she was not; but the memorable law

A Told by Mr.. James.


The ex-Postmaster General produced q
printed statement of star route investigation
and the alleged frauds brought to his notice by
Senator George Spencer. Before. the witness
WAS made Postmaster General he was called to
Washington by Whitelaw Reid. Together they
called upon the President. James was then In

to the notice OF witness. he said he expected
ton, he found any persons guilty. they would
be turned over TO the Department OF Justice.
Witness proposed to call Mr.. Woodward into
the inquiry, and this met the approval OF the
President. John Swinton, one OF the editors Of
tho New York Sun, suggested the name OF A. M.
Gibson as Inspector. and he was accepted and
put to work.
Here witness entered into q lengthy narrative
of the details of the work OF Gibson and Wood
ward, all Of which are familiar 10 the country.
Witness suggested to the President that civil
suits be first Instituted against the accused. The
President thought criminal suits should be be-
gun. The Attorney General warned the Presi-
dent that criminal suits might strike men in
high official position and turn the political tide
TO the Democrats. Witness said Dorsey called
on him to denounce Gen. Brady, and demanded
removal to the President, who took the
matter under adyisement. After concluding
that Brady resignation would not be demanded.
the President reconsidered, consented to 1t, and
witness asked for 1t. Brady Immediately handed
itin. Then Dorsey began to hedge. He cringed
and crawled and his brazen etirontery dls8p-
peared In his pleas for clemency.
The story of Rerdells confession re-
hearsed, and was directed especially at the al
legged "deplorable character" Dorsey. Witness
related that upon visiting the President with
William A. Cook he found Dorsey and Attor-
ney Ingersoll in conversation. Cook warned
the President that something awful" was about
to happen. James said that Bliss, Gibson,

AN able article on Henry Irving" is
contributed to the March Century by
J. Ranken Towse, who says apropos of
the fact that most of the actors who saw
Irving as Louis XI. pronounced the
impersonation q masterpiece: Now
actors, as a rule, are not good critics,
inasmuch as their professional habit
leads them to study the mechanical
rather than the imaginative or creative
powers of the performer. They are
apt to estimate work, not by the soul
which animates it, but by the executive
detail which gives il good surface
finish. When the business is minute
and neat, the grouping varied and eff
fective, the exits and entrances pictur-
esque, and the meaning of every line
illustrated by q great wealth of intricate
gesture, their ideal Of dramatic express
sion is satisfied. Inspiration is quail

THE Athlone woolen-mills expert
ment IN Ireland has proved successful.
A quay 800 feet long, built ont to the
deep waters of the Shannon, gives ex-
oellent facilities for shipment. Cheap
turf fuel is obtained from the boys adj
joining, giving help to poor farmers,
who deliver it for IA cents O ton of
twenty cubic feet. On the quay stands
the mill, filled with the most improved
machinery and large wool storehouse.
The wool is taken in for twenty miles
round. There is good home trade,
and many cases are sent to this country
and Canada. The goods are said to
have bright, clear appearance, given
them by the peculiar purity of the
Shannon water. The effect is that
house property is at a premium, mar
kets are large and increasing, and
scarcely an idle hand is to be seen.

PUBLISHED tables show that out OF
1873 mines whose stocks are listed at
the New York Exchange only nineteen
paid dividends in 1883, and the divi-
dends amounted tc S4,145,0 900. Less
than one-third of the sixty commonly
classed as "dividend-paying" appear to
have paid dividends last year. But it
is not to be inferred that the production
of gold or of silver decreased in any
such ratio. On the contrary, Mr.. Val
entine's annual statement shows that
the product of mines in this country,
west of the Mississippi, was SS4, 639, 2l2,
against about $50, 0OO,O 900 during the
previous year, and about 800, 600, 900 in
the most productive year in the entire
period covered by the Wells-Fargo re-
ports. The explanation is that the
mines which really produce the most
gold and silver are not, as O rule, those
whose owners make haste to have
stocks listed for sale.
