| loss in the naturalization movement.
The Nationalist admit that before their
| scheme can be carried out the whole people
must be educated. A family government by
and for the people is impossible while the
people are ignorant. Do away with ignor-
ance and you do away with bossism in poll
tics and render the existence Of vast
governmental machine not danger, but a
blessing.
These Nationalist say they do not expect
to reform human nature. They propose to
substitute for the motives which now direct
human nature new set of motives which
shall utilize human impulses for good in
stead of evil.
To so lofty purpose who would not say,
"Let her go, Cholmondeley!"

It is to be feared that the great interest
shown here in the Nun of Kenmares
autobiography is not altogether due to
sympathy with her failure to receive from
ecclesiarchs that consideration which she con-
siders fitting
No sooner had it become known that
Ticknor & Co. were to publish the book than
people began to visit their Office to inquire
when it was to come out, and the book is now
selling like peanuts at circus. 1t is nuts to
those people who are eager to know how the
Roman Catholic ecclesiasticism is conducted,
and copy OF it will stand with Rev. Dr.
Fulton's why Priests Should Wed" and
Rev. FIR. Chiniquy's Fifty Years in the
Church of Rome'. in thousands Of Boston
homes.
Perhaps if the celebrated nun had under
stood this, she would have hesitated in her
"appeal to the people"
The bartenders of this town are relating
with amazement the story, Of champion
guzzler who appeared in . saloon the other
day. He was stranger, and his first order
for sherry ind &c excited no curiosity. 1t
was biz egg, Ind he put big dose Of
sherry n Sop of it. Then he paid the waiter,
raised the glass daintily, looked at it fondly
for moment and swallowed it with evident
gusto. Then he called for lone more OF the
same" The first seNned only 20 have
whetted his appetite, and he put away the
n ,xt egg and sherry with even greater salts
faction. J he waiter looked surprised when
the strang, called for another" and his sur
prise kept mounting until he got red in the
face and fell over his feet, as the stranger,
paying for each drink as he took il, and appar-
entity enjoying each more than the one before,
ordered and swallowed twenty -four eggs, each
in glass of sherry. It took him seven hours
to perform this feat, and then he walked out
Of the barroom with steady gait and an air
Of content. No one has been able to account
for him.
Mayor O'Brisn Is lucky man, II he Is now
at the bottom Of the turesn. When he crawls
out Of the consomns and goes to his mansion
on Commonwealth avenue as private citizen
he will have to solacs him the reflection that
he has scoopsd in from $500 to 500, 900
during Is four years in sffics. He has been
an extensive speculator, and 1t Is said be
made lucky investments in the street rail
roads At the time Of the consolidation and in
Atchison. He was imported from ireland
while . child. Just how old he was
then is matter Of doubt, a.
he had no clear recollection Of the
day Of his birth and his parents
didn't inform him about it. The boy became
a printers devil and worked his way up - .
leading position in the trade, till he was
nominated for alderman in more or les

him, he grew 70 like politics, and he has been
as successful in that trade a. he was formerly

An Italian woman who was once model |
much sought for by Paris artists, now
keeps lodging house on Green street.
Though time has robbed her of much of the
charm that formerly was quoted at as high
as $40 to 800 week in artists studies she is
still well-formed woman.
From 800 to 400 faces. she says, have been
painted above her shoulders and arms. In this
way handsome bust has been given to the por-
traits of three of the Rothschild women, Mrs
