Still Pleading for Erin.

Mr.. Gladstone made another plea for Ire
land in the house of commons the other
evening. In moving an amendment TO the
bill appropriating S25,00O,0O0 for the relief
of the Scotch crofcrs, he complained that
the government was manifestly- moving TO
withdraw the subject of Irish land from the
view of parliament for several years. He
urged that the arrears of rent should be
cancelled or reduced. AS at present pre-
vailing they made the landlords masters of
the land act and masters of the conditions
for the sale of the land and the fortunes of
the tenants. He asked the house to sec
that the rents are reduced so that there
may not be a recurrence Of the mischief
which has marked the history Of this great
wrong He deprecated the wholesale evic-
tions which were still taking place.

The ComnnnY Liable.

Last December Charles Sherman Of New
Boston, Wayne county, sent $500 by Amer
lean express 10 Albert +. Sherman, Jack
sOnville, Florida. When the package ar
rived at its destination so was missing,
and Sherman'jued the express company IN
Justice Patton's court in Detroit 1t was
shown that tho company carried the money
safely to its southern terminus at Cairo,
Ill, and then placed il with the Southern
express company 10 be taken to Jackson
vile, and that the $40 was lost while the
package was in the care of the latter COM
pany.
The American express company contend
ed that the ether company saould be held
responsible, bat Justice Patton held that
the American express had agreed TO carry
the package 20 its destination, aud that they
must be held liable; also that il could not
curtail it's liability by any provisions an
neXed TO tho receipt; and he rendered
Judgment asl INST the company.
The amount involved is small, but the
principle is iwportlnt; hence the company
has carried the case TO the circuit court and

Mysterious Origin of Fires.

Not long ago lot of Sea Island cotton
in bales was discovered to be on fire in q
New Jersey warehouse, and when the
flames were extinguished in one spot,
they would Immediately break out in
another. An examination showed that
it was roller gin cotton; that is, cotton OF
which the lint is drawn away from the
seeds by pair of rollers, set at such a
distance apart as to keep the seeds from en-
tering between them. while the fibre passes
on and goes into bag. In the present
case, more or less of the seeds had some
how got between the rollers and been
crushed, and had thus saturated the cot
ton with oil, which, in due time, had
caused spontaneous combustion.
A still more curious case occurred IN
Massachusetts, factory. In the middle OF
the room milling machine was turning
knife handles, the dust being blown up
through metal tube into the room above
and thence forced out of doors through a
wooden pipe. A spark from an emery
wheel, fifteen feet from the milling ma
chine, struck window, and rebounding,
entered the mouth Of the metal tube, set
the wood dust on fire, so that the flames
poured out of the wooden pipe in stream
twenty feet long.
AN engineer, cleaning up a mill, put
some cotton waste in front of the boiler,
where it would be handy for the fireman
in the morning. During the night this
took fire spontaneously; the flames spread
to the kindlings under the boiler, and
soon raised steam enough to cause the
boiler to blow off, badly soaring the
watchman, who knew, or thought he
knew. that there was no fire under it. :,
In another instance man drove nal!
into the ceiling of jute mill. The nail
glanced off, was struck by the rapidly
moving beaters and caused serious con-
f1agration. youths Companion.

BECAUSE 1T WAS LEAP YEAR.
A Wealthy Young Woman Pops the Ques-
ton to a Poor Young Man.


An Ansonia lawyer was sitting on the
steps of the Central House, in Newtown,
Conn, on Saturday, when a pretty young
lady passed out of the hotel and up the
street. There goes remarkably pretty
girl, exclaimed gentleman conversing
with him, and there's quite little ro.
nance connected with her, too" The legal
gentleman was all attention at once as his
friend continued:
"She )elongs down in Baltimore and her
father is wealthy liquor distiller of that
city. She's got cool $500, 900 in her own
right and decisiveness about her that
means business. She located at the George
Hotel, Black Rock, this summer, coming
there all alone. A young man sitting at
her table attracted her attention. She
spoke to him one evening after he had met
her but three times and she broke him all
up by asking him if he was married. he
replied that he was too poorly situated for
marriage Just then; he hadn't much money
and had to support his father. Well, I've
plenty of money" she said; why don't
you marry mey' The young man en-
braced both the proposition and the young
lady. She returned to her home in Balti'
more, told her father about the clrcum-
stance, got his consent and returned to
Black Rock with her father, was married
in Bridgeport, and she and her husband
are passing the remainder of the season in
Newtown as happy as turtle doves. The
lawyer has been thinking ever since what
chances there are for young men IN this
country.-Ausonia Sentinel.

brought in with the table, piece oi
newspaper pasted over the back, making
it indistinguishable from the real news
paper that also lay on the table. While
placing the chalk under the slate the
Doctor fitted the loose piece with the
slate frame, and that was all there was
about it. The audience was too chagrin-
ed at the way it had been taken in to
applaud very heartily at this, and their
taste was spoiled for the tricks that fol-
lowed.

sYou ought to be there, tool" called
out an angry Spiritualist.
"Oh, no, I'm turning States evidence;
Tn all right" said the Doctor, and the
audience wanted to put the Splrltuallst
out.
On behalf of Philadelphia man who,
he said, was in the audience, the Doctor
offered $4,000 to any one who could pro-
duce mark an inch long on a slate by
any power except natural one.
Tie Margaret Fox part of the show
narrowly escaped being ridiculous owing
to the stage fright or other affection
which made her unable to speak her
piece, and prevented her from reading
it except in the most hating fashion.
What she finally read was few SEN
tences expressive of her regret at having
been so greatly instrumental in perpet-
uating the fraud of Spiritualism upon q
too confding public. She solemnly
asserted that now she was telling the
whole truth, and asked God to forgive
her as she hoped Re would forgive those
who believed in "this silly, nonsensical,
wicked thing"
Doctors from the audience went upon
the stage and felt the woman's foot as
she made the motions by which she used
to do the rapping. Then she stood IN her
stocking feet on a little pine platform
six inches from the floor, and without
the slightest perceptible movement OF
the person made raps audible all over
the theatre. She went down into the au-
dience, and there, resting her foot on
another persons, she showed how by the
motion of the great toe the sound was
produced.

Broke His Leg Pulling of His Boot.

A very peculiar accident befell George
W. Susong, of the Georgia Construction
Company. at Asheville, n c., on Sun lay
night. While undressing in his room pre-
paratory to going to bed he broke his right
leg. The accident happened in most pc
culiar manner. Mr. Susong had already
removed one of his boots, and finding the
other tight, he put the foot encased by the
contrary boot behind his other leg, and in
straining in that position to pull the boot
off, the thigh bone of his right leg was
fractured. Immediate medical attention
was given the broken limb, but MIR. Susong
could not be moved, and was left at Ashe
Vile. He had just recovered from long
attack of typhoid fever, and had frequently
complained of rheumatism in the thigh
where the fracture occurred, and 1t is
thought likely the bone there was diseased
