Referring to the outcome of the English

Referring to the outcome of the English elections, ex- -Congressm John F. Finerty said recently "I believe that England will, should this coming parliament exist as long as parlianents usually exist, grant home rule to Ireland. I think it will come out of this next parliament. If this par lament fails to pass such measure then the Irish people will lose all faith in par liamentary agitation. England through her statesmen and her press have many times said that if Ireland was ever prac- tically unanimous her demands for self government would be granted. She is perfectly unanimous to-day, with the ex- ception of very few constituencies hold ing about the same relation to Ireland that the prohibition movement holds to Ameri- ca. But if no such measures should be passed, the very few men in this country and Ireland who most condemn violence will become silent entirely, or will ap- prove almost anything which may be done by what is termed as the extreme element to annoy and injure England. If the com ing parliament does not grant the demands of MT. Parnen, will never give any frrth- CT aid for parliamentary agitation and never take any part or hand in obtaining funds for it, for will have lost all faith in English parliaments in reaching settle ment on this question"

| CHRISTMAS RHYME FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

BY WILLIAM LAWSON. We sat by the Christmas log, in the hall as
 we've sat before,
 And the winters wind was signing, We were talking of little friends, when we
 thought we heard at the door, For the old year then was dying, A rustling so strange, very strange, and the
 fire wouldn't burn at all bright And voices we'd not heard before, So hollow and fearful, and then, strange foot
 steps, now heavy, now light, And sudden bang of the door. Then all for while was still, no voices. nc
 step, no sound,
 And we trembling crept to the fire For we knew the old year was dying, and
 would soon be laid ill the ground, We clasped our hands and drew higher; For in the next room we could hear the plac.
 ing as of a huge box;
 Oh was it coffin we heard? And then, oh we hardly dare tell the sound
 of hammer, of knocks, We trembled, not finger we stirred; For we heard some one heavily breathe, as if
 'twere an old man dying, The batter of feet, then the lid, Past the hall door the coffin was borne, we
 heard sobs and some one signing, And the Yule log suddenly slid. The outdoor was closed with bang, we
 screamed and rushed off to bed, And both fell asleep, crying, Clasp'd m each others arms, with the clothes
 pulled over our head,
 And dreamt of the old year dying. But oh broke 8 lovely morn, the birds were
 merrily singing,
 In sparkling raiment of white, The New Year, so bonny, had come. and the
 joyous bells were ringing, We clapp'd hands and were wild with de-
 light.
 And threw open the folding doors and offered
 our thanks on high,
 That so bonny year should have come, And we both of us wished from our hearts,
 that this one might never die, And we'd always find it home. With plenty of laurel and flowers, and holly,
 with berries so red,
 And we'd have the mistletoe bough, ~> And we'd take good care, like the poor old
 year, the new one didn't go dead, For we'd keep good fire you know, And plenty of nice things to eat, and some of
 papa's fine old ale, A And we'd give it his big top-coat, And grandma should knit it some socks and
 whenever we thought it looked pale, Put our muffiers round it's poor throat. Then send for good old Doctor Noble. he'd
 soon make it better we know He'd soon make it laugh so hearty, And Hector you know mustn't bark, so we'd get Tom to take him below, And then we'd have such nice party When the New Yea1 got better and strong, we'd have all our old friends again, And we'd dance with--ah :; we shant tell
 who.
 Then Annie won't we be so glad, you know
 pa says, ''there's nothing in vain," And you see, Annie, now it's proved true. Then let's sing to the bonny New Year, a new song to the bonny New Year, That came in it's raiment so white, And wish from our hearts, on its head may come no sorrow nor tear, That Its days may be merry and bright.

In our Austin letter il il stated tha
representatives Jolly and Combs o.
this district are opposed to thu
"Female Clerk Bill" We ARE sorry
10 hear il, and We take occasion 10
remark that We believe II a wise and
eminently righteous measure and we
sincerely hope that it may pass.
II is contemplate indeed for any
man TO be afraid TO compete with
ladies' for these department positions
and that is about the sum and sub
stance Of the principle evolved. These
clerkships should BIO open to any
woman competent to discharge the
duties incident thereto, and there are
many such women Of intelligence and
refinement whom some Of those op.
posed TO the bill would, solely from
self.interest, or possibly, because Of
their narrow.minded and bigoted
prejudice prevent from obtaining
oongenial employment
As to the infinitely base and
groundless assumption that it would
have deleterious effect on the moral
character OF the applicants, it is I'M
worthy of a moments consideration.

deserves gold medal for his address

IRON ST LOUIS.

Enron FREE Pass:
Mr.. Edwin Harrison capitalist, ano
Surviving member OF the ancient ano
powerful firm OF "Chouteau Harrison
and Valle" owners Of the great Iron
Mountain, aud Pilot Knob companies
controlling the immense iron and
lead interests OF Missouri and the
West, is declared a hopeless bankrupt
and his millions, have "taken wings.
Every vestige of his vast wealth is
'gone glimmering." The above is
one OF the many failures and fnacial
disasters which will make the winter
OF 1885, memorable.
Speaking of great financial failures;
there is no denying the facts that
serious and complicated relations be-
tween manufacturers, great monoplies
and capitalist and the working classes
is really threatening the peace, stabili-
ty, and very existence Of the Govern
ment. The Developments at Pitts
burg and other cities Of the Northern
states shows a mighty movement and
organized resistance by the labor
classes against the Systematic oppres-
zion and ROBBERY of she mechanics by
tho monopolist. 1t is useless todeny
that Legislation is always in favor of
corporations and the law-maker per-
sists in forgetting and ignoring the
voice and claims OF the labor. To-day
the boots and shoes, the harness and
furniture OF st Louis is made by the
convicts in the Missouri Peniteniary,
and no one in the Assembly will
raise his voice against this criminal
and disgraceful competition with the
hoAest workmen. No wonder that one
term in Congress makes the average
member rich. But Revolution is
among the possibilities of the near
future and then will come fearful
reckoning"
A bill has been introduced in the
Missouri Legislature 10 compel the
telegraph companies to lay their wires
under the ground. The wires at
present deface the city seriously in
terfere with the operations of the
Fire Department and are nuisance in
general. a powerful lobby has gone
| to the state capital to present their
views against the Bill, and it is safe
to say the Bill won't pass.
The 'Spring elections" are beginning
to excite the attention of ward Poll
ticians. We present Major Ewing
is said to have put mp two thousond
dollars to secure his denomination
by the City Republican Convention.
The other side is equally active and
prospective "slush" and free drinks,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM Our Regular Cor respondent.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 3rd, 1885.
The work of the government in
many offices is twelve months in ar
rears. The neglect of work especial.
" in the u. S. Patent Office is dis
graceful This Office, for from be-
ing tax on the people is actually q
money-making establishment. Tho
fees paid by inventors to have their
machines examined are largely in
excess of the expenses of the Office,
and it has paid the surplus of more
than 80, 100000 into the Treasury of
the United States. Notwithstanding
this fact, inventors are frequently
compelled to wait eight, and ten
months before their cases are taken
up for examination. The Commits
sioner of Patents, Hon Ben. Butter
worth, is q politician and to much en-
gagged in the work of his contested
election to attend to the duties of the
Patent Office. Many of the Exami
ners are incompetent, dissipated, aud
idle. They are required to spend only
seven hours per day in Office, but
instead of giving their time to the ex.
animation of applications for patent,
they waste time in reading, gossip,
and in hirtations with the female en-
ployes of the Patent Office. These
Examiners are helping to hold their
places under the new administration
on the ground that they have expert
mechanical skill, and special know
ledge of the classes Of invention over
which they have charge. But there
are few government offices in which
judicious wedding will do more good.
Ornamented drones and idle sine
curists are thick in all the offices, and
their newly assumed and i'll fitting de-
mocracy should not deceive anyone.
II is the general opinion that the
week will be devoted to the Diploma
tic appropriation bill in the Senate,
and TO the River and Harbor and
Post Office Appropriation bills in the
House. The Post Office bill as pre-.
pared by the committee on appropri-
atoms Of the House. makes two i'm
portant changes in the rates Of post
age. The rate on letters and other
sealed packages is changed from two
CD cents for each half ounce. or frac
ton Thereof, 10 two (2) cents an ounce
while the postage on peWspapers and
other periodicals; mailed from 8
recognized Office Of publication, Is
reduced from two cents per pound to
one cent Both changes viii be vel
coined BY the public. and both are in
the interest Of the people. Congress
