The Slandorar.

Unless IL be the iibertine, there Ia no
being more TO be dreaded than the
slanderer. The venom of the latter
enters the abodes OF innocence and vir.
tue, In spite OF bolts and bars. The
Shiny trail OF the slanderer stands oal
in bold relief upon the white back
grounds OF purity and there are none
whose characters, though spotless nj
snow, secnre from his polluted touch
SANDER Is ready weapon, used often
in jest In repartee, and In common
every day conversation when no harm
10 meant. There is no telling the
amount OF injury even seemingly
harmless inuendo may do, nevertheless
1t 10 q species OF Islander that like The
sickly sirocoo OF the desert waited FROM
the poisonous Upas tree, withers and
blights all upon which 1t blows. Many
people become slAnderers when they
do not mean to become 30. 1t Is &c
very easy and unfortunately sometimes
too agreeable to keep slanderous To-
sinua.ion on the wing. 81 heard sc
and So" seems like an innocent express
sion, and yet 1t 10 an expression sur
rounded by an unhealthy atmosphere.
1t breathes OF something hidden, an
author that must be kept in the back
ground. II may not be injurious, bat
it may become 30 as 1t travels and
gathers force As 1t goes. IL does not
take 1t long to become Islander OF the
most malignant type. II goes from
tongue to tongue never losing any
thing, but most sure to gather fresh
force and velocity. The influence Of
SANDER upon society, who can estimate
Its dangers? Who can fathom the
depth Of misery and woe Of which 1t ia
the author? 1t is hard to conceive OF q
more despioable creature than the
slanderer who would break down the
character OF q neighbor; who would
blast the expectancy OF future life;
who would invade the sanctity OF II
household and with polluted tongue
cast whitening blight upon the char
acter Of those who are striving to live
virtuous and honorable lives. None
need envy the reputation and character
Of q slanderer. In . forest Of living
trees, he would be the black, charred
stump; in . garden of flowers he would
be the poisonous vine; In church the
hypccrite, and In society the demon.
The only way to escape the Influences
of the slanderer Is to live consis-
tent and pure lives Then the breath
of Islander can never tsrnish them.

Imagine yourself in Paris
and thinking Where is the
man who weaves those won.
derful linens? that little man
in the little shop in the little
street. the linen that every
body hears OF, the man and
shop and street that nobody
knows of, where is the little
man whose work goes over
the world and leaves the
man obscure unknown"
You needn't 60 to Paris
and lose yourself in trying
to hunt him out.
Just now his towels. They

fine French towels. Not

THERE is LIKELY to be trouble
amongst the Democrats Of New York
at the approaching Mayoralty election.
Horny George has been nominated by
the LABOR party as its candidate, and
he has accepted the nomination. Not
only that, bat he expects to be elected !.
and he intends to leaven no stone un-
turned to accomplish his election.
Thirty thousand signatures were OBJ
tanned TO q petition asking him to &C.
cept the nomination, and as a good
many more thousands of laboring mer
will vote for him, the chances that hi
will draw enough votes from the Demo
cratic party TO elect the Republican
candidate seems very bright.

FRIDAY BIER 1. 1856.
Turning the Screws on Ireland.

Mr.. PARCEL, in his late appeal to
Irish- Americans, gives warning Of q
crisis now imminent In England and
Ireland. II is evident that the very
large majority. In Parliament against
the tenants Relief bill" will leave the
unfortunate occupants OF the soil en-
tirely ut the mercy Of their landlords.
To the eyes Of Americans the British
Government is entering upon o very
Objectionable course OF repression.
Having made itself sure OF the support
OF the Liberal Union faction in Parlia-
mont, IL seems to have resolved to re-
ject nearly every measure proposed by
the Irish representatives.. The privi-
legged classes--too much privileged now
are TO be actively enlisted on the side
Of the landlord Is against the tenant,
and evicsions are to be invested with
the full authority Of the Grown. Pro-
cess servers are to have a regiment OF
men II necessary to carry out their pur.
poses, and the landlords are to be pro-
teoted In all their suits for ejectment.
The tenants are TO be made to pay the
judicial rem ls or take the consequences
OF their poverty and despair. The
power OF the government is to be ar.
rayed against q poverty-stricken ten
antry during the approaching winter OF
famine and misery. England Is Ger.
tatnly entering upon the wrong course
20 conquer lasting peace. Jealous Of
the few rights the Irish people have
left, they will not tamely submit to
such heartless tyranny. By the course
the government is pursuing 1t would
indicate that 1t had thrown aside every
restraint and Was determined 10 invite
the very worst the Irish people can in
vent or devise against them. A trodden
worm will turn upon the heel that
brushes II, and these crushed Irish peo-
pie will surely turn upon the hand that
Expresses them.
Mr.. PArnell, In looking over the field,
makes an urgent appeal to the friends
Of Ireland In America, asking for ma
tsrial aid and moral support for tenants
who may be threatened with or exposed
10 eviction Hs says II their rents are
oppressively high they must be enoour-
aged to stand out against their land
lords, and II they are elected from their
holdings they must be shielded from
starvation and despair. The approach.
ing crisis will test to the uttermost
their powers OF self restraint. Injustice
and merciless execution Of the law
will stimulate evil passion and desire
lcr revenge. Agrarian outbreaks, al
ways to be objected to. may be expect
ed, and riots will compromise the
peaceable character Of the Nationalist
movement.
For this reason Mr.. Parnell thinks
there should be large fund raised In
this country for the relief OF the evicted
tensnts. He warns those whose gen.
erous impulses have been 90 often
stirred that the perils with which the
Home Rule cause is now beset have
seldom been equsled In the troubled
hietory OF Ireland. II aid is not sent
to these helpless PEOPLE we may expect
large increase in emigration to this
country TO set in, which Is hardly de.
sirsble at the present time in view OF
the already depressed and troubled
condition of labor, manufactures and
business in general.

is very fairly constituted, being com
posed OF three Democrats, two Republi-
cans and Mr.. E,kel, president OF Coun

1t isn't easy so close on

wise in a minute. Begin a
little early.
This is blanket-wisdom
mo matter how coarse, no
matter how fine, no matter
how thin, no matter how
thick, no matter whether
cotton or wool-but let the
blanket be big.
| Depends on the size of
your bedstead of curse.
One spends a third of his
time in bed unguarded. Let
the blanket be big enough
to lap over sides, tuck in,
and be your nightly guard.
There is but one virtue in
blankets. The virtue is big
ness.
We have blankets for
wise and unwise people;
more for the unwise because
there are more of them.
There are two sorts of
blankets: big and stingy.
Keep those two words in
mind.
There's a little hint be-
sides about money. Buy
by the pound.
The wisest people are apt
to come first. They shall
buy at present for IS and
|9Oc a pound and fare ex l..
tremely we'll. The blankets
we are thinking of vary in
size and thickness and fine
ness, 1915 to $40 a pair.
Shortly we shall have to

Everybody rides. No one thinks of
walking. Each family has its carriage
and saddle horse, and even the beggarS
go about the streets on horseback.
IL is a common thing to be stopped on
the street by h. rsenan and asked for
q "ccntavo," which is worth two and a
half cents of our money. These Incl
dents are somewhat startling at first,
and suggest highway robbery, but the
appeal Is made in such a humble, pitiiul
tone that the feeling OF alarm soon van
ishe5.
For the love OF Jesus, Senor, give a
poor sick man a centaYo. I've had no
bread or coffee to-day" And receiving
the pittance the beggar Will ride of
like Il cowboy to the nearest drinking
place
The national drink is called cana
pronounced canyahl, and is made OF
the fermented juIce of the sugaT-cane.
1t conta rs about 80 per cent.alcohol and
Is sold at two cents a goblet, SO that
spree in Uruguay is within the reach OF
the poorest man.
But there is very little intemperance
in comparison with that in. our own
country. On ordinary days drunken
men urn seldom seen upon the streets,
but on the evening after religious feast
the common people usually engage in
glorious cJTOusal.
The Vesubulc, of the tenement houses
and the patoIs or courts which invart-
ably furnish a cool loafing- place in the
centre OF each. are commonly paved with
the knuckle-bOneS OF sheep, arranged in
fantastic designs like IN sale work.
They always attract the attention Of
strangers, and 1t is standing joke to
tell the tender foot that they are
the knuckle bones of human beings
allied during the many revolutions.
The ladies of Uruguay are considered
to rank next to their sisters of Peru In
beauty, and there is something about
the atmosphere which gives their COM
plexion purity and clearness tn It are
not elsewhere found.
But when they reach maturity, like all
Spanish ladies', they lose their grace and
symmetry of form and become very
stout. This is undoubtedly owing in a
great degree to their lack OF exercise,
for they never walk, but spend their en-
tire lives in a carriage or rocking chair.

The intelligence Of the homing pigeon
Is one OF its marked traits, and few
qualities are more necessary for q faith
fuI meSsage-bearer. Instances have
frequently bsen recorded by pigeon fan
ciers, where the bird has shown almost
human ingenuity in avoiding dangerous
PAGES when bearing important messages,
anu by taking q circuitous route they
have escaped almost certain death.
While passing through the South OF
France several years ago one of these
feathered carriers stopped near q gentle
mans house TO rest and eat While
quietly watching the inmates OF tie
house through window the little carrier
ttracted the attention of the owner OF
the place, who offered 1t food out of his
own hand.
With strange earlessncss the bird
perched itself on the g ntlcman's hand
and began to eat. The 3 all packet which
the pigeon carried plai Y Informed the
gentleman the birds err md, and. taking
the little creature in the house, he
allow, 1t to eat all Sst as much rs It
desired. All attempts to examine the
contents OF the packet however, were
violently objected to by the csrLi T.
After half an hours rest the bird be-
came uneasy, and taking its perch upon
the window sill II began tapping sig
niiicantly on the glass with its bill. The
Gentleman curious to gee what the bird
would do il forcibly detained, paid no
attention to this mute but plain appeal.
The bird then began o fly from the
window to the mans shoulder and back
again, peeking angrily in turn on the
window pane and at his hosts ear Sill
finding no response to its demands, the
bird became frant.c in its action, unut
finally, losing all patience, 1t dashed
itself heavily against the window G ass
and shattered il into a hundred pieces.
Whether the bird was hurt by the sharp
glass couid not be sscertained, as the
lai. hful little messenger quickly mounted
in the air and was soon lost in the dis
tance.-ISouthern Bivouac.
