REPORT Or THE CONDITION

AS he himself puts it, he has potatoes 21 times a week. In the event of blight, such the historic one, the result in certain parts of Ireland could scarcely be less disastrous than at any former period. If one may judge by the physique of it's consumers, the diet requires no recommendation of the med ical faculty. for more stalwart race it would be difficult to find. In this corner of the country so long 'tpreserved," we should ex- pect to find the natural Irishman, and we certainly found him. The native Irish is almost universally spoken, but at the same time the majority of the younger generation speak English with brogue of the most exquisite flavor. Here, also, we have the Irishman in the typical attire to which caricaturists have accustomed To the visitor from the is- land it is @ ludierous picture to see him in tall hat, blue tailed coat and knee-breeches at work in his wretehed plot, like a philoso- pher out for little recreation It is not SO much the style of his garments, however, that makes their picturesqueness; it is their pos itively miraculous raggedness. We feel that this raggedness has quite pass ed the stage of disreputability, and has actu- ally become ornamentation.' But it is above all the hat that fixes the attention We have often closely inspected it, and our wonder never ceased how, in the coarse of 8 single life, any hat, however weather-beaten and however brutally used, could attain that pre-
 Aook 1G IS the great charm or tray el in Ireland that one can become acquainted with it's people in short time and on such easy terms The Irishman is the most
 approachable of human beings, and as the very Irishhan the stranger wishes to know is in most cases his own lord and master, intercourse is thus made doubIy easy. If in the course of solitary walk you should desire the solace of little conversation you have but to take your seat on one of the turf walls that form the fences in these parts of the country. If you are a smoker and produce your pipe, you will present additional induce ment. Before you are we'll seated you will be saluted with "A fine day, sir, God be prais- edl'' and careless figure will be seen ap- preaching with spade pickax over his shoulder. Sharing your tobacco with him it will remain with yourself to conclude the interview. Before 10 minutes have passed, you will have had the outlines of his family history, and his views on things in general, not even excepting his priest. At the end of many hours conversation as you please, he will speed you on your way with a fervent "God preserve you long!' and part with you as if you had been his lifelong friend.

THE 6sSCAR.,,

MT. Charles H. Litchman, who is 8 mem Der of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, appeared as the authorized representative of MT. Powderly before the Congressional investigating committee at St. Louis and gave some interesting testimony. An extract from his examination is as fol- lows:
 MT. Parker-What do you call scaba
 MT. Litebman-By scab the trades union- ist means what the lawyer means by shys- ter and the doctor by quack.
 Q. Do you not acknowledge the right of any man to work and earn wages and SUD- port his familya A. When you put the ques tion abstractly in that way, I must answer it, s'Yes." But I do not acknowledge the right of any man, at the time great conflict is raging between labor and capital, to step in between and scab.
 This is, we believe, very moderate state ment of the hostile attitude of labor agitators toward those who think they have 8 right to work for living when and where they can get work. During the last few months many trade unions in this country have felt called upon to deal with fsscabs'' in very harsh way. A member of trade union.in Brook lyn who tried to prevent men from t'scab-
 
 ing as picket armed with billy and pistol was arrested and convicted of illegal acts. The judge in charging the jury made some remarks about ''scabbing" which are not ex- actly in harmony with the ideas of MT. Litch- man and the trade unions. He said: If 8 la borer is not satisfied with his employers terms he has right to leave work. No man can compel him to work if he does not want to. But to accomplish results by acts of vio- fence cannot be tolerated in America. have the right to work or not, and for any rate of wages and my employer may agree upon Any other rule would make voluntary asso- citations the owners of men, body and soul, and would be worse slavery than existed at the South. It is the inalienable right of every man to work for his living, and the right to earn his daily bread can never be taken from him by any act of congress or of the legislature. It might as well be shown first as last that this is the law
 We have heard a great deal lately about "seabs, "rats,' etc. But the truth is that a man who does not belong to trade union has right to earn a living for himself and his family if he can, and such man does not show good sense and courage when he refrains from working through fear of being called ''scab" or 'srat." It is better to be an industrious and honest ''scab' than 8 and lazy labor agitator, or the dupe of one

ALL THE POINTS OF PITCHING.

How Heeker, Foutz, Radbourne,
 We1ch and All the TwIrlers Twirl.
 From the Philadelphia Pressl
 According to Hecker there are six distinct styles of delivery outside of strategy. They are the straight delivery, out-curve, in-curve, high in-curve, rising ball and drop ball. The strategic part, however, further divides these six classes into many different shoots. A straight ball can be thrown, for instance, in several ways so as to deceive the batsman This is done by ranging the speed from a swift to slow or medium ball, or by de- captive move of the arm. Then again either of the various curves can likewise be gauged from short quick to long stride, or a slow or swift curve, either bei2g resorted to as a means of deceiving the batsman.
 An in-curve is not generally successful un- less the ball is delivered swiftly with the necessary twist A slow in curve (which is very deceptive so far the writer's obser- vations have extended) is really only success fully worked by few pitchers, of whom Matthews and Foster of last years Philadel- phias are worthy of mention. The curves and shoots vary considerably with the vari- pitchers. Daily of the Philadelphias, Welch of the New Yorks, Radbourne, Hen derson, Calvin, Porter and Carruthers have very short, sharp curve, while Ferguson, Mccormick, Foutz, Matthews, Hecker, Bald win, Morris and several others give their curves wide range. The difference is that the former comes straight at the plate and then curves away, while the latter, when it leaves the hand, seems if it would never get near the plate, but suddenly curves over it. In both cases the batter is liable to be deceived. Of course the above-named pitch CTS use all the various curves, only they re- sort mostly to the one in which they are classified.
 The drop ball is, for some reason or other, more successful when adopted by left-handed pitchers. Shaw, Ramsey, Casey, Baldwin, Morris and Smith are notable examples of left-handed pitchers who have remarkable drop-ball deliveries. Ramsey probably has the greatest drop to his delivery of any of the pitchers of the present day, and as re- suit is hard to hit. The next to him is Buff linton, who, however, is right handed The next best to Bufinton of the right-handed pitchers on the drop ball is probably Mat thews. Outside of these two the left-handed men all rank ahead of their right-handed colleagues with this particular delivery. The drop bali varies just much as the other deliveries in point of range, and is mentioned here to show how vastly different one pitch CTS delivery is from that of another, and how large field the ambitious young man who aspires to become pitcher has before him.

since 1867 the increase has been no less than 297, ,000, or 129.46 per cent. Out of every 100 persons who were enumerated in the census of Prussia in 1867, 9.52 were males and 50. 4S were females, but now the propor- tion is 49.O7 and 50. 93 per cent. respectively, the excess of females having increased from 0.96 to 1.s6 per cent. in eighteen years. Of all the provinces of Prussia only Rkineland and Schleswig- -Holstein show 8 small prepon- derance of the male sex, while in East Prus- sia, Posen and Berlin the greatest preponder- ance of females is to be found. In Berlin
 alone, with it's population of roughly 1,300,- 0e0 there are 52, ,419 more females than males.

MT. Hutchins, representing the American Board of Foreign Missions, has brought to the attention of the Postoffice committee of the House grievance which deserves at tention. The Board publishes the Mission ary Herald, the oldest of American monthly magazines, having many subscribers in Bos- ton, as well as in other cities in all parts of the United States, and owing to an ab surd defect in our postal laws it costs just twelve times as much to deliver these mag azines to subscribers in Boston through the postoffice as to send them to San Francisco and deliver them there. If addressed to subscribers elsewhere than in Boston they pay postage at pound rates. In Boston they pay singly at the rate of one cent for two ounces

Tarbo1, the Lynn (Massachusetts) grocer who spurned the dictation of the Knights of Labor and defed their threats to ruin his business if he would not close his store at the hour which they fixed, has reaped the just reward of his declaration of independence.

It's Current Business Reported In an Unusu-

WASHINGTON, Oct &c I'm his annual report
to the Secretary of the Interior, the Commits
sioner of Patents NJ. V. Montgomery, says that
the current business of the Patent Office is In
much better shape and more prosperous condl-
ton than when Secretary Lamar assumed
charge of the department. AT that time the
business of the Office was largely in arrears; the
average time that an applicant for patent was
required to wait after the filing OF his applica-
ton and before the same could be reached for
examination, was FIVE and a half months, and In
some of the divisions he was compelled to wait
from twelve to thirteen months. At this time
such divisions are, on an averaee, about three
and a third months in arrears, and but TWO
are six months behind. The Commissioners says
that the present Congress dealt literally with
the Patent Office, and gave it all the force
really needed He expects to be able to bring
the work substantially up to date within the
next few months, and keep it so. Attention is
called to the imperative need of more room Tor
the Patent Office The Commissioner recon-
mends that some provision of law be made for
securing from federal courts certified copies OF
decisions or DEGREES in patent cases, and tnat
careful amendments be made in the statutes re-
lating to the date of patents, their assignment
and record, and to the reimbursement of persons
who have enormously paid money into the
Treasury. The Office turned into the Treasury,
during the calendar year 1885, $163, ITO, making
a balance in the Treasury on account or Patent
Office fund of very nearly SO, 600, 600.

And wonders in words that know nothing of fear

And be truest when youth and beauty have comet
Will you be true, love, will you be true?"

And each seems to hear the old-tme song
AS hand in hand, they wander along:

Will You love me as love youl
VIII love grow stronger years roll on,
And be truest when youth and beauty have gone?

Joyous at heart when their hair is gray,
Husband and wife together stray,
And hand clasps hand as they pass along,
And the heart oe each is glad with song:

Loving me well as have loved you!
And time. and change, and good, and i'll
Have linked us closer and closer still
