. He has only charged IS a
week to protect each den, but his collec-
tions from this source are believed to
have amounted to $4,000 annually, and
it is charged that in many instances he
has terrorized men who do not keep
gambling houses, but simply played
harmless games for their own amusement.
His credentials as deputy sheriff have
been taken away from him, but he has
barricaded his place, armed his followers,
and threatened dire vengeance against
all who shall 60 before the grand jury
on his account. After all, will it be con-
sistent to make an example Of Tom Lee
and say nothing about Capt. Williams,
for instance?

The Tragedy in Buchanan's Life.

The mention made by Mr., George
Ticknor Curtis that the reason for Mr..
Buchanan obstinate bach helorhood would
be made public upon the publication of
Mr. Curtis book is made in forgetfulness
that numbers of persons already know
that tragedy occurred in Mr.. Buchan-
ans early life from which few men could
have entirely recovered. The circum-
stances of the death of Miss Coleman of
Philadelphia, to whom Mr.. Buchanan
was to have been married, are known
and authenticated. Her family opposed
the marriage, and intercepted the letters
written to Philadelphia when he met
with painful accident, and was detained
for some weeks on the way; he made a
last appeal to her, which remained un-
answered. When he reached Philadel-
phia they met accidentally, and Mr..
Buchanan did not speak to her. She
went home and was found dead next
morning. Her family declared that she
died from heart affection, under the
intense pressure of grief and excitement,
but it was commonly thought she had
poisoned herself Persons in Washing
ton who remember Mr.. Buchanan, say
that he was anything but averse to the
society of cultivated women, but he
never got beyond the point of critical ad-
miration.

Good Story Of Thad Stevens.

Ex-Sreaker Grow tells good anecdote
of Thaddeus Stevens, who once, defend
ing the public schools that had with diff
ficulty been legalized, said that the Penn
sylvania Dutch cared nothing for educa-
ting their sons and daughters provided
they could import and breed fine pigs
and cattle and horses. This was made
the most of by Stevens enemies and he
had to defend himself publicly when he
went back to Gettysburg, and did it with
the argumentum ad hominem. "Isn't it
true?" he said. "You, Jake Snyder, have
got ram that cost you $1,000 and none
of your daughters can read. You, Hans
Deitman, paid $4,000 for bull, but make
all your sons work winter and summer.
You, Jimmy Lootman, own Westphalia
boars and brood sows, and can't read
yourself. Don't you love your beasts
better than your children and your
minds?" The honest Dutchman began
to confer: "That is right" they said;
"he only told the truth" Stevens, in
stead of Muhlenberg, should have mon
ument in the capital.

An Old Story OF Dickens Ret0ld.

"reminiscences of old Major Throck-
morton, who for years kept the Gait
House in Louisville, are always in order.
It was the Major who said that the tur-
key was very inconvenient bird-too
large for one and not large enough for
two. When Charles Dickens visited this
country in 1916, he meant to stay a day
or two in Louisville, and, of course put
up at the Gait House. He had been set
tied in his room in the second story only
an hour or two, when the Major, bo-
som friend of Henry Clay, and on terms
of more or less intimacy with every
notable man in the South, sent his name
to the novelist, and followed it a moment
after in person. "Nlr Dickens" he began,
extending his hand, 1--WE are glad to
welcome you. We know you and admire
you, and will consider it a great privilege
for me to be allowed to extend to you the
hospitalities of the metropolis of Ken
lucky. As your special host, I beg that
you will command me for any service in
nv power to render" Mr.. Dickens re-
ceived this with a frigid stare. "When
I need you, landlord" he said, pointing
to the door, II will ring" The Major
was for an instant paralized. Then he
rushed at his patron, caught him by one
1or on1 ehor1dor ond hod him bo1f WOW
out of the open window before another
visitor in the room could interfere and
save the Englishman's life. Mr.. Dickens
left town the same day, and the only
mention that he made in his American
Notes" of Louisville, was to refer to a
casual pig that he saw roofing in the
street as he was on his way to take the
river steamer.

nell beside Washington. His face was

men would die for. His is the foremost
in the, British lands to-day, Gladstone not
excepted. His spirit of prudence and his
hard exposure between an impulsive
race an.1 grim Britain makes him the
worlds hero momentarily. His place to-
day is nearly akin to that of William the
Tactiturn in the Netherlands four CEN
turies ago.
Americans generally are not enthusias-
tic for Irish rights. Yet rights are like
the quality of mercy. think it is al
ways safe to give ones sympathies to the
oppressed and those struggling to rescue
from organic selfshness the seed of ma
tional life and self-development. The
Irish may become better under the re-
straints of Independence. They begin
to perceive the value of public opinion
to every cause. They can not have the
worlds countenance till they discard as
sassins and all forms of treachery in the
pursuit of liberty. By the best behavior
they can not have complete liberty at
once. Liberty is bride only to be OBJ
tanned through great merits and great
probation. To expect to WOO and get her
with dirk knife and torpedo will ever
be to prove unworthiness of her. Eng
land ought to be ashamed of herself for
treating Ireland so unfeelingly. The at
titude of Parnell is manly and winning.

Rosa.

Cats on ShipbOard.
All the Year Round.

them. have seen cat rolled over and
over by patriarch on whom she had
pounced, and retire from the fray dis
comfted, with severe bite through the
lip. In connection with cats and rats, I
will mention two episodes that I could
scarcely have believed possible had they
not come under my immediate notice.
On board the Elbe We had grand, great
yellow cat in the after part of the ship
for cats have their own well-defined
homes afloat as ashore, and resent intru-
sion within their boundaries from feline
rivals quite as conservatively as their
brethren who enjoy the blessings OF the
land. Sandy, then, reigned over the
saloon and quarterback, and was the
most accomplished and gentlemanly cat
was ever acquainted with. One morn
ing, while we were lying in the Scheldt
abreast of Antwerp, Sandy was sitting on
the rail watching the disembarking of
the cargo and the various operations OF
the small craft which surrounded the
steamer, with that responsible air of gen.
eral superintendence which distinguishes
him, when he suddenly caught sight Of a
rat in one of the lighters alongside.
Without seconds hesitation he sprang
down from the rail into the lighters
cargo-space, descent of fully thirty feet,
perhaps more! As may be expected, he
was nearly killed by the fall, and lay for
days almost insensible, but we nursed
him round again with beef tea and bran
by. The other accident was horrible. l
had brought an old cat with me, on join
ing certain rat-ridden ship, knowing
him to be good sporting animal it was
not mine, but one l had borrowed for the
voyage on hearing the vessels reputation
for natural history. She was fairly over
run with vermin from stem to stern, but
it appeared that there was an extraordin-
ary concentration of the ratty element in
the storerooms underneath the fore-peak.
Nothing served to restrain their depreda-
tlons or to diminish their numbers and
audacity; it was scarcely safe to venture
down there. and the store-keeper was at
his wits end to know how to protect the
articles under his charge. At length he
asked me to allow him to put Tim down
there at night, not so much in the hope
of destroying the rats as Of soaring them
away. Tim was accordingly conducted
thither before the gratings were put on,
and left there with his saucer of bread
and milk, his mat, and no lack of COM
pany. In the morning nothing remain
ed of him but gnawed bones and some
SCRAPS of gray fur.

A Peculiar Funeral.

heard the other day, says Wash
ington correspondent, of a most interest
ing case of feminine fortitude. A wife of
a Washington public agitator prides her
self upon her beautiful voice, although
she can no more sing than crow. One
day her husband took sick and the ply
sician said he could not live. The wife
came in when he was dying and took
her place in a theatrical position and
sang in loud yelling voice, "Nearer My
God to Thee" If the poor dying man
had not been reconciled to going before
that, the song must have sweetened his
parting with this earth. After the wo-
man had finished this song she said to
the doctor, II will not wait to see my
husband die. My artistic nature cannot
endure painful sights. I will go away, so
as to retain in memory the look of Johns
face when he is yet free from pain"
Then this Roman matron went to bed
and was sound asleep when her husband
passed away. The next day the Roman
matron remained in retirement. But
that evening she lighted up her whole
house as if for reception. The visitors
who came to pay calls Of coincidence
almost fancied themselves at a general
reception. "John" was not there. He
was in coffin up stairs, neatly slowed
away in small bedroom.
Said the Roman matron to her callers
"How many noble hearts have called to
see me this evening? Yes, fully forty
great hearts have come to me with their
sympathy" Then again: Bring me
one of Shakspeare's tragedies. Let me
read that; that alone can now comfort
my mind" By asudden transition: "By
the way, would you like to see John?"
Then, without waiting: ~ do not think
you would care to see John. The sight
of him would only distress you. Let us
remember him in our great hearts as he
once was"
The next night "John" was carried
to another friends house-one of the
best on X street-and at night the funer-
al was held. The dear, devoted wife fell
across the coffin twice during the cere-
monies in the most approved abandon.
Once when she arose she brought away a
large heap of shrubbery from the floral
display on the coffin by its catching in
her Grape veil. This added special in
terest to the scene, and made some of her
friends liken her to "poor Ophelia." !"
Then the bereaved widow tried to sing
at the funeral, and was only prevented
after the hardest of work.
It is probable that no such funeral was
ever before seen in Washington. To
this absurd attempt at theatrical display
is Joined the fact that the husband died
from absolute neglect upon the part of
the wife to obey the doctors directions
and to properly nurse him, and thus the
picture is made the more remarkable. 1t
is case that has made much talk, as the
man was we'll known among public men
and widely liked.

Charming Hospitality OF the Dutch
Beers.

When traveller arrives at habitation
he alights from his horse, enters the
house, shakes hands with the men, kisses
the women, and sits down without fur
ther ceremony. When the table is serv-
ed, he takes his place among the family
without waiting for an invitation; this is
never given, on the supposition that a
traveller, in country so thinly inhabited
must always have an appetite for some
thing. Accordingly, "What will you
make use of" is generally the first ques-
ton. If there be bed in the house, it
is given to the stranger. If none, which
is frequently the case among the graziers
of Groar Reynct, he must take his chance
for form, or bench, or heap of sheep
skins, among the rest of the family. In
the morning, after solid breakfast, he
takes his sopie, or glass of brandy, orders
his slave, or Hottentot, to saddle the
horses, again shakes hands with the men
and kisses the woman, he wishes them
health, and they wish him a good jour
ney. In this manner a traveller might
pass through the whole country.
