A Glasgow correspondent writing to
the Cleveland Leader, says: The country
scenes ali over Ireland are far different
from those Of America. The people have
a strong brOgue, and though those OF
the cities dress the same as we do, out IN
the country districts you find some Of
the quaint knee-breeches peasants whom
you see In the old Irish prints. In the
cities, at the railroad stations, and IN the
hotels, there is a great display of brass
buttons and gaudy hveries. The rail
road men all wear bright cOlors, and the
pOrters have caps with scarlet bands
around them, while their usual suit is Of
a yellow yelveteen. The guards or the
conductors Of the trains are dressed In
blue and many buttons, and the govern
ment officials connected with TIE post
office mail service have a striking uni
form. met one Of them at a station
between the lakes of Killarney and Dub
lin. He was a mail dispatcher, changing
the mails at the depot to a number Of
trains, examining the seals of the mail
bags, and being responsible for them
during their stay at this station. He had
been seventeen years in the service, and
had three gold bands on his coat, each
of which indicated five years term OF
good behavior, and each Of which gave
him twenty-five cents a week extra pay.
The British soldiers are another set Of
uniformed men whom you viii find
everywhere in Ireland. They wear
gaudy red uniforms, and the cavalry
galiop through the streets of the cities
amid the scOWls and curses Of the Irish.
South and central Ireland has no love
for England The American flag is
oftener seen than the union Jack, or the
flag of Great Britain, and in the many
professions 1 have seen I have yet to see
one British flag, while find the stars
and stripes everywhere. In the pro
cession in Dublin bidding goodbye to
Lord Aberdeen, there were over 100
American flags carried, and not one sin
gle British one. L heard curses against
England frequently, and the Irish 1 met
outside Of Belfast and the north made no
bones Of expressing their sentiments.
England now keeps an army in Ireland
as large as that Of the whole United
States. II numbers, I am told, about
10000.

New wonder

Inyo (Cal.) Register.
Sheepmen lately in town reported
remarkable condition Of nffairs in exist
ence at a point in the Sierras some thirty
miles south Of this place, the exact 10
cality OF which, however, We have not as
yet ascertained. 1t appears that the
scene Of action Is near the extinct vol
canoes whose lava flow extends across
the valley below Fish Springs; this is
little more than a surmiss, however. At
any rate, the Sierras there present on the
west a steep wall. For some years past
the sheePmen driving their fOcks
through the mountains have noticed
with great wonder the presence Of a ifs
sure in the mountain side; when first
noted it was hardly more than a mere
line, but each succeeding visit has shown
the rift TO be wider than it was the year
before, till it is now at least O foot wide
and mile long. The break extends al
most due north and south, and, Judging
from its nature, those who have seen it
believe it to be IN gomeway connected
with the terrific activity which shaped
/ all the surroundings. The walls, as far
as a lowered candle reveals, 90 down
VERT cally without approaching one an
other in the slightest degree. Stones
dropped in are heard to rumble for some
time on their way to the interior of the
earth. That the rift is practically faith
Onaless is certain; besides the depth
shown by dropping stones into it, the
| air at the mouth is very much warmer
! than elsewhere, showing connection with
| the hot interior. Small animals held
! over the chasm are not affected no more
than is q lighted candle. The rapid
| growth Is size Of this mysterious hole In
the ground during the last year is sup
| posed to be connected with the increased
earthquake activity during the time. No
matter what the explanation may be,
/ the phenomenon is a remarkable one and
is certainly worthy OF a scientific invesit-
] cation

First Horses In the Sandwich Islands
In 1903 Captain Richard Cleveland, Of
! Salem, took to the Sandwich Islands
several horses, an event thus recorded in
his life by his son just published by the
/ Harpers.
/ Touching at Cape st. Lucas, where
/ they purchased another pretty mare
/ with fOal-for which they paid in goods
which cost In Europe S1.50-they took
/ their departure on the 3Oth of May, and
/ arrived at KarakarOa Bay, Sandwich Is
/ lands, On the Dist Of June. They found
1t was the season Of periodical taboo,
during which no canoes were allowed TO
/ stir but the next day John Young came
on board and told them that the king
was at hOWee.
Young was very DESTROYS Of having
1 one Of the horses, and thinking that the
probability Of their increase would be
better secured by leaving them IN diff
ferent places, they next day removed to
TOoagah Bay, near YOung's residence,
and landed the mare, Of which he took
charge. This was the first horse ever
seen in OWyhee, and naturally excited
great establishment among the natives.
From here they went to AoWee and
were first boarded by Isaac Davis, who,
with John Young, comprised ut that
time the European population OF the
islands.
Soon after large double canoe came
OF, from which a powerful built, athletic
man, nearly naked, came on board and
was introduced by Davis as Tamaahmaah
the great king. His reception Of them
was not such as they had anticipated,
nor could they account for his apparent
GOODNESS and lack OF interest, except on
the supposition that it was mere affecta-
ton. He took only a careless look at the
horses and returned to the shore without
expressing any curiosity about them.
His subjects, however, were not re-
strained by any such desire to appear
uncOncerQed. The news Of the arrival
Of the wonderful animals spread rapidly,
the decks were crowded with visitors,
and the next day, when they were
landed, a great multitude had assem- bled,
evidently with no definite conception Of
any use that could be made Of them.
As might be expected from people who
had never seen a larger animal than
pig, they were at first afraid to approach
them, and their amazement reached its
climax when one Of the sailors mounted
the back Of one OF them and galloped up
and down upon the beach. They were
greatly alarmed at first for the safely Of
the rider, but when they saw how COM
pletely he controlled the animal, and
how submissively and quietly the latter
exerted his powers in obedience to his
VIII, they seemed to have dawning con-
ception of the value of such a possession,
and rent the air with shouts OF admira-
ton.
The king, however, could not be be-
trayed into any expression Of wonder or
surprise, and, although he expressed his
thanks when told they were intended as
a present to himself, he only remarked
that he could not perceive that their
ability to carry a man quickly from one
place to another would be a sufficient
Compensation for the great amount Of
Of food they would necessarily require.
General Sherman says he never voted
in his life and he never expects to vote
or be voted for.

[ trate TO the intersticss Of the strips. A
Light fire Is Of advantage, as it promotes
the drying, by which the Eind becomes
! 5rmer, taking a crisp, horny texture,
| protecting the pulp from bruising.
The next step is selecting, removing
/ all bruised, thOEn-pricked, or injured
/ fruit into separate lots. This, which
should proceed arranging on drying
floors or shelves, to avoid contact, is fol
! lowed by separating the rusty fruit from
the bright yellow. If this is carefully
done, a selection may be made OF rusty
fruit in which the bronze contrasts pref
tily with the gold on the orange, like the
bloom on the peach. As the rust In no
way imPairs flavor or iuiciness, a we'll
selected box OF rust fruit compares with
the "brights."
Sorting is putting oranges Of the same
diameter in separate heaps. The next
step is wrapping. A thin tissue paper is
used, cut into squares Of twelve or four
teen inches, the Florida sweet seeding
averaging ten inches IN circumference;
OblOng, egg, mandariGn being smaller.
Setting thefruit on the sheet spread on
the open palm, closing the hand unites
the corners for a twist Of the right hand,
and 1t iE wrapped The "a nit is. packed
in thin elastic boxes, 12z12x27 outside
measurement-the wrapped orange is
packed stem doWn-and, If an average
three-inch diameter, viii hold four rows,
or 156. The usual continent Of the south
Florida fruit, however, is 1913, packed APP
pie above apple, with paper division to
each layer.
The packing boxes are divided in the
middle, the ends and partitions being Of
firm half-inch wood and the sides hexi-
bic. By arranging the fruit differently,
as is required in sizes exceeding or less
than average diameter, space is econo-
mized by alternating the rows to fit the
diverse and re-entering curves. a size
running I76 can be set by alternate
threes and fours, and be so packed.
The process is delicate. The packing
must be close, fitting with even pressure
without bruising, to bear the jarring Of
careless stevedOres and 'lOngshoremsn,
who annually eZasperate the crOpper. In
fitting the box a layer or paper is put at
the bottom and one Tapped above and
below, so that the fold, after the success
sive layers are kclosely fitted, may lap
over and cover the top. This upper row
should raise not to exceed a quarter Of
an inch above the box edging, that, on
mailing down the elastic top, the spring
Of wood fiber in it may have a firm, con
slant pressure, to resist jarring and dis
placement.

PHIIIIPSBURG. KANSAS. SATURDAY., OCTOBER IS 1886

/ Wilson, with his entire party, had been

/ news. Then the bereayed family re-

The past summer, however, Mrs. San
/ born felt compelled by some strange in
/ tuition to write back to an uncle in Pom
/ tiac, Ill. From him she learned that her
father, so long mOurued as dead, had
been alive up to 1880, in New Mexico,
but had then died, leaving a large prop
erty, called the HOmestaks mine, at
White Oaks. z. 3. Sheer, of this city,
WIS able TO give some more information
concerning the owner Of the Homestake,
and a very convincing description. John
Wilson, son of the lost man, started i'm
mediately from Durango to White Oaks
to look into the matter and, II possible,
to get possession Of his fathers body.
On the stage, at COrinth. Mr.. Wilson
learned that it was not John b. Wilson,
Of the HOmestake, but his partner, John
Winters. who had died.
The excitement with which he then
pursued his journey can better be i'm
agined than described.
At White Oaks the son approached the
father In a general business way until
thoroughly convinced OF his identity.
t.Have you a family" he asked.
''Yes, but don't know where they are.
This fall mean to look them up"
He gave all their names, and, as John
Wilson says, they tailed to a dot
Next the son asked: Anything
familiar about NET"
"Wel, I'm your sen John

"No, no." the father replied, at can't
He didn't seem able to realize it;
thought it all joke. This mani Why,
he was in short dresses twenty years
agOl
Come into the light" he said, "and
let me see you with your hat OF"
For a full half hour they looked at
each other, exchanged letters and photo
graphs, and it is needless to add that
each mans identity was thoroughly
established, and an affectionate reunion
followed.
The old gentleman, still hale man at
IS years, explained how letters had
failed him, and finally even OF the old
Illinois friends he could hear nothing of
his family. Then, disheartened, he
drifted westward and devoted himself to
gaining wealth, always hoping and
dreaming OF reunion some time. The
rest Of the story is told. The reunion is
to come next month, we are told, when
Mr.. Wilson is to visit his daughter in
this city.
The happiness Of all concerned is too
great to talk about.

1t is not undressing to note how the
evictiOns so far have served the land
lords financially. They have not got a
sixpence OF either the rent or the costs
OF the proceedings, and the costs are $50
per cent. in excess OF the total rent. The
rent to be recovered on the properties
was only q trifle over 600, and beyond
a doubt ESQ would not cover the ex-
Penses Of the failure to collect the sum.
