Speech of Churchill.

LONDON, October 26.-In a speech last
night Lord Randolph Churchill said:
Official accounts reaching the government
Of the social condition and prospects OF
Ireland are of an encouraging character.
There is a good harvest and a marked re-
covery in prices, and from all we learn, &C.
curate information is difficult to obtain.
Rents are being generally paid throughout
the country. Landlords have helped greatly
to lessen the difficulties OF the Crisis.
Though they belong to a body OF men that
never met with overmuch ~jastice in Eng
land, and therefore was justified in stand.
Ing out for their complete rights and
the strict letter Of the law,
thew have generally made very
large reductions and government is i'm
mensely indebted to them for the generous
spirit they have displayed, (Cheers).
Irish tenants also nave o.operated IN q
signal manner toword the restoration or
der. The Separatist party in the House OF
Commons predicted that a terrible time
was coming in Ireland. Parnell in a beg
sing letter implored American dollar IN
order to prevent the wholesale extermlna-
ton of the Irish. Nothing OF the kind has
occurred or is likely to occur although
there are still isolated districts in Ireland
where terror and crime is rampant winch
may call for special treatment with
this exception. There is a marked
decrease in crime and disorder;
people are rapidly approaching the Jul
significance of the last appeal to the eiec-
tors and will gradually shape their patlence
and social actions in accordance therewi'h
II the Unionists follow W. the victory 5hey
have gained, l think we may conciude
without any doubt or hesitation, that tht
question of the maintenance or appeal O
the union is settled for at least two gener
atoms to come.

McDONALD'S MUSCLE,
Which Proves too Much for Nebraska's
Champion in Eight Rounds.

An audience of about 400 people, com
posed of all classes of citizens, was present
at ~Cunningham's Hall. Omaha, last Sat
urday evening to witness the glove contest
between James Mccormack, champion
heavy weight of Nebraska, n duncan
Mcdonald. the champion of Montana.
The agreement called for eight rounds,
MARQUIS of Queensbury rules, for points
only. and this, says the Omaha Herald,
was strictly adhered to, not the least evi-
dence OF ''sluggipg' being noticeable
throughout the contest-it not being nee.
essarv on the part Of Mcdonald, and
Nc, ,ormack not being able to dealhis oppo-
nent anv more punishment if he wanted so.
No time was lost in choosing a referee, as
both principals were willing to allow Will
liam McCune, of the Wide West show, to
serve in that capacity. After the officials
that John P. Glow, of Denver, challenged
tn. winner of the match, and then time was
called on the following story:
Round both men came up quickly,
sparred a few seconds. aud then Mcdonald
commenced tapping his opponent wherever
and whenever he pleased, knocking McCor
mack down once, which virtually settled
the contest, Mccormack not appearing to
any great advantage throughout the rest
OF the contest.
Round 2-McDonald pounded McCor-
mack in the bread basket, on the neck and
mouth just about as he pleased.
Round 3-Bvth came to the scratch
smiling. but McCormack's was q sickly one,
while Duncan's was evidently one OF amuse-
ment. The latter began to show his ex.
nertness with his left hand by visiting
Iames' mouth with the back of it when
| over he wished to.
Round 4-McCormack was sick and Nc
| Donald gave an exhibition of fancy spar
| ring.
Round 5-McDonald appeared asfresh az
ever, with James still very sick. Mcdonald
gave James a hard one with his right in thu
stomach, and had him completely at hit
mercy, and then commenced giving another
exhibition of what he could do with an op
ponent who was anywhere near his equa
in science.
Round 6-McDonald again visited his op
~nonent's stomach and then continued hi
scientific exhibition.
Round Mccormick appeared a lttl!
better, but did not get anywhere near wei
enough to do him any good.
Round 8 and lasrMcDonald made {
perfect show of his opponent, he talked tt
him to draw his attention, which he sue
ceeded in doing several times. and thel
would slap him to draw DIS mlnd On ID
, work before him. This was undoubty tn
most comical round ever witnessed in tn
ring. This round concluded the contest
and the referee announced that Mcdonald
had won. Il.
) At the conclusion of the match McDonal
announced that he would accept Glow
9 challenge, and would meet him or bis req
sentative anywhere they wished.
