irish ORIGIN. and chnrncter

Putting minor divisions aside, and keepinr
IN mind the two grand divisions among tht
old Irish, namely, the imaginative, persistent
stohd, revengeful, supcrstitious Ugriun, and
the quick tempered but kind hearted gen
erous, unsteady, quick tongued, pleasure low
ing kelt, we can understand perhaps better
than before the reason for anomalies in the
national character. We may perceive in the
individual lrishman, it may be- the contest
still going on between Aryan and Ugran
between Iran and Turan. Have we not here
aclew to contradictions in Irish natures, their
fiery threats and actual peaceabeness, their
turbulence and relative freedom from crime
their reputation for ferocity among those
who do not know them, and the charm
they exercise through kindness and hospi
t.lity when treated with regardl
Il Is not fancifui to trace here the singular
mixture Of sharpness and stupidity in the
peasant, nor will it be found on reflection
hazardous to assert that the Irish owe to the
sturdy, plodding Ugrian element their ability
70 support suffering and their logged love for
the soil-traits hitherto given to the Kelt,
although history Is full Of examples Of the
Kettle passion for rowing about the world
1t is an element that gives the counterpoise
70 the hot headedness natural to those in
whom Kettle blood is strong; it explains the
caution Of many Scots and Irishmeu; for
both are apt to talk With violence, but to act
with great crreumspection. It may also sup
ply the sad, poetical side Of the Irish. 1t nc
counts, best Of all, for their essential law
abiding character when humanely treated
their freedom from crimes other than agra
rian, to which the latest trials in London bear
testimony. It may offer an explanation for
the petty though yindictive nature of mis-
demeanors like moonlighting, houghing
cattle and destroying crops-traits which
seem foreign to the Kettle genius.-C Charles
de Kay in Century.

PuHLIc SCHOOL MUSIC.
The q aDOsition Not rs o,ireat as Appar-
emily shown.

n. a apOsitiOn Not rs o;reat as Appar-
emily shown.
There is not as much commotion among
the teachers Of the public schools over
the system of music which is being
introduced. as certain papers Of the city
endeavor to show. None of the teachers
have condemned the system, which is an
admirable one, not differing greatly from
other methods If it has strong obiec-
tional features the many New England
schools which have adopted the system
would have discovered it.
Professor Bill has not finished teach
ing the system and wiz return next week,
and in April TO continue the instruction.
There Is no doubt that much of the oppo-
sition on the part of certain of the teach
ers is due not to objections TO Professor
Bill or the system, but TO a Discrimination
TO teach it.
The pupils Of the schools have taken
great interest in the new feature and an
honest, earnest effort on the part of the
teachers win no doubt finally end in good
results. A part of the time of every
days session is taken up in singing any
way, and when the system was adopted
by the Board Of Education it was with
the idea Of utilizing this time in way
that would be Of profit to the scholars.
The system is an experiment; and If
found to be successful, il is the intention
of the Board of Education to engage q
professor to teach it,
