ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
Mr. ParneIl Condemns the Conduct
OF the Government Toward the
UvIat.


In accordance with previous announcements,
Mr.. Parnell moved In the House OF Commons
yesterday an amendment to tho address In re.
ply to tho Queens speech. Tho amendment
severely condemns tho policy OF the Govern.
ment In ireland, asserting that II has failed to
tranquilize the people, has wantonly prohibit.
ed public meetings and interfered with the
freedom OF speech, and has permitted magls-
trates publicly to applaud the conduct OF Lord
Rossmore, who had been superseded rs Justice
Of the peace for disturbing public order
and melting ill-will and strife between
the different classes OF Ireland.
Tho amendment further demands the imme
diate abandonment OF the policy of stlmula-
/ ting stato,aided emigration OF the Irish. In
the course of tho remarks with which he &C
companied his motion, Mr.. Parnell asserted
that the recent visit OF Sir Stafford Northcote
10 ireland had been an exciting cause OF civil
dirturbance. The orange outrages wero, In
his opinion, a grave misfortune to tho Con-
servatiyes whom Sir Stafford Northcote had
dragged at the heels OF discredited Irish
faction. He denounced In strong terms the
oratory OF the orange platform during the re-
cent attempt to Introduce the National League
into Ulster.

AN ALLEGED NUISANCE
I'm the Immediate Vicinity of the
Police Court Building.

A correspondent, who resides in the neigh.
borhood OF the Police Court, writes TO com.
plain OF the scenes transacted In that vicinity.
He writes:
''Every day there is enacted In front OF this
building a scene which Is positively disgust
ing. AS soon ae the van Is seen approaching
to take away the filthy candidates for tho jail
black and white, with occasionally q sprluk.
ling OF Chinese, assemblies In the viclnlty, and
by the time the 'boarders' are ready to take
their carriage for their respective boarding
houses, the carriage-way and sidewalk are
filled with this filthy crowd, rendering the
street utterly impassable, not only to ladies,
but to every man who has the fear OF some
thing else besides God before his eyes. The
frantic effort OF the fat policeman to clear the
street is about as successful as that OF the man
who attempted to drive away the flies around
sugar barrel by saying shoe TO them. The
fies remain, and so does the mob"

To those who, through trusting, nave grown
TO the fullness of love In conteniment.
But am alone.
call you, my darling, my darling,
My voice echoes back on my heart;
stretch my arms TO you IN longing,
And lol they fall empty apart.
whisper the sweet words you taught mo,
The words that we only have known,
TIL the blank OF the dumb air Is bitter,
For lam alone.
need you, my darling, my darling,

Old sorrows rise up 10 beset me,
Old doubts make my spirit their own;
Obi come thr0' tho darkness and save me,

Grace Greenwood, writing from Paris,
says that the average American dress
maker is more clever than the women
ofthat calling in France.
The tides and table scarfs and lambre-
quins crocheted of macrame or fish cord
are very much improved in appearance
if, after they are done, but before the
with a hot IRON. Lay a damp cloth over
the wrong side of the work, and press
hard and dry with the iron.
The latest fashion in feminine gear is
known as the ''coxcomb bow" which
can be worn at the throat, on the skirts
of dresses and even on the bonnets. 1t
is q Tainbow-like affair, made of narrow
ribbon, with a dozen loops and ends OF
every color imaginable, the ends having
what is known as the ''fsh-tail cut" so
called from the manner in which they
are notched.
Tides made of antique lace can be
worked satisfactorily if soaked in borax
water; then let them lie in warm suds,
squeezing them with your hands: rinse,
but do not blue them. Instead of ironing
them, pull in shape, and pin them to a
clean cloth on your ironing board; pick
out each little point and PIN it down.
Let them get perfectly dry before re.
moving them.
Bed sores may be prevented by the
following precautions: Keep the sheet
below the patient perfectly smooth;
wash the parts where the bone is promi-
nent daily with soap and warm water,
dry them well, rub them over with a lit
tie spirits of wine or whisky to harden
frequently; never let him lie on a blank.
