Large Meeting at louahrea.

DUBLIN, February 10.-The meeting
at Loughrea to-day was attended by
large crowd. Four thousand tenants
with bands and flags formed process
sion and marched to the place of meet
ing, where they presented to Shaw-Le-
fevre an address thanking him for his
efforts in their behalf. Shaw-Lefeyre in
reply said that he and his friends We're
ready to go to Jail in order to vindicate
the great public victory. The arrest of
Blunt was one of the most unjust things
ever done. He hoped the wrong would
be redressed, and he pledged himself to
do all in his power to secure BIunt's re-
lease. If the Government did not lend
Lord Clanricarde its power of coercion
he would soon find it to his interest to
arrange with his tenants. The police
force had been augmented for the oc-
casion, but the meeting was not mo-
Tested. The crowd dispersed quietly.

Mosquito Inlet.

About year ago the canal between
the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon
was completed, thus giving water com
munication from the head of the Hall
fax River to Jupiter Inlet, distance of
two hundred miles. This canal is sixty
feet deep, and from some cause, prob
ably the Gulf stream, which runs in
close to the coast at Jupiter and the In
dian River Inlets, has very strong cur
rent, flowing at a speed of at least four
miles an hour. At the time of opening
this canal there was only about eight
feet on the bar of Mosquito Inlet, but
now vessels drawing sixteen feet can
come over the bar and it is believed this
canal has caused the deepening of the
water. AT any rate something has done
it and it may be that New Symrna will
in the near future become the best har-
Dor on the coast. Once inside the bar
there has ever been plenty of water and
plenty of sea-room. This is a matter of
sufficient importance TO demand the at
ton of the Government.

The Days of BOurbonism.


There was one slate slander that we
did not expect to see revived, even by
the most ancient of Bourbons. But we
had forgotten that Murat Halstead had
the run of the magazines. He now
writes to the Forum that, if the Demo
Gratis prevail this year, the Confederate
veterans will be put on the pension list,
and this will be followed by a demand
from the South for payment for all
emancipated slaves. The only individ-
uals who could possibly entertain such
an idea would be those who were in
sanely bent on squandering the surplus
in the national treasury. But, seri-
ously. what kind of an estimate of the
intelligence of the American people
must a man have who addresses them
in this way? The Republican party it
self is not reduced to such straits as
this, but it should repudiate all respon-
sibility for stuff such as this.

AN ARTIFICIAL SILK WORM

"that artificial silk may some time
