While both parties in England

there is a general feeling Of digust at
the leaders on both sides among the
great mass of the people at the lack
of any definite stand by either party,
the campaign in Ireland is one Of the
most vigorous and clearest defined

palmiest days of O'Connell, Curran
or Emmett was there such universal
enthusiasm as there is through out
the Emerald isle. Like one man

The canvass is so we'll managed that
the opposition has practically surren-
dered and the home rule victory is
already won. This being the case it
is not unlikely that Mr.. Parnell and
his lieutenants will devote much of
their time to the promising burroughs
of Scotland and England. The
Irish leader can make it exceedingly

Kansas City news.
A very beautiful incident occurred
in a New Haven Church last Sun
day. Just as the preacher, Rev.
Mr.. Clark. finished the opening
prayer, dove flew in at an open
window and alighted on the gallery
rail. The preachers text was from
John: Il saw the spirit descending
from Heaven like a dove, and it
abode upon Hin" While the
minister was reading it, the dove
flew dowa from the gallery and
perched ON the Bible lying npon the
pulpit, and then flew back to the
gallery rail. At the end of the
sermon, Mr.. Clarke referred to the
incident as emblematic of the Divine
Presence. Upon this the dove
again few from its perch and alight-
ed upon the preachers head. The
congregation were vi>ibly affected,
many to tears, as the preacher
clasped the dove to his breast. So
beautiful is this thought, that SEN
timental Christians cannot be blamed
for believing that the dove was
really sent of Gccd. 1855. -.sl
