Justice Mccarthy Honored by his Friends
Before Leaving Ireland.
LONDON, September 8.-A farewell ban.
quet vas given to Justice Mccarthy this
evening priort to his departure for America.
Parnell presided. In a speech Parnell
said the Americans would welcome Nc
Carthy as the foremost Irishman of the
age and the most truthful exponent of the
Irish question. Great Britian's first duty
was to give effect to the principles upon
which her " greatness was based, name
~: Rule OF the people, by the leople and
for the people, and also if che pleased to
guaranty fair play to the protestant COM
munity in Ireland. though he doubted that
there were many who feared that protest
ants would not have fair play. The ma
jority of the liberal party had supported
the Irish bill and he hoped weapons of le-
gaIity would only be used to enable Ireland
to take a position for which God had des-
tined her.
Mccarthy, in reply said he was not 60
ing to America on a political mission but
merely to pay a friendly visit, as he was
extremely fond OF Americans.

WHAT nations advised Turkey to make
wal preparations, is the question of the
hour. Certainly not Austria or Germany,
as their interests and sympathy incline
them towards the support OF Russia. The
advisors, then, must be England and
France. And should Europe be involved
in a general war, the Powers would be
divided in that manne That is, Russia
and Germany and Austria would be pitted
against England, France and Turkey.

into silence. He has lost flesh and his

the shadow OF his former self. His recovery

great Snowman, Adam Forepangh, who is
to startle the world by his powers in deal
ing with the national dangers of the great
Niagara. As his manager has announced
he has decided to walk his horse Blondin
over a tight cable str, tched on the brink
OF the great cataract on September 18th.
All the arrangements are being made to
that end. Thomas H. Davis, his represen-
tative says:
'Blondin is a Morgan colt which Adam
Forepaugh bought near Westminster, Penn,
three years ago. He was four years old
last spring. He is 14K hands high, is com
pactly built and weighs 300 pounds. Adam
began training him at Philadelphia early
last fall to walk the rope. At first the
rope was placed but two feet from the
ground, but before the circus started out
he could do a 2A-inch rope thirty feet from
the ground. He goes backward as well as
forward, and has never yet had a fall. He
has no fear whatever OF falling, and l
don't think there is any doubt but what
he will go over the Niagara gorge all right
on a still day.. He wears a patent rubber
shoe and is very careful and s~ure-footed.
1t will be a big expense, but we don't care
for this, for it will be q big card for the
show and a still bigger one for the Madison
Square Garden next winter if be does it.
1t is easier for q horse to walk a rope than
a man, after he knows how, for he has
more legs to balance himself with. Ami
mails are not credited with hall the intelli-
gence they possess. Blondin is OF a mild
and tractable disposition. 1 don't think
he will be afraid at all, but if he should be,
Lester, who does the s]ackwire and turns
somersaults with boots and spurs on, will
go with him. Cooke is at Niagara now,
and as soon as he gets the cable arranged
we shall begin advertisingf for September IS.

AN exchange very pertinently says that
the English people who are raising money
for the Charleston sufferers are surely very

for the Americans to accept assistance
from any foreign country. This country is

to allow any part Of the burden OF caring
for the unfortunate people OF Charleston

dras Negras that a band of re~volutionists
