O'DONNELL DOOMED.

The trial of O'Donnell charged
with the willful, delibeTa e, premedi-
tated and malicious murder of James
Carey, the prime minister of infamy
who purchased his own worthless
life by turning traitor to his country
men, was commenced on the morn
ing of the Both ultimo, aud ended
Saturday, the 1st instant, in his con-
viction Of the crime charged. The
English judge, with heart stepped
in hate for all that is Irish, and a
mind pliantly subservient to Saxon
bloodhound command sentenced the
unfortunate patriot "to be hanged
by the neck until he be dead, dead,
dead!" The trial was a farce, the
conviction q crime against human
ity, and the sentence an outrage up
on the Christian civilization Of the
nineteenth century. After the SEN
tence was pronounced, O'Donnell,
with patriotic and intrepid defiance,
denounced the infamy of a Govern
ment that had condemned him to
death, on a conviction for a crime OF
which he was innocent in the eyes
of God and all decent, intelligent
men. Since he must die, let O'DOn-
nell meet his fate like true man
and patriotic and faithful Irishman,
who loved his country and his coun
tryman, better than he did himself.
O'Donnell's name willliYe in history
TO be cherished by every true Irish
heart in the world.

THE LITTLE WIDOW
BRIGGS.

A span of ponies attached to an
emigrant wagon containing a wo-
man and three children and various
household goods, halted on Grand
River Avenue yesterday to have a
blacksmith set a shoe for one of the
horses. As the woman seemed to
be alone or at least had no man in
sight, the smith asked:
"Old man sick?"
"No sir; hurried him up the coun-

"A pretty little story is told" 4"
says the Newport correspondent OF
the Boston Journal, of the Earl
and Countess of Rosebery, who
were here a short time since. A day
or two before their wedding took
place Miss Rothschild asked the
young Earl what he would like for
a wedding present from her. oh,
he replied, suppose you give me a
box of gloves. The box of gloves
was sent inelosed in an elegant in
laid case. On opening the box the
Earl discovered an envelope ad-
dressed to him in a well-known
hand. He expected it contained a
dainty little note. 1t did, but not
the sort of note he imagined. The
contents of the envelope as a check
written out and signed by Miss
Rothschild, and in favor of the Earl,
and was for the modest little sum Of
100000"

its modified repetition last night
were similar in origin to the appear
ances seen in England is very strong.
The cause was undoubtedly in the
atmosphere, but whether itwas the
result of an abnormal condition of
the air itself, producing extraordi-
nary refractive effects, or of the
presence Of some rejecting matter
in the upper regions of the atmos-
phere cannot perhaps be definitely
settled.
One explanation of the phenome-
non which was put forth yesterday
was that bank of clouds happened
to be so placed that it intercepted
the rays of sunlight which would
otherwise have passed high above
our heads, and reflected upon the
city. The fact that the same phe-
nomenon was witnessed In Pough-
keepsie, in Hartford, and in Boston
would alone suffice to dispose of
that theory, even if there were not
other objections to it. But the or
dinary phenomena of sunset are
well understood, and it is evident
that some very unsual condition OF
things must have existed in the at
mosphere to produce the appear
ances that were witnessed. Cirrus
clouds floating at an enormous height
sometimes greatly prolong the visi-
bility of the sunset colors, but if the
red glow of Tuesday night was
caused by reflective matter in the
upper portion of the atmosphere,
that matter must have been at a
greater height than clouds are
known to reach.
The suggestion that itmight have
been meteoric dust is at least an in
teresting one. The atmosphere for
several days has presented a. more
or less hazy appearance, and during
the last four or five weeks meteors
in unusual numbers have been seen
both in this country and England.
The earth has also only recently
passed across the track of the No
vember meteors. That meteoric
dust may be found at a height very
much greater than that which the
lightest clouds ever reach is appar-
ent when we consider that most
meteors are consumed a hundred
miles or more above the surface of
the earth, and the products of their
combustion find their way slowly
down through the atmosphere. 1t
is not possible, also, that the earth,
in its journey through space, some
times encounters meteOric matter
which is already in the condition of
dust, and which slowly filters down
through the air.
Whatever the cause may be, there
have certainly been some most sur
prising atmospheric phenomena in
the last two or three months in sew
eral quarters of the globe. India,
Ceylon, and South America have
been treated to the specta-
Gle of a green sun anda green moon,
and now in more northern countries
we are having the evening skies set
afame with strange reflections. The
inhabitants of the earth sometimes
behold marvellous sights in their
travels through the universe under
the guidance of the journeying sun.

Tuesday evening was in part repeat
ed last evening but in. a much less

lasted a much shorter time. The
red glow did not entirely disappear
from the western heavens on Tues
day until about an hour and half
after sunset. 1t is a singular fact,
considering the extraordinary ma
ture of the phenomenon, that on the
evening of November 9th a similar
appearance was seen after sunset in
Surrey, England. On that occasion
the atmospheric glow lasted an hour

city, about II years old, has COM
pletely captivated married gentle
man by the use of a rabbits foot,
supposed to be. from the left hind
leg. 1t is related by his wife that
he is completely under the girls
control. Some few weeks ago the
girl ordered him to get her a gold
ring, which he obeyed promptly.
Through stratagem the gentleman s
wife found that he had given the
sweet damsel the ring, and Of
course, like others of her sex, de-
manded an explanation, and he
gave as an excuse that the girl had
rubbed the left hind leg of an Ala
bama graveyard rabbit foot on him
and had him completely under her
control The gentleman thinks he
is conjured. He was looking for a

A few days ago a bloody tragedy
was enacted at Livingston, Ala,
which was attended with fatal re-
suits. Barretts circus was exhibit
ing in the town, and the usual gang
of fakirs and thugs was ofcourse at
hand. During the evening a squad
of the rufiians entered the telegraph
office and made bold attempt to
rob the safe. The operator, Hardy
Short, resisted and was knocked
down and robbed of his watch, pis-
tol and pocketbook. The Marshal
was summoned and attempted to
arrest the thieves, but they made
stout resistance and in the melee
which followed one of the fakirs
was shot and killed, another was
wounded and the Marshal, James
Trout, was struck on the head with
a coupling pin and almost fatally
injured. There were no arrests.

A DRY GOODS MERCHANTS SUCCESSFUL
SCHEME FOR LAYING IN A PULL
~ STOCK OF CLERKS.
R. K Munkitrick in Puck.
But there is another scheme for
getting cheap clerks that the dry
goods merchant essays, generally
with great success.
1t is this:
A young man enters the store,
and asks for something to do. The
employer wrinkles his. forehead,
works his eyebrows down on his
nose to give him the appearance of
being capable of profound thought,
and says: In 50
$50 you want work?"
"Yes." t#st
"Well, we are full at present.
How much do you expect ?''
"Ten dollars a week"
"Ten dollars a weekl-S10 a
week replies the merchant, snatch
ing the young mans sentence and
hurting it back at him like a brick.
eyes, sir" says the young man !;
"S10 a week.
Then the merchant lies back in
the chair and regards the young
man with patronizing air.
eve never give such salary to
young, fresh and inexperienced
men. we can get men of so, with
years of experience for the sum you
ask. We have no use for boys, be-
cause they are wild and more both
er than they are worth. What we
want are men of years and expert
ence. We will give you 81 per
week" st,t.
The young man accepts and goes
to work. Then a man of about so
walks in and solicits employment.
The merchant lies back in his chair
SO far that, if he. happens to be cor
pulent, he reminds one of the terra
pin stretched out in front of res
taurant, with a placard on his un-
der shell informing the pedestrian
when he is to be served up. Then
the merchant says, as he did to the
young man:
$50 you want work? p
eyes"
"Well, we are full at present.
How much do you want ?"
"Ten dollars week.
"Ten dollars week !" says the
merchant, in a tone that shows tnat
he is in a condition bordering on
asphyxia.
ayes, sir" responds the old man,
$50 per week.
Then the merchant lies back in
his chair so far that he barely es-
capes going all the way over and
sliding along on the floor on his
spine.
eve never give such a large sal
ary to old men, because they are
slow and decrepit, and in their own
way. We don't care for old men,
because they have old ideas and are
way behind the times. For the
sum you ask we can get bright
young men with the light of the
morning of life in their faces. They
have new ideas, and are full of vim,
and can work five times harder and
longer than the fossils who base
their claims on an experience that
might have been valuable in 1910.
What we want are live young men.
We will give you 50 per week"
The old man accepts. And this
is the way the merchant plays De
cember off against May, and May
off against December.

The affiction known as softening
of the brain is now very common
and seems to be spreading. The
patient has feverish pulse, weak
respiration and runs to outIandish
style of dress, supposed to be of
English origin. A cane handle is
the only diet he cares for, though a
cigarette is now and then desired
by way of variety. Medicine does
no good, but striking the patient a
hard blow with feather will often
cure if it don't kill, and in either
case the change is for the better.
