LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN IRELAND.
Mr. hamberIain Does Not See WHY the
People should Not Have IL.

LONDON, September 20.-At a break
last given a, Bradford today hv
the Radical Union.sts, Mr.. joseph
Chamberlain said that he did not
see why the Irish should not
have local government, though his ex-
perlence had shown him that whether at
Dublin, New York or Boston, Irish gov.
eminent was always inefficient and cor
rrpt. He said that be once thought the
Liberals and Unionists could reunite n
feasible policy, but now the chasm was
daily widening. An alliance with the
conservatives would depend upon the
adoption Of principles which were above
party interests. The government had con
suited the wishes of the Uuionisfs in.
stead Of differing with them. and Mr.
BSiiour has anqualiiedly approved of
their policy. Only reactiouaiy policy
was the disuust Of the present alliance.

When Fast or Slow.

When a ship is approaching land, and
sounding constantly, low rate of speed is,
no doubt, best, since, should you be il error,
1t might prevent you from becoming total
wreck Again, when ship is in the vicinity
OF ice foes aud bergs, a low rate of speed is
advisable. as it also is when thick gale or
beam wind is blowing, preventing your
whistle from being heard any distance ahead
But in an ordinary fog, argue that full
speed is the safest, and my reasons are these:
IL you slow down the moment fog comes on
the steam roars out of the escape pipes with
such noise that for some time YOU are in
absolute danger, not being able to see or hear
anything; If you reduce the steam gradually
you take power off your ship and pressure of
your whistle, and If you suddenly hear some
sound ahead you can only turn to the right
or left slowly or stop altogether, letting the
other ship take her chances of clearing you.
Again, you cannot reverse full speed, as
your steam is too low TO move the engines
quickly.
Now, going full speed, all is as still and
quiet as the grave. Ears and good lookouts
are ready for the least sound. The moment
you hecr a sound, up helm and bring the
horn or whistle ahaft your beam, which is
comparatively place of safety, and blow
once or twice to the other steamer, indi-
eating to him whether yeu have directed
your own ship to the port or starboard.-

A young girl, certainly not more than 12
years old, was among the customers who
thronged a fashionable dressmaker's Penn
avenue store a few days ago. She is the
daughter Of very wealthy and indulgent
parents, and on this occasion, accompanied
by her mother, she was about to choose a
dress all by herself for the first time
The child evidently had been close stu
dent Of her elders behavior in q dressmaker's
sanctum, for she examined more styles and
fashion plates and patterns and other mys-
terious things than even belle of a season
would ask for. and nearly drove the obliging
mistress Of the establishment out of her
senses before she condescended to make a
choice. She had chosen the material for
the dress, and was still wavering between
several styles of having it made up, when the
dressmaker produced what she said was an
exquisite novelty from the hand of the great
Worth himself.
The girl looked at it, turned the sketch
around, and curiously gazed at it from half
a dozen points Then she burst out enthu-
siasticslly with: That's just what I've been
wanting for centuriesIn

Advice to Camper. Out"

A writer in "Prophylactic. Practical

and sound advice to those attempting
camp life during their vacations. That
concerning the Importance of pure water
is applicable not merely to those who are
to dwell in tents in wilderness. but to
those who will sojourn at the usual sum
mer resort and watering place 1t is toe
often the case that the purity Of the
water supply at such places is taken for
granted, with the most serious results
Unboiled water is hardly ever safe to
drink now from either well. spring or
stream. unless in locality in the noun
tains or far from inhabited places. 1t
should be an invariable rule never to use
for drinking purposes unknown. untested
water which has its source in or flows
through an inhabited country until it has
been thoroughly boiled. Then it is abso

observance of this precaution would pre-
vent the frequent outbreaks Of typhoid

Concerning an aged French priest, who
built at bis own expense the dainty little
church at Mont Rouge, there is a story told
which might have delighted Rossetti An
aristocrat by birth, title and training, he is
said as young man to have made brilliant
figure in fashionable Partisan society. Rem
dered suddenly dumb in the best years of his
youth, either by some unfortunate accident
or by some unfamiliar malady, he found
himself compelled to abandon the career for
which he had bsn destined, and to forsake
those elegant circles he had charmed SO often
by his delicate wit and irreproachable grace of
manner. Leading physicians of the time
exhausted their skill in unsuccessful efforts
to restore his speech; his case ws pro-
nounced hopeless; in the pleasures or 4istrac-
tions Of travel he Sought that forgetfulness
Of his misfortune which familiar scenes and
faces might render impossible at home
He went to Italy. There, while wandering
In some world famous gallery-f know not
whether in Florence, Venice or Milan-he
beheld for the first time a certain celebrated
Madonna, masterpiece Of the grandest pc
riod Of Italian art; perhaps one of those
chefs d'euvre wherein the painter has told
the whole secret of his love, and through the
idealization Of woman's worshiped face
made manifest the holiness of beauty As
founded, fascinated, thrilled with emotion
by the immortal loveliness of the work, the
young traveller cried out in a voice that rang
through all the colossal building: "Oh, que
c'est beaul que c'est divinl' The passion
magic Of the master 800 years entombed-
the marvellous power Of the long dead hand
surviving centuries-had thus given strength
Of utterancs to the dumb, had unloosed the
bonds Of speech! Science may offer in these
days simple physiological explanation for
similarly strange results of intense emotional
feeling; but in the early part Of this century.
more than at present, such an occurrence
must have seemed to religious minds super
natural, miraculous, manifestation of
heavenly mercy, q sign Of the Celestial Will.
Thus did the young nobleman, indeed, inter-
pret this wonderful recovery of his speech;
he forsook society forever and became a
priest-Lafcadio Hearn in Harper's Maga-
fiua
