WISE WORDS.

A good name, like good will, is got by
many actions and lost by one.
Pale death beats with impartial foot at
the novels of the poor and currents of
kings.
Nature is frank and will allow no man
to abuse himself without giving him a
hint of it.
Remember this: However small
you consider your possessions there is
some one who envies you them.
There is no luck but there is such a
thing as hard work and knowing how to
make it answer for what others call
'luck."
Real difference of opinion, honestly ex-
pressed whenever the subject is serious
enough to demand it, always deserves
respectful attention and consideration.
No matter how low down man may
get there is not more than one in every
100 of them but will prove true to a
small trust if his pride be strengthened
by your seeming faith in him.
Much of the world is prejudiced
against facts, because facts stick to the
text and don't go out of the way to con-
coct a palatable medium for the worlds
own genteel taste and wise opinions.
One breach of faith will always be re-
membered, no matter how loyal youI
subsequent life may be. People may
imagine that they trust you, yet all the
time they have an eye to the former
break

Lord Wolseley, in the course of his
recent lecture told number of amusing
anecdotes, the best of which was as fol-
lows One of his officers, who happened
to have glass eye, was one day eXamin-

Mahdi. "Why do you believe in the
Mahdil" 81 believe in him, replied the
man, "because he can work miracles. +"

put it back in its place. "Dye think ths
Mahdi could do that" he asked The
man was appalled,, and couldn't say an

Games Among the Ancients.

Running, rowing, wrestling boxing,
QUOT throwing, hunting, chariot racing,
horse racing and games of ball were IA
vorte sports of the ancients.
Polo, which has become fashionable
ducing these last few years, is the ''Chu-
garn of the Persians, and perhaps the
Tartars, too, and is supposed to be
prehistoric.
Games kindred to tives, racquets, ten
mis- and lawn tennis were played in the
days of Horace, and may have had their
origin centuries before that era.
There was another game, 'paganica, J"
which was supposed to be aroving game,
somewhat like hockey, golf or lacrosse.
These games were much encouraged
among the young men, and were played
in the Campus Martius, Rome.
1t is "A curious thing, but handball is
prehistoric in Ireland, and was and is
great national sport; and as it is known
that the Phpnicians were in Ireland
many centuries b. c., it is quite possible
that they imported it from the Mediter-
ranean, but this is pure speculation.

Two paragraphs have recently been
going the rounds of the newspapers, the
matter of which is undoubtedly erroneous.
One says that Connecticut man con-
sumes >two tons of chewing tobacco a
year. If that is true, he uses every day
about eighty-seven papers of tobacco of
the ordinary size. The other paragraph
declares that two women in Paris had a
dispute as to which could talk the faster,
and that one of them on trial distinctly
pronounced 296, 81 words in three hours.
If that is true she uttered 1,645 words a
minute and twenty-seven words every
second, which is commended for trial to
any one who thinks it can be done.

On the Rio Grande frontier it is an
open secret that wholesale smuggling to
Mexico takes place almost daily. The
laws of Mexico exact such enormous
duties upon every conceivable article of
necessity that paying such duties is often
equivalent to buying the merchandise a
second time. The number of papers nee
essary to make out an invoice to pro-
tect the shipment during its frequent in
spcctions along the route and to pass
State lines, which requires a world of
stationery, makes it necessary for the
shipper to be as expert as
a Philadelphia lawyer to keep
track of the red tape. This partially
accounts for the prevalence of smuggling.
There are many countries where an ordi-
nary man is unable to attend to his own
business of passing goods through GUS
tom house, but Mexico is pre-eminently
one of them, for if man untutored in
the tecnicalities of Mexican tariff law at
tempts to enter goods he finds himself In
hot water at once. Fines of
considerable magnitude are imposed,
unlooked-for delays and annoy
ances are constantly happening.
Lately the government officials of Mexico
have commenced to punish contraband-
lists severely, and every one caught is
severely dealt with to the full extent of
rigid law. This has never been done
heretofore. Jones, a Mormon, who lives
on the Corralitos property 12O miles
southwest of El Paso, was sent out to get
supplies and was caught with contra
band goods by the Mexican guards, and
has been sentenced to Jail for six months,
Marcos Fuentos, a Mexican of the
frontier town of Ascension, is in jail now
for six months for the same offense.

OUT TO THE SEA.

"Out TO the seal Out to the seaIn
Sing the waters Of inland rivers;
From source to mouth
In the sunny south
The liquid stream song quivers.
"Down through the bluel Down through the
bluel"
Sings the moonlights silverysheen;
"Thy breast must bear
No greater care
Than purest light e'er seem"
"Sisters are we! Sisters are wei"
In harmony sing the twain.
Toward ocean we float
Nor sail nor boat
To guide us toward the main"
Careless are wei Careless are wei
OF shores we pass in flowing.
We bid them smile
As we pass the while,
But cannot stay our going.
Oceans are vast Oceans are vast,
And the currents playing among them
Forbid us to stay,
But call us away;
Thinkof our songs-we have sung them"
Lessons are learned Lessons are learned
From the water and moonlight flowing
Out to the sea
In such harmony
Like sisters in their going.

The IRISH WORLD believes that
protection to Irish industries had much
to do with the defeat of Home Rule in
the recent elections. 1t instances J oseph
Cham erlain, who fell in with the Irish
dem and for some kind Of self govern
ment until 1t was limited that this might
involve protection to Irish industry.
From that hour he has been Q most
malignant opposer Of sthe Home Rule
scheme, declaring that the masses OF
Engla nd would never permit such a
thing. Mr.. Joseph Wharton, who Is
now 10 England, writes home that no
aspect OF the Irish demand Is so much
talked over rs this. No assurance that
Mr.. Gladstone was able to give had the
effect OF resssuring the British manu-
facturers ON this point. Here WAS Ire
land with q population OF nearly five
millions, lying right across a narrow
channel, that bought from England
every hat and cap, boot aud shoe, plate
and dish, knife aud fork, spade aud
shovel, chair aud table that It's people
used. II Home Rule we're est sblishei
Ireland would set up her own manu-
factuters like she had before 1900, when
she enjoyed her most prosperous days.
Can England lose such customer :?
Such a thought could not be tolerated.
The same rigid rule applied to Ireland
England would apply to the United
States, il she could, and that is the rule
she ID trying to establish through the
aid Of free trade.

A Sham Warning,

President Cleveland's order warning
Federal officials against taking any
active part in politics is in keeping
with the civil service reform rules, but
1t Is the hollowest kind Of q sham. If he
were sincere why did he not have the
question discussed before his cabinet?
They met face 10 face with the Presi-
dent but not O word was said about
this remarkable order, remarkable
only because there Is no honesty nor
sincerity in it. Why did he not tell
these seven men who compose his
board of advisers to issue orders to
their sueordinates to keep clear OF en-
gaging in politics except to go to the
polls and deposit their votes and then
70 away again? President Cleveland
knows very well his order has been
violated with impunity in every de-
partment Of the Government And
further he knows very well that the
most of the appointments he has
made were made because those he
appointed were active politicians
and would still remain so. Would
Higgins, Hedden, Thomas, ri Is
bury, Chase, Goode, and hundreds
OF others have been appointed to office,
had they not taken gu active part In
politics? Would Higgins ever have
been brought before the Treasury de-
partment for appointment to an Off &c
had he not been we'll known as a ballot
box suffer Of Baltimore? Instance s
of the most shameless activity In poll
tics and party management have been
brought to the attention Of the President
hundreds Of times, bu. not ons OH oial
has been removed for such offence and
we know now that he does not intend
to make any removals for that offence.
We are rather surprised that the Presi-
dent should act az II he thought the
people of this country were 30 green as
to be fooled by repetition of injunc-
tions which his subordinates disregard
and defy every day, and nobody
knows better that they are doing it
every day than Grover Cleveland.
1t is well known, says the n. y
Tribune, that this sham warning to
Federal Office holders was called out by
peculiarly hsgraut violstitn of its in
junction In one OF the Congressional
districts in Ohio. Tie Cincinnati En-
quirer called attention to the manner in
which the Federal officials packed the
convention by use of their official pa
tronage, and that paper denounced the
action In the most vigorous terms. The
case was laid before the President and
hence the cause for his inconsistent
sham warning. Had he been honest
and sincere in his action he would
have removed the guilty officials. But
instead Of doing this he has sent out
this Pecksniffian letter to the men who
sit at the same table with him, suppos-
ing that the public may be CALLED by
1t. Nothing has occurred since the
Presidents inauguration to show more
clearly the insincerity of his profess
sions and the essentially fraudulent
character of his administration than
the publication of this deceptive mean
ingless missive under such peculiar
circum stances.
