Within year there have been $4,000
Irish men, women and children elected
from homes by English landlords
thrown out to starve or emigrate. Ire
land is ruled and controlled by non-resi-

their benefit make virtual vassals of the
Irish people. 1t is not strange that such
oppression arouses hostile feeling and

keeps in practical slavery the great mass

A Paris wife fixed glass of water with
strychnine in it and one with pure water
designed for her husband and self to

the strychnine, but he got an intimation
of her.purpose, and diverting her attention
so that she turned her head, he dexter.

When she turned to the glasses, she handed
him the one she thought had in it the

then left to explain the situation to the

A Good Many Failures.

During the year 1888 there were l0,56S
failures in business in the United States

is sorrowful business to any man, especial
ly if it is his health that fails. A great

The ofice-seekers are swarming about
Washington yet. The President has re-
fused to listen to petitions and recon-
mendations, referring all who approach
him on the subject of office to the heads of
the several departments. Virginia has
her share of the importunates, but as yet
there has been no assurance given to the
public as to who will be favored. Four
Congressman from one of the States APP
preached the President on behalf of an
applicant for given office. He replied to
their application. that he was not aware
that there was q vacancy in that particular
position. Another delegation pressed the
claims of candidate, and after presenting
his qualifications in exaggerated colors
they asked if there were any objections to
the appointment. The President replied
that he knew of but two-one was the
Tenure Of office law, and the other his de-
termined purpose to respect the Civil Ser
vice enactment. The delegation returned,
wiser if not happier.

She speaks OF customs that now are not,
Ofthe pride and fashion that strut and swell
Nothing that happened has been forgot,
And strange are the tales that she loves tc
tell.
"1t was not the way in the days of old,
TO dress In silks and laces rare,'
She said. "for we had no surplus gold,
And life was full of toll and care.
'The homely duties that day by day
Came steadily round without miss. fa
Kept idle follies faraway. s3
And taught us that work was the surest bliss
ITO pillow, and sow, and reap, and run
While the women whose work was never done
Would bake, aud wash, and scrub and then
when all the heavier tasks were DER,
Would still have something to prepare.
If only to darn, or sweep the floor,
Or sew or knit in some ancient chair.
I'VE would spin and weave in the old-time
days,
And evenings after dark and tea
Our beaux would come to the tireside blaze
And this was the way John courted me.

She fell asleep in her easy chair!

BRDeEpoRr, Conn, January l7.-An
attempt was made at IL o'clock last night
by unknown persons to blow up Crofut &
Knapps hat store atISouth Norwalk with,
dynamite. The shock was felt all over
tho city and attracted great crowds of
people to the scene. One end of the
structure was completely blown out. There
were seventeen people asleep in the build
ing at the time, all of whom escaped in
jury. 1t is supposed to be the work Of
dissatisfied strikers or their friends. The
men in the building were thrown from
their cots, the windows throughout the
building shattered and the heavy stone

The r Defaults.

BUFFALO. Jan. 1.-THE Erie has de-
faulted on interest due holders of bonds
of the road since it leased the narrow
gauge system. 1t is uncertain when it
will be paid. The question Of what will
be done is being debated but no satisfac-
tory conclusion has been reached. IF the
narrow gauge a~ntagonizes the Erie by tax
ing the matter into the courts they fear
that the Erie freight, upon. which they
are dependent, will be diverted from their
lines. They therefore are waiting in hopes
when President King completes the work
of reorganization that some satisfactory
provision will be made for paying the
b~ondholders.
