MISERY IN WEST IRELAND.
What a Visitor Saw at Oarraroe ear
full Scenes.

[ reached CarrarOe on Saturday even
ing, and on the next day happened to
meet the Rev. Walter Conway, who
was on his way to attend some sick
calls on one Of the islands which make
up his struggling and extensive parish.
Being anxious to see as much Of the
condition of the people as possible, /
gladly accepted. his invitation to ac-
company him.
I was by no means prepared for the
scenes witnessed that Sunday after
noon. Such poverty-stricken people,
such wretched novels, such misery, and
patient suffering never saw before,
and I nope I shall never see again.
There was scarcely house but had
some inmates lying down with fever,
brought On, ] was assured by the local
doctor, by h1nge.: or the want of suf-
fcient food. 1t was pitiable in the ex-
treme to see the emaciated features of
most Of them, and the looks Of fanlish-
ing despair on their countenances as
they lay huddled together on the bare
earthen floor or staggered about the
house like drunken people from sheer
exhaustion.
While the good priest was admins
tering the last sacraments to a few Of
the worst cases, I inspected several Of
the houses alone. I was quite unex
pected, and indeed I required no other
evidence than the character of the
cabins and the woe-begone appearance
of the inmates to convince me that the
gaunt spectre Of famine had already
appeared. Ishall never forget the sight
l beheld in one house. Father Conway
had preceded me by several yards. On
his pushing the door of this house open
I observed him reel backward and look
as if he were going to faint. The fever
laden atmosphere of the one-roomed
house as it rushed outward Was over
powerng, and it was some time before
he could enter. summoned UP cour-
age to follow him as he beckoned me to
come on.
I had some difficulty in reali zing the
fearful scene before me. On one side
Of the hearth lay two young boys in a
state of unconsciousness, and almost
side by side with them lay their two
sisters IN the same pitiable condition.
Following the direction indicated by
the priest, [ observed the mother of
these four children, few feet off, a
corpsel All yers lying on the bare
floor, with a few scanty rags their only
covering. I fastened from the house
overwhelmed with the sight, and what
my feelings we're can be better inn
agined than described. The priest re-
naming a considerable time in the
cabin, l returned to find him engaged
in cutting off the girls hair with an old
rusty scissors which he discovered after
close search. The next day the priest
visited this stricken family again, and
carried himself-to avoid publicity
two OF his own blankets with which to
cover the poor girls and their brothers.

LET US HAVE A MINING SCHOOL.

LEI 70 HAfE i MINING SCHOOLs
A few days ago the TIMES stated
that one of the great needs OF Idaho
was q Bureau of Immigration. An.
other one is Territorial Mining
t.rhoa.
Our mines are but more prospects,
our vein formations an unknown book,
the methods of reduction employed
mere experiments. If we had a prop
er'y equipped School Of Mines, much
that is now dark in this growing in
dustry would be made light, aud many
of the failures of the day would not
be. Our prospectors and miners
who are ever on the lookout for new
ideas bearing upon their vocation.
would oheerfully devote the long
winter months to the requirement of
the Theoretical knowledge of that
which they have hitherto only studied
from the exposed surface OF the rocks
aud the almost inaccessible fastne sses
OF the mountains. Our youths, who
are growing up within reach of untold
millions of hidden wealth, would
eagerly seize the preferred opportu-
Dity to easily aad cheaply learn the
theory and practise OF science which
others have vainlv expended millions
to master. The assaying. testing s,.d
sampling departments could al.e ''e
pro6tably opened, free of charge. to
all having ores to be assayed or test
ed-in small lots, of course.
Soon the time will come VIII, n we
will move in the matter of having a
State University; and our Schoo! OF
Mines will then. stored as it will be
with the aeoumulations of mineral
specimens from various parts of the
Territory, be an important adjunct.
ia brief. the proposed "School Of
Macs" would prove as valuable and
useful an investment IS this young
mining Territory could possibly have
made.
The necessity for such an institu-
ton being conceded. the next thing
to be considered in this connection 10
It's location. That should be in the
midst Of the most prosperous. extern
sivs, and centrally located mining re-
eion in Idaho. Now, where is that
region! Surely none will deny Wood
River the palm in this respect; while

the commercial, financial, social and
political center of the region as well,

It is the natural place for it.

Il ought not to be difficult for our
Legislators to secure this during the
forthcoming session. Ada county has
the capitol; Bingham the Insane
Asylum; surely Alturas, which is by
long odds the wealthiest and most
populous county in the Territory, is
entitled to something. Let that some
thing be the School of Mines; and i,
will have an institution that will "pay''
the Territory, in actual dollars and
cents, one thousand dollars for every
dollar invested in it.
So, let us have a School of Mine.
and Mining, and let us have it now,
this year, that it may assist in the dis,
oovery aud development Of our hid
den wealth.
