A FEARLESS REBUKE.

Prof. Goodwin Smith, of Toronto,
aired his English notions at a ban.
quet in New York on st. Georges
day, at which Hon. Chauncey M.
Depew was guest. Prof. Smith
declared himself opposed to Home
Rule for Ireland, and quoted the
father of free trade, Richard Golden,
as traducing Irish craftsmanship.
He looked upon the naturalization
of Englishmen in this country as a
great condescenslon in an alien
land, where Ehglishmen are tram
pied upon by those who are ang.
ling for the Irish vote. If hatred
and envy of Ireland burn. SO deeply
in the hearts of English statesmen,
why should Americans have more
love for the English; as England
treated Ireland so she would treat
America if our forefathers had not
shed their blood for our Independ-
ence.
Mr.. Depew replied that there is
politics in everything English in
this country, and that he protested
against every opinion expressed in
the professors stump sbeech, at
which there were cries of "oh;" and
when he mentioned Gladstone's
name the English sympathizers hiss.

the following well.deserved criticism
on the whole -
The report OF the meeting tele.
graphed from New York to the dali
ly press, says that " a perfect storm
of Kisses greeted the name of
Gladstone" Mr.. Depew was aston.
ished at the outburst, but he need
not have been-it was $50 English
you know" The insolence, assump.
tion, arrogance, hoggishness and
bitterness of the English heart and
mind can be relied upon, on almost
all occasions, for the purposes of a
brutal demonstration. Mr.. Depew
was a brave man to stand up fol
America and Ireland in the midst oil
the deadly enemies of both countries.
If the Englishmen who Kissed Glad
stones name we're to take their
oaths ION a stack of bibles" to be
loyal to the republic The Citizen
would not believe them. The vic.
lation of solemn treaties of solemn
oaths has never stood between the
majority of Englishmen and their
ambition or hatred and it never will
Their political and commercial pow
er in the world has been built up
in about equal parts, by murder, rob

Some of the few exceptions to the gen
eral rule OF distribution are exceedingly
interesting and throw light upon the
unwritten and even forgotten history Of
some of the tribes. For instance; A little
colony Of the great Siouan family is found

crossed the mountains. and maintained
itself In the midst Of another family

suggests very interesting topic for the
study of the ethnologist.
Again, all the northwestern part Of the
continent was occupied by the Athabascan
family, very peaceable Indians. But the
Apacles aud Navajos of New Mexico and
Arizona belong TO the same family, and
are among the most warlike on the con-

necessity of wrestling their new home
from its previous occupants and holding
it, as well as to the inhospitable character
OF the country, may not their change 81

A ROYAL /" Case of Emerreney."

The Princess of Piedmont's dress
caught in the spur of an officer of lancers;
result, tremendous rent in the sweeping
skirt, and a long whisp Of gown trailing
OH the floor Before the princess had
time to appeal to one Of her ladies in
waiting, the crown prince of Prussia had
produced pretty little morocco etui,
from which he extracted d;linty pair OF
scissors, and kneeling down ut the feet of
the bride skillfully cut away the wreck.
After he had effectually relieved the prin
cess OF her incumbrance he rose, bowed
profoundly, returned HIS lease of emer-
gency" to his pocket and resumed his place
by the kings side, amid the subdued muir
murs of satisfaction of all the ladies near
him.
The tremendous social success that at
tended his graceful little action was tenfold
enhanced when, later on in the evening,
1t came out that, on Victor Emmanuel
complimenting him anent the forethought
he displayed in carrying a complete
trousse about with him, even in the ball
room, TOUR Fritz replied; 1.-THE whole
merit Of the idea belongs to my wife, sire,
not to me. Long ago she gave me n
pocket necessaire with all sorts of useful
things in it-needles and thread, button
hooks, sticking plaster and scissors, as

to keep it always in my pocket wherever
went. What took place Just now only

His eyes are as bright and beautiful

A QUEER PREACHER SENT TO
PRIsON.-CH MBERSBUkG, PA,
April 26.-D. P. Mcpherson, of WASH
ington, D. c., was to-day sentenced
in the penitentiary for six years for
shooting Joseph Wiley, near Camp
Hill, on January 28th last. McPher-
son was a crank preacher and medi-
cine pedler, who had been plying his
trade near Camp Hill, and claiming
to be a United States detective. While
he was holding services in little
church in the mountains, young Wiley
laughed at some of his queer sayings,
and Mcpherson obtained warrant of
a constable for Wiley's arrest for dis
turning religious meeting. He at
tempted to serve the warrant himself,
and on Wiley's resisting, he shot HIM
in the neck and back, inf1icting a
wound from which Wiley will be
crippled for life. Mcpherson pleaded
self-defense, but was convicted and
sentenced to-day. He made a long,
rambling speech to the court, in which
he claimed to have been on the police
force in Washington for seven or
eight years, and that he was on duty
at the Baltimore and Potomac
Depot when President Garfield
was shot. Some think him insane,
and commission in lunacy will be
applied for to try to have him sent to
an asylum instead of the penitentiary.

Drifting along with the waving corn,
The ripened harvest and new-mown

Drifting along with the setting sun,
From early morn till close OF day.
Drifting along with weary life,
Encouraged by phantas, never there
Drifting along with care and strife,
Building castles in the air:
Drifting along from the childhood g
From the CHEEKY glow of mother Is
Drifting along contented to roam,

Drifting along on the treacherous sand,
Tasting the water from a bitter cup;
Drifting along to that distant land,
For the tide of life to gather us up;
Drifting along with sin and remorse,
A saddened heart and PROSTATE form ;
Drifting along, stiffened corpse,
We are drifting to Him who shelters
