LONDON, February 6.-Mr. Gladstone's

Mr.. Michael Davitt interprets it to mean
that some settlement of the land question
in Ireland, on principles which will also
be applicable to Great Britain, must pre-
cede home rule. Mr.. Dsvitt therefore be-
lieves that the agrarisn agitation he has
steadily maintained, side by side with Mr..

its utility, may result in more immediate
benefit to Ireland than Parliamentary sgi-
tation.

letter being wholly irrelevant to my philosophy
OF the question of dress, and mine being made
responsible for criticisms Of q personal char
acter. which Miss Cleveland very properly re-
pudiated.
Whatever undeserved criticisms her private
correspondents saw fit to make, a careful peru
sal OF my letter will show that it was written

PROTECTING DUNR REASTS.
What the ssWOmen Folks i'm the Yves
End Have Accomplished.

A brick wagon drawn by pair of mules was
at the rear of some of the fine residences in the
West End, and the colored driver whistled mer-
rily as he sat on the wagon waiting for pas
sage to be cleared, so that he could drive as
near as possible to the foundation of a new
house and unload the bricks. Soon q way was
cleared. and with word to his team, the heavy
wagon was slowly tugged over the uneven
ground amid the piles of bricks and mortar
The driver then got down, pulled out the tail
board and loOsened the wagon fastenings and
then started his team ahead for a few feet In
order that the body of the wagon should slide
down on the grooves and dump the brick out.
The space for the team to move in was rather
contracted, for ahead were mortar beds and
sand and piles of board and brick, &C., but it
was only necessary to move forward a few feet
with the aggravating disposition of all mules,
instead OF stopping when called to, they kept
right on and went crashing through the boards
done all the damage they could we'll do and
having involved themselves and the wagon IN
q position that was difficult to extricate them
from. they calmly stood still in q meek, unob-
trusive attitude. The colOred driver was fairly
frantic with rage. He jumped about the ami
about such wagons, But neither struck = them hem
nor used prOfane language. After his rage had
somewhat cooled, he was heard addressing the
mules In tones OF mingled expostulation and
"If these women folks up here weren't SO
cur'u u.s." he exclaimed In indignant but conf
Dental tones to his mules, 81 would hammer
you well. Jes' az soon as a man begins to lick
his team up here them women folks complain
to the police Then you got to pay five dollars,
and you know Amt got no five dollars You
carry on this way when you get down to the
yard, If you dare, and I'll dust your ribs"
The driver went on talking and adjusting the
disOrdered harness, and one of the men who
was standing around laughed and said that the
drivers had to be careful, as they were liable to
be reported to the police for cruelty if they
were seen beating their teams. The STAR man
was told that SO many drivers had been ar
rested and fined that it was now very seldom
that teams were Ill used, at least while in that
part of the city, where, as the driver expressed
