and out of hooks and underneath arches in the gray of mornings. You will stumble on dozen of them squatted and crouched upon the stone ways, with heads together, their faces invisible and the smoke of their pipes curling out of their braideen hoods, for all the world like diminutive bunch of tepees. They are unaccountable to law, yet no law could harm them. They believe all things their prey, yet they are scrupulousl5T- honest. They know no such thing as we count feS-, morality, yet tkeir virtue is immaculate. No such drinkers of spirits live, yet there is not a drunkard among them. No door in Gal way is closed upon them, yet they do not transgress the incest laws of hospitality among townspeople, while utterly without awe of thing or being upon or above the earth, not even royalty itself; for was it not my good friend, venerable Nell Morris her. sel, who as Vietoria's son, the Duke of Edin- burgh, was parading the streets of Galway in 1885, on the occasion of little lofty dis. tribution of charity to famine sufferers of that year-gave the illustrious ninny glori- ous hug, and then shaking him out of his paralysis with her two great hands, with an inimitable wink and leer, roared at him.

SENATOR SHERMAN,S BILL.
 Senator Sherman's bill to regulate the elec-
 ton of representatives in congress provides an elaborate system of electoral officers and
 boards under the authority of the national government. Its operation would extend to every State, every congressional district and every voting precinct in the country, and
 would provide entirely new machinery for
 registration and voting, superseding, so far
 as the election of representatives is concern
 ed, the present arrangements established by
 State authority,
 By this bill the president is authorized to
 appoint in each State five qualified voters, to
 be known as the board of State canvassers,
 and in each congressional district three voters
 as an electoral board. All these are to
 hold office during good behavior, that is to
 say, during life, subject, of course, to im-
 peachment for misconduct. The electoral
 board for each congressional district shall
 appoint registrar and three judges, not ali
 of the same party, for each voting precinct, and may increase the number of voting pre- cints whenever in their judgment it may be necessary, to secure fair and full ballot These election officers are to hold their of- fees for six years, subject to removal for misconduct. The registrars will conduct the registration of voters occording to the rules ! laid down with much detail in the bill. Judges of election in counting the votes may reject any which they decide to have been fraudulently cast. The judges make their reports to three commissioners of election to be appointed in each county by the respec- tive electoral boards, and these commission CTS shall correct irregularities and so forth, ! and deliver the poll books, ballots and other records of the election to the clerk of the electoral board for the congressional district.
 The board must recount the votes and verify | the returns, and make out, certify and trans- | init to the board of State canvassers list of l the votes cast. The board of State canvass CTS then takes it's turn for g final revision, eorrects Irregularities, and certifes the result \ of the election. Penalties are prescribed for | offenses against the law by fraudulent regis- | tration or voting, or attempting by threat, | bribery or deceit to influence anyone's vote. The fines collected for these offenses are to | be paid into the county treasuries for the support of common schools. The compensa- tion of the numerous election officers and the other expenses of election are to be paid from the United States treasury.
 It will be surprising if this bill receives the approval of congress, or, indeed, much approval anywhere. It would apparently l make good deal of extra work and expense
 without a corresponding gain in the purity of elections.

view of determining whether these varieties have undergone any change in the character of their fruit during the period they have been subjected to the American methods of cultivation. The result of this experiment will be watched with much interest by po- mologists.
 The Irish home rule fight costs something. The money required for the various cam- paigns which MT. Parnell and his associates are carrying on in the general cause of home rule amounts to about $23O, 1000 annually To this must be added the expenses of the Par nell commission so long as it lasts. It costs $10O, ,000 year to take charge of the evicted tenants after their homes are leveled by the constabulary. About $50,0 year more is required to maintain the Irish members of Parliament and to carry on the battle there, and it costs $25, 900 to prosecute the agitation in England which has sprung up in response to the demand for Irish orators in all parts of England. Every bye-election in a home rule district means more money for registra- tion and electloneering expenses. The de- fense in the Parnell commission litigation will use up considerably over $200, GOO.
 The smuggling of Chinese men and women from British America into United States ter ritory is very lucrative business at various points along the border from Vancouver to Winnipeg. If the venture fails at one place it is renewed at another, and sooner or later the pilgrims get in. A new trick just discov cred at WhatccEn, Washington territory, has almost taken away the breath of the federal officials, for they know that it must have been very successful for time. The large number of squaws coming into the country from British Columbia finally attracted the attention of an official and he took party of them to jail. On close inspection it was found that the creatures were not squaws at all, but able-bodied Chinamen who had paint ed and otherwise disguised themselves so as to resemble the typical Indian squaw of the frontier In one instance two young and rather comedy Chinese women came across in the garb of American women, but closely yelled. An ungallant official lifted their veils and found them out. These girls were billed through to San Francisco, and were worth to their owner about $2, 900 apiece.

 A little Boston girl who recently wrote a composition about Dr. Holmes remarked that ''he was for several years professor of monot- ony at the college"
 A Chinaman living in Canada has revealed the secret that the Chinese merchants on this continent have conspired to bring about the removal of all the Chinese in the United States to Canada and Australia, and the transfer of all our trade with China to Great Britain and its dependencies. The Chinese can go.
 A Parisian "alchimist" announces that he has discovered the art of making gold. The secret is to combine silver and copper in the right proportions under the action of the sunlight and of little nitric acid. The gold which he can thus produce Nj. Tiffereau de- clares to be absolutely pure and of the first quality; and he says that with 150 francs' worth of material he can make mass of the precious metal which will be worth 3,600 francs. He even thinks that with little ex- perienee he can bring down the cost price to 75 francs. M. Tiffereau is a very benevolent man. Some people wouldn't say anything about it if they had made such valuable discovery.
 A correspondent from Italy thus speaks of the vast proportions and evil results of the emigration from that country to the United States: It is 50 large that not few districts are left withouG cultivation or at the price of labor which renders all produce unremunera- tive. It is, as it were, the motion of pen- dulum. I remember the time when labor was so i'll paid that starvation was almost the sure consequence. Now everyone is flying to the United States or Brazil or the Plata, and comparatively few remain to cultivate rich and grateful soil. A lamentable feature of the exodus is that women are turned into beasts of burden and are compelled to do the work that should fall to the lot of man. A bill has been introduced into the Idaho legislature which provides that, having once been Mormon, citizen must have severed ! his connection with the church three years before he can vote or hold office. The Salt Lake Herald, which thinks the bill will pass | has confidence that eff this bill shall be shown to congressman it will settle the state- | hood question for Idaho for at least two years. It will require no further argument l to convince congress that community which | will elect for legislators men who would be guilty of putting such a measure into the | law books is not prepared to be intrusted | with the duties and responsibilities of carry. ing on 8 State government republican ir | form"

The lecture room Of Carroll institute was well
nned last night with delegates from the various

ceremonials attendant upon the laying OF the
corner stone Of St Peters church . success.
The day fixed for the lowering into place Of
the stone il Sunday, the 18th instant, and those
in charge OF the arrangements had decided that

church. N. l. Weller was elected chairman
Of the meeting and called upon the delegates
to state whether or not the organizations they
represented would participate in the parade.
SOCIETIES WHICH WILL PARADE.
Tho following societies, through their dele
gates, pledged themselves to be in line:
Catholic Legion of America, Catholic Knights
of America, Young Catholic Friends society,
Knights of st. Peter. Knights Of st. Augustine
Nos. and 2, Emmett Guard, Knights Of st.
Columbkiile, st. Mary's branch Of the Catholic

rade.
THE coHNIrTEE OF ARRANoEMENrs.
The report Of the committee of arrangements
was presented by Milton A. Smith. The COM
mittee had endeavored to secure the services
of Gen. Rosecrans as marshal. but the general
had excused himself on the ground that he
was too old to do work that involved 90 much
energy. Edward j. Hannah had been sug-
gested as q good man for the place and the
committee agreed with the suggestion. ].
Henry Busher was also placed in nomination,
but the members of the committee protested
against the nominating power going out of
their hands, so Mr.. Busher's name was with
drawn and Mr.. Hannah was declared to be the
the unanimous choice Of the meeting for the
chief marshalship.
