cyDStSr rur r,ruIIS TRIALS


CERNiNG THE DUBLIN TRIALS.
LONDON. Feb % 3-Justin Mccarthy asked Mr.
Trcyelyan III the House of Commons tins evening,
in view of certain recent trials in Dublin. to Wi H.
draw the expression he had used concerning them,
that they were cases made by person who was
trumping up charges" least so far a. the remark
might refer to William OBrien, Editor OF United
Ir,lqnd and Home Rule Member for Mallow. and
plaintiff in most Of the cases.
Mr. Ircvelyan denied that when he used the cx-
preston he referred to Mr. O'Bren, but To Detec-
tive Mcikle-John, who. after having been dis
charged from Scotland Yard was employed to work
up material for the cases referred to. Mr. lreveyan
had used the expression to protect himself
and Earl Spencer, the viceroy, from the danger
they were in. He knew that attempts were being
made to blacken their characters. For instance,
agent of a secret inquiry agency had recently WIS.,
tied woman of immoral character and by impro-
per means obtained letters signed with fictitious
names and sent them to Dublin. This agent car
red pocket photographs of Trcvo!yan, and asked
the woman if she did not recognize them rs por-
traits of an acquaintance. When the woman said
that she did not, the agent asked her to recall mat
answer, and told her that it would be worth money
TO her If she did recognize tho pictures those OF
an acquaintance.
At this point of Mr. Trevelyan's narrative
the whole house rOared with laughter.

The substitution of the Hebrew

The substitution of the Hebrew word "sheol" for hell in the revis' ions of the Old Testament is a time- ly and fortunate idea. It's value as a euphemism can hardly be ex- aserated There is no doubt that it's general acceptance will precede that of any other change made by the revisors. Hereafter it will be pos sible for a pious mpgwump, as he casts his eye over the list of the presidents appointments, to ex- press his real feelings without re- tlring to the wood-shed. --Brook'

- BeaHtif'y Your Home.


 1 There is one sad feature in tho nomakic character now already be come inborn to Americans. While their wandering disposition teaches them cosmopolitanism. keeps at distance from them mar. rowness and self -envelopment, yet this evil arises from it. which may oOunterbalance and even over throw the good; that is, the neglect of the dwelling place, the death of the tender sympathies and the nur- turing care that ought to dwell around and beautify home. So sacred to our mind is the idea of paternal mansion, of family homo, that it's existence seems to us nee essary to the development of true nobility. To the right thinking man his fathers dwelling house will be so sacred as to stem all evil actions, to check every step that lead to shame and instill into him a noble ambition to bear on his shoulders the honor, aud in his heart the integri ty that his father bore before him. The destruction or the decay of the dwelling place around which cluster all the sweet m eEories of pure, innocent and susceptible childhood, throws sadness into q life which only those can know who have experienced it.
 Therefore, we repeat, baild up your dwelling house with the inten- tion to make it permanent, with the knowledge that it's form and size is typical of your family, and that it will be a sou rec of instruc. ton, source of strength to your children. Banish the idea that it is ofno use to improve and make beautiful your present home be- cause you are going somewhere else tomorrow, direct your ener. gies with fixed purpose, tireless in. dustry and above all with patience to the establishment of home that will be source of noble pride to you, for your children and for your children's children.
 Begin now. You occupy place which by systematic improvement applying the rural wisdom taught in Uncle Diok's letter may be made to teem with fertility even as the land of the Nile, while on the other hand driven by patience you may move to and fro in the United States the rest of your life, and at the end of it be poor and without a home,
 A dilapidated and neglected dwelling place imparts some of it's shiftlessness to the dwellers there- n..--That is Q responsibility that rest on you, fathers. Yon not only keep from your children the source of noble pride, but you develop in them the same qualities that now make you homeless. The building up of a beautiful home cnnObles, while the want, tue decay or the loss of it abases your children.

The Ordinary Girl.

The ordinary girls idea of life is to dance through a few seasons, have a crowded reception evening, plenty of partners at ball, to SC. cure a certain number of offers, and then marry for love or other wise. Her father, whether he can afford it or not, generally gives her a brilliant wedding, in which she mak es a triumph exit, for nine oas- es out of ten it is literally the last of her. Some few, who marry rich men and retain their youthful spirits, return after year or two of domestic seclusion to tho pleas. ures of society, and have a better time than of old, but the ordinary girl simply becomes the wife of hor husband and the mother of her children-nothing more; and what is more, she seems to be perfectly satisfied, and to have envy for no one, with the exception, perhaps, of those who are better of in this worlds goods. She may cast a fleeting regard for the more deli cate obligation and freedom of heg girlhood, but gradually negleots her reading and conversational powers, and even ceases to be Ol importance to her own immediate circle,-Ex.

gOOuS.
 With all the protection to our cotton factories, we have imported the past three years one hundred million dollars worth of manufact- ured cotton goods. In 1860, we exported nearly eleven million dol lars worth, and in 1880 less than ten million dollars worth. Thcre are about one thousand Cotton Manufacturer in the UnitedStates. They employ 1S5,472 hands, and only pay Tn wages the sum of s45,- 500, ,OOO, and yet the value of their products is s21O, 900 q year. Last year all the revenue collected from the imports of iron and steel , cotton and wOolen goods, was only s53, 100000. In iSSOwe consumed of these articles, manufactured in this country, s739, 100000 worth. Last year we imported of these ar ticles Sl13,OOO,OOO worth. It is plain, that the $739,OO0, ,O00 worth of these articles we sold to the American consumer at foreign prices plus a duty of more than forty per cent, and while no reve- nue was raised by these home sales the.people paid to the protected barons" the enormous sum of $295, 100000.
 Under the captured and aban- doned property act, a large amount of property, belonging to the Southern people was seized by the United States authorities after the cessation ofhostilities, sent North, sold, and the money paid into the Treasury, amounting to more than slO,O0O 900. The Supreme Court has decided that the United States has no title to this money, and holds it as trustee. The people can not get it because the statute of limitations bars them. l will support g bill to remove the bar of the statute and permit the owners of this money to recover it.
 Soon after the war, Cons nsress i'm. posed upon our people what is known as the Cotton Tax, by which over s6O,0O0,0OO was collected from the Southern farmers. This tax has since been declared uncon. stitutional by the Supreme Court, and yet this money is still in the Treasury, and the Gov ernment will ont pay itback. I will do all in my power to have this illegal and unauthorized tax refunded to the people.
 These are perhaps the most i'm. portant questions which will claim the attention of the 49th Congress. Many others, perhaps, of seconda- " importance, will be introduced.
 A general canvass of the district has been agreed upon. and l ex' pect with other gentlemen aspir- ing to this position to meet you and discuss these and other ques- tions. Ifyou should select any one of my distinguised friends, l will bow submissibly to your will and give him my hearty support ' Should be chosen as your repre-. sentative, I promise that all my time and best energies shall be given to your service.
