Rossa,s Prison Life in England.

Donovan was first arrested in 1858, when he
was charged with treason-felony, in having arms
in his possession, and with belonging to the
Phoenix society The information on which he
was taken was lodged against him by priest.
He was kept in prison for three months, and
then was conditionally released. the government
having been unable to procure evidence
against him. In 1862 he visited America.
Returning to Ireland, he soon after
became manager of The Irish People, the
organ of the Fenians, published in Dublin The
paper was seized Sept. ID, 1862 and all connected
with 1t were thrown into prison Rosa was
tried on charge of treason felony and conducted
his own defense. He was adjudged felon and
was sentenced to penal servltude for the term
OF his natural life"
He was first confined in Mountjoy, then taken
to England and put III the prison at Pentonville.
Thence he was removed to Portland. While in
Jail there he claimed to be political prisoner

ceived in consequence of this He says he

wrists and subsisted on bread and water for 500
days. From there he was taken to Milbank and
thence to Chatham where he declares that he
had his hands chained behind his back for
thirty five days consecutively. He was an un-
ruly prisoner. He broke everything he could
lay his hands on; crammed the lock with pieces
of broken dish SO that it took the jailors eight
hours to open the door: at another time barri-
caded himself, and the keeper was compelled to
break the door in with a sledge hammer, and his
eliminating offence was dashing a pail of sops

under the general amnesty in 1871, on condition
that he would reside outside the United King

around his body, which was riveted to the prison
wall. This chain, Rochefort says, was so short
that Rosa was not able to stand up. Sometimes
Rosa was allowed to 60 without food forty eight
hours. and when the jailers supposed he had
famished long enough they brought food piping
hot and placed it out of his reach. Rochefort
was told this story by Rosa himself.

added, a terrible vengeance will be exacted on
the persons of prominent and valued English

evening to express Indignation Twenty six ex-

the personal friend of Rossa referred to above,
who called for deep and bitter vengeance on the
author of the cowardly attempt, most cow
ardiy because woman was chosen
as the instrument" 1t was proposed,
and unanimously carried, that the
English government being primarily RESPONSE
BILE for this dastardly outrage, should bear the
consequences. Each member of the organiza-

authors of this cowa-dly attempt on the life of
one of the purest patriots on earth will have to
be paid for by the best blood of the Briton, not
even excepting the heir to the British throne,
who is now in our midst, and, Resolved To
cable the condolences of the meeting to the
family of the chieftain, and to the supreme
council of the Fenian Brotherhood"
There has been intense excitement since the
news arrived. From the remarks made it seems
very likely that some attempt will be made
against the Prince of Wales at Cannes, where he
arrived to- day.

Minister West on the Shooting.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Administer West, of
Great Britain, was asked to-day what he thought
of the shooting of O'Donovan Rossa, and in re-
ply he said: II deeply regret the shooting of
that man, because it makes it appear as if the
party of law and order were resorting to
the same means as the dynamiters, and were
pursuing a system of retaliation than which
nothing is more dangerous. Of course, it would
be suspecting England of being fool to imagine
it instigated the attack upon Rossa."

New YORK, Feb. 4.--Mrs. Yseult Dudley, who
was yesterday committed to the Tombs to await
the result Of O'Donovan Rossas injuries, said to
reporter this morning: 'Many of the stories
published concerning me are tissues flies. The

"You have no right to ask such a question"
said Mrs Dudley impatiently; 'but will say
that never was confined in an English prison of
any kind. The newspapers on the other side ought
to know better than to print such stuff. If one
were to believe all they say about me- would
indeed be an impossible character"
"How about the report that you are a spy in
the employ of the British government, and gave
champagne suppers to certain English barris-
ters, supposed to be in sympathy with the dyna-
mite movementlr

More About Her Career in England.

LONDON, Feb. 4-Further investigation of
Mrs. Dudley's antecedents in England shows
that when she learned she he'd been deceived by
mock marriage to person in the south of
of England, she became mad, but declined to
prosecute her betrayer. Persons intimately ac-
Quainted with her say her love for her children
was so intense that for long time after their
deaths she daily visited their graves, and would
be on the mounds for hours, frantieally appeal
ing to the children to come back to her. Rev.
Meyrick, chaplain of Millbank prison, where
Mrs. Dudley was incarcerated for short time
on charge of attempting suicide by poisoning, in
an interview to-day, said:
While Mrs. Dudley was in Millbank prison
she suffered from insomnia and took narcotics to
produce sleep. She affected madness She was
generous and impulsiyely benevolent, and always
helped sufferers in the institution At one time
she formed scheme for nursing the children of
the poor SO their mothers could be enabled to
hire out for the day"
On Jan. 4. last, Mrs. Dudley wrote Meyrick
from New York. as follows: ''I cannot saw that

The Silver City Enterprise, of the 12th ult, unearths the follow ing from the proceedings of~the City Council of Silver City, New Mexico, of two years ago, which is not complimentary to that body, and doubtless now causes a blush to mantle the cheeks of those who by their votes gave it their sanc- ton:
 "Two years ago this month the council of this city passed set of eulogistic resolutions upon Gen eral Crook as an Indian fighter, although in that ever-memorable campaign the troops never once engaged the Indians. The reso- lutions were handsomely en- grossed by Tiffany & Co.,, of New York, at the expense of the tax, payers of this, city something like S200, and then were, officially pre- sented to the General. It would now be in order for the people of Grant county to present the Gen eral with the papoose recently captured by the Duncan citizens, as a memento of his lying and treacherous Indian policy"

Method fora Long Life.

Among the candidates for the last vacancy in the French Acad- emy, the famous institute of learned men, was Monsieur Chev- reul, who remarked gaily to one of the Ministers: "Sir, you see before you the oldest student in France" This ambitious student" is only 97 years of age! Being complimented on his activ- ity and his fresh appearance, M. Chevreul replied: ''Ah! That IS a simple matter. I have never gone to excess in living as other mortals do. I have never drunk wine. I believe nature is a good counselor, if we make no compromise with her laws. I work a great deal, but when I am tired I stop and rest. My sleep is sound and as soon as I wake rise. 1 do not believe in the necessity of regular meals. I eat when I feel like it. I take a long walk every day, until fatigue compels me to stop. My father taught me this method of living, which was his own. He found it a good one, although he died younger than me; he was only 91." Here, then, is another method to those already recorded of the men who have attained longevity. A perfect control over ones ap- petite would be essential If fol lowing out the system of M. Chrevreul. It will be noticed, however, that all the rules agree in one respect-that excess in any direction is to be avoided. Tem- perance in all things-dissipation in none!

Sound Tariff Views.

From the New York Graphic.
 Ex-Senator Mcdonald, of Indi- ana, has just expressed himself upon the tariff in a statesmanlike way. He declares for a tariff reform which shall secure for our manu- lecturers raw material at a cheaper rate. A tariff ought to be a tax highest on luxur1es and lowest on necessaries, MT. McDonald tersely says. The policy which he be- lieves the present Administration will endeavor to formulate, he adds, will be to make the necessa- ries of life and raw materials cheap, so as to lessen the cost of living, while providing labor for ouf workmen. As these are the identical tariff views expressed in almost the identical language em- ployed agaln and agaln by the Graphic, 1t Is needless to add that the distinguished ex-Senator's de : clared policy has the unqualified approval of this journal. Of all Western statesmen McDonald's financial views were the soundest, w1sest and most consistent during the whole period of paper money imitation. It is extremely gratify- ing to observe that his opinions are equally sound and enlightened upon the important subject of the tariff.

President Cleveland and his Cabinet do not pretend to be either omniscient or infallible. They do not claim to be minutely familiar with the record of every Democrat in the United States; hence they have been at times misled and deceived in relation to men who have been nominated for office, but do not hesitate to promptly correct any and every mistake of that sort. After awhile the Senator, Representative or politician who endorses the ap- pllcation of an unworthy asplrant for Federal office will find that the latch string of the White House door no longer hangs out for him.
