over the chimney the night wind sang.
And chanted melody no one knew;
And the woman stopped and her babe she
tossed,
And thought OF the one she long since lost,
And said as her teardrops back she forced
Il hate the wind The chimney
over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chantod a melody no one knew;
And the children said as they closer drew,
." "'Tis some witch that is cleaying the black
night through,
"Tis fairy trumpet that just then blew
And we fear the wind in the chimney
over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted melody no one knew;
And the man, as he sat ON his hearth below,
Said TO himself, ut will surely snow
And fuel is dear, and wages low,
And III stop the leak In the chimney
over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted melody no one knew;
But the poet listened and smiled tor he
Was man, and woman, and child, all three,
And said, ut is Gods own harmony,
This wind we hear In the chimney"

SOME sUPERFLuoUs criticism has
been passed upon General Bragg, our
new Minister to Mexico for wearing
the uniform of an American brigadier
on his presentation to President Diaz.
In doing so he was simply conform
ing to the custom of the country to
which he was accredited and in the
strict line of diplomatic propriety.
Besides, General Bragg fully earned
his uniform during the war and has a
right to wear it.

A gentleman Of age and experience
sends in this collection, labeled:
now THE GIRLS KISS.
The New York girl bows her stately head,
And she fixes her stylish lips
In. a firm, hard way, and lets them go
In spasmodic little ships.
The Boston girl removeth her specs,
And freezeth her face with smile
Then she sticks out her lips, like an open
book,
And cheweth a bean meanwhile.
The 81. Louis girl says never a word,
And you'd think she was rather tame,
With her practical views of the matter IN
hand,
But she gets there all the same.
The Baltimore girl, the pride of the South,
In her clinging and soulful way,
Absorbs IL all with yeSnful yearn
As big rs a bale of hay.
The Chicago girl gets grip on herself,
As she carefully takes OIL her hat;
Then She grabs up the prize in frenzied
way,
Like terrier shaking a rat.
The Washington girl so gentle and sweet,
Lets her lips meet the coming kiss,
With a rapturous warmth, and the youth
ful souls
Float away on sea of bliss.

DUBLIN. Jan. 1.-THE Galway correspondent
of the Evening Telegraph wires to-day that Mr..
Wilfrid Blunt was deprived of his overcoat yes
terday afternoon by the prison authorities,
whereupon hinging his prison-garb aside, he
demanded his own clothing. On this being re-
fused, Mr. Blunt gathered blanket from his
bed about him and pacing up and down in his
cell. passed in this manner the remainder OF the
day. To-day he remained in his bed, refusing to
get up and resume the prison garb. He told the
visiting justices who saw him to day that in q
recent interview Mr.. Balfour had declared to
him tBluntl his intention of imprisoning six of
the physically weakest Parnellites, who would
be unable TO survive six months ia Jail. The
justices refused receive the declarations of
Mr. Blunt. They advise the removal of the
prisoner to a better room. and that his overcoat
be restored to him; also that he be supplied with
writing materials

MGR Psrsico. in his report to Pope Leo. has not
made any reference to the question of the es-
tablishment of diplomatic relations between
England and the Vatican He has confined
himself to simple report of the evidence he has
obtained from lay Catholics of eminence and
from the higher ecclesiastics to the
condition of ireland. and the position
rent political controversies. MGR. Persico
has made Recommendations on his own &C.
count whatever. and although it is true that he
received from Roman Catholic officials of the
Irish government their views of the situation,
he has done nothing more than to report them.
The efforts made by both sections of the English
Catholics to approach his Excelleney have
hitherto failed. The italian priest is just as
averse to receiving addresses from Liberal
Catholics from the Tory Catholics the
to study of the position and to the reception OF
Catholic opinion from all sides in Ireland.
