DepOpulated Ireland.


 The Irish papers are discussing the recent census returns in bitter spirit. The Dublin Nation has an article en- titled "Bleeding to Death" in which it says: ''The life blood of Ireland is being drained by vampires. Every one who has an interest in the country must gird his Joins against this murderous union. The extermination of the Irish people has long been the traditional aim of the English rulers. The present Executives will Is set on actively promoting the murderous system which has already robbed the country of five or six millions of people"
 The United Ireland devotes an article to the same subject, which it entities "Killing Nation by Inches. !" It says: "For all practical purposes Ireland is suffering a more awful drain of manhood than if engaged in a deadly conflict with 8 first class European power. She has lost since the Union more men than France lost in all the sanguinary wars of Napoleon. At least eight millions of people have been i'm moIated in eighty years to the demon of English supremacy. Three millions of people whose brawny frames supplied the physical force of the repeal meetings were missing in 1852 when the census enumerators came to count them. Two million nine hundred and thirteen thou sand of the population who were spared by famine have been starved or trans ported since. The waste goes on faster and more furiously. Within the last year alone Ireland lost 10S,000 em- igrants, Fl ,00O of whom were single adults. She lost in mere thews and muscles more valued sons than were slain in any of the greatest battles of the world"

TAMANIEB TAKEN.
The Village Burned by the British and the Rebels Put to FIiRht-A Victory Easily Won.

General Graham telegraphed from Egypt to the following effect: Wednes- day evening and night were cool. Rev ellie was sounded Thursday morning at 3:3O, and as quickly as possible the troops were got in readiness to advance on Tamanieb. The cavalry are in front; the infantry follow in echelon of brigade squares with the guns between the brigade.
 A later dispatch says: "The British advanced to Tamanieb and burned the village. The Arabs fled and the fighting Is ended"
 The British forces began to advance on Tamanieb at five o'clock ill the morn ing. The firing opened at half-past seven and was brisk on both sides. The rebels were in large numbers. The English cavalry and mounted infantry led the attack and drove the rebels from the rocks, dispensing them among the hills. There were no British casualties.

Marvellous Cure of Stone in the Bladder
 Large GtOnen Removed by "Ken-
 nedy's Fav rite Remedy"
 From the PittSIeId CAdss.) Ea0le.
 Stone in the Bladderis e very dangerous ail- ment; but many most remarkable cures have of late been wrought by "Kennedy's Favorite Reme- dyS-the invention oi Dr. Kennedy of Rom dout, N. Y. Another striking is now added to the list. Mir. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, states in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for II years, sians, but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January Mir. Lawer called on Dr. Ken pedy. Sounding him, the doctor struck stone" He decided that Mir. Lawler should first try the "Favorite Remedy" so as, if possible, to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable result: "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones I will send them to you" This letter bears date "Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed "Peter Lawler." The stones, which so large as to war rant for "Kennsdy's Favorite Remedy the claim that itis the most successful specific for Stone yet discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedys possession. Incidentally MT. Lawer also states that the "Fav. orite Remedy" at the same time cured him of stubborn case of Rheumatism and it is a fact that tn all affections arising out of disorder of the liver urinary organs it is searching remedy and works marvellous benefits It is in itself almost medicine chest.

Kissing in England.

Kissing in England was certainly
known and practiced in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries and practiced
with an easy familiarity which shows that
the custom was general Indeed, so gen.
eral was the use of the kiss that it was
as usual as the bow A gentleman taking
a lady to her seat from the dance invari-
ably kissed her, and if he had not would
have been voted very badly bred fellow.
How much older English kisses were
is not very clear. Suffice it to say that
the custom has outlived to our day,
though fashionable and general games,
in which kissing formed prominent
part, are now becoming rarer than they
were quarter of century ago.
The literature of kisses is curious. /
There is a story retailed in the Broad
Stone of Honor of an English knight
riding through France to the Field of
the Cloth of Gold His horse cast shoe
at a certain village, and the Seigneur
whereof had departed to the same rem
devious, but the Seigneur's lady hospita
bly, entertained the traveller. She came
out of her castle attended by twelve dam
sells fair to see; ''and," said the dame,
'forasmuch as ye have in England such
custom as that man may kiss wo-
man, therefore will that ye kiss me, and
We shall also kiss all these my maidens, p"
which thing the knight straightway did
and rejoiced greatly thereat
The quaintness of the last phrase un-
doubtedly indicates the young mans
feelings at the salute with considerable
exactitude.
In Africa and other parts of the world
outside the circle civilization kissing
is as yet an unknown art.
An African traveller once offered a kiss
under favorable circumstances to a young
lady of king Mumbo Jumbo's court, but
she recoiied in great alarm, observing
that she was mot yet worthy to be

Appearances are DeceitruI.

Bijah's last prisoner out answered to
the name of Scott, and he was such a
benevolent looking bald-headed OLD chap
that everybody expected his arrest would
turn out to be mistake. He smiled and
rubbed his hands together, and bowed
and nodded and finally remarked that it
vas fine morning.
The sound of his voice acted like
magic Four different persons came
forward from the audience as plaintiffs
and witnesses, and they shot off their
voices as follows;
''He is the man who broke me head |"
"He's the feller as give me this black
eye"
"He's terror"
'He pulled me hair until me scalp is
lo0sc!"
Judge" whispered the prisoner, in
voice full Of new maple sugar, there's

"He's the mani" yelled the four plain,

"Y-yes, l think SO. y
Don't you know you did,"
''Tm not exactly sure, sir. / brought
in chap for cleaning out saloon, but
he didn't look like this man."
Prisoner, what were you arrested
for?"
"For praying on the streets, sir" was
the solemn reply.
No officer could be found who had
made any such arrest, and his honor was
about to discharge Mr.. Scott when Bijah
disappeared into the corridor for min
ute and returned with a handful of
~hiskers. Mr. Scott had cut of his
Burnsides to disguise himself. and on
the bench in his cell was found set of
false teeth for his upper jaw. His sandy
eyebrows had been bIackened with coal,
and the facial disguise was almost com
plete.
II shall give you three months, sir!"
said his honor, as the truth was revealed,
and Mr. Scott's benevolent expression
vanished like streak of lightning as he
was led away.--Detr0it Free Press.

Pitch Springs,

Ia sEferent parts of the world we find

lndcAl, there are several of the ponds,
but tie largest of them is about seventy
feet ,uare, and twelve feet deep. The
mode Of procuring the pitch is the fol-
lowi4I,: They take a pole, and push it
into s.le water with myrtle branch at
the ED, and on pulling it up they find
the pCch adhering to it, which in smell
is lika asphaltus, but of better quality
than ne common pine pitch. They col
lect ttis pitch in kind of vat or recepta-
Gle which they have dug near the pond,
and when the quantity is considerable
they aut it in large jars or barrels. If
any 7 tch drops from the branch into the
pond. it goes under the ground and ap-

ponds are described as being now of

turbances of earthquakes, it is possible
that many physical changes may have
taken place since the Greek traveller saw
