TIE coming to power of Mr., Gladstone
brings the question of home rule for Ire
land II step nearer to solution. 1t will
develop the opposition to that great meas
urc of justice; but a point has been gained
by the fact that the foes of the National
lists failed to remain in power a week after
parliament convened. The position of the
Orangemen who howled so terribly about
the Danger to the empire in case Ireland
should be allowed any degree of selfgoy-
erument, is that of the fanatical Repub.
leans of this country who are not tired
yet of predicting that slavery will be re-
established in the South and the union
forced to pay the confederate debt. As
common sense here has discredited the
bloody shirt brigade. so across the
ocean it should discredit those who preach
that a fair measure OF freedom to Ireland
will lead to the massacre of the landlords
after the landlords have been bought out
and are of no consequence whatever. The
friends of Ireland should keep up their
support of Mr.. Parnell.

DIR. Swinburne has a theory and a plan
Of his own for dealing with the silver
problem. 1t is based partly on the prin-
clple OF protection and partly on the idea
that the country really needs for none
tary use all the silver that is being pro.
dueed. Mr.. Swinburne thinks the gov.
m should buy all silver bullion offer
ed to it, paying for it in silver certificates
Of small denominations. which would then
become common currency, circulating side
by side with silver coin, gold coin, gold
certificates, and g~recnbacks. But, in
stead Of coming the silver, as the govern
ment is doing at present, Mr.. Swinburne
would have the government keep the
metal in bullion.
at would make no difference" says
Mr.. Swinburne, whether the certificates
are based on bullion or on coin. In either
case the government holds full security
for the paper it issues. And by keeping
the silver in bullion shape the trouble and
expense of coming and recoining is avoid
ed, to say nothingof the fact that the metal
can be handled and stored more easily
in bullion than in standard dollars"
Representative Swinbume thinks that
with the unlimited market which silver
would find when the government pur-
chased all that was offered to il, the price
of the metal would not decline, p.hile at
the same time the government, and hence
the people of the country, would be the
gamers Of the amount of the silver Ger.
tifcates which would be lost or destroyed
in circulation, and which would thus never
be presented for redemption.
MIR. Swinburne thinks the present SEES
sion Of congress will not close without
some important legislation in the interests
of laboring men.

Another characteristic sight in
the streets of Teheran is the bread.
Persian bread is made in sheets the thick
ness Of sole leather; the best quality is
somewhat thinner. 1t is formed in the
shape and size Of a side of leather. The
baker with bare arms dexterously raises
a sheet of this dough from the counter
where it is rolled out, losses and rolls it
over his left arm until reduced to the
proper t%enuity. With n rapid fling of
both arms he then spreadsit over the hot
floor of the oven. In a few moments it is
baked and spread out to cool. If there is
a convenient ledge in the street near the
shop, may see it covered with layers
of bread. This bread is cheap, l cent a
sheet, and what is more it is sweet and
nourishing, and, with curds, cheese and
fruit, forms a staple article of diet with a
large part of the population. Conse-
quently, n constantly meets with peo-

them, the women holding them in front

A SKETCH OF IDEAL SPAIN.

h spainard. a Strange NatIon-AndH-
lusin and sevilIe-The Cathedral.
The Spaniards are a strange nation,
and one that, not understanding, per-
haps we have no right to judge. There
are very few of the decorative arts that
they have not at one time thoroughly
understood, yet all seems dead and gone
now. They show you what they have
done-never what they are doing. This
is the country to which st. Peter needed
no guide when he returned. 1T is all
just as l left it," Certainly it seems so
when you enter Toledo, the ancient CAPT
tai. The same bridge spans the Tagus as
when Toledo was a Moorish city; the
same quaint old buildings look down
upon you, yet with all il is a cherry,
sunny, pleasant look, and you love to
linger in the streets of this ancient dame;
you certainly leave it with regret.
From here south you enter upon your
ideal Spain, and until you leave it in
far away Malaga it will dance and smile
and sing before you until you forget that
it has known days Of darkness, and been
a land of such deeds of horror as its his
tory speaks of. Andalusia keeps one
grand holiday always; from the noun
tains to the sea there is nothing TO be
seen ave happiness, even the beggars
laugh and sing, and the air is full of the
scent of roses and orange blossoms. Here
you find the gay costumes, here the fan
and mantilla reign supreme, here the
women are beautiful, and here, unlike
the most of their SEX, they know it, too.
The whirl of life moves faster and faster,
carrying you on through beautiful Cor
dova with its mosque of a thousand pill
lars" landing you at last in stately
Seville, that queen of Spanish cities.
Such is the rush and tumult of the life
around you, such the interest in the ever
changing panorama that for a time all
objects of history and art are forgotten,
and you jam your hat on the back of
your head and go along with the rest Of
the crowd for a gay, good time; and you
have it, for the size of your head on the
following morning ~abundantly proves.
Still, it is an immense relief TO pass from
all this noise and tumult into the cool,
quiet and majestic silence of her grand
cathedral. from the restless present to the
peaceful past, separated only by the court
of orange trees planted over a thousand
years ago by the dusky moor. The
peace of God" seems to reign here for
ever, and we enter into and become part
of it. While we linger under the bene-
diction of these solemn arches it is not
given us to have much of it in our lives,
and when we do find it, it's like "a rock
in a weary land" All around you the
dim isles stretch away until lost in the
distance, a stray sunbeam lights up the
golden-haired boy in Murillo's Guardian
Angel" every head is bowed in silent
duplication, for it is not hard to remem-

And we had words together,

I'd whip her with a feather.

Would tyranny declares it,
I'd give my love a cross Of pearls,

And throw away my posies,
I'd catch my darling on the sly,
And smother her with roses.
But should she clinch her dimpled fists,
Or contradict her betters,

With dainty, golden letters.

The thirty-three gods Of the rig-veda
form a multiple Of the sacred number
three, which is constantly meeting us in
the Hindoo system and ritual. There
are three vedas, three margas, or ways
of salvation, three gunas or letters OF the
soul. three principal castles, three eyes in
Siva's forehead and three worlds. There
is. too, the threefold cotton thread that
every Hindoo wears. Then there is the
tri-murti, or treble form Of Drama,
Vishnu and silva; and Professor Monier
Williams has identified the ~three stepped
