the County Waterford, Ireland, and was
educated at the school of the Christian
Brothers, Of the city Of that name.
While at school he gave promise of
superior ability as a speaker, and at the
early age Of eighteen delivered 4 lecture
with impressive force. It's subject was
"Oliver Goldsmith" significant of the
superior literary taste of the young ora
tor.
Mr.. Sections first employment after
leaving school was as clerk in the of.
flee of the Waterford and Limerick rail-
way, which he won as the result of
competitive examination. lie held the
clerkship three years.
1t was in 1869 that Mr.. Sexton made
his first appearance on political plat
form. There was vacancy in the
representation OF the city. Three can
didates were in the feld-Sir Henry
Winston Barron, an old Wing Catholic /;
Ralph Bernal Osborne, another old
Wing, and Samuel Thomas Grub, a
retired merchant. None of the three
candidates are row alive. Mr. Grub
simply wanted to be proposed so as to
make speech and retire. Mr.. SextOn's
name had just been placed on the roll
of Parliamentary voters, giving him
right TO take part in the proceedings,
and he saw bis opportunity for a
speech. When he rose in the centre Of
the courthouse to propose Grub he
received an enthusiastic ovation. The
high sheriff, astonished at Sections
boyish appearance, asked gentleman
who sat near him whether the speaker
was voter. The future legislator
made an eloquent appeal in favor Of
Mr.. Grub, and the latter SUISSE
quently retired, leaving the field be-
tween Barron and Osborne.
Previous to his election as a member
Of Parliament, about five years ago,
Mr.. Sexton was on the staff Of the Dub
lin Nation. Since his election to the
House Of Commons he has devoted his
whole time to parliamentary work and

SCENE u.-FROM THE ANTIPoDES
TO FLORENCE.


1t is midwinter in New Zealand.
The binding glare of the burning
noontide is almost intolerable, and the
vertical rays of semi-tropical sun are
beating pitilessly upon the wild wealth
of blossoms in Palma Bardi's garden
bewildering prOfusion of roses min
gled with q strange fora unfamiliar to
European eyes. Roses and sunshine
everywhere as far as eye can reach /;
the trailing scented sprays fling their
burden of blossoms across the neglect
ed paths and thrust their fragrance in
unbidden at every window.
But where is Palma Bardi-the mis-
tress of this free, unfettered beauty
herself the fairest, strangest, most trop-
ical blossom Of this strange, fair gar
den?
Enter yonder spacious airy chamber
in the long white house Palma has
called home" for six brief months.
The trumpet-shaped scarlet flowers Of
the giant creeper make the still air
sickly with their perfume the blinds
are drawn over the open windows, and
the shutters outside are fast closed.
The cool air and silence of the dim
room are sudden, almost violent con-
trast to the light and life outside. A
light that blinds you with its bright
ness; life that exults and runs riot
in tie pride and strength Of its growth.
1t is sultry noon, and the silence of
the darkened room is almost oppressive.
Tread softly; look with reverence on
the sleeping face of the chambers
only occupant. Does it startle you
in its fixed, calm repose? A peace
that life can never know has fallen
there, and this sleep is calm and dream
less at least. There Seems no room for
pity-no need Of tears.
BY what inexplicable freak of nature
has the likeness of famous Roman En-
press yclept Faustina been caught from
some antique coin and stamped upon
the living marble of this nineteenth
century Italian woman--Faustina or
Palma lying calm and silent on that
white bed? Asleep or waking is it -"
White draperies about her peaceful
couch; the subtle, passionate scent Of
white flowers filling the air with heavy
odors, while their pure petals, white
and light as fallen snow, are scattered
thickly on her coverlet-
White lilies on her whittier breast.
our golden Palma lies at rest.
At rest? And We last saw her, fash
Ing with jest and laughter, crowned

a mum or of platform men can be given

ply at onoe to T. S. GENUNG, Agent"
How well this advertisement has been
answered is seen by their work III East ST.

ing the peaceful negotiations solicited by
the board of arbitration you and you alone
