Some OF the Irishmen OF Nevada have Of
late been taking q lively interest in the
study Of their native tongue. Several
Comstock gentlemen, it is said, not only
have become quite fluent in the use Of this
branch Of the Gaelic, but are thoroughly
conversant with the grammar as well. "A
national Philo-Celtic Society has been
formed, Q meeting Of which will take place
at Brooklyn, N. Y, on the 9th of the pres
ent month. The exercises will in part be
conducted in Irish, and . fine Of as cents
will be imposed upon any member who
makes any error in pronunciation while
engaged in any public discussion. By this
society there is published q series Of three
grammars, the purpose Of which is to assist
the members in this self-improvement, and
for the preservation Of this, one Of the
prettiest Of the European tongues. Dis
tinguished writer's say that this surpasses
all the other Gaelic dialects in extent,
culture and the antiquity Of its monu-
ments. In 1851 the Irish language was
used exclusively by 319, O2Persons. With
in the last few years it has experienced q
great revival, not only in Ireland, but in
the United States. On Its native heath
it has become an elective study in those
national schools, and everywhere in this
country special societies are being formed
for the preservation of this lang uage Of
wonderful historical interest, and one held
sacred by every Irishman.

The nanger. of Mob Law.

The outcome Of the recent scandal al
Modesto, California, shows the danger Of
mob violence. A couple Of weeks ago,
when charges we're first made that . lawyer
named Robbins had been tsmpering with
q number Of young girls there, public in
dignation was 30 great, says an exchange,
that, had not the officers spirited the
accused away from the place. he would
have been lynched. Now public opinion
has almost entirely changed. A medical
examination Of the children alleged to have
been tempered with has proven the charges
to be groundless, and the mother Of the
girl who first made complaint against
Robbins has been held up TO scorn as a
would-be blackmailer-one who had used
her children for similar purposes in other
communities. The charges against Rob-
bins included other citizens, all of whom
came near being hanged by the indignant
populace. There Is now some talk of tar
ring and feathering the McCrellis crowd
and driving them out of town.

had sported the beauty for about 90

cocted a scheme to make him drop it. The
first one of them in the plot that met him
looked at the plum-hued tile and re-
marked: ''Give me a pup out of that hat,

tered him called his attention to q uni

pipe exactly like that jauntily worn by our

soon he would be taken for one Of the hack

without obtaining . satisfactory flow Of
fresh water. To sink this distance has
taken nearly two years. He said they had
lately passed through the gravel formation
which had given them so much trouble,

be done with but little difficulty. The
Central Pacific Railroad Company had
just given him orders to continue sinking
TO the depth Of $500 feet, or until he
should obtain the desired quality and fow
