The Young Lawyer Sends il Message to His
Frieuds-His Letter to His Brother.
A message dated at Liverpool was re-
ceived in Brooklyn on Monday last from
George r. Phmbus, the young lawyer
who disappeared on the day before
Christmas. 1t was addressed to his bro
ther, and said that he hal arrived there
all right, and had Louis Wronker with
him. He promised to write "a letter ex-
planning every thing. Phubus is young
man whom his friends thought promis-
ing. He came from Delaware, where his
father, the Rev. DR.. George Phubus,
who now lives in Brooklyn, was Me-
thod st preacher of distinction PhHbus
studied law with Colonel Charles S.

the bar. He built up respectable prac-

that he could not get out in time to save
himself; that he was going away and did
not know where he should turn up; that
he was going to reclaim himself aud that

AFTER THE SHIP CANAL.

The =. X. X. Co Said to he Seeking to
Control the Ship Canal.
An article has been extensively circu-
lated by the Peninsular press, orisna-
ting in one of the Mlddletown papers
regarding the reported meeting iu New
York, on December 29,h, of the stock
holders of the Mary land Il Delaware
Ship Canal. The purpose of the meet
| ing was said 30 have been chilly that Of
making preparations to begin work on
the proposed route In recent inter
view one Of the officials of the canal
company asserted positively that no
| such meeting was held, or is apt to be
held soon. Mr. Salkirk, the purchasing
agemt, and one Of the contractors of .he
company, stationed at Middletown,
states that the Penns, ,lvania Railroad
Company has long been negotiating for
the purchase of the canal franchise, and
asserts that the big corporation will
acco" plish its purpose before July next.
This statement, however, may be taken
with some allowance. Those through
whose lands the route of the proposed
canal runs, and who have received
money for damages, would. of course,
find themselves unexpectedly benefited
by such result. The managers Of the
canal project are said to have been
aware at the outset of the possible Offer
of the Pennsylvania company, and laid
their plans accordingly. Though thous.
ands of dollars have been expended in
paying the damage assessments, it is
doubtful if shovelful of dirt is even
dug on the great ditch. A few addi
tional thousands offered by the Penu-
sylvania, and the Maryland & Delaware
ship cam, will change rrcprietorsh; p,
ard evertu ,l'y fall into oh culity.

number of these prophets in America
to day bearing names of enviablc repu-
tation who grew up in the region of
their nativity 'unsung, unhonored, and
unknown but whose fame and dis
tinction have come across the water in
unwearied flights, there are others in
the land to day living under the shad-
ows of the same fate. America should
lay claim upon them now before it is
too late. England is always first to
recognize her heroes. Such recognl-
| ton is kind of a heroe worship we
very much like. America should keep
her eye on the deep thinker and scholar
who will present develop into the i'm
mortal bard or philosopher, and upon
the sturdy toiler in the field who will
soon become the powerful statesman
or ruler. The prophet without honor
is purely typical character, almost
national, was it not for his lack of uni
versal prominence. Give the local hero,
of whatever occupation, his due of rec
ogniton and encouragement and you
will cultivate in your midst something
of which you may some day feel proud.
The lack Of charity and humanity, the
personal aspirations for the highest place

foremost enemies of the young Roscius,

STAND FAST /!

1t has been reported recently that
there is trouble brewing in the Irish
National League, and thay impatient
Irish separationists y threaten to
withhold from Mr.. Parnell further aid
financially in case he does not Labor for
the actual separation Of Ireland from
England. ALI these stories Of rupt1lres
i'll the National League exist only in the
minds OF some designing persons, who,
although afraid to express themselves
openly on the subject, are ANXIOUS to
place obstacles in the way OF the Home
Rule party. Mr.. ParneZl has per-
formed glorious work, and to him
more than any living person may be
awarded the credit Of securing the in
PRODUCTION of bill into the British
House of Commons, which has for it's
primary object the securing of legisla-
tive independence to Ireland. Irish
men, one and all, should remain true
to their present purpose, loyal to the
Home Rule leader, and faithful to the
cause of Irish nationalism until the end
and object of their leaders, glorious
mission--the freedom OF Ireland--is ac-
complished, and not allow themselves
to be Influenced by lies that are manu-
factured for the purpose of advancing
the interests of politicians.

HOME RULE PROSPECTS.

1t can scarcely be a matter Of sur
prise that Mr. Gladstone has met with
such little opposition to the measure he
proposed On che 8th of the present
month when it is taken into considera-
tion all the difficulties he. has encoun
tered since it has become known that he
meant 20 propose bill which would ex-
tend to Ireland an independent system
of Government. The strongest objec-
tion it has met with is that his measure,
while excluding Irish representa-
tives from the British Parliament, would
give to that body the right to impose
duties Of Customs and Excise on Ire
land. Mr.. Chamberlain, in his speech,
stated that when he left the Cabinet it
was the intention of Mr.. Gladstone: to
give tos*the Irish Parliament the: fill
control of Irish CUSTOMS and. Excise.
No doubt constitutional principle q
violated by depriying Ireland of this
privilege, but it must be borne in mind
that Rome was not built in day, and
we believe this section of the bill will
eventually be 80 amended as to give the
power Of taxation where there is repre-
,sentation, Evidently Mr.. Gladstone

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The Newcastle Chronicle in criticizine
the vindictive opposition manifested to-
ward the endeavor of the Liberal party
to better the condition OF Ireland very
trsthfully remarks that the opposition
to Mr.. Gladstone's Home Rule bill is
the same which the American colonists
met in 1882. 1t basely smuggled the
union with Ireland into existence eigh-
teen years after this, and it allowed the
bitterness Of emancipation trouble to
ferment towards rebellion fer an entire
generation. It is an opposition which
never comedies anything until it is no
longer able to withhold it, Its main
spring is the traditional and deep
rooted prejudice Of the English: and
Scotch toward their Irish neighbo1s,
and the prejudice is partly political and
largely religious.
