Mr. Parnell's Dilemma.

Two thousand infantry, says a cable dispatch, are to protect the pubhc bulld- iDgs in London; ;Coldstream Guards will be on duty before Buckingham Palace; the city Is begInnlng to wear an aspect of siege. All accounts agree that the English feeling against ITishmen has never been SO bitter; Irish labOrers are thrown out of employment; mills and factories are closed against them. lrlsh agitatOrs may consider that these are incidents inseparsble from their cam paign; something must be suffered that much may be gained. But the con science of hostile nation Is not to be shaken with dynamite.
 Mr. Parnell Is meditating a new line of action. He WAS beaten on his amend ments to the Land act; he was deserted by many of his followers in the scrim- mage with Mir. Forster; be sees that the time has come for a fresh start. In which direction shall he go? He stands at the crossroads. From one side the masked assassins of Dublin beckOn to hlm; from the other the ghost of OCOn- nell calls him to a blOOdless agitation. His difficulties are great. Hs knows that the shOtguns and explosives serve to make Irish grievances noisy in British ears; and he knows, too, that they cause a nation to set it's teeth and swear that no more reforms shall be granted To sympathize with the party of violence would be abhOrrent to his nature; to repudIate 1t might be to ahenate a ser viceable ally.
 If Mir. Parnell Is to retain his suprem- acy he must lose no time in declaring his policy. The hour has gone for shIl- y-shally and subterfuges. The House of Commons has made 1t manifest that 1t will do no more for Ireland, and If the Irish leader is stlll determined Co fight he has the choice of weapons and should exercise his privilege without delay.

Mining With Lime.

The new method of mining coal by breaking down with compressed lime. which was first spoken of last summer, has now passed beyond the the experi- mental stage. and its utility has been demonstrated beyond question. The operation consists in drilling shot-hOles in the roof of the coal, into winch car tridges of specially prepared limestone are introduced. By forcing water on to the limestone steam Is generated, and thIs, with the explosive force of the lime, completes the work of disintergra- tion. The advantages of this method of coal mining are that the risk and danger which inevitably accompany the use of gunpowder or dynamite are abolished and that the coal IS obtained in large masses, thus saving the waste incurred by blasting with explosives. As Is well known, coal, when broken small, IS de- teriOrated in usefulness and price byu ward of forty per cent, but much of this waste Is saved under the new system, as a much greater proportion of the pro- duet IS large" coal. Where the miners are paid according to the large coal they mine the new invention will increase their income without altering the rate of wages. It IS thus an invention that Is likely to produce good results, nechan- Ical and social.

4 COpal Forest.
New York Tribune.


 The British Consul at Mozambique has reported the discovery of a consider able tract of copal forest. The forest IS fully 2OO miles long. IL is a belt which runs parallel with the coast, and IS mid way between the coast and the first range of mountains. From Inhambane it IS nearly 100 miles to get right into it. This distance Is a little great, and may retard it's being opened upon, but it's discovery adds to the known wealth of it's district. "The native name of this gum says the Counsel, ''is Stakate' and 'Staka' The Zulu name for gum IS Inthlaka.' The name 'Stacte' mention ed ID Exodus xxx. 3i (this Is believed to be the gum of the Storurs tree, Styrax OfficInale,) would be pronounced as the above native name. The tree dOmineers over all, and standing in any place over looking the forest, you see here and there trees growing as 1t were in n hay field. The gum has beautiful OdOr If pounded and burned, also if boiled in a pot of water The ordinary gum cOpal tree of the mainland of Zanzibar and though as a rule lofty, Is by no means of the striking stature here indicated.

IT is astonishing how sinful are some people, whom we usually believe to be honest. But people are not usually in the habit of telling the world the enormity of their crimes, yet 1t seems that Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has made clean breast in his case and told of all in fact the only great sin he ever committed. Ills congregation were much astonished few days ago, when he stated that while he WAS in the firstings of his years he was a son of darkness: he stated that he had been once thief! There was a sensation in the audience, who had about made up their minds that MT. Bsecher was not telling the truth-the first time they had ever doubted him. Although a hundred preserve closets would not tempt him at all, there was time when one closet was big temptation to him. He could remember, he was compelled to confess, that once, "when he vas small, he invaded the sanctity of the preserve closet; his mother caught himin the act, and promptly shut him in dark closet as a punishment" "I went into the closet to repent" says Mir. Beech CT "but unfortunately my mother had left some doughnuts in that closet, and my repentance was postponed" Now Mir. Beecher has told us of the darkest page of his history, his. modesty should not prevent him from laying some of bis yir.uous acts before the world. While he may have no living witness who caught him in his virtuous acts, as his mother caught him in the net of the great sin of his ife--stealing preserves yet we have no doubt if Mir. Beecher will make a clean breast of his virtues, the world will believe him; but whether the world believes him or not, he can de- pend upon the unqualified belief and support of his own Plymouth church people, who would not believe their own eyes, in case they should see MT. Beech- CT in any act of sin.

Eli Perkins Down in Kentucky.

A "gentleman" Is a mysterious belng down iR Kentucky. I've often heard kentuckians say:
 By Cad, sah, I'm a gentleman" But l never knew what 1t meant tIll to-day. The clerk of the kentuckyhOtel met the passengers at the cars. He was solicit ing customers for the hotel. He was a ponderous man. and a handsome man, too, as are all hentuckians. He did not shout r1dely as the northern pOrters do:
 "Burnet house. Caruager
 Palmer hOusel Free busW
 He simply walked up Co you as If you were the guest of the city, and remark ed:
 "Ssh, I should be glad to show you to a hotel, sah, the nnest in the c1ty-the Palace, sahl I'm a gentleman, and I'll treat you right.
 hesitated a little about handing my pOrtmanteau tO a seedy-looking menial to carry, when the landlord said;
 "Let him carry 1t, sah. He's a gen'le- man. He'll take good care oft Perfect ly safe, sah.'
 "Yes," remarked the landlord as we walked up the hill, that man carrying your bag IS a gentleman, sah. Why, sah, he was once worth S200O00-had fifty niggers and 700 acres of the best blue grass in Kentucky
 What became of 1t, sir?" l asked.
 "Drank 1t all up. sah. Fast horses and fast women and whiskey got away with it, sah. And poker had heap to do with 1t too. That man lost S4,0OO and a 2:20 horse in one night. Oh, sab, he's got genlemanly instincts; he has, sure as your bon. He's poor and rag ged and dirty and blOsted all over with whiskey-a perfect wreck mentally, morally and physically, but he's gentleman, be won't steal your carpet bag" ELI PERKINS.

WHEN Mir. Teller came into office, he
 talked about disarming the Apaches:
 what he said was appropriate and to the
 point, and led the people to hope for
 aid from new quarter; for time our
 people really thought that Mir. Teller
 was going to dissrm the Indians. But
 what he told us a year ago has gradually
 passed from the minds of our people,
 because he did not practice what he
 preached. Juh's band went over to So- nora on a visit, and Mir. Teller forgot all about his project of disarming the h. dians until their return few days ago. He now says again that they should be disarmed, but 1t should be done grad ually and in such way as not to excite the Indians. The conditions upon which Mir. Teller would act, makes it an impossibility to disarm the Apaches. The only way the Apaches can be dis armed is by going to the Reservation with reasonable number of soldiers, call the scoundrels up and count them, see that they are all corralled, then take their arms away from them. The idea of disarming them by peacemeal is an impOssibIlity, and the moment they find out that i. is being done, they will withdraw from the Agency and put themselves in shape for an aggressive and sanguinary war at once. Force is the only power that can be used in deal ing with Indians. What is the use of talking about reason and moderation when the savages do not understand their meaning? Take the bull by the horns or keep out of the fight.

PIMA county Is rapidly coming to the front ss a bullion producer. Total Wreck continues to turn out silver bars with regularity and despatch; the Ome- ga copper mine is making regular ship msnts of copper bullion, and the owners inform us that It has a large amount of ore in sight. From what We can learn, the Omega company makes a better showing than any of the copper mines yet opened up in Pima county. Con- siderable copper ore IS being brought from Aio mines west of Gunsight. The Gunsight mill will be ready % start up soon, and its managers claim that it will be able to make regular shipments of silver bullion thereafter. Many of our citizens believe the time has come when reduction works will pay in Tucson. We shall make no rash promises as to what Pima county may do in the pro- duction of bullion, but it now looks Rs though the output for the present year will be considerable.

JUDGE JACKSON, of Louisville, Ky, has decided that intelligence-sufiicient learning to read newspaper, does not disqualify a man from acting as juror in his court. He says: II dou't intend to exclude intelligence from the jury box. The mere fact that a man had read newspaper accounts, and received certain impressions, does not render him incompetent This was the ruling of this court in time past, but we have lately become loose in this matter, and now intend to go back to first princi- ples and adiudicate decisions" We are of the impression that the Judge IS right. If the reading of newspaper article on a case so warps mans mlnd as to disqualify him from acting as juror, be IS not fit person to act in the capacity of juror at all.

\ Loving EaihPr.
From Letter from Burlington. Vt.

From Letter from Burlington. Vt.
 Senator Edmunds married daughter of Wyllis Lyman, and through her came into possession Of his house and grounds in this city. Up to last Summer the Senator's family consisted of a wife and two daughters, Mary and Julia, aged respectively 2S and - years. But last June the younger, to whom Mir. Edmunds was most tenderly devoted, dropped the little burden of her life and crossed the barren peaks that form the western bounds of life. The blow staggered the great Senator, as Q similar one has many another as loving but more humble father. From the moment she breathed her last to her burial he never left her, but took his rest and meals by her side. He filled her grave and would let no other hands but his own place the sod that covered her ~windowlsss palace of desth,' and remained at her grave until long after the sun had sunk behind the AdlrOnHacks on the western shore of Lake Champlain. After his Summers grIef he took his seat Tn the Senate, where he has been, and always will be while a member If it, a central figure.
