ANCIENT IRELAND.
WOODEN and Linen Fabrics and Metal
Work In the Good Old Days.

WOODEN and Linen Fabrics and Metal
Work In the Good Old Days.
Poets and rhetoricians have IN their usual
free and easy way exaggerated the materi-
al prosperity Of ancient Ireland, says Com
missioner Mccarthy in Harper's Magazine.
Much OF the splendor attributed to Celtic
Kings and Bishops and bards fades under
the cold light OF historical research. But
this very research has put beyond all doubt
that beneath the exaggerations of rhetoric
and song there lay solid substratum Of
truth. Thus the publication by a parlia-
mentary commission of the immense and
previously almost unexplored mass of legal
Institutes known as the "Brehon Laws
has verified the fact that at time when
Britons were almost naked savages the
Irish Kelts were clad in woolens and linens
of their own manufacture. The Brehen
laws abound with references not only to
wooden and linen goods, but to carding,
weaving, dyeing and the other processes of
their manufacture. Again, in the remark
able metrical account of the rights of the
monarchs of Ireland and the provincial
Kings, attributed to contemporary of ST.
Patrick, and known as the Book of
Rights" we find that tribute was paid to
large extent in cloakS, tuDics, nantes and
other articles OF wooden and linen marufact-
ure, some white, some brown, some
trimmed with purple, some with fur, and
some with gold. We can see for ourselves
something of what was done in the more
durable materials. Textile fabrics, except
OF the coarsest kind, perish in far less time
than ], 200 years. But metal-work, if good
In material and design, survives. Accord
ingly we have abundant specimens OF such
work come down TO US from the Keltc
period. Many OF these are rough, but many
are rich in material, good in design, and is ex-
quisltely skillfuI in workmanship. Some were
found deep below the surface of our boys,
where probably they were dropped in fight,
and got gradually covered with peat in the
slow lapse Of centuries. Others were found
in stone chambers made for their reception,
and forgotten for more than 1000 years.
Vast quantities of the gold-work were con-
signed to the crucible- Some goldsmiths
estimate that they purchased and melted
down as much as Ell, 900 worth of ancient
Kettle gold-work found from time to time
in Ireland. But fortunately much also has
been preserved. There is quite magnif-
cent collection of works in gold, silver and
bronze in the museum of the Royal Irish
Academy in Dublin. Besides these there
are many fine specimens in Trinity Col
lege, Dublin, and in the British Museum,
London.

A WOMAN'S REVENGE.
How Lovely Creature Got Even with
Cross Counter-Junper.

how "a Lovely creature Got Even with q
Cross Counter-J Jumper.
In one Of the largest dry goods stores in
this city there is particularly cross sales
man, says the Chicago Tribune He is
altogether too superb creature to be be-
hind dry-goocs counter, and when he
does condescend to wait upon customer
50 the women say-it is such favor that it
is really painful Yesterday young wom-
an who had suffered at his hands got even
with him in the highest style of the art.
She had been selecting the material for a
dress for an out-of town friend and the dis
agreeable salesman had chosen TO assume,
when she asked for samples, that she had
no intention of buying, and had loftily re-
ferred her to some one else, intimating as
much. The young woman had bought at
least half a dozen dresses at that counter.
and she vowed vengeance.
Yesterday she walked up TO this superb
creature with her sweetest and most de-
mure air She had a sample Of cashmere
that she knew couldn't be matched in Chi
cago, and she sat down in front of him with,
out a word.
If there is any thing that he hates-so
the women say-it is to take down goods
from the Shelves but when a sample is
self He was in a particularly lofty frame
of mind yesterday and picked up the I'M
offending sample with the condescension of
Duke at the feast After he had taken
down three heavy bolts OF cloth he
grumbled
'How many yards of cloth do you re-
quires''
Two" she answered, with her sweetest
smile. After he had taken down two or
three more he impatiently remarked to
space:
Rather an unusual shadc?"
Yes
He took down several more and scowled.
as it necessary to have an exact matchan
he finally asked
Eyes; it must match perfectly" said the
young woman. decidedly. The salesman
knows his business, If he is disagreeable-
so the women say-and, giving a disguised
kind of 4 sniff, he went to work again.
Finally, after he had taken down at least
dozen pieces and gone over his entire
stock, he brought her piece.
This is the best l can do,' he said, spite
fully; ''are you sure your sample came from
this storel'i
''Oh, no. smiled the young woman, de-
murely, Il got it in New York, and knew
you couldn't match it."

A Dig in the Ribs


If on the right side and lower part Of the
diaphragm, though playfally meant and
delivered, IS calculated to evoke profanity
from a chappy whose liver is out of order.
When that region IS sore and congested,
pokes seem fendish. Look at a mans
couutenance ere you prod him under the
ribs. If his skin and eyeballs have a sal
low tinge, you may infer also that his
tongue is ferred, his breath apt TO be sour.
that he has pains not only beneath his
ribs, but also under his right shoulder
blade. Also that his bowels are irregular
and his digestion impaired Instead OF
making a jocose demonstration on his
ribs, recommend him TO take, and steadily

PLEAS FOR STATEHOOD.
Strong Appeals Made by Territorial Dele
gates and Others in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Permission was
given the committee on postoffices and
postroads to report upon the postoffice
appropriation bill legislation providing
for classification of clerks in first and
second class postof1ices.
The house then resumed the considera-
ton of the territorial bills and was ad-
dressed by Mr.. Joseph, of New Mexico,
who presented the claims of that territory
for admission into the union. He
eulogized the character of the people
Of New Mexico, denied current belief
that they were ignorant and not de-
sirous of becoming educated and refuted
declarations that they had no regard for
law and order. In population, natural re
sources and prospects for the future, New
Mexico was entitled to take her place in
the galaxy of states.
Mr.. Struble, of Iowa, opposed the adj
miasiOn of New Mexico, saying that a
large proportion of the inhabitants of the
territory were unable to speak or under
stand the English language. No blame
should attach TO them for that. bus he
contended that until these people came up
to the line of American language and
American civilization they were not en-
titled TO statehood.
Mr. Voorhees,, of Washington, voiced
demand of the people OF that territory for
admission into the union. At the recent
election, he said, the question of admission
had been the burning issue. So keenly had
the people resented the delay for statehood
that pronounced Republican majority
haze been the result.
Mr. Mansur, of Missouri, advocated the
admission of New Mexico, asserting that
her people are fully capable of self-govern-
ment.
Mr. Hermann, of Oregon, favored the
speedy admission of those territories which
by reason of their population and natural
resources We're entitled TO statehood.
Mr.. Dubois, of Idaho. said that while
the territory which he represented was not
now asking for admission into the union.
IL did ask for an enabling act which would
fix definite time when it could assume
the responsibilities OF statehood.
On motion of Mr.. Outhwaite. of Ohio.
bill was passed to constitute Columbus,
O., port of delivery.

Petersburg, Va, Yesterday.
Some Of the Handsomest Blocks In the
City Burned-A Policeman Killed.

PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. !.
This city sustained the heaviest loss by
fire TODAY experienced since the war. Flames
were discovered about 3 this morning in the
rear of the store of A. Rosepstock & Co. or
George II Davis 4 Co. II soon broke out
of Rosenstcck 4 Co. g front door and spread
with frightiul rapidity. The buildings in
" hich the fire started are located in Iron
front block, Sycamore St. near Tabb. The
block consisted of five stores each five sto
ries high, the hsndsomest in the city. The
blocks were soon mass of flames which
communicated 10 tine buildings on each side
and swept across the street consuming six
teen places of business before it stopped.
On the west side of the street the buildings
burned were those of 7. NJ. Steward & Co i,
carriage and harness makers, Western Union
Tele graph Office; Odd Fellows Hall Young
Mems Christian A. sociation Hall; A. J.
Clements. boots, shoes and leather dealer !;
law flee of W. L. and T. J. Watkins, and

coal dealer. The total loss is estimated at
$500 600 Insurance. $500. 600 Odd Fellows
Hall was erected Atty years ago The Odd
Fellows ASSOCIATION lost nearly everything.
The origin If the fire is unknown but it is
supposed there was defective fue. Lieut..
George Crich'on of the police force, went
into the store of Eppes & Hargrave. while it
was on FIRE, with Joseph W. Hargrsve, to
get a small amount of money the latter had
in the money drawer Criehton was caught
by some heavy timbers from portion af the
wall of A. W Prices store and instantly
killed. His body was terribly burned. He
leaves widow and six children.
During the fire John Brewer, q negro
caterer, was arrested for using incediary
language to crowd of colored people. He
told then that Oh riohton ought TO have been
in hell long ago. The mayor fined him 500
and placed him under $1,000 bonds for twelve
months to keep the peace and made him give
an appeal bond in the same amount to insure
his appearance ir the higher court.
