SOME few years ago, there were 50,-
900 Irish soldiers in the armies Of
England when on peace footing.
This was over twenty-five per cent.
of the entire force. In war times this
high ratio was very nearly main
tanned. In rank and file, the sons OF
the Emerald Isle did gallant service
for the power which held her in SUBJ
lection. After long ages of oppres-
sion, misrule and injustice, the brave
sons of st. Patrick, seem to have
grown tired of their loyalty. To-day
there are but little over half the
original number of Irishmen in the
armies. In case of war this detection
would probably be very marked.
England will miss the boys from the
Shannon and the Liffey, the sons OF
those who stormed the Redan and
the Malakoff, should she get into a
tussle at the present time.

THE entire HERALD staff is busy on
the great New Years edition OF the
paper. 1t will contain twenty-four
pages of carefully selected and orig
inal matter. A feature will be
seven-page story by Bret Harte' an
other will be a complete resume oil
all the important events OF the past
year. There will be statistics oi the
business, products, etc., OF this Sec
tion. In word the twenty-four pages
will be replete with phenomenal
m ass of facts concerning Los Angeles
and her surroundings. A mammoth
edition will be published, and there
are few parts of the civilized globe
where it will not find its way. The
circulation of this edition at home
will be away up in the thousands.

A mans man for a that.


Los ANGELES is rapidly becoming
one of the great railroad centers of
the country. The importance OF the
trade of Southern California is draw
ing a second transcontinental road
here very rapidly. Not even San
Francisco can boast SO much. AT
best the Bay City has but the two
branches of the old corporation en-
tering her, and Los Angeles is no
whit behind her in this respect. Now
comes the cheering news that the A.
7. 4 S. f. system has secured a
series of links between the Missouri
river and Chicago, which completes
her line to the last named point. The
same interests are busy at work on
the grading of a road from San Ber-
nardino to Los Angeles and this will
doubtless be continued to tide
water. Before the summer is here
the link to San Bernardino will be
complete, and then Los Angeles will
have connection direct with Chicago
over one system of railroads.
By this means the city on
the lake may be reached without
change of cars. When this is accom-
plished there will be an end forever
to nearly all the railroad discussions
of the State. The Commission, which
by the way has never done anything,
may hang up it's fiddle. Like Othel-
10, its occupation will be gone. The
best thing to do would be to abolish
it. Competition is the only true REM
edy in this as in all other businesses.
With two powerful, well equipped
and independent lines to our doors,
we shall have reasonable rates, good
service and perfect attention to our
interests in all respects. The old
corporation did great service to the
whole State, and particularly to Los
Angeles, in the past. Now the time
seems to have come when the great
trade of this section will justify a Sec
ond road to do this business with
expedition and dispatch.

ENGLAND's difficulties with her
Tory Cabinet are sure to rebound to
the advantage of the cause OF
Ireland. Salisbury went into Office
on the specific policy of keeping the
Green Isle beneath the iron heel of
the Government at London. This
programme is now rudely disturbed
by that Hotspur of politics, Lord
Randolph Churchill. Ireland's
cause is a just one, and ought, there
fore, to succeed. The powers above
seem to be taking hand in her be-
half and securing for her the rights
of which she has been deprived for
ages. These powers could hardly be
engaged in a better work.

Christmas Day.

Without attempting to intrench
upon the province of the pulpits from
which the lessons of Christmas day
will be so ably inculcated, the daily
paper may be allowed to refer to this
interesting theme from its less re-
ligious standpoint.
The spread OF Christianity has GER
tainly been to the greater part OF Eu-
rope, and consequently to all Euro
pean colonies, the bringing IN OF a
much higher, and purer form OF civil
ization than could have come to them
from any other source. If it brought
in its right hand what it claimed to
be the only revealed will of Heaven
it at the same time carried in the lett
the light of earthly learning, OF law
the forces that quicken the human
mind, and stimulate progress. The
central, American idea OF equality as
enunciated in the constitution, was
preached, at least in its essential
form, ever since the "Sermon op the
Mount" was delivered. In point OF
fact, that principle was enunciated
fifteen centuries before our era
from Sinai, by the great Hebrew
lawgiver. But, under the Hebrew
system, the light was not offered 50
freely to the "Nations around" That
revelation was more exclusively the
property of the "Chosen People" !"
The gifts that to-day form one OF
the popular, but less important fea-
lures OF the feast are but the crea-
tions of that spirit of kindness which
comes OF the implanting OF this idea
that caste, and rank and wealth and
titles are not the characteristics OF
manhood. 1t is, after all, only the
idea OF the Scotch poet.
1.-THE rank is but the Guinea's stamp,
A mans man for a that
The status of children, and women,
of all weak and dependent beings,
has been immeasureably uplifted in
this civilization of which, SO far as
the world at large goes, Christmas is
the natal day. There are few gifts oil
the life we live, even in material
temporalities which are not traceable

The Science OF Silence.

He who has learned the science of 81
lence may hide ignorance and even ac-
quire a reputation for knowledge and
wisdom A story is told of the painter
Zeuxis, how he reprovcd n certain high
priest of Great Diana Of the Ephesians,
who discoursed of pictures in the artists
studio with SO reckless an audacity of ig-
norance that the very lads who were
grinding colors could not refrain from
giggling, whereupon Z,uyis sud to his
to eloquent friend, GAS long as you kept
from talking you were the admiration of
the boys, who were all wonder ut your
rich attire and the number of your SER
wants; but now that you have vcntured
to expatiate upon the arts of which you
know nothing, they are laughing at you
outright" Denouncing the vapid YER
biage.o of shallow praters, Carlyle cxclaims,
Given Triviality and Imbccility, that
can sit silent, how respectable are they
in comparison!" It was said of one who
has taken for a great man SO long as he
held his peace: ''This man might have
been a councillor of State till he spoke;
but having spoken, not the beadlc of q
ward" Lord Lytton tells the story of a
groom married to a, rich lady, and in
consequent %trcpidation of being ridiculcd
by the guest in his new home. An Ok
ford clergyman gave him this advice:
'Wear q black coat, and hold your.
tongue" The groom was o consid-
cred the most gcntlcmanly person in the
country. Silence is an excellent foil for
conversation. A clever person makes his
talk far moro delightful by i~nterposing
occasional flashes of silence, as Sydney
Smith said Macaulay did on his return
from India.-Quicer.

Americas Wealth.

In 1850 the total wealth of the United
States was So, 43O, 900, 900 while that Of
the United Kingdom exceeded $22, $780,
600, 600, OF nearly three tines that sum-.
Thirty short years sutficcd to reverse the,
positions of the respective countries. In
1882 the Monarchy was possessed of a
golden load of no less than eight thous-
and, seven hundred and twenty millions
sterling. Just pause a moment to see
how this looks when strung out in cold
figures; but do not try to realize what it
means, for mortal man cannot conceive
it. Herbert Spencer need not travel so
far afield rs to teach the "unknowable p
He has it right here under his very eyes.
Let him try to "know" the import OF
this-$43, 600, 600, 900! It is impossible.
But %stupendous as this seems, it is ex-
ceeded by the wealth of the Republic,
which in 1880, two years before, amount
ed to $4s, $50, 600, 900. What a mercy
we write for 1880; for had we to give
the wealth of one year later another fig-
urc would have to be found and added
to the interminablc row. Americas
wealth to-day greatly exceeds ten thous-
and millions sterling.-Andrew Carnegie.

Few persons, perhaps, are aware that
they possess a pair of harps. They are
called the organs of Corti, after their
~discoverer, and are located in the ear.
They are estimated to have s, 700 strings,
being, of course, microscopic and varying
in length from $500 to 1900 of an inch.
If you hold a properly tuned violin near
q piano when the E string is struck the
E violin string will vibrate and sound
too; SO with all the rest. Now, the
$500 strings of the human ear harp have
such 6 wide compass that any appreciablc
sound in the universe has the CORES
ponding tone string, and the sound is
conveyed through the connecting fila
ment to the auditory nerve, thence to the
sensorium, and thus.a knowledge of the
sound is received by the mind.
