CRUSHING AN UNBELIEVER.-Wh1le the
steamer was lying at Waterproof, La.,- on
the way down the river, a little bald headed,
hook-nosed man from Tennessee got into a
religious discussion with a tall, long wasted
man from Arkansas. They had it hot and
heavy for q while, the little man doubling
that the whale ever swallow ed Jonah or
that Daniel was cast into the lions den.
We expected to see the big man reach out
for him every minute, but he was man
who always went by the programme. After
the boat started he went to the captain and
asked:
"How far IS it to the next landing?"
"We shall stop at a plantation twelve
miles down."
"What would be the expense of stopping
this steamer and sending out boat to- pick
up man."
81 wouldn't want to lose the time for less
than S.. Why do you ask?"
because, replied the man as he pulled out
a roll of bills and hunted for five, ''there's
alittle pinch of man back here. who's got
to own up that the ravens fed Elijah or Pm
going to heave him overheard! Here's
your cash, and you can get your small boat
ready"
Several passengers combined to argue him
out of the idea, and though ne finally con-
cluded to abandon it, he brought his list
down hard on the rail and said:
"Well, then, won't, but I'll slip around
there after while, and if he denies that we
whipped the British at Bunker Hill I'll
have his ears or never show my face again
in old Arkansaw !"-Detroit Free Press.

How Ireland is Ruled.


London Truth.
The Castle system has been described by
Mr. Herbert Gladstone and Others as the worst
form of government in the world. Let us
see what the Irish government is. 1t consists
OF the Lord Lieutenant and tue Privy Coun-
Gil Ia knot of judges whom it would be gross
fiattery to call old women) an Irish Score
tsry and host of permanent officials. These
are the puppets. The people vino pull the
strings are large number of white-livered,
parc-stricken country gentlemen, and a Sc
lect body of resident magistrates and police
inspectors to whom it is matter of great
moment to get themselves talked of in some
way in order to be promoted Except in the
rare moments when English public opinion
Qorced by Parnell & Coz puts pressure on
the Castle" the Castle always does exactly
what these unsexed country gentlemen and
these officials on their promotion tell it to
dc. If any one can imagine the father of a
family ruling his grown-up sons upon prin-
cipes suggested by their little sisters in the
nursery and their mothers maid, who wants
the place of housekeeper he will have an ex-
act fac-simile of the system OF Dublin Castle.

THE CINCINNATI FESTIVAL.
Story of the Closing Opera-Patti in 'Linda
Di Chamouni."

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The opera Linda was composed by re-
quest of the Emperor of Austria, and was
first presented to the Viennese public in 1872
Its success was undoubted, and established
Donizetti firmly in the affections of Emperor
Frederick, who made him court composer
and cappelmeister of the Imperial Chapel
The libretto is by Rossi, who selected the
subject from one of the numerous dramas
that in that day interested French pleasure
seekers at the Paris Gaiety Theater. There
is any quantity of the tender passion dis
played through the work, both of the pure
order and otherwise. The heroine is Linda
Swiss peasant girl, the daughter of Antonio
a small farmer living at ChamouniX in
which village the story opens. The family
are in poor circumstances, and are fearful
that soon they will be compelled to give up
the homestead to the owner, the Marchoness
of Siroal The Marquis Boisfeury
brother of the noble lady, appears
before the poor people and tells
them that he will aid them in retaining
their house and farm. They are properly
grateful, not knowing that the noble is an
unprincipled roue, who has become en-
amoured of their daughter, Linda, and
has selected this mode of securing her affec-
tions, The girl herself is in love with and
loved by young artist named Carlo, who
as far as she knows, is as poor as herself.
The good project of the village, well knowing
the dssolute character of the Marquis, warns
the parents of the ruin he is plotting, and in
order that Linda may escape his advances
suggests that she be sent to Paris in COM
pany with the peasants on their annual trip
thither, and remain there with brother of
his. She goes under the chaperonage of
Pierotto, from whom she in some way be-
comes separated. She also learns to her con-
sternation that the brother of the project is
dead, and that she is alone in the great
French capital. Suddenly she meets Carlo
who has followed her from Chamounix. He
tells her that he Is not what he has always
pretended to be, but that he is the
son of the Warehouses He easily per-
suades the homeless Linda, to live
in handsome suite OF apartments he pro-
vides for her. Pierotto discovers her here
while singing before the Window for aims.
The Marquis also discovers and visits her
much to her disgust. But her grief and
shame can be better imagined than described
when her father who, unable to support
himself at home, has come to Paris in order
to gain livelihood, calls on the young Wis
count and finds her. He thinks the worst
has come to her, and casting her off pro-
nounces a malediction upon her The music
here is considered the most effective of any
portion Of the work. At the same time

London Globe.
A complete circumlocution Office of mysti-
fioation was devised for DELAYING plots
and throwing dustin the eyes of conspirators
In one case which has hitherto escaped
record, the Nihilists were suspected of hav-
ing driven mine beneath the railway line
from Gatschina to ST. Petersburg Under
the pretense of desire to recover an old
telegraph wire said to have been lost thirty
years ago (sueh was the story told by the
official and copied by the non-oticial
press) large staff of workmen were en-
ployed to search for the hidden danger
Nothing. however, was found-not even the
lost wire In the meantime the Car wished
to pay one of his rare and rapid, but almost
always nocturnal, visits to the capital. What
was to be done? The police decided upon
ruse. The imperial railway carriage was
ostentatously brought from its shed, and as
ostentatiously made to perform the journey
between Gatschina and st. Petersburg on
date ostentatiouslv given as that of the EN-
perors arrival. The empty carriage arrived
without accident, thus proving the safety of
the line; and when the real journey took
place little time afterward, its secrecy was
well kent, the Gar travelling, in the most lit
eral sense. "darkly and at dead of night"
