are more welcome to our land than the Irish,
but they must come hero to become Ameri-

We have always regarded O'DoNovAN
Rosa and his following as a set OF idle
knaves, adroit enough to swindle their credu-
lous and Ignorant fellow countrymen by set
ting up a pretence Of conducting private
hostilities against England. We have not
believed that thcy aimed ut anything moro
serious than a low and contemplate form OF
felony; and as practitioners who could

we have not been much concerned
about them. II. however, III quarrel

be made to learn that If they would live In
this country it must be as American citizens,

1t seems pretty hard that the New York

T THE DAY.
JonL1F1cAr1oN IN NEW Yonk.

" Lay NEW 1onA. -
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, March A.
Nearly all the flags were out here to-day, and
there was a general recognition of the
event at Washington. Some of the
most ardent Democrats Of the stock exchange
blossomed with red roses on their coat lappels,
and there was a real circus for abont five min
utes. The produce exchange put out their ban
ner with n streamer precisely at noon, one was
displayed from the assay office, hut none from
the custom house. The Democratic custom
house brokers had a jollification in the rotunda
of the custom honse, beginning at noon and
continuing until after3 o'clock.
NOTES OF THE DAY.
The Democratic members of this New York
stock and mining exchanges celebrated inaug-
nration day with nnexalnpled enthusiasm.
and cheered. and were mildly lectured by Col
lector Robertson for RAISING . disturbance. One
broker, addressing the collector. said he hoped
he would remain with them as collector of the
port another four years, and this drew a volle?
of cheers from the crowd.
In the New York senate Ely made a motion
that. in view OF the honor conferred upon the
state by the Inauguration, as president, of their
former governor, the legislature adjourn for the
day. The motion started q hot political dis
cussion on the relative merits of Cleveland and
Blaine. Much wild talk was INDUCED in, after
which the motion was carried.
The Democratic members Of the Wisconsin
legislature and local Democrats held a celebra-
ton at Madison last evening. when speeches
hbE ' hVtbu v SlcyGialU
were made. There was a moderate display (
fireworks on the street and considerable uois,
from the booming of cannon.
The Democrats of Waterloo and Cedar Falls,
Iowa, celebrated the day by firing salutes ri
noon. A banquet was held in the former city In
the evening, which was largely attended. Prom.
inent Democrats OF that section and The state
at large wore among the invited guests.
At Wiuona, yesterday, the Democrats dis.
played flags and fired salutes In honor Of Cleyc-

Passing the Plate.

car.
More diplomacy may be exercised by
the collector than any one would think.
Blu he can't do nearly as much to help
the church rs the members themselves
can as they sit in their seats. Let a.
gentle nen put silverin the plate and
then follow it with his eye. The chanc-
es are that not one within sight will
have the courage to put in copper.
More than one I've seen a man drop a
penny from the palm of his hand in the
middle of the plate, thinking it would
pass unperceived. But some deacon or
some Il interested in the church,
would light right on to the centre with
a well-directcd glance. Then the man
would look down, discover with surprise
that he had put in a cent, say,
"What q ridiculous mistake" and put
in more. There are lots of old church
members who understand this, and no
matter what church you may go to, nm
less you sit up in the gallery, you will
be pretty sure to see some old gentle
man or old lady with an eye on you as
the plate goes by. More hesitatlng
nickles have been turned in the right
direction By this means than any one
has an idea of. And It's only right,
for no II can supply q church with
heat, light and a good minister unless
ne has money to do it with. And every
one who enjoys these comforts ought to.
help pay for them.
There is q curious case in one church,
1t is that Of an old white-haired mem
Der, worth a million, who always puts
Just ten cents in the box. Rain or shine,
he's always in his seat Mt the same hour,
and always has q dime in change.
I've heard our minister make the.
most touching sermon on the heather
you ever heard. Tears would wet
the old millionaire's cheeks, but Just as
that box came around he would wipe.
his eyes, reach with his right hand in
his left waistcoat pocket, and draw out
that dime; just enough to take a mis-
sionary to Harlem. He probably con-
tracted that habit when he was a Door,
man, and grew to like it.
Other men are just the other way,
and give liberally-more, perhaps, than
they can afford. Men who get their
money most easily are the most liberal;
brokers and spectators who don't
know whether they own a cent or not
will throw a $40 bill, when e solid real
estate owner will give q quarter. And
I've seen a regular gambler come
INTO church in all kinds %offancv clothes
and contribute something handsome,
Just for luck.

The Most "Judgmattc'' and limitations"
Creature that Ever Lived.
Washington Republican.
Mr.. Luke Prior, of Alabama, is noted
for his great natural sense and his orig
inal English. "I see," said he to q
group of fellow members, chat Senator
Hampton has been telling about a COW
he owns that can talk, and Senator Vest
tells about q dog that can black boots
and initiate n Methodist exhorter. Now
/ have a mule on my farm near Opelika
which is certainly a judgmatic creature.
He is an emery looking cuss, but, as
said, very judgmatic. ] must say he is
the most limitations animal l eve
see. Heis ever more limitations than the
monkey. That mules favorite amuse-
ment is to so in swimming with the
boys, and-and would you believe IT,
lie car swim on his back and dive head
foremost like u fish. Yes, sir; he has
dived at least thirty feet and come up
with his head all over mud. This
mule is so limitations that he can coun-
terfeit almost any wind instrument.
There's q ferryman near my place who
has shot at him several times. The fer
ryman has o horn on the opposite side
of the river for travellers to blow as q
signal when they want to come over.
The mule got onto this racket, and
whenever he gets q chance he goes down
to the ferry and brays just like a horn
e BLOWN. On foggy days the ferryman
can't see across the river, and he don't
know whether it's the mule or q travel
er. He told me the other day that last
year he had pulled his boat over sixty
times to answer that id long-eared
mule as he put it. On my farm Ihave
q large bell, with rope attached, to ling
up the hands at daybreak. An old col
ored man used to attend to this
duty, but one night about two
years ago he suddenly died. Next
morning everybody was astonished
to hear the bell ringing at the usual
hour. I went out to see who was ring
ing it, and, gentlemen, I hope Imay
never get back to Alabama ii it wasn't
that mule! Yes. sir; and that mule
has been ringing that bell ever since at
daybreak every morning. Not only

negro cabins, just as the old man used
to do, to see that everybody gets out on
time. The old man had a way of kick
ing on the door Of a hand who did not
move out brisk, and one morning the
mule followed his example. In a GER
tam cabin there were a very lazy color
ed family that e stirred until every
body else was at work. just at day
break the mule backed up to the front
door and gave a kick with both feet.
that sent the whole family through the
back window. The mule didn't know
it. however, and he kept on kicking.
The next day it took four carpenters to
put that cabin together again. Gentle
men rs l remarked before, that mules

eagerness of the large crowd assembled
to witness the affair to such a degree
that they pressed up on each side of the.
line, until there was left quite a narrow
space scarcely large enough for the
passage of the balls. After the parties
had resumed their positions, pistol in
hand and trigger set. awaiting the word
for a second fire, everything being as
still as death, Mr.. Prentiss observed
a little boy. who, anxious to witness the,
fun was climbing a sapling in his rear.

Bnrslars Tie the Waterman and Rob the
KniokerbOcker Ice Company.
New York Times. 15th.I
When the stableman of the Knicker-
booker Ice Company arrived at the
office Of the ice-wharf at the foot of
Oak street, Greenpoint, at 4:30 o'clock
yesterday morning, he was surprised to
find the door standing open and a
general look Of disorder about the place.
Looking in through the door the stable
man saw f. ID. Coutant, the night
Waterman, tied down to a chair, his
feet and hands bound, and his mouth
stuffed full Of some kind Of cloth. The
door Of the safe standing in the corner
was wide open, and the stablsman could
at a glance see that its contents had
been rifled. Recovering from his sur
prise he released the Waterman, who
was almost suiIocated, and started ont
to look for policeman. lie found
Officer Skivens, Of the Seventh precinct,
who escorted Coutant to the station
house and listened with mild dismay to
the story that individual related.
In the mean time an examination Of
the office had been made, which resulted
in the discovery that the safe had been
blown open and $200-all the money
in it-had been stolen. Coutant, who
is also Waterman for Smith, Cannon K
Co., whose undergrad adjoins the ice
company's premises, says that at
o'clock yesterday morning he left the
undergrad, all being quiet, to 90 over
to the ice-wharf. Two men sprang upon
him from behind pile OF lumber and
with two well directed blows knocked
him down. Before he could do any
thing. he says, the men. one Of whom
wore a mask, the face Of the other be-
ing concealed unlera SLOUGH hat, bound
him hand and foot, gagged AID blind
folded him, and then. warning him not
to struggle. carried him to the lee com
pany's Office and tied him to a chair.
- could then make out" he con-
iinued, " that the burglars were drill /
ing n hole in the safe, and in about half
an hour they carried me out into the
yard, and from there | heard the ex-
-losion which burst the safe door.
The burglars carried me back into the /
office then, took everything they could, /
md got away"
The condition Of the Waterman bore /
)ut his statements. His hand, and /
Get were black and swollen from the
.ords with which he was tied. and his
load was badly bruised where he had
'een struck. Coutant is an old and
rasted employe, and implicit faith is
laced in his story. Detectives who
we're put on the case found brace and

OK Of blasting-powder, lying near the
afe. They say that the burglary was
