An American Prophecy on En-
glands Future.

The american (Philadclphia) writes:
The anuextion of Ireland by the
most proiligate exercise of base intlu-
ences. and the conquest OF India by the
sword, may have seemed the means to
consolidate and strengthen the coun-
try. They have proved the reverse.
For India's sake the English have
plunged into one unjust war in Egypt
and another in the Soudan. For India's
sake they have been trembling on the
verge of war with the great empire
of the Slavs and TartarS. For ludia's
they have been obliged to abdicate
their just position in Europe, and to
count as cipher in the politics of the
continent, where, 20 years ago, they
held the first place. And into how
MANY moro perpleXitics their Indian
possessions viii carry them, it is i'm
possible TO foresee. In the case Of
Ireland the Nemesis ior the pastsins is
still more visible. The Union intro
duced into the Imperial Parliament 105
members, who are and always have
been an alien and disturbing element
there. These men could not do justice
to their constituencies without making
8 disturbance in London. They can
not better their constituencies than by
seeing TO it that the disturbance is as
extensive and rs offensive as possible.
The Irish people have no interest IN
the maintenance Of the House Of Com
mons; their one hope is to be forever
rid of all connection with it. So long
as they are forced to send their men,
bers to London, instead of meeting in
Dublin, they are well content to have
these members regarded as nuisance.
And in the last five years this has been
done so efectually that the English are
beginning to see that the Treaty of the
Union was gigantic mistake. Ireland
is like the Scotch fairy, who cannot be
brought into the House except by the
exercise of sheer focce, and who. when
once in it, viii shake it TO its very
foundations before she is done. a
House of Commons with 103 Irish
members, mostly followers of Mr. Par
nell, is beginning to be seen to be an
impossibility in practical politics.
Hence the frank suggestion Of some
English Tories that Ireland be disfrar-
chised. That would be one way of SET
ting rid OF the difficulty, but it is not
one that England dares take. 1t would
put an eud to the Treaty of Union
which expressly stipuiates for the 1o5
members. The other way out Of the
difficulty is :. frank Repeal of the
Union. Ii that be done without any
appeal to arms on the Irish side, the
effect on the temper OF the people will
be most beneficial. 1t is to be done as
s. concession to threats when England
is in some great peril, like that OF
century ago, then England viii have a
permanent and dangerous enemy. If
it be done rs the outcome OF an Irish
uprising when England is in peril, the
danger will be still more immediate.
And before this generation has passed
away, it viii be done after some OF
these fashions.

Hon. James G. Blaine.

In his work Twenty Years of Con-
gress," page 496, says: "The tide OF
invasion had been rolled back after the
bloodiest and most stubbornly-con-
tested field of the war. The numbers
on each side differed but little from
the numbers engaged at Waterloo, and
the tenacisy with which the soldiers OF
the British isles stood that day against
the hosts Of Napoleon, was riTalled on
the field Of Gettysburg by men OF the
same blood fighting in the ranks OF
both armies.
Yes, too true it is, that an 1rishman,
commanding thousands of other Irish
zen, fought on the field OF Waterloo
for the honor and glory Of their op-
pressor. 1t is also true that IN the
ranks of the Confederate army at Get
tysburg many an exile from the old
land fought for the ''Stars and Bars,
bpt careful examination of the rolls
of the onion forces engaged in the
three days struggle shows that about
ta0easty-three per cent, or IN round
numbers, 2O,7O0 Of the heroes Of Get
tysburg were of Irish birth, or traced
their descent directly from Irish ances-
tors. The Irish-Americans who fought
on the Confederate side had made their
homes in the South. They did
wrong in battling for cause having
for its object the dissolution OF this
glorious Union, this ayslum Of the OPP
pressed of all nations, but who will
question the honesty and purity of the
motives of Gen. Patrick Cleburne, one
of the most gifted men in the South,
and others who thought as he did, and
fought bravely for the '.lost cause?

Why should the world be worried

existing threat against public order and
private property be thus brought within
much more comfortable limits p
There should be an international agree
ment against the anarchists who make
war on society with explosives. They
are no better than assassins, and deserve
capital punishment. Generally they are
a worthless set who have failed of success
through Incidence, thriftlessness and sell.

Taking Cold.

Dr. Graham, celebrated London ply
siclan, has recently been talking very
plainly upon the subject of colds 1t is
generally supposed that it is exposure to
cold or wet atmosphere which produces
the effect called cold, whereas, according
to DR.. Graham, it is returning to warm
temperature after exposure which is the
real cause of the evil. When a person
in the cold weather goes into the open
air, every time he draws in his breath
the cold air passes through his nostrils
and windpipe into his lungs, and conse
quently diminishes the heat of those
parts. AS long as the person continues
In the open air he feels no bad effects
from 1t but, as soon as he returns home,
he approaches the fire to warm himself.
and very often takes some warm and
comfortable drink to keep out the cold,
as it is said. The inevitable consequence
is that he will find that he has taken cold.
He feels a shivering that makes him draw
nearer the fire, but all to no purpose
the more he tries to heat himself, the
more he chills. All the mischief is here
caused by the violent action OF the heat
To avoid this, when you come out of a
very cold atmosphere you should not at
first go into room that has a fire in it.
or if you cannot avoid that, you should
keep for considerable time at as great
distance as possible, and, above all re.
frain from taking warm or strong liquors
when you are cold. This rule is founded
on the same rule as the treatment of any
part of the body when frost bitten. It it
were brought to the fire it would soon
mortify, whereas, if rubbed with snow
no bad consequences follow from it
Hence the frequent colds we experience
in winter would in great measure be
prevented if the following rule were
strictly observed when the whole body
or any part of it is chilled, bring it to it.

The London Car Company and
the Sabbath

The Pail Mall Gazette says: The Lon
don Road Car Company has once more
proved that Sabbatarianism is sound eco
nomical policy. Last year they deter
mined to discontinue Sunday traffic, and
the chairman states that there has been
very remarkable improvement in the
value of their property. The traffic re-
ceipts have gone up nearly thousand
pounds over those of the previous year,
although they ran six days as against
seven, and the value of their stud of
horses had increased 20 per cent owing
to the discontinuance of Sunday traffic,
to improved feeding, and the wedding
out of useless horses. Whatever may be
said concerning Sunday keeping, the fact
that neither horse nor man should work
more than six days in seven is great
economical truth which can never be
violated without mourning in the long
run financial loss.
Facts like these ought to make an impression
on our railway mana gers, and convince them
that the Christian Sabbath is an ordinance of
God calculated to promote the welfare of both
employers and employ6es.-EDs CEN Pres

A Shrewd Device.

The Greboes, near Cape Palmas on the
west coast OF Africa, have a queer way
of settling difficulties. When one man
strikes another, he does not strike back,
no matter how large and strong he may
be, but runs to the town, hallooing at the
top of his voice, and killing every eata-
BILE animal he may meet, until his feel
ings are satisfied. He is followed by all
the people near, who gather up his VIC
Tins, and carry them to the "Palava"
house, where they prepare grand feast
for all the inhabitants. and have grand
time. After the feast, the parties whose
animals have been killed present their
claims for damages; and the person who
struck the first blow is compelled to sat-
isfy them. If he is poor, his next of kin
is compelled to hel him; and then the
next, until the claims are all paid, or the
relatives of the offender all bankrupt.
By this shrewd device, order is main
tanned and the relatives of every per-
son are made to keep a close watch over
his conduct for which they are response

carriers OF West Africa, known generally
as KrOoS; and they are usually indus
trious, peaceable, and honest. Without
them the commerce of the West African
coast would be carried on with great diff
