P0rnell's Latest PrOcla am alton,

At the banquet to Mr.. Parnell in Dublin,
few days ago, loyal toasts were omit
ted. Mr.. Parncll eulogized his followers for
their courage and sclf-denial. lie said
there was only one thing on their pro-
gramme, to restore the Irish parliament.
When the parliament assembled in Dublin,
it would develop the Hcaly clauses OF the
land act, make tenants owners OF their
holdings, and to secure to laborcrs a share
in the land. Mr.. P;rncll dwclt upon the
Importance Of sccuringloyal and sel!-deny-
ing members in the next parliament for the
final battle for home rule, before which lie
hopes to pass further remedial me aslrcs.
He sketchcd the tasks OF the Dublin parli;,-
ment, which would consist OF 1. single
chamber. He hoped that the coming party
would be strong enough to restore the in
dependence Of Ireland. Justin Mccarthy
presided at the banquet. In Sackvile street
an enormous crowd collected and chccred
incessantly during the banquet.

Persons on intimate. terms with tn

Persons on intimate. terms with the
members OF the Grant family say that
they have never for moment enter
tanned the thought OF removing the re-
mains OF the General from Riverside
Park to Washington, or any other
place, and that the removal will never
be made with their consent. Before
they accepted the present site for the
tomb they all agreed upon it as the
most desirable under the circum.
stances, and the most agreeable to
them, collectively and individually,
that could be chosen. The grave OF the
hero will unquestionably remain where
it is, and any and all discussions ofthe
likelihood or possibility of change is
declared to beextremely painful to the
widow, as we'll as to her daughter, her
sons and their wives.

FAithl0SS to His Trusts.

Judge Israel S. Spencer, a widely known
resident OF Syracuse, N. ", died very sud-
denly in his office, March 13. He was esti-
mated to be worth $3.50, 900 and held in
trust q large number of estates. He left his
property to his wife, who died very sudden
~ in New York city in June last. Persons
who have had occasion to ascertain the
facts are surprised to find that there is alb
solutely nothing in his estate and that at
least $50, 900 Of the estates held in trust by
him cannot be accounted for. About two
years before his death Judge Spencer con-
verted about $50, 900 of real estate in this
city into money and this is nowhere. to be
found. 1t is supposed that unfortunate
ventures in stocks account for the fact that
he died poor and q debtor to the estates
which he held in trust,

One of the Fish Stories.

A few days since, says the Vanccburg
(ky.) Courier, while a party OF gentlemen
were crossing the Ohio river near the
mouth OF Shade river, their attention WAS
attracted to sounds Of Il peculiar distress
ing nature coming from the water IL short
distance above them. Rowing to the spot
from whence the noise proceeded, they
found a large fish, struggling in the most
excruciating agony. One OF the gentlemen
reached out and catching the suffering fish
through the gills, lifted it into the skiif.
Immediately aftcrward the party was sur
prised to see 2 huge muskrat cut it's way
through the stomach OF the fish and leap
over the side OF the boat into the water be-
low. The above narrative sounds almost
incredible, but if any reader doubts its
truth he is respectfully referred to Capt.
John A. Williamson, Great Bend, Ohio, q
gentleman OF unquestionod veracity,

Census figures are coming in from
various directions, and they show gen.
orally great increase in the cities both
East and West, and a standstill in the
Eastern rural districts. In Boston
the enumerators find about 800, 900
people, but Bostonians think there
must be an error OF fifty or sixty
thousand somewhere, and adduce
figures to prove it, while other local..
ties, nearer home have been disap-
pointed and charge ''fraud in the re-
turns'-which is easier said than
proved.

Mr., Parnell's Dublin speech recently has
thoroughly aroused the Conservative press
of England. The Times says:
No prudent politician can underrate the
Importance OF the action taken by the
Irish Nationalist at their conference in
Dublin recently. Mr.. Parnells programme
may, however, meet with fate similar to
that which bciell O'Connell's at ID time when
the Irishmen were as confident as they are
now. Mr.. parnell demands the repeal Of
the union, SO the Irish question is no longer
a question OF local solf-government. This
might be accedod to by England, which will
never listen to plan for the separation of
Ireland

1t will be a shame and a disaster if Eng
lish statesmen of both parties fail to
battle him. We do not pretenl to ignore
the danger to which the imperial unity is
exposed: Mr.. Parncll now holds a strong
hand. The late Liberal majority in par
