The recent transition from Liberal to
Tory rule in Dublin showed a decided
change. Earl Spencer left Dublin through
streets lined with troops, the police also
on guard, and with detectives swarming
in all directions. When the new viceroy,
Earl Of Carnarvon, and the chief secre-
tary- Sir William Hart Dyke arrived,
they jumped into a carriage and rode to
the castle without n soldier, policeman or
detective in sight, and as quietly as any
other two gentlemen might have driven
through the streets. The Irish are de-
lighted with the change, or will be if it is
kept up.

family that there was no room to spare
for bathroom, but it fortunately had
a good large kitchen. Upon one side
of this kitchen stands the bath-tub,
cased in with pine boards. Above this
casing is a movable board six or eight
inches wide, and the whole is covered
by a smoothly-pianed hardwood board
or boards, hung by hinges against the
wall. When the board is letdown over
the tub it forms a kitchen table about
seven feet long and about four feet
wide. and those not in The secret would
not suspect what is beneath il. When
the table is turned up and the movable

the water off through the same channel

Very Old CrOckery.

Mrs. Henry Winship, of this city, has
remarkable collection of antique
:rockery, all handed down through the
Winship family. The most antique is
marble butter plate. nobody knows
how many years old, but its age must
be quite respectable, because DIR. Lyon
says marble dishes were the first
..crockeryn ever used in England. The
plate is of dark. yariegated marble;
part of the edge has been broken off
and restoration has never been attempt
ed; it is marvelously clean-cut.
Those old Englishmen, said Mrs.
Winship, late off marble. but our Rev
olutionary fathers in their dire dis
tress had to resort to the woods for
bark dishes, which were burned after
each meal"
A teacup and a saucer. blue save for
an interval of white and checked
border, are among the choicest of the
legitimate crockery. They We're used
by Mr.. Winship's great-grandmother,
and are at least POO years old. They
have been preserved with religious
care. A decorated bowl is one of the
same set. A tea-set of pictured blue,
used in the family seventy-tive Years
ago, is also treasure.
A water pitcher with decorations of
pink tint is not quite so old. but has as
remarkable a history. Thirty y-eight
years ago Mrs. Winship dropped it
down the well. 1t probably lodged
under ledge of rock, for during these
many years it has not been injured
save for few slight hicks. Its glaze
is nearly as good as when it was lost
commentary upon the impenetrabili-
" of the material. 1t was accidentally
tished up, 3 few days ago, while search
was being made for one of the buckets.
But what shall We think OF a punch
tumbler over 200 years of age? 1t re.
sembles in size the loving cups of oul
German friends. and is incrusted with
designs of mated birds-of necessity OF
English manufacture. In it probably
much punch was mixed in the golden
days of long ago. 1t is whole; not q
nick or mark is visible. 1t comes
down through the Winship family. A
fine large crockery cider mug is also
down at IS years of age. 1t is en-
blazoned with butchers coat of arms.

And why do You watch hero"
well, papa wanted her to promise
that she wouldn't lean on anybody
when she was skating with 'em. and
that she wouldn't tiirt when she was
resting, but she wouldn't promise, and
so came TO watch her. These short
marks are when she leans, and these

foot or so before the object was fully
comprehended, and all he would see
wonld be the faint and shadowv out
lines of pair of ears or the rim of
hat. The place where the face ought
to be would be dismal blank. Many
bright features are ruined by this fear
ful misfortune. Some sensitive victims

The Art of Conversation.

The real fault we commit is our fail
ure to recognize the pleasure that is
given by the narration of even the
most trivial incident in carefully ap-
portioned words. No one in talking
takes the trouble to form his sentences
according TO the most ordinary rules of
grammar. Our national shyness has
stamped us, among other vulgarisms,
with the soft shame that makes us fear
the charge of pedantry if we talk in
other than the most clumsy and dis
iointed way. We are afraid to venture
on phrase combination of words
that will convey our meaning of the
moment until familiarity has made it
commonplace, and then we drag it in
by the head and ears on every occasion
till it becomes nauseous from its fire.
qency. There is dreary heaviness in
our conversation born of deficient i'm
agination. We discuss, or rather utter
our words about the most ordinary mat
tiers with solcmnity which at first
sight looks like earnestness, but we are
not in earnest. We should resent the
imputatiun. Every nation has its own
peculiar snobbery-every nation, and
each rank in that nation, and class in
that rank, and each individual. One
phase of il with us in the way in which
we copy the habits or manners of the
rank above us. The desire to copy
implies deficient tact and power of OBJ
servation, and the effect OF copying is
very much that of the maid-of-all-work
in clearinghouse who tries to copy
the dress of the ladies on whom she
waits. She has neither the material
out of which to make the clothes, nor
the power of wearing the clothes prop
erly if she had them. The calmnesS
| and absence of emotion of patrician
manners not unnaturally suggest imita-
ton. People who, from their birth up
ward. have been accustomed to defer
ence naturally acquire manner which
7 takes that Difference for granted-an
/ attitude from which the element of as
/ sertion is elimited. The favored classes
with whom that is the case have also
feasts of other things besides the de
| ference of their fellows. Treasures of
