DUBLIN's CHOTUE.

4 One OF the happy events OF new |
rear and one that will long be remem-
Dered in Ireland's history was the IN
,tallation Of MI. T. D. Sullivan as
Lord Mayor Of Dublin. The cerem 1
les that ushered in the new mayer
were in marked contrast to those Of
former aristocratic installations. In
other years a Lord or Knight, or some
other titled parsonage who was unfor-
tunately chosen to SO an exalted 9 po--
sition, was Installed in Office with q
ravishing amount Of pomp and splendor;;
then, too, escorts of police and soldiers
might be found before and after him;
the vain and naughty regimental band
serenaded hiIn;the great lord lieutenant
and castle officials were his invited
guests, and the only original Union on
Jack was everywhere displayed to the
complete exclusion Of Ireland's nation
al emblem. AT the banquet which fol-
lowed in those days there was nothing
heard nor even seen but loyalty on
every side; to the right and to the left
Of the Lord Mayor might be seen the
principal guests, and tits needless to
say they were purely and wholly Eng
lish representatives. On such occas-
sions Ireland's prosperity did not re-
ceiye the slightest recognition, and "the
Queen" was always given as the hrst
toast on the list.
We are living in a different period
now, and the Irish people throughout
the length and breadth Of the land can
congratulate themselves on having seen
the last vestige of this despicable
English slavish custom uprooted and
! banished from the capital Of their native
isle. The present Lord Mayor is thor.
oughly democratic; his Irish name is
sullied with no English title; his escort
! is made upof artisans and laborers, his
professions contains no English repre-.
sentatives; his list of invited guests is
not headed with the names of foreign
royalty; his list Of toasts is headed
ireland a nation, y and ''the Queen il
entirely forgotten. From the dome Of
the Mansion house may be seen flying
the crownless harp Of Ireland, where
the Union jack so long held suprem-
acy. Such are the changes that have
taken place in Dublin, in a brief space
of time. Surely there is cause for con
graduation in the noted progress that
has been made. Ireland is truly be.
coming like to America. She is fast
rejecting the old customs of ignorance
and slavery that have SO long been
forced upon her by tyrannical English
rule.

A Little Maidan,a First Taste,

a ItLlo Mal06n0 kIBI 18Ste'
In front Of Clark street clothing
store a number of wax dummies stand,
wearing nice overcoats and well-ahaped
trousers. Among the adult fgures are
several youths attired in children'a
knits, Oyercoats and knickerb ockers.
Last Saturday afternoon roughly
dressed man, accompanied by his wife,
stopped to inspect some Of the clothing
on show. A pretty little girl of about
four years chung to the woman's dress.
Suddenly the little one caught sight Of
the boy dummies. With q smile she
loosened her grasp on her mothers
dress and toddled toward nice little
boy in knickerbockers. When she got
close enough she caught the little boy
by the sleeve Of his jacket. He paid no
attention to her. With puzzled look
on her face she drew back.
A bright idea crept into her small
brain. A smile broke out on her face,
and putting up pair Of pouting lips
she stretched forth her hands and laid
them on each shoulder Of the hard
hearted little boy. A moment she
waited for the kiss to come. Flesh and
blood could never have withstood the
appeal. 1t almost seemed as IL the lit
tle waxed dummy would melt and pay
the tribute. But he did not. He kept
staring straight ahead with look OF
steadfast virtue in his blue eyes that
was provoking.
The little maiden was perplexed. She
drew back. Then she turned and re-
peated the experiment. She stood on
her tip-toes. but she couldn't reach the
little boys mouth with her lips. Tears
came into her eyes and she t0ddled back

TIE TYPICAL ENGLIsHMAN.

There is not now and there never
has been a doubt in the mind Of the
typical Englishman but that the world
was made for him, and that all other
peoples have no right to live or rule
without. his willing consent. An illus
tratration of this very prevalent idea
is to be found IN the excavations Of q
large section Of the British press,
brought down on the heads of their
1kith and kin who have studied the
cause of Ireland, who have weighed
the question of Home Rule again and
again IN the balance, during the past
few years, that they might be able at
last to arrive at fair and impartial
judgment as to how best to proceed in
their final course towards Ireland. Be-
cause there are such fair-minded Eng
lishmen in existence to-day in England
and in Ireland, the British press would
denounce them as traitors. The Lon
don Times, journal that has always
been consistent in one thing-its ever
continued defamation Of the Irish peo-
pie as a race-insists that as long as
the Irish people are not satisfied to live
as slaves, the government should be
quick in passing a law that would expel
at once and for all time the Irish mem
bers from the Commons, together with
a sweeping martial law, which would
wipe the entire Irish race from off the
face of the earth. All Of the most
radical sheets 60 on in the same strain,
and the most daeadful pictures are pre-
sented of what we may expect, if home
rule is passed. Bitter as this radical
and predjudicial press has shown itself
to be, there has nothing yet been writ
ten that can equal the Attorney Gem
erals efforts in that direction.
Addressing his constituents in the
Isle of Wight but short time since,
he said: What does the separation Of
Ireland meanp In the first place, one
of the most horrible and dreadful civil
wars that could be conceived, because
there exists in Ireland two antagonistic
parties, opposed to each other in religion
and politics, and the Protestants OF Ul-
ster would have to fight for their lives
against their implacable foes in the
Southern DISTRICTS
Does such antagonism exist in the
mind of the Southerner in the present
period towards his country men of the
Northp Mol There is venom coupled
with cowardice in this mans
speech brazen falsehood glitters
upon every word that has fallen
from his serpent tongue. If .
shadow Of doubt exists on the subject
let it be quickly cleared away by look
ing at the long list Of Protestants
elected by Catholic constituencies to.
fill the highest positions to which it was
in their power to elect them. The ques-
ton Of religion is never raised iii Ire
land to-day except by few Orangemen
in the North, and they are scarce in
deed and growing less day by day.
The morbid efforts Of the English
Attorney General will not annoy the
Irish people. Such effusions as his
have but little weight in the present
agitation. Home Rule win come, as
come it must, and no power which the
typical Englishman may WELD, or no
device to which he may have recourse,
can impede its certain progress to sue
cess. e

weeks s36O3 had been received for the

presided, expressed the great pleasure
which had been afforded him by Mr..
Gladstone's favorable reference to the
Irish home rule scheme. Mr. ladstOne's
words, he said, were of far more con-
sequence, and were entitled to greater
consideration than those Of Mr.. Cham
berlain, Mr.. Bri hi or even Lord Ran
,dolph Churchill. Irish industries, he
said, had sunk to the lowest point, and
it would be hard task for Mr.. Parnell
and his followers to revive those indus
tries. Only home rule would enable
them to bring about a revival. ireland
would then resume her proper position

tion would be continued on the old
lines, and the Irish in America would
freely help their countrymen.

"A newspaper correspondent has been

interesting. The following extract
gives some facts about ex-Secretary

upon people was Of being very harsh

manned with him the best part Of the

things of interest about men dead and

What were the real relations be-
tween Grant and Stantonp We're they
friends!'
General Grant talked to me great
deal about Stanton. He respected Stan
ton and wanted his friendship but it
was an acquaintance Of very slow
growth. Stanton told me he regarded
General Thomas as the most eminent
soldier of the war. ] don't think Stan
ton gave either Grant, Sherman or
Sheridan quite the place they deserved.
Grant said to me that Stanton was al
ways his loyal friend, but that there
was evidently something between them.
General Grant III referring to this said
that nothing could be more loyal than
Stanton's treatment as War Secretary.
But somehow, although Grant craved
it, their friendship did not grow. i
fancy temperament had much to do
with it. Grant was not an easy man 10

was in the way. Then, / fancy that
Stanton was afraid Of Grants attitude
