Tho Amateur Yachtsman.

From tss London Punch.
I'm bad when st sea, yet it's pleasant to me,
TO charter yacht and go sailing,
But please understand, L ne'er lose sight OF
land,
Though harder sailors are railing.
II only the ship, that's the Yacht, wouldn't dip
Aud heel Hp and down and roll over,
And whObkle about till want to get out,
I'd think myself fairly in clover.
But, bless you my craft, though the wind is
abaft,
Will stagger when meeting the ripple,
Until man feels both his head and his heels
Reversed as IL full OF his tipple
In vain my blue serge when from seas we
emerge
Though dressed as nautical dandy;
] can't keep my legs and call out for ''pegs'
or rum or of soda and brandy.
yacht is thing, they say, fit for king,
And etill 1t is not to my liking.
My short pedigree does not smack OF the sea-
! can't pose q bit like Viking.
It's all very well when there isn't a swell.
But when that comes on l must t1ddle
And 90 down below, for hit of q blow
Upsets my unn autical noddle.
Britannia may rule her OWE waves--Pm q
fool
To try the same game; but believe me
Though catching 1t hot, yet to give up my
''yOt"
Would certainly terribly grieve me.
You see, IT'S the rage, like the amateur stage,
Or coaching, lawn-tennis or haunting;
SO, though Pm SO queer, so yachting each
year
And hoist on the Solent my bunting,

Politicians Of the time-serving sort
should never put any OF their ideas ia
black and white. A letter written Ina
1881 by John 8. Wise, the Republican
candidate for Governor OF Virginia, has
been brought 70 light, in which be says /:
" The great bulk Of the Republican
party here hitherto has been negroes. A
large portion Of the white Republican
vote in Virginia hitherto has been made
up OF men who were not Republicans from
principle, but ~ matter Of trade aud
barter; men without character and infu-
ence, apostates for the price OF theIr
apostacy, men in the community who
would stgrve without Offices, who became
Republicans for Office, and whose tenure
OF Office not only added no strength 20
their party, but brought il into dlsrepute
and turned respectable men away from
it," No change has come over the Re-
publican party OF Virginia since that
time. Mr. Wise has himself become an
apostate for the price Of apostsoy.

The Temperance Centennial,

! The centennial temperance meeting 70
be neld at the Catholic Library hail to-
morrow evening will prooa' ly be one of
| the most notable demonstrations of the
\ kind eVe- held in the CITY. The fact that
I all our temperance organizations Will
lutte in 1t. and that representatives. OF the
various religious denominations VIII DO
| present, gives It an importance that must
/ particularly commend 1t to all friends OF
ten. peranco.
1t is just 100 years since DR.. Benjamin
Rush, Of Philadelphia, learned physi-
clan, Caristian, and patriot--one OF the
signers OF the Declaration OF Iudepend-
ence-publisbed among his medical works
the first American tract calling attention
to the evils of intemperance. That PAM
phlct led to the agitation of the temper
ance question in this country, which has
continued and increased to the present
da;.
The movement originated here by st.
John the Baptist Total Abstinence and
/ Benevolent Society to celebrate the event,
has been heartily Endorsed by the other
temperance organizations of the city and
members OF any distinctive organization.
The Indications are that the meeting Will
be large and profitable one.
1t is commendable fact that the large
majority of the temperance people of
Georgia labor alone for the good of the
cause TO which they are devoted, and thai
they have shown no disposition to use
1t as a political hobby. To this
fact, as we'll as to their earnestness, con-
servatism, and wisdom, is due the degree
of success that has crowned their work
in nearly every part of the State.
There is need for all the work that the
friends of temperance can do in Savannah,
and for all the enthusiasm they can
arouse. To save the young and to rescue
the fallen from the evils OF intemperence
is Christian duty, as it is glorious
privilege open to every undetermined per-
son. The means proposed tor the accom-
plishment of this work Will be the princi-
pal themes tor discussion tomorrow
evening.

The Savannah branch of the Irish
National League has issued an address to
the friends of Ireland, asking for contribu-
tions to the parliamentary fund for the
support Of the Home Rule members of the
English Parliament. The address will be
found in another column of this mornings
NEWS.
MIR. Parnell and his coadjutors have al
ready accomplished much for Ireland
and there is reason to believe that, with
the support of the Irish people and the
friends Of the Irish cause in America and
elsewhere, they will, in the near
future, secure for the Emerald Isle the in
estimable blessings OF home rule through
the re-establishment Of the Irish Parlia-
ment. hf
The members oftbe British Parliament
receive no pay for theIr services, and a
large proportionOf ne Irish members are
unable 70 sustain themselves in London
at their own expense, Money contributed
TO the support of the Irish members Is
devoted to perfectly legitimate use aud
one that tends to elevate and smoliorate
the condition OF the Irish people. There
is no danger that 1t viii be msapplied, or
that 1t viii get into the hands Of the
fanatics and pretended patriots who, by
illegitimate and unwise agitation, have
done so much TO prsjudiee and injure the
Irish cause.
The tone and temper Of tho address is
conservative and dightned. u could not
be otherwise, emanating as it does from
such gentlemen as compose the commit
tee. 1t should meet with prompt and
liberal responses.

How Mr.. ArksII Evaded Payment.

Washington Letter TO the Cle0eldad Le0der
A number of stories are told OF him Mr.
Arkell, OF the Albany Journal. At one time
he, In company with a half dozen railroad
men, was going to Niagara Falls, and "a the
conductor entered the door Arkell said to his
friends: al will bet q basket OF champagne for
the crowd that will beat that conductor out
of my fare. ! VIII not show my ticket, and he
will let me ride freew
"DOne" cried his companions
"NOw, watch me-" replied Arkell. "And
don't laugh. Will take seat away from
you"
with this young Arken went across tho
aisle, q few seats to the rear, and leaned his
head on the seat in front OF him. The con-
ductor came and tapped him on the shoulder.
Arkell looked mp and began to gesture and
talk IN a jargon OF gibberish which sounded
like nothing since the days OF Babel.
The conductor thought It was German, and
he hunted through the cars until he found a
German passenger. lie brought this man 10
Arkell. but the German could not understand
him, and he told the conductor 10 must be
French that the man was speaking. There
WAS French brakeman on the train and he

gestured violently. and continued his babel OF
eounds. Al last tho conductor said he had no
time 20 waste on an idiotic fool whom no one
could understand, and told him he could ride
and be hanged. To this Arkell jAbbered
away and the conductor went on. As soon IA
he had lett the car Arkell resumed his old
seat with his friends who we're splitting their
sides over the scene. Ills bot was won and
It's payment agreed TO. A half hour later the
