GS-ODonovan Rosa, the head of the Irish
agitatOrs in this country and who is supposed to
be connected with the dynamite plots in London,
was shot in New York on Monday afternoon, by
an English woman named Dudley. Several shots
were fred at him but only one took effect, making
a slight wound in the back. The woman who did
the shooting has been in this country for some
time and is known to be weak minded. 1t is
supposed that the recent diabolical plots of the
dynamiters in London so worked upon her mind
as to cause her to commit the act. The shooting
created great excitement in the city, Rosa hav-
ing heretofore gained considerable notoriety in
his efforts in behalf of Ireland. He thinks-or
pretends to think-that the English government
is behind this attempt upon his life, but the utter
absurdiiy of such an idea is too apparent to the
mind ofany intelligent person to merit moments
consideration. The shooting was simply the act
of a weak minded woman who is not responsible
for her conduct.

GS-The Philadelphia Times says the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has recently decided
to employ on all its passenger trains the West
inghouse train signal in place of the ordinary
bell-rope. The new signal is simple and effec-
tive. 1t consists of tube containing air at a
pressure of fifteen pounds, which runs from a
whistle in the engineers cab to the rear of the
train. Any diminution of the pressure in the
tube causes the whistle to sound. In each car of
the train is valve, under control of the brake
man, which upon being opened allows the escape
of the compressed air from the signal tube, caus-
ing the whistle to sound instantaneously. If the
train is broken in two the effect upon the whistle
is the same when the valve is used. The air
is supplied by the same air-pump that supplies
the brakes. The advantage of the new plan is
that there is no rope to get entangled and fail to
give the necessary signal. The signal is sure and
instantaneous if the valve is used and surer still
in the event Of the parting of the train.

gg-A writer on the death of the venerable
Anthony E. Roberts, who died in Lancaster,
Pa, few days ago, says Constant courtesy
distinguished his intercourse with his fellowmen,"
and "theren was the secret of his success" This
virtue in association is too often neglected by
young men starting in life. 1t is easy for one
experienced with men to make pretty safe pre-
diction as to the success or failure of young
man on a short acquaintance. If he is grum,
surly and snappish in his relations with the world,
it is pretty certain the world will give him the
cold shoulder; on the other hand, If he is cour-
teous, urbane and pleasant in his manners the
world will be inclined to take him by the hand
and lead him upward on the way to successful
life. This is matter worthy the consideration
of young men entering upon business career.

@-The Baltimore American says "Waverly,
Peabody Heights and the neighbOrhoOd of the
Park having become trife warm recently, the
gentle burglars have temporarily transferred their
burgIing to the cooler climes of Highlandtown.
Do not suburban residents begin to have some
hazy and indistinct sort of an idea just now that
perhaps, after ALL the annexation of the Belt is
tolerably good idea, in spite of slight difference
in taxes?" Perhaps they might if the city au-
thorities can give them guarantee that they will
have some protection, which they do not appear
to have under the county government.

ex-senator German says that the election of
Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts as U. S. Senator from New
York has completely changed the whole Cabinet
situation. He does not think it would be good
policy now to take either Bayard or Garland from
the Senate, because the Democrats need their
strongest men in that body to cope with such men
as Evarts, Sherman, Edmunds and others on the
Republican side. Mr.. Evarts is recognized as
fOeman who will require the strongest opposition
that it is possible to present.

E9- There is a pension job before Congress that
promises to take $4OO OOO 900 out of the treasury
during the next four years. There are a score of
others that will take as much in the aggregate,
and yet Congress and some men outside of it are
gravely discussing how we can best keep down
the surplus. Unless this lavish expenditure is
cut short, in few years Congress will be devils
ing means to bring the revenue up to the expen-
ditures.

@-It is said that the salaries of our Cabinet
officers at Washington are not sufficient for the
officials to live on, and that none but rich man
can afford to accept Cabinet appointments. Now,
this depends very much on the character of the
men who fill those Offices. The salaries are amply
sufficient for any one to live on in way credtable

sufficient courage to refuse to be driven into the
extravagant and often discreditable follies of
Washington society. We should be glad to see
all our offices at Washington filed with men with
good common sense sufficient to frown down the
desire so prevalent there to ape the foies of Eu-
ropean aristocracies.

only one year in the House of Correction. Such
sentences will have no terrors for them
