"I have pleasure in writing a few
lines of preface to Mr.. T. z. O'Connor's

Of crisis like the present, when other po-
htical parties face the expense and diff
ticulties OF IL political campaign with
hesitation and apprehension, that one
really appreciates the enormous position
Of vantage in which American generosity
has placed the Irish party. Then the
unanimity Of opinion both among the
statesmen and the journalists Of America
has done much to encourage men like
Mr.. Gladstone, who are fighting for the
Irish cause, and to fill Ireland's enemies
with the grave misgiving that the policy
condemned by another great and free
nation may not be sound Or just. For
these reasons we are all especially de-
sirous that American opinion should be
made acquainted with the merits and
facts OF this great controversy, and the
following pages are eminently calculated

from me Iyo7tUO9t ora.
Our latest foreign visitors, the Greek
gypsies, proved vertable thorn in the
side OF the authorities, and i was amused
at the prompt manner in which they were
hustled off to Liverpool, where they at
once squatted upon the platform Of the
station ana refused to bulge. 1t has been
all through a clear case OF blessed are the
men, women and babies in possession.
Turned out at the first instance at the
docks, they seized upon a vacant space
close to the Millwall railway station, and
there set up their tents. Nothing more
primitive in the shape Of human dwell
ing place has been seen in this country
since the days of the ancient Britons.
These Migrants came to London from
Malta, with the intention, it was said, of
sailing at once for New YORK; but, wiser
in its generation than the children OF
light over here, the American govern
ment refused to be inundated with bevy
of picturesque ne'er do weels from the
Leyant. AS many vagabonds as you
please who are we'll dressed and well TO
do, but no idlers in rags and tatters.
These dark skinned men and women are,
however, by no means short of cash, albeit
they have raised mendiclty, to say moth
ing of mendacity, to the level OF a fine art,
for pence in the name of the blessed
Madonna, aud shoWered down blessings
In the names of all the saints in and out
of the calendar upon the giver OF a morsel
of bread. They invaded the shops, seized
upon joints of meat or loaves, and held up
three or four dirty digits to show the price
they were prepared TO pay, we'll aware
that almost any amount would be ac-
cepted after they had paved the goods.
The children are the most accomplished
little rogues in ChristeDdOm. In their APP
peals for aims there was pathetic and
precociOus piety that melted the hardest
heart. In bland innocence of demeanor
they left the "Heathen Chinee" tar behind,
and, moreover, their unqueuchable light
ness of heart is the strongest testimony
against the advantages of civilization.
Not one of the most cultured and refined
among us could meet with such careless
lightheartedness the troubles of our COM
pick and artificial lives. These happy
go-lucky children OF the sun defy the
parish authorities and all their works,
snap their fingers at the officers of health,
who, in despair, sprinkle them with car
bolic and depart and care not a bawbe
for all the beaks and boobies in the United
Kingdom.

SNAKES IN TROUBLE.
How an Old Farmer Cleaned Out
an Army of Black Snakes.

How an Old Farmer Cleaned Out
an Army of Black Snakes.
From, the AEddle6u, oh (PG.) Post.
Mr.. Wills. Weller, residing about two
miles south of Middleburgh, at the foot of
Shade Mountain, while engaged in clear
ing piece Of new ground on his farm
on Thursday of last week, was terribly
annoyed by the number of black snakes
on the patch. Some he killed but great
many escaped his "brush fork" and
nearly all ran in the direction OF a large
brush pile in the corner of the patch ana
close to bank over spring wRlch was
covered by a thick growth of underbrusb.
He concluded to investigate matters
little and it did not take him long to
satisfy himself that he had struck
colony of the reptiles which had taken
harbor under the pile OF dry brush.
He noticed a particularly large one
basking IN the sun few yards from the
place, and he proceeded to get rail from
the fence with which TO dispatch II, but
in so doing he broke one OF the stakes on
the fence. The noise caused by the
breaking of the stake evidently aroused
the sleeping reptiles, and he witnessed
perfect volley of snakes darling from
under the thick underbrush into the
with astonisbment. and looking up saw
no less than twenty snakes of all sizes
sticking their heads out of the brush pile.
Remembering that he had used bundle
of long straw for seat on his 'stone
boat" be fastened to get 1t, and setting
it on fire, cast il over the brush.
In an instant the whole pile was one
blaze, and he then Witnessed scene
which he save no one would ever care to
behold again. The heat was SO intense
that none Of the reptiles could possibly
escape, and they rolled out of it black,
blinded and scorched, biting at every
thing they touched, and in most instances
died with their fangs fastened in their
own charred Enthusiastically prefer
ring suicide to death in the flames.
Some darted from the outside into
the fire, madly striking at the flames,
until their bright black coats had been
turned into an ashen gray by the heat.
In fifteen minutes smouldering stump
was all that was left of the brush pile.
He was about to leave the spot, when he
ventured to look into the stump, which
was hollow, where, covered by a thin
layer of ashes, lay no less than bucket
full of snakes, resembling huge sausages
in large crock, roasted jast hard enough
to cause the flesh to drop of.

WHY HE NEVER MARRIED.
A Sad Romance in TiIden's Life
Two DisappOintments.


Two Disappointnents.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-People have often
wondered that a man of Mr.. Tilden's vast
wealth. domestic tastes and political
prominence remained bachelor all his
life. Rumor has it that during his COL
lege days at the New York University he
met aud loved the daughter of one of the
leading Democratic statesmen of that
time. She was a beautiful girl, charming
alike in the graces of her person and
OF her intellectually. Her beauty and
wit attracted many suit0rs, but MIR.
Tllden's culture and rare qualities
of mind captlvated her. He was
brilliant conversationalist and
had lofty aspirations, and the evidences
OF his ability TO achieve prominence were
so marked that the beautiful gIrl pledged
her heart and fortunes TO his Keeping.
They were engaged 10 be married 10 the
spring OF 1S47, the year after Mr.. Tilden
had become member OF the State Legis-
lature. She accompanied her father 10
Washington, where he went to spend the
winter OF that year ia looking after gov
eminent matters In which he was inter-
ested. While there she was a great fa-
v0rite in society, and entered heartily
into all it's pleasures. In the month OF
March she was stricken with brain fever,
which left her hopeless imbecile.
Not many years ago he formed an
attachment for daughter Of the late
Prof. S. Y. b. Morse, and offered her his
heart and hand. The lady did not look
with favor on his suit, although the ad-
yantages Of tina connection we're so great
and II was so warmly advocated by her
own family. Mr.. rIden's proposal was
twice declined. But mis- want CT success
made no difference In the friendly feeling
of the parties concerned, ana when,
shortly alterward, Miss Leila Morse mar
ried Mr.. Franz Rummell, the well-known
pianist, one OF the wedding presents was
a 81, 000 check from Mr.. Tilden.

always anxious to get the drop on some
