II the telegraphed abstract of the Parnell
address fairly represents its contents 1t is
hard to see how the crown solicitors found
anything reasonable in it. 1t simply ad-
vises Nationalsts to maintain an attitude of
reserve, to make no hostile demonstrations,
and no expressions of welcome. and declares
that the visit of the Prince and Princess of
Wales to Ireland is inoppotune while an un-
speakably indecent coterie remains in pos
session of Dublin Castle. It is highly i'm
probable that Gladstone will encourage the
prosecution of Mr.. Parnell on such fimsy

(the coone) was invited. 1t was at time
when Gen. Grant was annoyed by the pre-
sentation of some old unpaid bills, goine
back previous 10 the war, and certain shys-
ers took pleasure III presenting them.
COL Dorsheimer, when Introduced to the
general, remarked that he was rebel. Gen.
Grant said be cared nothing about that, but
hoped that Col. Dorsheimer did not come
with bill TO collect.
Col Dorshemer said, by the way of joke
that he did have bill against him OF $35 for
harness that be bought when he went up
TO Quincy. With look of surprise, Gen.
Grant drew himself back, with his hands
held up, and exclaimed: HHas that bill. not

and had they entertained the slightest suspi.
con that Clveland's civil service reform talk
b-iore election was anything more than talk
fr the sake of votes, the electoral votes of
Indiana would never have been cast for hip.
Naturally now that there are indications that
Cleveland meant what he said there is great
perturbation among The rank and file and
open revolt among the leaders.
Indiana is certainly a very unpromislng
State to lead civil service reform BATTLE in,
and If Mcdonald accepts the position of
commander-in-chief of the civil service re-
