The above figures only partly tell how Ire
land has suffered under free trade. No
chapter in the whole worlds history is so
dark and horrible as that of Ireland since
free trade was established by the destruc-
tion of the Irish tariff. Mr.. Looney also
quoted from Grattan, O'Connell and
Meagher, Irish orators and statesmen, to
show free trade had ruined Ireland. He
said it was mystery to him how men who
We're victims of English tyranny could vote
trade, which laid the industries of Ireland
in ruin and forced them and their children
to seek bread and homes beyond the sea.
Mr. Looney was followed by Il. G. Rey-
nolds, ESQ.,, who made brief but telling
speech opposing the sham civil service hy-
pocrisy of Cleveland's administration.
The meeting closed with three cheers for

Cape Sable Island, N 9.

A journal correspondent favors with
an extract of letter from Rev. Charles b.
Atwood of the above place. Mr.. Atwood is
a Maine man, and has been on the island
about two years, where he is pastor of a
church of six hundred members forty eight
of whom have been ctiyed into its mem
bership since the pastorate of Mr. Atwood
He has a great many friends upon the island
and has occupied positions of confidence
but still likes the states best. He writes -
II can but rejoice, as all true American
born people should that | was born under
the stars and stripes and do not feel willing
TO exchange them for the British flag, and
feel now that shall return to America in
the spring of 50. am situated on the most
southery point of Nova Scotia. The Island
is connected to the main land by
steamers running every hour, There
are twenty-seven miles of road
Cd the island and about twenty-five
hundred inhabitants. We have a progress
sive school system. There are many queer
customs among the people here. Teams in
passing turn to the left instead of the right
as it is the custom in America. Oxen are
worked in head yoke instead of bows
round the neck. People have to own several
hundred dollars worth of property in order
to vote and many papers are made out and
sworn in the presence of clergymen instead
of Justice"

The returns from female workers all over
the State have all been received and are
now being compiled and tabulated for the
Labor commissioners annual report Among
other things they show that large proper
ton of the women who earn their own living
are young girls who intend to work merely
for short time, many of them in order to
secure a small sum before becoming married.
The fact that their labor is merely of a
temporary nature no doubt partially accounts
for the fact that women's wages are so much
lower than those of men. surprisingly
large number have money deposited in banks
or in, ested in a home. The highest wages
received BY a woman is $500 per week the
munifcent pay of one OF the forewomen in
waterville mill. The lowest for steady
employment is S. weekly. The work of the
department during the year has been mainly
devoted TO the condition of female laborers,
and its report will contain some very inter
esting statistics on this subject.

Two of the pluckiest little fellows in thi.
town are Harry Tibbetts and Fay Parshley.
They. together with Lee Cyphers, went upon
the rather thin ice of the pond Tuesday nigh,
and the last named boy broke through. The
other two crawled out upon the ice, got hold
of Lees coat collar and held on. Soon q
man came along, but fearing TO go upon the
thin ice where the boys were, furnished
them with stout pole and told them how to
proceed. The Boys, sho had thus far e1.

was soon hauled out. None of the ooys

The Togus authorities are naturally some
what indignant that the relatives of James
Shea of Biddeford, the man recently
drowned in the reservoir, should hint that he
was robbed aud murdered. The story that
was missing when he WAS found, was entirely
without foundation. The fact that the man
was partly demented prevented the suthori-
ties from giving him any money. and as he
had no property of his own, it would have
been impossible for him to raise any such
sum The whole story is doubtless one OF
'hose sroundless rumors so many Of which
are circulated, and which do much to injure
the reputation of the Home.
