Attention has lately been drawn to
disease met in Siberia, known to the
Russians by the name of 'Miryachit"
The person affected seems compelled
to initiate anything he hears or sees
and an interesting account is given Of
a steward, who was reduced to per-
feet state Of misery by his inability to
avoid initiating everything he heard or
saw. One day the captain Of the
steamer, running up to him, suddenly

What the Irish World"
Thought of Blaine.
From the Irish World of March II, 1882.

| rum llS lIlru NOIlu Ol MhlCU II, 1857.
Ex-Secretsry Blaine is announced to
speak in St. Louis, at a banquet given by
the Knights Of ST. Patrick, on the evening
of the 18th of March A more unfit seec
ton could hardly be made, as it is.an insult
to the intelligence of sef-respecting Irish
| Americans to ask them to listen on St. Pat
rick's Day to man who refused to stir a
finger to release from British dungeons
American citizens of Irish descent illegally
arrested, although at the time it was his
duty 10 see that these citizens were either
accorded trial by jury or released from
prison.
Mr.. Blaine is reported as having Presi-
Dental aspirations. He sees no chance of
getting nomination from the Republican
party, and it is said that he is determined
to run on an Independent ticket. AS Mr.
Blaine is thorough demagogue he thinks,
perhaps, that he may succeed in winning
some Irish American votes by figuring as
one of the orators at st. Patrick's ban
quet. He forgets that his presence at such
meeting after what he has done is an
insult to every intelligent Irshman present.
Does he for moment suppose that
American citizens, with Irish blood in
their veins, will ever forget that when he
was Secretary Of State he allowed Ameri-
can citizens residing in Ireland to be ar
rested and imprisoned on mere suspicion,
without his calling the British Government
to account for this violation of information
al law, as he was liz duty bound to dol
The other day, in his eulogy on the late
President Garfield, Blaine gave us as rea-
son why he acted in this way when going
out of his way to eulogize Gladstone he
said: zone is reminded of that great
English statesman of to-day, who, con-
fronted with obstacles that would daunt
any but the dauntless, reviled by those he
would relieve as bitterly as by those whose
supposed rights he is forced to invade, still
labors with supreme courage for the amel-
loration of Ireland and for the honor of the
English name"
Not to add to the obstacles of this "great
English statesman our pro-British ex-
Secretary of State, whilst in office, allowed
American citizens to be arrested and i'm.
prsoned without trial. We can under
stand how this conduct would entitle him
to hearty reception at gathering Of
Anglo-Americans--as, for instance, at q
meeting of the Society Of St. George-bu,
what claims it has upon the admiration OF
the Knights of st. Patrick passes our I'm.
