NATIVES OF COUNTY CORK.

Potatoes Twenty-Ono Times a week-In
Typical African Interview.
The diet of the Irishman in this part
of the country is, of course, potatoes and
milk. As he himself puts it, he has po-
tatoes twenty-one times a week. In the
event of a blight, such as the historic
one. the result in certain parts of Ireland
could scarcely be less disastrous than at
any former period. If one may judge
from the physique of his consumers, the
diet requires no recommendation of the
medical faculty, for a more stalwart race
it would be difficult to find. In this cor
ner of the country SO long preserved, :"
we should expect to find the natural
Irishman, and we certainly found him,
The native Irish is almost universally
spoken; but at the same time the major.
ity of the younger generation speak Eng.
lish with a brogue of the most exquisit,
flavor.
Here, also, we have the lrishman in
the typical attire to which c~aricaturists
have accustomed us. To the visitor from
the other island, it is n ludicrous picture
to see him in tall hat, blue tailed coat,
NfA0 Nv win III tAA
wretched plot, like a philosopher out fol
a little recreation. 1t is not SO much the
style of his garments, however, that
makes their picturesqueness; it is then
positively miraculous r~aggedness. We
feel that this r~aggedness has quite passed
the stage Of disreputability, and has
actually become ornamentation. But il
is above all the hat that fixes the atten-
ton. We have often closely inspected
it, and our wonder never ceased how, in
the course of a single life, any hat, how
ever weather-beaten and however
brutally used, could attain that pre-
Adamite look.
1t is the great charm of travel in Ire
land that n can become acquainted
with its people in so short a time and on
such easy terms. The Irishman is the
most approachable of human beings, and
as the very lrishman the stranger wishes
to know is in most cases his own lord
and master, intercourse Is thus made
doubly easy. If in the course of a soil
tary walk you should desire the solace OF
n little conversation you have but to take
your seat N one Of the turf walls that
form the fences in these parts of the
country. II you are a smoker and pro
duce your pipe, you will present an ad.
ditional inducement. Before you are
well seated you will be saiuted with: "A
fine day sir. God be praiseol" and a care.
less figure will be seen approaching with
a spade or pickax over his shoulder.
Sharing your tobacco with him it will
remain with yourself TO conclude the in.
terview. Before ten minutes have passed
you will have had the outlines of his fam.
lily history, and his views on things in
general, not even excepting his priest.
At the end of as many hours converse
ton as you please he will speed you on
your way with a fervent God preserve
you longl" and part with you as if you
had been his lifelong friend. Cham

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
Of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
Of the kidneys or neighboring organs. AT
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
hatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspira.ion, producing a
very disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, a~llaying
the intense itching, and effecting a per-
manent cure. Price so cents. Address

Did ever the sound of a snatch of song,
Whistled in careless tune,
Float in you mind the whole day long,
Taking You back to June?
Did ever the scent of a good cigar,
Blown on the breath OF the evening air,
Bring to you memories differeAt by far
Not of tobacco at all, ma chereS
What do you think a violet said
In this same magical wayi
Nothing at all of the garden bed
Where it bloomed until to-day.
A walk in the moonlight, with none to

The clasp Of the hand that is lear to me;
A passionate thrill, a kiss in the dark,
The yiolet's scent brought near to me.

ONE of the very striking and per
 haps the most deplorable results of the
 American method of conducting politI-
 cal campaigns arises from the intense
 and unnatuRl fervor with which partisan
 advocacy is conducted. From the warm
 and manly contest that should charac
 ter!ze an b norable campaign, the en-
 thusiam of the multitude Is too often
 worked mp to pitch of intensity bor-
 deTing the utmost limits of the reason.
 the outgrowth of which is sometimes a
 bitter personal enmiiy and prol nged
 b tired. Where party spirit runs so high 1t leaves @ alsstinE effect uuon the iudlvil-
 Ial that IS sOmetime carried into the
 business affairs. even to liruit ot iu-
 federation. IL Is strange indeed, that m-B possessing a common opinion uUon
 certain principles shonld reg I'd like
 opposing faction as belonging to dIfT-r-
 ent species Of humanity. We are cog
 ulzant of individual democrats who spurn all social relations with the most
 Upright republicans pGrely on partisan
 grounds, and there are republicans
 equally as depraved This IS wrong, and while it is manly and noble to
 warmly defend ones honest opinions. it
 IS iEnoble to tyrauuize and terrorize
 with voice and muse e where calm argu- ment cannot convince. In our under standing Of the principles oi the repub- licau party We wonder that SO many h. teiligent and cultured gentlemen ar rsyed with tne opposition can view them 70 differently. and while our mutual arguments may fail to convert eIthvs to the faith of the other, We lose DO esteem for the honorable opponent who acts his honest sentiments. There is too much inhumanity ID politics as Gt present conducted. IL Is not true that "every- thing Is fair in Q political campaign, and II is time that the self-respect of tue electors should clothe tLeIr high right of suffrage with dignity and purity in keeping with the l of the privilege.

 The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by dIs ease. II they who are weak. bilious. dyspeptic. constipated rheumatic. would oftener be guided by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would m every instance obtain the speediest aid derIvable from rational medication. This medicine is a searching and at the same time a thoroughly safe remedy. derived from vegetable sources, and possessing. m consequenee of its basis of pure spirits, properties as \ medIcin- al stimulant not to be found in the fiery local bItters and stimuiants often resorted to by the debilitsted, dyspeptic and lsnguid.

WEEKLY CITIZEN.
THE recent murder of Capt. Wicker

HE recent murder of Capt. Wicker sham and wife, in Sonoma county, California, by their Chinese cook, has started anew the anti-Chinese excite ment on the Pacific coast, and meetings are being called to consider the situa- ton. It is well known that the Chinese do not place a high value upon human life and more particularly upon the life of an American. The crime of murder IS an accomplished science among them, and unless caught in the act, 1t is next to impossible to apprehend the perpe- trstor after he has confided his story to his countrymen. They defy every law of our land and the only good that can be said of them Is that they work chesply. The San Francisco newspapers have shown from statistics that consti- tute incontrovertIble evidence, that about one million dollars h coin and refined bullion IS sent out of that city monthly by the Chinese to the Flowery Kingdom, none of which ever finds its way back 70 our shores. This is seri- ous drainage of our precious metals without any tangible return to show for 1t. This Is the grayest objection io that race, and they do not hesitate to confess that when they accumulate sufficient riches to satisfy their greed that they will say good bye to American shores. They are practically parasites upon the body polite and exist as fungus upon the Joins of our labor industries The civilized American cannot hope to com pete with the Mongol. Should he at tempt to do so, and shape his household snd sbits after their model of economy, our laws would consign him 10 the wards Of an asylum as of unsound mind, or to the cells of the prison as a dangerous nuisance. Even though it could be per mitted. would it not be a national calamity to debase labor to such a depth and practically establish peon- age, a mockery of our boasted liberty? The URIted States brides itself upon its recognition Of, and compensation tc, its laboring classes. and It Is in the propor- ton of their prosperity that the nahon progresses. To strike a blow at the foundation of our political and social edIfice Is like saving of the limb be- twixt yourself and the tree. It Is di- rect retrogressiOn that marks the deca- dence of our national existence and l, is full of dangers.
 The agitation against this insidious race Is wise movement, so long as 1t is based upon reason aud Is devoid of law less acts. IL Is founded n principles i Tight and Justice and must triumph.

IN 1S49, the California pioneers ridi- culed the idea that wheat could be grown in that state. So now, there are many outsIders-Rnd not few in our miist-who believe this territory will never be good for anything but mineral and bugs, with a little stock raising thrown In. Yet, We can raise here any description of fruit that grows in Cali fornia and ship it from two to five weeks earlier than the earliest product of that state. As soon as the fact is thoroughly understood in the east, we shall see a large immigration to Arizona of such persons as are now paying the fancy prices asked for land in Los Angeles What We must do is to pull together for Arizona, as 6 whole. Narrow. sec tional prejudices must be buried out of sight First make outsiders understand that we can raise many things here be- sides centipedes and scalps and then 1t will be early enough to discuss the vary ing advantages of different sections.- Epitaph.

ARIZONA, n E poInt of the develop ment Of its natural resources, is practl- caliy new and almost unknown couu- try. The first attraction followed the discovery of some of the rich mines, md an occasional tract of favored soll Wal cultivated In desu.Iory manner. but It
 was not until the railroad pushed its way through the Territory that the flood of people came. They Were at- tracted by the glItterns possibilities of neT country and embraced the first promi-ing opportunity t. engage iI profitable enterprise. Like California of the earlier days, the barren and deso- late looking lands were considered of DO agricultural value, and that industry has been sadly neglected, save along some of our favorIng water courses. The time has now arrived when the ex- pertinent of creating permanent homes IS being thought of. The waters Of the Giillss, Salt and San Pedro rivers are al- ready utilized to great extent for irri- getion and fertile farms and prolific orchards have taken the place of mesqCit brush and cactus. As the valley lands become absorbed by settlers other means for irrigation are being sought and We find the experimental stage of our de- velOpments full of theory and without much practical knowledge. If arteslsn water can be procured III our b-oad valleys there Is no lImit to the prosperity of the future. We know that water in abundance exists beneath the soil, but the experiment of bringing it to the sur face Is yet untried. We believe thGt all the semi-tropical fruits that flourish in southern California will grow equally well in Arizona, but the experiment. has not been made. These are matters of public concern and they should be en- couraged and assisted by the several counties and the territorial and general government. Not only should srtesian wells he sunk, but there should be a governmental survey of the water sheds | and the advantageous points for the | storage of water for artificial irrigation. | When these matters are successfully | demonstrated there will be DO time lost l in their utilization in the development Of | our natural resources, and our territory | will very soon present attractions even | superior to those of southern California.
