A johnson County Weather Prophet.

Louisville Courier j Journal.
Residing at Franklin is a weather prophet
named John Ash, who has discovered q
more reliable way than the goose-bone of
predicting how severe the winters will be.
His plan is to drive a stake about four feet
long into the ground every fall at a certain
time, and measure its shadows. He claims
that when he made the test last fall, the
at a corresponding time during the previous
year. Some time ago he predicted that the
present winter would be a mild one. argu-
ing that the SUMS rays strike the earth with
too much directness to permit any severe
cold weather for any length of time. His
predictions are credited to a greater extent
than those of the signal service by the peO-
pie of his community.

ANGOLA, jan. 2s.-An important suit is
being tried here, which is attracting great
inserest, and presents some peculiar feat
ures. Gen. L.. J. Blair brought suit against
the estate of AlOnzo Lockwood to recover
$1,000. Lockwood was a wealthy citizen of
DeKalb county, who died about two
years ago. Blair's claim is founded on two
receipts for $4,000, dated in 1866, which were
given to Blair by the deceased. He claims
the receipts were for money loaned while
he was county treasurer, and produces two
witnesses who testify that in January.
1866, Lockwood paid Blair on the claim
500 in money, and promised to pay the
balance. The defense claim the receipts
were given for money which Blair owed
Lockwood; that Lockwood, who was
worth S25O,0OO, was Q mOney-lender, and
not a borrower; that Blair has been nOtO-
riously insolvent for twenty years. and if
such an obligation existed Blair would lave
collected it years ago. Eight attorneys are

The statement published in the Lon
don Weekly Dispatch, a liberal organ,
that William O'Brlen has brought an
action for libel against Lord Salisbury
in consequence of the premier's utter
ances in the course Of his late speech at
Waterford, is undoubtedly true. Of
course neither Mr.. O'Brien nor any
body else expects that the conserva tive
premier will be compelled by an En-
glish judge or an English jury to pay
the sum demanded as damages, or. in
deed, any other sum, but the plaintiff
will be afforded an opportunity to in
troduce more or less testimony supple
menting that to be given by the Parnell-
lite witnesses before the COMM ssion
and the action will be valuable, not
only to Mr.. O'Brien, but to his associ-
ate home rulers.

which the English parliament is now

April 20. The Parnell commission will

= the 3Otl Charles Stewart Parnell will
take the witness stand. This latter fact
is looked forward to with intense inter
est wherever the great Irish leaders,
name and fame have become best
known, and that the cause he has strug-
gled Tor so heroically and n1anfully will
be advanced beyond all measure from
his testimony there is 40 reason to
doubt. When he has done this, the
great conspiracy to ruin a noble MAN
and to blast the hopes Of 81 people
crushed but never conquered will be
laid bare, even to the most preludiced
mind.

The Providence Journal says that in
Rhode Island prohibition is q complete
failure. 1t adds: ''Not only has the
law failed to diminish the amount Of
liquor sold, or to lessen the disorders
and misdemeanors arising from intem-
perance, but it has resulted in the re-
moval of all restraints on liquor selling,
and has in fact enc outraged the traffic in
its most jnsidious and demoralizing
forms. And not only is the ex-
pertinent failure thus far. but 1t has
now been on trial long enough to show
that it's failure is hopeless at present.
Even in places like Newport,
where the efforts at enforcem emit are
most vigorous and best supported, the
failure of the law has been not whit
less marked tnan in places where the
local officers have been less active and
public sentiment weaker"

HIS MAGNIFICENT EFFORT.

On the first page Of to-day's issue OF
The IRISH STANDARD will be found
the closing portion of Sir Charles Rus
SELLS great address before the Parnell
commission. A late cable dispatch
from London thus commends it: There
is but one opinion Of Sir Charles Rus
sells speech. The judges, the bar and
the public agree that it is the greatest
forensic effort Of this generation. It
has many eloquent passages, its pero-
ration being the most eloquent of all.
But its highest merit in professional
eyes is it's marshaling of the evidence.
Sir Charles, by an effort of which few
lawyers are capable, has reduced that
vast and formless mass Of evidence into
order and symmetry, classified all the
various sorts of testimony, collected in
to one comprehensive statement the
struggling story OF the plaintiffs, and
then analyzed, dissected and-if you &C.
cept his theory-destroyed the whole
fabric. The political value of the
speech is, perhaps, greater still. The
ultimate effect on the public of this
narrative of public wrongs from the
Irish advocates point of view can only
be measured when it is printed and
circulated, as it will be for political
purposes. Already there are rumors in
legal circles that Sir Charles has COM
pletely carried the court with hla.
Compliments rain down on the great
lawyer, and something more than com.
pliments. Political opponents, the
chief Tory organ among them offer him
the finest tribute of all.

emit the task before the ex-Attorney-
General for England and that which
the present occupant of that high Office
so lately ended? How different the class
of evidence and the character Of the
witnesses which one called and the
other will vet call? On one side stands
Sir Richard Webster and on the other
Sir Charles Russell. Even in the advo-
Gates and in their methods how vast the
difference? We know who they were
the Times relied on to substantiate
their case. They had Richard Pigott
and others of his ilk. Sir Charles Rus
sell will call Charles Stewart Parnell
and the chief representatives of the
Irish nation. In the very contrast lies
the essence of the case. A moral vic
tory has already been won. The whole
world knows now how completely the
case for the Times has failed, aud how
hopeless has been it's malignancy against
the Irish leader. 1t has yet, however.
to realize fully the tremendous distance
which exists between the man and men
whom it maligned and illuminated,
and the hired scribblers who used its
sheets for evil purposes. 1t has yet to
come to proper understanding of the
character of those who worked to lift
nation up to freedom and to secure res
titution of the inalienable rights of an
olden people, and those others who gave
gratuities 10 f0rgers, and who kept per-
jurers IN their pay for months. The
difference is tremendous. but we are be-
ginning to believe that the Special Com
mission will measure it accurately. IF
it did not do 50 the stream Of English
justice should run back upon it's course
and the fountains Of truth be barren.
Only judgment according to equity is
wanted, which has already been won.
After ALL what had these men to al
}ege against MIR. Parnell? He brought
Irishmen to see that other roads, save
that which surely ran to battle and to
rudy warfare could lead to freedom.
He dared to realize that it was no
grievous sin for men, in the warm en-
thusiasm of generous youth, to have
been ready to peril life and limb for
sake OF their motherland, and he had no
heart to forbid them entry to the ranks
of the great legal and moral force agita-
tion winch he headed. This was another
most heinous offence. He dreamt of
all Ireland which would be free, happy,
and prosperous, the guardian of her own
liberties and the friend of England.
This was the browning fault of great
career--a fault endorsed by his country
men and soon to be endorsed by the
English government.
